The conversation behind my ears continued.

"The elder is even more pitiful, who wants his daughter to be a sacrifice."

"The five-year-old girl was chosen as a sacrifice and then continued to cultivate for ten years, just to be a sacrifice."

"Every ten years, one girl dies and another girl is chosen for the ceremony ten years later."

"Can't you think of any other way?"

"Maybe everyone has just been maintaining stability, and then they are just silently praying that bad luck will not befall their own homes."

"I heard that the daughter of the elder family is very good, and her cultivation talent is extremely high, but it's a pity!"

"Fortunately, the elder family also has a son, what's his name?"

"My son's name is Huaisu, my sister's name is Huaiyu, what a good pair of children, alas!"

"Huaisu, Huaiyu, but I'm Mo Li!" I muttered, my mind like mush. The young leaning next to me grabbed my hand, trying to soothe my trembling. "I don't understand, who is Huaiyu?" Shao Tian just looked at me silently, "What does it mean that a girl is going to die in ten years?" Is it me who is going to die? ”

"Why aren't you silent?"

"We've discussed this in the Jungle, but you've forgotten about it now. The way you are now, you should have been forced to practice premeditation later, and then you were devoured, and then you didn't remember anything. ”

"So, Mo Li knows. You know that too. ”

Shao leaned silently and nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me? You didn't know last time at the tavern, but I already said I don't remember anything when I was in the car! But you still didn't say anything. ”

"No, we've only met three times, I shouldn't trust you so much, and Huaisu, he's lying to me, you're all lying to me." I kept muttering to myself, saying that I wanted to pull out the hand that was held down by Shao Tian, and he increased his strength, and I also increased the volume, and fought back fiercely, his hand was frozen purple, and I withdrew my hand. I stood up, my whole body chilling, and the tips of my fingers oozed a hint of cold.

"Li'er, listen to me."

"Say no more!" I trembled, "Don't follow me!" With that, I ran out of the restaurant and rushed into the crowd, I didn't know the way, I just ran when I had a way. Finally I ran out of breath, I leaned against a big tree, the sky was no longer blue, it was beginning to dusk, there was no sunset, and the gray clouds were cold. When I stopped, I noticed that the temperature had plummeted.

I began to observe my surroundings, which was already much quieter, and there were no people coming. There is a waterway in the city, and there is a bridge not far in front of it, and it extends a little further and turns right, and I don't know the direction. Finely broken leaves fall on the stone road, fall on the creek, and the leaves drift with the river to unknown places. I walked along the river and didn't know where I was going. It was already getting dark, the buildings on the street were starting to light up with candles, the night of the city was beginning to light up, and there was a road on the right where passers-by could be seen walking around, and I turned in, and when it was over, I went out to the main street.

People are still coming and going, but there is no longer the feeling of surprise for half a day, and I am alone on a strange street, and I don't know where to go. I rubbed my cold hands together and looked out into the street, there were still only restaurants, taverns and inns, and I didn't have the seashell currency on me, so I couldn't find a place to rest.

The night here looked so cold, it seemed that I would be cold to death before I was bled to death, so I turned back to the river, sat down on the ground against an ashlar stone by the small bridge, took out my mobile phone, and played casually.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shao Tian actually followed from a distance, he looked at Mo Li wandering in the crowd of lost wanderers, watching Mo Li wandering melancholy by the water's edge, just silently, far away, he actually couldn't tell why he did this, this girl In fact, he had only seen it three times in total. The first time he accidentally broke into the maze, after breaking the formation and reaching the center, he naturally talked to the girl, he knew that the girl was a sacrifice, and the girl seemed to have begun to realize it recently, but he didn't see the fear in the girl, the girl wanted to save herself, so they didn't know why they discussed the matter of resentful ghosts. The two of them are like two netizens on the Internet, who met under a certain post, discussed it, and when it was over, they dispersed.

And Mo Li, who Shao Tian saw for the second time, gave him a feeling that was too different, too attractive to him, Mo Li's eyes flashed with curiosity about everything, and the way he smelled the wine in the tavern with his nose was so funny, he couldn't help but ask her to drink. And Mo Li's reflection is even more fun, looking at himself blankly, as if he has never seen himself.

It turned out that she had amnesia, and she forcibly practiced premeditation in order to save herself, so she didn't remember herself at all, but in this way, she was defenseless against him, and she had a sense of closeness. In fact, he liked this kind of Mo Li, and the words he said when he learned that she had lost her memory in the carriage were all serious, "There was always some sadness in your eyes before, but now what I see is bright and lively!" I can't bear to spoil this happiness! What to do?

Shao Tian followed all the way, and now he is also leaning on the tree on the riverbank, looking at Mo Li's back from afar and sighing.

"Knock knock, is it there? I'm feeling bad right now! ”

"Hi~ staff Christmas activities, you can leave a message, we will reply later!"

I CLICKED ON KERORO'S PROFILE PICTURE, AND THE INFORMATION IN IT WAS LIKE WECHAT, THERE WOULD BE A PHOTO ALBUM DISPLAY, AND WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE WAS A SHOP DECORATED WITH CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, AND A BOWL OF RICE BALLS.

12.25.08:30

'Merry Christmas~ This is arranged by our staff together, and there is a lucky draw, come on! ’

A convenience store lit up with the word 'convenience store' shining in the night, with snowflake stickers and elk stickers on the glass windows.

"Alas, they're having Christmas, and they're so happy!" I clicked on it and commented, 'I've thought about Christmas too, lolololol'

12.23.03:30

'Peanut glutinous rice balls are hot out of the pot, you can satisfy your wish of glutinous rice balls, you deserve it, happy winter solstice, everyone~ buy one get one free for all rice balls~'

The picture is a bowl of rice balls in a paper bowl, which is placed on the table next to the glass window, and I see the round rice balls, and I see the water vapor dyed upward, and the dim street lamp outside the window is magically blended. I'm still handing it out.

I sighed and caught a glimpse of the round moon reflected in the creek, the water swaying gently, the moon floating slightly, looking up at the sky, the bright moon in the blue-black night sky, a trace of clouds skimmed. In the distance, lanterns have been hung on the gorgeous eaves in the distance, and the lights are lit up in the house.

It's so miserable, I really want to post it on Moments, and then ask for comfort, thinking about it like this, I'm afraid that the night in front of me will shoot down. I TRIED TO SEND THE STATUS IN THAT APP, AND IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY SENT, BUT MAYBE ONLY THE OWNER KERORO COULD SEE IT!

'HELLO, IS ANYONE THERE?' Who is with me at this time! This is the accompanying text of the moonlit night light map.

THEN I CONTINUED TO LEAVE A MESSAGE TO KERORO:

"Have you ever heard of Panlong City? A city in the Shang Dynasty, very prosperous! ”

I sent a picture of the street taken during the day.

The evening breeze was blowing, my eyelids were heavy, I curled up a little, hugged myself a little, and closed my eyes gently, I was so sleepy. I went into a state of false sleep.

For a while, I felt something cover me, blocking the wind, like an overcoat, and then someone sat down beside me, and I leaned on the ashlar's head and gently fell to the man's shoulder, very broad shoulders, and felt very comfortable.

"Less leaning." I opened my mouth, but the other person didn't say anything.

"It all scared me, I was confused, I didn't know what was true or who I could trust. And I don't have any memory of you, I can't make any judgment. I stepped off his shoulder and looked up into his eyes

"Li'er."

"Shao Tilt, Huai Su told me the story of the resentful ghost using resentment to provoke people, and also said that although I was a sacrifice, it would not endanger life, which was the information I got after I lost my memory. And at the tavern, you told me about the power to destroy evil spirits, and you said that I asked you, although I don't remember, but I must have discussed something with you before I lost my memory! "Maybe Mo Li wanted to save himself at that time, so he would discuss something with Shao Tian, and also tried to practice premeditation to sense the results of this ritual, and I came to the scene in the process of premeditation, and then she disappeared, and I became her.

"Shaoting, what do those two people mean by what they said today, can you tell me what you know?"

"Li'er, in every place, there are rules that must be followed in the inheritance, maybe no one really knows the reason for continuing, but after a long time, people will believe that it must be done, otherwise there will be bad consequences. It's like the story of the ghosts, what Huaisu told you, and the version I was told, but almost all of them lost their lives as sacrifices, and people would think that they traded their lives for peace. So, this ceremony has been held all the time. ”

"Is that ghost real? Does it really exist? Is that story true? ”

"I've only heard that story, but I've been to the Seal Realm, and there's a strong resentment there. Those cultivating girls shed blood to cover up again and again. I also felt a strong sense of blood and sorrow. ”

"Isn't it cruel to treat people as sacrifices, and when a person dies, a successor must be chosen immediately?"

"Li'er, I can't give you an answer, because I don't have an answer either. What can we do to stop this? ”

"So I'm going to shed my blood and die? As a sacrifice of the times, a little girl who was chosen at the age of five, but those two people said that it was Huaisu's sister ---- Huaiyu who was chosen, and I am not Huaiyu, why, then why is it now that I am preparing for the ceremony, and I will make the sacrifice. ”

"I always thought it was Huaiyu, until I saw you in the maze that day, you said that you are Mo Li, the host of the next moon ceremony, and a sacrifice, and you are going to sacrifice yourself. And as for why you want to replace Huaiyu, you didn't tell me. ”

"Myself, sacrifice myself, how is this possible. Why should I die for someone else! ”

"You're just saying that you're not going to sit still."

"So, I, I asked you for help?"

"You just calmly discussed with me, and you didn't ask me to save you at that time."

"And then?"

"Later, I met you again, and it just so happened that I had some new insights, so I took the opportunity to talk to you."

"I see."

"But you don't remember anything. So you look curious and confused. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to forget."

"The moon stars are rare." Shao tilted the subject, and he looked at the moon in the attic in the distance.

"Black magpie flying south?" I subconsciously picked it up, because it was so smooth, this is an ancient poem that I used to memorize.

"Black magpie?" Shao tilted his head and looked at me with the soft light of the moon.

"EMMMM, no, I said it casually." And stopped my strong desire to recite, and spit out Zhou Gong, and the world returned to the heart, this Cao Cao's famous sentence was forcibly blocked in my throat.

"It's actually quite simple! As long as you don't go back, stay in Panlong City, and I can hide you well. At that time, the real Huaiyu will naturally appear. ”

"You want to save me?"

"Li'er, in the past, but the sacrifice was you or Huaiyu, for me, it was just a distant symbol, but now it's different."

"Huh?" I looked at him quizzically, his side face serious and focused in the moonlight.

"Now you're right in front of my eyes!" He lowered his head and looked at me seriously, we were already sitting very close, he leaned his head again, I began to feel my breathing a little faster, I tried to control myself, but I could clearly feel my heart pumping blood, filling my brain, my body, my face began to turn red, my ears were a little hot. I unconsciously lowered my head, not knowing what to do in response.

We breathed quietly, and slowly, my breathing eased, and there seemed to be a steady force calming me, like a calm stream of water, like a gentle air soothing me and quieting me. I felt my eyelids start to heal again, yawned unconsciously, and rested my head on his shoulder again.

It's strange, but I don't feel afraid, my body doesn't resist the force, I am awake but resting peacefully, this broad shoulder. At that time, I was thinking about whether Huaisu was deceiving me, the meaning of the passerby's words, the explanation made by Shao Tan, I wanted to connect everything, and my brows furrowed unconsciously.

"You're very tired today, take a rest for a while, take you to a place later, and make your own decision after reading it."

I didn't say anything, I took a deep breath, my brow loosened, and I moved my head to make myself more comfortable, and at the same time seemed to be closer and leaning less.

The evening breeze was cold, but I was wrapped in warmth and stability.
