The night was extraordinarily long.

Gu Mianmian didn't sleep, she just sat there, accompanied by the moonlight, counting the time. When the sun re-illuminated the earth, the door that had been closed all night finally opened, and Aunt Li walked in with breakfast.

"Girl, have some breakfast." She put the food on the ground and got up to untie Gu Mianmian.

My arms were tied behind my back all night, from the pain at the beginning to the numbness at the end, and by the time I let go of the rope, I was unconscious. Gu Mianmian tried to raise her arm, but her hand trembled.

Seeing this, Aunt Li picked up the rice and fed it to Gu Mianmian.

Gu Mianmian originally wanted to be angry and not eat, but when she thought about it, she didn't have the strength to run away if she didn't eat, so she ate two bites hastily.

After Aunt Li finished feeding, she helped Gu Mianmian to stand up. She sat motionless all night, stood up suddenly, and staggered, if it wasn't for Aunt Li's support, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Are you ready?" Ah Si, who took Gu Mianmian back to the village yesterday, asked, and he was standing at the door, his back blocking the sunlight.

"Alright." Aunt Li helped the expressionless Gu Mianmian out of the door.

Outside, the weather was sunny and the wind was beautiful.

Gu Mianmian half-squinted her eyes, and she was exhausted by the sun.

Aunt Li took Gu Mianmian to bathe and change clothes first. In case she didn't cooperate, the village women also came to help, and several people pressed Gu Mianmian into a wooden barrel to wash and scrub it, put on a red wedding dress for her, and took her to the sacrificial beach.

The whole village of old and young gathered, all looking at her, some sympathized, some pitied her, and some showed jealousy for Aunt Li's sneering, but no one stepped forward to stop her.

"Now that you're ready, let's start the sacrificial ceremony." As soon as the village chief raised his hand, Gu Mianmian was pushed and sat on the raft by the people next to him, and all kinds of sacrifices were piled up beside him.

The raft was pushed into the sea, and the waves drifted down the current towards the middle of the sea.

The villagers knelt in prayer, their eyes glued to the raft.

The raft was not very tight, the sea water was surging up through the gaps, the skirt was soaked, and it was so heavy that Gu Mianmian pulled the fabric with both hands, gritted his teeth and tore the fabric apart with a hiss. Then she did the same, and quickly tore off the hem and wide sleeves of the cumbersome dress on her body, and forcibly tore the ancient costume into a modern costume.

Yesterday's night was not in vain, although she couldn't break free from the rope and escaped, but she also thought of a way to avoid being a sacrifice and sinking her body into the sea. Since she can't escape on the shore, and there is no one around the sea, she can swim again, so why not try to escape by jumping into the sea by herself? Even if the sea is turbulent, it's always an opportunity.

Seeing that the raft was some distance from the sea, Gu Mianmian took a deep breath and planned to jump into the sea.

Before he could jump, the raft suddenly shook violently, and the sacrifices scattered in all directions, and many of them fell into the sea. Gu Mianmian hurriedly grabbed one of the planks, and as soon as she sat down, she noticed that the sea level had suddenly risen, as if something was dragging the raft up.

Isn't there really a dragon god?

Gu Mianmian looked at the raft worriedly, and through the planks that gradually fell apart, she saw a huge head in the sea, looking at her directly! Looking at each other, Gu Mianmian gasped, what kind of dragon god is this! It's a monster at all!

The eyes are red, and the big ones are scary. He still has an ugly bag bulging out of his head, and the gray scales on his body emit cold light. It has a long mouth, its sharp and fine teeth reflect the cold light, and its unpleasant breath comes through the sea, which will make people faint, and what is even worse, this monster actually wants to swallow the raft and the sea water into its stomach!
