The time of the Holy Sacrifice is near.

The auspicious clouds that usually surround the Holy Mountain were deposited down, enveloping the entire Holy City, spreading to the surrounding areas farther away.

For the desert people who have lived here for generations, the rare coolness under the clouds, and the heavy rain that will soon be moistened like the nectar of the fairy rain, is what they crave the most, which is a gift from the gods of heaven.

The heavy dark clouds may indicate the success of the Holy Sacrifice, and the radiance of the sacred tree will be brighter and brighter than ever.

The holy city has long been crowded.

But there is still a steady stream of people entering every day, as if they want to push the limits of what it can accommodate. The only fly in the ointment is that many children have disappeared inexplicably recently, which has caused panic among the residents of the city, and all kinds of gossip are full of streets and alleys.

Families with children have long been grounded for their children, but it is still not possible to reduce the continuous occurrence of this situation.

The Holy City City Lord's Mansion has been troubled by those who have lost their children, and I don't know how many times.

But where is this little thing more important than the coming holy sacrifice?

Recently, there have been too many people pouring into the holy city, and they have been unable to even maintain a good daily order, and they are just casually perfunctory about this kind of loss of children, and they don't care much about it.

But there are always people who are particularly concerned about this, and they have been staring at it closely and refusing to let go.

In the deepest hall of the Holy City City Lord's Mansion, a majestic and domineering middle-aged man stared at the young and lively girl who was about to leave in front of him, and shouted loudly, "You come back for me!" ”

Although the young and beautiful girl turned around, she made a grimace at the middle-aged man, and replied angrily: "No! Why don't you care about this? Hum! I'm going to bring these damned scoundrels to justice. ”

"Humph! Wait, my lord, my father! ”

The middle-aged man frowned, looked at the girl in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

A long time ago, he wanted to take his daughter away from this place.

But he didn't expect that she herself had sneaked back by herself, and after hearing the discussions in the city and seeing the crying and crying of the parents who had lost their children, he couldn't bear it, and questioned him, the lord of the city, as soon as he came back.

This high-ranking Holy City City Lord came to a remote and simple thatched wooden house alone, knocked on the door and asked, "Uncle Wu...... Uncle Wu......, are you there? ”

The wooden door didn't open, but an old hoarse voice came from inside, and said coldly and indifferently: "Lord City, is there anything to find the old man?" ”

The other party's tone was not good, but the Holy City City Lord didn't care, and said, "Is Uncle Wu still angry with me?" ”

Uncle Wu in the wooden house didn't have much respect for him, and replied, "I don't dare! Lord of the Holy City. ”

"Tell me what is the matter! It's nothing, you can't think of me, an old ghost. ”

The Holy City City Lord, a little embarrassed, smiled outside the wooden house and said, "Where." It's just that I've been too busy lately, and I forgot to say hello to your old man for a while. ”

Wu Bo seemed to be displeased, and said impatiently: "Tell me directly, who are these polite words for!" I don't believe it. ”

The city lord of the Holy City was no longer polite, and said directly: "Xiao Yuyan, come back today." At this time, I am tracking down a child who has been lost in the city for no reason, and I am afraid that she will be in danger, so I would like to ask you to keep her safe. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Wu's tone was much softer, and he said, "Oh......, Yuyu, I haven't seen her for a long time!" This kid is so much better than you. ”

"Naturally, I want to take care of her, this matter...... I said yes. ”

"However, I'm afraid that I don't know the weight of my hands, and I may be able to slaughter people if I am not careful."

The Holy City City Lord, who changed his previous peace, said in a cold voice: "Whoever dares to hurt my daughter, no matter who it is!" No mercy! ”

"What if it's the birdmen on the mountain?"

The Holy City City Lord's face did not change, and he replied majestically and coldly: "That's what it is. ”

Hearing this, Uncle Wu seemed to be a lot happier, and said with a smile: "Haha...... Haha...... it seems that I really didn't misunderstand you! ”

"Don't worry, as long as the old man and I still have a breath, I will never let anyone hurt Xiaoyu and lose a single hair!"

When the Holy City City Lord heard this, he was relieved and hurriedly thanked him, but was driven away by Uncle Wu.

……

……

The city lord's surname is Mo, and his daughter's name is Mo Yuyan.

At this time, she came to a family in the city, the same family that had lost her child not long ago.

There was no one at home, and they had all gone out to find someone by this time.

She pounced in the air, and after asking the neighbors left and right, she hurried to Tao Yuju.

The lost child was none other than Ah Fei.

At this time, it was already night, Tao Yu was inside, and Ah Fei's parents were crying, which attracted a lot of onlookers. They pointed at Tao Yuju's boss and gossiped coldly. And the boss of Tao Yuju had an earthy face at this time, and his left hand touching the money trembled slightly, wondering whether to give some money and settle the matter.

just turned his head and thought about it, his family lost his son, what did it matter to him, why did he ask him to pay this money?

Just when Tao Yuju's boss was still entangled, the two brothers Ye Bingyue and Berwen, who rushed to hear the news, happened to meet Mo Yuyan head-on.

Mo Yuyan and Ye Bingyue glanced at each other, not caring about them, and at the same time looked at Ah Fei's parents and Tao Yuju's boss.

In front of Tao Yuju's counter, Ah Fei's mother was crying hoarsely, and said with a sob: "Quickly return my son Ah Fei to me......"

"My son Ah Fei never returns late, I came to work with you early this morning, and I haven't come back yet, did you collude with those bandits and sell my son to them."

While blaming the pale boss Tao Yuju in front of the counter, she made a gesture to pounce on him, trying to pull him out.

Tao Yuju's boss couldn't help it at this time, and retorted angrily: "Okay, you shrew, your family lost your son, what do you care about me, and you wronged good people indiscriminately." ”

"If I have anything to do with those bandits, why should you be fooling around here like this?"

He didn't say this to Ah Fei's mother, but to those onlookers.

Hearing what he said, the onlookers also agreed in their hearts, thinking that it must be Ah Fei's mother, who was anxious to lose her son, so she ignored the nonsense and wanted to blackmail him.

At this time, there is a mainstream theory in the holy city about these strange and missing children, that is, they were captured by those wandering sand thieves and used as coolies.

Another rumor is that he was secretly captured by the divine servants on the holy mountain and fed to the sacred tree as fertilizer. It's just that this statement is too absurd, and everyone just thinks that those bandits with ill intentions deliberately slander the rumors released by the Holy Mountain, and no one will believe it.

Tao Yuju's boss was fed up with the gaze of everyone, and the long pain was better than the short pain, so he finally made up his mind, and said in a painful voice: "Ah Fei, he has also worked here for a while, his salary has not yet been settled, there is some money here, so it should be my compensation for him!" No one wants this to happen, so mourn the two of you. ”

Ah Fei's parents, who took the money from the reluctant boss, were still sad and wept, but after achieving most of their goals, the two of them walked through the crowd with their figures on their backs, and left Tao Yuju.

At this time, everyone realized that they were afraid that the boss would not honestly calculate Ah Fei's salary, and they would come here to make a fuss, no matter what they should have, no matter what, they would be indispensable, and they could take more. As for Ah Fei's whereabouts, there has been a lot of uproar in the city these days, and no one's child has been found alive, even if the parents are heartbroken, they don't dare to count on it.

In the bustling streets, Ah Fei's parents have colorless faces, floating under their feet in the crowded crowd of people.

"Two uncles and aunts, please wait a minute!"

Mo Yuyan stopped in front of them and said, "I am the City Lord's Mansion...... City Guards...... ......, huh...... The one in charge of tracking down the matter. ”

"I want to know something specific about you."

Hearing this, Ah Fei's mother hugged her and began to cry again, saying, "You must help us...... we are Ah Fei's son, how can we live without him!" ”

Ah Fei's mother cried sincerely, her old face was covered with shriveled layers of wrinkles, old tears were all over her face, and her face was full of sadness and bitterness.

Where had Mo Yuyan experienced this kind of battle, although he was reluctant to be approached, he was embarrassed to push away, so he had to stand in place in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ah Fei's father, although his face was sad, was still calm, pulled away from his wife and comforted her.

looked up at Mo Yuyan and said, "Little girl, it's not that I don't say it, although we also want Ah Fei to come back, but this matter is ......, alas, ......, let your family go to the adults to deal with it!" ”

"It's too dangerous for a girl of yours."

Ah Fei's mother wanted to say something, but was pulled away by her husband.

They left in a hurry, leaving Mo Yuyan alone in place.

The teacher was unfavorable, and I didn't get any news. But Mo Yuyan is not stupid, she can be regarded as having found a clue, Ah Fei's parents must know something, and they don't want to tell her.

Ah Fei's parents didn't leave for long, and they were stopped again, and this time it was Ye Bingyue, Berwyn, and Berwyn who stopped them.

Ye Bingyue spoke: "We are Ah Fei's friends in Tao Yuju, and we want to help you find Ah Fei's whereabouts together. ”

Ah Fei's father didn't wait for his wife to speak this time, and directly refused: "Thank you very much, but this is our own business, so I won't trouble you!" ”

After saying that, he pulled his wife away, without giving Ye Bingyue and them a chance to speak again.
