Chapter 480: Backhand?
Hearing the movement behind her, the woman said without turning her head, "You're here!"
Meng Chong, who had just climbed through the window and entered the room, was stunned for a moment. He then walked forward and sat in front of her. "How did you know it was me?"
Xiaotu raised his head from the big bowl and mumbled while chewing, "I guessed it!"
Seeing her like this, Meng Chong felt helpless, "Okay, just guess. I came here this time because I knew you were so confident in going with them, so you must have some backup plan. I wanted to come and see if there was anything I could do to help.
Xiao Tu blinked when he heard that, "Backhand?"
Meng Chong moved closer to her and said solemnly, "Yes, you can tell me. I can help you. Whether it's passing on a message or finding someone to rescue you quickly, I can do it for you."
After saying that, he looked at her with eyes full of expectation.
Xiao Tu looked at his face and blinked twice, "No~"
Meng Chong's face was solemn and stiff. After a while, he twitched his lips and said, "No, no?"
Xiao Tu shrugged, "Yeah~, there's no backup, no one, just me!"
If Meng Chong hadn't been afraid of being discovered by the people watching outside, he would have jumped up in anger. He stared at his already wide eyes and said in a low voice, "You're so calm without me. You, you're still eating here?"
Xiao Tu replied logically, "I've been hungry for several days and have no strength at all. How can I not eat?"
Meng Chong was almost anxious to death, "You, you really are..." He rubbed his head vigorously a few times, "Forget it, have you eaten? If you're done, come with me. I'll take you away from here. After you get out, go as far as you can and don't come back."
Xiao Rabbit Man sat still and said calmly, "Why should I leave? There's food and drink here, how nice~"
Meng Chong wanted to rub his head again. He took a breath and said seriously again, "Girl, I know you are very smart and you should be able to see your situation, but I am afraid you don't understand the seriousness of this matter."
Xiao Tu raised her chin towards him and said, "Tell me!"
Meng Chong had no choice but to explain, "This is a long story. In recent years, Huangtu County has had heavy rains year after year, and the riverbeds have been flooded. Several times, the water has broken through the embankments and submerged many villages. Since the fifth year, the county has started holding dragon god sacrifices. However, unlike ordinary sacrifices, the sacrifices are not animals, but living people!"
Speaking of this, Meng Chong's eyes were cold.
Xiao Tu also stopped eating.
Seeing her reaction, Meng Chong continued in a cold voice, "These people select young girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty from each village in the county every year. During the Dragon God Festival, they tie these girls onto rafts and send them into the river as a sacrifice to the Dragon King."
At this point, his voice was cold and full of sarcasm. "They all said that these girls were to be given to the Dragon King as his wives, so each one had to be the most beautiful in the village. They also said that these girls were to enjoy a good life with the Dragon King. If any family dared to make trouble, it would be disrespectful to the Dragon King, and the whole family would be arrested and beheaded."
He laughed out loud as he spoke, hatred seeping into his bones with every word. "What a blessing! Such a great blessing, why don't these people enjoy it? Instead, they let us, the lowly and filthy pariahs in their eyes, get the benefit."
Xiao Tu put down her bowl and chopsticks and slowly wiped her red lips with a handkerchief. "Do you know who is involved in this matter?"
