Chapter 272
"It's not... Your Highness, although the people of Xianlong Town are scarce, there has never been such a situation! What the hell is going on here?"
Ma Ming was also dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Murong Qin turned over and dismounted, looked around, and said
, "Don't worry, find someone to ask first." She
didn't believe it, there was no one in the huge Xianlong Town, and
everyone continued to walk inside, until they were almost in the middle of the town, when they heard some movement in front of them.
Murong Qin looked at Ying Yi, and Ying Yi immediately flew forward.
"Your Highness, there must be a demon when things go wrong, it's better to be careful!" Qing Yao said in a deep voice, holding the hilt of the knife behind her and standing on her right side.
Murong Qin nodded and said to everyone, "Everyone be careful.
"Yes. Everyone answered, and then they all raised their vigilance.
After a while, Shadow flew back, but his face was a little unsightly.
"How?"
"Your Highness, there is a sacrifice in front, and the sacrifice is two little babies. Shadow said angrily.
Everyone's hearts sank.
The people of Daling Kingdom do often sacrifice, but they are generally used for livestock and the like, and rarely use human sacrifices, and they are still children, which is too cruel to be heard of.
"Your Highness—" Everyone looked at her.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Murong
Qin's eyebrows flashed with a gloomy color, and he walked forward quickly with everyone.
In the middle of the town, a roaring bonfire is burning on the inner and outer three floors, and a group of men and women dressed in strange costumes are dancing strangely in the middle.
It seems that the smoke floating over Xianlong Town was generated by these things.
Outside the campfire was a crowd of shabby-dressed townspeople, choking on snot and tears, but none of them left, all looking reverently at the statue in front of them in the center.
The statue was about six feet high, and he was dressed in armor and held a long whip in his hand, and under his seat was a huge four-like mount, which looked very powerful, and on the ground in front of the statue were two children, a man and a woman, tied with a strong rope.
The boy was about 4 years old, wearing a shabby stub shirt with obviously ill-fitting trousers underneath, tattered shoes on his feet, dirty and naked feet, and a pair of innocent eyes full of tears, and his voice was dumb and speechless, and he had obviously been crying for a long time.
The girl, who was about six years old, was also terrified, and both wept as they turned their eyes to a woman in the crowd who had already fallen to the ground crying.
It only takes one glance to know that the woman is supposed to be the mother of the two children.
However, such a sad and pitiful scene, everyone around seemed to be unable to see it, and they all looked numb.
Seeing this scene, anger instantly surged into the hearts of several people, and Rao is Ma Ming's good temper was also directly burst into foul language
, "What should we do? We can't just watch these two children go to death, right? Damn! These people are really hard-hearted! The subordinates really can't stand it!"
"Don't talk about them, if it weren't for a trace of reason, maybe Murong Qin would have ordered them to rush out to save people."
She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice
, "Don't worry, wait a little longer, see what the hell they're doing!"
With that, Murong Qin turned and walked over to the woman who was crying and fell to the ground.
At this time, the woman's face was desperate, and her eyes were already red and swollen, but she couldn't bear the fierce gods in front of her to block her way.
"My child—
" big tears slipped down the woman's dry face, and she crawled up to one of the old men, and suddenly kowtowed a few times, and sobbed silently,
"Please... Let my children go! They are too young to know anything! If you want human sacrifices, take the little women away, and the little women will die for them... Let
them go, let them go...""Ignorance!"
The old man raised his foot and kicked her aside, and scolded her condescendingly
, "Such a selfish person is really a disgrace to our Xianlong Town! What are your two children, if the river god is angry and blames him, the people of the whole town will suffer, compared to two children, this is the most important
thing!" Such cold and heartless words suddenly destroyed the last glimmer of hope for the woman, and she froze in place for an instant, and a look of death appeared on her face.
The man next to him not only comforted him, but also said with a disgusted face
, "Child, mother, what the mayor said is right, you don't want to mess around anymore, Tie Dan and Big Ya can become the sacrifice of the river god and do their part for our Xianlong Town, which can be regarded as the blessing they have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and you are not trying to damage their blessings by obstructing them in every possible way?
After that, he picked up the wine jug on his waist and poured a sip of wine, and happily touched the extra two taels of silver on his chest.
"Tie Dan's father has a great heart, and he is really a role model among the younger generation! If everyone has the same consciousness as you, then it would be good!Yuan'er, Heng'er, you two should be on par with Tie Dan's father!" said
the mayor with a look of approval on his face.
The two men next to him looked at each other, and both complimented each other with a smile on their faces, "Yes, Dad!" "
The mayor has won the award..."The man coughed lightly, as if he was righteous and awe-inspiring.
The woman looked at this scene in disbelief, she never dared to speak loudly on weekdays, she trembled angrily, and said heartbrokenly
, "You are not as good as a pig and a dog! Tiger poison does not eat children, you are not even as good as a beast..."
"Okay, you poisonous woman! My son is kind enough to persuade you, but you still dare to curse people? Our old Zhao family was blind at the beginning, so that you, a woman who does not distinguish between black and white and has a vicious heart, entered the door, and the old lady beat you to death, a slut! You wait, today the old lady will ask my son to divorce you!!"
"Bang bang!".
In just a few strokes, the woman's forehead had been smashed, and red blood was running down her eyelids, but she didn't know the pain, she didn't cry, she didn't scream, she just suffered numbly.
"Mother..." The
two children suddenly cried again, and the woman's eyelids finally moved, and she turned her gaze in the direction of the altar, and a flash of water flashed in her eyes.
During this time, everyone was indifferent, even the man was watching while drinking, as if none of this had anything to do with him.
The woman was tired of beating and scolding, and finally let go of the thick hand that was holding her hair, and snorted at her with a mouthful of thick phlegm, "What a cheap hoove!" Listening to the shouting and scolding
in her ears, there was not a trace of waves on the woman's calm face.
The next moment, she raised her eyes.
His reluctant eyes took one last look at the two children not far away, and suddenly smiled, and before everyone could react, he jumped up and slammed into the stone on the side at an incredible speed!
