23. Sea Lady Sacrifice
The autumn breeze set foot on Mozark's land for the first time, and when the waves returned to the land with the gift of the sea, the sea god festival was about to begin.
Early that morning, when the sky was still bright, Ah Zhan was picked up from bed by Wu Yan.
"Hey, get up!" Wu Yan was full of energy and dressed up Ah Zhan, and chattered like his own mother. "You must dress up beautifully today!"
"Ahh......h
"All in all, Ah Zhan must be very beautiful!" Wu Yan held his proud head high and pulled Ah Zhan down in front of the mirror and began to dress her up.
For many years, Ah Chan did not pay attention to the habit of dressing up, and Ah Chan's mother was not happy to dress up her daughter. Sometimes the young Ah Zhan and Du Yuebai secretly played games of dressing up with each other at home, and if they were found out by their mother, they would be scolded.
Ah Zhan didn't quite understand why her mother forbade her to do things that normal girls would do, but she gradually got used to it.
Just when Ah Zhan was in a daze in the mirror, Wu Yan was very busy. She straightened out her long black hair, carefully curled it into a silky bun, and as if she were juggling, she found a delicate inky blue crystal hairpin out of nowhere. Inserted it in the hair for A-chan.
"Ah Zhan, are you up?" At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Tang Qiong's deep voice.
"Ah, get up. Ah Zhan was getting dressed with the help of Wu Yan, and when she heard the sound outside the door, she suddenly panicked, and the two of them hurriedly got dressed, and Ah Zhan went to open the door with her skirt.
Outside the door stood Tang Qiong, and beside Tang Qiong, stood Tang Song Luo, who was dressed in a gray robe. Even on such a festival, he still wears the pure gray of the first time he met Azhan, gentle and detached.
Seeing Ah Zhan, Tang Qiong and Tang Songluo's expressions were obviously stunned, but then Tang Songluo laughed: "I'll just say, this girl must be a beautiful embryo." As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed Ayan's head.
"Hey, don't mess it up!" Wu Yan slapped Tang Songluo's claws away with anger, carefully protecting the fruits of his labor, Tang Songluo was startled by the sudden blow, but he still had a gentle smile, and he didn't care about Wu Yan's clamor at all.
On the side, Ah Zhan listened to Tang Songluo's words, but her face turned red, she looked at the angry Wu Yan and the always safe Tang Songluo, then stomped her feet, and held back for a long time before saying, "I'm hungry!"
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then several people laughed, but Ah Zhan's face turned even redder.
After breakfast, several people headed for the sacrificial shore.
Every year in the run-up to autumn, the people of Tasroli hold a grand festival of the sea god on the Altar Coast, which is not only an annual pilgrimage feast, but also a symbol of Mozark's prosperous ama's birthday.
"In Mozark, there is no place where the Poseidon Festival is more lively than in Tasro!" Wu Yan happily showed off the prosperity in front of him, and Ah Zhan followed Tang Songluo slowly, she looked at all this in front of her, but felt sadness in it.
It was the year her mother left, and she finally explained to Ah Zhan why they had fled.
"Aar, you are the daughter of the sea, but you are not the only one. Mother said this with tears in her eyes, and she didn't understand what was wrong with her as a superfluous one, and she only despaired of her mother's departure.
But now, looking at everything prosperous in front of her, she understands the meaning of sadness.
All Mozarks were proud of the time in which they were born, and they all believed that they could live in a prosperous and happy era. But if at this time, there is suddenly an extra ama, what will be left?
It's despair.
If hope is deprived, there will be only despair left in this world.
Ah Zhan thought silently like this, but Tang Songluo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at Ah Zhan with a pair of eyes that seemed to be insightful, and then whispered in her ear, "If you rescue Du Yuebai, where do you want to go?"
"I want to ...... Go back to Moonlight Island with her. Ah Chan said.
But when she said this, something moved in her heart. What kind of affection is it Ah Zhan disappeared before he had time to investigate, but Tang Song Luo nodded at Ah Zhan with a smile, and then said, "You are very beautiful today." ”
Then he walked forward again and never looked back.
Ah Zhan looked at the back of the person walking in front of him, this back was not strong and tall, but it was extremely calm and calm. In Ah Zhan's impression, since the day she met Tang Songluo, this man has been as calm and calm as ever, he is always smiling and always giving her a positive answer. No matter how difficult it is, in Ah Zhan's impression, Tang Songluo must be okay.
But is it really possible?
At this moment, Ah Zhan suddenly thought, with such a grand event as the sea maiden sacrifice, could Tang Song Luo really save Yuebai?
She was suddenly scared.
At this moment, Ah Zhan felt a pair of cold hands holding her, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Wu Yan was holding her hand tightly, looking nervous and not knowing where to look.
Ah Zhan felt strange in her heart, she shook Wu Yan's hand back, but she didn't see Wu Yan's usual smiling face.
"Ahh. Just when Ah Zhan was suspicious, Wu Yan suddenly spoke. "You have to come on!" her tone suddenly rose and brought full strength, as if the girl with a straight face just now was not her.
Looking at Wu Yan who had changed abruptly in front of him, Ah Zhan was confused, but he still smiled and agreed: "Definitely!"
Then both girls burst out laughing.
In a cheerful and calm atmosphere, several people came to the sacrificial shore.
The lively atmosphere enveloped the entire coast, and everyone rejoiced, but Azhan always felt like he was being spied on.
"What do you see, Aaron? Wu Yan looked at Ah Zhan who was looking around and asked her.
"No, I didn't see anything. Ah Yan shook her head, and then said. "I just felt like somebody was watching me. ”
"Is that so......" Wu Yan thought for a moment, she looked at Ah Zhan, but finally said nothing.
At the same time, on the side of the distant sacrificial platform, a young girl stretched out her delicate and white hand, pointed at Ah Zhan and said with a smile: "Is that Xiao Ayan's new friend? What an interesting child." I want to meet them. ”
