Chapter 535: Sacrifice
Ye Xiaoyu originally planned to drag Yabu in, but he was escorted by a big man, and the distance he stood was far away, and Ye Xiaoyu didn't even have a chance to get close.
Sure enough, the farmer rushed to the door and stopped in unison.
"You have the ability to never come out!!"
The fat woman scolded at Ye Xiaoyu.
"A woman doesn't know how to be ashamed, staying in a big man's house in broad daylight, tsk, it's really face-......"
"You still go to other people's houses in broad daylight to spread wildness, who is less ashamed!?"
Ye Xiaoyu stood in the courtyard and sneered at each other.
"You slut, see if I don't tear your mouth!! βββ
The fat woman was angry, but when she walked to the door, she was about to step into the threshold with one foot, and suddenly stopped again.
- She didn't dare to go in.
"If you're not afraid of death, you'll come in!!"
Ye Xiaoyu looked at the people standing at the door with a smug face.
"You take him away first!"
The patriarch turned to the several big men holding Yabu and said.
"Why did you take him away?!"
Ye Xiaoyu was anxious.
If you really want to sacrifice to the mountain god, it should be her, a foreign woman, which has nothing to do with Yabu, so why should she arrest him?
"Why?"
The lean man suddenly had confidence.
"Just because he brought you, a woman of unknown origin, to the village, just because he took his life, you are a fierce person, and because he finished her father and mother, he came to kill the people in our village!"
These words are said. It can be described as impassioned and sonorous.
"Bah!! βββ
Ye Xiaoyu casually picked up a broom beside him.
"The people of your village? Why don't you just say that you look like a person, no ghost or ghost, and he gave it to you?! β
"Xiaoyu, you hurry up, don't talk to them......"
Yabu was holding his hands and said helplessly.
"I don't talk to them, I fight them directly!"
Ye Xiaoyu said, shaking the broom in his hand.
I have never seen such an ignorant group of people, and the lower limit of her three views has been refreshed countless times.
"Xiaoyu, don't ......"
"Take him away!"
Before Yabu could finish his words, he was interrupted by the patriarch. Then he struggled all the way down and was dragged down.
"You're sick in the headβ!!"
See Jab being taken away. Ye Xiaoyu's face was full of anxiety, and she couldn't take care of much, so she rushed out directly with a broom.
There were many villagers outside the door, and she waved the broom in her hand despite it. Probably scared. Those people didn't dare to step forward to stop them for a while. And so she rushed in front of Jab.
As soon as Ye Xiaoyu arrived there, he began to beat those big men with a broom, and was caught off guard by such a wild beating. Several big men began to dodge, and the hand holding Yabu loosened a little, and when Yabu saw this, he also began to struggle desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of his hands.
Hiss -
It was only a matter of a moment when he was caught off guard, and when those few people reacted, Ye Xiaoyu was pushed to the ground in just a moment.
The strength of the man in the mountain is not ordinary, and after being pushed like this, Ye Xiaoyu's whole body was about to fall apart, and he suddenly couldn't stand up in pain.
It was too late, but Jabu suddenly gave the big man who was holding him a kick, and then another kick, taking the opportunity to break free from the hands of the two big men
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?!"
As soon as he broke free, Yabu quickly ran to Ye Xiaoyu's side, and then helped her up as fast as he could, intending to run out.
But when he helped Ye Xiaoyu up, when he looked up, he found that the two of them had been surrounded by those villagers, and many of them were the protectors of the village.
Because Aba Village is located in the mountains, in order to protect the village from the wild beasts in the mountains, every year the village directors will select some people with good body and tall body from the young and strong men who have just come of age, teach them martial arts, and use them to defend the village and the people. But in a small village that is completely isolated from the outside world, there is no need for special people to guard it on weekdays, unless there is an unforeseen situation.
Gradually, therefore, in most cases, these people were reduced to the personal guards of the patriarch, completely under his personal command, and in many cases became the tools and accomplices of the clan elders to lynch and remove the aliens in the village.
"Adulterer, adulteress! Patriarch, the mountain woman said that this year is a year of great evil, and the tribute of the mountain god is indispensable, but according to the current situation, we don't have to worry too much, a pair of young men and women, the mountain god should be very satisfied. β
The lean man poked his head out of the crowd around him, staring at Ye Xiaoyu and Yabu with a pair of small eyes.
"You go and invite the mountain woman to the ancestral hall and bring these two people over!"
The patriarch said coldly.
In between speaking, Ye Xiaoyu carefully observed the so-called patriarch of Aba Village.
Unlike the ignorance of the rest of the village, what she saw in this person's eyes was ...... Something that can't be said, but it's definitely not ignorance, but, more like a kind of knowing. It's like he knows it's nonsense, but he indulges these people to do it, and then enjoys it.
"Don't come, all of you! βββ
Ye Xiaoyu suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and landed it directly across her own neck.
"As long as someone steps forward, I will commit suicide, I say ugly things ahead, if I die like this, I will definitely not die, whoever comes up I will be the first to find someone!!"
Looking around at these people, killing intent appeared in Ye Xiaoyu's eyes.
"Xiaoyu, you ......"
Jabu turned his head and looked at her with a look of surprise on his face.
Ye Xiaoyu pulled the corners of his mouth at him, signaling him to relax, and then continued to maintain a resolute expression.
It's a risky move.
She didn't really want to kill herself, she was shouting at these people. I just want to bluff this group of superstitious and ignorant villagers.
Several villagers and guards who originally wanted to step forward were yelled at by Ye Xiaoyu, and they all stopped again.
"Why are you still stunned? Take both of them away. β
As the patriarch spoke, he walked out of the crowd quickly.
"If any of you dare to take a step forward, I will die right here!"
Ye Xiaoyu waved the dagger in his hand and roared loudly.
When the people heard this, they did not dare to move.
The scene was at an impasse.
"Do you want to offend the mountain gods? These two people are people recognized by the mountain gods! β
Suddenly, a very ugly voice came from the side.
Following the look, Ye Xiaoyu saw a man in a black robe coming over in an ox cart. The black robe and hat hid her entire face inside, and if it weren't for her voice, she wouldn't have been able to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Lady Shanpo......"
Villagers surrounding them. I saw the black man approaching. All of them had reverent and respectful expressions.
"These are the two ......"
After the mountain woman approached, a pair of eyes appeared from her hat, staring at Ye Xiaoyu and Yabu gloomily, and then said leisurely.
"Lord Jebdorah Almighty. Are these two people the ones you say you are destined? β¦β¦β
After watching it for a while. He sat back on the ox cart. Raise your hands, look up at the sky, and muttered loudly. The expression is so pious that it seems to be really communicating and reporting like a mountain god.
Rumble.
Suddenly, the paper money in front of her burst into flames, as if it had been ignited by something in an instant, and began to burn.
"Lord Jebdorah...... Be...... Be...... Your Majesty understands...... Be...... I'm going to do it......"
While kneeling on the ox cart and bowing, the mountain woman replied reverently, as if she was really talking to the mountain god.
Seeing this, everyone knelt down one after another.
It's a good chance to escape.
Just when Ye Xiaoyu wanted to pull Yabu and run out, he found that he unconsciously began to kneel.
Ye Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, she almost forgot that although Yabu was not as exaggerated as other villagers, he was also a person in this village, and the beliefs and concepts that had been passed down from generation to generation had subtly precipitated in his heart, and it would be impossible to eliminate them for a while.
"Let's go!"
Ye Xiaoyu turned his head and whispered, stopping him from kneeling in time.
Saying this, Yabu suddenly reacted, nodded, and then pulled Ye Xiaoyu to turn around and run out.
"Lord Jebdorah has commanded that you bring these two men to him-!!"
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu and Yabu running out, the mountain woman hurriedly spoke and asked those guards to arrest them.
"When these two men have been captured and handed over to Lord Jebdorah, all those who participate will have merit, and Your Excellency will remember it, and will put it in your father's book to bless your fathers and grandchildren with peace and harmony for generations to come......
In order to dispel the concerns of the villagers, the mountain woman continued.
As soon as everyone heard that they could accumulate merit, they all rushed towards Ye Xiaoyu and Yabu frantically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and before they could run a few steps, they were surrounded by a large group of people again, but this time the difference was that several of the guards directly stepped forward and tied up the two of them.
The dagger in Ye Xiaoyu's hand was also taken away by one of the guards.
"Lord Jebdorah has commanded that they should be brought to his palace......
The mountain woman closed her eyes and gave orders on the ox cart leisurely, as if everything was under her control.

"If you fall from here, you should die, right?"
Ye Xiaoyu turned his head and said to Yabu beside him.
The two of them were tied to two pillars in front of the mountain temple, paved with wooden planks below, and the abyss was under the planks. The planks are movable and can be pulled away from the side, and as soon as someone pulls the plank from the side, the two of them will fall into the bottomless cliff below, along with the pillar tied behind them.
"Xiaoyu, you should listen to me and stay in the house."
Yabu also turned his head and looked at Ye Xiaoyu.
That house is a big murderous place in the eyes of the villagers, no one dares to enter it, as long as Ye Xiaoyu stays inside and doesn't come out, those people won't find out, at least they can escape. (To be continued......)
