Looking at Luo Li's happy figure, I was a little melancholy. The unknown of such a thing is too high, and if something goes wrong, it's too late to regret it. I took the thick envelope handed to me by Luo Li and looked at Qin Chuyi with some concern, is this guy really agreeing to others for money?

"Are you going to the mountains to preside over the sacrifice, or is it a place you don't know, are you afraid?" On the way back, I asked him as I walked.

"Afraid? I can't see anything anyway, so what am I afraid of? He smiled weakly, "Besides, we have already taken the deposit, can we still regret it?" The other party is a barrister, and if we take it to court, this matter will be in trouble. ”

"But this matter has nothing to do with it, so why should we be involved?"

"Look at me, how can I continue to help you like this? You remember, if something goes wrong with me over there, this money will be the last gift I'll give you. ”

"I don't want any gifts from you!" I was so angry that I shook off the hand that was holding him and walked to the front on my own.

"Huh! Sorry! His free hand immediately grabbed in the air, and he couldn't find me. My heart was so sad that I had to go over and continue to support him. In fact, I also thought that as long as I locked him up at home and didn't let him go out, he wouldn't be able to help Luo Li participate in any sacrifices. If I really have to go, I'll follow him and stick to him no matter what.

The festival was held on August 28, and due to the remoteness of the area, we had to leave one day earlier. I packed everything for him and was about to go to the kitchen to cook him dinner, when his phone rang again, it was supposed to be Lori's message, she was going to make one last confirmation with us tonight.

As soon as I opened the message, I was a little dumbfounded, Qin Chu saw that I didn't speak, he was stunned, and hurriedly asked me what was wrong.

She said that the sacrificial stand-in had to be the same as her. Be...... Female. ”

"What?" Qin Chuyi was also a little surprised, "She didn't tell us about this beforehand!" No, no, let's not take it. ”

"But you've already received the deposit, not to mention that she's already notified the family. If we don't go, she'll probably not be able to find anyone else. ”

"Anyway, I will never allow you to take risks, no matter what, I can only go, you stay at home!"

"But ......"

"I'll go!" Just as the two of us were pushing each other. A voice came from the door, Song Qiulan took off the hat she was wearing on her head, and said with a smile, "I'll be her stand-in, I'll go." ”

I gave her the keys to the house when she left, and I didn't expect her to come back at this time, knowing that we were about to take over.

"How did you ......" I was a little surprised.

"I got a clue," she said as she changed her shoes. "Chunyu's hometown is the same place as Luo Li, and I can investigate her news by the way. Oh, I saw Luo Li's reply. ”

As soon as Qin Chu heard that there was a clue, he immediately said: "That's right, Qiulan, it's only been a few days, and you've found out the news of Chunyu!" ”

She walked over and pulled out a chair and leaned on it, it seemed that she was too tired to rest these days, and she didn't have a good rest at all. I went to the kitchen and grabbed an extra pair of chopsticks. Listen to her continue.

"I went to the place where Zhao Cheng used to work," she rubbed her temples and continued, "Chunyu is highly accomplished in semiotics. I found a lot of authoritative journals, and there was a name on it that had been published for a long time, and I looked a little suspicious, suspecting that it was Chunyu's real name. ”

"What's the name?" I put the chopsticks in front of her and said.

"Luo Qing'an." Qiulan paused and said, "This person's appearance and age are very similar to Chunyu. I suspect that Chunyu's real name is Luo Qing'an. Her hometown is in the remote mountainous region of Southwest Province, and she comes from the same place as Luo Li. ”

Luo Qing'an. I added another name to the dictionary in my head.

"So I happened to go to the sacrifice as Luo Li's stand-in this time, and by the way, I investigated her, killing two birds with one stone." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly began to stuff food into her mouth, and it seemed that she had been hungry for a long time.

"This thing is risky, Luo Li said that everyone who participates in the sacrifice will be infected and die, I don't worry about you going." I said.

"My old bones, I can still live here so well, I rely on you to save them, it's time for me to do something for you. Don't argue, I've already decided on this matter. Her words were firm and could not be discussed. But thinking that Qin Chuyi could get out of danger, I actually had a trace of comfort, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed of this comfort.

Luo Li was very happy to hear that we had found a new stand-in, and immediately agreed to the request of the three of us to go together, and also booked a round-trip ticket for us to go to Southwest Province. Since the three days of the festival are to be spent in the village, the hotel is free. The three of us packed up our belongings that night and rushed to the airport at the appointed time to embark on a dangerous but tempting sacrificial journey.

Southwest Province is naturally located in the southwest of China, and has been known for its beautiful scenery and mysterious culture since ancient times. From the mountains to the magnificent rainforests, this is not a fast-growing place, but there have been many literati and scholars in this area, including some of the biggest names in the industry. If you look down from the plane, you can see a completely different scenery from N City, and you will see a large area of greenery, and you will feel like you are back to nature.

Qiulan was even more excited on the plane, her technology in those days was not comparable to today, and I specially asked her to sit at the window so that she could see the surrounding scenery more clearly. If you want to ask me how she boarded the plane, then ask Lu Yao, this guy helped us all get it.

As soon as we got off the plane, we headed straight to the village. Cities in the southwest are like a big furnace in the summer, the humidity in the air is heavy, and the clothes are sticky and sticky. Qin Chu tried to strip himself naked several times, but I stopped him, because as soon as we approached the mountain pass, a group of children and daughters frolicked by, and I was afraid that they would scold Chu Yi for being a hooligan.

The road into the mountain is very difficult to drive, so few people drive into the mountain by themselves, generally the old driver in the mountain is fixed every day to pick up people at the mountain pass, and the obsolete does not wait. When we arrived, the car was waiting for someone, and we got on immediately. The driver was very talkative, heard that we went to Lori's village, and introduced us to him.

"There are a lot of souvenirs in the village, and a few bosses can bring more when they go back, which is very cheap!" He spoke Mandarin with a thick accent, and his voice swayed with the swaying car, bending when it entered his ears.

"Master, do you know what the process of sacrifice in the village is?" I sat down next to him and asked.

"Sacrifice?" The master didn't speak, frowned and thought for a while, "You mean the sacrifice in the village of the twenty-eighth?" ”

"Yes, we're here for that, let's ......" Qin Chuyi pulled my clothes and signaled not to say too much, I was stunned for a moment and immediately shut up. (To be continued.) )
