The little civet cat choked and said, "Then Brother Mo, can't we avenge our mother-in-law?" ”

Mo Shaozhi touched her head: "Disputes between the rivers and lakes are inevitable, and my mother-in-law's intention is to let us avoid their disputes, so she hurried us away." ”

The three of them buried their mother-in-law and her chickens alive in this small courtyard.

Mo Shaozhi took out the beaded curtain she had worn and hung it on her grave.

Gao Lan was finally fully awake, and after a while, she regained her spirits, stretched her waist, and went to worship Granny Wu.

Looking at this originally calm small courtyard, I was full of emotion.

In a trance, she suddenly remembered something: "In the early hours of the morning, I saw Granny Wu open the door and come to the yard. There seemed to be a man standing in the courtyard, dressed in white, with hair like a waterfall, and I only vaguely saw a back, and that back seemed to be very familiar......"

The little tanuki was dazed: "Who could it be?" Xuejiazhuang's? ”

Gao Lan shook his head, and then continued: "That back...... I think I've seen it before, but I'm not sure if it's a person because I'm confused at the time. ”

"You've seen it?" Mo Shaozhi asked.

Gao Lan nodded: "Before, when we went to the jewelry store and met Liao Wan, a son with a jade mask once persuaded Liao Wan, but I didn't listen to him at the time, now I think about it, hey, it's my fault." ”

Bai Qingqing asked, "Jade-faced boy?" ”

Gao Lan nodded: "Well, you also praise me for my beautiful fan." ”

Mo Shaozhi couldn't help but chatter: "Well, no matter who he is, in the future, strangers, senior brother, it's better to be on guard, you have no experience in the rivers and lakes after all." ”

"Yes, after many lessons, I will try to stay by Brother Mo's side in the future." Gao Lan shook his hands.

Mo Shaozhi continued: "Why didn't Senior Brother choose a weapon for self-defense? ”

Gao Lan waved his hand: "No need, I don't like to fight and kill, if you have a weapon, you will inevitably hurt people, just take this fan, and point it until you finish." ”

"But there will always be people who don't stop with you." Mo Shaozhi said worriedly.

Thinking of Hong Si, who had accidentally killed him in the palm of his hand before, Gao Lan smiled lightly: "Then it can only mean that the person is unlucky,"

Mo Shaozhi was puzzled: "Huh? ”

Gao Lan hurriedly said: "It's only that I'm unlucky, but it should be okay, by Brother Mo's side, no one can hurt me, and even if there is Doctor Mo injured, I'm not afraid." ”

Mo Shaozhi's heart warmed: "Yes, then I will try my best to protect my brother." ”

According to the map, the four of them came to a desolate village, overgrown with weeds.

They dismounted.

There was an old man herding cattle in front of him.

"Old man, is there Heiniupo Village in front?" Bai Qingqing asked.

The old man hurriedly shook his head: "What black and white cows, there are no cattle for a long time, I advise you to stay away from there and bypass this mountain." After saying that, he shook his head and left.

"Why does he have to let us go long when there is a shortcut?" The little tanuki scratched his cheeks.

"We are all people who know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer tigers in the mountains, as long as we don't be tigresses," Bai Qingqing said lightly, and everyone laughed with him.

As he spoke, he continued to walk towards the Black Bull Slope.

Walking into the village, an eerie feeling instantly hits...... There are broken walls everywhere, and there are no people in sight.

Gao Lanhu was suspicious: "This is obviously a village, but what about the people in the whole village." ”

The little tanuki suddenly beckoned from a distance: "Come on,"

They then ran over.

A circular building appeared in front of them.

To put it more rigorously, it is actually an oval barrier, around a circle, ten feet high, and there are stairs from the outside to walk up.

Several people walked up the steps to a circle of platforms around the oval rampart, which seemed to be designed for people to stand on.

Stand still, and look inside, and below is an oval-shaped flat ground circled by this barrier, which seems to be a special platform for standing here to watch some kind of performance.

Standing on the platform below, no matter whether it is a person or an animal, it is impossible to climb such a high barrier.

"What the hell is this for?" Bai Qingqing said strangely, "Why don't you go down and take a look?" ”

The little tanuki hurriedly retreated: "I always feel that there is a smell of blood here, which is gloomy." Let's get out before it gets dark, it's so mad. ”

"It's obvious that you called us over, why did you back down." Bai Qingqing hurriedly grabbed her neckline.

Mo Shaozhi's face turned pale and said, "The little civet cat's nose is really as sharp as a cat, and I also smell a faint smell of blood." ”

The little civet cat suddenly seemed to meet a bosom friend: "Take a look, I'll just say that there is an ominous feeling here, Brother Mo, let's go quickly, let Bai Qingqing be here by himself." ”

When she finished speaking, she saw that Mo Shaozhi had no intention of leaving.

Gao Lan was also looking around, she always felt that this environment had a sense of déjà vu.

After a while, she patted her head: yes, the Colosseum, she had seen its introduction in a travel book before.

So he turned to them and said, "I think this should be a Colosseum, that is, people are thrown down to duel with beasts, or people to duel with people, and the people who are put into it have no other way out, either win or die......"

"Ahh How do you know? Bai Qingqing was surprised.

"I ......," Gao Lan suddenly didn't know how to say, "I saw it in a book." ”

Mo Shaozhi said: "Brother Gao is right, there is a fight of life and death, so there will be a faint smell of blood here, and someone must have cleaned up this place afterwards." ”

"Man and beast...... There is such a cruel duel in this world. The little tanuki smacked his tongue.

Gao Lan said: "I saw that the Colosseum written in the book was all about training some slaves to participate in the fight for the entertainment of the nobles. The gladiators who participate in it have to fight a beast until one side dies, and there are also fights between people, you name whoever you want, as long as you have enough money, someone will help you throw him down, and you can stand in the stands and savor his slow death. And in order not to let him die so quickly, this platform is generally set to an oval shape, which prolongs the viewing time to achieve the best entertainment experience, and will not be forced to the end of the dead end all at once, because they all want to see the prey being played with, being torn apart a little bit, and what is there to see if you swallow it in one bite. ”

The little tanuki smacked his tongue again: "I see, it's really cruel." ”

Bai Qingqing was suspicious: "Since there is still the smell of blood, it means that there has been a duel recently, so why is the entire village so deserted." ”

Mo Shaozhi looked at it: "I can't figure it out either, what happened in this village?" Looking at its scale, how can it be so silent and dilapidated......"

After pondering in the village for a while, several people slowly left the village while the sky was still light.
