160, living sacrifice (three watches)

The four maids were stunned, anything in it is worth 10,000 gold!

"It is our duty to do things for our masters, and how dare we accept such precious things. The four shook their heads repeatedly. Although they and Luo Chong sometimes laughed and messed around, they could still tell the weight of the matter.

"I said yes, yes!" Luo Chong said with a straight face, "Since I am your master, you have to be obedient." ”

The four maids exchanged glances with each other, and then said happily: "Thank you, master!"

With that, the four girls turned into four chirping sparrows in an instant, and quickly ran to a pile of congratulatory gifts, choosing what they liked.

Looking at the happy appearance of the four people, Luo Chong smiled and said: "You choose slowly, don't be in a hurry! In addition, I will go out tomorrow, and I may come back in a day or two, and the affairs of the family will be handed over to you." ”

Luo Chong still remembered that he had promised Xia Xiaoou, who gave him water to drink, to dig a canal for their village and bring water from the forest to the village. Now that everything needs to be done is done, it's time to keep the promises.

"Yes, master. The four maids said in unison. Although they were curious, they also knew that the master's affairs were not something they should inquire about.

On the second day, Luo Chong stepped onto the red-striped leopard, all the way out of Fengyun City, and headed towards the village where he had met Xia Xiaoou.

"It's been almost a month, and I don't know how she's doing now?" Thinking of that innocent, kind, and distressing little girl Xia Xiaoou, Luo Chong felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

"Xiaoou has lost her parents and is alone in the village, this time I will simply take her back to Fengyun City and let her suffer again!"

Thinking like this in his heart, Luo Chong urged the red-striped leopard again and rushed out like a gust of wind.

......

Half a month later, the village was still arid and barren, the cracks in the ground seemed to be bigger, the whole village seemed to be in an oven, and the ground was almost smoking.

However, with the physique in front of Luo Chong, he can completely resist this heat, even if he is wearing a robe, he does not even have a drop of sweat on his forehead.

After putting the red-striped leopard into the Linglong Pagoda, Luo Chong walked towards the village on foot.

As soon as he walked into the village, Luo Chong saw a few ragged old men holding blunt knives, scraping the bark of the tree, while stuffing the torn bark into his mouth, chewing hard, desperately absorbing a trace of juice from the bark.

"The drought situation here is even more terrible than I imagined!" Luo Chong's heart couldn't help but sink, he didn't know what happened to Xia Xiaoou now, after all, she had no parents and lived alone, it must be very difficult.

Luo Chong came to a few old men and asked, "Old man, do you know where Xia Xiaoou is now?"

When several old people saw Luo Chong, they couldn't help but be stunned, this village has not been visited by outsiders for a long time.

"Are you looking for Xia Xiaoou?" asked an old man, a hint of suspicion in his cloudy eyes.

Luo Chong nodded: "Do you know where she is?"

"I don't know. The old man shook his head.

Luo Chong watched several old people chewing the bark, and his heart was unbearable for a while, so he immediately got the kettle from his waist and handed it over: "You guys drink some water first!"

When several old people saw the kettle, they hesitated slightly, and then suddenly rushed up and snatched the kettle from Luo Chong's hand.

"A pot of water can't solve the problem, or we should bring in the water source. Luo Chong said secretly in his heart.

Thinking of this, Luo Chong got up and prepared to go elsewhere to find Xia Xiaoou.

"Young man, Xia Xiaoou...... has been arrested by the village chief. The old man who had just spoken to Luo Chong suddenly said.

"Grab it, why?" Cough out was taken aback.

The old man said helplessly: "Because she privately gave the water source in the village to a foreigner, the village chief arrested her and sacrificed to the river god." ”

"What?" Luo Chong heard this, and rushed to the top of his head in anger. He didn't expect that because of a pot of water, Xia Xiaoou would have to pay the price of his life!

"What about her now, is she already worshipping the river god?" Luo Chong asked urgently. I secretly swore in my heart: If Xia Xiaoou is dead, he must pay for the life of the bastard village chief!

The old man shook his head and said, "Not yet." The village chief invited a very powerful contradict, who is said to be able to communicate with the river god, Xiao Ou was arrested by that person, and no one knows where he was locked up. ”

Luo Chong breathed a sigh of relief, at least Xiaoou was still alive now.

After a little thought, Luo Chong asked, "When will the sacrificial ceremony be held?"

"I guess it's been in the past two days, the location is said to be by the river, and now the altar has been set up there, and the village chief has also sent a special person to guard it, so that no one can get close, and if anyone approaches, they will be arrested together. The old man glanced at Luo Chongdao.

"Are you just looking at it, a little girl is dying in vain?" Luo Chong waited for a few old men.

"We ...... It's also powerless!" Several old men couldn't help but bow their heads, "The village chief has the final say on everything in the village, and the Contra Master he invited is still from Fengyun City, and he has just passed the Contra Master level assessment!"

Speaking of this, the eyes of several old men were full of fear.

"Contra Master?" Luo Chong snorted disdainfully.

"Young man, you must not come nonsense! There are many things in this world that cannot be changed by people like us!" The old man noticed that Luo Chong's expression was wrong, and he was afraid that he would go to the Contra Master, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

Several other old men also echoed: "Yes, you are still young now, you must not lose your life in vain because of a momentary mood!"

"That's right, you better go, the power of the Contra Master is far beyond your imagination, and it is said that the person also bought a mansion in Fengyun City, and his power is not small!"

"People are under the low eaves, and they have to bow their heads!"

......

Luo Chong listened to the chatter of several old people, and couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart, his legs flicked, and he swept towards the direction of the river with a whoosh.

"Hey, when did the young man leave?"

A few chattering old men are already dizzy, how can they see Luo Chong's body clearly?

Luo Chong was worried about Xia Xiaoou's safety, so he ran all the way to the river.

"That's the altar, right?" Luo Chong saw from a distance that there was a large square earthen platform by the river, and three incense tables were placed on the earthen platform, and there were yellow paper, incense candles, bamboo poles and other items used in the sacrifice on one side of the incense table.

Around the square earthen platform, there were two groups of sturdy men in green clothes, each holding a sword, standing there like a benchmark.

"These people should be under the command of the Contra Master!" Luo Chong felt a trace of coldness in his heart, and walked straight away.

When they got closer, several men in Tsing Yi felt Luo Chong's strangeness, Cang Lang! pulled out the long knife at his waist, pointed at Luo Chong and said, "Boy, this is not the place you should come, get out of here!"
