Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sacrifice in the Mountains (1)

"Ouch!" I screamed, and the paint fell into my eyes, and it hurt so badly.

The woman who had just helped me with the color saw my tears streaming down her eyes and was stunned and a little overwhelmed. Seeing that she didn't continue, the other person next to her immediately took the paint in her hand and continued to paint on my face.

"A few sisters, it's good to be simple, and you'll have to change people later!" I smiled and said, is this a bonus experience of travel?

Ten minutes passed, and after the three women dressed quickly and skillfully, I seemed to be the empress about to ascend the throne, wearing a heavy metal hair ornament on her head, and the ponytail tied around her head was lowered and combed straight over my shoulders. The clothes they wore were very different from those of their own family, and the red and white skirts were somewhat similar to the ancient long skirts, but the ornaments on the body were too heavy to look closely.

The paint that the panicked woman had just applied to me had dried and stuck on my face, so that I couldn't speak. In addition, there were too many metal decorations on my body, and I couldn't stand up at all.

"Eldest sister, I'm dressed like this, how can I preside over the sacrifice?" I asked, a little worried, my mouth couldn't open, and my voice sounded weird, "You haven't told me about the process yet." ”

They still didn't answer me, and after making sure that the matter was done, the three of them nodded to each other and helped me to move a little. When I stood up, I realized that the shoes on my feet had also been replaced by cloth shoes. This kind of cloth shoes are not like the old Beijing brand that I usually buy, they are very primitive, they are simply wrapped in cloth on the feet, and it is extremely difficult to walk.

After a difficult move like this, they didn't take me back the way I came, but walked straight out through another door. There is a wooden sedan chair standing outside the door, the sedan chair is wrapped with red and white threads, and a few copper bells are tied to the corners. It's just that I've never seen anyone do these two things together, and it looks very weird.

"Hey. Wait a minute, did you see the girl who came with me? She's the one who participates in the sacrifice...... Woo! Just as I opened my mouth to defend myself, a spoon that came from an unknown direction was stuffed into my mouth, and suddenly a sweet taste spread from my mouth. I was just about to ask what this thing is. But then I found that I couldn't speak.

This is simply the 502 glue version of honey! I felt more and more that something was wrong with this sacrifice, but I couldn't see the expressions of the three women in front of me at all, I couldn't move my legs, I couldn't speak, I could only whimper and winkle my eyebrows. Three women carried me onto the sedan chair with all hands and feet. The heavy sedan curtain was lowered, and my eyes suddenly went dark.

It's over, it's completely reversed. I should have insisted on waiting until Qiulan came back, so why did I soften my heart and compromise. At this moment, I could only keep regretting it in my heart, until a force lifted me into the air and the sedan chair moved.

I know that no matter how much I scream at this moment, no one will let me down, so I can only calm myself down first. Depending on the angle and speed of the sedan chair, it is now going up the mountain. But there was no one around to speak, except for a few heavy breaths. The sound of the brass bell seemed extremely ethereal in the mountain, and it should have been out of the village by this time. It is surrounded by empty mountain forests.

Of all my senses, only my nose was useful, the smell of grass and trees in the mountains and forests was very high, not like the way we had been up the mountains before.

I don't know how Qin Chuyi and Song Qiulan are doing now, and whether they have found out that I have been taken to the mountain. Qiulan made a lot of preparations for this sacrifice, but on the contrary, I came with the attitude of a spectator, but now I have been dropped, and I can't help but feel a little panicked in my heart.

The sedan chair had been traveling for a long time, about several hours, but the speed had not slowed down in the slightest. The shaky rhythm was put on until I was asleep. But now the whole person is stretched from the inside to the outside, how can there be any rest. After estimating, it should be close to evening by now, and it is getting dark in the mountains quickly. Even if you run out, you can't find your way back. The lonely bell sounded a little scary now, and the cold wind that carried it with me made me shiver coldly.

The angle of the sedan chair slowly changed from inclined to straight, and finally marched to the flat ground, and there seemed to be a few villager conversations in front of it, which was a little angry.

One person opened the sedan curtain, and I helped out of the sedan chair. It's the one who speaks Mandarin. Woman in a headscarf. The sedan chair had been carried into a wooden building at some point, and the turban woman motioned for me to sit down on the spot, and then several elderly men came in at the door, dressed as respected old men in the village.

"You're here, three days." The turban woman said with difficulty, "We will deliver the food, don't run around." ”

I can't cry or laugh, even if you let me run at this time, I can't run. I hadn't eaten for a day, my stomach was already rumbling, and with so much stuff on my body and the honey in my mouth, I couldn't resist at all.

After exchanging a few words in the local dialect, the old men got up and left. The moment I saw the turban woman lock the door, the complicated feelings of sympathy and anticipation in my eyes suddenly cooled to my bones.

What kind of sacrifice is this? I shouted in my heart.

The faint brass bell on the palanquin rang again, and the sound was ethereal and ethereal, faint and far away, until finally it completely disappeared from my hearing range.

What Luo Li said about calling outstanding people to come and preside over the sacrifice is all false. Such a strange and terrifying way of sacrifice does not give people freedom, and does not let people know where to go, there is only one possibility, that is, human sacrifice.

I am the poor living man.

After dark, I had no idea what was about to happen. I remember that many of the legends of ethnic minorities record the origin of man, such as the legend of the Evenki man-bear, the Nu record of the snake and the bee mating to give birth to man, and the Tibetan legend that man was mated by a monkey and a rock demon. Qiu Xia once investigated the background of Luo Li and Luo Qing'an, their ethnic group cannot be classified into one category, it is the result of multi-racial settlement, so there is no way to verify the way of sacrifice.

I don't have a clue what will appear in front of me tonight, I just feel like my heart is dead at this time, even if Qin Chuyi and Song Qiulan find out that I am gone, they probably won't be able to find this place.

Luckily, the gang left me with food, a plate of fruit. The glue in my mouth melted away from the saliva, and I was finally able to speak again. I don't know what this honey is made of, but I feel that I have a lot of strength on my body after eating it, so I hurriedly took off the heavy hair ornament on my head.

For a moment, I only felt that my hand was empty, and then I realized that the ring that the crane had given me was missing. They took my ring off while they were changing my clothes and put it all away somewhere else. I watched as the metal ornaments I took off my body were filled with drops, and it was like a controlled knife exhibition. (To be continued.) )
