Chapter 327: Red Cloth
At this time, the villagers had already bowed down and bowed, chanting words in their mouths.
"This is, the gods?"
Chen Jiayan seemed to ask to himself, but I directly denied it.
The most common sacrifice is the 'Taigao', that is, the three animals of cattle, sheep and pigs.
Anything that smells of fish never goes up to the altar.
I raised my hand and pointed to the pit, "Even if it's a sacrifice to a god, it's not a righteous god!"
The villagers chattered for a while, then took out a piece of red cloth from their bosoms and respectfully placed it in front of their masks.
As the red cloth was opened, the men prostrated heavily in a five-body throwing themselves to the ground.
Obviously, what is in the red cloth is the key to the sacrifice.
"Tsk."
I habitually snorted my teeth, slightly sad.
The wind at night was a little cold, and Chen Jiayan shrunk his neck: "You want a red cloth?"
"Huh?"
I looked at her with a slight bewilderment.
"Don't be surprised." Chen Jiayan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I've known each other for so long, can't I even have a tacit understanding?"
I laughed, too, "What if you know?"
"There are dozens of people around, so we can't rush in with a swagger, right?"
"Wait."
After speaking, Chen Jiayan turned around and opened his backpack and took out a thick wooden strip.
I wondered why her backpack was so heavy.
Now that I look at it, I understand it all.
"Click......"
With the sound of a mechanism, the wooden bar turned into something like a crossbow arrow.
It's just that, compared to ordinary crossbows, there is an extra triangular bracket underneath.
I reached out and touched it, and I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of treasure is this?"
"Divine Bird."
"Birds?"
Chen Jiayan pointed to the crossbow: "What is fired here is not an arrow, but a thread made of cow tendon mixed with silk."
"This line retains its toughness, and it's so light that if you hit something, you can get caught up in it."
After speaking, Chen Jiayan looked at the Wangshan Mountain on the crossbow, aimed at the crowd opposite, and muttered.
"We're a few hundred meters away from them, within launch range, and it's dark now, and no one will notice."
I understand this.
But I've never seen anything like this, so I'm a little worried.
"No problem, right?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Chen Jiayan's eyes: "It's the first time I've done it, I should, okay?"
I pondered, "!"
At the same time, I suddenly realized that at some point, I began to get used to taking risks.
This is definitely not a good thing in the long run.
"Step back."
She interrupted my introspection softly, and I quickly shrank down a little.
Chen Jiayan closed one eye, and the angle of her hand was constantly adjusted, and I could see the violent ups and downs of her back from the side.
Every breath in and out, it's all nervous.
"Wow!"
There was a faint whistling from the crossbowhead, followed by a crow's cry that echoed through the sky.
I didn't even see what the hell was flying out!
"Hit!"
Chen Jiayan said softly, and it was difficult to hide her excitement in her words.
"Whoosh!"
The tripod underneath the crossbow machine slammed down, and the tiles immediately fell apart.
The recoil came suddenly, and Chen Jiayan was almost bounced out, and half of his body was already suspended in mid-air.
I threw my whole body up and grabbed her hand, and the recoil of the crossbow machine was even greater than I had imagined, and I couldn't hold it up to one shoulder.
While carrying the power of the crossbow, I didn't dare to let go of my arm: "Hard!"
Chen Jiayan pursed his mouth, his face turned red, and he snorted in his mouth, and climbed up.
Don't say it's her, I'm panting when I sit on the roof.
No matter how thin her body is, she is also a big living person of more than 100 catties, and I am not Ji Canghai, so it is naturally a lot more difficult to pull it up.
Chen Jiayan climbed onto the crossbow machine and pulled down a piece of red cloth in two by three.
"It was the mechanism inside that brought such a lot of recoil just now!"
I looked at the red cloth in hand, and then at the crowd in the distance.
The crowd of worshippers who had been worshipping sincerely just now turned in circles one by one like headless flies.
Look at the almost transparent thread on the red cloth again, and I understand everything.
This line is so thin that if I hadn't put it in front of my eyes, I wouldn't have been able to see it clearly.
Just now, the speed of the crossbow machine was very fast, and this group of people would only find that the red cloth was lost, and they would not find any clues.
Lu Banshu, it's amazing!
"Who's in the room?"
Before I could rejoice, a voice suddenly came from the eaves.
I was short and wanted to run, but when I looked up, I met a man's eyes.
Being a thief and being caught is no less fearful than facing an evil spirit.
For at least a few seconds, it was as if time had frozen.
"Run!"
I picked up Chen Jiayan's crossbow machine with one hand, dragged Chen Jiayan with the other, and jumped out of the roof.
