Did the salted fish turn over today?

He will definitely be expelled from the Anaconda Department, then he can leave Mang Mountain, go out, see the mountains and seas, and go wherever he wants!

Seeing Nia's expression was wrong, Wu Yichen called him softly: "Nia? Are you uncomfortable?"

Nia suddenly came back to her senses and quickly shook her head. Wu Yichen smiled and said, "Aren't you very interested in that piano? Do you want to learn it? I can teach you."

Nia was a little taken aback: "Are you... willing to teach me?"

Wu Yichen said strangely: "Why don't you want to do this, you are willing to learn!"

When he came to the piano, Wu Yichen took a deep breath and said with emotion: "I was only six years old when I learned the piano, and I couldn't even step on the pedals while sitting on a stool!"

Niah couldn't understand what he said, so Wu Yichen sat on the stone bench and said, "I'll practice first!"

Melodious music flowed from Wu Yichen's fingertips, gurgling like flowing water and like smoke.The misty mountains and forests at night seemed to appear in front of Nia, and the music sounded like a cold evening wind, accompanied by the sound of running water passing through the gaps in the trees and blowing on her cheeks.With the change of speed and intensity, Nia couldn't help getting excited, but all the excitement gradually slowed down, and the music returned to calm until the last note disappeared on the keys, and Nia's heart also returned to peace.

Wu Yichen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, this time is not wasted, how is it? Want to try?"

Seeing him standing still, Wu Yichen thought he was shy, so he pushed him down on the stool and began to teach him how to play.

"Press the keys with your fingertips, and your fingers should stand up a little..."

Wu Yichen is a dedicated teacher, but Nia is an inattentive student. The more serious Wu Yichen teaches, the stronger the conflict in Nia's heart. Such a kind and simple person has no intentions and no defense against himself. Can you bear to watch him being trapped here for the rest of his life, never to be free again?

Wu Yichen felt that Nia was a little absent-minded, thought that he was just nervous and didn't care, and only told Nia to practice hard, while he ran to the side to write and draw on the slate with stones.

The day of the sacrifice is getting closer and closer, and Niah has also learned the piano from Wu Yichen for a period of time. The two teenagers are still the same as before. Teach Nia to play the piano.

problem occurs

The next morning, Nia went out to get food and water as usual. Wu Yichen propped his chin and looked out the window in a daze. He knew that Nia was in a bad mood recently and had something to hide from him, but he really didn’t want to ask other people’s concerns. He was afraid that he would say he was blind. worry.

There was a sound of metal colliding outside the window, Wu Yichen quickly got down and hid, the sound stopped outside the window and there was no movement, just when he thought he had left and was about to get up, a batik cloth bag was thrown in from the window, and at the same time He heard the girl's chuckle.

After being dazed for a long time, Wu Yichen reached out to open the cloth bag. It was a heavy bag of wild fruits—someone found him hiding here.

When Niah came back with food, she saw the cloth bag at a glance, and hurriedly asked where it came from.After hearing the truth from Wu Yichen, the young man paced around the ground annoyed, and shouted at Wu Yichen: "Didn't I tell you not to be discovered by others?!"

Wu Yichen was taken aback by his yelling, and Nia continued to yell loudly: "You are an outsider and you will die if you are found out, don't you know?!"

"If they find out that you can make the oracle speak, they will definitely keep you here, and you will be trapped here for the rest of your life like me! You can't leave for the rest of your life, you know?!"

The depression of the past few days finally broke out. Niah got very angry with Wu Yichen, and Wu Yichen accepted it without saying a word. He listened to Niah's longing for freedom and heard Niah's contradictions to him. He was calm in Niah. After coming down, Wu Yichen asked softly: "Then why didn't you tell the elder? If I stay, you can leave, right?"

Nia wiped the tears from her face and murmured, "Yeah...why didn't I tell the elder..."

"I also want to tell the elders, I want to leave here too." Nia said, "but I can't do that... the old priest died when I was five years old, and I live alone in this temple, if not The tribal elders asked me to arrange a sacrifice, and I can’t even remember how to speak.”

"You are the only person who is my age, and the only friend I have in this world. I never know what is a friend and what is a family. I only know the gods, and I only know that what I should do is to provide for the gods. Because of you , I know there are so many things out there, and because of you, I know that there are other ways to live my life."

"You are my friend, the only friend in my life. I don't want to see you go my way. It's really hard to live alone. You shouldn't suffer like that."

Wu Yichen stretched out his hand to hold the weeping Nia in his arms. He knew how difficult it was to make such a decision for Nia, and how painful it was when he decided to give up, which might be the only chance in his life to get out of here.

Nia sniffed, patted him on the back and said, "The elder sister threw you a cloth bag, and she might not tell the elders, but your existence has already been known, and the temple is no longer safe. I once discovered Go through a secret passage, where you can avoid the guards and leave the anaconda, you must leave before the ceremony, if you are discovered, your identity will be determined during the ceremony, and you will never be able to leave."

Nia, who had made a plan, began to explore the way for Wu Yichen. Wu Yichen also persuaded him to leave with him, but Nia refused: "I can't leave. Although the path is secret, it is not completely unknown. Once I leave, it will cause trouble." Their vigilance will make you more dangerous by then."

Wu Yichen asked him: "Did you ever think about leaving?"

Nia smiled and shook her head: "If you leave, you will be alone. What is the difference between being outside and being here?"

Wu Yichen held his hand and said earnestly: "Now you are not alone, there is me outside, after I go out and arrange everything, you also come out to find me, I will take you to find a way to return to my hometown go!"

No one has ever said such a thing to him, never thought about him, Nia fought back tears and nodded emphatically.

The day of the festival is approaching, Niah prepares rations and water for Wu Yichen, and prepares to send him away on the eve of the festival.

The mountains and forests in the early morning are still as beautiful as a picture scroll. Nia came to the agreed place to pick up supplies as usual, but found that the altar in front of the temple was empty. He looked around curiously, but saw something at the end of the stone steps. Eyes wide open, he hurriedly turned around and ran back to the temple, tearing Wu Yichen off the altar who was practicing piano.

Wu Yichen was staggered by his pull, and while trying to stand still, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Nia pushed him into the dark hole under the altar, and told him in a trembling voice: "No matter what you see or hear, don't come out, don't make a sound if you hear it!"

Seeing that he was still at a loss, Nia shouted sharply: "Did you hear that!"

Before Wu Yichen could nod his head, loud noises poured into the temple, Niah pushed the man into the depths of the cave with force, and moved the stone bench in front of the piano to seal the cave entrance.

Wu Yichen fell heavily to the ground, struggled to rush to the crack to check, and saw a strong man dressed as a Nakang, dog-legged leading a man with a knife in, and behind them were many people with weapons in their hands. People, the old man Wu Yichen who was escorted by those people had seen it before, it was the elder Boa who came to the temple last time.

Before Wu Yichen could understand the situation in front of him, he heard the strong man say in official Chinese with a strong accent: "This is the oracle! It has been hidden in the temple all along."

Niah was standing by the entrance of the cave. Although Wu Yichen couldn't see it, he knew that the child must be terrified.The elder could understand the official language, and Niah said that his official language was taught by the elder to the old priest, and the old priest taught him again. The strong man's words obviously angered him, and the old man shouted excitedly: "It was you who brought us here. Bring disaster to the anaconda! You will be punished by the snake god! You will be burned by fire and your soul will never be at peace!!"

Gritting his teeth, the strong man rushed over to hit the old man, but the man with the knife reached out to stop him, turned his head and walked towards Nia.The view in the cave was limited, Wu Yichen couldn't see the man's face clearly, but could barely see his clothes.

The man stopped in front of Nia and spoke in a lazy voice, "You are the priest? Can you explain this oracle?"

Nia didn't reply, but the elder yelled something in Nakang, but Wu Yichen couldn't understand it, and he could guess that it must be asking him to protect the oracle or something.The man with the saber gave a "tsk", turned his head and walked down the altar. Before Wu Yichen could react, he saw him unsheath his saber and stab the old man through his chest.

Niah screamed in shock, and fell to the ground, and Wu Yichen in the cave was also terrified.

The man with the saber walked up to Nia with a big knife that was dripping with blood, wiped the blood on the cloth on his arm, and said in a cold voice, "I'll ask again, Oracle, can you solve it?"

The face-to-face killing also scared the strong man leading the way. He rushed to Nia and growled anxiously: "Don't be stupid! What's the use of guarding here! Tell the truth quickly, and we can leave with the adults. The world is much more interesting than this mountain!"

Nia was trembling uncontrollably, the man with the knife pushed away the strong man, pinched Nia's chin and said chillingly: "I know you can understand what I said, I just want to know if you can relieve your nerves Yu, if you can't tell me who can solve it, I won't embarrass you if I tell you the truth."

The elder died tragically in front of him, and Nia only had the splattered blood in his mind, and there was nothing but a blank, and he couldn't think of anything else.Wu Yichen was frightened by the killing scene just now, and he also knew that Nia was frightened. He was relieved when he heard the man's question, and he gritted his teeth and was about to rush out.The strong man leading the way over there exhausted his patience, kicked Nia down and punched and kicked him, with some curses mixed in during the process, Nia turned his face sideways in pain, lying on the ground, he was looking into Wu Yichen's eyes, and he avoided it. Wu Yichen could see that he was saying "don't come out" as he was talking silently around his fists and feet.

The man with the knife was obviously in a bad mood. He pulled Nia up hard and threw him to the edge of the altar. Nia endured the pain and moved his body to block the leaking stone crack. sentence.

Thus, Wu Yichen watched helplessly as the smiling dog-legged human head spun in the air and landed on Nia's hand. Blood gushed out from the headless torso, turning Nia into a bloody man.The head with bulging eyes was facing Wu Yichen in the cave, he even saw the head opened his mouth, as if he wanted to tell the truth but he couldn't make a sound, only thick black blood gushed out from his mouth, splashing across the cracks in Wu Yichen. On his face, he forcefully suppressed the scream that was about to come out into his throat.

"How." The man with the knife said to Nia, "Can you tell me now, can you solve the oracle?"

Wu Yichen saw Nia struggling to stand up and walked up to the altar, and soon heard the sound of the piano, which was the simplest "Two Tigers" he taught Nia, he saw the man waving to the subordinates behind him, He reached out and picked up Nia's collar and dragged him outside.

Wu Yichen sat in the cave for an unknown amount of time, until the noise was completely quiet, and there was no sound of insects in his ears, then he pushed the stone bench and climbed out of the cave with weak hands and feet.

The altar was empty, and Nia and Qin didn't know where they took them. Only the dark red blood on the ground showed the tragedy that happened here.

Wu Yichen stumbled and ran out of the cave, the sticky blood on his body reminded him of the head with protruding eyeballs, and the strong nausea made him crouch on the ground and vomit.

Wu Yichen didn't dare to enter the temple again, he wanted to go to the village to tell the villagers about the tragedy here, and wanted them to beware and let them leave quickly, Wu Yichen didn't dare to take the main road, so he had to hide in the lush bamboo forest and walk cautiously, seeing the village from a distance On the ridge of the roof, his heart beat violently, but he didn't think that he was in the village, and he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

The naked corpses were randomly piled up in the square, and the murderers stabbed the chest of each corpse with a long knife in their hands. The technique was cold and skillful. To them, killing people seemed to be no different from killing pigs.Wrapped in clothes already soaked in cold sweat, Wu Yichen walked away from the village lightly, returned to the temple, and hid in the cave under the altar.
