Diao Chan nodded, acquiescing.
Among Yu Yi's three wives, Diao Chan is undoubtedly Yu Yi's favorite woman. Yu Yi also spends a lot of time with Diao Chan. He has been looking forward to Diao Chan giving birth to a boy and a half girl, but there has been no movement. For a while, Yu Yi even thought about whether it was his own problem and was ready to see the doctor. Unexpectedly, it would be like this. On the one hand, Yu Yi felt sad for Diao Chan's tragedy, and on the other hand, he was also very sorry.
Yu Yi silently held Diao Chan in his arms, gently wiped her tears with her sleeves, and comforted her: "Let those unhappy things go. It doesn't matter if you can't have children. My heart for you will not change."
Diao Chan was very happy after hearing this. You must know that in that era, women who could not have children would be regarded as aliens. Unexpectedly, Yu Yi accepted her.
At this time, a little fish belly white appeared in the east, and the light on the horizon became bigger and bigger.
Yu Yi quickly seized the opportunity, took Diao Chan's hand, came to a relatively open place, pointed to the east, and said: "Be sure to watch carefully, watch my methods!"
After saying that, Yuyi straightened his hand and placed it in front of the two of them. Then he pretended to be exhausted and moved up bit by bit. As Yuyi's arm moved, the light on the horizontal line became bigger and bigger. The hidden ball of light seemed to be slowly coming out.
Diao Chan had never seen a sunrise before and was frightened by this scene.
When the sun rose completely, Yu Yi stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, even if it is the sun, I will find a way to help you move out!"
Diao Chan was moved after hearing this. She held Yu Yi's face and kissed her gently.
After daybreak, the two began to continue their journey. With the previous experience, Diao Chan was not so afraid. When encountering some threatening beasts, Diao Chan even took the initiative to take action.
Yu Yi observed Diao Chan's progress and felt very happy. Slowly, a plan gradually came into his mind.
The two were originally from the same teacher, and their inner strength was similar. Although the horses were eaten by wild beasts, they still walked very fast. By the evening of the third day, they finally arrived at another city at the foot of the Taihang Mountains - Huguan.
The last time I went there, Huguan was a very ordinary village. This time when Yu Yi stepped into the territory of Huguan, he clearly felt that there had been great changes here.
One is that the population has increased. Previously there were not many houses on both sides of the road, and there was not much space around it. Now not only are there houses on both sides of the road, but the surrounding area is also occupied by houses. In terms of public security management, there used to be no officers and soldiers in this place. The people are self-governing, and now there are officers and soldiers patrolling the road from time to time. Yu Yi also heard that a government office has been established.
Considering that there were many Cao Cao's eyes and ears in Huguan, Yu Yibian bought a hat and a cloak from the common people, armed himself and Diao Chan respectively, and walked on the street.
After all, Huguan is a very closed place, and the appearance of Yuyi and Diaochan is somewhat incompatible with the local customs, so the return rate is relatively high.
The two of them walked towards the inn, planning to find a place to stay, replenish some dry food, buy a horse, and then go to Shangdang to meet Zhang Yang.
I don't know why a lot of people gathered in the inn, talking about it. Yu Yi and Diao Chan listened briefly and seemed to be talking about something.
I only heard one of them preaching: "It seems that the ceremony is going to be held recently. Are you going to attend?"
Another person said: "You can't be talking about that ceremony, right? What's there to participate in!"
Diao Chan had never been out before and was curious about everything. When she heard the two chatting, she couldn't help but join in and asked, "What ceremony are you talking about? Can I go to it?"
Yu Yi saw Diao Chan getting up, but by the time he went to stop Diao Chan, it was already too late.
The man glanced at Diao Chan and found that Diao Chan looked very handsome. He smiled and said, "I see that you are an outsider, right?"
Diao Chan nodded, and at this moment Yu Yi also came over, covering half of his face with his hat, and said, "Yes, my sister and I came here to do some business in Huguan."
The man glanced at Yu Yi, nodded, and said, "You don't know something. Ever since Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and occupied the entire Hebei Province, something happened in the Taihang Mountains. It is said that a big snake from the mountain fell from the sky, right at Huguan. The junction with Taihang Mountain!”
After hearing this, Yu Yi felt curious and immediately asked: "What's going on?"
The man said: "It is said that the big snake was cultivated by the great sage Zhang Jiao when he was practicing Taoism. It has been kept at the top of the Taihang Mountains. After Yuan Shao was eliminated, the celestial phenomena around the Taihang Mountains changed. One day, bursts of thunder shocked the people. That big snake became so angry that it descended the Taihang Mountains and came to Huguan, where it killed many villagers that day."
Diao Chan looked at the man with some doubts and asked: "I see that Huguan has a large population. Did everyone know about the existence of this big snake and move it away?"
The man smiled slightly and praised: "Huguan didn't have such a large population in the past. Many people were from outside and were residents displaced by the Battle of Guandu. After the incident about the big snake, many people were ready to move away, but after On the way to move, they were all attacked and killed by a big snake, and gradually, no one dared to move!"
Yu Yi said: "Is it possible that everyone just thought of a way to be slaughtered by the big snake at will?"
The man replied: "That's not true. The big snake came to Huguan one day and told everyone the truth. It turned out that the big snake was practicing in the Taihang Mountains and was just one step away from becoming an immortal. However, there were many people in Huguan, which affected the surrounding people. Feng shui caused the gathering of dirty air, and the big snake was also affected. He was knocked down the mountain by thunder and was seriously injured. Later, someone told the big snake that he only needed to suck the essence and blood of the woman to resume his cultivation. The big snake tried it, and sure enough, He could resume his cultivation, so he asked Huguan to donate a girl to it every month."
Yu Yi understood the whole story and said: "The mountains here in Huguan are connected to the Taihang Mountains and have always produced some ore. It is indeed a good geomantic omen, but it is not right for the big snake to blame the people of Huguan for this matter!"
After hearing this, the man quickly whispered: "It's forbidden to say this. If the big snake or the officers and soldiers outside hear it, their heads will be lost."
Diao Chan pointed to the officers and soldiers patrolling outside and said, "Where are they sent from?"
He replied: "They were sent here by Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang."
Yu Yi asked: "So when will this sacrifice begin?"
He replied: "Tomorrow!"
Yu Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for informing me!" After saying that, he pulled Diao Chan and left the scene.
The two opened an upper room. After entering the room, Diao Chan asked: "Why are snakes so hard to get past us all the way!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "Because we ate two snakes!"
Diao Chan was amused by Yu Yi and said, "How about we secretly leave Huguan tonight and head towards Shangdang to see if this big snake will attack us!"
