When we came to the bamboo house, we saw several people dragging two people lying down and shouting. An old woman stood aside holding a cane and making a furious sound.

"Why haven't you woken up yet? Hurry up and wake them up even if you beat them!"The old woman knocked on the ground with her wand and shouted

"yes!"

"Bang, bang."People around started to slap their hands.

"Uh-huh..."Finally someone woke up and saw a circle of people surrounding him

"what happened?"He seems to have not grasped the situation at the scene.

"Bang, bang"

"Are you awake now?"The old woman stepped forward and hit the man twice on the head with a cane. It seemed that the pain really woke him up a lot.

"Ah, me, that, this.."

"explain! Where are the people in the house?"

"I..I don't know..."The man turned his head and looked at the bamboo house with the door wide open. He immediately knelt down and said with a trembling voice.

"you! Tell me what happened and why you two fainted!"The old woman who originally wanted to hit someone put down her crutches and continued to ask. At this time, the other person also woke up and understood the situation.

"I...we were very serious about standing guard last night and definitely didn't doze off. Then...then we saw Chun walking over there. He said he wanted to see the people in the house one last time." said one person

"I know him, he is also in the village guard, and he is engaged to someone in the house...."Another person said

"So you let him in! ?"The old woman said angrily

"No no no we don't"

"After we rejected him, he still stayed here, and then he said that I won't go in, and just take a look through the window."

"We were hesitant at the time, but he took out two cans of water, so...Then he really just looked at the same thing and left. Then I drank the water, and then...."

We all understand after hearing this

"Compared with getting rain after successfully praying for rain, is the small jar of water in front of them more valuable in their eyes? Although it's not that I don't understand." I thought

"Take these two people down! The others go and get them both back!"The old woman roared

"yes."Then the others scattered and started looking for traces

"Oh, Lord God and Yue are here too."The old woman turned around and looked at the two of us, her face returning to that smiling expression.

"Well, people in the village also went to inform me."

"I really didn’t expect that tomorrow would be the sacrifice, but something like this happened today. It’s really sad."The old woman said emotionless words in a false tone that anyone could hear.

"I wonder if the patrol team can find the kidnapped sacrifice?"

"By the way, why not Yue, you should also assist them."The old woman looked at me and said meaningfully.

I couldn't see or think about the old woman's intention when she fell to the ground. She turned to look at my father. My father was silent for a while and nodded.

My father looked at my leaving figure and asked :

"What are you planning?"

"Haha, it’s too ugly to say what to think about. I sincerely asked for his help, and if I really find it, I believe the people in the village will be very grateful to Yue if the sacrifice can be held on time."The old woman left with a sinister smile.

"........"

"Mother-in-law, why did you ask the boy from the shrine family to help find someone? asked the middle-aged man following the old woman.

"Huh, I just asked that kid to find someone, and then the people in the village will be grateful to him, because this is equivalent to indirectly saving all their lives. I have been living very peacefully in the past few years. The young people in the village have great respect for the prestige of the Yae Shrine. Some have forgotten about it, so this time we need to let them realize the importance of the shrine again, so that the merger of our two companies will bring more benefits in the future! After all, a living spiritual pillar of faith is more useful than a fox god."

"But mother-in-law, how can you be sure that that boy can be found?"

"There is a drought now, let alone the bamboo forest. As long as you walk a little further to the road, you can see the footprints on the dry land at once. I asked someone to take the kid to the starting point of the footprints. After that, everyone else moved away and sneaked behind him. Follow along, and when the time comes, people can find him and his name will be known, hahaha."The old woman started laughing and seemed to have seen her wonderful life in the future.

"Mother-in-law is wise!"The people next to me started to flatter me.

Indeed, if I really found someone who had arrived in the village, it would be like what the old woman said, but I didn't think about that kind of thing now. I took the people I came to search to. Ban Bian said they would search separately, but I didn't stop them.

I walked for a while and then I found two sets of footprints. Judging from the size, they were of a man and a woman. I didn't want to use the tracking skills I learned from Grandpa Lokos. In a place like this, when I wanted to look for other people, I found that there was no one around.

"Have you all gone back? It's impossible, it's impossible to go back before finding someone, but..."I looked at the direction of the village and then at the direction where the footprints extended. I still walked in the direction of the footprints. I didn't walk very fast. I didn't want to catch up with them.

I walked for half a day. When I thought they had escaped from the mountain, I followed the footprints and came to a cave.

I went in and saw two people inside. The visitor was very excited when he saw someone chasing him. One person was busy protecting the other person behind him. I walked in and saw the two people clearly, and they also saw me clearly. I didn't Not expecting this result.

I walked up and didn't know what to say. I just stood looking at the two of them, and suddenly I knelt down.

"Lord Yue, please, can you please let us two go!"He lowered his head so low that he hit the stone. The woman behind him also knelt down but didn't say a single glance.

I looked at the man in front of me. I still had a good sense of him. When he was conquering the monsters, he took the initiative to be the last one. One of them was also a bait chasing danger.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the two of them kowtowed vigorously. I didn't say anything and turned around, leaving a way. When they saw this,

"grateful! Thank you very much, Mr. Yue!"After kowtowing, Chun picked up the girl on his back. I discovered that the girl's feet were swollen and seemed to have been sprained when she ran away. No wonder she ran here.

I stood in the cave and listened to the footsteps of the two people walking away. , took a deep breath and exhaled, I felt really relaxed, but there was a shout from behind me

"found it! Both are here!"

I walked out of the cave and saw the patrol team. Chun was tied with a rope and pressed to the ground. His eyes were blood red and he shouted for a girl. I looked at the girl and had been taken away.

"Lord Yue, thanks to Lord Yue, we were able to find them so quickly!"A man suddenly said

"I...it's not, I..."

"Thanks, Lord Yue, we can go back to work!"

"Yes, you are indeed Lord Yue!"

My voice was drowned in the crowd.

Looking at the people walking away, I knew that all this was arranged by that damn old woman!!

In the village square, almost all the villagers were gathered here, most of them were He was cursing Jun who was tied and kneeling on the ground.

"How could this man kidnap the sacrifice like this?"

"This is to destroy the village!"

"This kind of person should be used to dip into the river later!"

The old woman walked forward and waved her hands, and the scene became quiet.

"For what this person did, we all agreed that he should be severely punished, so we followed the rules handed down in the village and used it to dip into the river! The time is right after the sacrifice. Now, someone is coming to lock him up at home and keep him under strict supervision! In addition, the Bamboo House has also sent additional manpower! We absolutely cannot let this happen again!"

"yes!"Immediately two people came next to me.

"Mother-in-law, you can't do this! She..she is no longer pure! So we can no longer make sacrifices!!"Jun shouted

"What nonsense! Everything is inspected when choosing sacrifices!"

"That is, my daughter has been as guarded as a jade since she was a child. How is that possible!"The girl's mother rushed up and said

"I did not lie!! Just last night!!"Jun shouted, and later even a smile appeared on his face, because he knew that as long as he was not pure, he would not be called a sacrifice. The old woman's face was a little gloomy, which was obviously beyond his expectation.

The people around him began to get angry and wanted to get angry. He came up and beat Chun violently, but was stopped by the village guards.

"Don't get excited, everyone, what he says may not be the truth! It just so happens that my mother-in-law is here and I want her to check it out, won’t she know?"Some experienced people in the village suggested

"Yes, my mother-in-law is here, I will know after checking it."

"Even if it’s not the case, isn’t there another candidate when choosing?"

The scene gradually calmed down after hearing this. Chun laughed and was taken away, and the others dispersed.

I didn't see this scene. After I came back, I didn't go back to the village but went directly back to my home.

"What's wrong, brother? Look tired?"I returned to the room and lay down directly on the tatami. Sakura and Rin looked at me curiously.

"No, I'm just a little tired..."I covered my eyes with my right hand and lay motionless. Then I felt someone lift my head, and then there was a soft feeling on the back of my head. I opened my eyes and saw Sakura's face.

"I usually take the pillow next to my brother-in-law, but it’s good to change it up every once in a while."

I chuckled and closed my eyes again, and Sakura began to massage my head.

"It feels so comfortable, I really want to sleep like this...."Just like that my consciousness faded away.
