Chapter three hundred and twentieth inquiring about the news
The village chief has explained that it is not allowed to mention the sacrifice to the foreigners.
Fortunately, he only mentioned the sacrifice, and did not disclose too much detail.
Looking at A Da's panic, Xu Chunniang showed a thoughtful look.
It seems that this so -called sacrifice may be the key to leaving this spirit.
In the next few days, new "foreign people" have continued to enter the village.
All these people are the same as Xu Chunniang, like Xu Chunniang, enter the monk who entered the Tiandao Palace.
But it didn't take long for them to enter the village, and they disappeared. No one knows where they went.
"I heard that there are two foreigners here this morning. Recently, there are so many foreigners who come to the village."
"It is also strange to say that so many foreigners came to the village and left again. Only the three people who came at the beginning were still there."
"What's so strange that they must see our village break, and secretly walked away."
A few children talked a few words, and soon noticed the bone blade in the hands of Xu Chunniang's hands, and her eyes were lit.
"What a beautiful knife is made with the bones of the tiger!"
"It looks more prestigious than my father's bow and arrow!"
A group of children stared at the bone blade very much, and finally someone gathered the courage to step forward. "Hello, foreigner, can this be leaned to us?"
Xu Chunniang glanced at a few people and didn't speak.
In the past few days, she walked around in the village for several days, and she tapped the side to inquire about the sacrifice.
However, as long as she mentioned these two words, this group of simple and enthusiastic villagers will become nervous and deliberately avoid this topic.
After a few days, I couldn't get more news.
I only know that this so -called sacrifice is to be held in the ancestral land, and if you participate in the sacrifice, there are more than this village.
Xu Chunniang had no choice but to try to get the answer from this group of children.
"Where are you going to the farthest place?"
However, the answer of this group of children disappointed her.
"We haven't left the village."
"At the age of twelve years old, I was allowed to leave the village. Ah Da said I was too young."
They answered absently, and their eyes were still staring at the bone blade in Xu Chunniang's hand, apparently there was no heart.
Xu Chunniang's fingers carelessly stroked the bone blade, "You just said that many foreigners are gone, is it true?"
"Naturally, there were a few foreign people who lived in the room next to my house, but I went to see it, no one in the room."
"They must be suspected of breaking our village, so they sneaked away."
When Xu Chunniang heard what he wanted to hear, he handed the bone blade to them, "Play you for a while, be careful not to hurt."
As expected, a few children burst into cheers, and carefully raised the bone blade to play.
Xu Chunniang picked up another tiger bone on the ground and started to polish. It was not long before she had just entered the village. Two strange monks who came to visit.
Those "foreigners who are here and walking" are probably killed by those two monks.
When they were looking for her that day, they were likely to want to take her, but I did not know what considerations, and gave up.
Watching the time is almost the same, Xu Chunniang took the bone blade and walked towards the village chief.
In this ancient and closed village, the village chief is the person with the greatest rights and knows the most. Instead of finding other people to find out slowly, it is better to go directly to the village chief.
The village chief learned that Xu Chunniang visited and received her very warmly.
"Dear guests, the habit of living in the past few days?"
"Very good, I heard that there are many other villages, I don’t know if it is true."
The village chief stunned, and then laughed, "Naturally, it is true. But those villages are too far away.
"Then have you been to other villages?"
The village chief smiled bitterly, "No, I can't leave the village for too long, and other villages have a friendly attitude towards us."
Xu Chunniang's eyes moved slightly. These villages go to the same ancestral sacrifice every year. They are very likely to have a common ancestor.
But the village chief said that the relationship between the village is not friendly, which is intriguing.
Could the targets of every village are inconsistent? Or is it that these villages are competitive relationships between these villages?
"Where are the farthest places you have?"
"Oh, my old bone, but I can't go far."
The village chief subconsciously avoided his sight and lifted the tea bowl. "The sky is already dark ..."
Xu Chunniang sighed in her heart. It seemed that the village chief would keep pretending to be stupid.
She interrupted his words, and meant to point out, "I heard that you go to the ancestral land once a year and participate in the sacrifice."
The village chief shook his hands with the tea bowl, and the tea in the tea bowl almost spilled out. He finally realized what, his face was not very good.
"Although I miss you saved my tribe, this is a matter of our tribe, I have no obligation to tell you."
"Since it is a sacrifice, be sure to prepare the sacrifice?"
The village chief's face was "brushed" in white, "It's just ancestor sacrifice, no valuable sacrifice is needed."
After saying this, no matter how Xu Chunniang asked, he always refused to speak.
In desperation, she had to leave the village head.
On the way back, the sky was dark.
The woman's fine sobbing sound did not know where it came from, sorrow.
Xu Chunniang stayed in the village for a few days, and she was no stranger to this voice.
The youthful hunting experience in the village is rich, but it is common to fight with the beast every day. It is common to be injured. If you are not good at luck, it is possible to even mourn.
Who is Xu, and encountered misfortune again.
She was trying to avoid it, but he heard a sad whisper.
"Shuang'er was selected, and the sacrifice ceremony will be held next month ..."
"This is all fate. Shuang'er is the person selected by the witch god. We should accept it. She will serve the Witch God for us."
"I know, why is it my family? She is only ten years old, oh oh ..."
"Witch is on the top, Shuang'er will bless us."
Under the consolation of men, the sobbing sound slowly decreased, and eventually it was silent and dissolved in the deep night.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, and there was a bold speculation in the bottom of her heart.
The two -year -old double child was selected as a sacrifice, and he would be given the witch god first next month.
And such a sacrifice for the witch god once a year, it has continued endless years.
And not only this village, all nearby villages, every year, go to the ancestral land to participate in the sacrifice ...
It seems that the "witch god", the appetite is really not small.
Xu Chunniang's eyes were cold. No wonder she asked the sacrifice. The village chief was silent. Among them, such a secret hidden.
Perhaps this witch god is the key to leaving this spirit.
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes, and there was no wave when she opened her eyes.
Since the sacrifice is next month, then she can go to their so -called ancestral land and find out.
