The boy sat down next to him and began to scratch his messy hair. "Brother Azhou is right, you outsiders are different from the people in the village."

"You mean, Lu Yanzhou?" Jiang Yunheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked.

"Well, that's him." The boy stopped scratching his hair. "It's a pity he's gone."

Jiang Yunheng asked again: "How do you know that he is gone?" ”

"That big snake not only eats people, but is also highly poisonous, and it is impossible for him to survive."

"Were you there last night?"

The boy raised the corners of his mouth. "Why else do you think I'm going to save you?"

Jiang Yunheng took a few breaths and continued to ask: "Can you tell us about the things in your village, including Lu Yanzhou and Xiaozhen." ”

The boy wiped his nose with his hand, made a "whoosh" sound, and began to speak. "Our village is called Miao Min Village, and the people in the village all claim to be Miao Min, saying that they are the descendants of the Zhuan Xuan, and Abba has told me since I was a child that the Zhuan is our ancestor and our god, as long as we worship him with our hearts, we will be blessed."

The boy suddenly stopped talking at this point, and his face was indignant, Qiu Wenwen couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" ”

"Five years ago, the Abba man in the village came to me and told my Abba that he had been chosen as God's attendant and was going up the mountain......"

Qiu Wenwen, who had already experienced life and death in the so-called place where God lived, instantly understood. "Just like Jane's parents, they lied to your father."

"Yes!" The boy looked angry. "At first, I didn't know that it was all just a scam, and on the day Abba went up the mountain, I quietly followed him up the mountain because I couldn't bear him, and the result was ......"

A tear flowed from the corner of the boy's eye, Qiu Wenwen hurriedly put down half of the fruit in her hand and wanted to wipe him with a cloth, but he retreated and didn't wipe it.

"After that, I knew that the so-called divine sacrifice in the village was a scam at all, but I was just a child, so what if I knew, I told the truth to people several times, either in exchange for a scolding or a beating, and gradually became a little madman in their mouths."

Jiang Yunheng asked again: "Then who taught you Chinese?" Lu Yanzhou? ”

"Yes!" The boy wiped away the tears that were about to fall with his sleeve.

"When did he come to the stockade?"

"Five years ago, when my father was just a few months away."

"He and you, and Jane?"

The boy continued: "Brother Ah Zhou is also like you, he fell into this village by accident, but he is better than you, he is not injured, and he still has some things, the one I used to save you was given to me by Brother Ah Zhou. ”

"He and Jane?"

"The first person Brother Azhou met here was me, the people in the village don't like outsiders, he has nowhere to go, so I took him to my house, and later he met Sister Xiaozhen and began to teach the two of us to speak Chinese."

"So, he's been in your stockade for almost five years?"

The boy nodded. "Hmm!"

Jiang Yunheng was puzzled: "Since he has been fine here for five years, why would he suddenly push him out to worship the gods?" ”

"Because there was a ground movement in the mountains this year, the monsters called the divine messengers have escaped, and many of the livestock in the stockade have been dragged away." The boy paused before continuing. "The old man of the ancestral family said that it was because there were strangers in the village who angered the gods, and he had to be sacrificed to the gods to calm the wrath."

"I see." Jiang Yunheng sighed and shook Qiu Wenwen's hand. "We really caught up with the place this time."

"Actually, when the two of you floated from the sea, many people were present, and they all wanted to sacrifice you two to the gods together, but you both had only one breath left at that time, and the old man said that it was disrespectful to sacrifice the gods with the dead, and you had to live, and the time for the sacrifice of the gods was not up at that time, so I chose to save you first."

Qiu Wenwen sighed: "Then how can we be in Xiao Zhen's house?" ”

"Because they lied to Sister Xiaozhen, saying that as long as you two are willing to be God's sacrifices, let you take Brother Azhou's place."

Qiu Wenwen and Jiang Yunheng looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"Don't hate Sister Jane either." The boy knew what was going on their minds at the moment. "Sister Xiaozhen can't do this, she can't bear to watch Brother Azhou being sacrificed to the gods."

Qiu Wenwen shouted: "Then she can't bear to watch us being sacrificed to the gods?" ”

The boy lowered his head, and after a moment he lifted up. "Sister Xiaozhen likes Brother Azhou, will you give up the person you like because of two strangers?"

"I ......" Qiu Wenwen swallowed back to her mouth, it is undeniable that if she is Xiaozhen, Ah Zhou will be replaced by Jiang Qinling, I am afraid that Jiang Yunheng will be willing to do it, let alone a stranger.

The boy stared at Qiu Wenwen until she couldn't stand it and turned her face to the side, then said with a little sarcasm: "Brother Azhou said that people are selfish, and you can give up others for the sake of your relatives, you should be like this." ”

"Thank you for saving us." Jiang Yun opened his mouth horizontally, leading away the boy's tightening of Qiu Wenwen. "Thank you also to Xiaozhen, I know that she is helpless to do that, and I don't blame her."

After listening to Jiang Yunheng's words, the boy felt a lot more comfortable, and he was no longer so aggressive towards Qiu Wenwen. "Sister Xiaozhen, isn't it also ......?"

Jiang Yun looked guilty: "That big snake dragged Lu Yanzhou away, we chased all the way to the top of the mountain, and when we found him in the cave later, he was out of breath a long time ago, and when the big snake appeared again, Xiao Zhen refused to go, we couldn't help it, I'm sorry." ”

"You don't have to feel guilty." The boy tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Just like her aunt back then, although I was still young when Sister Xiaozhen's Abba and Aunt went, I know their story, Sister Xiaozhen is like her aunt, she likes Brother Azhou so much, she must be very sad to see him die."

Looking at this child, who was obviously not old, but spoke in a tone like an adult who had gone through vicissitudes, Jiang Yunheng asked him: "By the way, you saved us, but we still don't know what your name is, what is your name?" ”

"My name is Agu."

"Agu!" Jiang Yunheng read the name in his mouth and then asked, "How old are you?" ”

Agu said, "Sixteen years old. ”

Jiang Yunheng raised his hand, wanting to comfort Agu, but it hurt only a little, so he had to give up. "When I was sixteen years old, I was still a hairy child who didn't know anything, but you have to go through so much, and it hurts you."

Agu shook his head and got up from the ground. "There is only one bamboo raft that can't drift far at all, we can't go for the time being, remember that there is a cave in front of us, go there first."

After Agu finished speaking, he squatted down and wrapped Jiang Yunheng's arm around the back of his neck, and dragged the person to stand up half-hugged and half-resistant, and found that Qiu Wenwen was still sitting on the ground, so he asked, "Can you go?" ”

Qiu Wenwen nodded, braced the ground hard and wanted to stand up, but she just got up a little and sat back and forth, and tried back and forth a few times, and it was still the same.

Agu was helpless. "I'll send him over first, and I'll pick you up when I'm done."

Qiu Wenwen pursed her lips. "I'm sorry for you."

The cave that Agu spoke of was in the middle of the island, a little far away. So by the time he sent Jiang Yunheng into the cave to settle down and then go back to find Qiu Wenwen, a long time had passed.

Not far from where he remembered them coming ashore, Agu pushed aside a clump of dead grass in front of him, and opened his mouth to shout, but he choked back as he exited. Outside the grass in front of her, Qiu Wenwen was sitting with her hands on the ground, and her body could be seen trembling from such a long distance. Directly in front of her, a wild boar with long fangs was arching to the ground with a mouthful of dirt, as if looking for an opportunity to attack her.

Agu cautiously crawled into the grass, changing his position by the cover of the grass, and finally touched the nearest place behind Qiu Wenwen and threw a small pebble over.

Qiu Wenwen, who felt the movement behind her, turned her head and opened her mouth to call Agu, but saw Agu raise a finger. "Shh

Qiu Wenwen hurriedly closed her mouth and asked Agu with her eyes and mouth shape. "What should I do?"

Agu pointed to the ground and motioned for Qiu Wenwen to smash the wild boar on the rocks on the ground, and when Qiu Wenwen understood what he meant, her head was about to shake into a rattle. was already scared to death, and let her take the initiative to throw stones to provoke the wild boar, it's incredible to think about. But Agu was very persistent, and made another gesture to throw the boar with something. Qiu Wenwen was very helpless, and she had the courage to pick up a particularly small stone from the ground, but she hesitated and couldn't throw it out.

Agu couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't count on Qiu Wenwen's cooperation, so he could only rely on himself. After fumbling in the grass for a while, he picked out two large stones, first held the small one in his hand, aimed at the boar's head, and threw it out.

The wild boar, who was already looking for an opportunity to attack, was completely enraged by the stone, and pounced on Qiu Wenwen with a roar. Then I saw Agu pick up the big stone and rush out of the grass, and smashed the wild boar on the head when it was about to pounce on Qiu Wenwen.

The boar was hit on the head by a stone, and instantly lost his balance in dizziness, and Agu saw this opportunity, took out the sickle he carried with him, and stabbed it under the boar's neck.

Wild boars are also pigs, and compared with domestic pigs, they are a little more wild, the same stupid, and the same key point under the neck. So it didn't take long for the wild boar that had been pierced in the neck by Agu to gradually convulsion and fall to the ground due to blood loss, and after a while it was completely immobile.

The wild boars were already dead, and Qiu Wenwen still hadn't come back to her senses, looking at its corpse in a daze, and her speech was stumbling. "It'...... It'......"

"Dead!" Agu said as he walked to the side of the wild boar: "This guy is not too big, he should be young, and the meat should not be too old." ”

After listening to what Agu said, Qiu Wenwen couldn't help but cover her mouth. "You...... Want to eat its meat? ”

"It's not me, it's us." After Agu finished speaking, he used a sickle to cut open the belly of the wild boar.

Qiu Wenwen stared, looking at the internal organs that flowed all over the ground, she didn't hold back, and she vomited out "wow". "Vomit ......"

Qiu Wenwen vomited so badly, Agu quietly waited for her to finish vomiting. "Brother Azhou said that you foreigners also want to eat meat, are you an exception? It's not right, Sister Xiaozhen always boiled fish fillet porridge for you before, and fish is not also meat. ”

Qiu Wenwen was out of breath and couldn't speak, so she could only wave her hand. "No...... It's not ......"

"Alas!" Agu shook his head and sighed. "You strangers' rules are really strange, fish is not meat."

"It's not!" Qiu Wenwen endured her nausea and said, "I've never seen anything like this." ”

"Like this?" Agu looked the boar up and down several times, and finally understood. "You mean its guts?"

Qiu Wenwen nodded weakly.

"Say it earlier!" Agu knew that Qiu Wenwen vomited because he couldn't see the internal organs of the wild boar, so he cut off all the internal organs with a sickle, and then dragged them to the beach and threw them into the seawater, and clapped his hands. "Alright."

The internal organs of the place were gone, Qiu Wenwen finally got a little better, and she didn't continue to vomit, but her body was even more weak and she couldn't stand up at all. Agu grabbed a handful of weeds, wiped his sickle, pinned it on his belt, and then went to her side and stretched out his hands.
