I swallowed and killed gods in a strange world

Chapter 105 Li Henshui, are you really going to participate in the sacrifice?
"Ancient?" The girl frowned and repeated.

She watched the young man named Gu eating her dry biscuits with relish, and her stomach couldn't help but feel bulging.

Squeezing her shriveled stomach, the girl retrieved her small broken package and took out a bamboo cup and a small black leather bag stuffed in the cup.

"Do you want some salt?" The girl curled up under the tree trunk on the other side of the young man and handed out the small black leather bag in her hand.

"Salt?" After eating the last piece of dry biscuit, the young man turned his head to look at the girl sitting far away from him and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

He didn't look at the black leather bag in the girl's hand, and a wooden barrel as tall as a person appeared under the tree while waving his hand.

The young girl was taken aback by the young man's strange tricks, she stood up timidly and looked at the wooden barrel that was only a head shorter than herself.

The snow-white and crystal-clear fine grains filled the entire wooden barrel to the brim. She swallowed and looked down at the dark red coarse salt mixed with fine gravels in her leather bag.

"It's all salt?"

"This is your reward." The young man stood up and approached the girl.

As he moved, the huge wooden barrel also moved in front of the girl.

The girl looked at the young man and then at the fine white salt in the barrel. She pursed her lips and slowly poured the coarse salt from the small leather pouch in her hand into the bamboo cup, then approached the barrel carefully and reached out to grab some salt. Put the snow-white fine salt into the small leather bag.

"That's enough." The girl lowered her head, looking at the grains of salt on her hands, and forcibly stopped the thought of licking her hands.

The young man looked at the girl in distress.He smiled and said, "This is all yours."

"Too much." The girl shook her head stubbornly: "Half a cake is not worth that much salt."

The young man was stunned, and he looked down at the small leather bag tightly clutched in the girl's hand.

The girl only grabbed a handful, and didn't even fill a third of the leather bag.

He didn't argue with the girl, he put away the barrel and sat back under the tree.

The girl on the side watched the young man turn back and sit under the tree, and when he was not paying attention, he quickly licked his little hands that were stained with salt grains.

The reddish-orange light brought by the setting sun shone on the girl's slightly tired cheeks, and the young man glanced at the girl standing under the setting sun, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, sitting silently under the tree.

After licking the salt grains, the girl stood hesitantly, as if mustering up her courage, she sat down under the tree, getting closer to the young man than before.

She was very curious about this young girl who suddenly appeared and broke into her secret garden, but she looked at the young man as if he was resting, so she was too embarrassed to ask.

Just waiting like this, until the cold moon climbed to the sky, the girl leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep.

The next morning, the girl woke up early.

Unlike the past when sleeping in the wild, she slept extremely peacefully last night. There was no icy wind, no damp dew, and only the warmth that spread all over her body.

She looked at the young man beside her with sleepy eyes, and she woke up suddenly for a moment.

No wonder she felt warm when she slept last night. It turned out that she slept in the young man's arms last night!

The girl's heart trembled, and she quickly withdrew her body and said tremblingly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Thank you, it was very warm last night." The young man slowly turned his head to look at the girl, his voice trembling and undeniably serious.

The girl lying on the ground seemed to have heard something unbelievable. She raised her face in astonishment, and the tears in her eyes seemed to burst at any moment.

The moment she looked up, she saw the young man's face for the first time. On this unpretentious face, she saw the care that she had never had before, and felt the warmth that she had never had before.

The lonely soul seems to have the meaning of her existence at this moment.

The girl also found the meaning of life at this time.

In the days that followed, the girl went up the mountain to collect firewood in exchange for food as usual, the difference was that there was one more resident in her secret garden.

The young man under the tree is like a stone statue, no matter winter, summer, spring or autumn, he always maintains a posture and sits under the tree.

"Agu, today I exchanged your salt with the village chief for some jerky, so hurry up and taste it."

"Ah."

"Agu, I saw a big wild boar in the mountains today, several times bigger than the white pig in the village, and I was almost chased by it."

"This one?"

"Wow! It turns out that Agu has been silently protecting me behind my back."

"Agu, I'm not feeling well today, can I take a day off?"

"Ah."

"Agu, I touched a fish in the river, we can eat meat tonight!"

"Ah."

"Agu, I don't know why, I'm bleeding from below and I can't stop it."

"Huh?" The young man froze for a moment, then looked at the girl who was wearing animal skin and whose figure was gradually growing.

He frowned and whispered something next to the girl's ear, then took out some white cotton balls and handed them to the girl.

"Hmm." The girl said in a low voice with a blushing face after hearing the young man's words.

She looked at the young man resting with his eyes closed, and said in a disappointed voice, "It's been eight years, Agu, you don't seem to have changed much."

"Ah."

"Agu, I secretly went to see the sacrifices in the village today."

"Ah."

"I secretly learned a dance, do you want to watch it?"

"Ah."

The young man's answer fell, and the girl danced stiffly with joy, imitating the dance she saw at the sacrifice.

The melodious sound of the flute also began to sound along with the girl's gradually proficient dancing posture.

The sound of the flute is sad, as if a sense of desolation and loneliness from ancient times enveloped the entire hill.

The girl stopped her movements when she heard the sound, and looked at the young man sitting under the tree with a recorder in his mouth with tears in his eyes.

"Agu, I'm going to participate in the sacrifice in the village."

"Huh, huh?" The young man's answer suddenly increased in tone, and there was a hint of strong doubt in his voice.

"I'm going to participate in the sacrifice instead of the village chief's daughter." The girl knelt down in front of the young man, and her slim figure had already grown.

This is the No. 12 year when she met the youth. Looking at the youth who has not changed a bit in the past ten years, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

"Do you know the fate of participating in the sacrifice?"

"I know."

"why?"

"Because people in the village need me." The girl's words were sincere.

"En." The young man didn't argue, as if he approved of the girl's idea.

"Agu, are you the god that people in the village often talk about?" The girl softly asked the question she hadn't asked that night when they first met more than ten years ago.

Hearing this, the young man looked at the girl who was staring at him with burning eyes, and he shook his head silently: "I am a human being just like you."

The girl smiled, unable to see what she was thinking.

"Agu, you don't seem to have called my name before, can you call my name once on this last night?"

"Li Henshui, are you really going to participate in the sacrifice?"

"Ok?"
