Lan Xiaoya couldn't hold back: "...Who is 'she'?"
Jiang Yao said: "This is also what you want to know, what happened to Jia's house later."
She spoke eloquently.
The story was a bit long, and she told it for nearly an hour before finishing it.
The three people who listened to the story were trembling with fear at first, but at the end they cursed angrily.
Lan Xiaoya was so outspoken that she completely forgot where she was. She stood up and patted the altar table hard. The incense candles placed on the altar were shaken by her pats.
"It's worse than a beast!"
Even Gao Ruyue, who spoke softly and had a gentle temper, was so angry that she uttered a curse word.
Li Yu was trembling all over, her eyes were red, and tears overflowed uncontrollably and fell down.
Her voice was choked with sobs: "Is the girl I saw in Jia's house 'her'?"
Jiang Yao nodded and handed her a napkin.
Li Yu burst into tears and buried herself in the arms of Yuan Jiaxin who was standing next to her, crying loudly.
Yuan Jiaxin, who was hugged tightly by her, raised her hand stiffly and patted her back awkwardly.
The dark and damp Dragon Girl Temple echoed with her cries.
Jiang Yao: "…………"
[Oh my god, where are these villagers human beings? Scarier than the devil. 】
[The human heart is more terrifying than ghosts. 】
[Does anyone in the family knock on Li Yu and Yuan Jiaxin? Have a good time! 】
【Knocking on anything will only harm you. 】
Time is running out, Jiang Yao said: "Even if the weirdos are in the same camp as us, those villagers and Village Chief Tan are not easy to mess with. If they are discovered, your level 7 difficulty clearance mission will become level 50 difficulty. "
Lan Xiaoya took a deep breath to disperse the anger accumulated in her chest:
"You have no skills on your own, add me! Although I'm only level 5, I have a lot of life-saving tools."
Gao Ruyue hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly raised her hand and whispered.
"I'm joining too. I'm lucky. I should be able to add some help to the team."
Li Yu choked and raised her hands: "I'll go too!"
Jiang Yao's eyes fell on Yuan Jiaxin.
Yuan Jiaxin comforted Li Yu for a moment, then quickly recovered and nodded after a while.
Jiang Yao: "Then you go rescue people, and I'll find the sealed artifact."
Several people nodded.
Jiang Yao opened the wooden box he dug out at Jia's house, took out the meat ball inside, and embedded it into the heart of the clay sculpture.
Like an eyeball, the flesh ball instantly blends into the clay sculpture upon contact.
They left the Dragon Girl Temple, with Lan Xiaoya and the others walking in front, and Jiang Yao and Yuan Jiaxin walking behind.
Jiang Yao said: "Protect them, and I will complete the deal with you."
'Yuan Jiaxin' was not surprised that she recognized him. His eyes swept over the people in front of him and finally stopped on Li Yu.
She said: "I will."
Even if Jiang Yao didn't say anything, she would protect their safety.
These girls could obviously choose an easier way to pass the level, but for the sake of a story, they chose to help the weird side.
She has been here for a long, long time, so long that she has almost forgotten her beautiful memories.
If she could be reincarnated into the world they live in, she should be able to grow up as happy as them, right?
pity.
Jiang Yao said no more.
Split up with them.
…
Fangshitai is built on a hillside next to the Yan River. Five-meter stone pillars surround the round platform. From a distance, it looks like a bowl holding the endless Yan River.
The sky was dark and depressing, with dark clouds covering the sky like a city.
Except for the villagers patrolling the village, all the men in the village came here.
Lan Xiaoya and the others were hiding in a nearby pile of rocks on a slightly higher ground. Looking from above, they could clearly see the villagers wearing masks. In front of them was the girl with braids who had become the Dragon Girl's stand-in.
She was still wearing a red embroidered skirt, sitting cross-legged on the round platform. The cold and biting wind blew up her braids, and her limbs were shaking and shivering from the cold.
'Dong dong——'
The sound of drums came from afar.
"Here we go, I'll throw the smoke bomb later and you guys can find a chance to rescue her." Lan Xiaoya said.
Smoke grenade props can temporarily confuse surrounding enemies for one minute.
One minute is enough to save someone.
Li Yu and Yuan Jiaxin went to rescue people, while Lan Xiaoya and Gao Ruyue covered for them and contained the enemy.
Li Yu, who was following Yuan Jiaxin and sneaking close to Fang Shoutai, did this for the first time. He was so nervous that he couldn't breathe easily. He wanted to run away several times, but when he thought of the girl in the story, he felt a suffocation in his heart. , supporting her forward.
Yuan Jiaxin saw her fear and walked in front and said, "I can save her by myself, so you stay here."
"No! I want to save!" Li Yu snorted softly, his voice trembling with fear, but his words were strong: "I'm very courageous, don't underestimate me."
Yuan Jiaxin looked at her deeply and said no more.
'despair--'
Smoke bombs costing one thousand Thrill Coins were thrown everywhere. They put on gas masks and vision glasses and stepped into the thick fog.
Li Yu was the first to arrive in front of the round platform, but what caught his eye was the girl with braids whose hands and feet were nailed to the round platform.
She was obviously pale in pain, but she still kept smiling.
"Hiss..." Li Yu pursed her lips, bought a lot of medicine from the mall, and poured it on her wound for free.
The girl with braids saw an acquaintance and said quickly, "Why are you here?"
Li Yu said: "We are here to save you, come with us quickly."
The braided man shook his head: "I won't leave."
Li Yu was so anxious that he could not speak.
It was Yuan Jiaxin who asked: "Why?"
The braid endured the pain and said with a smile: "The village chief said that if I leave, my parents and younger brother will die."
She didn't stay here because she wanted to be the substitute of the divine dragon girl, but because of her family, she was willing to endure the iron awl piercing her limbs and let her life slowly pass by.
Li Yu clenched her fingers and her eyes turned red: "They..."
Twist braid continued her words: "I know, I know they are bad, I know them all."
As she spoke, her voice was choked and she said with a cry: "But I have many friends in the village. If I don't die, they will die. I don't want to die, but I don't want to see them die..."
Li Yu was stunned on the spot.
Turns out she knew all along.
Know what this 'Dragon Girl Marriage' festival is about.
The Dragon Girl Temple can no longer be suppressed, and there are conjoined corpses floating at night. Things are gradually getting out of the control of the villagers and Village Chief Tan.
They held the Dragon Girl Marriage Festival, watered it with the blood of their own daughters, and skinned their skins to make drums, in order to suppress the overwhelming grievances in the Dragon Girl Temple.
'Tick tock, tick tock'
A drop of rain fell through the thick fog and fell on Li Yu's hand, and the pale palm was dyed bright red by the rain.
The sound of drums and melodious songs flowed into my ears continuously, like crying and complaining.
"Fangshutai, beat the earthen drum~"
"Dragon Girl Village, red rain~"
"July 7, marry the dragon girl~"
"Drink the white soup and feel happy~"
