Chapter 3 I have a bold idea
"Master, our Xujia Village has always kept its own order and paid taxes according to the law, but there is no such thing as collecting children as sacrifices in Daqing Country's laws!" Know some legal common sense.

The chief steward of the Duke's Mansion was the first to scold upon hearing this: "Humph! It is an honor for you that the children in your village have been chosen as sacrifices for the Lord! The priest opened the altar to pray for rain, but you dare to obstruct it, and delay the secret of heaven, can you take care of it?"

He almost felt that his majesty was being challenged, and he was afraid of losing face in front of the people in the Duke's Mansion, so he was suddenly furious, and decided to take away Luyue today, and to show some color to these unruly people.

"We don't obstruct the priests of the Yu Kingdom to pray for rain. The Duke of Yu is concerned about the disaster. We are grateful, but the children of this sacrifice cannot be from our Xujia Village anyway!" The old village chief said loudly.

The Zhuangzi in the north of Yucheng almost all have the same surname, and the people in the village also have some relatives and stories, so they pay great attention to blood relationship and family concept. Under the education of the old village head, Xujia Village has simple folk customs, and the villagers help each other. For example, if a family touches the children now, it touches their bottom line.

Seeing the tense situation on the field, Ozuki thought, this is really going to be a fight, facing the cold blade, the villagers may not be able to get any cheap.

"Old village head, uncles and uncles, Yue'er is willing to go to sacrifice. Last night, the grandmother of the land entrusted Yue'er with a dream, asking Yue'er to go to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven and earth. She said that there will be magical manifestations in the Temple of Heaven, so don't worry, Yue'er It will be fine." Obscure Moon smiled at the villagers.

This is of course a lie to the villagers. The villagers are willing to face the guard's blade for her, and will not hesitate to be treated as a mob. Of course, Obscure Moon doesn't want to see these simple villagers bleed to death.Ozuki thought, it's better to stabilize the situation first, and then take the opportunity to run out when the time comes.

Obscure Moon dictated the story of the dream, which made the superstitious villagers look at each other. They couldn't believe it, but they were afraid of offending the gods. Thinking that Ozuki was only six years old, it was impossible for a child to tell such a lie.

"I voluntarily go with you, but my brother also wants to go with me, and you still need to find a doctor to heal his wounds." Ozuki pointed to the injured brother and said to the big housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion.

The chief steward of the Duke's Mansion was also amazed at the fairy entrusting a dream. Since the girl voluntarily went to sacrifice, there was no need to start a conflict. After thinking for a while, she agreed to Ozuki's request.

At the end of the day, he gave the rebels with farm tools a hard look, meaning to let you off this time, and don't fall into my hands in the future.

So, under the worried eyes of her parents and villagers, Ozuki obediently followed the guards out of the village.

The old village chief looked at the backs of the Yunyue brothers and sisters going away, and turned his head to call the two villagers to hurry up the mountain to find the parents of the Luyue.

Obscure Moon was hugged by her brother, followed the guards and walked in the middle of the team, she stretched out her little hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of her brother's mouth, thinking in her heart how she would take revenge on these gangsters when A Niang came.

But the young man who was beaten to the point of bleeding, still looked at the little sister with a smile, as if he didn't feel any pain.

Xujia Village is a bit far from Yucheng, and it would take about a day's journey to ride a horse. The group of people hurried on the horse and drove for a day, and finally arrived at Yubei City in the evening.

When Hazy Moon entered the city, I thought the city would be more prosperous than the village, but I didn't expect that the city was also dilapidated and desolate. Skinny hungry people were lying in the streets and alleys. Many children's heads were swollen, but their limbs were abnormally slender. Wild vegetables cause.

Most of the shops on the street are closed, and the famished hungry people can do anything, and looting incidents occur on the street from time to time.

A mad woman with empty eyes wandered the desolate streets with her cold baby's body in her arms, and was finally pulled into an alley without a trace.

Obscure Moon looked up at the khaki sky. According to basic geographical knowledge, locusts were flooded first, then droughts, and the plague was rampant. The famine here will only become more and more serious.
When the time comes, there will be riots among refugees, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and this hinterland of the Central Plains will be even more turbulent. It is better to escape here as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the Duke's mansion, Ozuki's elder brother was taken to be treated by the doctor, and Ozuki and other children were taken down by the maids to bathe and burn incense. At night, they had to pray for the sacrificial ceremony in the tribute hall of the mansion.

During these two days in the Duke's mansion, Obscure Moon really saw what it means to be rich in wine and meat, with frozen bones on the road.

The hungry victims outside can only tighten their stomachs with their trouser belts, swallow rice bran and wild vegetables, gnaw bark and grass roots, and in areas where the disaster is more serious, they even eat seeds.

However, the banquet held by the Duke and the priest is extravagant. Dozens of fish are needed to make a dish of braised fish. For the whole fish, only the lip and gill meat of the fish are taken, and then the whole fish body is directly thrown into the swill bucket.A Buddha jumping over the wall needs to use more than a dozen fresh chickens, ducks, geese and various seafood to stew the base soup. After the stew, take out the meat and feed it to the dog.

There are also vats of fresh apples placed in the room, which are not for eating, but for the wives and ladies to make incense. After staying in the room where the fruit vats are placed for a long time, there will be refreshing stains on the dresses. Fruity.Every day in the Duke's Mansion, servants replace the fruits in the jars to ensure that they will not rot and stink.

The extravagance and waste of food in the Duke's mansion has already opened Ozuki's eyes. Thinking about drinking rice bran that pricked his throat in a broken thatched hut, these dignitaries actually eat half and throw away half, and even use fruit to eat it. Incense?Ozuki had to lament the unevenness of this world again.

At night, the well-dressed Ozuki knelt in the tribute hall of the mansion, burning incense and praying, surrounded by smoke, just like the little fairy boy in the painting. Elder Ozuki tilted his head to the side, staring at her intently.

The priest, who was supposed to burn incense and pray together, was slacking off drinking at the moment, and soon fell asleep in front of the tribute table, and the other young children also fell asleep in a daze.

Obscure Moon thought, this priest seems to be a charlatan, he is so concerned about the disaster victims praying for rain, it feels like a guise created by the Duke for the sake of his reputation, this extremely extravagant Duke doesn’t care Like a child who loves the people like a child.

In the middle of the night, Ozuki saw that there was no one guarding her, so she wanted to stand up and move around, but after kneeling for a long time, she suddenly stood up and walked around, and her eyes suddenly became dizzy.

Amid the dizziness, a voice came out of Ozuyue's mind: "Ding, the number of walking steps reached [-] steps, congratulations to the host for awakening the space system!"

Obscure Moon heard this voice, and her first reaction was: "Fuck, as a time traveler, the Goldfinger will arrive late, but God still loves me, and the Goldfinger given to me is the kind that can be upgraded by walking. !"

Overjoyed, Ozuki quickly glanced at the system space with her spiritual sense, and she found that her space layout was a bit like a large fresh food supermarket, with rice warehouses, fish ponds, freezers, warehouses, and various shelves and counters inside. Unfortunately, the supermarket was empty.

Good guy, Ozuki understands, it turns out that the goods still have to be stockpiled by herself.

With a thought, Ozuki put all the melon and fruit snacks on the tribute table into the space with a wave of her little hand. The elder brother next to him thought that Ozuki was doing tricks, so he laughed heartily.

"Hush!" Obscure Moon hastily put a finger on her mouth, telling her brother to keep her voice down, and then she had a bold idea.
