33 Sacrifices
After Su Li and the others walked for a long time, they came to a small closed village, there are many such villages in the local area, some of them are in contact with the outside world, some are occasionally in contact with the outside world, and some do not interact with the outside world at all. The village they came to today is the kind of village that is completely cut off from the outside world, and does not interact with the outside world.
This is the most primitive village, almost never completely out of the primitive state of ignorance, the scenery of the village is so quiet that people linger. It seems that after coming to this kind of place, everyone subconsciously lowered their voices, in order to prevent breaking their peaceful life. After walking for a while, they found that there was no one on the road in the village, and the houses were closed, so Jiang Tong sent people to knock on the doors of several houses, but no one responded.
"Could this be an uninhabited village?" Ye Siyin asked.
"Probably not, there are still water stains at the well in the village, and someone should have just finished fetching water from there." Jiang Tong looked at the well and said, he had already observed it when he walked through the well.
"There may be something wrong, they went out together, let's look around." Weng Hua proposed.
Everyone nodded in agreement, Cheng Shiyang looked at Su Li, who had been alone, and said, "Reporter Su, you come with us." ”
Although Su Li was reluctant, he still followed them in a group, because letting her follow Jiang Tong and Ye Siyin would feel more heartbroken.
"Why do you want me to be with you?" Su Li muttered as he walked.
"Do you want to be in a group with them, or don't be someone else's light bulb?" Weng Hua said.
Su Li pouted and said, "Am I not a light bulb now, alas~ Really, I'm alone, miserable." ”
Weng Hua and Cheng Shiyang walked hand in hand, but now that Su Li said this, he was embarrassed, Cheng Shiyang naturally let go of Weng Hua's hand, stepped forward to stop Su Li's arm and said: "Oh, don't say that, why are you alone, aren't there still Captain Yu." ”
"By the way, why did he go today? Why didn't you follow? Cheng Shiyang asked again.
"I don't know, I said that my brother-in-law was looking for him." Su Li replied, and then teased Cheng Shiyang and said, "Why are you coming here to pull me, my senior brother will be jealous like you, and it will be time to beat me in a while." As he spoke, he half-pushed and half-pushed Cheng Shiyang back to Weng Hua's side.
"Alas~ You girl with no conscience, when did I beat you." Weng Hua asked dissatisfiedly.
"Look, look, he's angry, good sister-in-law, go back quickly." Su Li looked at Cheng Shiyang with a pitiful look and said.
"Really, I carried a pot for no reason, you wait for me, I have to beat you today." Weng Hua's words were a joke.
Su Li was also half-joking and half-serious, and when Weng Hua came over, he used Cheng Shiyang as an arrow shield, Cheng Shiyang was between Su Li and Weng Hua, and was made big by them, and said: "Oh, okay, you two naïve ghosts, don't stop quickly." ”
said that they were naïve ghosts, but Su Li intensified his efforts, and stuck out his tongue at Weng Hua, who couldn't beat him, and said, "Slightly, you can't hit it." ”
After speaking, she gently pushed, pushed Cheng Shiyang into Weng Hua's arms, and ran away by herself. Weng Hua hurriedly caught Cheng Shiyang to prevent her from falling, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Cheng Shiyang replied.
Hearing her say that it was okay, Weng Hua was relieved that Su Li had already run out for a while at this time, and he didn't forget to turn around and make a grimace at the two. Cheng Shiyang looked at her and couldn't laugh a little, but Weng Hua warned: "You wait for me, don't be caught by me, if you catch you, you'll be finished." After saying that, he ran to catch Su Li.
Su Li ran and suddenly saw a person, although that person was just a flash, but she still saw it, they came here to find someone, Su Li stopped, planning to wait for Weng Hua and Cheng Shiyang to come and follow together.
"I said it, don't be caught by me, you girl, it's just ......" Weng Hua, who came up, saw that Su Li didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he planned to teach him a lesson first.
"No, I just saw someone." Su Li interrupted Weng Hua's words and said.
"People? Who? Weng Huahu asked suspiciously, thinking that Su Li was deliberately asking in order to escape his scolding.
Su Li pointed to the place where the person disappeared just now and said, "He went over there, let's go up and have a look." ”
"Why did you stop here?" Cheng Shiyang asked after following up.
"I see someone passing over there, let's go up and have a look." Su Li replied that he would set off first, and Weng Hua and Cheng Shiyang followed.
They came all the way to a house and stopped, this house was different from the other houses they saw along the way, it was taller than those houses, it seemed to be very spacious from the outside, and there was some smell of burning herbs from inside, Su Li liked this smell very much, and unconsciously walked forward, from the door frame, she saw that there were many people gathered in the yard, men, women and children. They seemed to be surrounding something, and everyone had a serious expression on their faces.
Among these people, the most eye-catching is a middle-aged man, with a lot of decorations on his body, his face painted with flowers, and a similar magic weapon in his hand, singing and dancing around the courtyard, his words Su Li didn't understand, and he didn't know what he was singing.
"It's supposed to be a festival or something, so it's no wonder that there is no one in the village, so I guess it's all gathered here." Cheng Shiyang went up to see it and said that she had been in South Sudan for a long time, so she knew about the activities of some villagers.
"What are you looking at?" Just as the three of them were watching, Jiang Tong's voice appeared behind them. It turned out that the two of them set off from different directions, but in the end they came together.
Su Li was taken aback because he was too focused, and instinctively shouted in response: "Hey, Mom, I'm scared to death." Her reaction was so violent that she accidentally slammed open the courtyard door.
The heavy wooden door was opened, the sound was a little harsh, everyone didn't expect Su Li to open the door in this way, they were a little caught off guard, disturbing others to do sacrifices, I don't know if there will be any trouble.
The people in the courtyard were concentrating on their business, but they were interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and everyone looked at them in unison.
The person who was presiding over the sacrifice inside said something to everyone, and everyone left from their original positions and walked towards Su Li and the others. I didn't understand what they were trying to do, but it didn't look like a good thing on their faces. However, it was also because they left their original position that Su Li and the others saw what they were surrounding just now, and they were surrounded by a few people just now, who were put on the wooden board, and they should have quilts on their bodies, and they couldn't see their appearance clearly.
Everyone walked towards Su Li and the others, and when they walked to the door, they seemed to be going to get something, and after taking it out, they saw that it was a weapon, but these were not real weapons, they were all made of wooden sticks and the like, and the most powerful one was the kind with a knife tied to the wooden stick. It can be said to be a very original weapon.
Su Li realized that his behavior just now had disturbed them, they were a little angry, and when they looked around, they were actually at the front, and they couldn't help but be a little scared. But after all, he is the culprit, and it seems a little inappropriate to retreat at this time, so he can only stand in place.
Weng Hua saw Su Li at the front, and pulled her behind him very righteously, and at the same time, Jiang Tong also led the team over, becoming a barrier for medical staff and members of the press station.
"We are a Chinese peacekeeper, and we are here to treat patients with infectious diseases, and we do not mean to disturb you." Jiang Tong tried to communicate with them in the local language.
"You have interrupted our rituals and interrupted our efforts to heal our loved ones, and the chiefs will make you pay." One of them said.
At this time, the two sides have formed a confrontation situation, but no one has acted first, presumably those people should be a little scared when they see the gun in the hands of Jiang Tong and the others, mainly because they are afraid that they will be in trouble if they don't know the power of the gun.
Jiang Tong was happy that the two sides were able to communicate in words, and it was much easier to talk to each other, and when he heard them say that they wanted to heal their relatives, he was even more happy, and said, "We have doctors, they can treat the injured." As he spoke, he also pointed to the medical staff, which was considered to be a corroboration of what he said.
"What are they talking about?" Ye Siyin asked Su Li quietly on the side.
Su Li shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it should be resolving the contradiction." After speaking, Su Li thought that this should be a good news material, so he took out his camera and began to take pictures.
"These people are here to hurt us and get them out." Said the chief in the back.
Having received the chieftain's order, the people waved their weapons and drove them away. Cheng Shiyang has been silently observing during this process, and by chance, she saw the few people placed in the courtyard, one of whom had his arm slipped from the quilt, and he looked like a person infected with an infectious disease.
"The person on the wooden board inside seems to be infected with an infectious disease, and I have to find a way to get in and make further confirmation." Cheng Shiyang said to Jiang Tong.
Jiang Tong nodded, indicating that he understood what she meant, so he ordered the soldiers to move forward on the premise of not harming the other party, that is, they could not shoot or use force unless it was an emergency. The villagers brandished their weapons to drive them away, and the soldiers confronted the villagers with their guns as sticks.
Finally had a gap, Weng Hua and Cheng Shiyang took advantage of the chaos to squeeze in, but were quickly stopped by the chief and the people around him, Su Li and Ye Siyin saw that it was not good, and also took the opportunity to squeeze in to help them, so the three of them were the three chiefs and others, and Cheng Shiyang walked to the wooden board alone to check the situation of the people above.
When she saw the faces of those people, she basically confirmed that they were infected with an infectious disease, and she touched the foreheads of those people one by one, and there were obvious signs of fever, judging from their weak state, this sign was likely to have lasted for a short time.
"How's it going?" Weng Hua finally got rid of the entanglement of a person, came over and squatted next to Cheng Shiyang and asked.
"It's an infected person and needs to be sent back to the station for treatment." Cheng Shiyang looked at Weng Hua and said.
Just as the two were talking, the person lying on the wooden board suddenly got up, Weng Hua instinctively pulled Cheng Shiyang away, but his neck was slid from the fingernail by the man.
Everyone who saw this scene was surprised, because if the injured person was infected, Weng Hua was likely to be infected with the disease.
