strongest partner

Hearing that Fang Shaoyan wanted to find the village chief, the people who had been chatting happily with him suddenly became silent. Fang Shaoyan touched his head, pretended to be ignorant, and asked, "What's wrong? I said the wrong thing Is it...or...the village chief is not here?"

"Uh...the village head is indeed not at home right now..." Someone said, "The village head is busy choosing sacrifices now!"

"Sacrifice?" Fang Shaoyan's face was stunned, "I heard that some villages still retain the custom of worshiping gods and offering sacrifices, so it is true! So, we are really lucky to see the sacrifice meeting in the village, It must be very lively, right?"

The faces of those villagers were a little unnatural, "Uh...it's quite lively...but, I advise you to leave this place before the sacrifice..."

"Why?" Fang Shaoyan asked strangely.

"Because...because..." Those people hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but dared not.

At this moment, there was a violent commotion in the distance.

"What happened?" Fang Shaoyan asked, but no one answered him, but everyone fell into a strange silence.

Not far away, a large group of people came over. The ones walking in front were a few older old men, followed by a group of tall and strong men. Why does it look like bandits have entered the village?What is even more noticeable is that those men escorted a young girl, and the girl cried and cried all the way, pear blossoms raining down on her face, what a pity!

"What's the situation?" Fang Shaoyan leaned close to Minghua's ear and asked in a low voice.

Minghua spread his hands, "I don't know! It looks a bit like a plot where a bully robs a civilian girl. Anyway, I haven't seen it before..."

"What the hell do you think it is now? You're still robbing civilian girls! You think it's still more than 100 years ago!" Fang Shaoyan glared at him and said angrily.

"Otherwise, what do you think this is?"

Fang Shaoyan thought for a while and said, "It's just this remote village, where did the bandits come from? Just now I remembered that those children said that the village chief went to choose the tribute for the sacrifice? Maybe these people are..."

"what do you mean……"

Seeing those people coming here, the people chatting with Fang Shaoyan just now scattered away, only Fang Shaoyan and Minghua were still standing in the middle of the road in a daze.

"Outsider?"

Those old men saw two people standing in the middle of the road, and said coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Fang Shaoyan looked at the old men in front of him. The average age was around five or sixty years old, but all of them were in good spirits. Maybe it was because the mountains were not polluted and full of aura, so that all the old men in the mountains were nourished. In good spirits.

"Uh... I... We are tourists who came to Qingluo Mountain for tourism. Because we got lost in the mountain, we finally found this village. We want to stay here for a few days!"

When Fang Shaoyan and Minghua were chased by black bears before, their clothes were cut by thorns and other plants, and there were also many red wounds on their faces and arms. It is convenient to believe their words.

"Since you are a foreign tourist, you must understand the principle of doing as the Romans do. If you cause trouble here, our Luojia Village will definitely not welcome you!" The leader of the old man warned him sternly.

Fang Shaoyan nodded hurriedly, "We will be honest and never cause trouble! Therefore, I would like to ask the village chief to take us in for a few days. My companion was injured. He was almost bitten to death by a wild animal. When his injury is better, I will I will take him out of here immediately!"

Fang Shaoyan said solemnly, he could see that the leaders of this village didn't like outsiders at all, but those ordinary villagers had a very simple personality.

"Really?" The old man looked at Minghua beside Fang Shaoyan, and saw that his face was pale, and the white bandages exposed from his tattered clothes had long been soaked in blood, making him look horrible. "In this case, you should stay here first! However, after seven days, you must leave here! On the day of worshiping the mountain god, the mountain god does not want to see outsiders bring the filth here!" Fang Shaoyan's face showed With a embarrassed look, "Seven days...seven days may not be enough! My friend is seriously injured, and I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in a month or two, right?"

The old man's face suddenly became gloomy, "Seven days is enough for his injury to heal, as long as his leg is fine, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get out of here?"

"Uh..." Fang Shaoyan was really taken aback by the other party's rude attitude. This old man's spirit is too good, and he can say such... words...

However, judging from the other party's dialogue and attitude, Fang Shaoyan can already confirm that this old man is the village chief of Luojia Village. After all, the only person who can say such words under such circumstances is the village chief of Luojia Village.

In line with Fang Shaoyan's words, Minghua pretended to be weak on purpose, slumped on Fang Shaoyan's body limply, and said, "Forget it, seven days...seven days is seven days...it's better than staying in the barren mountains, and the people in the village are willing to take him in." We are already the greatest help to us..."

Perhaps seeing Minghua's appearance as if he was seriously injured, the village chief seemed a little moved, coughed lightly, and said, "The sacrifice ceremony of the mountain god is the most important thing in our village, so we can't neglect it, so we can only wrong two Sir! However, I will arrange suitable accommodation for you and the best doctor in the village, Qingluo Mountain has the best wild herbs, even if it only takes seven days, I can guarantee that your friend will be cured!"

Fang Shaoyan showed a look of joy on his face, "Thank you, village chief! You are really good people!"

Minghua next to him couldn't help but trembled. Normally, he seemed to be quite honest, but he didn't expect that he was also good at deceiving people. He really can't be fooled by appearances!

The village chief said something to a man beside him. The man walked up to Fang Shaoyan and Minghua and said, "Follow me, gentlemen, and I'll find you a place to live!"

"I really... thank you so much!"

The man took the two of them to the east of the village. Before they had gone a few steps, they suddenly heard a quarrel behind them.

Fang Shaoyan and Minghua couldn't help but stop, turned their heads to look, and saw a young man rushing out of the crowd, arguing fiercely with the group of village chiefs.

Because there was a distance, and the young man in the quarrel was facing them with his back, Fang Shaoyan couldn't see the man's face clearly at all, and only vaguely felt that the man's attire was a bit out of place with the village.

The young man was wearing a clean and tidy gray coat and gray trousers, which stood out from a pile of rough crops.

Because of their cultivation, Fang Shaoyan and Minghua had better hearing than ordinary people, and they could clearly hear the voices of the young people and those in the village.

"As I said, it is illegal for you to do this! Now is a society ruled by law! How can you sacrifice a living person! This is murder!," Luo Yuncong!It's none of your business here!Get the hell out of me! "

"I won't go! With me here, I will never watch you murder people!"

"Inverted! Inverted! Yun Cong, do you think that after studying abroad for a few years and studying for a few years, you are superior to others, right? Let me tell you, I have the final say in this Luojia Village! It's none of your business here Do what you should do! Don't take what you learned outside and bring it back to Luojia Village!"

"Dad! Feudal superstition kills people! There are no mountain gods in this world! The sacrifices you send every year are just feeding the wild animals in the mountains! What are you planning for?"

"What do you know? After offering sacrifices and the mountain god is happy, there will be no natural disasters. Our village is in good weather and everyone is well fed and clothed. What is wrong with sacrificing one person in exchange for peace in the village? It's not right!"

"Dad...you are simply ignorant! Unreasonable!" Seeing that he couldn't explain any reason to them, the young man stepped forward to rob them, but it was a pity that the young man's body like a clerk could not be that of those who have been working in the mountains all year round. His opponent, with only two blows, was pushed to the ground by the opponents.

Seeing this scene, Minghua couldn't help but said: "Under normal circumstances, if you want to be a hero to save the beauty, you also have to see if you have the ability! Look at that kid, who dares to hit a stone with an egg, really Stupid!"

Fang Shaoyan did not agree with his theory, "Knowing that it is impossible, but still bravely stand up and criticize, this young man is very courageous!"

Minghua shook his head, "If you are strong, you are naturally a hero, but if you are weak, doing this is purely courting death!"

"You are stupid! Listen to them, that young man should be the son of the village head, those people will not do anything to him! I think the young man knows this too, so he dared to talk to them.

But the fact is just as Fang Shaoyan guessed, after the young man was pushed to the ground, two people helped him up immediately, and the village chief ordered those people to send the young man home and lock him in the house. Come out and make trouble.

The turmoil came and went quickly, and the young man was quickly taken away. However, he refused to cooperate halfway, kept shouting and struggling until he was taken away, and finally calmed down.

And those villagers who watched the excitement, no one dared to say a word from the beginning to the end, which made Fang Shaoyan wonder, did no one in Luojia Village raise any objections to the use of living people to sacrifice?

Minghua patted Fang Shaoyan on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at it, this is someone else's housework, we don't want to interfere! Besides, it's not time to sacrifice to the mountain god, even if you want to save people, it's too late. Just wait and see!"

Fang Shaoyan nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Ah Hao, why haven't they come yet? Didn't they find Qian Lixiang?"

Minghua frowned, "I don't know... Maybe...they are in danger?"
