Now that you've decided to be nosy, you can't stay in your room all the time. I can't speak, and the heavy responsibility of going out to find out the news falls on Gu Xiangcheng's shoulders.

The people in Yangui Town don't seem to realize that the catastrophe is coming, and it is still a noisy and lively scene. When Gu Xiangcheng walked on the street, he could feel the joy of passers-by. He couldn't help but be a little curious, so he casually stopped a man and asked, "This big brother, seeing that you are in a hurry, where are you going?" ”

The man looked him up and down, and smiled enthusiastically: "The little brother is a foreigner, right?" Hey, no wonder you don't know! Today is our 'Poseidon Festival', and everyone in the town is rushing to see it! If the little brother is curious, go and take a look! With that, he strode away.

"Poseidon Festival?" Gu Cheng was stunned, this wild goose town is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one official road leading outside, how can the god worshiped be the god of the sea?

He wanted to find out, but he didn't feel at ease with a young girl, so he had to go to the inn to find her. Who knew that after searching all over the inn, there was no one, and after asking Xiao Er, I learned that I had already gone out to see the Poseidon Festival.

Gu Xiangcheng shook his head and chuckled, saying in his heart that this girl looked cold, and she never thought that her curiosity was so heavy. He went out with a smile, not realizing that on the second floor of the inn, a small window quietly opened, revealing a face wearing a ghost mask. The innkeeper stood beside him with his hands tied, his face full of respect.

Gu Chengcheng followed the flow of people and successfully found the place of sacrifice. It's already crowded there, where can you still squeeze in? Gu Xiangcheng had a headache, and said in his heart that if it weren't for the strange sound of this sea god sacrifice, he wouldn't have come to suffer this sin! Fortunately, there were several large trees on both sides of the road, and he jumped lightly to the branches, so that he could see clearly ahead.

The man said that it was the "Sea God Sacrifice", but looking at it, it was no different from an ordinary sacrifice, how could it attract so much respect and popularity from everyone in the town?

was looking down and groaning, but he heard a burst of cheers under the tree, and when he looked up, Gu Xiangcheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he was stunned in place - it turned out that the altar was set up at the foot of the mountain, and ordinary sacrificial objects were placed on it, but no one approached the altar within a square radius. Gu Xiangcheng hadn't paid attention to it before, nor did he look carefully.

But now the altar shook suddenly, and a crack broke in the ground, and the crack grew bigger and bigger, and in a short time the whole altar was swallowed up. I only heard a "poof" sound, and a large splash of water. The splash fell on the front row of people, and the people behind immediately rushed forward like crazy!

What's going on? How can you rush to death? Gu Xiangcheng was surprised, squatting on the tree and puzzled.

Those who are stained with water in the front can't retreat, and those who are not stained with water in the back are desperately squeezed forward, and naturally someone will fall into the water. But there was a lot of commotion at the scene, who would care about the one or two who fell? I wish they could make room for themselves so that they could dip themselves in some divine water and bless themselves with good luck all year round.

The farce lasted for a full two quarters of an hour, and the cracks began to close, and the people who were still splashing in the water panicked and shouted for help, but they could only watch as everyone turned away one by one with satisfied smiles on their faces.

They are sacrifices to the god of the sea, if they are saved, what if they are blamed by the god of the sea? Before the gap was completely closed, the people standing here were gone.

Oh no, there were two more - one squatting in a tree, the other standing by the crevice.

Gu Xiangcheng had no intention of glancing at it, he was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped down from the tree, grabbed the girl who was going to jump down in the next second, and shouted angrily: "Don't you want to die!" ”

Disgusted with Qing's eyes, it seemed that he didn't expect this person to yell at himself. As soon as Gu Xiangcheng pulled her away, the gap was tightly closed.

Gu Xiangcheng felt that his palms were covered with cold sweat, he couldn't imagine, if he fell into the water, would he be like those "sacrifices" and never get out again?

A pair of Qing Lingling's eyes looked directly at the back of his head, and he was dragged to the point that his steps staggered a little. She lowered her head, looked at the two hands clasped together, and gently pursed the corners of her mouth.

When she arrived at the inn, Gu Xiangcheng let go of her hand, turned her head to look at her, and didn't feel how rude her previous actions were, but said: "Although I have made up my mind to take care of this matter, if the price is to hate you, then it is better for us to leave now." ”

He tilted his head in confusion, as if asking why.

Gu Jiaocheng walked to the inn without looking back, and said: "Now I am not capable, even if I encounter any danger, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of myself, let alone protect the girl." If it is true that my own selfish wishes have caused the girl to be in danger, I will be disturbed. ”

His eyes flashed, he took a few steps forward and grabbed his sleeve, shook it gently, and wrote on his hand: "Are you angry? ”

"No, it's just that the disgusting girl is the person next to the Shen Pavilion Lord after all, if something really happens, the Shen Pavilion Lord is afraid that he will be sad and sad." Gu Xiangcheng smiled slightly and said, "I can't bear to make him a little sad." ”

She blinked and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Gu Xiangcheng looked at her, suddenly sighed, and said, "But I think, if the disgusting girl really wants to do something, I estimate that I can't stop myself." Just one point, don't get hurt, can it be done? ”

Disgusted with Qing nodded again. It's just a small request, and I just agreed.

Gu Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and changed to his usual smile: "After watching the excitement for so long, are you hungry?" What did you have for breakfast? As he spoke, he beckoned Xiao Er to tea.

He sat with him in a well-lit position, nodded when he heard the words, and shook his head again.

Gu Xiangcheng looked at her face and asked Xiao Er to serve a few light side dishes and a pot of chicken soup. The two waited quietly for the food to be served, and they were not in a hurry, so they sat quietly in the lobby and drank water, listening to the discussions of the people who came to eat.

"Yo Lao Li, look at your wet body, why don't you hurry back and change your clothes?"

"You know what, this is a treasure from the god of the sea! What do you do when you change it? Steal it from someone? ”

"It's just a rag and a baby...... I see, this sea god is not so spiritual, otherwise why would he have to sacrifice every year? Dead people when they come back? The man who had spoken earlier smiled dismissively.

"Phew! Don't talk nonsense, be careful that you're the one who suffers next year! Lao Li looked left and right, and saw that no one heard, so he relaxed. He glared at the man again and ran away with a puff of smoke.

"Cut ......" The man took a sip, snorted softly, sang an unknown tune in his mouth, and staggered to his feet to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Er.

"You haven't paid the bill yet, this guest officer!"

The man frowned, touched his body, pulled out a crumpled money bag, and poured out a few copper plates—not enough for a pot of tea.

Seeing that Xiao Er's face had changed, Gu Xiangcheng suddenly spoke: "Xiao Er, this brother's account is on my head." ”

The man turned around, squinted his eyes and looked him and the girl opposite him up and down, staggered over, sat down unceremoniously, and grinned, "Brother, thank you!" ”

Disgusted with Qing, he moved silently to Gu Xiangcheng's side. Gu Xiangcheng poured her a cup of tea soothingly, urging Xiao Er to serve the food quickly, and then focused on the people around him.

It looks like he should be a rich kid, but he is unkempt, and he can't tell how old he is. But these are not important, Gu Xiangcheng can hear it clearly, he is very disdainful of the so-called "sea god".

It's just that there are a lot of people in the lobby, and if he can't talk in unison, he will let others listen, and if he provokes the anger of the people and is driven out of the town by their cooperation, then his purpose of staying here will not be achieved. Thinking so, he smiled and said, "This brother is polite, if you don't dislike it, why don't you dine together?" ”

"Okay, okay." The man was also really polite, and glanced at the third person on the table, "In the next section of Feiqiu, I don't know the two noble surnames?" ”

"In Xia Gu Yan, this girl is Shen Yanqing. The two of us passed by this place, and overheard that there was a sacrifice today, and we were curious, so we stayed and joined in the fun. Gu Xiangcheng smiled.

"I see." Duan Feiqiu touched his chin, "Brother, I don't think you're a person who causes trouble, listen to my brother's advice, if there is nothing important, it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”

"What? Could it be that this town is weird? Gu Xiangcheng pretended to be surprised, and just as he was about to ask, Xiao Er came up with a smile with the dishes, so he had to stop talking, "Forget it, it's not too late to ask Brother Duan about this later, let's eat first." A misogynistic girl? ”

Yiqing raised his eyes to look at him, lifted his chopsticks, picked up a green vegetable, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

Gu Jiaocheng looked at her, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He filled a bowl of soup, put it in front of Yiqing, and whispered, "Drink some soup first to warm your stomach." ”

Disgusted Qing picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup - it was a little hot.

Duan Feiqiu looked at the interaction between the two of them, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

After the three of them finished the meal, they looked a little disgusted, and their spirits were not very good. Gu Xiangcheng looked worried, so he told her to go upstairs to rest first. Yiqing hesitated for a moment, but he was still coaxed back to the room.

Gu Xiangcheng watched her enter the house, and when she turned her head, she was startled by a face that was very close: "Brother Duan?!" ”

Duan Feiqiu stepped back a little, with a strange smile on his face: "Hey, brother and sister? ”

Gu Xiangcheng blinked, and suddenly blushed: "No, no!" ”

"Not? Brother Gu, you look at your own appearance, you can't wait to serve people as ancestors, aren't you? Can you do it? Do you want your brother to help you? As he spoke, Duan Feiqiu squeezed his eyebrows.

"No, no, no, no!" Gu Xiangcheng refused repeatedly. Just kidding, acting is acting, in case he accidentally makes a fake come true, how can he explain it to Yan'er?

Fortunately, Duan Feiqiu was just joking, and he didn't really plan to meddle in the gossip between the young couple, so he just laughed narrowly and put it aside and didn't mention it.

Gu Xiangcheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought of this person's previous attitude towards the "Sea God", and couldn't help but be curious: "Speaking of which, Brother Duan just asked us to leave quickly, why is this?" ”

"Why?" Duan Feiqiu took a thin bamboo stick in his mouth, glanced at him lazily, and sneered, "The dove occupies the magpie's nest, but can only watch his followers worship the impostor, how can he not resent it in his heart?" Brother, just wait, if these fools continue to obses, it won't be long before the town of Yangui will become a dead city! ”
