Chapter 171: Shou

Looking at the five women who were tied up, Bai Shu stopped talking, just secretly thinking about what he could do.

He didn't understand why at this moment he had a strange feeling for this woman who was unknown in his life, and her appearance was not too outstanding, but could only be regarded as beautiful, fresh, and wearing a purple flower on her long fringed hair.

"Can you save them all?" Bai Shu thought to himself, "According to the current situation, it seems that only me and Shi Cangyuan are the only ones guarding them tonight, so I can take advantage of the night to quietly let them go......"

Bai Shu made up his mind, but immediately frowned, "I just don't know if the five of them are willing to flee, according to what Shi Cangyuan said before, it is a great thing to become a sacrifice to the cold moon......"

"It's ridiculous...... Bai Shu shook his head, "Sacrificing people with living people is tantamount to killing people in another way." ”

Seeing that Bai Shu was a little strange, Shi Cangyuan said, "Old Bai, what do you want? Tonight, you and I will guard these five people, don't be careless, after all, not everyone is a loyal believer of Lord Hanyue." ”

"Well, I know. Bai Shu nodded, and then asked, "Brother Shi, don't you think it's a bit cruel to sacrifice a living person? Can't you find something else to replace it......?"

"Cruel?" Shi Cangyuan smiled, shook his head and said, "They became sacrifices, in fact, they only died, but their souls will always exist and live forever with Lord Hanyue, so this is not a cruelty, but a kind of happiness." ”

Hearing this, Bai Shu frowned, nodded, and didn't say anything.

Time passed quietly, and gradually, the night came, and the blackness enveloped the surroundings like a thick black fog. Slowly, the twinkling stars climbed into the night sky, emitting a dazzling light.

And between the stars, there was an extremely bright moon, the moon was like a jade disk made of cold jade, and the cold white moonlight slowly overflowed like cold air, as if there was a thin layer of ice, and the whole night sky seemed to be a little chilly.

The cool breeze came from time to time, blowing Bai Shu's long hair, and the animal skin looked a little desolate, as if it couldn't withstand the chill of this late autumn.

Bai Shu looked at the night sky, in Bai Shu's eyes, the moon was like a mirror, for some reason, Bai Shu felt that the moon was so cold, as if it froze his soul.

The two of them lit a fire in front of them to resist the cold of the night, and the orange fire slowly danced, as if dancing in the night, which made Bai Shu and the others feel a little warm.

The five women curled up in a ball, the white moonlight and the cool breeze in the night made them feel an extremely strong cold, especially the five of them were still too yin physique, under the baptism of this white moonlight, their faces were pale, and there was no trace of ruddy in sight, and their lips were covered with a thin layer of frost, shivering, as if they wanted to shake off the cold on their bodies.

"They, are you okay?" Bai Shu looked at the five people and asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Shi Cangyuan replied, "People with their Taiyin physique, every fifteenth night, there will be such a situation, so don't worry, after a while, it will be fine in the second half of the night......

"Could it be that Jing'er's physique was the same before she awakened?" Bai Shu said silently in his heart, his mind was full of Bai Jing's figure now, and that gentle smile, like a spring breeze, could give people warmth and strength.

If Bai Jing was in this situation when he was fifteen years ago, Bai Shu's heart suddenly hurt inexplicably, he knew that the pain of the Taiyin physique attack, that kind of cold, was like coming from the Nine Hells.

"If it's Jing'er who suffers from this kind of suffering...... Thinking of this, Bai Shu frowned, so he interrupted Shi Cangyuan's words and said, "Brother Shi, if they have an accident, I mean they die, what will happen?"

"Then we have to take off our heads to make amends, the two of us are not enough, so we will also affect the family and let the family be punished together. Shi Cangyuan replied casually.

After a pause, Shi Cangyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Anyway, you and I are both fed by one person, the whole family is not hungry, and there is no family at all, so if there is an accident, it will only be the two of us who will die, and there is no need to worry about affecting others." ”

"Hmm. Bai Shu nodded. Bai Shu naturally didn't know what Shi Cangyuan meant, but he roughly understood, so he nodded symbolically.

Then, Bai Shu shook his head and said, "Brother Shi, I didn't mean that. ”

"Huh?" Shi Cangyuan stared at Bai Shu with some confusion, "Old Bai, what do you want to say." ”

"Look. Bai Shu pointed to one of the five women, the woman was trembling, her face was pale, and the frost on her lips covered a thick layer, "This woman seems to be in great pain, and now she may have reached the limit, I'm afraid, she won't be able to survive until the second half of the night, and if she dies, we won't be ......able to communicate with her."

Shi Cangyuan looked at it and just nodded, but did not speak.

"So, Brother Shi, I want to help her. Bai Shu continued, "Help her survive the second half of the night......"

"Lao Bai, how do you want to help?" Shi Cangyuan frowned, he knew, it was true, that woman's situation was very bad, if she didn't help her, she might really not be able to survive the second half of the night.

"Of course it's warm. Bai Shu said, and then pointed to the fire, "Isn't it possible to use this fire to keep warm?"

"No, I can't. Shi Cangyuan shook his head and said, "Lao Bai, I know what you mean, but the five of them are still receiving the baptism of moonlight, so they can't be polluted by this filthy fire......"

"Filth?" Bai Shu frowned, and said a little angrily, "If this fire is filthy, then what are you going to do with this fire?"

"No, no, no, old white. Shi Cangyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. I mean, this moonlight is immaculate, and this fire will pollute this sacred moonlight, so they can't touch this fire. ”

"Brother Shi, then I'll ask you. After a moment of silence, Bai Shu continued, "Do you want to send a few of them to the altar in their entirety, or wait for a few of them to complete the moonlight baptism, and then send five corpses up?"

Shi Cangyuan was a little silent, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Seeing Shi Cangyuan's reaction, Bai Shu continued, "Looking at the appearance of several other people, most of them can't stay up in the second half of the night. ”

This sentence was like a hammer, hitting Shi Cangyuan's heart.

"Good. After a while, Shi Cangyuan nodded, and then walked up to the five women with Bai Shu and lit a fire in front of the five people.

Bai Shu squatted down, and while building wood, he whispered to the five women, "I know that you don't want to die, you are born in the lunar year, the moon and the moon, and let you be sacrificed, the fault is not you, but the ugly tradition of using living people to sacrifice in this tribe." ”

"I want to get you out, do you have such a will?" Bai Shu asked softly.

No one spoke, and even most of them had a hint of contempt in their eyes, which seemed to mean, "You are a second-order little warrior, do you have such ability?" Also, it is also an extremely happy thing to be a sacrifice to Lord Cold Moon. ”

Although it was just a contemptuous smile, Bai Shu also felt what they meant.

Seeing this, Bai Shu shook his head and sighed. Just when Bai Shu was about to give up this idea, suddenly, Bai Shu saw a woman's eyes as calm as water, and there was no change, but in the depths of those eyes, there was a strong desire to live.

The woman was the one with a purple flower on her hair.

At this time, Bai Shu suddenly had a thought in her heart that she must be rescued, not for other reasons, but because she wanted to live.

"Hey, Lao Bai, I'm okay here. At this time, Shi Cangyuan spoke, "Do you need help over there?"

"Nope. Bai Shu immediately refused and said, "I'll be fine right away, you go and rest first." ”

"Hmm. Shi Cangyuan nodded and walked away.

Bai Shu gently mouthed at the woman, "Don't worry, I will save you out." ”

Seeing this, the woman's eyes moved slightly, revealing a glimmer of light.

Bai Shu got up and walked towards Shi Cangyuan.

Seeing Bai Shu coming, Shi Cangyuan said casually, "Old Bai, is this fire really useful?" I see that a few of them are still shaking violently. ”

"I guess it's more or less useful. Bai Shu said, "Wait a minute." ”

"That's all there is to it. I just hope that nothing will happen to the five of them, or our heads will be lost. Shi Cangyuan said with a wry smile.

"Didn't you say it quite casually just now?" Bai Shu smiled, "What, now, afraid of death, afraid of losing your head?"

"Huh. But who wants to die?" Shi Cangyuan asked with a smile.

"That's just as well. Bai Shu smiled and paused, Bai Shu continued, "Won't you rest tonight?"

"Rest?" Shi Cangyuan smiled, "In the future, there will be time to rest, and if something goes wrong tonight, it will rest forever." ”

"Then please Brother Shi to help, even my share of guarding, I am indeed a little tired today. Bai Shu smiled, owed, and immediately lay down and closed his eyes.

A faint earthy smell permeated Bai Shu's body.

"Lao Bai, tell the truth, what do you want to do?" Shi Cangyuan asked.

"I'm just tired and want to take a break, so let's do it, if Brother Shi you think it's a bit unfair, then I'll sleep for half the night, and you will sleep for the second half of the night. As soon as something happens, wake up the other person immediately. Bai Shu said.

"What if something happens?" Shi Cangyuan asked.

"Brother Shi, please push it to me, I will bear all the regrets. ”

Shi Cangyuan finally nodded, time passed quickly, as if in an instant, in the second half of the night, Shi Cangyuan was already sleepy.

Bai Shu got up and looked at the sky, the moon was already much darker, and the stars were not as twinkling as before.

Looking at Shi Cangyuan, who was sleeping dead, Bai Shu walked straight to the woman.

The woman's eyes moved slightly, and then a sweet smile appeared.

"If you want to live," Bai Shu began, "you have to have a stronger will." ”

Hearing Bai Shu's voice, the woman nodded like a ghost.

Bai Shu looked back at the sleeping Shi Cangyuan, and thought silently in his heart, "I'm sorry, Brother Shi, I don't know why I have a strange feeling for her, so ...... Sorry ......"

"The rope seems to be too tightly tied. Bai Shu muttered to himself.
