The fourth child should be controlled by them, and I must behave steadily in order to gain their trust, so that I can go deep into their base camp and inquire about the location of the fourth child.

He nodded with satisfaction when he saw me so pampered, and when the two of us got downstairs, the young woman who had greeted me in the morning also nodded, and then smiled and said to me.

"I mean what I say, Lord Ceres, I will never refuse anyone who is willing to worship him."

I also nodded, then folded my hands and saluted, and greeted solemnly: "I am a servant of God, and my ancestors have believed in it, and the rest of my family has been taken away by God, and I am the only one left." ”

When the old man heard this, he was not only not surprised, but said with even more admiration: "Your family is truly a faithful servant of God, may God bless you with a prosperous life." ”

I felt a nod, and then the old man said to me without even hesitation, "There are few young people who are so willing to worship the gods, and in that case, I invite you into our temple, are you willing?" ”

I nodded excitedly, of course I do, that's what I'm here for, how could I miss it?

I pretended to be excited, and then followed him out into the house.

The people outside seemed to be asleep, except for a small night light on the windowsill at the door, illuminating the house number of each house.

Seeing me staring at the people and houses here in confusion, the old man was also very tolerant and said, "If you want, after passing the test of God, you can also stay here and live with us, and then we will be neighbors." ”

I nodded movingly, then bowed my head and joined him, walking towards the circle in the middle.

Since the houses in this village are all living in circles, layer by layer, like circles set together, we finally went around to the middle of the village

Inside is a temple that looks particularly solemn, using blue bricks and white tiles that are rare here, piled up one by one, which shows that a lot of labor of these villagers here has been wasted.

Looking at everything in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and then honestly followed the old man's movements, step by step towards the house,

As soon as I entered the gate, there were two bunches of rice at the door.

Then there is a huge statue, not a human statue, but a scarecrow, which does not look like something very valuable, and the straw inside seems to be both new and old, as if someone often adds some new straw to it.

I think it's a little scary to watch, after all, I've watched horror movies before, and I've already watched enough horror movies with corpses hidden in many scarecrows.

Then I smiled and asked the old man, "Didn't you give this lord a statue?" How can this be done? It's also too rudimentary. ”

Hearing my question, the old man lowered his head a little embarrassed, and then apologized in a low voice, saying, "It's because we are so poor, otherwise we would have made a statue for adults." ”

Hearing this, I just smiled and didn't say anything, but I didn't listen to what this old man said in my heart, he has been able to mobilize everyone to make such a temple, do you still care about the money for this statue?

But the old man quickly turned his head and led me to a room in the back.

In the room at the back, there were many things piled up in a disorderly manner, including unused rice grain, incense and candles, and so on, and even the most conspicuous thing was that in the southeast corner of the room, there was a huge bird, which looked the size of a golden eagle.

Looking at such a big giant bird, I couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in my heart, and I couldn't help but wonder if this could be the fourth?

But looking at the languishing appearance of the bird, I'm not sure, if it's the fourth, I'll probably really react when I see it, right?

Just when I was wondering and curious, the old man saw my gaze and said to me with a smile: "This is a toy of the gods, and after half a year, this thing will die naturally." ”

I thought I was embarrassed to ask directly, for fear that he would suspect my intentions, but he was the first to bring up the topic, and I echoed it a few more words, but there would be no problem.

So I smiled and looked at his stuff and asked, "What do you mean by that?" This bird looks big, it doesn't look like such a fragile thing, and the gods are full of compassion for us, how can they not have mercy on a bird? ”

The old man smiled mysteriously, then poured me a glass of water, and said indifferently: "The great gods will care for all things in the world, but not the greedy and dissatisfied, this is the one who wants to bully the existence of the gods, and he should be punished." ”

Listening to his words, I nodded, I had already guessed, this must be the fourth, I'm afraid the same is true of those scenes in my dreams, this should be the soul of the fourth, right?

I just don't know how he was able to stuff the soul of a living person into the body of a big bird, and that's what makes me the strangest.

But I couldn't ask, so I could only pretend to know a lot about these things, and it wasn't until about ten o'clock that he finally sighed, and then frowned and said to me unhappily.

"I tried to get the god to appear several times just now, but he still hasn't appeared, there is something else about today, you go back first, wait a few days, I will invite you to come over again,"

I nodded, then glanced at the big bird with some nostalgia, and decided to take the risk and go straight to the next step.

So I suddenly turned my head and said to him with a serious attitude: "I know that the adults must have their own means, but now there are already people outside looking for a missing village doctor, and I heard that he disappeared after coming to us. ”

The old man nodded, then looked at me suspiciously, and asked in wonder, "I didn't tell you anything, why do you think that an adult did this?" Adults don't like to worry about these mortals, don't think about it. ”

I then remembered the omission in what I had just said, and then smiled awkwardly and explained to him: "Don't worry, I don't know either, but I'm worried that they will come here to search and finally disturb the adults, after all, they are very strict now." ”

After hearing my words, he nodded with satisfaction, finally stopped talking, and then gave up his hand and let me leave here alone.
