"This picture is a painting that records the life scenes of our ancestors, and I don't know who painted it, but it has been passed down from generation to generation." The old man walked to the painting: "This is the scene of the ancestors building a house, the resources at that time were very limited, and they were all made of local materials, so there were more wooden houses; Here is the scene of getting food, the male members will go to the depths of the forest to hunt game, and the women will pick wild fruits, look at this place, at that time they have already tried to grow crops; And here, is the scene of the birth of a new life, after the birth of each newborn, there will be elders in the clan to bless one by one, but now that our race is in decline, there are no elders in charge, alas...... Changed; Oh, and here, it's a celebration scene, whenever there is enough food, when the first snow of winter comes, there will be a celebration ceremony, one is to pray for good weather and enough food in the coming year, and the other is to pray for the health and safety of the people......"

Wang Qiu listened to the old man's introduction and felt very interesting, but his eyes still looked uncontrollably at the lower right corner, and in the interval between the old man's words, Wang Qiu finally couldn't help but point to the very dim place in the lower right corner and said, "Then what is this place doing?" ”

The old man looked closer and looked closer, a little embarrassed: "When you are old, your eyes are a little difficult to ......" said, and took out a pair of reading glasses from the pocket of his robe.

Well...... It is still a very fashionable gold wire round-rimmed glasses......

After looking at it for a long time, the old man wiped his glasses and said, "I don't know much about this, I guess, this is probably a sacrificial event a long time ago...... Because of the fault line of inheritance, many of our cultural customs have disappeared, and we can only know a thing or two through the remaining materials. ”

"Patriarch, I wonder if I can read the information about the sacrifice?" Wang Qiu looked at the square object on the painting that was about to push into the river, and remembered the iron cage that was salvaged from the river.

The old man put away his reading glasses and instructed the middle-aged man in front of him, "Go to the archives and look for it." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and immediately rushed to the archive room with two people.

"Thank you." Wang Qiu thanked the old man, but the old man looked flattered: "It's too polite, this lord, it's getting late, and I can't find the information for a while, if you don't dislike it, please stay overnight." ”

Wang Qiu looked at him and nodded: "It shouldn't be too much of a problem to stay overnight." ”

Wang Qiu had to thank the patriarch, and in the evening, the patriarch even summoned the clansmen to a banquet for Wang Qiu and Hu, which made them a little embarrassed, and Hum held the fruit wine brewed by the elves: "What is the origin of your friend, since you gave the old man a letterhead, our treatment has been better to heaven." ”

"To be honest, I don't know very much." Wang Qiu doesn't know much about etherealism, and it's very mysterious.

He drank two empty bottles of fruit wine, and was a little drunk: "It's really a clever elf who makes fruit wine so delicious." ”

"Let's drink less...... Wang Qiu took a sip of water and looked at him helplessly: "Don't forget, we still have a task." ”

Boo's cheeks were slightly red, and he nodded: "Don't worry!" I'm still drinking very well! Hiccup—"

"There are 6 clansmen in this clan in a row, I don't know if there will be an accident tonight, it's best to stay sober and adapt." Wang Qiu drank boiled water and looked around the audience, but did not get a response, and when he turned around, he found that he was drunk and unconscious with his face buried on the table......

"My lord, this friend of yours can really drink, our clan's specialty berry wine, the entrance is sweet and mellow, but the stamina is great, I'm afraid I will sleep until dawn after drinking so much!" The old man looked very excited, because he had drunk wine, and his face was flushed.

But Wang Qiu always felt a little uneasy, obviously the lights were brilliant, and he was obviously happy and peaceful......

"Ahh

The old man obviously realized that something was wrong, and his smile disappeared suddenly, and Wang Qiu grabbed the girl who had met before: "Help take care of my friend." ”

Then he went to the place of the incident with the young man, and when he arrived, he saw nothing but fruit and wine spilled on the ground......

The patriarch hurriedly came by someone and immediately said, "Chacha, who is missing." ”

Within a moment, someone reported: "Except for the three people who went to the archives, the second child of the Tianchang family is missing." ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly cried, it seemed that it was the victim's family, and the old man looked at Wang Qiu: "I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to entertain the adults well, but something like this happened in the clan......"

"The patriarch doesn't have to blame himself, this is not what you and I want." Wang Qiu squatted next to the tray that fell to the ground, and looked carefully with the help of some faint lights, and found that there were drag marks on the ground: "There are drag marks here." ”

Out of the crowd came a red-haired man with strong muscles: "We've looked for drag marks, and these drag marks will suddenly disappear. ”

"Where is the drag mark gone?"

The red-haired man pointed to the dark forest: "There is no fixed location, but they all disappear in that direction." ”

"I remember it was over there...... It's a stream full of blue pebbles......" Wang Qiu frowned, and what came to his mind was the picture scroll he saw during the day: "Could it be ...... Is it related to sacrifice? ”

"Al, you lead someone to chase after you." The old man was all awake at the moment: "Let's see if there are any other clues." ”

The red-haired man, that is, Al was ordered to chase after the people behind him, and he seemed to be a leader.

"My lord......" The old man's face was heavy: "There is a reluctant request." ”

"I'll stay and find out, but I don't know if I can help." Wang Qiu looked at the depths of the dark jungle.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much." ”

When I woke up, it was already the next day, and sure enough, as the old man said, I had to sleep until dawn. Wang Qiu told him about last night's incident, and he was a little crazy with a chicken nest on his head: "Ah...... How can I drink too much! People's hospitality with good wine and good food, this favor must be helped! ”

Boo relied on the unstable signal to send a message to Team Zhou, and Team Zhou quickly replied, basically meaning that they would keep themselves safe, and there seemed to be some progress on their side.

Because the signal is not good, it is just a few simple words, anyway, while ensuring his own safety, he agrees that they will take care of this matter, and he will send support to come as soon as possible.

Boo asked where the search team was and went to help. At noon, the middle-aged man found Wang Qiu with the information found in the archives: "This ...... Eh, my lord, this is the information that the patriarch ordered to find, if there is anything else, please tell me directly, I am the masons of the clan Mei Jin. ”
