Chapter 926： Draw

Beijing is different from other places in Jingguo. The night is very short. Only one or two hours before dawn.

As soon as the day came, Zhou Ran woke up, but after waking up, he found that he had not slept.

Xiong Xiaoyin also woke up, looking at Zhou Ran's sleepy look, with a guilty look on his face.

"Brother Breeze, I'm sorry, Northland is early in the morning. You probably didn't sleep well?"

"I'm awake." Zhou Ran smiled.

"Since I woke up, I will send you out of here!"

said, Xiong Xiaoyin cleaned up, and then left Zhou Ran with the village.

The two of them went south all the way. After half an hour, they came to a mountain pass.

Xiong Xiaoyin pointed to the mountain pass and said, "Brother Breeze, out of this mountain pass, fifty miles south is the border town. When you reach the border town, you should know how to go back."

"Thank you."

Zhou Ran was grateful that if it wasn’t Xiong Xiaoyin, he was afraid that he would go around in the north and didn’t know how to leave.

Xiong Xiaoyin smiled bitterly and said, "The north is bitter and cold, and it is not coordinated day and night, and there are snow beasts. The foreigners can't stand here at all. But for our northerners, the north is the hometown. No matter how, we must guard our hometown."

"Xiaoyin, don't be pretentious, the beautiful scenery of the Northland, the outstanding people, is a good place!" Zhou Ran comforted, "My hometown, there are places like the Northland, polar day, polar night, and aurora, let people I feel beautiful and romantic!"

"Really?"

Xiong Xiaoyin looked very excited, but there were tears in his eyes.

Zhou Ran looked at Xiong Xiaoyin and asked, "Xiaoyin, is something happening today?"

"No!"

Xiong Xiaoyin denied, but his words flickered, but he couldn't escape Zhou Ran's eyes.

Zhou Ran smiled and said nothing, waved goodbye to Xiong Xiaoyin, and left toward the Yamaguchi.

Xiong Xiaoyin gently wiped the tears, and after feeling sad for a while, he returned to the village.

The chief's daughter did not notice that someone behind him was being followed. This person was none other than Zhou Ran.

Although only one night spent in Beidi, the hospitality of Beidi people left a deep impression on Zhou Ran.

Compared to today, there must be a major event in Northland, so Xiong Xiaoyin is so sad.

The grace of a meal, Zhou Ran will not forget, he quietly followed Xiong Xiaoyin back to the village.

The village has gathered a lot of people, all of them are sitting on the snow, and no one feels cold.

Everyone's face is particularly dignified, especially Chief Xiong Hun, a face is like an iron plate.

Xiong Xiaoyin came back a little late because of sending Zhou Ran, Xiong Hun stared at her daughter fiercely, and said, "Xinyin, where have you been?"

"I'm going to send Brother Qingfeng, he doesn't know the way." Xiong Xiaoyin said truthfully.

"Everyone outsiders doesn't even know the sufferings of the Northerners, why should he be so good to him?" Xiong Hun disdained, "You have spent a couple of hours here and there, and almost delayed the major event! Even It’s my daughter, so I can’t help myself!”

"Sorry." Xiong Xiaoyin apologized softly.

The other folks were impatient and started to urge them.

"Chief, let's get started! If the snow beast gets angry and destroys the village, who will be responsible?"

"The male beast is sleeping for a long time, and the northern land is temporarily calm. The sacrifice must be decided earlier!"

"This is also for the entire Northland, so sloppy!"

Xiong Hun smiled all over his face, and said, "Since that is the case, let's get started!"

said, Xiong Hun found the master of ceremonies. The master of ceremonies held a box, and the box was full of paper notes.

The folks all took a breath of relief. When the master of ceremonies approached, they pulled a note from the box. Everyone could not be spared, regardless of gender, regardless of age.

After drawing out the note, everyone will carefully check the note, and after confirming that it is just a normal note, they will be relieved.

This kind of ritual is experienced by the northerners every month, offering sacrifices for the snow beasts for the village.

Half of the folks took notes from the box, but it was still inconclusive as to who the sacrifice was.

The master of ceremonies finally came to the chiefs Xiong Hun and Xiong Xiaoyin.

Even as chieftain and chieftain's daughter, Xiong Hun and Xiong Xiaoyin were not spared, and they had to pull out a note from the box.

Xiong Hun unambiguously pulled out a note.

There was nothing on the note, nothing.

Then, Xiong Hun looked at his daughter.

compared with Xiong Hun, Xiong Xiaoyin looked extremely hesitant, a thoughtful look.

Xiong Hun patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Xiao Yin, hurry up! This is the life of the Northlanders, and no one can be spared."

"Ok."

Xiong Xiaoyin nodded gently, tears in her eyes, and pulled the note out of the box. She spread out the note, and the red heart on the note was vivid.

"Woo!"

Xiong Xiaoyin cried, but not because of sadness and fear, but for the destiny of being a Northlander.

Xiong Hun also saw the note in his daughter's hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Yin, this is your life, although you are my daughter, but I must not be favoritism! Today, you go to Xuedong!"

None of the folks were glad that they hadn't been selected. All of them felt sorry for Xiong Xiaoyin.

Even the chief's daughter can't be alone, not to mention others?

"Daddy Thank you for your kindness!"

Xiong Xiaoyin knelt on the ground and thanked his father.

Xiong Hun felt a heartache. He didn't even dare to look at his daughter, so he turned around.

Xiong Xiaoyin knew that his father would not care about himself anymore, so he stood up and left the village under the watch of the villagers.

The way to Xuedong, Xiong Xiaoyin is very familiar.

Those who unfortunately won the red heart paper, left the village alone, and then went to the snow cave to become the food of the snow beast.

is today.

Xiong Xiaoyin stopped the tears and showed a smile.

Even if he goes to death, he can't let the snow beast look flat, and he must show confidence.

It didn't take long for Xiong Xiaoyin to come out of the snow cave, and she carefully took out an elixir.

This is the panacea made by the northerners for the sacrifice of the snow beast. The food of the snow beast has always been an innate master, but where can there be so many innate masters in the north?

This immortality medicine can temporarily make the person with insufficient strength reach the innate level and confuse the eyes of the snow beast.

After taking the Elixir, Xiong Xiaoyin only felt warm in his heart, his level seemed to have improved, but in fact it was just blindfold.

Xiong Xiaoyin had enough courage to walk towards Xuedong, but a person suddenly appeared beside him.

"Ah!"

Xiong Xiaoyin was taken aback, look again, who is not Zhou Ran? ?

"Brother Breeze, why are you here? Didn't you leave?" Xiong Xiaoyin asked in surprise.

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "I'm lost, I don't know how to get here."
