Although Ye Fei said this, she was still uncertain about the appearance of the bloody sky.
Because according to modern scientific explanations, there are only a few reasons for the formation of the bloody sky:
First, forest fires illuminate the sky.
Second, the earthquake light released on the eve of the earthquake illuminated the entire sky.
Third, natural phenomena.
Fourth, the scattering and refraction of light.
As for the fourth point, Ye Fei can completely rule it out.
Because there were no such conditions in ancient times.
The second point is possible, but unlikely.
After all, to create such a bloody sky, there must be a raging fire.
The biggest mountain close to Moon City is Beast Mountain.
However, there had just been a heavy rainstorm that caused flooding, so there was no possibility of spontaneous combustion of the mountains.
Even if not all the people who were in Beast Mountain had left, it would be impossible for them to artificially create such a large fire.
Ye Fei felt that earthquakes and natural phenomena were the two most likely reasons for the appearance of the bloody sky.
But in order to appease Lin Xue'e and the others, Ye Fei finally chose the astronomical explanation.
But just in case, Ye Fei still found an opportunity to ask Ye Qingyun:
"Dad, do you have any other knowledge about Moon City and its surrounding geographical structure?"
"For example, has there ever been an earthquake in Moon City?"
"It's the earthquake..."
Ye Qingyun looked at Ye Fei with some doubt: "Fei'er, why do you ask this?"
"Is the bloody sky related to the earthquake?"
Ye Qingyun was very perceptive. He felt that Ye Fei would not ask him such a question for no reason.
Ye Fei did not answer directly but acted coquettishly: "I'm just asking casually."
"Dad, just tell me."
Ye Fei is not a person who likes to act like a spoiled child usually, so how can Ye Qingyun resist her like this?
So he naturally told what he knew: "According to my understanding, there has been no record of earthquakes in Yuecheng before."
"As for the area around Moon City..."
Ye Qingyun paused here.
Ye Fei immediately asked nervously: "Has there been an earthquake around Yuecheng?"
Ye Qingyun nodded slightly and then shook his head: "Strictly speaking, it can't be considered as the surrounding area of Yuecheng."
"That place is still some distance away from Moon City."
“Although there is only one record of an earthquake, that place has long been uninhabited.”
"The last earthquake didn't have much impact on Yuecheng, otherwise Yuecheng might not be as prosperous as it is now."
"And there was no record of a bloody sky appearing during the last earthquake in that area."
"If such a strange astronomical phenomenon really occurred, it would be impossible not to record it."
Ye Qingyun emphasized this point at the end of his speech.
Although Ye Fei denied that these questions were related to the earthquake, Ye Qingyun still brought it up.
Ye Fei was thoughtful when he heard this: "Is that so."
"That's fine, we'll just have a good rest in the inn."
If it is really as Ye Qingyun said, then the sudden appearance of the blood-red sky should have nothing to do with the earthquake...
Since it had nothing to do with the earthquake, she was in no hurry to leave.
After all, it is hard to feel at ease with the blood all over the sky.
Leaving on the road like this, not to mention the grown man Ye Qingyun, both Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling must be feeling uneasy.
The appearance of the blood-red sky not only stimulated the common people of Yuecheng, but also stimulated the dignitaries like Wang Zhi.
Soon, Wang Zhi sent guards to announce the order from the City Lord's Mansion with drums and gongs:
"The City Lord's Mansion has issued an order to advance the sacrifice."
"The City Lord's Mansion has issued an order that every household must offer a boy or girl as a sacrifice."
"The City Lord's Mansion has issued an order that the sacrifice will be held tonight."
"The City Lord's Mansion has issued an order that all people in Yuecheng must go to the original City Lord's Mansion to watch the sacrificial ceremony."
"The City Lord's Mansion has issued an order that no one may leave Moon City before the sacrificial ceremony."
"The city lord's palace has an order..."
The sounds of the guards in the City Lord's Mansion beating drums and gongs seemed particularly abrupt and clear under the blood-red sky and on the silent streets.
Of course, if the guards' trembling was ignored, Ye Fei believed that their appearance would appear more imposing.
only……
If every household offers a boy and girl for sacrifice, wouldn't the scope and number of people affected be too large?
While Ye Fei was thinking about this, Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling came over.
Especially Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e, their thoughts are the same as Ye Fei's.
"What does the City Lord's Mansion mean?"
"Are Lord Wang and the others crazy?"
"There are so many people in Yuecheng. If every household offered a boy or girl as a sacrifice, how many people would die?"
"Do so many innocent children really have to die for the sacrificial ceremony?"
"And such a bloody sky has never appeared before."
"Who can guarantee that the bloody sky will disappear after the sacrifice?"
"If not, wouldn't those children have died in vain?"
As a woman and a mother, Lin Xue'e's maternal radiance is very strong at this moment.
Although she still had some concerns about Ye Fei's explanation of the astronomical phenomena, Lin Xue'e was more inclined to this statement from the bottom of her heart.
She glanced at Ye Fei and Ye Ling and suddenly became worried: "If this is the case, do we have to leave the inn?"
"What if someone from the City Lord's Mansion comes to the inn to arrest someone..."
Ye Qingyun also agreed with Lin Xue'e this time: "Leave, leave now."
"Now that things have come to this, there is no need for us to worry about whether we will be exposed or cause unrest."
"The people in the City Lord's Mansion and Moon City are busy with their own affairs right now, and they won't chase us because of our departure."
Lin Xue'e sighed: "It's just a pity for the children in Yuecheng."
Although she sympathized with the children in Yuecheng and didn't want them to go for the sacrifice, Lin Xue'e did not ask Ye Fei to save them.
Although she is a little emotional, she is rational.
Compared to those children in Yuecheng, she naturally didn't want Ye Fei and Ye Ling to take any risk.
Several people just looked at Ye Fei, waiting for her opinion.
Ye Fei has his own plans.
She said calmly, "Now the sky is full of blood. If we leave Moon City and go to other places, who can guarantee that other places won't hold such sacrifices?"
"And we don't know what uncontrollable situations may arise on the way out."
"We are not from Yuecheng, and we don't have Yuecheng household registration."
"People from the City Lord's Mansion may not necessarily come to the inn to arrest people."
"Relatively speaking, we are relatively safe in Moon City."
When Ye Fei said this, Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e knew that she had no intention of leaving.
The couple frowned immediately.
Before they could speak, Ye Fei immediately added: "Don't worry, I have the ability to protect the safety of our family."
"I will not risk the safety of my family."
"Believe me!"
Since Ye Fei said so, Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e of course chose to believe her.
After all, Ye Fei has never let them down.
at the same time.
After the guards at the City Lord's Mansion announced the order, Ye Fei vaguely heard the discussions of some people from the inn and nearby Yuecheng.
And without exception, these voices are people who are willing to offer their children for sacrifice.
"Are all the people in Moon City crazy?"
Ye Fei couldn't help but murmur.
