Chapter 9: Choices
"Just let them in?" Liu Yun was a little apprehensive and said, after all, staying here is an order from above, if you want to neglect your duties, who should be responsible if something happens?
"Nine times out of ten, they already know that it doesn't make much sense for us to have a stalemate here." Zhou Yan explained in a low voice.
"How would they know!" When Liu Yun heard this, his eyes widened and he blurted out.
Since yesterday, he has been staying here, patting his chest and guaranteeing that no one has ever gone in.
"Dream, I won't be able to explain it for a while, and I'll explain it to you later." Zhou Yan took a step forward as he spoke, facing the villagers.
The middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who was holding a shovel, subconsciously pointed the "weapon" in his hand at him and made a defensive look.
Zhou Yan coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, "Fellow villagers, I am also a catcher in the county, my name is Zhou Yan, please listen to me first." ”
When the villagers heard him report his identity, they thought that he was also trying to stop him, so they exchanged glances with each other and started a commotion again.
"After I'm done, I'll let everyone in, please be calm." Zhou Yan saw their thoughts and hurriedly reassured.
After a moment of exchanging ears, the old village chief raised his hand to suppress their whispers.
He took a step forward and saluted Zhou Yan: "Zhou Zhu, please speak." ”
Just looking at this action, his popularity in Xiliu Village should not be low.
It's easy to communicate, Zhou Yan is most afraid of encountering the kind of unreasonable, and he also gave a salute: "The villagers should have a dream, right?" ”
The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and said with a little surprise: "Zhou Zhuai also did it?" ”
Everyone in the village lives very regularly, and of course they are sleeping at that point, so they all have the same dream.
In fact, they didn't notice anything unusual at first, and many of them were illiterate, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
It's just that everyone in the village has the habit of getting up early to be busy with farm work, and after meeting each other, they chatted casually, only to find that things are a little weird.
I asked a few more people, confirmed the content of the line, and finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
Children are the heart and soul of every parent, as soon as they hear the so-called "Dragon King's Edict", how can they sit still, and they all rush to the village chief's house and ask him for ideas.
In the end, the village chief made a decision, seeing is believing, so he went to the Dragon King Temple to find out.
There was a scene of confrontation with Liu Yun.
Zhou Yan saw that what he expected was not bad, his face was a little ugly, he nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I also had that dream." ”
When the villagers heard this, they started to stir up again.
In their eyes, the county's catcher is no longer an ordinary person, but he was also tricked, could it be that it would be the Dragon King's edict?
"Quiet! Be quiet! Zhou Yan knew that he would not be able to mess with himself at this time, so he hurriedly shouted.
When the crowd calmed down again, he clenched his fists and said sincerely: "I know your current mood, no parent will watch their children die, so please be calm!" ”
Brother Wang, who lost his child yesterday, heard that the shovel in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".
Not only him, Zhou Yan's eyes slowly swept over everyone, all of them showed sadness and lack of anger.
This was unexpected, Xiliu Village and even the entire Yushi County were blessed by the Dragon King, and they naturally regarded it as a god, and they were in awe from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, if it is determined that it is the decree of the dragon king, they must have no intention of resisting, and they will definitely find a pair of virgins and boys to perform living sacrifices.
As long as it's not your own children.
In the era when people's wisdom was not opened, such examples were not uncommon.
No one can avoid it, and no one can guarantee that it is not their own child.
Perhaps, this is the face of the world: the law of the jungle.
He sighed in his heart, and said solemnly: "According to our speculation, it is definitely not the Dragon King of Jianghai who left this line, I am afraid it is a treacherous conspiracy, so I hope you don't do impulsive things, so as not to leave regrets." ”
When he finished speaking, he took a step to the side and moved out of the way.
The words fell, there was no expected fryer, and everyone stood silent, as if thinking about the credibility of Zhou Yan's words.
To them, he was just an outsider after all, and he belonged to the kind of person who didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke.
And the whole village is really bizarre to have the same dream together, in their cognition, except for the dragon king, no one else thinks.
Besides, listening to what the other party just meant, he himself was tricked, which means that his ability must not be as good as that of the person who left the message, and what he said is really not convincing.
What if you believe his words in vain, disobey the edict, and provoke the wrath of the dragon king? At that time, I am afraid that it will not be solved by a pair of boys and girls.
"Village chief, look...... most people have no master at this time, and they want the village chief to take ideas.
The old village chief first looked at Zhou Yan, then turned around and swept over the villagers, and finally just sighed: "Let's go and have a look first......
As he spoke, he led the way to the temple.
The temple is not big and cannot accommodate everyone, so neither Zhou Yan nor Liu Yun followed in.
The two found a remote place, and Liu Yun first expressed his doubts in his heart: "Xiao Zhou, what ...... dream you said?"
Fang Cai's words seemed to be related to a mysterious dream, and he had to figure it out as soon as possible.
"That's right, dream ......" Zhou Yan looked solemn and explained his previous dream to the other party concisely.
At the end, he took a long breath and said, "Now I can only hope that the foreign aid brought by Wang Tou is strong enough." ”
He was self-aware, and knew that the current situation was definitely beyond the ability of himself and Liu Yun to deal with.
Liu Yun was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "You say, will it really be ......?"
"No way!" Zhou Yan interrupted firmly.
He didn't know where his confidence came from, it was a hundred years of grace from the dragon king, and there was no precedent; It's still a weird dream, like an evil cultivator.
Or maybe it was last night.
"If it's really an evil cultivator, then we ......" Liu Yun licked his dry lips with his tongue, and his hand unconsciously pressed the handle of the knife.
Only in this way can he gain some useless sense of security.
"Brother Liu, are you afraid?" Zhou Yan noticed his movements and looked directly into the other party's eyes.
"Afraid? Of course I'm afraid. Liu Yun first smiled bitterly, and then said dejectedly, "But who told us to do this business, no matter how afraid we are, we have to top." ”
Zhou Yan was in awe when he heard this, even if he was a human being in two lives, he had never seen a few such people.
He raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, and said firmly: "Yes, no matter how afraid you are, you have to stand up." ”
Liu Yun was slapped by him, and suddenly became a little arrogant, and smacked hard: "Damn, for the safety of our Yushi County, I really have to kill him!" ”
At this time, the old village chief and his group walked out of the temple.
The two of them looked at it together, and suddenly felt bad, these people who came out of the temple seemed to be much older in an instant.
Especially the old village chief, who was still in good spirits before, was stiff at this time.
"Old village chief, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yan hurriedly greeted him and said with concern.
"I'm fine." The old village chief waved his hand, his voice was a little weak, and then he bent down and coughed violently.
After a while, he raised his head with difficulty, gasped and asked, "Xiao Zhou, you say, should we sacrifice?" ”
