78_78447 Fortunately, Gu Xiang's English level is not bad, otherwise it may really be a dead end.

Gu Xiangtong guò imitated the behavior of those people, and did not let those people notice that she was different.

On the contrary, many people see her as a kind personality, so they are still very friendly to her.

After walking on the streets all morning, Gu Xiang had almost touched the bottom of this place, the name of this place is Imperial Island, which is a small island with an area of almost 100,000 cubic meters in the northeast of the Pacific Ocean.

Because of his remoteness, few people know that there is such an island in the Pacific Ocean, and he is not even marked on the map.

However, although few people know about this island, the island's economic development and technology are at the forefront of the world.

TV, refrigerator, computer, wifi, as long as there is zài in the world, they have it all on this island.

Although this island is technologically advanced, this island is actually private, the owner of this island, people call him the emperor, in this island the emperor is the king's law, whoever the emperor wants to die, who will die, there can be no delay for a moment.

Through the awe of those people for this emperor, Gu Xiang thought of the ancient kings in the history of Huaguo.

In order not to expose herself, Gu Xiang did not hang herself from a tree, she successively found seven or eight people to talk to, she wanted to know, if she wanted to leave from this small island, what was the way?

Hearing Gu Xiang ask this, most of the people were shocked, and then fled from the place where Gu Xiang was as fast as possible, and those people gave Gu Xiang the feeling as if Gu Xiang was a plague.

Being rejected so many times, Gu Xiang was also a little discouraged, and when he found a free place to rest, he heard a casual voice behind him say. "You want to leave this island? Do you know what it means to leave the island? ”

Hearing what the person behind him said, Gu Xiang quickly turned his head around, and saw that it was a beggar dressed in tatters with his face covered, Gu Xiang was a little discouraged, "What does it mean, my family didn't tell me at all." ”

Seeing Gu Xiang's innocent face, the beggar sighed. "Wanting to leave this island means death. Do you know how your parents taught you? ”

Hearing the beggar say this, Gu Xiang groaned. He said to the beggar, "My parents have died a long time ago, and I grew up under my grandmother's raising, so for some things. I don't really understand, my grandmother was mute by nature. So I simply don't know what to do and what not to do. To be honest, I'm really curious, why not let you leave this small island? ”

Seeing Gu Xiang continue to ask. The beggar sighed before he said, "Because this is the emperor's rule." Whoever dares to disobey the emperor's orders will wait to be punished by the emperor! Don't lie to me either. I'm over 60 years old this year, so you're not from this island, are you? If it's really from this island, how can you not know this regulation, were you captured by the emperor? ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang said a little unnaturally, "How do you know, I don't think I have any flaws!" ”

Hearing Gu Xiang say this, the beggar smiled, "How can I say that I have lived for such a long time, and I eat more salt than the water you drink, how can I not find out about your little trick!" ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang smiled, "Okay, since you are so powerful, then can you tell me, if you want to leave here, how do you do it?"

"Don't think about it, it's impossible, I was demoted to a beggar by the emperor's subordinates because I wanted to get out of this island back then."

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang was surprised, "Did you want to leave here back then?" ”

Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man nodded, "I was young at the time, young and frivolous, I always thought that there was nothing in this world that I couldn't do, who knew that it would end up like this!" If my eldest brother hadn't interceded with me at that time, maybe I would have ended up like those of my partners. ”

Hearing the old man sigh like this, Gu Xiang pondered for a moment before he asked cautiously, "May I ask what happened to those friends of yours?" ”

Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man sighed before he said to Gu Xiang, "What can I do, I was killed, the rule of this island is that if you want to leave this island, there is only one way to die." If it weren't for the fact that my eldest brother was the emperor's most loyal subordinate, I would not have been able to save this life. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang was shocked, "Is there no way to leave here?" ”

Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man shook his head, "Unless you get the emperor's permission, don't even think about it, there is only one place on this island that has a boat, and there are no boats in other places at all, the emperor strictly guards the place where there is a boat, and it is impossible for ordinary people to break through the emperor's defense line, to be honest, I really want to go outside to see, this is not only to fulfill my own dream, but also to fulfill the dream of our little friends back then, I am sixty-six years old this year, I don't know how many years I can live." ”

Seeing the old man sigh so emotionally, Gu Xiang's eyes turned red, "Uncle, you must be able to see the outside world, so please don't be so discouraged, the world is so big, we will definitely have a way." ”

Seeing Gu Xiang comforting himself like this, the old man was very happy, "Actually, I am already very satisfied, when the end of my life comes, I can see you, this is already God's mercy on me, people, don't be too greedy in this life, once you are too greedy, you will find that in the end there is nothing left, you must cherish what you have in front of you, don't let your future self continue to regret it." Child, I'm already old and can't get out, but you're different, although I don't know why the emperor wants to arrest you, but my intuition tells me, there must be nothing good, I know a road, but that road is particularly dangerous, do you see the dense jungle behind the island? ”

After seeing Gu Xiang nodded, the old man continued, "Passing through that jungle, there is a bamboo raft there, don't think it's very simple, the most difficult thing to do is to go through the jungle, because there are all kinds of fierce birds and beasts in that jungle, no one has ever been able to come out of that jungle alive, in order to ensure that innocent people are not killed in vain, the emperor stipulates that no one is allowed to enter that jungle." Although those fierce birds and beasts of prey are very difficult to deal with. But it's an opportunity for us. It is better to fall into the hands of those fierce beasts than to fall into the hands of the emperor, who will make your life worse than death. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang was ruthless, and then said to the old man, "Okay." I'll try. I'm going to see if it's my life, or if I'm doomed to die. That's right. One thing, I want to ask you, what day after tomorrow will be! ”

Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man hurriedly asked. "Are you asking the day after tomorrow?"

After seeing Gu Xiang nodded, the old man began to think about what day the day after tomorrow was. "The day after tomorrow, what day is the day after tomorrow, I remember, the day after tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony of our small island."

"Sacrificial rituals. What the hell is that? ”

Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man showed a painful look, after a long time. He continued, "The sacrificial ceremony is the sacrifice that the emperor offers to the heavens. to ensure that Heaven continues to uphold His rule. ”

"Are there any requirements for the whole sacrificial ceremony?"

Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man said with a wry smile, "Not only are there requirements, but the requirements are also very strict. The sacrificial ceremony needs to find two virgins born in the yin time and two virgins born in the yang time, and the candidates for the sacrificial ceremony were all selected on the island, but later because there was no one on the island to meet, there was no way, so the emperor stretched out his hand outside the island. For this sacrificial ceremony, the emperor has to find four qualified people from all over the world every year, are you the one who was found by the emperor to perform the sacrifice? ”

Hearing the old man ask, Gu Xiang nodded with a wry smile, "If there is no accident, I should be the one they found to carry out the sacrifice." ”

Hearing Gu Xiang say this, the old man showed a look of surprise, "How did you manage not to faint?" I remember that those who were sacrificed before could not have been as sober as you. ”

Hearing the old man ask, Gu Xiang pondered for a moment before he said, "In order to prevent me from being kidnapped at home, they specially gave me antidotes to understand various drugs. Even with some strong drugs, I would have woken up in half an hour at most. ”

Hearing Gu Xiang say this, the old man was surprised, "There is still this kind of medicine, if I had obtained this medicine back then, would Hua Sheng not have been sacrificed." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang was confused, "Who is Hua Sheng, is it your lover?" ”

"It can be said that the two of us had no guesses, and we were both at the age of engagement, but Hua Sheng was suddenly told that I was going to go as a sacrifice for that year, I thought about taking Hua Sheng away, but you also saw this place, it was impossible to escape, and finally after the day, Hua Sheng, who drank the medicine, was taken away by those people to sacrifice, and since then, all thoughts have been lost, I don't want to continue to live on this island, so I challenge the authority of the emperor, If it weren't for me, those friends of mine back then might not have been punished by the emperor, and they would have a bright future, but now they have left me with nothing but bones. ”

After listening to what the old man said, I don't know why Gu Xiang especially wanted to cry for this old man, he had encountered so many things, and he hadn't fallen yet, so what reason did she have not to cheer up?

"Uncle, I understand what you want to tell me, don't worry, I will definitely not give up until the last one."

Hearing Gu Xiang say this, the uncle nodded, "It's good that you can think so, but you must be careful, those people under the emperor are very black, you must not be caught by them." ”

"Well, okay, uncle, don't worry, I will do my best to continue walking, I think I will not live up to your expectations, but even if I live up, I will not lose, and when the time comes, we will go on the road together."

Hearing Gu Xiang say this, the old man smiled, "It's good if you can think like this, always remember one sentence, only you can defeat you, as long as you still have faith, then there is still hope to live." ”

Seeing the old man say this, Gu Xiang nodded, "Well, okay, uncle, you are waiting for my good news, I will definitely let you go to the outside world to have a look." ”

Hearing Gu Xian say this, the old man nodded, "Okay, good, good." ”

After separating from the old man, Gu Xiang began to walk towards the jungle, and it turned out that what the old man said was indeed right.

There is not a single guard around this jungle, it seems that the emperor is very confident in this jungle, otherwise there would not be a single guard.

After carefully observing the surroundings of the jungle for a while, Gu Xiang ran back to the place where she had hidden Shen Ru before, entered the house, and saw that those people did not find anything abnormal, so Gu Xiang quickly dragged Shen Ru out from under the bed.

However, the most troublesome thing for Gu Xiang came, how to transport Shen Ru out without anyone noticing.

Just when Gu Xiang's heart was about to grow on fire, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Seeing this, Gu Xiang suddenly made a loud alarm, and before Gu Xiang could come out of the shock, he heard the old man's voice coming from outside the door, "It's me, open the door quickly." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.

Sure enough, there was only one old man who came in, "I just forgot to give you the map, in fact, it was a test I gave you just now, if you want to lose your companion and run away by yourself, then it is not my business whether you live or die or die." You really lived up to my expectations, to be honest, although I failed back then, but for so many years, I never gave up, I secretly went to the jungle to find a safe way, after so many years of hard work, I finally found a very safe road. There is indeed a bamboo valve there, but it is not so damaged before, if you lose your companion and leave by yourself, even if you find the bamboo raft, you will not be able to leave, and besides, I have also stolen a boat in the jungle. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang was really shocked, "As the saying goes, it's true, Jiang is really still old and spicy." She never thought that this old man would play so much with her, she was really too stupid. ”

Seeing that Gu Xiang didn't say anything for a long time, the old man himself was a little embarrassed, "Child, I deceived you once, you are so affectionate, then if I rob my boyfriend, will you kill me!" ”

Hearing the old man say this, Gu Xiang pondered for a moment before asking him, "That's not it, but I guess I will make you regret it for the rest of your life, by the way, uncle, there is one thing, I want to ask you, I obviously didn't tell you that I still have companions, how do you know?" ”

Hearing Gu Xiang ask, the old man smiled proudly, "Hahahaha, this requires your keen observation. (To be continued).
