The King of War, he has a delicate body and a soft body

"Who is there!!!"

Jiang Yunluo shouted, picked up a shell and used it as a hidden weapon to hit it.

At the moment when he was about to take action——

She saw a head popping up from behind the bushes in the distance!

The shell that almost flew out of her fingertips was suddenly taken back into her hand, with a look of helplessness.

"Stone, why is it you?"

She had recognized the person.

A few of them had liked to come over to watch her build boats before, and they were considered regular visitors.

But today, for some reason, Shitou just stood far away and did not take the initiative to come over. He looked a little hesitant.

Jiang Yunluo's eyes flickered for a moment, and she suddenly guessed something.

Afraid of scaring people away, she waved tentatively.

"Shitou, are you here to see the boat? Come on, my sister made something new today, just for you to see!"

Jiang Yunluo's face was full of smiles, looking no different than usual.

Shitou still looked hesitant.

After a long while, he came over hesitantly.

"Why are you alone today? Where are Xiaohua and the others?"

Jiang Yunluo deliberately didn't mention Yue Ya'er.

Then Shitou's face changed slightly, and he whispered: "They haven't gone out recently. I was the only one who slipped out of the house."

He is the oldest of the group of children.

It is nine years old this year.

Therefore, his speech is much clearer than others.

Jiang Yunluo could tell at a glance that he seemed to have something on his mind, but she didn't ask further.

Instead, he pointed at the drawing and said, "Look, I've done this part now..."

"Sister, when will your boat be ready? How many people can it take at most?"

Shitou suddenly asked.

This is not the first time Jiang Yunluo has heard the first question.

but the second...

A dark light flashed in her eyes, but instead of answering, she asked: "Why are you asking this? Do you want to use your sister's boat to get out of here? I'm afraid that won't work... If your parents find out..."

"Tell me first how long it will take to build this ship!"

Shitou was a little anxious for some reason and insisted on finding out the time.

It seemed like there was something urgent.

Jiang Yunluo carefully observed his expression for a long time——

She deliberately raised her voice: "It's not easy to build this ship, and there are only two of us. I'm afraid it will take a while to get it right, at least half a year."

"Half a year? Last time you said it would be completed soon!"

He didn't know what he was worried about, but he jumped up in shock!

"Last time it was just a casual comment."

Jiang Yunluo spoke directly and calmly.

Shitou panicked.

He first lowered his head to look at the drawings on the ground, then looked back at the mountains and forests not far away. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "What if I call all my friends to come and help! Can you build it quickly? I won't bring it with you." There are so many people! Just... just bring me, Xiaohua, Yue Yaer, and our parents! Is that okay?"

The little boy held his head tightly and stared at Jiang Yunluo without blinking. As he spoke, his eyes turned red!

Jiang Yunluo said nothing and turned to look at Ling Fengshuo.

The look in the eyes is a look that only each other can understand.

This kid knows things they don't know.

"Is it possible? If you agree! I will ask all my friends to help!"

Watching the two of them playing riddles, Shitou became more and more anxious.

Then Ling Fengshuo said: "If you are willing to tell the truth, maybe we can consider it."

"What truth..."

The child's thoughts were written on his face. When he heard Ling Fengshuo say this, he looked obviously panicked for a moment.

"I...I just heard you talk about a lot of things outside. I don't want to live on this island all the time. I...I..."

"You have to tell the truth before I can take you away."

Jiang Yunluo interrupted his hesitation directly.

Shi Shi's cheeks suddenly turned red, and his lower lip was instantly bitten tightly by his teeth, as if he was hesitating whether to say it or not.

Jiang Yunluo didn't push her and just continued to do the work in hand.

After a long while, out of the corner of my eye I finally saw him stamping his feet!

"Just say it! This ship must be built within three months! Otherwise it will be too late!"

"What's too late? Why does it have to be three months?"

Jiang Yunluo followed suit and asked.

"The festival will be held in three months!"

"Festival?"

Jiang Yunluo was startled, never expecting to hear such words from a child.

These two words often bring out two extreme pictures.

Either there is singing and dancing, and there is harmony.

Either that, you have to eat human flesh and drink human blood, which is nothing but hellish misery and feudal superstition.

Her intuition told her that what Shitou said should be the second one.

"what is the problem?"

Ling Fengshuo's expression became serious and he asked coldly.

Stone shook his head.

"I have no idea……"

"I accidentally heard what my parents said. They said that fire and water will rise from the ground within three months and will flood the entire island! If you don't want to make the gods who oversee the fire and water angry,... you have to Use the crescent moon as a sacrifice! Throw it into the fire and water!"

"what?"

Jiang Yunluo was so shocked that she could barely hold the tools in her hands.

Throw a child, no more than a few years old, into the lava alive?

Simply inhuman!

"What else do you know?"

Ling Fengshuo continued to ask.

Shitou carefully recalled what he had just heard, and then said: "I also heard... I also heard my parents saying that Yue Yaer was pitiful. From yesterday, she was not allowed to eat meat until she was sacrificed to the gods. You can only eat vegetables, saying that you have to keep it clean so that the gods will be happy!”

“That’s nonsense!!!”

Jiang Yunluo threw the tool in her hand on the wooden board with a thud, and stood up aggressively!

She had probably figured out what was going on.

Because Crescent Moon was chosen as a sacrifice.

That's why they asked people to keep a close eye on their family of three.

Because as a father and a mother, they do not want their children to die!

As for the others...

As long as you can save the entire island and the environment it depends on for survival, what does it matter if you sacrifice a child who is not your own?

So the villagers talked and watched, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand!

Go and resist this cult-like festival!

I'm afraid Yue Ya'er is not the first child to be chosen as a sacrifice...

It's all ridiculous.

Absolutely ridiculous! ! !

"Sister, when will you be able to build the ship!"

Shitou was still dreaming that Jiang Yunluo could take them out of here before the festival.

Jiang Yunluo did not answer.

Because even if the ship is built, they will not be able to go to sea if the fog on the sea does not clear.

Even if she only became thinner and could see the direction clearly, she still dared to give it a try.

But no.

The thick fog has not changed at all until now.

This island, which has exposed its claws and has lost all humanity, is completely isolated from the outside world.
