Chapter 276: Choosing Children as Sacrifices
Ling Yun asked blankly: "Is it not possible?"
Su Nuan's mouth twitched, "Of course not, this is... a burial item, something for the dead."
Ling Yun shook his head. "Although it's a burial item, how can the dead use it? It was new when it was put into the tomb, and no one has used it before."
Su Nuan's face was full of confusion. Using burial objects as betrothal gifts was a unique practice. She really didn't know what to say.
Ling Yun suddenly looked at Qin Xuan, "Do you dislike these burial objects as betrothal gifts?"
Qin Xuan, whose eyes were red and whose teeth were nearly broken, was startled. She thought Ling Yun wanted to propose to her again, so she shook her head and said, "I don't mind."
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan and said, "Look, she is also a woman, and she said she doesn't mind."
Su Nuan held her forehead and asked, "Ling Yun, are you stupid?"
The space spirit was speechless for a long time before saying, "Oh my God, his emotional intelligence is so low, it's shockingly low."
Su Nuan knew what emotional intelligence was, and she agreed, "That's right, I don't know what to say."
Ling Yun didn't realize his thinking was wrong, and continued, "Actually, these can definitely be called antiques. You see, many people use valuable antiques as betrothal gifts. Aren't those also from tombs? Maybe they're not even as clean as mine."
Su Nuan: “…” What he said made a lot of sense and could not be refuted.
Forget it, he's not proposing to me anyway, so let him do whatever he wants.
Thinking of this, she nodded reluctantly, "Well, you're right."
Seeing that Su Nuan agreed with him, Ling Yun said happily, "These are all for you."
Su Nuan thought he wanted her to keep it and take it out later when he needed it.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep it."
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, then thought to himself with ecstasy, "If Su Nuan accepts it, does that mean she agrees to marry me in the future?"
"After all, I said these are betrothal gifts. She should understand what I am thinking."
Su Nuan glared at Ling Yun, who continued to smile foolishly. She pointed at Qin Xuan, who couldn't get up, and said, "Get her out!"
Ling Yun nodded immediately and shouted at Qin Xuan, "My sister-in-law told you to get out, so get out now."
Qin Xuan didn't know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly stood up and roared, "Ling Yun, she hurt me with a dagger, and you kicked me. I will make sure you die a miserable death."
Ling Yun narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?"
Qin Xuan was frightened by the murderous aura emanating from Ling Yun, "You...I..."
Ling Yun sneered: "Others are afraid of your Qin family, but I am not. I have nothing to do with you. I won this competition fair and square. No matter how much you follow me, I will not give up my position to you."
After a pause, he sneered, "I forgot, your Qin family has spent a lot of money to support you. Now you are penniless and powerless. I'm afraid you will be scolded if you go back."
"But what does this have to do with me? Did I let your family spend the money? Did you give me the power? Neither, so why don't you get out?"
Su Nuan pursed her lips, trying so hard to hold back her laughter that she hurt herself. "Ling Yun, who has low emotional intelligence, I just love it when you say these words."
The Space Spirit said, "Ling Yun is a man with no brains and very low emotional intelligence, so don't try to beat around the bush with him in the future. He might never understand what you want until he dies."
Su Nuan agreed and said, "That's right. I will be straightforward with him from now on. If I like him, I like him. If I don't like him, I don't like him. I can't play tricks like you have to guess what I want. The result is likely that he will be stupid and I will be mad to death."
The space spirit laughed unceremoniously: "Hahaha..."
Laughter is contagious, and Su Nuan couldn't help it, "Hahaha..."
Seeing Su Nuan smiling so happily and looking at her with eyes full of doting, Ling Yun felt his heart soar.
Qin Xuan was so angry that she vomited blood. She glared at the two of them angrily and turned away.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Let's look at something else."
Now she is in a good mood and refreshed.
Ling Yun obediently helped Su Nuan open the lids of each box and told her what was inside.
"This is from the coffin. It looks like a wishful thinking. I hope my sister-in-law will be happy in the future."
Su Nuan nodded and asked, "I did scratch her, don't you think I was wrong?"
Ling Yun frowned and said, "Sister-in-law scratched her, so she must have done something bad. I believe sister-in-law would not hurt anyone for no reason."
Su Nuan felt warm in her heart. This guy was not completely hopeless. This trust made her very happy.
However, Ling Yun continued, "Sister-in-law is actually very lazy and will definitely not take the initiative to find fault, so if sister-in-law hurts someone, then the other person is at fault first."
The happiness in Su Nuan's heart suddenly became strange. She felt neither up nor down. It was hard to explain, and there was also a little bit of... frustration.
The space spirit burst out laughing. "Hahaha... Look how well he knows you. You really are lazy, the kind that doesn't even bother to find fault."
Su Nuan forced a smile, "Well, you're right, I didn't take the initiative to provoke her."
"She hit me first, and I raised my hand to block it, but the dagger cut her."
Su Nuan felt it necessary to explain. After all, Ling Yun was a member of the Ling family, and she didn't want the Ling family to think that she was arrogant and unreasonable.
Ling Yun's expression changed when he heard this. "What?"
Su Nuan's heart skipped a beat. What happened? Did he think she was too careless?
Ling Yun continued, "She actually hit you, and I only kicked her once, so she got away with it."
Su Nuan, "..." Well, she really couldn't understand Ling Yun's train of thought.
However, it can be seen that Ling Yun is decisive in other matters, but is just a little slow in emotions.
It’s not a big deal. Lingyun is still young. He will understand it when he grows older.
The two continued to look at these burial objects. When they reached the last car, Su Nuan discovered something strange.
"What's this?"
Ling Yun replied: "This is a tripod. The one with the lid should be a kitchen utensil."
Su Nuan nodded. It was a bronze tripod, covered with green rust on the outside.
She reached out, grabbed the handle and opened the lid, and there was something inside.
Ling Yun said: "I didn't look inside at the time. It might be used for sacrifice and cooking."
Su Nuan squinted her eyes to look at the thing inside the cauldron. It was a skull. Judging from the size, it was not that of an adult, but the head of a five or six-year-old child.
Ling Yun exclaimed, "Ouch...why is it a human?"
In fact, people have been used as sacrificial offerings many times since ancient times. Su Nuan has never seen it with her own eyes, but she has read about it in books.
She slammed the lid shut, looking a little unhappy.
"Do you think using humans as sacrifices will happen in our country?"
Ling Yun replied calmly: "Isn't this normal?"
"When I left the Northern Snow Country, the border towns were selecting children as sacrifices. Every year before farming, they would offer sacrifices to the heavens, praying for good weather and good harvests!"
Su Nuan quickly asked, "Is this how the animals are cooked?"
If this is the case, the mayor of the border town of Beixue Country should be replaced!
