Chapter 528: God's Will
"Come, Tianxiang, kneel down for the little girl." The man named Nian Bo was dressed in gray linen, with a turban of the same color tied around his head, and a small beard, and his hair was over half a hundred.
"Little sister." The girl called Tianxiang knelt down for Xiaomeng: "The day after tomorrow is the annual witch festival, the patriarch means, take me to sacrifice to the sky, little sister, I have been dependent on my grandfather since I was a child, if I die, what will my grandfather do?" I don't want to die, and I don't want to leave my grandfather, so I beg the little sister and the third brother to save me. Tianxiang knelt down for Xiaomeng and Su Yuzhe as she spoke, and kowtowed three times.
The little girl was very sincere, she knocked very hard, and when she got up, her forehead was bruised, and there were signs of bleeding.
Xiaomeng uses a small one here, and Su Yuzhe only asks everyone to call him the third brother.
said that he was the third in the family, and his parents named him the third brother.
Xiaomeng also laughed at him for a few days, saying that he took advantage of everyone.
Su Yuzhe was noncommittal.
Although Nanzhu is far away, it is also the land of the Great Su Dynasty, and the king of Nanzhuang has to pay tribute to the Great Su Dynasty twice a year to show his loyalty.
"Tianxiang, what are you doing here, get up quickly."
In the tribe here, the people who are more familiar with them are Uncle Nian's grandsons.
"Xiaoxiao, you must save Tianxiang, Tianxiang's father and mother left early, leaving our grandchildren to depend on each other, if Tianxiang dies, I won't be able to live." Uncle Nian said with tears in his eyes.
"Uncle Nian, don't worry, you told me about it right now, I naturally can't ignore it, but this witch festival, I don't know very well, and I want you to talk about it in detail." I didn't expect that the situation of taking human sacrifices really appeared.
In the south, all kinds of wild beasts and birds are raging, and rare and exotic grasses are rampant.
The people here are almost isolated from the outside world and live a self-sufficient hunting life.
They believe in mythical beasts and witch gods.
Each tribe will have a shrine maiden, second only to the patriarch.
There is a goddess in the Nanzhuang royal family, who is actually a witch, but the name is more beautiful.
The day after tomorrow is the annual Nanstiff Witch Festival, according to the regulations, every three years to select a girl from the clan who is not more than thirteen years old to send to the sacrifice, begging God to bless the Nanzhuang, God bless the tribesmen can live a long and healthy life.
After Xiaomeng listened, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was in a dilemma.
It's hard to manage.
"Little sister, third brother, I really don't want to die, I don't want to leave my grandfather, please save me." Tianxiang cried loudly as she spoke.
Tian Xiang was very cute, wrapped in a colorful headscarf, revealing her small round face.
"Tianxiang, God chose you, you should feel lucky, you want to run away." As he spoke, a middle-aged man with a magic stick in his hand came over with a group of men who were only half-clothed, his face full of anger.
In his opinion, Tianxiang didn't want to be sacrificed, he was blaspheming the gods, and he was joking with all the lives that had fallen.
Looking at the people on the other side, Tianxiang stood up suddenly, cautiously, her eyes full of terror, and looked at them.
Nian Bo looked at them, and his expression became nervous.
The person who came was none other than the patriarch of the Divine Bird Tribe, Ula.
Xiao Meng looked at each other and gestured slightly.
"Little girl, third son, this is our tribe's own business, please don't care, if you have to take care of it, don't blame our Divine Bird Tribe for not being able to tolerate you." These two outsiders, who settled here, still want to take care of the internal affairs of their clan.
How can it be.
"Patriarch, I'll kneel down for you, please let Tianxiang go, I only have Tianxiang as a child." Nian Bo suddenly knelt down towards Ulla.
"Uncle Nian, it's not that we are unreasonable, this is once every three years, and the selection of Tianxiang is also God's will, God's will cannot be changed, you still die of this heart as soon as possible."
Tianxiang is a person appointed by God to sacrifice, and if you are willing, you have to be willing, and if you are not willing, you have to be willing.
"They brought it back and kept it under strict guard." Ula waved his hand, and immediately two strong men came up, pulling Tianxiang and pulling out.
"Tianxiang, Tianxiang."
"Grandpa, save me, grandpa, save me, I don't want to leave you." Tianxiang cried violently, and the cry echoed in Xiaomeng's ears, making Xiaomeng's heart shrink suddenly.
There is no information here, and everything is up to God's will.
If you want to save the heavenly incense, it must also be God's will.
Xiao Meng looked at Tianxiang's grief-stricken appearance and felt pity.
Yes, pity.
This feeling was something she didn't have in her previous life.
In her previous life, she only knew that those who stood in her way, and she had to get rid of them, causing her to be finally eliminated by others.
She remembered that there was one thing, there was also a little girl, who was sold to an erotic place below her, she was unwilling, crying so much that she wanted to die.
She watched her cry and didn't feel it at all.
Just said that it would make people good and trained, and left.
Later, I heard that the girl died, jumped off the building and died, and the death was tragic.
She didn't feel anything at the time, and she felt that the other party was really delicate, and she didn't even understand the truth that it was better to die than to live.
Reliving her life, she found that her feelings seemed to have become richer, there were people who wanted to protect, and there were people who wanted to protect.
This kind of life can be regarded as perfect.
"Tianxiang, Tianxiang." Nian Bo chased after him with trembling legs.
That look, Xiaomeng is very poignant to watch.
She leaned her head slightly against Su Yuzhe's body, her thoughts far away.
"Daughter-in-law, are you trying to save them?" Su Yuzhe looked at her appearance, saw a feeling of pity on her face, and asked.
"I just think this way of sacrificing is a little cruel." Compared with killing people openly, this way of killing is the most helpless.
"It's a local custom and we can't change it." Su Yuzhe believes that they are not suitable to make a move.
"I know." Xiaomeng didn't understand.
"Let's go, let's go back." It's one thing to not be able to change it, it's another thing to be able to do it.
When the two returned to their courtyard, Cheng An had already set the meal on the table.
The life of the Nanzhuang people is hard, but the life they live is not bitter at all, and they still want meat and meat and vegetarian elements.
"Childe, I have already replied, saying that they should prepare well."
Su Yuzhe nodded.
This night, the two of them didn't know what to do in the room, and they fell asleep very late.
Su Yuzhe looked at the things she was playing with and was a little skeptical: "Is this thing really useful?" ”
"Nature is useful."
What she wants to do is nothing else, it is Shenhuo.
They believe in God, and naturally have an inexplicable fear of divine fire.
"And how are you going to get people away?"
"You'll know that day." It's still a secret.
Of course, the rescued Tianxiang Ye and the two naturally can't continue to live here, they have to go somewhere else to survive.
If Uncle Nian wants to, she will try, if he wants to, she can't do anything.
