Tomorrow Night Town Sacrifice 2
Chu Li didn't react at all.
She fell backwards by inertia, and suddenly closed her eyes, ready to face the earth, when she suddenly fell into a soft and furry bed.
She looked back and saw the brown bear opening its arms and hugging her tightly.
When the little brown bear saw that he was fine, he withdrew his gaze and roared at Juanwa.
In the dull and dry environment, its voice is unusually hoarse.
Juanwa has lived in Mingye Town since he was a child and has never experienced such a thing. He was frightened by the sound and trembled, and his arrogance just now also disappeared.
He stomped his feet hard and ran into the town without looking back.
He ran inside and locked the door at the entrance.
Chu Li felt helpless when she saw this scene. She came out of the brown bear's arms, adjusted herself for a while, and then looked at You Chengze.
The man's lips were pale and chapped due to the dry weather.
Chu Li shook the kettle, it was empty, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
She wiped the thin sweat from her forehead and asked, "We're not familiar with the terrain. It's getting dark now, and it's inconvenient to bring our pets with us. How about we go see if there's any small trail nearby that we can sneak in?"
You Chengze raised his eyes to look at her, and they stared at each other for a long time before he responded softly to show his approval.
Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief after receiving his response.
Before she asked the question, she was particularly worried that You Chengze would not agree. Fortunately, men are the kind of people who appear cold on the outside but are warm on the inside.
As he was thinking, Chu Li had already led the brown bear and the alpaca towards the town wall.
Mingye Town's architecture is retro, its red bricks striking in the lingering light. Compared to Lobi Town, the economic climate here is much more advanced, though the lack of greenery and trees, leaving the bare ground, is particularly eerie.
Chu Li walked along the path for about ten minutes, and finally saw a thick, dead vine on the wall.
She was delighted and pulled hard with both hands. Feeling the strength of the vine, Chu Li saw hope in an instant.
She happily waved her hand towards You Chengze who was walking slowly behind her, "You Chengze, come here quickly! We can climb up here!"
There was an uncontrollable joy in the low voice.
The man's expression remained indifferent.
Chu Li didn't mind at all. At this moment, her mind was completely occupied by the hard-earned joy.
She lowered her head and petted the two furry creatures. After confirming that You Chengze had approached, she said, "You take care of these two furry kids. I'll climb up and explore the way first!"
Chu Li said this, not caring about You Chengze's reaction, and directly stuffed the two fur balls next to him.
Then she turned around and pulled the dead vine.
She tried her best, but found that she had no strength in her hands and feet.
Chu Li sighed softly. He was in a state of confusion, unable to advance or retreat, which gave him even more headaches.
How could she have just said such a volunteering speech, she had forgotten that her limbs were not coordinated at all.
She didn't want to embarrass herself, so she took a deep breath, pretended to roll up her sleeves, and prepared to try again.
Just as she was about to pull the vine, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.
The sky and the earth tilted slightly in an instant, and she felt her feet hanging in the air, and the target point above the wall was much closer.
Chu Li frowned, and there was a dull look in his pupils.
The next moment, she reacted and looked at the person who held her.
!!
It turned out to be the big ice cube You Chengze!
Through his clothes, the man's arms were strong and powerful, which were completely different from his sickly face and frail back.
That handsome and charming face remained calm, but there was a slight wrinkle between his brows.
When you get closer, you can seem to hear You Chengze's strong heartbeat.
"Have you seen enough?"
Suddenly, You Chengze's sudden voice was like a bucket of cold water pouring down.
Chu Li came to her senses and instantly realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly turned her head and reached out to grab the vines above her.
The next moment, she felt the person under her exert force on his arms again, and her whole body began to float.
At this moment, she was worried that You Chengze could not bear it. Chu Li did not get distracted and borrowed You Chengze's arm strength and finally climbed up the wall.
She wanted to take a breath on the wall, but suddenly she heard bursts of dull singing.
In order not to expose her tracks, she quickly squatted down and used a dead tree beside her to cover her body.
Then, she looked at You Chengze at the foot of the wall and said in a low voice, "I'm scared to death. They're singing and their attention isn't here. Now, lead Maorong along the vines and I'll pull you up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Li began to prepare to recruit people.
The furry kittens were very well-behaved and stayed quietly in You Chengze and her arms the whole time while being passed around.
The same was true for You Chengze under the wall. He did not mention Chu Li's distraction just now, nor did he comment much on her actions. He just followed Chu Li's orders.
After about ten minutes, the two of them and many furry animals climbed over the red wall.
Chu Li brushed off the dust on his body and combed the hair of a few furry animals.
Then he slowly moved forward following the singing.
The environment inside Mingye Town was extremely poor. Dead trees stood in the air like shriveled corpses, and dry weeds looked even more desolate in the dim light.
Everywhere he went was desolate.
There was not much shelter around, so Chu Li could only separate from You Chengze with two large furry animals.
She walked slowly forward until the singing that lingered throughout the town grew louder, then she stopped and looked forward.
A bald master in a yellow cassock led several young monks around a wooden platform. They closed their eyes, folded their hands and chanted Buddha statues.
The monks walked around for who knows how many times, and then they saw the leading monk bow slightly towards the stage, and then just raised his hand.
The next moment, the residents behind him knelt down instantly.
The situation was so intense that Chu Li, who had been watching, couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Before I could express any emotion, I saw a few people hurriedly coming behind the residents.
Chu Li looked closely and found that it was Chen Zemin who had driven them away not long ago.
Behind Chen Zemin were several elderly people, and among them was a little girl.
The little girl was tied up all over and had a cloth stuffed in her mouth. She seemed to know what these people were going to do. She struggled hard, her eyes wide open and tears streaming down her face.
However, the group of people completely ignored the girl's struggle.
Chen Zemin bowed to the leading monk, and then he heard him say, "Master, this extremely Yin blood is ready. I pray that you can cast a spell immediately to bring rain to relieve the town's drought!"
"Don't worry, Mayor. Take the child up first, tie him up, and then set him on fire to bring about heavy rain." The master said leisurely.
Chu Li's heart sank when he heard this, and he instantly understood what this group of people wanted to do.
Feudal superstition!
He's already traveled into this imaginary continent, so why isn't this old custom discarded and is it still being promoted?!
Under the pretext of sacrificing one person to save the whole town, it is actually just some capital manipulation.
This group of old bald guys, monks and masters, I think they are just driven by a desire for revenge.
Chu Li was thinking indignantly, and the next second he saw the little girl being carried onto the stage.
The old men just now lit the torches in an instant and were about to light the firewood.
Chu Li was shocked and without thinking too much, he picked up the stone at his feet and threw it accurately at the head of the nearest old man.
After a moment, a sound of pain was heard, followed by the old man's cursing voice: "Who! Come out!"
Chu Li was furious. She didn't want a life to be taken away like this. She stood up, threw away the cover of the dead tree, walked into the sight of everyone, and said calmly, "I threw it away."
"Stranger! You are actually a stranger!"
As soon as the old man said this, everyone present stood up instantly.
"Why are you back again?" Chen Zemin recognized Chu Li and said in panic. Then he knelt on the ground tremblingly and said to the master: "Master Heyu, I really didn't let her in. This person... this person we don't know! Please... please hold the ceremony quickly, don't miss it! If we miss this time, the whole town can't wait!"
These words instantly made the usually good-tempered Chu Li furious. Without waiting for Master Heyu's reaction, she interrupted him, "Mayor, this sacrificial ritual is feudal superstition. How can you listen to an outsider? The person on this stage is a life, a living life!"
"Her blood can save this drought, her death is worthy!" a resident shouted.
Once someone starts something, millions of people will follow suit.
Noisy voices intertwined.
Chu Li choked and clenched his hands hanging by his sides tightly.
These people...are so ignorant and stupid.
"Throughout history, a life must be paid with a life. Do you really think there are no laws on Xumi Continent?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Chu Li stopped talking immediately when he was about to refute the resident.
She looked towards the source of the sound.
You Chengze still maintained his leisurely attitude. He gently stroked the ears of the lop-eared rabbit in his arms with his big hands. Although he seemed gentle, he could not resist the deterrent force that was coming from him.
"Huh? There are accomplices?!" someone exclaimed. "Master, hurry up and detain these people. We must not let them affect the sacrificial ceremony!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Heyu, who had remained silent, snorted coldly and was about to give orders to his fellow apprentice.
"Wait!" Chu Li interrupted him. She stepped forward, blocking You Chengze's way and threateningly saying, "This man can't save you. He will only bring the entire Mingye Town under legal punishment. But I can save you. I can restore the town to its former glory!"
As soon as Chu Li said this, everyone present burst into laughter.
Master Heyu was particularly contemptuous.
"At such a young age, uninitiated in the world, uncultivated, yet you've already learned to speak so arrogantly. You've interrupted such an important ceremony, and your family's etiquette is so corrupted, yet you still want to save the town? It's ridiculous!" Master Heyu sneered, then raised his hand coldly, "Xiangyu, Luoyu, arrest these two and take them to the detention room!"
