Chapter 1575 Sacrificial Offerings
Chapter 1575 Sacrificial Offerings
It was late at night and there was silence all around, with only the breeze blowing gently.
The abbot stopped the tricycle and got off.
Yan Ruyu also jumped out of the carriage to stretch her legs.
"Go ahead and start, I'll watch you."
The abbot nodded, then hesitated: "I was busy doing it before, and didn't think too much about it. What do you think if we put the things here and someone steals them?"
"Don't worry," Yan Ruyu said confidently, "a bag of materials is so heavy, who would steal it? Besides, I don't know what they would do with it. Besides, after the foundation is laid tomorrow morning, there will be people guarding it. It will only be half an hour, so it won't be lost."
The abbot thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll start moving. You keep an eye on it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the abbot entered the space to load the truck. After a while, he drove out the forklift to unload the things from the truck. He was busy coming and going all the time.
Yan Ruyu watched him driving the forklift and thought that he drove it quite well. But tinkering with these things in the middle of the night did not look like someone doing something good secretly, but more like someone stealing something.
When everything was almost ready on the open space, the abbot took back the forklift, got on the electric tricycle, and rushed to the next place with Yan Ruyu.
There were three places in total, all of which were filled, which took quite a while, and then we started to rush back.
Yan Ruyu sat on the electric tricycle, feeling an unreal sense of pride.
She suddenly missed Huo Changhe very much and wanted to share her feelings and emotions with him.
I don’t know how he is doing now, whether he has found Li Baru, and whether he has found out the whereabouts of the old prince.
When they arrived at the city gate, it was almost dawn. The abbot put away the electric tricycle, and the two of them walked back to stretch their legs.
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Yan Ruyu stopped him and said, "Hurry up and get some rest. You still have to attend the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow, and you are the highlight."
"OK, no problem."
"Take a look and see if the prince's position has changed."
"Okay," the abbot went in to check without saying a word.
Soon he came out of the space again: "No, it's still the same."
Yan Ruyu nodded slowly. The abbot saw her worry and comforted her, "Don't worry. The prince is so powerful, and the people he brought with him are also very capable. Jin Ding is also with him, and Xiaolan is also here. Nothing will happen."
"I understand. Please go back to the hospital."
Yan Ruyu turned around and walked slowly towards her residence, not feeling sleepy at all.
……
When Huo Changhe was leaving the headman's house, he received the news from Xiaolan and followed quietly with his men.
Feng Shao and the young lady were walking on the village road. It was pitch black and quite scary.
"Why is it so dark?" he asked in a low voice.
"The villagers all go to bed early to save lamp oil."
Bee Whistle nodded: "How far is it?"
"It's just around the corner. His home is near the edge of the village."
The young lady is in front and the bee whistle is behind.
About a hundred meters ahead, there was a faint smell of grass in the air, a bit like the smell on the hands of the village head's youngest son.
Bee Whistle sniffed and turned the corner.
The view in front of me suddenly opened up, and there were three rooms in front, silent in the darkness.
But the outline structure of this room doesn't look like a house, but more like a temple.
Feng Shao was puzzled and said to the young lady walking briskly in front of him: "Is this his house? How come…"
It didn't feel right, and even though it was dark, it felt like eyes were watching.
Feng Xiao always believed in his intuition. He immediately stopped and did not move forward.
But it was too late. The lights in the house opposite came on and a group of people came out holding torches. Leading them was the old village head.
The young lady walked up to him, lowered her head and said nothing.
Feng Xiao's mind raced, and he knew that his secret had been exposed, but he didn't know exactly where it had been exposed.
When I came here, I had secretly sprinkled the perfume powder given by the princess. I believe the prince and others are not far away.
So, after a brief moment of surprise, Bee Whistle was not panicked.
"Li Zheng, what does this mean?"
The village head chuckled, his expression and smile were the same as before when he was at home, but Fengxiao felt that he was like a different person.
"Young man, let's not mince words in public. Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Feng Shao refused to admit it and said with a smile: "I told you, every word is true."
"I'm afraid that not a word you said is true," the village head shook his head. "No, that's not right. One thing is true. You came here to see Li Baru."
After he said that, he waved his hand, and a young man walked out of the team, also holding a torch in his hand.
Feng Shao looked at him carefully. The man was of medium build, very strong, with many braids on his head, dark skin, thick eyebrows, deep eye sockets, and slightly thick lips.
They are indeed somewhat different from the people in the Central Plains.
Li Baru also looked at Feng Shao with a cold expression: "Who are you? I don't know you."
"You don't remember me?" Bee Whistle said, "Look carefully, we met when we were young. My father was a businessman, and I followed him to your place. We played together when we were young."
Li Baru listened quietly without interrupting. Feng Shao thought there was something going on and said a lot.
When he finished speaking, Lao Li was laughing.
"Baru is the grandson of the old chief, and he should have inherited the position of chief. People who are trained to be chiefs from a young age are not allowed to meet any outsiders before the age of thirteen, not even people from the tribe, let alone you, a Central Plains person."
Bee Whistle: “…” Damn it.
You saw through it, but you didn't tell me earlier. You made me say so much, and I almost believed it myself.
Feng Shao now knew where the problem lay. The old man discovered it at the dinner table.
Let his daughter-in-law seduce him in the middle of the night.
Feng Shao sighed, smiled, and said in a very scoundrelly tone, "Okay, you saw it a long time ago? Even after seeing it, you still let your daughter-in-law come to see me? What's the point of this?"
"Don't you take your reputation seriously? It's too frivolous. This is unlike me, the women of the Central Plains."
Lao Lizheng's face darkened: "Nothing is more important than sacrifice."
Bee Whistle disagreed: "What does my sacrifice have to do with you?"
"Of course it matters. You are our offering."
Feng Xiao's eyes widened: What the hell is this? Who is the offering?
……
Yan Ruyu woke up from her dream and opened her eyes. It was already light outside the window. She listened carefully and heard Linlang was still exercising in the yard.
She stroked her forehead and recalled the dream she had just had.
Huo Changhe was trapped in a large patch of unknown grass. The grass seemed to be alive and could entangle people and tie them up tightly. The juice of the grass could also make people hallucinate and lose consciousness.
She sighed secretly, fortunately, it was just a dream.
At this time of year, the grass tips haven't come out yet, so how could there be that kind of grass?
After calming down in the space and just about to come out, the abbot called again.
"Ruyu, are you awake? I'm ready. I haven't worn my cassock for a long time. I look so energetic today."
"Then go find Beibei and Quandao and ask them to go to the spice shop to get you some good Buddhist incense."
"I'll meet you at the gate after I'm done packing."
"it is good!"
