The sun is just right,

After coming out of the inn, the wind pulled Huang Shuling like a gust of wind, and went straight to the port, at this time the port was very lively, a prosperous scene, the traffic was busy, shoulder to shoulder, and there were fishermen who went out to fish everywhere.

In the crowded crowd, the wind looked around, found an old man sitting on the ground smoking, at a glance it was the boat boss who was mooring the boat, explained the intention, the two discussed the price, and the old boatman got on the boat and pulled the two away.

The boat moved slowly on the lake, and stood on the deck with the wind blowing, observing the surroundings and being vigilant against King Sovia chasing after him.

Halfway through the trip, and with the calm of the wind and waves along the way, the wind relaxed his vigilance, walked into the cabin, and remembered what Sovia had said, 'If you leave Sovia City, I will let you go.' Qifeng couldn't help but feel funny, and then laughed:

"We can't do without anything, it's just unimpeded. ”

Qifeng learned the way Suovia spoke, and performed to Huang Shuling, causing a burst of laughter.

Near noon, the boat docked, and after paying the old boatman the money in the wind, he carefully helped Huang Shuling off the boat, and when he stepped on the land steadily, he couldn't help but sarcastically say:

"Isn't this coming out? He said we can't get out, let's go. ”

The boss of the ship behind him did not say anything along the way, and this first sentence seemed to speak for King Sovia:

"It's still early, it's a kilometer further from here to get out of Sovia, and I'll wait here for you to come back. ”

Qi Feng replied triumphantly:

"Old boatman, you go first, we won't go back, hahaha......"

The old boatman got out of the boat, sat down on the ground as if he had not heard, lit a cigarette to himself, and said no more.

The road was overgrown with weeds, the grass was abundant, Qifeng and Huang Shuling walked along the sheep intestine path, all the way up, and suddenly stopped when they walked out of a place that was only more than 100 meters away......

Huang Shuling saw that the wind in front of him stood for a long time, and the wind that was still not leaving, asked:

"Why are you standing, but walking?"

Qifeng frowned, stretched out his hand and knocked forward, making a dull sound, like ironclad metal, but there was nothing in front of him, why is this?

Qifeng took a step forward, this time he was bounced back, and he was supported by Huang Shuling to stand firmly, the air in front of him blocked the way like an invisible wall, and Suovia's words appeared in Qifeng's ears, "If you leave Sovia City, I will let you go." Thinking of this, the old man blushed, and mocked along the way that if he really couldn't get out, wouldn't he be disgraced, so he used all his strength and rushed forward.

'Bang. ’

The ground trembled, and when the wind rose, he felt dizzy and flew upside down, and when he got up from the ground, his face was full of incredulity:

"This ...... What's going on?"

Huang Shuling witnessed this scene with his own eyes on the side, dumbfounded, stretched out his jade hand and touched it forward, sure enough, it was a transparent wall, he didn't think about it, he picked up the full moon and left the fire wheel, went down to the top, and lifted it, a long flame burned, but it was like a stroke on the air, and it didn't make any waves.

Huang Shuling approached, the 'wall' was still there, and he tried various methods but still couldn't get over, and he couldn't figure it out:

"What the hell is going on. ”

The wind that got up from the ground, rubbed his head, saw a few cows and a cowherd baby not far away, ran over, and inquired about the cowherd baby from a nearby village, and it turned out that it was the same as the wind thought, the cowherd baby could come and go freely, only the two of them were blocked and couldn't get out.

The wind was slightly angry, and he turned around and walked back:

"She must have done something. ”

When he came back, the old man was still sitting on the shore, a bag of cigarettes had just burned out, and when he saw the two of them coming back, he seemed to know about it, and smiled:

"Hehe, let's go, let's get on the boat!"

The wind did not rush to get on board:

"Old boatman, how do you know that the two of us can't get out?"

The old boatman, brushing his beard:

"Today is the first day of the ninth month, from August 25th to September 15th every year, you can't go out during this period, this is Sovia's sacrifice day, sacrifice to the drowned ancestors for generations, until September 15, the sky and the earth are open, the sun is shining, the sacrifice is over, and those who stay in Sovia can leave. ”

Only then did the wind understand:

"So you already knew, old boatman, aren't you cheating on our money?"

The old captain got on board and untied the cables:

"Tsk, the old man is 68 this year, he has been berthing here for more than 50 years, he has seen more people than you eat more salt, all kinds of people, countless, today I see the two of you in a hurry, I want to leave in a hurry, I am old, I am young, how can I not do the business of finding the door, and besides, I will pull you ashore, we have three nos,' Don't inquire, don't talk much, don't be greedy, 'so I will pull you wherever you want, and I won't overcharge this money, besides, if you don't see it with your own eyes today, how can you believe what the old man says that he can't get out!"

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that you would be blocked and couldn't leave, so I got on the boat.

Got on the old boatman's fishing boat, all the way to Weiya City, this time it was different from when he came, the wind tried to get close to the old boatman, and wanted to get some clues, because he didn't understand what force made him trapped here, but the old boatman had his own 'three no' principles, and he didn't mention a word.

The wind still does not give up:

"Old boatman, I listen to your accent, I don't look like a local, where is my hometown?"

The old boatman still rowed on his own.

The wind is blowing again:

"I listen to you, you are 68 years old this year, I see that you are in your early fifties at most, how can you maintain it so well!"

The old boatman remained silent, rowing smoothly.

As soon as the wind blew and had no choice but to return to the cabin, as soon as he entered the door, the ship began to shake violently, only to hear a clatter, as if it had hit something, and for a time the ship stopped.

Seeing that Huang Shuling, who was asleep, was awakened, he comforted him:

"It's okay, I'll go out and have a look. ”

When the wind came to the edge of the hull, I saw the sound of fluttering and fluttering in the water, blisters, white flowers, and a group of fish.

At this time, the old boatman came over, picked up the pole and plunged into the water, and in a short time a piggy slowly floated out. Looking at the pig cage with a fixed look, the corpse was not a child, the face was soaked and tattered, the group of fish was competing for food on it, and it could be seen that there were white bones left in the place where they had eaten, and it was obvious that the group of fish was fighting for the corpse before crashing into the fishing boat.

The old boatman took the pig cage out with a bamboo pole and said:

"At the time of the sacrifice, a child of eleven or twelve years old was thrown into the lake, and the lord of the lake was satisfied, and he could open the door to the outside world, and every day for twenty-one days there should be a child of this age, put it in a pig cage, pull it into the lake, tie it with stones, and finally sink to the bottom of the lake, and this pig cage floated up, and it seemed that the rope that tied the stones was broken, and these fish came out before they grabbed food, and hit the boat, so let's go. ”

The wind listened to the straight frown:

"Human sacrifice?"

This time, the old boatman, answering the words of the wind, seemed to be accustomed to it:

"Yes, the sacrifice of the living, only after the sacrifice has been made, you can go out, okay let's continue on our way. ”

The wind looked at the white belly of the fish floating on the lake, competing for food, and couldn't help but clench his fists.
