muttering a few words in a low voice, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look called remembrance flashed in his eyes.

"At that time...... Alas......"

A breeze blew, and there was only a dusty stone table and stone bench under the old tree at the entrance of the village, and there was no longer any figure.

There was only a sigh, far away in the night sky.

Inside the village.

Lin Tian was in front and the girl was behind, walking along the path towards the village.

In a short time, a square appeared in front of it, and the square was brightly lit, and the torches lit all around as if it were day.

In the light of the lights, you can clearly see that in the center of the square is a large altar.

On the altar are placed pig's heads, chickens, ducks, beef, fresh vegetables and fruits and other sacrificial objects.

But unlike the regular sacrifices, these sacrifices are all dressed in tripods, which are made of bronze and have a simple shape.

However, what makes people feel strange is that there is no figure on the square, even though the lights are bright.

The surroundings were quiet, and it seemed that even the sound of the wind was no longer sounding, which made the girl who followed Lin Tian subconsciously shiver.

Unconsciously, the girl took two steps to narrow the distance between herself and Lin Tian.

"Here...... It's so weird!"

Leaning over Lin Tian's side, the girl whispered.

Lin Tian: "......" weird, you won't see it now, will you!

Lin Tian was speechless, glanced around the altar, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a sneer appeared.

Turning around, he led the girl towards the village complex.

"Outsider, is there anything wrong with you?"

After walking less than twenty meters, a door opened on the side, and an old man walked out of it.

Seeing Lin Tian and the others, the old man was slightly stunned, and then asked puzzled.

"Hmm. ”

Lin Tian nodded, "We were playing in the mountains, we got lost in the dark, we saw this village, and we wanted to stay here for a night." ”

Listening to Lin Tian's words, the old man's face was filled with a warm smile.

"Oh, it turned out that I came to spend the night, tell you, young man, although our Fengmen Village is located in a remote area, because of the beautiful scenery around it, there are often tourists who come here to visit.

It is easy to get foggy at night, and people often get lost and come to the village to spend the night.

It just so happens that I am the village chief of this Fengmen Village, and the two of you can just stay at my house. ”

As he spoke, the village chief opened the door with an enthusiastic face and invited Lin Tian and the two to walk towards the courtyard.

Lin Tian nodded with a smile.

"So, it's bothered. ”

"Don't bother!

The old man smiled and shook his head, "There are often people like you in the village, and over the years, it has almost become a tradition in our village to entertain people who come to stay overnight.

Therefore, almost every household will have extra rooms, which are for those who come from afar and get lost in the neighborhood to stay overnight. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Qin Ling'er's perception of this village couldn't help but change.

In such a welcoming village, the name of the village must be kind, and her previous worries were completely unnecessary.

Thinking like this, the girl's fear of the village suddenly became less serious.

Although the old man entered the house, the old man prepared tea and cakes for the two of them, and said that they should pad their stomachs first, and that a sacrifice would be held in the village later, and after the sacrifice there would be a bonfire, and there would be a lot of food, so they would not prepare dinner for the two first.

For this, Lin Tian and the girl naturally expressed their gratitude and accepted.

It's not really that I'm lost in the mountains, I've already had dinner, and the girl took the pastry, just politely tasting a piece.

When it came to Lin Tian, he unceremoniously quickly wiped out a plate of pastries, as if this thing was delicious.

After eating pastries and drinking a cup of tea, the old man said that he still needed to preside over the sacrifice in the village, and asked if the two of them were interested in participating, and if they were tired, they could rest in the house first, and after the sacrifice was over, he could ask people to call the two of them during the bonfire party.

Lin Tian didn't care, but the girl who had already let down a lot of guard couldn't help but be curious in her heart after listening to the old man's invitation.

"This ..... Is that okay? Won't it bother?"

The girl's face was moved, but she was afraid of violating other people's taboos.

"It's okay, it's just an ordinary sacrifice, and outsiders can participate. ”

Listening to the old man's answer, the girl was already moved, and turned her head to look at Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, let's go to the sacrifice together, okay?"

"Don't go!"

"Lin Tian ......"

The girl detoured from Lin Tian's left to the right, her voice screaming.

"Don't go!"

Yu Guang glanced at the old man who narrowed his eyes slightly, but Lin Tian still refused.

"Lin Tian ......"

The girl grabbed the corner of Lin Tian's clothes.

"Don't go!"

"Lin Tian ......."

The girl grabbed Lin Tian's wrist and shook it.

"No...... Well, I'm scared of you. ”

Looking at the girl's persistent look, Lin Tian showed a trace of helplessness on his face and changed his words.

"Ye!"

Seeing Lin Tian nodding, the girl jumped up happily and stretched out her hand to make a successful gesture.

Seeing this, the old man flashed a subtle smile seriously, and looked at the girl with a smile on his face.

"Alright, let's go, we'll be late if it's too late. ”

The girl happily followed the old man out of the door, and after coming out this time, the village was no longer as deserted as it was at the beginning, and there were many more pedestrians on the road.

There are men and women, old and young, and when they see the old man, everyone will greet the old man and call him the village chief.

It can be seen that the old man has a high status in the village.

The old man responded with a smile to these people's greetings, and at the same time introduced Lin Tian and the others to these people.

And those villagers heard that Lin Tian and the two were guests staying at the village chief's house, and they all nodded their heads, and some people warmly invited the two to eat more during the bonfire party.

The distance was not far, and after walking dozens of steps, the three of them had reached the edge of the square.

The village chief left after greeting Lin Tian and the girl, and walked up to the altar.

The moment the village chief stood on the altar, the noisy square became silent for a moment, and only the sound of the fire burning was remembered from time to time.

"Villagers, it's the day of the monthly sacrifice again, and tonight is our revelry, and the witch god will bless us forever. ”

Standing on the altar, the village chief spoke at length, and the names of the villages below cheered from time to time.

Finally, the village chief held a scepter in his hand and announced loudly.

"The sacrifice has officially begun, and the sacrifice is served!"

As the village chief's words fell, the crowd burst into cheers again.

A group of young men carried the best items by the altar and placed them, and finally brought a live pig and a live sheep from nowhere.

Listening to the constant mournful cries from the mouths of the pigs and sheep, you don't have to guess to know that this is also one of the sacrifices.

It's just that......

"Why does that sheep only have two legs?"

Pointing to the sheep that had been carried to the altar, the girl asked a villager beside her with curiosity on her face.
