S-level high-risk personality, you call this a pitiful thing?

Chapter 144: Mouyu Village - Tribute
He squatted beside Lan Tong and looked at her pitifully.

Lu Li imitated A Qiang's tone in a sarcastic manner in the space.

"Please don't be angry, okay? Did he want to add another sentence, "Baby~"

Lan Tong almost died of laughter at Lu Li's asking-for-a-beating look.

"Shenjin, get out."

Although Aqiang stayed, he seemed absent-minded.

Fortunately, Ji Yu came back soon.

Ji Yu's expression didn't change at all, he still looked ignorant and calm.

A Qiang asked a few questions intentionally or unintentionally, and Ji Yu answered them all very seriously. Only then did A Qiang dispel his suspicion of Ji Yu.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the snacks in the bag were almost eaten up by Lan Tong, and then Chen Guizi came back with Doctor Wang.

When he entered the room and saw everyone, Chen Quezi laughed dryly and said, "My wife is very ill. Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I will stamp your documents right away."

As he spoke, he rummaged through the boxes and cupboards to find something to use for stamping.

Lan Tong smelled a hint of blood for no reason when the two people got close to each other.

The bloody smell also smelled a bit like rotting flesh.

When this thought popped up in her mind, Lan Tong was a little confused. She seemed to have never seen rotten human flesh, so why did she know the source of this smell?
Doctor Wang and Chen Guizi looked normal, but Lan Tong keenly noticed a little blood on the lower part of Doctor Wang's trouser leg.

It seems that these two people did something big during the time they disappeared.

"How is Aunt Chen's health?" Lan Tong asked naturally.

A Qiang's expression was dull for a moment. Chen Quezi also looked very uncomfortable with this question. He stuttered and couldn't continue the conversation. Finally, Doctor Wang spoke.

"The Chen family's wife... had a minor illness, which was contagious. She couldn't get off the bed. I prescribed some medicine for her, and she got better after taking it for a while."

Chen Guizi's smile was somewhat forced. He took out his seal to stamp the form, and subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, now that the seal is stamped, I won't keep you here. I have to boil some medicine later, and the whole yard will be filled with the smell of medicine and you will be choked by it."

A Qiang said: "Let's go."

Lan Tong nodded, showing no intention of staying to ask more questions.

This made Aqiang and the other two feel relieved.

……

After leaving Old Chen's house, Doctor Wang said a few polite words and left with his medicine box.

A Qiang followed Lan Tong and Ji Yu to the village chief's house.

"I think it's still early for lunch, how about I take you around after we hand in the bills?"

Ji Yu glanced at him indifferently.

He knew that the word "we" was added forcefully.

Aqiang definitely doesn't want to take him around.

Lan Tong chuckled and said, "Sure, why don't you take us to the mountains? I haven't been to the mountains yet."

"Go to the mountains?" Ah Qiang forced himself to keep a smile and said, "Why should we go to the mountains? There are wolves on the mountains. People in our village usually don't go to the mountains."

"I want to see."

"There's nothing to see on the mountain. Our village's custom is to bury the dead on the mountain. Now the mountain is full of graves, which doesn't look nice. Let's just walk around the village."

Facing Aqiang's refusal, Lan Tong sighed and said, "I was thinking of going to the mountains to see if there are any pheasants or something like that and asking Ji Yu to roast them for me. I'm not used to the food in the village."

"You want to eat roasted chicken?" A Qiang thought he got the point of Lan Tong's words. "Leave it to me. Go back to the residence and wait. I'll bring you roasted chicken for lunch. Don't go up the mountain. It's too dangerous."

"Thank you, Brother Qiang."

When Lan Tong came to the village chief's house again, he felt an indescribable sense of depression as soon as he entered the house.

The dull feeling that made people feel dizzy was too strong.

Ji Yu followed A Qiang to find the village chief to hand in the bill. Lan Tong stood aside, and his eyes unconsciously began to look for the demon statue he saw yesterday.

It is still enshrined on the platform in good condition.

I don't know what material it is made of. At first glance it looks like white porcelain, but if you look closely you can see strands of gold on it, as if some gold was mixed in when the porcelain was fired, so that it could be fired into this light gold color in the snow.

The demon god has a handsome and handsome face, long hair like a waterfall, and is dressed in a complicated ancient robe. His lower body is a snake tail coiled into a ball. If you look closely, you can see the uneven scales on the snake tail.

Although his facial features had no color, the more Lan Tong looked at him, the more she felt that his pair of slender eyes seemed to come alive. Just like last night, they were looking at her with a playful and malicious look.

An indescribable chill made her feel uncomfortable all over, as if the cold, damp and sticky feeling of a snake's tail sticking to her skin came back again.

Evil door.

Lan Tong subconsciously took a step back and stopped looking.

After submitting the list, Ji Yu took Lan Tong away.

After the two left, the house became eerily quiet.

Ah Qiang felt that something was wrong with the village chief, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he asked like a fool: "Village chief, do you want to eat roast chicken?"

The village chief sneered and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to roast a chicken? Did that girl say she wanted to eat it?"

Ah Qiang lowered his head and said, "She is from the city, so she is not used to the food in our village. I just bought her some snacks, but she doesn't seem to like them very much."

"Haha, it's good enough to give her a bite to eat."

The village chief spoke with an inexplicable sense of superiority, "The foreign girl we sent yesterday probably hasn't even had a sip of water yet, but she's so good, she's already asking for this and that before she even gets married. It's only because you spoil her like this. If you listened to me, you would have just sent her to the bed. How would she dare to ask for so much? I'll beat her to death."

When Aqiang heard this, he lowered his head like a quail and said nothing.

The village chief looked at him with a look of disappointment, "Before you came, the great god Fuxi told me something. Do you want to listen? It's about that girl."

A Qiang was startled and suddenly looked up, subconsciously looking towards the statue.

Before he could even see him, the village chief shouted at him, "You bastard! Are you crazy? Do you think you can see the great god Fuxi?"

A Qiang had no choice but to turn around and look at the village chief with a pleading look on his face.

"Village leader, what did the great god say?"

The village chief tapped his pipe and asked, "What? Are you worried now?"

Aqiang was not just anxious, he was extremely anxious.

Fuxi is the god who protects their village and one of the three ancestor gods of chaos. Pangu created the world, Nuwa created human beings, and Fuxi formulated the laws.

Basically, every time someone came from outside, Fuxi would personally name one of them as a tribute for the bonfire party.

He was really afraid that Lan Tong would be unlucky and be chosen by Fuxi, but the previous tributes were basically all men, and there were very few women.

"What did you say? Can you tell me?"

The village chief took a puff of his cigarette helplessly and said, "What else can I say? The bonfire party is only a few days away, so just name that girl as the tribute."

When Aqiang heard the news, his eyes dimmed instantly.

He had been trying every possible way to protect Lan Tong after marrying her, but when the news came out, he knew that all his efforts were in vain.

Those who are chosen as tributes must die, and the most important process of the bonfire ceremony is to pay tribute.
