Traveling through another world as a sacrifice

Chapter 41: The Ritual of Adulthood
"Hurry up, hurry up, there will be no seats if you go later." Early in the morning, the road was crowded with people. Today is a very important day, so before dawn, many people of suitable age got up early, As long as one of the family has reached the age, the whole family will go to help out together.

Such a big commotion outside also woke up Wang Xiaoyu, he got up helplessly, looked at his wrist habitually, it was empty, and then remembered that the watch had been sold a few days ago.

Just about to turn over and continue, I suddenly remembered what I promised Allen last night, and I invited myself to some coming-of-age ceremony. Although I have trouble getting up, I will still do what I promised others.

"Natasha, Natasha!" Natasha, this was the name of the maid assigned to serve her, she called softly, and the other party soon appeared in sight, holding the hot water that had been prepared in her hand.

After washing up, the old man changed into white clothes yesterday and had been waiting for a long time. He asked the reason and said that it was Allen who told him to take him to the venue.

Along the way, Wang Xiaoyu and the other party chatted one after another, and when they arrived at the so-called meeting place, they probably understood what the coming-of-age ceremony meant.

This is different from the horrible coming-of-age ceremony in Africa. Here, all boys who have reached the age of 18 must participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. If they pass, they are considered a real adult. .

When asked how it was done, the other party said that it was perfunctory to say that you will know it when you read it. If that is the case, then she should take a look at what this so-called coming-of-age ceremony is.

As soon as he arrived at the venue, Wang Xiaoyu was immediately shocked by the huge crowd. He didn't expect that there were so many people who came to participate, and they were all boys over 18 years old. It was simply too seductive.

Her seat was arranged on a high platform with an excellent view. Judging from the clothes of those people, they should all be people of considerable status.The person sitting next to him was Alan's younger brother, who just cast a cold glance and turned his head away after he got on the high platform.

"Bah, what are you dragging?" Wang Xiaoyu also turned his head angrily. He didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to see him either. With the same face, why is there such a big difference in personality.

Below is a very spacious platform surrounded by stones. Many people are watching from the outside of the wall. Looking down from a height, you can have a panoramic view of everything. The overall feeling is a bit like a Roman bullring.

The method used by people in this era to measure time is to place a branch on the ground and infer it from the angle of the shadow cast by the sun. Although this method is simple, it is not very standard.

About 5 minutes later, the old man poured out a bunch of congratulatory speeches praising the gods. During this period, Wang Xiaoyu was drowsy. If it wasn't for a burst of thunderous applause that woke her up, she might have gone to see Duke Zhou up.

Rubbing his eyes, his gaze turned downwards. At some point, there was a man standing on the square with dazzling blond hair. On such a cold day, the man only wore a piece of animal skin around his waist, and Alan was waving to the surroundings. , like a star.

"What a flirt." Wang Xiaoyu muttered, and after she finished speaking, she felt that someone was looking at her, and when she turned her head, she met Ai Weier's eyes, and someone rolled her eyes and turned her head away.

In the square, Allen was searching among the crowd on the high platform. After seeing Wang Xiaoyu, he waved his arms and shouted, but the surrounding voices were too loud, and his voice was immediately covered.

"En? Could it be that you are calling me?" Seeing Alan waving in his direction, Wang Xiaoyu was taken aback for a while, then shook his right arm tentatively, and saw Alan jumping around happily on the spot, The other party was indeed calling himself.

"Om~" Suddenly, a heavy voice echoed in the entire sky, and the extremely noisy environment just now suddenly became quiet. This quality is much stronger than modern people, probably because of the hierarchy.

After the silence, the door at the corner of the wall opened, and a huge bull appeared in sight. A cow and a man, the combination of the two immediately reminded Wang Xiaoyu of a word, bullfighting!
Didn't it mean coming of age ceremony? How could there be a cow?What's going on in this situation?Just by looking at the ox's constant digging of its hooves, one can feel how ferocious its character is.

She opened her mouth to ask Aiweier, but held back her words. Maybe she was wrong, so she should observe again. The next scene made Wang Xiaoyu unable to deceive herself, because she saw the cow start to attack Allen. up.

"Be careful!" Although Alan escaped several times in a row, Wang Xiaoyu was terrified every time. If it was pushed on, she had no doubt that if it hit a human body, it would end in a gut-piercing end.Inadvertently peeking at Aiweier who was on the side, the other side looked indifferent, which made Wang Xiaoyu a little angry.

Allen is the other party's older brother, and now he looks indifferently at his brother's danger but remains indifferent. This is too cold-blooded. When he was about to question him, there was a burst of exclamation from below.Wang Xiaoyu hurriedly turned his head to look.

Her heart tightened, and she stared at the situation on the field without blinking. At the moment just now, she witnessed the god of death and Alan passing by, and one horn of the bull knocked over Alan. Lun, suddenly raised the atmosphere of the audience.

After the knock over, Allen lay on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. At this time, the bull didn't give him a chance to breathe, and rushed over again. If Allen didn't stand up again, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Get someone to pull that bull away!" Wang Xiaoyu yelled at Aiweier, who just glanced at her and didn't speak.

Wang Xiaoyu got angry, and stepped forward, ignoring the exclamation around him, holding the opponent's collar in one hand, and clenched the other into a fist; "He is your own brother, how can you be so cold-blooded?"

"What does this have to do with you?" The other party's words almost caused Wang Xiaoyu to have a cerebral hemorrhage. If it wasn't for other people's obstruction, she would definitely slap that face.

After the aggrieved person returned to his seat, Allen, who had fallen to the ground, had stood up again, and the distance between him and the cow was rapidly shortening.

"Crazy, crazy!" To Wang Xiaoyu's surprise, Alan rushed towards the bull. Could it be that he just broke his brain?What made her even more incomprehensible was the excited attitude of the people around her.

What happens when a man collides with a cow?Wang Xiaoyu didn't dare to imagine. She wanted to close her eyes, but she couldn't restrain her curiosity. She watched Alan hold the bull's head with both hands when he was almost face to face with the bull, borrowing the bull's head like a jumping goat. Support, the body rotates 180 degrees.

The movement was done in one go, and although there was a surprise but no danger, his feet landed firmly on the ground. As for the bull that lost its target, it was dragged down by a group of strong men, and Alan was left alone on the field again, like a triumphant He raised his arms high like a returning general, enjoying the cheers of the people.

The ears were full of deafening applause. Everyone stood up and applauded with all their strength. As for Aiweier, there was a faint smile on his face.

Amidst the applause, Alan walked towards the high platform surrounded by a group of people. The servants who had been preparing for a long time immediately greeted him enthusiastically. A beautiful garland was hung around Alan's neck, and the beautiful maid presented soft linen. And someone's gaze stayed on Wang Xiaoyu from the beginning to the end.

Alan came to Wang Xiaoyu and stared at him for a full ten seconds, making Wang Xiaoyu, a thick-skinned person, a little hot, when Alan suddenly rushed over and hugged him tightly.

There are countless pairs of eyes behind her, and people around are booing and whistling. Such a scene made Alexander Wang Xiaoyu want to push Alan away, but he heard the other party excitedly say; "Thank you!"

"Thank me? Why thank me?" Wang Xiaoyu didn't know why, so she didn't seem to do anything.

"If it weren't for your existence, I wouldn't be so smooth, so I want to give you a surprise!" Alan let go of Wang Xiaoyu, his eyes were full of excitement, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee, holding Wang Xiaoyu's right hand .

"I, Alan, Korendol, here today I solemnly ask you to be my woman, and I will make you happy!" Alan's words were like a grenade that instantly knocked Wang Xiaoyu unconscious. Are you proposing to yourself?Although she wanted to take it as a joke, the other party's eyes were very serious.

"Promise him, promise him." The people around were booing, which made Wang Xiaoyu have an urge to run away. Although she had a good impression of him, she was not so good that she suddenly became his wife.But with so many people around watching, and the other party is the patriarch's younger brother, if he refuses in person, it will definitely make it difficult for the other party to raise his head in the future.

At this time, Wang Xiaoyu was caught in a dilemma. It was no good to agree, and it was no good not to agree. The booing around her made her feel extremely irritable.

Wang Xiaoyu's sudden departure froze the atmosphere at the scene. As for what happened to the scene after she left, she didn't know, she got into her room and didn't come out.

Wang Xiaoyu hid for several days. She hardly went out these days, and Alan never came to her. After calming down, she began to think whether her behavior hurt the other party.

I wanted to apologize several times, but when I got to the door, I didn’t have the courage. A certain person was struggling every day thinking about whether to apologize or not. This situation lasted for several days. On the fourth day, the other party still didn’t After a little movement, Wang Xiaoyu couldn't sit still anymore, she made up her mind to apologize to the other party.

Since she has to apologize, it seems unreasonable not to bring some gifts, but now she cannibalizes others, so she can’t give them away. After thinking about it, she suddenly thought that she might be able to teach the other party some modern skills, such as pottery making .

After making up her mind, Wang Xiaoyu decided to go to Alan to apologize. This time, no one stopped her when she went out, but the eyes of everyone along the way made her a little puzzled, jealous, and angry...

After all, Wang Xiaoyu lowered his head along the way, and when he walked halfway, he remembered that he didn't seem to know where Alan was. He saw an old man working around him, and asked him that he was at the market at this time. , After asking the direction of the market, he turned and left.
