The man looked at Shang Jingcheng and asked, "Are you from around here?" I don't think I've ever seen you before, and how did you end up in this area? ”

Shang Jingcheng pondered for a while before saying: "We went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, we didn't expect to get lost while walking, and we were thinking about resting for a night before walking, but we didn't expect to be here as soon as we woke up." ”

"So you also went up the mountain to collect medicine before you were caught......" The man sighed and said, "Once here, it's hard to get out." ”

"I want to ask this big brother, where is this? We were in the mountains, so how could these people have arrested us? Xie Chuyao couldn't help but ask when he saw this man's sad look.

The man looked at her and said, "Girl, this is in the deep mountains, but it is on the other side of the mountain, and here is a deep canyon from the mountain where you collect medicine, so I will say that it is difficult to get out." ”

Is that so? So they've been carrying them back here? Will they have walked from the Shaanxi Valley?

"Big brother, are you also from here? But you look a little different from them! Xie Chuyao took the opportunity to ask.

The man sighed and said, "I was also arrested like you, originally I was just a villager in Luoyang Village, my name is Da Niu." One day ten years ago, my mother was sick, I just wanted to go up the mountain to pick some herbs to make medicine for my mother, but I got lost in the mountains, and then I was arrested, and this stay is ten years. ”

Shang Jingcheng and Xie Chuyao glanced at each other, and then looked at him with some sympathy in their eyes, a person who has been locked up in a strange place for ten years is also a sad story.

The man knew that they sympathized with him, and he smiled wryly and said, "Actually, there is nothing bad about life here, and I also married a woman I like, she is very good to me, only occasionally I think of my mother." So saying, he glanced back at the woman, who smiled at her, and came to his side and looked at him and smiled.

When Shang Jingcheng saw this scene, he knew that they were very in love with each other, thinking that this big cow could actually be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"Then why did they bring us in? We do not interfere with the waters of the river with their wells. The light shadow asked with a puzzled expression.

Da Niu looked at them with a look of sympathy on his face and said, "You have been chosen. ”

"What do you mean? What was selected? Xie Chuyao's heart tightened when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked.

Da Niu just shook his head helplessly and said, "There is a living sacrifice event held here every year, and you are regarded as a sacrificial offering. ”

Shang Jingcheng frowned directly when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief: "Is it a living sacrifice?" ”

Da Niu nodded and said, "You have been chosen, and you can't escape." As he spoke, with a terror on his face, he remembered his own situation, and if it had not been for his wife speaking for him, he would have been burned as an offering.

Xie Chuyao also looked at him in disbelief, feeling that this thing was too unreal, they were living people, and they were sacrificed like animals?

The woman standing beside the big cow smiled wickedly at them, and pulled him back to the old man.

Da Niu asked for the information and told the old man, and the old man looked at them with a weird smile, and then didn't know what to say to the people behind him, so he retreated directly.

The others looked at them and retreated.

Shang Jingcheng couldn't help but squint his eyes when he looked at their figures walking away, it seemed that he had to think of a way to escape, otherwise he would really be roasted on the fire like a sacrificial mouth.

Da Niu looked at them sympathetically and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned to them and said, "You can't escape." ”

He knew that they would definitely want to escape, so he kindly reminded them, because he knew that the fate of those who tried to escape would be worse than being a confession.

Xie Chuyao saw that he was about to leave after speaking, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, you stop, why are they sacrificing?" What is this asking for? ”

Da Niu looked at her with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "This, I can't say." "It's a matter in their tribe, and if he tells them, he's snitching.

His wife came to his side, smiled at him, and then stepped forward in front of Xie Chuyao, squatted down and whispered in her ear, "The secret of longevity." ”

After saying that, he stood up and pulled the big cow to leave.

Xie Chuyao looked at their backs with some confusion, the secret of longevity, what is that?

"The sacrifice will begin after dark, so eat well at noon, and let yourself be a full ghost." Da Niu dropped this sentence and left with his wife.

Shang Jingcheng's brows furrowed tightly, and he never let go for a moment, he looked at Xie Chuyao and whispered, "We have to run away while they are not paying attention, otherwise we will really become the roast meat roasted on the fire." ”

Xie Chuyao also said: "Shang Jingcheng, I think they are no one guarding them now, so let's take the opportunity to escape." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Cang said in a cold voice: "It's strange that no one is guarding, you look up and take a good look around." ”

Xie Chuyao raised her head and looked around with some doubts, but this look was not tight, and it directly made her almost bite her tongue.

It turned out that in the surrounding woods, and on the wooden roof behind it, there were people lying down, one by one with bows and arrows in their hands, for fear that as soon as they moved, those arrows would shoot them directly into hedgehogs.

Qingying also looked at Qing Cang with a scared face and said, "It's okay, I didn't notice the existence of these people, your eyesight is really good." ”

Qing Cang was praised by his beloved, and his face was about to grin to his cheeks with joy, he held her hand and said, "That's for sure, how can you stay by your lord's side without this ability!" ”

Qingying glanced at him angrily and said, "You really don't praise you, this praise will forget your form, or not." ”

Shang Jingcheng couldn't help but loosen his frowning brows when he saw their bitter and happy looks, he simply softened his body and leaned on Xie Chuyao's shoulder and said, "Forget it, the water will cover the earth, and the soldiers will block it, I'll see what these people can do with me." ”

He doesn't want to be a hedgehog for the time being, so let's wait and see what happens.

When Xie Chuyao saw him like this, he couldn't help but sigh and smiled: "I didn't expect that the five princes, who didn't change their color at all in front of those black-clothed people, would change color in front of these tribesmen and people, hey, they really have the ability." ”

Shang Jingcheng gently rubbed her shoulder and said: "The fifth prince is also an ordinary person, and in the face of this fire frame, he will also panic, imagine the appearance of being tortured on the frame, can I not change color?" ”

It was rare to hear him tease himself like this, Xie Chuyao couldn't help but laugh "poof", and Qingcang and Qingying next to him also laughed.
