half an hour-

Jiang Yunluo suddenly said: "Shitou, you go home first. My sister will find a way to deal with the festival."

Thinking that she was talking about finding ways to build a ship quickly, Shitou immediately nodded, his face relaxed a little, and then he hurried away.

Jiang Yunluo watched his back go away, but her expression became more and more gloomy.

It wasn't until the figure disappeared that she stood up suddenly.

"Yao'er?"

Ling Fengshuo was a little surprised.

Then Jiang Yunluo said: "I want to go to the magma cave again, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Ling Fengshuo stood beside her in two steps and took her hand into his palm.

Although worried.

But he just knew that Jiang Yunluo would never ignore this matter.

In this case, just accompany him on the adventure.

The two of them directly followed the memory of last time and came to the outside of the magma cave again.

The entrance to the cave was no different from before. It was covered by tall grass and looked like just an inconspicuous cave.

But only those who have been there know how dangerous it is inside.

The two of them walked along the wall and headed inside.

Even before I saw the magma, I could already feel the heat that was even more scorching than last time.

"The temperature is rising."

Jiang Yunluo whispered.

As she said that, she turned a corner and saw the cliff where she and Ling Fengshuo almost lost their lives last time.

The two looked at each other, walked over holding hands, and stood on the edge of the cliff.

Jiang Yunluo glanced at the rolling magma for a few times, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "It does look more active than the last time I came here, and there is a possibility that it will rise."

But it’s hard to tell with the naked eye right now.

If the magma is really rising a little every day at a speed invisible to the naked eye, then it should be obvious in ten days and a half.

Thinking about it, her expression became even colder.

Just because of the abnormal movement of the magma, a young life was sacrificed alive!

I'm afraid the people living in this village are not a bunch of ghosts in human skin!

But obviously only one person can make this kind of decision.

thinking about—

Jiang Yunluo suddenly turned around and ran straight out of the cave.

Ling Fengshuo raised his heels and didn't ask a single word.

Jiang Yunluo returned to the village directly.

Go straight to the most conspicuous courtyard in the entire village.

The reason why he is conspicuous is not because it is more luxurious than other courtyards.

Rather, this courtyard happens to form the vertex of an irregular polygon.

Scatter downwards.

Jiang Yunluo knew that it was the village chief's residence.

There were not many people in the village at this time, and Jiang Yunluo didn't attract any attention and rushed directly into the village chief's courtyard!

The white-haired old man was sitting under the tree, closing his eyes and meditating.

Hearing some movement, he opened his eyes calmly.

The moment he saw that the person coming was Jiang Yunluo, a flash of defensiveness flashed in his eyes.

"You two came to see me, is there something wrong?"

The village chief sat up calmly, his tone neither welcoming nor impatient.

Jiang Yunluo took a step forward and got straight to the point: "I have something to ask the village chief. Can you lend me a moment to speak?"

The village chief didn't answer.

Youshen stared at the two of them for a long time, and then stood up.

"Come in."

He turned and walked towards the old house.

Jiang Yunluo and Ling Fengshuo followed him, and when they entered the house, they discovered that he seemed to be the only one living here.

There are no traces of other people's lives.

Ling Fengshuo casually opened the door ajar.

Jiang Yunluo also asked directly: "I want to ask, what is going on in the village's festival? And why was Yue Ya'er chosen to be the so-called sacrifice?"

The village chief had already guessed that the two of them were here for this matter.

But I didn't expect that my face would change instantly after knowing it so clearly!

"How do you know?"

He gripped the cane tremblingly, his face full of nervousness.

Jiang Yunluo made a cold sound.

"It doesn't matter how we know. Just tell me if there is any room for change in this matter!"

When the village chief saw her tough attitude, he was not frightened and turned his back.

"Since you already know it, you understand that the rules left by our ancestors must not be broken!"

"But what if this rule is ridiculous!"

By using human sacrifices, aren't they afraid of retribution?

"you!"

Hearing what she said, the village chief banged his cane on the ground and turned around angrily!

"Sacrifice, right? To protect the whole village! Being chosen as a saint is an honor for our ancestors! How can we allow you to defile it!"

He tremblingly raised his crutch and pointed it directly at Jiang Yunluo.

"go out……"

"This matter has nothing to do with you! You are just living here! Being able to have a place to stay in the village is already wide open! If you still want to meddle in other people's business, don't blame me for driving you out mercilessly!"

"What if I can do something about it!"

Jiang Yunluo roared angrily.

Following her words, the village chief was obviously stunned for a moment.

Jiang Yunluo thought he would be overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, he snorted disdainfully.

"Oh, there's a way."

"If you have a way, go and try it. There are still three months until the festival. If you can appease the gods and prevent the fire and water from growing, I will cancel the festival!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Yunluo agreed immediately, pulled Ling Fengshuo and turned around to leave.

Full of anger aroused by the stubborn old thing, Jiang Yunluo pulled him back to his residence in one breath, and then she realized that she had actually led him all the way.

After reacting, she subconsciously let go.

But there was no time.

Ling Fengshuo took the lead and locked hands with her, leading her directly to the bed.

"What do you want to do again?"

Jiang Yunluo's eyes were wary.

Ling Fengshuo raised the corners of his lips and smiled harmlessly.

"Of course I'm resting. When Yao'er is worried, doesn't she just like to sit alone and be silent?"

He didn't know whether to care about her complaints or observe carefully, but Jiang Yunluo had nothing to say in reply.

Shaking off his hand, he sat alone on the edge of the bed, leaning against the wall and thinking.

She was not impulsive today.

only……

I didn't think of a way for a while.

That's magma.

Even if the entire hole is blown up, it will only suppress the magma underground.

If it really breaks out, no matter who it is, they can't stop it.

What's more, if it is not handled properly, it is possible that the magma will rise even more.

but……

It would be even more nonsense if the magma could be calmed down by just relying on that ridiculous sacrifice!

What should I do……

"Frowning again."

Ling Fengshuo's voice suddenly came to mind.

Jiang Yunluo suddenly came to her senses and realized that he had sat beside her at some point.

Then he saw his head being pressed gently and resting on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will work with you to find a solution. If it doesn't work... let's build a small boat first and leave with Yue Yaer's family."

Ling Fengshuo said it easily.

Jiang Yunluo said nothing, knowing that he was just comforting her.

The close distance between the two made her instinctively want to avoid them.

But don't know why.

Even her body tilted toward him.

There is even a tendency to relax.

She is so tired.

Just think of it as... taking a break.
