I don't know what this blood sacrifice is all about, whether it's to put some blood on people, or whether people were used as sacrifices in ancient times and slaughtered to the heavens.

This is the most important custom of the people, and when I first arrived, I didn't dare to say much, but just watched from the sidelines.

Ann was like a quail in the cold, shrinking her little body tightly, and was pushed to the top of the stone platform, and her eyes looked around timidly, and soon she found me in the midst of a large crowd.

The eyes of the two of us collided in mid-air.

I found her gaze mingling with sadness, fear, and numbness, and finally turned into pleading.

It's like a little rabbit in a cage, and the kind of touching pity that sees a companion being bought by someone with his ears and then revealed.

I took one look and I couldn't stand it.

I really want to save her, but I don't know if my words work, after all, people give me face, I am my face, people don't give me face, I am my ass.

Just as I hesitated, the only woman among the five elders stepped forward.

With colored feathers on her head and oil paint on her face, she danced like a god in front of the stone platform, and after a few minutes, she suddenly picked up a stone hammer next to her and slammed it down on the head of the man next to Ann.

She smashed it, it was really smashed, suddenly, with a sledgehammer, bang, bang......

In the first blow, the man fell directly to the ground, but she did not hesitate, and a huge force burst out from her thin body, and with two blows, blood shot and brains flowed, filling the entire stone platform.

The surrounding high-ranking members of the Linhu clan all stretched out their hands frantically, shaking constantly, and shouted a few simple syllables loudly.

It was as if it was a sacrifice, but the strange atmosphere left me speechless, and the young girl Ann was so frightened by the elder's ferocity that she suddenly jumped off the stone platform like a fawn, and ran towards me.

Because it was a bit sudden, no one paid attention at first.

By the time the person next to me reacted, Ann had already rushed to my side, knelt down in front of me, and then tugged at my sleeve and looked at me pitifully, with tears in her eyes.

She didn't speak, just looked at me pitifully.

The elder next to him claimed his identity and did not step forward, while Kuai Mengyun stepped up and shouted: "You evil animal, why don't you hurry over and wait for the sacrifice?" ”

He reached over and grabbed Ann, but the girl didn't move, just clutching my sleeve so tightly.

Wait a minute......

Just as Kuai Mengyun was tugging at Ann's hair, I finally couldn't bear it anymore.

I simply can't bear the bloody custom of sacrificing people, let alone stoning a young girl to death.

If she were some kind of wicked person, I would have turned a blind eye, but in my opinion, Ann is simply an innocent little white lamb.

She has no sin in her, so how can she run to death?

No way!

I stopped Kuai Mengyun, and then arched my hand towards the patriarch sitting in the middle and said, "Patriarch, I have a request, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

The old woman smiled kindly, "You are Elder Song's life-saving benefactor, if there is anything, just say it." ”

I pointed to Ann, who was curled up like a quail under me, and said, "I have a relationship with her, if you can, can you leave her to me?" ”

Without waiting for the patriarch to speak, Kuai Mengyun said with some displeasure: "Doctor Lu, if you like women, I will go back and help you arrange a few mature women, this has been selected as a sacrifice, so don't force it." ”

He tugged hard, but I firmly grasped Ann's cold hand.

I stared earnestly into the patriarch's eyes.

She didn't speak.

About ten seconds later, for me, it seemed like a century, and suddenly she smiled, grinning toothlessly, and said with a smile: "It's hard to buy anything, since you like it, just give it to you-Zhaomei, take this woman back, wash it, change her clothes, and go back to our Lu Shen Doctor's room." ”

Hearing this, my heart was relieved, and I bowed to the patriarch and said, "Thank you for your mercy and generosity. ”

In the morning, the middle-aged woman came up and took the girl down, but what I didn't expect was that after a while, another woman who had been stripped clean came up.

This time, before I could have any doubts, the female elder picked up the stone hammer and smashed her head into a watermelon.

Although Ann survived, in the end, there were still people who could not escape death.

Immediately after the sacrifice, a maid stepped on the drum and brought the food, which was much more elaborate than the food served in the cafeteria, and there was also rice and wine.

Wine is a kind of winemaking, some yellow, like Shaoxing rice wine, the quality is not good.

But even so, the fellows seemed to be very fond of wine, and without waiting for the food to be served, they immediately took their glasses and toasted to the patriarch among them.

The patriarch saw that these people's eyes were about to fall into the wine, and there were no more rules, so he waved his hand and said that he was happy today, and the wine was enough, just don't go crazy.

This sentence attracted countless cheers, and everyone did not restrain them anymore, poured wine one after another, and began to salute each other, and the scene was warm for a while.

No one paid attention to the dead on the stone platform.

After three rounds of drinking, the patriarch suddenly asked Kuai Mengyun, and said yes, you will set off tomorrow and go to Butterfly Valley?

Kuai Mengyun stood up and answered, saying yes.

The patriarch asked a few more words, and suddenly turned to my side and asked me, "I heard that Doctor Lu is also going with you?" ”

I did the same, stood up like a dream, and said yes.

The patriarch waved his hand and said, "Butterfly Valley is so dangerous, if you accidentally bury your life, how can you go?" It's better to stay in the village, it's safest. ”

I didn't say yes, but said, "People don't have tribulations, it's hard to grow, and I still want to train myself." ”

The patriarch persuaded me again and again, but I was still stubborn, she had no choice but to call a man named Jing Ke, pointed at him and said: "This is the most powerful master in the younger generation of my Linhu clan, except for Mengyun, let him accompany you to protect your safety, please don't refuse." ”

Having said that, what else do I have to say, I can only say yes at the moment.

Actually, I'm already feeling some pressure.

Ever since I had shown my craft, the Linhu clan had become more and more eager for me, and behind this eagerness there was a hint of appropriation, and yet I could not stay here and be a barefoot doctor for them.

Besides, the medicine I carry in my bag is limited, and when I run out, I'm afraid my ability will be reduced by half.

The banquet continued, and although it seemed a little cold because I had rejected the patriarch's offer several times, it was soon eagerness again because of the alcohol, and the gang was quite reserved at first, but after drinking, their emotions were high, and they toasted with me.

I ate a banquet of wine until late at night, and many people were drunk, but I was so preoccupied that I didn't eat much, and as soon as the patriarch left, I also retired.

Kuai Mengyun sent me, and when he was on the way, he said to me earnestly: "Do you know, after so many years, you are the first person to refuse the patriarch. ”

I was stunned and said, what's wrong?

He said in a deep voice, "Do you know where the people who rejected the patriarch before are now? ”

I actually know the answer, but I still choose to play stupid and say, ah, where?

Kuai Mengyun pointed in the direction of the lake and said to me, "They all feed the fish in the lake." ”

I was silent for a moment before asking, "You mean, don't anger the patriarch at will?" ”

He said to me earnestly: "You are the person brought by Xiaobei, and you also know Feiyu, I don't want you to have anything to do, that's why I told you this, do you know?" ”

I nodded and said thank you for taking care of you.

He escorted me to the door, and instead of coming in, he smiled knowingly and said, "Enjoy the night, and I won't bother you." ”

After Kuai Mengyun left, I remembered that there was a little girl waiting for me in this room.

Looking at his evil smile just now, I couldn't stop my heart from beating wildly, and I took a sip, saying that Lao Tzu already has worms in his heart, and any woman in this world is the opposite sex for me.

I adjusted my mood and walked into the temporary medical hall where I was placed, but as soon as I entered the door, Luo Xiaobei jumped over and shouted at me: "Hey! ”

I was startled and said, "Why are you here?"

Luo Xiaobei pointed to the room inside and said, Is it my fault for delaying your good deeds here?

Did I say someone had already sent it?

Luo Xiaobei nodded, and said yes, you are doing well, someone will send a woman to your room the next day, this face, tsk......

I glanced outside, then closed the door and whispered, "Do you know where the girl is coming from?" ”

Luo Xiaobei scoffed, and said Isn't it that you saw how beautiful the little girl was, and you had a bad heart? But I said that you are really, that girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and you can really talk about it.

I was speechless and whispered, "I rescued her from the ghost gate, do you know, these people actually took the blood of the living." ”

Luo Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and said that the blood sacrifice of the living?

I nodded, and said yes, in front of everyone's eyes, a stone hammer, a few strokes, smashed people's heads to pieces, you have never seen that scene, it is really chilling.

Luo Xiaobei stared at me and said word by word: "So you showed great mercy and saved her from someone else's stone hammer?" ”

I said I can't watch her die, can I?

Luo Xiaobei pushed me hard and shouted loudly: "Lu Yan, are you stupid Boyi? ”
