"Tang Ran." Qi Shaoyan stretched out his hand to help him slightly, and a trace of worry appeared on his usually calm face.
Tang Ran's face was pale and his lips were trembling as he wanted to say something. Qi Shaoyan leaned down and listened, only vaguely hearing three words that he didn't know.
Qi Shaoyan didn't know why Tang Ran suddenly looked like this. He glanced at the satisfied people in front of him, his eyes moved, and he walked quickly down the mountain with Tang Ran on his back.
"Uncle Tang." Qi Shaoyan supported the unconscious Tang Ran and knocked on the door anxiously.
"Squeak -" The somewhat dilapidated wooden door opened, and Father Tang looked at the unconscious Tang Ran, whose figure was shaking, "What's wrong with Xiaoran?"
After listening to Tang's father's words, everyone in the house hurriedly came to check, and worked together to place the unconscious Tang Ran on the bed.
Tang Jing, who had been silent for a long time when he woke up next to him, saw this, his fingers trembled slightly, as if he suddenly came back to his senses, and rushed to the bed like a gust of wind: "Sister, what's wrong with my sister?"
Seeing everyone staring directly at him, Qi Shaoyan felt his scalp numb for the first time, and his usually calm voice became a little tight: "I don't know, it suddenly became like this."
"Why did it suddenly look like this?" Tang's mother turned around anxiously, stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, and immediately exclaimed: "It's so hot."
The whole family is busy in an instant, and getting sick and having a fever at this time can kill someone.
After a sleepless night, Tang Ran slowly opened his eyes at dawn and looked at Tang's mother lying on the bedside of his bed. He couldn't help but cover his face and choked.
Tang's mother was instantly pleasantly surprised. She stepped forward and hugged Tang Ran, coaxing softly: "My dear, you have a nightmare, don't you? Mom is here, don't be afraid."
Tang Ran hugged Tang's mother tightly, bursting into tears, and said sorry randomly, leaving everyone confused.
After a while, Tang Ran calmed down. Looking at the worried eyes of everyone, he pursed his lips and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I see that there are suddenly a lot of white hairs on my mother's head, and she feels very sad all of a sudden."
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Mother Tang laughed and scolded: "You kid, it's normal for mom to have gray hair when she gets old. Could it be that mom can live for thousands of years without dying?"
"I want my mother to stay with me in peace and health for the rest of my life." Tang Ran looked at Tang's mother with tears in his eyes.
A group of people were fighting and making noise, seeming to be back to before. Tang's father and Tang's mother gave Tang Ran a few words of advice and left the room to cook.
"Sister, I'm sorry." Tang Jing stood next to Tang Ran and knelt down straight, with a look of guilt on his face.
Zhou Xiaoya felt confused but didn't say anything. Tang Jing just deserved a beating and actually made Sister Tang Ran unhappy.
Tang Ran was silent for a while: "Get up and go out with me tonight."
Then he turned to look at Zhou Xiaoya, "Xiaoya is coming too." Zhou Xiaoya nodded, feeling a little happy.
"You guys go out for a moment. I have something to talk to Mr. Qi." Tang Ran started chasing people away as soon as the topic changed. As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Shaoyan, who was sitting motionless beside him.
"Are you okay?" Qi Shaoyan's gentle voice sounded, with a worried look in his eyes.
"Yes." Tang Ran responded dully, with uncertainty in his voice: "I would like to trouble you to come with us tonight."
"Is it because of the group of people last night?"
Tang Ran said nothing, but Qi Shaoyan understood and nodded lightly. He originally wanted to go there again.
It was night, and Tang Ran and the four of them quietly left the house. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the silent night hid unknown risks.
Qi Shaoyan walked at the front and led the way. Thick clouds blocked the remaining light, and the wind howled and slapped on the four people's faces.
"This is it." Qi Shaoyan looked at the open space in front of him and said softly.
"Is there anything here?" Zhou Xiaoya asked curiously, looking at the desolate scene in front of her.
There was no sound of crackling flames, no laughter, no devout prayers. Tang Ran actually had the absurd idea that last night's experience was a dream.
"There is a voice." A small voice came, and Tang Ran quickly reached out to hold Zhou Xiaoya and Tang Jing, and buried his head.
"What's the point of cleaning up this trace? I really don't know what the boss is thinking."
"Sweep quickly, the ceremony is about to begin." Two voices floated in the cold night wind.
"Sister Tang Ran, are we going to rob their supplies?" Zhou Xiaoya followed Tang Ran and asked uneasily, twirling her fingers.
Tang Ran turned around and gave Zhou Xiaoya a strange look when he heard this. He didn't say anything and just followed the two people in front of him silently.
"At least we climbed a mountain." Qi Shaoyan lowered his voice and raised his eyes to look at the looming fire ahead.
The same scene as last night appeared in front of Tang Ran again. The only difference was that there was a high shelf standing in front of the fire, and the skinny girl's head was hanging weakly, hanging strangely on her chest.
"It's Dani." Tang Ran said with certainty, staring straight ahead.
Tang Jing looked at the scene in front of him, questions flashing through his mind. Who is Dani? Are we here to save her? But looking at Tang Ran's downcast expression, he finally chose not to speak.
"Kneel down." Sun Yong shouted and took the lead in kneeling down to Dani. The people behind him immediately knelt down and kowtowed after Sun Yong.
Sun Yong knelt down three times with a pious look on his face and recited a string of obscure words in his mouth. The people behind him were full of fanaticism and stared at Dani with burning eyes.
"Please enjoy the night god." Sun Yong stood up after saying that, and two men with knives stood out behind him and walked towards Dani.
"Sister." "Sister Tang Ran." Tang Jing and Zhou Xiaoya both looked at Tang Ran nervously.
Tang Ran's heart was filled with turmoil, and there was a low pressure all over his body, which made Qi Shaoyan even look sideways.
Sun Yong and others put Dani on the ground, and the knife raised high seemed to be cutting Tang Ran's heart.
"Stop!" shouted angrily. The young man holding the knife watched helplessly as the light blue water arrow struck from a distance and sank into his body. He blinked in confusion, opened his mouth and fell to the ground.
"Youngest!" Sun Yong was shocked and angry, his eyes seemed to be condensed into arrows, he fired in a circle and yelled: "Who is sneaking around, come out."
Tang Ran stood up from behind the stone, his eyes were heavy, and a bloodthirsty smile flashed at the corner of his mouth: "What are you doing? Cannibalism?"
As soon as Tang Ran said these words, Tang Jing and Zhou Xiaoya behind them were startled. Then they looked up and saw the pot on the fire and Dani who didn't know whether she was alive or dead beside them. A slight chill crawled up their backs.
"Nonsense." The flesh on Sun Yong's face trembled. He could no longer see the piety of kneeling and worshiping. He looked across the four of them with a sinister look: "We were offering sacrifices to the Night God. You broke in privately and killed the old man." Yao, you deserve to be damned for ruining the ritual of worshiping gods."
After saying that, several vines suddenly appeared on the ground, wrapping around the ankles of Tang Ran and his group, gradually moving up their calves.
"Kill them!" Sun Yong gave the order, and several people behind him attacked Tang Ran and the others.
"Fire." Tang Jing yelled, and flames slowly gathered under his feet. The rattan felt the scorching heat and hurriedly stepped back.
A circle of flames overflowed, and several people were overturned by the heat wave, but they were swallowed up by the sudden water dragon.
Zhou Xiaoya broke the restraint, shouted angrily, and punched the water superpower away like lightning.
The punch came, Zhou Xiaoya turned around to catch it, but was dodged by a sweeping kick.
Several figures attacked Tang Ran and Qi Shaoyan. Tang Ran held the Water Bloom Bow in his hand and shot out condensed water arrows. Qi Shaoyan just stood there and raised his eyes slightly: "God said there will be thunder."
