Chapter 152: Sacrificial Activities
The kid! It's the kid! ”
I hurriedly shouted.
The three of them rushed into the alley as if they were dead, and at that moment I didn't care about it, and chased after him with all my strength, just thinking about catching up with him.
That's a rush! I felt the earthen walls of the houses on both sides flash backwards rapidly.
When I stopped to see if Chen Laosan and Zhang Kailong were keeping up, I looked back and saw where they were still there.
At this time, I fixed my eyes and saw that this was already outside the village, surrounded by a field of corn that was one person high, and Xiaohe Village was almost nowhere to be seen.
Where is this? I wondered.
I just blindly followed the little boy just now, and I didn't look in the direction, and chased here, and the little boy was lost.
Only then did I find myself in a dilemma, should I go back to find Zhang Kailong and the others, or should I continue to walk forward to find the strange child?
Suddenly, there was a shout in the distance, and this sound was made by a group of people, and there should be quite a few of them. Could it be that all the people in Xiaohe Village are there? I thought to myself.
In the direction of the sound, I drilled through a few cornfields, and a large depression appeared in front of me, and I saw that the whole area was at least a few hundred acres, and the depression was surrounded by all kinds of crops, but there was almost no grass in this depression, and there was a pungent stench.
The shouting crowd gathered in the center of the depression and watched as hundreds of people lived.
Because I am standing in a high position and my eyesight is good, I can see the appearance of that group of people clearly, they should all be villagers of Xiaohe Village, men, women and children!
In the middle of the crowd stood a thin old man with his back to me, holding in his hand a dagger the length of a student's ruler, saying something to a young man tied to a stake, and every time he spoke, the people around him raised their arms and cheered.
Suddenly, at the front of the crowd, in the closest place to this old man, I saw a child wrapped very tightly in his body, and I felt a sigh in my heart, isn't this that strange child!
Then I looked at the old man again, and I guessed who he was, it was the high priest!
Seeing that it was him, I was nervous, thinking of what Uncle Shi said before, this high priest is a Gu master, and he can hurt Uncle Shi, if you want to kill me, don't you play?
I quickly hid under a few castor beans and covered myself with the leaves of the castor beans, while the heat in my body slowly reached my eyes and ears.
With a warm and comfortable feeling, I instantly became clairvoyant and downwind ear.
The High Priest's voice was still very low, and it made people feel chills in their hearts, as if he was accusing the young man who was being bound. Tell him which one he has violated, which one, as if it were a canon of what kind of religion.
The young man cried and begged for mercy, saying that he knew he was wrong and wanted a chance to atone for his sins.
The high priest only sneered, and asked in a cold voice if the young man was willing to be loyal to him with all his heart.
The young man hurriedly shouted yes.
The High Priest nodded, threw the dagger at a man behind him, and then stretched out his right hand.
His fingernails were extremely long, and his fingers were as dry as twigs.
What does this old man want to do? I saw him reach out and gesture at the young man's chest, still reading something out of his mouth.
Suddenly, with a scream from the young man, the claw-like hand actually reached into the young man's chest, and then quickly retracted, and I saw that a bloody heart was already in the palm of his hand.
This scene was so fast that I was so caught off guard that I almost screamed. Hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
I thought that the young man would die after a scream, but an unexpected scene appeared, and the man did not react at first at first, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and when he saw the heart in the high priest's hand and looked down to see the hole in his chest, he knew what had happened, and then he shouted, and the person fainted.
The high priest struck him on the forehead with his other hand and cried out, "Wake up," and the young man suddenly woke up again.
At this time, this man was bloodless, and I knew that it was not because he had lost his heart, but because he was scared! The young man was already frightened, his mouth trembling and not knowing what to say, and it seemed that he was still begging for mercy.
A group of spectators seemed to be enchanted, all of them were red-faced, and their mouths were shouting something, as if they were cheering.
The high priest held up the heart, which seemed to be still beating, and shouted "Linen enough" in his mouth, and suddenly a group of people, both adults and children, all seemed to be crazy, and shouted "Linen enough" together.
After a minute, the sound stopped abruptly.
The high priest looked at the young man with a smirk and asked, "Your heart is in my custody for the time being, if you can do that for me, I will give it back to you, otherwise ......" He paused, glancing at the strange child behind him.
The young man was already desperate, but when he heard that there was a chance to live, the head suddenly lit like pounding garlic.
"Let it take your place for the time being!"
As he spoke, the high priest pulled out a beetle the size of a duck's egg from his pocket, it was a live beetle, and I could see his legs moving.
As if by magic, the high priest put his hand into the man's chest again, and when he came out, the beetle was no longer in his hand.
Soon the frightened young man was carried down. At this time, I noticed that there was still a person lying on the ground, who looked either faint or dead.
The high priest turned and took the dagger, and crouched down before the man, and made a bloody cut on his face, on his arm, on his leg, on his belly, and in short, everywhere it was exposed, and then called for a small black barrel.
I heard the high priest whisper something (as if "children, play to your heart's content"), and then poured everything down the contents of the black bucket.
Suddenly a feeling of nausea came out of my stomach, and the black bucket was full of small red centipedes, each only two or three centimeters long, and all of them fell on the man's body at once, densely and scattered.
I was born with a fear of this myriaped bug, and when I saw it, my heart itched, and I felt uncomfortable all over my body.
Those little red centipedes crawled very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had dispersed. At this time, the person who was lying motionless on the ground suddenly jumped up and let out a hoarse scream, but after more than ten seconds, he lay down on the ground again, and I knew that he was really dead now.
Because of the distance, even if my eyesight is super long, some details are still not clear, and I guess those little red centipedes crawled into the flesh of this person along the wound just cut, up to the internal organs.
I really can't help but sigh when I see this, and then fart. The strand crouched to the ground.
At the time, I thought it was a light gesture and didn't make much noise, but the high priest noticed it.
It first looked over the ego, and then suddenly its eyes widened, and it bent down and said something to the strange little boy, who turned and ran towards me.
It was so fast, it was like lightning.
I sighed to myself: Oh no!
Then he got up and ran in the direction of the village with all his strength.
After only a few hundred meters, I was caught up by the kid, who grabbed my ankle so hard that I tried to break free, but after a few attempts, I found that the boy's hand was like a vice, and it was extremely powerful.
Because I was too strong and couldn't break free, I "snapped" and fell to the ground. As I fell to the ground, the force that had held me away was gone, and I was able to turn around.
The boy stood right in front of me, his heart beating and panting, like a ghost.
After a few seconds of pause, he stretched out his hand and slowly took off the mask, revealing the bearded cat mouth.
Fortunately, I've seen it once before, otherwise I would have thought it was a monster when I saw it so suddenly, and I wouldn't be scared to death!
The cat-faced child walked over me step by step, and at the same time slowly opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of blue-faced fangs. No way! Is this going to eat me? Or bite me? I exclaimed in my heart.
At this moment, my lower abdomen moved. Spirit Snake! It's a spirit snake! When I think of the spirit snake, my heart is happy! Since the Spirit Snake is the King of Ten Thousand Gus, maybe he can cure this cat-faced boy!
The cat-faced boy didn't pause, and grabbed me by the neck, and suddenly I felt a little difficult to breathe.
When I was about to fall unconscious, I felt the spirit snake rush out of my stomach, and at that moment I was secretly relieved.
I seem to have had a long dream, in which many people chased me, and many people smiled at me, including antique Li, including Sun Banxian'er, including her gorgeous father Li Gui.
I secretly said in my heart: Am I already fucking hanging? It's too easy, isn't it?
At this time, it was as if someone was calling my name.
"Xiao Zhen! Xiao Zhen, wake up......"
I suddenly opened my eyes, and I saw a big face and a square face looking at me in front of me, this is Chen Laosan and Zhang Kailong! Are they also dead?
I was wondering, Zhang Kailong patted my face and shouted, "Wake up, wake up!" ”
"Why are you here?" Then I realized that it wasn't a dream, and that they were really crouching next to me.
"Are you alright? Why did you faint in this sorghum field! Zhang Kailong asked with concern.
Suddenly, I reacted, looked around, and asked them, "What about the little boy?" You don't see that? ”
"No! You kid ran fast, and when we found here, we saw you lying on the ground and nothing else. ”
I slowly stood up, rubbed my ankles and neck, and found that these two places were already very red and swollen, as if I had been poisoned.
"What's wrong with your neck?" Zhang Kailong saw me rubbing my neck and asked.
"Caught by the little boy, he ...... He's not human! ”
I told them what had just happened, but they didn't seem to believe it.
Chen Laosan said: "We have come all the way here, and we haven't met anyone!"
