On the first day of the new year, Eleven did not go for a run, but just after dawn, he waited with nearly half of the guards in the hunting and smuggling position. Eleventh was on the way to come with Li Siju and others, and I learned that the main activity on the first day of the Lunar New Year here is for people on both sides of the strait to participate in the sacrifice together. The wooden stakes that are being nailed in front of the site will not only be used to provide the river crossing, but also to be used in the first competition of the Spring Festival.

It was foggy and cold, but the men in the hazy fog had already taken off their shirts to reveal their muscles and lines. Eleven tried to find a stone to sit down and look up at the scene, recalling the legend of the giant in the mountains he had heard when he was a child. It was a beautiful story, and Eleven couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Eleven, are you feeling better?" At this time, Li Dongxi brought a few team members to Eleven and asked with concern.

Eleven: "Me? It's okay, aren't you drinking slices? You didn't drink less wine on me last night, and now you care about my body again? ”

Li Dongxi has been looking around this morning when he heard that Eleven is also coming, because since Li Caixia told him that Eleven's strange illness must ensure a good rest, he hadn't even knocked on the door of the Great Elder's house for the past three months. But last night, because I drank too much and saw such a missing Eleven, I forgot about such an important thing, and I chased after Eleven to do at least a whole jar of wine, which was really guilty, so now I have to apologize to Eleven in person: "Hey, blame me yesterday, I also drank too much, Brother Eleven is fine." Oh, by the way, there will be a special ox cart for carrying sacrificial things in a while, and this time the work of pulling the cart is done by our family, or you can sleep for a while. ”

Eleven: "It's not so delicate, it's okay to sleep less once in a while." Besides, you are also messing around, the sacrifice is such a solemn thing, and you don't sacrifice me, what is the matter if I lie down. Hahaha"

Li Dongxi: "That... ”

Eleven: "Haha, don't worry. My three months of retreat were not a waste of time. After the sacrifice, you can start planning your move. I've heard that some people have even demolished their houses and moved away, so don't blame me for not warning you in advance because of the lack of time. ”

Li Dongxi's expression suddenly became embarrassed: "But... ”

Li Caixia, who was behind her, hurriedly interrupted: "Brother Eleven is so confident, it seems that he has indeed recovered well, so I should really prepare in advance when I go back and tell my family." Haha"

Eleven didn't care, he woke up this time and now he had already found out that everyone was hiding something from him, but he trusted everyone so he didn't ask.

"Yo~~~" suddenly let out a high-pitched long drink, startled Eleven, and quickly stood up and looked at the place where the sound came from, but the fog was thick and I couldn't see it clearly, but it was certain that the sound came from the other side.

"Hey~~~~" A more powerful voice came from the big man who nailed the stake. Then the whole audience fell silent, and after a while an arrow with a long tail suddenly appeared near the stake. Then the second arrow, then the third, the fourth... Eleven didn't look at it, but it was estimated that at least ten arrows had been fired before it finally stopped.

Then someone took the arrow and pulled up the rope, and the rope slowly changed from a thin thread to a twine, and then from hemp rope to a thick braided rope, and finally a wrist-thick chain was pulled up. It seems that this is the chain bridge.

A chain bridge composed of iron chains and wood was completed in just half an hour from the rope to the passage, and Eleven followed the team on the bridge, but he didn't expect this temporary bridge to be quite solid. Eleven couldn't help but start to wander again, thinking about this seemingly backward world, but there were many things that didn't make sense.

When Eleven came back to his senses, he found that he was already in a denser crowd, and it should be the two sides meeting here. Everyone seemed to be surrounding a clearing in front of them, and there seemed to be some kind of giant object in the center of the clearing.

Li Dongxi and Eleven squeezed to the front of the crowd little by little, and Eleven couldn't help but swallow when he saw the scene in front of him. Turning his head to look at Li Dongxi, who was smiling: "What do the cows you pull the cart here usually eat?" ”

Li Dongxi: "Ah?。。。 Grass, grass... bar. ”

Eleven looked at the three-meter-tall giant bull seriously and sighed, "I'm afraid it's a demon beast." Biting? ”

Li Dongxi reacted: "Don't bite, this is not a demon beast, it's just a bigger cow, except that the body shape is the same as that of ordinary cows." The eleventh brother spine snake was not shocked, and it seemed that he was still a little nervous when he saw this cow. ”

Eleven realized that he was indeed a little nervous, and the downward pressure of his body and the tense nerves were clearly in a posture of imminent action. "Who said I wasn't shocked that time, I was scared every time."

Li Dongxi smiled: "You? It was the other party who was scared a lot. Haha"

"Yo, this is Li Shiyi, who has been very evil recently, right? It's not that 'black' when it looks like it." Suddenly, seven or eight people walked from the opposite side, led by a handsome man dressed luxuriously. At first glance, it looks almost on par with Li Junjie, but if Li Junjie is allowed to wear his outfit, he will definitely be more handsome.

Eleven wondered how the other party could recognize him. After the last molt, I guess I'm whiter than many croppers. This is actually the subjective opinion of eleven people, his blackness is actually more obvious than others, his blackness is really black black, a bit of black meaning, so it is obvious in the eyes of outsiders. How does the other party distinguish themselves, is it possible that there is technology such as photos in this world? But no matter who he is, the other party doesn't seem to be very friendly, so he doesn't have to be so polite, so he didn't answer and turned his head directly and asked Li Dongxi: "Who is this person?" ”

Li Dongxi spread his hands and shook his head, indicating that he was also a person who did not know the guardian side.

At this time, the strong man who was the leader put the handsome man who wanted to say anything more to the back, and arched his hand: "My name is Li Shaolong, he is Li Jianfan of Hongfu, and we are all the guardians of this Spring Festival party." I had heard about some things about the Eleventh Brothers earlier, and the brothers were a little curious, so they came over to say hello. ”

Eleven looked at Li Dongxi curiously, but Li Dongxi hurriedly returned to Li Shaolong: "I am the guard, Li Dongxi." ”

Eleven felt 'oh' in his heart, it turned out to be the name of the contestant, since the other party was suddenly polite, he was not unreasonable, and he also replied: "Guard, Li Shiyi." ”

Li Shaolong didn't seem to care about the two in front of him, and smiled lightly with his arms around his chest: "Hmph, what about your Tiger Captain?" ”

"Hey~~" Eleven was a little annoyed by this person, and an attitude for a while. As soon as he wanted to ignore these people and go to see the huge cow, he was put on the shoulder by a big hand.

"Yo~ Captain Long, eleven years have passed, haven't you changed your problem of bullying the weak and being afraid of the hard?" Li Lihu walked out from behind Eleven.

Eleven foreheads, I had seen enough of this kind of bridge before I was eighteen years old, so I looked around and wanted to find a chance to slip away, thinking that the picture of going to see the giant bull eating must be spectacular. But the next moment, he was sandwiched between two strong men like a ham. Fortunately, his action of wanting to slip allowed him to avoid the embarrassment of being sandwiched by two pectoral muscles, although it is quite embarrassing now that the entire lower body is clamped, and he loses his balance for a while and even his feet are off the ground.

Li Shaolong hugged Li Lihu tightly, just like his long-lost brother. Seeing that everyone around is confused, is this to directly hug the opponent to eliminate a strong opponent in advance before the game?

However, the eleventh who was caught in the middle and the closest one still heard Li Shaolong's simple words in Li Lihu's ear, "Good brother, be careful of the third scene".

Li Shaolong suddenly let go of Li Lihu and turned to his side and said: "Hmph, your arm strength is not as good as it was back then, Li Lihu, I think you can retire early, so as not to tire yourself down when you go on the field." ”

Eleven, who fell to the ground, didn't have time to clean up the dirt on it, so he turned over and ran away.

Li Lihu also shouted at Li Shaolong's back: "You are good at this arm, but unfortunately you are still not my opponent this time, don't let me run into it in the second game." ”

I didn't know what everyone was waiting for when they gathered, and not long after Li Shaolong said hello, two inexplicable huge sacrificial teams set off. The fog did not finally dissipate until noon when the sun came out, and Eleven at first followed the ox cart, and slowly driven by curiosity, he climbed to the top of the ox cart to see the misty sun, and finally when the fog cleared, he stood on the back of the ox.

Eleven can't figure out why I'm in a good mood today, and I feel like I haven't jumped up and down like a child for many years. Even the fog didn't remind him of the painful experiences in the fog, maybe it was the air that was exceptionally fresh today, and it made him feel that the world was exceptionally fresh.

The world where the fog had just cleared was very clear, and Eleven could see the entire sacrificial procession clearly on the back of the ox. Eleven had seen thousands of people gather on the school playground before, but here it is said to be a full 20,000 people, and the feeling is completely different. Anyway, it's more spectacular than the hundreds of thousands of people fighting in many war movies. Eleven looked at the scenery with a relaxed expression for a while, and suddenly found a petite woman in the afterglow. Originally, a petite woman was also common here, but everyone around her deliberately kept her distance from her, so Eleven, who was standing on the back of the cow, had to notice. There is also that dignified posture, and there is an unyielding sense of fighting against the things around him.

Just as Eleven looked more and more interested in the woman to see if her face also revealed tenacity, the woman looked up at him directly. The two were at least 100 meters apart, but they looked into each other's eyes as if they could make eye contact. But at this time, the two teams parted ways, and the front had already reached their destination.

It is an abrupt low mountain, and it is said to be abrupt because it is the only mountain it can see as far as the eye can see; It is said to be a low mountain, because it is more like a big dirt bag, with a radius of more than ten miles. The guardian was buried in the east and the defender was buried in the west, so when they got to the bottom of the mountain, they separated and advanced. After listening to some explanations, this huge cemetery made Eleven feel incredible, Li Dongxi said that the people buried here started from the top of the mountain, and only in order, regardless of their origins, they extended down the mountain in turn. And the person who sacrifices can sacrifice to any ancestor regardless of family relationship, no matter what status he has now, as long as he wants to sacrifice. There is no information about any of the graves, and no one else will know about it, and even if they do, they are not allowed to tell anyone about the sacrifice.

Of course, there are good and bad things to do, and in Eleven's opinion, when others see something that shouldn't happen, they really won't say it afterwards? In such a sequential burial method, everyone is almost crowded on several floors nearby, and the guards and the guardians have always been hostile, and there will be no conflicts? But the facts show that Eleven underestimated the power of faith. For example, in front of him, the tombs that Li Lihu and Li Shaolong worshiped were next to each other, and after worshipping, the two actually changed sides and worshiped the tombs that each other worshiped before. This kind of thing is simply a statement to the world that they must have an extraordinary relationship, but today's events on the scene show that this matter is still a secret...

And then there are the people in power, who are now worshipping the ancestral graves like brothers and sisters, always worshipping the same graves from top to bottom. The only difference is that after the white figure worships the one at the peak, he stays in front of a tomb in the second one.

And Eleven, after asking the lord of the guarding city, went straight to a tomb.

Eleven first stood and looked at the grave for a while, as if at the same time he was saying something to the deceased in his heart. Then sprinkle paper money on the grave, and then directly start to worship the platform to place wax paper bamboo. The worship process is carried out according to the simplest, no weeding, no tomb sweeping, and no kneeling. Just as Eleven was about to descend the mountain, a voice suddenly appeared in his head, "Live!" Eleven was shocked, this voice had appeared in dreams many times, and the first time it appeared was in the fog!

Eleven felt the world spinning, and as soon as his eyes were black, he fainted.

When he woke up, he felt his head resting on something very comfortable and soft, and the aroma of fruit moistened his brain and the warm feeling lingered on him. He didn't open his eyes, he had never felt so comfortable in his memory, he was afraid that this dream would end when he opened his eyes, he rubbed deeper into the warmth, and his face was already full of happy smiles.

It's a pity that the dream doesn't end if you don't open your eyes, and the next moment he's like a baby forced to leave the amniotic fluid and has to touch the cold world. He could feel himself being thrown onto the grass, the land of the diaphragm making him have to keep his eyes open.

But after opening his eyes, he regretted it again, looking at the face in front of him, he knew that he was still in a dream, and he knew that he would enter the dream of this face, so he could have opened his eyes earlier.

"Is it okay, sir?" The lips of the face moved slightly, and a sound sounded.

Eleven was obsessed, not knowing that he had returned to reality.

"The concubine has retired." The face looked flustered, and he hurried away from Eleven, but only retreated to a place where ten paces thought it was, and lowered its head.

Eleven just looked at it with half of his body crossed and watched for a long time, until he suddenly remembered that the woman rescued in the river that day was the owner of this face, and then he turned over and stood up, and then turned his back to that face. With his back to him, he didn't know what he was thinking, but his slow smile appeared on his face so imperceptibly, it was a kind of crazy happy smile. Although he didn't know why he could be distracted when saving people, he believed in 'love at first sight' at this moment.

In the past, he was only willing to love, but at this moment he just wants to 'fight'!

Before turning around, he told himself that unless the other party was already married, I would marry this beauty!

The opportunities of life are always fleeting, not to mention that Eleven turned around just now, and it took so long to think about it, so the girl is gone. Looking at the sea of more than 10,000 people on the guardian side, Eleven was a little anxious, but in the end he still made an excuse for himself, 'Today is a sacrifice, let's wait for the Spring Festival'.
