Chapter 22: Sacrifice
For a while, there were complaints in the cage, and the girls complained one after another, but the content was almost the same, they were all sold by the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family, and those demons did not dare to arrest people with great fanfare, but in this world, money can solve many problems.
Feng Qi listened for a while, got up from the ground and walked to the door of the cage, a fist could not be stretched out from the gap in the round wooden railing, but he could see the outside clearly, and saw that there were many people in the cage opposite, at first glance it should be some young teenagers.
Boy, girl, the sealed land of the demon general Qingye......
Hell, she might be going to be sacrificed?!
Feng Qi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, she was a dignified demon general Feng Qi, and she was caught to sacrifice the demon general Qingye, this is going to be spread, it is estimated that the righteous path inside and outside the Three Realms will roll on the ground with laughter!
Even in order to maintain the righteousness of the world, she cannot be sacrificed here, but ...... She could have waited a little longer.
The number of sacrifices is not enough, if the demon world wants to open the demon general Qingye, she is also happy to sit back and enjoy it, of course, provided that she will not be reduced to a sacrifice.
Feng Qi walked up to the slightly older girl and sat down, took off her shoes leisurely, rubbed her numb feet, and chatted, "How long have you been here?" Did those demons say anything? ”
It's different when I'm a little older, I seem more calm than others, at least I won't cry as soon as I open my mouth, "I've been here for five days, those demons...... Every day, I bought people from the town down the mountain, but I never said anything. ”
In fact, Feng Qi also knew that he couldn't find any news, so he nodded and asked, "How did you get sold?" How much? ”
The girl didn't mind, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it's similar to them, I am from the Yao family's noodle shop in the town, and my father has never let me get married, so I stayed in the shop to help." As a result, a fortune teller came and said that my daughter is a big father, and the older she is, the more she will be. He was in a hurry to marry me off, and he asked several families one after another, but they only gave me a bride price of two hundred taels, and when he heard that the mountain had received four hundred taels, he sold me. ”
Feng Qi was a little angry, how could this be reasonable! Ordinary girls can sell it for four hundred taels, but she clearly saw that the demon threw it to An Wantian for only two hundred taels! Where is she not as valuable as an ordinary girl?!
Swallowing a breath of evil, Feng Qi asked again, "Does your family know what they sold you for?" ”
"Probably nothing good." The smile on the girl's face was bitter, but it seemed to be open, "Father only said that it would be good to sell me to those demons as slaves and maids, but for so many days when we came in, they only gave us water to drink, but no food, I am afraid they don't expect us to serve." ”
Feng Qiran nodded, that is nature, sacrifice, just take a breath, you are hungry and your legs and feet are soft and save you from struggling in vain, the demon's calculations have always been so picky.
And she is also among the sacrifices now, starvation, is a big problem, whether she is reborn or not, this ordinary mortal body only drinks water and does not eat, at most she will live for seven or eight days.
But the bigger problem is that even if you can hold on to it, you will be hungry if you don't eat a meal.
Feng Qi groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Those demons won't let us get out alive." ”
There was a sudden silence in the cage, and everyone listened to Yao Bailing's experience and cried while listening, although they all had the realization that they might not be able to live, but someone said it so exactly, it meant despair.
A moment later, the cries in the cage exploded again, and the crying was heart-rending and the whole cave roared.
Feng Qi planned to wait for them to cry enough before talking, but unexpectedly, someone on the other side of the juvenile cage shouted first, "What are you crying for?!" Just know to cry! It's noisy!! ”
The girl was always vigorous, and suddenly made a fuss and said, "What's wrong with us crying?!" Don't make people cry yet?! If you want to be a man, you guys should think of a way to get us out?! ”
"Isn't that just a way to do it?! Let you quarrel, you can't think of anything, cry and cry, and cry anymore!! ”
"No one can get out anyway! No one can live! We're crying! You can't survive either!! ”
"Women are trouble!"
"Men just don't work!"
On both sides is a group of half-grown children arguing in a mess, the more noisy the more excited, the more noisy the more desperate, no one can get out, crying is not the way, but it seems to ...... All that was left was crying.
And when both sides were tired of arguing, Feng Qi said quietly: "Have you ever heard of nine dogs and a mastiff?" There is water and no food, who can survive to the end, I am afraid that it is the people who those demons want to stay. ”
The boy asked, "How do you know?!" ”
"Believe it or not."
There was silence in the cages on both sides for a while, ordinary mortals don't know what nine dogs and one mastiff are, but they can always understand the words in the back, whoever can survive to the end can get the appreciation of the demons and can live.
How can you survive without water and food?
The whole cave was silent for a long, long time, and suddenly, the cage on the boy's side was the first to appear, I don't know what happened, and I don't know who made the first move, and it seemed that there was a fight inside. The figures were crowded, the fists were muffled, and it seemed that in a short period of time, more than a dozen people were divided into several groups, and gradually, as the commotion subsided, there was a faint smell of blood over there.
Feng raised his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows, this is human nature, some have been sold for seven or eight days and are dying, and some have just been sold in and are still quarrelling, but without exception, everyone wants to get out alive.
More than a dozen people who are not relatives and non-relatives have been locked up together, for a long time, their words and deeds are exposing whether they are strong or weak, the so-called weak and strong do not need to be forced to a desperate situation at all, only need an opportunity, everyone has a hidden demon in their hearts, but it is just deep or shallow.
And the girl's cage here, subtle changes are also taking place, people say that the most poisonous is not a woman's heart, don't look at the weakness of women, many things, men can do it, women can do the same.
No one is the delicate daughter of the family, born by the mountains and rivers, the daughter of the village family, will not be soft when killing pigs and dogs.
More than a dozen girls were quietly divided into four groups, and those who had strength would also choose strong helpers, and their friends on weekdays also formed a group, and their eyes naturally did not turn to Feng Qi, who had just come in, but the girl who had fainted from hunger in the corner.
Suddenly, someone took the lead and reached out and pinched the girl's neck.
Feng Qi raised his head and screamed, "Ah!! Killing!! ”
This scream was like a rainbow, without the chaos of quarrels, but it conveyed a terrifying news.
Before the screams fell, only a few whirring sounds were heard, and the four male banshees came almost like the wind, slammed the knife in their hands at the wooden pillar of the cage, and shouted: "What are you doing?!" Who would dare to kill here?! ”
The girls shrank one after another, but the male demon had already smelled the smell of blood in the cave, and hurriedly ran to the side of the young man's cage to check, and sure enough, a person died.
The male demon was furious, "Who told you to kill people here?!" Don't you want to live?! ”
The teenagers trembled, and suddenly someone mustered up the courage and said: "Since only those who survive to the end can go out, then the winner is king!" ”
"Nonsense! Says who?! Who said that those who lived to the end could get out?! ”
The teenagers were silent, and the male demon walked to the girl's cage again, and asked viciously, "Who said that?!" ”
Feng Qi said: "Me." ”
The male demon naturally knew this woman who had just come in and arranged their demon world genealogy, and he felt even more troubled for a while, and asked, "Why are you provoking them to kill each other?!" ”
Feng Qi swore and said: "I didn't provoke them to kill each other, I just said that my family used to raise dogs for a living, and those nine dogs and a mastiff were also given water and not food, and those who could survive without starvation were the best." ”
"Nonsense! Why do you think we want to survive in the end?! ”
"I guess."
Banshee: "......"
The male demon in the lead turned pale, and shouted angrily: "No one is allowed to kill people here, otherwise, don't blame any of us!" ”
Feng Qi nodded leisurely, since it is going to be sacrificed, it must be a living person, and those demons will never allow the people here to die early. The birth sacrifice formation usually requires forty-nine teenagers and girls, and the number is obviously even worse, and there are so many people in Maple Leaf Town in total, and it is a great loss to die more.
And once the signs of killing are ignited, they can't be extinguished by those demons in a few words.
Sure enough, as Feng Qi expected, it didn't take long for the four male banshees to go and return, bringing two bags of steamed buns.
Feng Qi's appearance actually begged for food, and everyone in the cage could get one, gobbling it up, and then looking at her with a slightly different gaze, the girl who was more organic and good things came over, and said crisply: "Sister, I see that you are always rubbing your feet, is your foot injured?" I learned bone-setting techniques from my father in my early years, so I'll help you knead it. ”
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, in fact, it was useless to rub it, hemp was still numb, caused by resentment, but it was comfortable to rub it in the end.
The girl knelt on the ground, held Fengqi's feet, and suddenly exclaimed: "Sister, you are beautiful, even your feet are so good-looking, and you are smart, even those demons have nothing to do with you, I think...... Are you here to save our Bodhisattva? ”
Although she doesn't wear thousands of sycophants, Feng Qi is really not a living Bodhisattva, she only smiled leisurely, "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is all fate, whether it is life or death, it has long been determined." If it is worth dying, if you are a man in the next life, you can also exchange it for a lifetime of glory. ”
But where did the girl in the village understand this, she just said sweetly: "Being able to meet my sister is the creation of our life, I don't want to be rich and glorious in the next life, my sister is a living Bodhisattva, and I will be blessed in this life." ”
And someone took the lead, someone followed, hula, Feng Qi surrounded seven or eight people, a fairy sister, a living Bodhisattva, competing to beat Feng Qi's shoulders and feet, racking his brains to say a basket of good words, but squeezed the older girl who was honest and honest to the side.
It seems that hope has risen in everyone's hearts, but to put it bluntly, to stay in a cage is to wait for death. Only Feng Qi's death process is not unbearable, although there is no brocade clothes and jade food, but eat and drink without worry, the next day passed, she also asked the four demons for a whole roast pork leg, those demons in order not to let her regenerate any moths, even agreed.
