Chapter 260: Sacrifice of the Living

But even so, there is nothing strange about these things in Anu's eyes; Because Anu didn't know what this so-called sacrifice meant in the village?

So naturally, I didn't take it to heart. And her sister Amu is different, when she knew that she and her younger brother Anu were selected as sacrificers, she suddenly remembered the chance encounter with the village chief a few days ago, and the smart Amu was very keenly aware of what connection there seemed to be between the two?

But when she thought about it, sacrificing to her ancestors was a big deal for everyone in the village, and she couldn't change all of that.

So, she had a plan in mind; And this plan is that before today's sacrifice begins, Amu used the excuse of hide and seek to trick his younger brother Anu into the woods early; She knew that her brother was a person who accepted death, and he would not go back if he was not found, so she resolutely chose to bear all this alone; And about what happened after today, Amu didn't have so much time to think about it!

The journey seemed to be very long, and we had been walking a long distance up the hill with the sacrificial procession from the village, but it seemed that we had not yet reached the place. And along the way, we also learned something about the little black house from Anu's mouth, and after hearing the real situation, it really surprised several of us.

According to Anu, the reason why he knew about the existence of the little black house was entirely because he and his sister Amu were digging wild vegetables in the mountains by accident a few days ago; Because of his young age, Anu accidentally fell into a pit hidden in the bushes. Generally speaking, it is normal for the mountains to have such traps in order to catch prey, but Anu encountered a different situation.

Anu said that nothing happened to him when he fell into the pit, but he found that the pit was not very deep, and that there was a wooden ladder on the edge of the pit. Originally, he thought that this wooden ladder might have been placed here when the villagers caught the prey and went down to collect it, and he was about to climb up the ladder; Who would have thought that when he was about to climb, he suddenly felt that someone behind him grabbed him, and he suddenly screamed in fright. When I turned my head to look, I realized that it was not something terrible behind me, but the village chief.

"What are you doing here?"

The village chief didn't seem to be the same as usual, but Anu didn't feel the difference, but he just felt that the amiable village chief seemed to have become a little eerie.

"Grandpa the village chief, it's so good that you are here, Anu fell from above, it really scared Anu to death......" Anu patted his little chest while answering the village chief's question, as if he was really scared.

"Anu, where are you? What's wrong? ”

At this time, the voice of my sister Amu suddenly came from the ground, and it seemed that she heard Anu's exclamation just now and hurriedly heard the news.

"Sister, I'm here, and the village chief's grandfather is also here!"

Anu was still a half-grown child, and he didn't notice the murderous intent that suddenly disappeared in the village chief's eyes after hearing Amu's voice, but hurriedly shouted in response to his sister.

"Let's climb up the ladder, you won't be able to come back here!"

The village chief behind him seemed to have become the amiable village chief grandfather again, touched Anu's head and smiled and let Amu climb up the ladder.

"Huh! Grandpa the village chief, why is there a door here? ”

But just as Anu listened to the words of the village chief and climbed up the ladder, when he turned around, he suddenly saw a small wooden door on the other side of the cellar behind the village chief, and immediately said to the village chief in surprise.

However, the village chief did not answer his question, and still urged him to continue climbing up the ladder; Although the young Anu was very curious, he listened to the village chief's words, so he didn't pay much attention to the small wooden door in the cellar, so he had to climb up the ladder. In his eyes, this may just be a little secret from the village chief......

And this so-called cellar has since become what he calls a little dark house for us! It's just that after such a small episode, things don't seem to be that simple!

Because the village has always had the habit of offering sacrifices to the ancestors; In Anu's words, that is, they will kowtow to their ancestors every fifteenth full moon night; However, in Anu's impression, at the beginning of each sacrifice, those who were sacrificed cried as if something bad had happened, crying like a tearful person, and did not want to leave their families. Why do they cry? Anu doesn't understand!

I don't know if the heavens are joking or if the time seems to be just right, just a few days after Anu crawled out of the cellar, Anu and his sister Amu were selected by the village chief as the sacrificers of the fifteenth day of this month, and it was the only time in many years that two people were sacrificed at the same time.

But even so, there is nothing strange about these things in Anu's eyes; Because Anu didn't know what this so-called sacrifice meant in the village? So naturally, I didn't take it to heart. And her sister Amu is different, when she knew that she and her younger brother Anu were selected as sacrificers, she suddenly remembered the chance encounter with the village chief a few days ago, and the smart Amu was very keenly aware of what connection there seemed to be between the two? But when she thought about it, sacrificing to her ancestors was a big deal for everyone in the village, and she couldn't change all of that. So, she had a plan in mind; And this plan is that before today's sacrifice begins, Amu used the excuse of hide and seek to trick his younger brother Anu into the woods early; She knew that her brother was a person who accepted death, and he would not go back if he was not found, so she resolutely chose to bear all this alone; And about what happened after today, Amu didn't have so much time to think about it!

At this moment, then again! The reason why we know this is not exactly what Anu told us, but a patchwork based on his staccato narration. After all, Anu is still a five or six-year-old child, and he doesn't know how to figure out people's hearts, he doesn't know how to be good or bad, and he doesn't know what his sister Amu is about to face?

"It looks like this village chief is not well-intentioned!" After listening to Anu's story, Gao Jing beside him couldn't help but lower his tone and said something to us. I know that the reason why she lowered her voice was because she didn't want Anu to hear it, because the simple Anu didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all, and only knew that her sister was going to be sacrificed to her ancestors.

"I don't know what the people in this village think? can actually let this **** village chief do nonsense, and willingly help him do these bad things! Lin Zi also said stupidly, and it could be seen that even he, who had always been arrogant, couldn't accept such a thing.

"Let's go, I think as long as you keep an eye on the village chief, everything will soon surface......"

I sighed deeply and said a word to the woods. To be honest, it is impossible not to be angry when encountering such a thing, but about the identity of the old ancestor and the origin of this sacrificial ceremony, the ignorant Anu is not very clear, so we have no room to continue imagining. Therefore, there is no way to make a reasonable explanation for the question of why the people in the village willingly pushed out their families to the ancestors behind the scenes.

And all we can do at the moment is to continue to follow the sacrificial procession and see what kind of wishful thinking this village chief is secretly playing?
