As soon as Liu Jiale entered the village, he kept holding Li Lin's hand, and he didn't dare to let go.

Liang Jun and Han Li kept a delicate distance.

Because Li Lin and Uncle Zhao talked a lot the day before, they quickly found Uncle Zhao's house, which was a very dilapidated earthen house, and there were faded door gods and couplets pasted at the door.

Liu Jiale shrank next to Li Lin, remembered something, and suddenly said, "That's right...... Is the temperature here cooler than in the desert? I always feel cold......"

Liang Jun said lazily: "You just found out." ”

Liu Jiale felt even more uncomfortable, "This village is not normal. ”

Li Lin said, "Don't think about it, if you want to leave, you have to have a direction, let's ask Uncle Zhao what happened to that ceremony first." ”

Li Lin knocked on the door.

Uncle Zhao quickly came out and opened the door, and when he saw a few people, he was stunned, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Li Lin tried to pull out a friendly smile, "We're looking for you, Uncle Zhao, didn't we meet yesterday?" ”

Uncle Zhao looked at the strangers from head to toe with a look on his face, "I haven't seen you." ”

Several people were stunned, but soon, Li Lin laughed again, "We just met yesterday, Uncle Zhao, think about it again......"

Liang Jun didn't want to dwell on this question, so he got up, "Uncle Zhao, that's the case, do you have a daughter?" ”

Uncle Zhao's complexion changed suddenly, and he turned a little pale, "...... Are you friends with the warbler? ”

Liang Jun asked again: "Are you Zhao Cheng?" ”

Zhao Cheng's attitude softened and let a few people into the house.

The earthen house is dirty, the house is also old, it is black, several people sit on the kang, Zhao Cheng sits on a small pony on the ground, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Liang Jun and Han Li glanced at each other, picked up the most critical question and asked Zhao Cheng first, "We want to know something about that demon subduing ceremony." ”

Zhao Cheng raised his eyes to look at her, "There's nothing to say, there will be a ceremony in nine days, and she'd better make a sacrifice at the end of the day." ”

Liang Jun didn't understand, Li Lin interjected: "Isn't she all ......"

Zhao Cheng was stunned, "What is already?" ”

Li Lin's mind was a little confused, and he didn't continue, Zhao Cheng said: "Isn't she already locked up in the water prison and waiting for the ceremony, what else can she poke out?" ”

At this moment, several people looked confused.

Han Li's voice sounded in a deep voice, "Uncle Zhao, what do you mean, Zhao Yingying is still alive?" ”

"Of course she's alive, she's been locked up in a water dungeon before the ceremony."

Zhao Cheng lowered his head and sighed.

Liang Jun and his entourage were completely confused.

Wasn't Zhao Yingying torn apart last night?

How is it still alive?

Liang Jun quickly sorted it out in his mind, and then remembered what Zhao Yingying said last night, and asked again, "Then Uncle Zhao, nine days after the next ceremony, the sacrifice is Zhao Yingying, right?" ”

Zhao Cheng nodded and did not speak.

Liang Jun's back was cold.

Zhao Yingying, who was sacrificed last night, did not die, but nine days later, she will continue to be sent to the altar as a sacrifice.

Liu Jiale was even more scared, "No, she was obviously ...... last night"

Liu Jiale didn't finish speaking, she glanced at Liang Jun, she frowned and lowered her head aggrievedly, and Li Lin reluctantly held her in his arms.

They were confused Zhao Cheng was also confused, Zhao Cheng said: "What's wrong with her, she can't escape from the water prison, isn't she still dead and ran out?" ”

Liang Jun frowned, "Uncle Zhao, that ceremony is so terrible, you can't bear to let Yingying go?" ”

"She has been designated as a sacrifice, no one can do anything about this," Zhao Cheng's voice was a little quieter, "I want to open up, this is for the village to dedicate herself, if it weren't for the sacrifice of this generation, Nanjia Village would not be today, this is her blessing." ”

Zhao Cheng's attitude made Liang Jun feel creepy, and she didn't dare to imagine that this was actually Zhao Yingying's father, so she asked again: "How did you choose the sacrifice?" ”

Zhao Cheng said: "It was chosen by the eye of the spring, we have no right, since we chose her, then she must go." ”

Liang Jun asked, "Where is the water prison?" ”

"The west side of the spring," Zhao Cheng stared at Liang Jun and paused, "Don't think about saving her, no one can leave the water prison with sacrifices." ”

Before leaving, Liang Jun thought about it, but still asked more, "Uncle Zhao, Yingying is very scared...... Isn't there another way? That ritual was so cruel......"

Zhao Cheng's attitude was indifferent, "This is her life." ”

Several people left Zhao Cheng's house, and Liu Jiale said that he was unwilling to continue to stay in the village, so the group turned back in the direction of the car.

Liang Jun thought as he walked.

Zhao Cheng didn't recognize them, and he didn't remember that Zhao Yingying had been sacrificed, that is, there was no memory of the first day.

Zhao Yingying shouted last night, asking them to find Zhao Cheng before the next time......

Next time.

She hurried a few steps to catch up with Han Li, "Zhao Yingying said that it will be before the next time, Zhao Cheng said that the ceremony will be held after nine days, and the next time Zhao Yingying said will be the ceremony after nine days?" ”

Han Li didn't stop, and continued to move forward, "Maybe." ”

Han Li's legs were long and his steps were big, and Liang Jun struggled to follow, "That is to say, Zhao Yingying herself actually knows, she couldn't die last night, and then she will continue to sacrifice ten days later?" ”

Han Li continued to reply to her with two words, "Possibly." ”

"......" Liang Jun was very dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude, and pulled the corner of his clothes, "You can be serious, we have to discuss what to do." ”

Han Li paused and glared into her face, "Let's? ”

Liang Jun tugged at the corners of his lips, "You're not happy and there's no other way now, you see-"

She pointed at Liu Jiale and Li Lin in front of her with her eyes, "Liu Jiale basically can't count on it, Li Lin wants to revolve around her again, and even the village is unwilling to enter, if you don't cooperate with me, how can you find a way." ”

Han Li didn't have any expression, "It's not a drag on you." ”

Liang Jun fried his hair and let go of the corner of his clothes, "Hmph, I'm not happy to take you yet!" ”

……

Since he knew that Zhao Yingying was not dead, Liu Jiale was even more afraid of the village.

After all, it is too unbelievable that the people who watched it fall apart last night are still alive in the village today.

As a result, although Li Lin repeatedly comforted her and told her to rest, she still couldn't fall asleep at noon, and she couldn't even eat.

The other three ate compressed biscuits with mineral water to deal with lunch, which made Liang Jun worried.

Keep staying, not even the compressed biscuits are gone.

Liu Jiale made up her mind that she would not enter the village, Li Lin wanted to accompany her, Liang Jun was unwilling to sit still, and took a nap in the car for a while before cleaning up and going to the village, when he found that Han Li was gone, he asked Li Lin, and Li Lin said that he had gone to the village.

Liang Jun burst into foul language in her heart, this place was already very unsafe, as Li Lin said, in fact, it was safest for several people to be together, and she couldn't ask too much of Liu Jiale and Li Lin, but Han Li was ......

It's clear that she has a plan, an idea and a guts, but she's not willing to act with her.

If you don't go together, you won't be together, who is willing to follow him, and she will run away without saying a word when she sleeps!

She thought, there was a lot of anger.

The goal was clear, and it didn't take long for her to arrive at the spring.

The altar has been restored to its original state, and there is no trace of yesterday.

She didn't see the end of the ceremony, and she didn't know what the steps were after Zhao Yingying was split, the spring was still covered with a layer of white cloth, and there were two circles around the stones, and she noticed that there were some totems on several stone pillars.

She squinted for a few minutes, couldn't see clearly, and stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look, and by the way, uncover the white cloth to see what was underneath.

Before he could get to the front, a deep and mellow male voice came from his ears.

"I suggest you don't go over."

She paused, looked back irritably, her eyes fell on the other person's face, and smiled, "What's the matter, can't you see?" ”

"Well," Han Limo tugged at the glove in his left hand, "I just inquired with the villagers, what is under the spring, the eye of the spring, is sacrosanct, and trying to see the eye of the spring is a big taboo. ”

Liang Jun had already stepped on a circle of stones outside with one foot, and sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid?" ”

Han Li's eyes were heavy as he stared at her, "No, but you just walked over in broad daylight to see, being seen by the villagers would cause a lot of trouble, in case they regarded you as an enemy, Li Lin and I might suffer from you, and to be honest, if they really took you as a sacrifice because of this, I didn't want to waste my time saving you." ”

The corners of Liang Jun's eyes twitched, "I didn't expect you to save it!" ”

Han Li glanced in the direction of the spring, then glanced at it again, in broad daylight, there was a gust of wind here, and there were occasional villagers who were busy with farm work in the distance.

"That's right, you go, I also want to know how the villagers will react if someone sees it."

“……”

Liang Jun's mouth bulged and his feet retracted, "You treat me as stupid, so I don't want to explore your way." ”

The corners of Han Li's lips hooked slightly, "You should stay in the car obediently, it's dangerous to act alone now." ”

Liang Jun walked over directly, rubbed shoulders with him, and hit him hard, "I don't know how to write obedient words, you bite me." ”

That posture was extremely arrogant, Han Li turned to follow her footsteps, and said in a deep voice, "I have found the entrance to the water prison, but it is not easy to enter. ”

Liang Jun slowed down, and Han Li took the lead.

The fountain has an altar there, so it is very open, and the water dungeon is much more hidden, deep in the woods.

When he came to the front, Liang Jun understood what the so-called "difficult to enter" was.

The water prison is underground, and the entrance is blocked by a large stone.

The stone was too big and too heavy, so Liang Jun pushed it tentatively first and gasped.

Han Li said, "You don't have to worry too much about being seen by the villagers when you enter here, if Li Lin comes over, the two of us should be able to try to push it." ”

Liang Jun rolled up his sleeves, "Look at Liu Jiale like that, do you think you can bring people here?" ”

Not to mention, there is still the Zhao Yingying who is said to be dead in this water prison.

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly, Liang Jun had already lowered his body, pushed the stone in his hand, prepared his posture, and motioned towards his head.

"Come on, try it first."

Han Li was disdainful, "Just you?" ”

Liang Jun gritted his teeth, this sullen man didn't know when he started, exposing his true nature in front of her, and now he was not polite or disguised at all.

"You don't have a dog and look at people low, how can you know if you don't try."

She wore her hair in a casual ponytail today, and wore booties, tight jeans, and a black jacket, and in this position, the line from her hips to her waist was a soft and wonderful arc, and she looked up at him, and he hesitated for a few seconds before he walked over, bent down and pressed his hands against the stone.

She counted.

"Three, two, one."
