Everyone in Zhaojiazhuang was extremely excited after the sacrificial ceremony, as if the famine had been solved.

A villager came to Zhao Zhonglin's side and asked respectfully, "Village chief, can we go to the river to get water now?" ”

Zhao Zhonglin's heart tightened, he knew clearly, whether this sacrifice was useful or not, if not, wouldn't he be completely exposed if he went at this time?

Zhao Zhonglin hurriedly shook his head, and pretended to be profound: "Lord River God has just decided to help us, so we must not be in a hurry now, we must wait for his next instructions." ”

"Good!"

Under Zhao Zhonglin's flickering, the villager left satisfied.

Soon, another villager came up and said, "Village chief, there are a few outsiders here, and they want to stay here for a few days, you see?" ”

"Outlander?!" Zhao Zhonglin frowned.

"Two men, probably seventeen or eighteen years old, one of them carrying a bamboo box, a woman with a veil, and by the way, a dog with them." The villager hurriedly said.

Zhao Zhonglin just wanted to refuse, in this time period of famine, what he was afraid of was not staying overnight, but food.

The only grain left in their Zhaojiazhuang is not much, and some more people are a burden.

But what the villager said next made Zhao Zhonglin completely unable to refuse.

"They say they have their own food, and they will exchange it for food for their stay!"

"Li Tai'an, does this really have the breath of a strange beast? We've been walking in the woods for days, huh? Lin Yunbo wiped the sweat on his head, looking at the mountains and forests behind him, he really didn't want to go in again.

Li Tai'an shook his head: "I'm not sure where the alien beast is, every time the alien beast record gives me certain instructions, but it's only an approximate direction, and the rest can only be found by myself." ”

After leaving Xingxian, Lin Yunbo followed with a dead face, saying that with Li Tai'an, he could encounter more interesting and interesting things.

After many times of persuasion to no avail, Li Tai'an could only let him follow.

"But to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I had crossed that mountain forest, who would have thought that there would be such a village in the depths of the mountain forest?" Yellow Dog looked at Zhao Jiazhuang in front of him and said.

The strangers who had just asked to stay overnight were them.

Lin Yunbo asked again, "You say, will they let us stay overnight?" If not, aren't we going to camp again? ”

Li Tai'an said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be a big problem, after all, we have our own food, and we can exchange it with food, presumably they shouldn't refuse." ”

As soon as Li Tai'an finished speaking, Zhao Zhonglin came to them under the leadership of the villager who had passed the message.

"Hello young heroes, the old man is the village chief of this Zhaojiazhuang, named Zhao Zhonglin, dare to ask you to exchange food, is it true or false?" Zhao Zhonglin asked uncertainly.

After all, under the influence of this famine, there are really not many people who can exchange food.

Li Tai'an didn't say anything, just put his hand into the bamboo box behind Lin Yunbo, took out two cloth bags, and handed them to Zhao Zhonglin.

"Village Chief Zhao, let's stay for one day and provide five bags of rice, what do you think?"

Zhao Zhonglin hurriedly took the cloth bag and looked at it carefully, it was really crystal clear rice.

Zhao Zhonglin nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Yuan, take the young heroes to rest." ”

So, Li Tai'an and the villagers, under the leadership of the villagers, walked into Zhaojiazhuang.

At this time, the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang had just finished the sacrificial ceremony and were also rushing to the village.

looked at the few people who suddenly appeared, and their eyes were also full of curiosity.

Zhaojiazhuang in the deep mountains generally rarely welcomes outsiders, after all, the mountains and forests are too big.

And Li Tai'an and the others were also looking at the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang with the same curiosity.

"It's all black cloth and long skirts, may I ask this little brother, is this your uniform costume here? Is there anything special about it? Lin Yunbo asked curiously.

The villager shook his head and said, "No, it's just that there are usually major situations, and under the organization of the village chief, we will wear it like this, which looks very solemn." Just now we were performing a sacrificial ritual and asking the river god for rain. ”

"Ritual of sacrifice! It's a pity that I didn't catch up. Will you still be holding rituals recently? Can I take a tour? Lin Yunbo asked expectantly.

The villager shook his head and said, "Not so lately, after all, Lord River God has already answered our prayers." ”

"Is there really a river god?" Hearing this, Lin Yunbo asked again.

Li Tai'an and the others also looked at the little brother curiously, after all, he just said, respond!

"Well, that's what the village chief's grandfather said. Okay, this is your room, guests hurry up and rest, I'll go first. ”

Then, without waiting for Lin Yunbo to stop him, he quickly ran away.

"Hey, why are you running so fast, I still have a lot of things to ask." Lin Yunbo said with pity on his face.

Li Tai'an patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, there is still a lot of time, just ask slowly in the future, let's go in first." ”

With that, he turned around and entered the room.

Zhao Zhonglin provided them with an independent courtyard.

Although there are a lot of rooms, the footprint is not large.

Each room is simple but very welcoming.

As soon as Rouge entered the room, he took off the veil on his face, and then went to choose his room in high spirits.

The yellow dog asked, "Does the Alien Beast record have any reaction?" ”

Li Tai'an nodded and said: "The moment I just entered the village, the strange beast in my arms trembled, although it disappeared quickly, I estimate that even if there are no strange beasts here, there are traces of strange beasts. ”

When Lin Yunbo heard this, his eyes lit up again, and then he looked at Li Tai'an and said, "Before you accept it this time, can you let me study it?" The last time I subdued the Gu Eagle, I couldn't come out again, and I couldn't study it! ”

Li Tai'an shook his head and refused: "Forget it, your research is too terrifying, at first I thought that dissection was something." ”

"Don't, let's discuss it again, autopsy is not a corpse, that's science!"

Li Tai'an ignored Lin Yunbo on the side, under his feelings, the reason for the trembling of the strange beast record came from the east side of the village, and that side happened to be where the villagers came back.

"Could it be that the river god they sacrificed to is a strange beast?"

And after Li Tai'an and the others settled down, on the other side of the village, Zhao Zhonglin also gathered many strong villagers.

"Village Chief, what did you call us for?" Among them, a dark-skinned villager asked.

His name is Zhao Qiang, and he is a well-known green-skinned scoundrel in Zhaojiazhuang.

Zhao Zhonglin didn't answer Zhao Qiang directly, but first looked at Zhao Yuan, who rushed back, and asked, "Xiao Yuan, have they all been settled?" ”

Zhao Yuan is the young man who just led the way for Li Tai'an.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "It's settled, it's Zhao Xiang's home." ”

Zhao Zhonglin nodded, then looked at Zhao Qiang and asked, "You really didn't see Xiaofeng's white bones?" ”

Zhao Qiang grinned and said, "I didn't see it, besides, is the village chief still worried about the effect of the sacrifice?" When you swore your promise, it wasn't like that. ”

"Presumptuous, Zhao Qiang, how did you talk to the village chief!" Zhao Yuan on the side hurriedly scolded.

But Zhao Qiang looked like a scoundrel, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Say whatever you want, you respect him for your business, what does it matter to me?" As for the food promised me, give it to me quickly. ”

"No one is watching, and they are embarrassed to ask for food!" Zhao Yuan snorted and said.

Zhao Qiang stared at Zhao Yuan and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't give it, then don't blame me, shake out the dirty things you did." ”

After saying that, he was ready to walk outside.

"Enough! What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about? At this time, Zhao Zhonglin, who had been silent, got up and said.

"Xiao Yuan, give him food and money first."

Zhao Yuan stared angrily at Zhao Qiang, who was smiling hippie, but in the end, he took out a few bags of food from the room and handed them to Zhao Qiang.

"Thanks to the village chief, then I'll go first."

"Slow, there's one more thing, I'd like to ask you!"

Zhao Zhonglin walked into the room, and after a while, he slowly walked out with a wooden box in his hand, handed it to Zhao Qiang and said, "Find a way to put the things in this room in Zhao Xiang's house, and after success, I will give you two more bags of grain." ”

Zhao Qiang took the wooden box and just wanted to open it to take a look.

Zhao Zhonglin opened his mouth and said: "I advise you not to open it, otherwise don't talk about the two bags of grain in the back, you may not even be able to take away what you just got." ”

Zhao Qiang's hand stopped suddenly, he was very clear about Zhao Zhonglin's methods.

"Roger!"

After Li Tai'an and the others cleaned up everything, they sat down at the dinner table, and the small table was already full of many exquisite meals.

In this time of famine, this table of food is worth more than silver.

"The meals cooked by Sister Rouge are getting better and better!" Lin Yunbo said with a grin.

Li Tai'an on the side also nodded, and said admiringly: "Indeed! ”

There was a faint smile on the corner of Rouge's mouth, and he asked softly: "You take out so much food, aren't you afraid that he will target you?" ”

Li Tai'an said indifferently: "This famine is a disaster, we have a lot of food, we can take it out." As for the rest of the matter, there is no need to worry about anything, can they still take away the grain you grow from the twin pots? ”

After the Gu Eagle was subdued, the twin pots became ownerless.

When Li Tai'an left, he also brought it with him.

The twin pots, as an imitation of the ancient magic weapon Haotian Tower, are self-contained in the pot.

Coupled with all kinds of wonderful effects, Li Taian is also very fond of it.

But he was far from expecting that the first person to use the twin pot was Rouge, which he hated extremely much at first.

She entered the twin pots, built a small hut, and planted a lot of food on the outside of the hut.

This is also the reason why Li Tai'an and the others, in this era of famine, were able to come up with a lot of food.

"Tonight, Lin Yunbo and I will go to see the place where they sacrifice, I estimate that the breath of the alien beast comes from there." Li Tai'an looked at Lin Yunbo and said.

"You should also pay attention to safety at home, although there is no danger, but for some reason, I always have a bad feeling."
