Chapter 288: Burning Abyss

The gathering place of the tribe is large, including hundreds of thousands of people, and stands like a ball on this land. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking on the path, you can see houses of different heights, simple construction of inferior wooden sheds, and the road is also potholes, not only mixed with dark black feces, but even a huge mosquito fly, flying over the dark and foul-smelling ditch.

There are not many people on the side of the road, even if they see only some old, weak, sick and disabled appearances, in the "Jiang" tribe, unless they are too old to walk, most of the tribesmen will not stay at home, because this not only means that they have lost their ability to work, but also bring a heavier burden to the already heavy family.

In this era, most people only have these two purposes, one is to fill their belly, and the other is to work hard to reproduce their offspring.

When the little girl and Abba arrived at the altar, there was already a large crowd gathered to pay homage to the statues of the gods on the altar.

For tribes like "Jiang", there is often more than one god of faith, for example, the god in front of him is the legendary Zhusheng Niangniang, according to legend, she is the god in charge of reproduction, can give mortals the ability to give birth to children, for the clansmen who value reproduction, there are probably few gods more important than her.

Abba folded his hands and muttered to himself at the clay statue, and then Abba took the little girl to the three thatched huts not far behind the altar.

In the courtyard of the thatched house, there is a large bronze tripod that is over the waist, and there is an incense table behind the tripod, and a flame is lit from the brazier in the incense case.

Black smoke lingered in the air, and a distinctive smell permeated.

The little girl sniffed it, and didn't seem to be very used to the smell, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Abba gave her a few words, and then with a solemn expression, he walked into one of the thatched huts.

The little girl stood outside, looking around a little boredly, and when she caught a glimpse of the brazier on the incense table, her eyelids jumped.

The brazier was not burning with charcoal or the same black oil, but as the scarlet, blood-like liquid burning in the iron brazier.

Trying not to let herself look in that direction, the little girl's face turned slightly pale, but when she glanced at something not far away, it slightly made her pupils shrink.

Under the eaves of the thatched house, a large number of white shards appeared, except for a narrow stone path that led to the thatched house, and that kind of thing appeared everywhere, and when you looked closely, it seemed that the bones of some kind of creature were crushed by the tremendous pressure and poured evenly into the courtyard.

Probably noticing that there was something strange about this hut, the little girl lowered her head slightly, and did not dare to look around.

After a cup of tea, someone came out of the thatched hut, and the little girl looked up, only to find that it was a strangely dressed man wearing an ugly mask, and Abba stood behind the man, speaking respectfully.

The strange man with the mask came to the little girl, looked at her with a creepy gaze, and only looked at Abba on the side for a long time, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You are talking about her?"

Abba nodded slightly, and before he could say anything, the masked freak was already silent, and turned and walked towards the thatched house.

At this time, the little girl realized that this masked strange figure had a very round figure and looked like a middle-aged woman.

Abba chased after him, and the faint sound of the two could be heard, but the sound disappeared in the thatched hut with the figures of the two, and finally gradually faded away, and it was difficult to hear it anymore.

This time, Abba stayed in it a little longer, and it wasn't until half a pillar of incense that he walked out with a sigh of relief, and waved at the little girl.

He held a string of things in his hand, and after walking out of the thatched hut with the little girl, he reached out slightly and handed it to her..."It's finally done......

It is a string of sky-blue shells with a delicate texture and exceptional sturdiness.

On the top of the shell, a complex font can be faintly seen, which is the character "Jiang" written in mythology, which is an important credential for the "Jiang" tribe to prove their identity.

In fact, when the little girl and the killer entered the gathering place, although they got two strings of shells, but in terms of practical use, the previous shells were just a temporary certificate, and did not have much effect, only the string in front of them was the official clan of "Jiang", and they could enjoy the protection of the tribe's armed forces, as well as the qualifications to exchange labor and merit for food and rights, and in the "Jiang" with a perfect system, this identity is extremely important, because in addition to the gods, this is a tribal right that even the leader cannot deprive.

Before going to the "over" land, Kill Shengren had specially instructed Abba to do this, even if he didn't know the complicated factors, it was not an easy thing in itself, but fortunately, Kill Chengren had left a palm-sized piece of metal for Abba to give to the priest to dredge.

As clergy who communicate with the gods, these priests like strange things the most, so when Abba took out the metal block, the words that he had painstakingly spoken before seemed to magnify the effect dozens of times in the next moment.

This reaction made Abba a little dumbfounded, even a little uncomfortable, although after leaving the thatched hut, Abba has not shown this emotion, but on the way back, he was a little depressed after all.

While crossing a small road, the intersection was blocked by many people, who straightened their necks slightly and stood there watching the excitement.

As the two walked over, someone greeted Abba and said hello.

It was a middle-aged man with a somewhat hunched back, who just glanced at the little girl slightly, and then set his eyes on Aba.

His words were a little polite, first expressing his worries about the time when Abba disappeared, and then expounding on the joy he had after Abba returned, until the two chattered for a long time, and seeing that the atmosphere was good, the middle-aged man turned around and asked Abba if he had any extra food to lend him in an unobtrusive tone.

Under this sonorous and frustrating language offensive, Abba has been a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the other party, until the middle-aged man hugged him fiercely, and thanked Abba with a very sincere expression, and then, he looked at the sun in the sky, indicating that he still had some things, and then patted Aba's arm, turned around and disappeared into the crowd, until this time, Abba came back to his senses a little, and asked the little girl a little stammering.."I, did I promise him what just now?"

"Yes!" the little girl looked at him strangely, not understanding why he asked.

"Then I—What did I promise him?" Abba looked as if he was about to cry, his expression was a little strange, at least in the eyes of the little girl.

"You promised to lend him food...... the little girl gave him a blank look, and couldn't help blinking her eyes and asked, "You don't even remember what you promised him, do you?"

"I'm ......" Abba opened his mouth, scratched his head, and finally slapped his forehead fiercely...

"Uh......" The little girl was slightly stunned and looked at him with wide eyes.."Why did you hit you?...... What's wrong with that man?" she glanced slightly in the direction of the man she had just left, and blinked slightly.

Seeing this, Abba nodded a little embarrassedly.."That's the son of the old uncle, a little ...... Anyway, he would never pay back the food he lent him, so Abba told me that he couldn't lend him food. "If he says something bad about people, he can't say it after all, but the little girl has always been precocious, and she can probably understand a little.

"Then why did you promise him if your father had warned you?" the little girl was a little strange.

"I don't know...... "Abba scratches his head.."Every time I talk to him, I get dizzy from him, and then ...... It's what it is. ”

"Well, it seems that this person is very cunning, the next time I meet him, just stay away from him. ”

As the little girl said this, Abba pursed her lips and nodded fiercely.

"By the way, Abago, are there so many people on this road every day?" looked at the dense figure blocking in front of her, the little girl asked a little strangely.

"How can it be, you have to work ......" Abba was tall and strong, but he just cocked his toes slightly, and when he crossed the black pressed head, he saw some scenes on the side of the road.

It was a group of heavily armed tribal warriors, holding bright metal spears, and at this time there were some ragged people in the distance on their torsos, these people were unkempt, most of them also had some scarlet blood stains, their hands and feet were slightly tied with hemp rope, and they were dressed in a long string, and they were led into the distance by the tribal warriors like cattle.

Also as a tribal warrior, Abba certainly understood what was going on, but a small tribe gathering place around was swept by tribal warriors, and the population of those gathering places naturally became the trophies of "Jiang", he explained what he saw to the little girl, the little girl blinked when she heard this, and asked with some curiosity: "Then what will these people do with them after they are arrested?"

"Uh......" Abba scratched his head, "Most of them will become slaves to reclaim the wasteland outside the tribe, and only a small part of the tribe will pardon their slave status after a small number of them have made a contribution, but most of them will never wait for that day." ”

Hearing Ba say this, the little girl was a little silent, she probably knew that if the small gathering place where she lived was discovered, she might also end up like this.

While thinking in a mess, the tribal warriors had escorted hundreds of slaves into the distance, and the people blocking the intersection gradually dispersed, and occasionally the sound of deliberately suppressed chattering could be heard.

When following Abba back, the little girl looked a little absent-minded all the time, until Abba suddenly stopped, and she hit Abba on the back.

The strong and powerful Abba was as hard as a wall, and the little girl grinned in pain, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head...... Huh?"

When he looked up slightly, he really caught a glimpse of the courtyard of Aba's house, and looked inside over the earthen wall, and could vaguely see the scene in the courtyard, in addition to some raised creatures, there were two men standing there, looking at the things in the yard with great interest.

Abba subconsciously frowned, pulled her legs and ran towards the courtyard, and the little girl shouted "Wait for me" and ran behind her.

Before she could catch her breath, she heard Aba's suppressed questioning......... Who is it?"

In his courtyard, two powerful strangers suddenly appeared, which obviously aroused Aba's jealousy.

He clenched his fists slightly, staring fiercely at the two hanging guys.

However, the two guys didn't respond to him, just glanced at him faintly, and then stood there quietly with their arms crossed, looking provocative.

"You two...... Why did you come to my house?" Aba's face turned red, and the green tendons on his neck also flareted slightly, but when he saw the six shells hanging from the other party's neck, his pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In "Jiang", most of the people who carry the six shells are small leaders in the tribe, although they are not very powerful characters, but after all, they are the backbone of the tribe.

His father Lao Ah Shui has worked hard all his life to be in this position, but there are two people standing at the door of his house at this time, which naturally makes him a little puzzled, especially the place where these two people are guarding is still his father Lao Ah Shui's house.

"Abago, don't be impulsive—" At this time, the little girl also ran over, panting and reaching out to tug Aba.

She probably also sensed that these two people were not easy to mess with, so she planned to ask clearly, and then said, "Are the two of you here to find Uncle Shui?"

The two of them didn't pay attention to Abba before, but when the little girl asked, her eyes lit up slightly, although this little girl is not very beautiful, but she is better than the obvious difference between her fair skin and those tribal women who work all year round, not to mention, this little girl also has a different temperament.

Therefore, a man raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the little girl with fiery eyes, and said, "We are the guards under Lord Lieyuan's account, and when we came here, we naturally wanted to find something with Lao Ah Shui, but you ......" He glanced at the little girl up and down, "Who are you?"

As he said this, the man on the side frowned, "I haven't heard of it, Lao Ah Shui still has a daughter?"

The two glanced at each other, and then when they landed on the little girl's neck, they suddenly narrowed their eyes slightly..."It was originally a desolate ......" The two sneered slightly, and the smile was ill-intentioned, and Abba was very harsh to hear.

"Who said she was a desolate person...... Abba widened his eyes and raised the little girl's hand, revealing the shells on her hands.."This is the supreme sacrifice from the gods to pray for the "Bei He", it is a gift from the gods, you question her identity, you are questioning the gods have eyes and no beads!"

The honest Abba said this, which suddenly made the faces of the two men change slightly......
