Konoha's Inheritance Master

Chapter 428 Sacrificial Preparations to Seek God at Night
At this time, Xiaojiao absent-mindedly returned to the room in the center of the village.

There are no lighting facilities such as oil lamps in the room, only a simple wooden table, four wooden stools and a bed covered with hay.

In the dark, Xiao Jiao used his memory to touch the bed, and sat curled up on the bed with his legs hugged, quietly looking at the sky outside the window in a daze.

What I experienced today was a bit too nerve-wracking, and Xiaojiao couldn't tell whether he was angry or scared in his heart.

The rooms in the village are all close to each other, and there should be strange groans everywhere at this time of weekdays.

But today the village is surprisingly quiet.

As time passed bit by bit, the chaotic thoughts in Xiaojiao's mind gradually smoothed out, and a ray of doubt came to my heart.

Father and the others discussed the matter, why should the little fish be left behind.

Is it to treat the little fish?

They won't do anything to the little fish.

Reminiscent of the virtues of the men in the village, Xiao Jiao thought of this inexplicably.

No, with my father around, he would not allow others to do such a thing.

Out of trust in his father, Xiao Jiao shook his head violently, trying to get the thought out of his mind.

But for some reason, this thought was like a thorn deeply pierced in my heart.

In the dimly lit room, Xiao Jiao couldn't stop thinking wildly.

What if.

After all, with Xiaoyu's current situation, he probably won't have the ability to work in the future, so he won't be able to help him in life.

Father might not let Xiaoyu marry him.

The only value of a small fish may be to give birth.

To Xiaojiao, Xiaoyu is his childhood sweetheart's first love, and no one can bear this kind of thing.

Xiao Jiao, who was sitting on the bed, got up in a strange way, left carefully, and walked outside.

Xiaojiao insisted on walking for more than ten minutes for the usual 3-[-] minute journey.

When he was about to approach the open space on the edge of the village, he finally heard a sound in his ears.

But no one spoke.

Didn't you say you want to discuss it?
The doubt in Xiaojiao's heart was even worse, and he came to the corner and slowly poked his head out.

Suddenly, Xiaojiao's pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw more than a dozen torches standing in the open space, and I don't know when they were put on wooden stakes.

At this time, the little fish was even tied to a wooden stake, with animal fur stuffed in its mouth.

As for the people in Dajiao by the river, they all looked indifferent, carrying firewood back and forth and placing it under the stake in silence.

This is not the first time Xiaojiao has seen this kind of scene.

In the past, after large wild animals were caught in the village, the wild animals were often inserted on wooden stakes for barbecue.

But now the scene reappears, but it is his beloved woman tied to a stake.

why?
In front of the stake, Dajiao by the river watched the little fish calmly, without any pity in his eyes.

At this moment, Dajiao by the river noticed a villager who was making firewood on the other side winking at him.

Immediately look back.

I saw a thin figure standing there quietly in the darkness.

But the extremely familiar silhouette made Dajiao by the river recognize who it was at a glance, and immediately strode up to meet him, saying in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

Xiaojiao stared straight at the little fish who was tied to the stake and kept struggling and writhing, opened his mouth, then raised his head stiffly to look at his gloomy father, and said hoarsely:
"What. What are you doing?"

Dajiao by the river looked at his son's appearance, his heart softened, he took a deep breath, and said softly:

"We need to sacrifice her to the mountain god, and let the mountain god protect us so that we can survive here safely."

sacrifice?

Xiaojiao heard this word for the first time, but combined with Xiaoyu's situation, he instantly understood the meaning of sacrifice.

As for the mountain god in my father's mouth, it can only be the owner of the stone hand I saw tonight, and that should be the mountain god's hand.

Seeing that Xiaojiao's face turned pale, he stared at Dajiao by the river in disbelief, and said hoarsely:

"Why her? Didn't you promise me?"

The big horn by the river avoids the gaze of the little horn, and looks at the twisting little fishway tied to the wooden stake:

"She is the only one who has seen Lord Mountain God.

And it seems that Lord Shanshen should be very satisfied with her. "

Hearing this, Xiao Jiao turned his head with difficulty, and also looked at Xiao Yu.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Maybe Xiaoyu still remembers Xiaojiao subconsciously.

Xiaojiao's eyes became red, he lowered his head slowly, knelt on the ground with a plop, gritted his teeth and said:
"Father, please don't dedicate the little fish to the mountain god.

I will work hard, and when I become a great warrior, I can protect everyone. "

Unexpectedly, Dajiao by the river shook his head firmly and said:
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter, the Lord Mountain God can easily kill the existence of Shi Sangyan.

Even a samurai cannot easily do this.

That's a god. "

"How can we keep her?" Xiao Jiao asked unwillingly.

However, Dajiao by the river no longer has the patience to continue persuading his lost son in this situation. After all, the surrounding villagers are secretly paying attention to this side.

But seeing Dajiao by the river's face turned cold, he scolded: "Go back."

Xiao Jiao still knelt on the spot, unmoved.

Just as Dajiao by the river was about to ask someone to carry Xiaojiao back, Xiaojiao seemed to have a sudden idea, got up silently, turned around and walked towards the village.

Seeing Xiaojiao's lonely back gradually disappearing into the darkness, Dajiao by the river couldn't help but sighed deeply, and then continued to direct the villagers to prepare for the sacrifice.

Dajiao by the river is also the first so-called sacrificial offering.

I don't know if the mountain god in my heart will be satisfied with this sacrificial offering of Xiaoyu.

But apart from Xiaoyu, there seems to be no better alternative.

For this small village, men are an indispensable resource.

Adult women basically have extraordinary relationships with men in the village.

Once you choose them, it will more or less cause some people's dissatisfaction.

I will get old, and every hunt has the risk of disability and death.

If something happens to him in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that those who have resentment will not make trouble.

There are no laws and regulations to bind people here. Whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak.

And those underage women also have the value of childbearing and simple labor.

On the contrary, Xiaoyu, going crazy will only waste the food in the village, and she needs to be taken care of by people, which is completely cumbersome.

What's more, analyzing the situation when Xiaoyu came back, it is very likely that Xiaoyu has already got the favor of the mountain god.

On the whole, choosing the already small fish as a sacrificial offering is the best choice.

As for the child Xiaojiao.
Arrange a woman for him after a while, and he will forget about it in a short time.

However, what Dajiao by the river did not expect was that Xiaojiao who entered the village did not go back to his room, but went straight through the village.

Before the dark and deep forest.

Xiaojiao turned his head and looked in the direction where Xiaoyu was.

Even if the buildings of the village blocked his view, he still seemed to be able to see the little fish covering his face in fear at the moment.

After a short glance, Xiaojiao turned his head, his gaze was firmer than ever before.

"I will definitely save you."

After finishing speaking, Xiaojiao plunged into the forest and detoured to the mountain along the route in memory.

The reason why Xiaojiao didn't continue to beg his father just now.

It is because he knows that he is not enough to make his father change his mind.

The only one who can save the little fish.

There is only the object of worship in the village, the mountain god that only Xiaoyu has ever seen.
