Banger ran home and looked at his sister who was still working, Banger took Colanti's little hand with a serious face, touched the thin but rough little hand, and said in a particularly hoarse voice: "Colanti, two cows were bitten to death by poisonous snakes." ”

"Let's run away!" Bangil stared into his sister's eyes, feeling that his heart was full of strength, hadn't everything been planned a long time ago?

"But brother, where can we escape, even if the cow is dead, but my brother is so capable, my father and mother will not sell my brother, isn't it good for my brother to stay at home?" said Colanti in a soft voice.

"But they're going to sell you, and I'll never be able to accept that. Bengil took his sister's hand and put it in his heart, and said, "Leave everything to my brother, and we will live together well." ”

"Cole and I have already planned to escape into the forest, and we will definitely survive if we help each other. Signier said firmly, and Colanti nodded, then packed up with Benjil.

They would have been able to bring fur and clothing, and some edible food, and they would have been safer to enter the forest if their father hadn't taken the bow and arrow, but now they can't do that much.

It won't be long before the parents will come back from the village chief, and it won't be long before they find out that their sister is gone, and then they will immediately find out that the cow is dead, and that time is running out for themselves and their sister.

Packing up his things, Banger and Colanti cautiously walked out of the house, avoiding the eyes of their neighbors, although there were not many neighbors now, and most of them were trying to keep themselves alive in a difficult life, and no one would pay special attention to their neighbors.

In a hurry, Bengil and his sister Colanti came to the back of a small hill, where two of Bengil's companions were already waiting.

One of them was none other than Cole, who had been called him, and the other was Udick, a young man about the same age as Bengil.

"Hey, Benjil, why did you bring your sister here?" said Cole as he pulled Bangil over and lowered his voice.

"I'm sorry Cole, but we're planning ahead of schedule. "Because of the accident, we had to run first, and I hope you can come too." ”

"It's not what we said it would be. Bangil's collar was grabbed by Udick angrily, and of course he knew why Udick was angry, because their plan to escape was not today, which would inevitably cause problems such as lack of preparation, which would greatly increase the danger.

"Listen to Udic, plans can never catch up with changes, no matter what, I will run away with Coranti, if you don't follow us, you won't even have a chance to escape. Gasping for breath, Bangil said to the other two, "My parents have gone to the village chief's house for a meeting today, and I think you understand what this means. ”

"Your time is short, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, you will be sacrificed to the great river of black mist. Bengil told the brutal truth: "Today is also your last time. ”

"Damn!" Cole cursed irritably, "Remember, Benjil, you owe us once. ”

In this small forest village, there is a tradition of offering sacrifices to the great river of black fog to pray for peace in the forest, so that hunters can safely enter the forest to hunt.

Hunting is the breadwinner of most people in this village, and it can be said that without hunting, most of the people here would starve to death, and the danger in the forest is not only from wild animals, but also from some mysterious things.

If there is no sacrifice, then no one in this village will dare to approach the forest, and the unknown things hidden in the darkness will eat up anyone who enters the forest, and as a poor village, the only sacrifice is naturally only people.

Cole and Udick, who were part of the sacrifice, were surprised to learn that they were sacrifices, so they began to plan to flee.

It's just that the tradition of this village has been going on for so many years, and it has long prevented others from escaping, consciously or unconsciously, in all aspects, first of all, the road leading to the town, and the village chief's house is erected next to that road, and the village chief has three terrifying big dogs, and anyone who passes by that road will be discovered.

Most of the rest of the roads were wrapped in rivers, and there was only one road leading to the forest, and the horrors of the forest were heard by Bangil since childhood, and if they were not sure that they were sacrifices, they would not have thought of running away into the forest.

But Bengil is for his sister, he can't bear to be used as a commodity, sold to other people, as a slave or a toy, as Colanti gets older, Bengil can sense that his sister will die better in her heart.

That's why after he found out that Cole and Udick planned to escape, he didn't report it, but chose to hide it and join in.

When it came to the end, Udick hesitated: "Do we really want to run away into the forest? It's so dangerous there, and it is said that there are still cannibals." ”

"Do you want to stay here and die?" Bangil, after his hopes of keeping his sister were completely shattered, had come to see escape as the only way, and naturally wanted to have one more person to make the road seem safer.

"Maybe we'll find a candy house. Colanti interjected.

Hearing his sister's words, Bengil pinched her cute little face and said with a smile: "Yes, we will find the candy house in the forest." ”

The candy house in the forest is a legend that has been passed down in the surrounding area.

Legend has it that in this forest, there is a house made of candy, and those who find the candy house can fulfill any wish, and in the rumors, there is also a saying that the reason why the forest is so dangerous is because of the need to protect the candy house, in this barren society, candy, that is a precious food that the nobles are eligible to enjoy.

Compared to people, the candy house is actually similar to the golden house, not to mention the so-called wish fulfillment, and some things in this village seem to be saying that the candy house is not fake.

That is, after the sacrifice every year, the village chief would take his three big dogs to the forest in search of something, the village chief was one of the few wealthy people in the village, and it was rumored that the reason why the village chief did not go to the safer town to live was because of the candy house.

And every once in a while, there are some so-called rangers or something, attracted by the candy house, into the forest to find death.

"Alright, let's go get what we've prepared, we'll gather here later, and since we've decided to go, don't delay. Cole sighed and said that he wanted to survive, so he had to face danger.
