After sleeping until dawn, Jiujiu opened her eyes and went downstairs to eat.

Zhang Jinkang is already waiting for Jiujiu downstairs.

Seeing Jiujiu down, Zhang Jinkang took a bit of envy in his eyes.

Jiujiu finished breakfast in Zhang Jinkang's envious eyes.

After dinner, they naturally couldn't stay in the inn. Jiujiu offered to go out and see if they could find some more evidence.

The place where Li Jia village can go has basically been. Jiujiu thought about it and took Zhang Jinkang to the previous shop selling incense paper money.

It's strange to say that the incense and paper money shop was crowded before, but it's deserted today.

Jiujiu stood at the door and knocked. The shop owner looked up. After seeing Jiujiu, he was stunned and smiled at Jiujiu, "little girl, you're coming."

Jiujiu walked into the shop, "why didn't anyone come today?"

"When he came, they didn't dare to come."

"Who is he?"

"Sacrifice." the shop owner was worried, "little girl, when the sacrifice is over, you can go as far as you can. Don't spend your whole life in such a ghost place like me."

The shopkeeper's words sound very meaningful.

Jiujiu, who had just wanted to turn around, sat directly on the stool, looked at the store owner and asked, "boss, can you tell me the story of Lijia village?"

"The story of Lijia village?"

The boss opened his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile. Then he sat up straight and sighed, "well, I have nothing to do today. Let me tell you the story of Lijia village.

There used to be 5000 people in our Lijia village. "

The boss said that and gave Jiujiu a slap.

Hearing that the boss said there were 5000 people, Zhang Jinkang immediately said, "it's impossible."

Although the scale of the village is large, it doesn't look like it can be built by 500 people, it can't be exaggerated to 5000 people.

His words were questioned. The shopkeeper's face was a little bad for a moment. He looked at Zhang Jinkang angrily and said coldly, "if you don't believe it, go out."

Zhang Jinkang was very clear about the temper of these NPCs and quickly apologized, "it's my blunder. Don't blame the boss."

For Zhang Jinkang's apology, the boss snorted and continued to tell Jiujiu, "three hundred years ago, there was a flash flood. A month later, the flood still hasn't subsided. If it continues like this, the villagers will starve to death. Someone said that the river god was angry about the flash flood. We must find a pair of boys and girls to sacrifice, otherwise, the flood won't subside."

"The villagers have been trapped on the mountain for more than a month. They have eaten all they can eat. If the flood doesn't recede, they are afraid to eat people. After hearing such an idea, they immediately agreed.

At that time, most of the more than 5000 people in the village were able to escape because a man named Mo Xiao knocked on the door door after he found something wrong and asked them to run for their lives.

Many people in the village have children, but whose children are their own flesh and blood. They are reluctant to let their children be sacrifices. Some people say that Mo Xiao is so kind, or take Mo Xiao's children as sacrifices.

Although Mo Xiao was kind-hearted, he didn't want his children to be sacrifices, but the villagers were numerous. Without Mo Xiao's consent, he directly knocked Mo Xiao out and robbed his children.

When Mo Xiao woke up, his child had been sacrificed.

Strange to say, since the sacrifice, the mountain torrent has really subsided, and all the villagers have gone back, while Mo Xiao has stayed on the mountain.

Ten years later, Mo Xiao suddenly came back and claimed to be a sacrifice. He also said that the mountain torrent would come again soon. If you want to extinguish the anger of the river god, you must use a pair of boys and girls as sacrifices, otherwise the mountain torrent will break out again.

People in the village thought that Mo Xiao was crazy when the children were gone, and they didn't take it seriously. But three days later, the flood suddenly hit, and less than half of the villagers were drowned. Those who survived chose a pair of boys and girls as sacrifices for Mo Xiao to sacrifice to the river God.

Mo Xiao built a River Temple in the mountains for the villagers to worship.

After a long time, Mo Xiao asked for more and more boys and girls. Until this year, it has become ten pairs.

In recent years, people in the village don't want to go out, but Lijia village is a cursed place. As long as there is the blood of Lijia village, they can't run out at all. In a few years, when no one can be a sacrifice, I'm afraid Lijia village will be completely gone. "

The boss didn't know why Xiaoyao offered sacrifices, but Jiujiu understood.

I'm afraid that Xiaoyao wants to use the lives of those children to maintain the lives of rivers and gods.

However, Jiujiu's mentality has changed.

At first, Jiujiu was disgusted that Xiaoyao wanted to sacrifice with children, but now she was a little distressed.

At first, he was the kindest heart. He was willing to risk his life to let all the villagers escape from the danger, but in the end, he lost his favorite pair of children.

He wanted to choose kindness, but the reality forced him to become cruel, and he could only be cruel.

Jiujiu looked at the boss's lonely look and suddenly asked, "can I ask, why do you know so much?"

The boss opened his mouth and showed a strange smile, "because I'm his friend."

The boss's words made Zhang Jinkang's face fear again.

He thought Xiaoyao and his two children were ghosts. Unexpectedly, the store owner who looked normal was not normal.

For the truth of the boss, Jiujiu stood up and said thank you, then turned and left.

Before Jiujiu left, the boss caught up and just stuffed Jiujiu with a packet of incense and paper money, smiled and said, "find a place to burn before sacrifice."

Jiujiu said thanks and left with incense and paper money.

Zhang Jinkang followed, but his eyes were fixed on the incense and paper money in Jiujiu's hand. His eyes turned around in his eyes. He didn't know what he was making up his mind.

That day, Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang only came to such a place, but they knew the reason for the sacrifice in Lijia village, which was a harvest.

Back to the inn, after dinner, Jiujiu went to wash, while Zhang Jinkang stared at the incense and paper money Jiujiu put on the table in a daze.

Jiujiu goes to bed after washing.

Early the next morning, after they went downstairs and had breakfast, they saw people coming and going outside the inn.

The old woman, who always had a gloomy face, had a rare smile on her face. She took the initiative to say to Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang, "we will sacrifice tomorrow."

The longing tone on this face is really strange.

Jiujiu frowned. She always felt that sacrifice was different from what she imagined.

Because there are too many people outside today, Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang didn't go out.
