Chapter 45: Bloody Sacrifice
Chinese My ears were filled with noisy shouts, and when I opened my eyes in a daze, I was surrounded by a beating red fire.
My gaze began to refocus, and there were surging heads all around me, and I was tied to a cross.
The piercing pain soon began to hit my nerves, and I turned my head to see that the scratch on my arm was still oozing blood.
I tried to struggle a little more, but it didn't work much at all. I breathed a long sigh of relief and tried to calm myself down.
"Xi'er! Zhang Xi'er! "I was ecstatic, that naked/naked woman was none other than Zhang Xi'er.
"Brother Lu Yuan, why are you also arrested." Zhang Xi'er cried and said, "Brother Lu Yuan, why are you so careless!" ”
"Brother Lu Yuan, why do you have so much blood on your body, are you injured!" Zhang Xi'er asked worriedly.
Zhang Xi'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, Jiang Dandan asked me to go to the hot spring to find Sister Wang Yan, I walked halfway, my head was confused, and I was here when I woke up." ”
"Brother Lu Yuan, will we be eaten today!" Zhang Xi'er said with a crying voice, "Will it hurt when you die?" ”
Zhang Xi'er nodded, biting her lip and trying to stop choking. I looked at the big fire set up by the savages, around which they were dancing very strangely.
I counted the wild men near the fire, there were no less than two hundred, men, women, and children almost all of them were out of the nest!
After about half an hour of dancing, an old man dressed in a bear skin came out, and everyone respected him very much, and knelt on the ground with his chest crossed.
I looked at the bear skin that the old man was wearing, and a wave of anger surged over me, this was not the skin of the brown bear I had killed.
I shook my head and found that the brown bear skin on the old man's body had been treated, how long the had I been unconscious!
I could only understand a few words of the old man's words, but I could deduce the general meaning, so I replied in English: "Oriental." ”
I didn't understand this sentence directly, but I only understood when Zhang Xier translated it to me.
The old man smiled indifferently and said, "I'm afraid that you will leave us from now on, so you have to do this." ”
The old man stopped talking to me, someone brought him a bamboo stool, and after he sat down, he waved his hand very indifferently.
The little boy and the little girl were very ignorant and were brought to the ancient tree, and the priests who took the lead in dancing came to the ancient tree, and knelt down with their chests folded reverently, and prostrate themselves on the ground, reciting words.
The priest stood up and slashed his hand with a stone knife, and he drew a strange pattern on the faces of the little girl and the little boy, but the pattern I knew all too well, it was the 'little' character.
The little boy and the little girl screamed, and then rolled their eyes, completely cut off their breath. An even more bizarre scene followed, their blood poured backwards down the trunk of the tree, and finally gathered in a red fruit.
I subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, what are these wild people doing, why do they use boys and girls to sacrifice such a strange old tree!
"Zhang Xi'er, wake up!" I shouted loudly, but Zhang Xi'er didn't react, looking at the ancient tree with a blank expression.
I did not dare to move, but continued to look towards the sacrifice, and a strong man walked forward and half-knelt before the sacrifice.
The priest was a little embarrassed, and motioned for his subordinates to come and ask the old man, who hesitated for a moment and nodded.
