Chapter 23: Prairie Night (2)

Xiao Ruoshui looked at the departing old man, walking a little hastily, his steps were a little messy, he kept staring at the old man until he entered the tent in the center.

"What are you looking at, what are you thinking? Wouldn't it be that you miss the girl Linghua who was holding you today?" The princess didn't know when she stood next to Xiao Ruoshui and teased Xiao Ruoshui.

"I don't have such a good memory, and Linghua, I forgot about it. You have a good memory. Xiao Ruoshui glanced at Li Yunmeng and stabbed her.

"Oh, you're pretty concerned, duplicitous guy. The princess replied deservedly. Xiao Ruoshui shook her head, smiled bitterly and said "Hmph" and didn't take care of her anymore. He looked at the direction of Uletai's departure with suspicion, thinking to himself what made the old man so out of shape?

"I can guess what you're thinking, and I know the answer. The princess put her hands behind her back and looked unfathomable. looked at Xiao Ruoshui triumphantly and said.

"Can you know what I'm thinking?" Xiao Ruoshui looked at the princess strangely and said, he hadn't been in contact with the princess, and he hadn't taught the princess how to use superhuman abilities, so he didn't believe that the princess could guess, but he immediately thought of Wu Li in a blink of an eye, and the princess and Wu Li were together just now, and he seemed to understand everything.

"Come in and say. Xiao Ruoshui lifted the curtain, walked into the tent, and sat on the edge of the table. When the princess came in, she also took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the edge of the table. However, the princess did not speak immediately, but got a cup of milk tea and drank it slowly. When Xiao Ruoshui saw her appearance, she knew that she was waiting for him to ask, so as to show that she was superior.

"Tell me what I'm thinking?" Xiao Ruoshui held back a smile. Said to the princess.

"Are you thinking about why the old man is crying for Lu, and why he won't tell you why Wu Li is crying, and you want to know why Lu Dao is crying. The princess sat upright, took a sip of tea, and said.

"Yes, what you said is good, but you seem to know the reason, what do you say makes the old man so out of shape and makes Wu Li so sad?" Xiao Ruoshui was a little hurt inside, but in order to fulfill the princess's mentality, he still looked ashamed to ask.

"Actually, the reason why the old man lost his temper was that his own grandson was going to be sent to pay tribute to the shaman today, and the reason why Uri was so sad was that his brother was going to be sent to pay tribute to the shaman. The princess said with a grim face.

"What. Worship the shaman. Didn't you ask what the reason is?" Xiao Ruoshui was taken aback and asked hurriedly.

"I don't know what the reason is, but I know that Lu Dao had this rule thirty years ago, if you don't send a child to the shaman temple on the full moon night of August 15. The next day there will be a great catastrophe. The first year people didn't believe this. The children were not sent to the shamanic temple, and the result was that all the cattle and sheep died, and many people spent the winter in hunger and cold. So there was this rule in the future. The princess put her hands on the table and looked at Xiao Ruoshui.

"I still haven't figured out what this cow and sheep death has to do with the sacrifice of children, so I'm here to ask you, the first person in the world to understand. The princess blinked and looked at Xiao Ruoshui innocently.

"You should actually be able to think of it yourself, the sacrifice of children is for the sake of the immortality of cattle and sheep, if someone can scare these shepherds into sacrificing a child every year on the fifteenth day of August, there is no means, who is doing this? This is indeed a question, what is the purpose of having children? Is there any ulterior purpose?" Xiao Ruoshui pondered.

"There must be a bad guy who scares these innocent shepherds, and we must find out this bad guy, otherwise these herdsmen are so pitiful. Those kids are so pathetic. The princess couldn't help but reddened her eyes at the thought of the innocent look of the children who took the candy from her hands.

"Don't be sad, today is August 15th, let's take advantage of the moonlight to go up and take a look, and see what kind of demons and monsters are doing weird?" Xiao Ruoshui comforted her.

As soon as the princess heard Xiao Ruoshui say this, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, and said to Xiao Ruoshui: "I know that you are the best." ”

Xiao Ruoshui smiled and said: "I'm outside, you change your clothes first, and then we will go out after we change our clothes, go to Wuli's tent, follow the team to send the children, and see what is boring." With that, he left the tent and stood outside the tent, carefully observing. After a while, the princess changed her clothes, and Xiao Ruoshui also went in to change her clothes. The two took advantage of the night to secretly appear outside the tent of the old man in Ultai.

The sound of crying in the tent continued, and Uri seemed to have been crying, sighing should be the old man of Ultai, and it should be the protagonist of today's sacrifice who was sleeping soundly, Uzhu, who was still not aware of the danger, and slept very soundly.

"It's this point, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" The night on the grassland is still very cold, and the moisture on the ground is very strong, although I wear a waterproof night clothes, but it is still a little cold. The princess couldn't stand it a little and said to Xiao Ruoshui.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer. Xiao Ruoshui was lying on the grass, patiently facing the tent, as if all this was natural.

"There are so many mosquitoes in the hell place, I wonder why mosquitoes don't bite you? Just biting me, is it because you are jealous of this girl's natural talents?" said the princess after lying on her stomach for a while.

"Don't stink, it's the female mosquito that bites. Shhhh Xiao Ruoshui covered the princess's mouth and said. A group of men and horses walked towards the tent in Ultai. They were all dressed in festive costumes and holding musical instruments in their hands, and they came to a stop in front of the tent in Ultai, led by an old man dressed in costume, and said to the tent, "When the time comes, it is not good to delay the time of the shaman." I only heard a sigh in the tent, and Ultai said: "I have already fed the medicine to the child, you can light it along the way, let him go quietly." With a wave of his hand, the two strong men walked into the tent, carried the sleeping Wushu out, put them in the carriage and walked in the direction of the mountain.

Ultai walked out of the tent and looked at the team in the distance, the old tears were full of tears, and the pain was self-evident.

The princess looked at Ultai silently crying, and her eyes turned red, who can understand the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, this scene is not wanted to be seen by anyone.

Xiao Ruoshui and the princess followed the team all the way to the temple on a small hill, the team walked into the temple and put the Wushu on the stage, the Wushu still slept very soundly, and did not notice it at all, it seems that this medicine works very well. A group of people played music, danced, and sang, probably some worship rituals, and after the last fuss, they knelt down together for a long time before slowly leaving. Xiao Ruoshui and the princess had been observing from the beam on the top of the small temple until the group left, and then they jumped down. The princess patted the dirt on her body and said, "Get this child away." Xiao Ruoshui pulled her and said, "Someone is coming." Let's hide and see what happens. The two men hid behind the statue and slowly observed. After a while, a figure rushed in, looking towards Wushu. Xiao Ruoshui and the princess were taken aback when they saw that person, it turned out to be her. (To be continued......)
