The blood on Song Ping's shoulders was red, as if it had just been dyed.

Shi Beiyan inspected Song Ping's body, and there were scratches on the other party's fingers from fragments of wine jugs, the scars were very shallow, and the wounds had healed.

"Someone's coming!" Shi Yi leaned out of the window and saw that Pu Hai was carrying a chicken and was walking towards this side.

Qin Huan put down the tea box on the table and looked at Shi Beiyan, who covered Song Ping's futon back, and the three of them climbed over the fence from behind and went out.

Pu Hai walked into the house and saw that Song Ping was still lying quietly, so he went to the kitchen to kill the chicken and cook.

After a while, Qin Huan smelled the aroma of rice outside the courtyard, "Pu Hai is really righteous to Song Ping, with him, Song Ping's safety is safe." ”

Shi Yi also sighed deeply, "This brother can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, it's interesting enough, why can't I meet it." ”

"Do you want to meet a brother or a daughter-in-law?" Qin Huan quipped.

"It's the best." Shi Yi laughed.

Qin Huan sneered, she had a tea leaf in her hand that she took from Song Ping's house, this tea was fragrant, and the taste was very similar to that given to them by the village chief.

"The village chief is in the tea business, and Song Ping is the one who runs the tea house, and the two of them have close contacts, so could it be that the business is also together?"

Shi Yi understands this, "I inquired about this, Song Ping used to be a tea farmer who made tea, and later opened a tea house with the Pu family, he was responsible for the tea house business, planting tea and making tea, which were provided by the village chief." ”

Qin Huan twisted the tea in his hand, "How's the business?" ”

"I don't buy much in the village, but I sell it to other places, and I heard from people nearby that I should have made a lot of money."

When Shi Yi came yesterday, he sat on a bench at the entrance of the alley for half an hour, and the uncles and aunts told him everything about the situation in the village.

Shi Beiyan lowered his eyes and seemed to be a little absent-minded, Qin Huan patted him, "Are you still thinking about Song Ping?" ”

Shi Beiyan smelled the fragrance of vegetables in the air, put aside the thoughts that flashed in his mind, he looked up at the sky, "Take advantage of the dawn, let's go to Tashan first." ”

Qin Huan also had this intention.

But when they came to Tasan and entered the mountain pass, they found that the mountain pass was guarded by militia, and Pu Hong came out of the mountain.

"Tomorrow's Altar Ceremony, everyone must compare the portrait and determine their identity before they can pass!" Park Hong noticed the loss of his household registration and became more vigilant against the guards of the mountain pass.

"The village chief can rest assured, there will never be outsiders who will disturb the baptism of the night god!" The militia led by the militia held the newly collected album in his hand.

Park Hong told him a lot before leaving.

The three of them hid behind the forest and grass, and Shi Yi's face was worried, "County Lord, our fake identity is useless. ”

Not all villagers are required to participate in the Tashan Festival, and only a selected 100 people will enter the mountain to observe the ceremony every year, and they will disguise the selected villagers and blend into the mountain.

But now that Park Hong wants to compare the portraits, they can't get in at all.

And they can't startle the snake, Qin Huan turned his head, "Do you have a way to let us into the mountain?" ”

Shi Beiyan pointed to the cliff of Tashan and smiled bitterly, "County Lord, you really embarrass me." ”

This is the only entrance to Tashan, and for the villagers, Tashan is a very safe place, intercepting all outsiders here, inside, is the real Taoyuan Village.

Shi Yi frowned, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't be a tiger, tomorrow, when they all enter the mountain, I will take someone to go in and catch turtles in their urns!" ”

"No." Qin Huan disagreed, "Have you forgotten that those Rakshasa messengers committed suicide by taking poison, Taoyuan Village must be related to these people, alarm them, in case there are corpses all over the field, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Otherwise, I will climb up from the cliff, and the county lord and the second prince will wait for me outside, and when the sacrifice is over, I will describe to you what I see inside." Shi Yi suggested.

Qin Huan disagreed even more, the cliff was steep, and if you climb it by manpower alone, you will die for a lifetime.

Her brows were tightly locked, a slightly cool fingertip was pointed at the center of her eyebrows, she raised her eyebrows loosely, Shi Beiyan lowered her eyes, and her thin lips opened slowly, "If you want to enter through the entrance, it's not completely impossible." ”

Qin Huan grabbed his fingers and pulled them away, "What's the way?" ”

"Dumb girl." Shi Beiyan tapped the household registration book on her head, "The dumb girl's surname is Liang, and there are two brothers and one sister in the family, just like the three of us." ”

Qin Huan covered his head, "The guards won't not know her family, the three of us will be mixed in, and one will be caught." ”

The mute girl is a sacrificer and is vital to the village, and her family is always in the spotlight.

Shi Beiyan disagreed, "The dumb girl's face is abnormal, and her brothers and sisters are like this, on weekdays, they rarely go out, they don't see people, even if they go out, they have long hair to cover their faces, and they don't dare to look at people."

The villagers only see their shapes, but do not look at their faces, and we are easy to look like them, and it is not easy to be discovered. ”

Shi Yi was stunned, "The household registration records the identity information of his brother and sister at most, ...... How does the second son know that their appearance characteristics are not familiar with outsiders. ”

Shi Yi almost leaked his mouth again, but fortunately he stopped the word "adult".

Qin Huan also looked at him puzzled, and Shi Beiyan turned the household registration book to the page of the dumb girl.

"The parents of the mute girl are cousins with the same surname, and her grandfather and grandmother are also close relatives, although the law of this dynasty does not prohibit marriage of the same clan, but it is recorded in the previous dynasty that those who are closely related by blood are combined, and the children are more deformed, so the previous dynasty forbade the marriage of relatives within the five suits.

Taoyuan Village has thousands of people in 100 households, which is the largest village within 100 miles, but there are intermarriages in the village, complex blood relations, and many deformities, so there are Fang Ye, A Man, mute girls, and many strange-looking people. ”

Shi Yi understood, "I understand, the mute girl's parents and her ancestors are both close relatives, and the combination of close relatives and heirs is abnormal, and her two elder brothers are also very likely to have similar facial characteristics to her." ”

Shi Beiyan nodded, "Even the parents of a dumb girl may be deformed, so that it is difficult to find a good match, so they have to be together." ”

Qin Huan's eyes were on fire, "If the village rules are not broken, there will be more and more deformed children, they shouldn't have been born like this." ”

"If you want to break the village rules, you have to let their gods be revealed to the world." Shi Beiyan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and there are secrets of Taoyuan Village hidden in Tashan, no matter what, they must find out.

There is indeed a chance to enter Tashan as a mute girl's relative, but Shi Yi raised a difficult question, "The dumb girl and two brothers and sisters will be willing to help us?" ”
