Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 268 The Upcoming Sacrifice

"Jianghu? Do you mean Central Plains? We don't go there very often."

Jiashan smiled and said, "But when we do business with them, the requirement is that we are not allowed to mention Nanzi."

Even if I tell it, it won't be a big problem. How can one enter Qieyue Village casually?

He had never been out of Nanzi before, so he asked her what she was like outside, "Is the Jianghu fun? I heard it's all about fighting and killing. You people in the Central Plains are much more aggressive than us."

Lou Xiao thought of the various heads hanging on the tower, "Don't you guys in Qieyue Village also love fighting and killing?"

Mo Jingchun was the prisoner brought back after the fighting between Qieyue Village and other villages.

In this world, population is the most important factor. As long as the child is young, no matter where he belonged in the past, he can only be a member of Qieyue Village when he grows up.

Jiashan also knew what she meant, '"It's different. We are here to survive, and you are just having fun."

Lou Xiao was about to retort, but she felt that the group of children practicing martial arts had reached their break time.

The round-faced little girl ran over, looked at her curiously at first, then threw herself into Jiashan's arms, asking him to wipe the sweat off her face.

At the same time, the children who followed her one after another looked at her from a distance, pretending not to care, but in fact, they could hardly suppress their curiosity.

Finally, someone brave enough came up to her and asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm a new guest, Zhao Xiaolou. Hello."

Lou Xiao smiled and greeted the little child moving around in front of her.

Seeing her good attitude, several children chattered with each other.

"Guest? Are you coming to participate in our sacrifice?"

"Of course! Sacrifices are so much fun!"

"My mother and uncle have already prepared several dishes! What have you prepared? We will set up a long table, will you sit with me?"

They communicated with each other in Chinese and the local language. Seeing that Lou Xiao didn't understand, he repeated what he said.

It turned out that they were all looking forward to the feast after the sacrifice. The group of children only knew that it was the busiest time of the year in Qieyue Village, and they couldn't wait even before the day arrived.

She had just found out about this, and Lou Xiao looked at the young man beside her in confusion, wanting to know what day it was.

The little girl was still in Jiashan's arms, staring at Lou Xiao without saying a word. No matter how Jiashan coaxed her, she refused to say hello to Lou Xiao.

Helpless Jiashan had to speak up himself, "You came at the right time. Our village's annual sacrifice is coming soon, and everyone is making preparations."

"Who are we offering sacrifices to? Will everyone from Qieyue Village show up?"

Since it’s a big festival, no one should be absent, right?

Lou Xiao didn't want to wait for the free Gu Master that the elder mentioned to come and show her, she wanted to find an opportunity herself.

"Yes, the village chief and the high priest will show up, especially the high priestess, who is said to be over a hundred years old."

Jiashan became excited as he spoke, "I heard that she is going to select a few disciples this time. I hope my brother can be chosen."

The old high priest——

Then you must be very familiar with poison.

Lou Xiao made up her mind and felt much more relaxed. Facing the children who were focusing their attention on her again,

I had a lot of fun answering their various strange questions.

Jiashan looked at her profile from the side, and saw a gentleness in her that was rare among the women in the village.

Does she like Qieyue Village? Can she stay?

It was not until the evening that the satisfied children went home one after another, and Lou Xiao walked back.

Along the way, we saw more villagers from Qieyue Village. They greeted and talked to each other in their own language. The streets, which were originally empty, were now filled with voices.

Everyone is back.

Lou Xiao once again attracted the attention of many people. Compared with the older people, the young people who returned from outside were quite nice to her.

There are few outsiders in Qieyue Village, and those who can come in have obtained permission, so naturally no one will make things difficult for her.

They greeted her curiously, speaking Chinese with an accent, and some simply put fruit in her arms, waved their hands, and left.

Apparently, like those other children, she thought she was a guest invited to the sacrifice.

Lou Xiao couldn't refuse, so she went back to her residence to eat some fruit.

Soon I heard people outside shouting and singing loudly, both men and women, it was very noisy.

Lou Xiao opened the door and leaned her elbows on the railing to look down. A group of boys and girls about her age were sitting in the open space downstairs.

Some people were clapping their hands to the beat, while others were singing along without any rules, occasionally taking a sip of the wine at hand, making noises and playing around, as if they were about to get drunk.

She took a bite of the melon in her hand, wondering whether to stop it.

Before they could make a decision, they saw her leaning against the railing and shouted to her from below, "Sister! Come down and play!"

Lou Xiao is unmoved, who is she calling sister?

After they had finished eating the melon in their hands, Lou Xiao saw that they were still persevering, so she clapped her hands, propped up the railing with one hand, and jumped from the fourth floor.

It scared the young men and women below.

The person who chased after her stopped in front of her when she landed safely. He breathed a sigh of relief and then began to praise her.

"Amazing! Where did you learn martial arts? You jumped down from the fourth floor like it was flat ground!"

They didn't really want to know, they just knew she was from the Central Plains by looking at her unfamiliar face.

They pulled her to sit among the crowd, handed her a bowl of turbid wine, and asked her to join in their joy.

Lou Xiao was infected by their happiness. Although she didn't sing along with them, she drank a lot of wine.

She couldn't remember how it ended. When Lou Xiao woke up from the room, it was already late at night. Besides her, there was another man lying on the small bed.

He fell asleep with his face flushed and snoring regularly.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Lou Xiao got off the bed and sat at the table. He poured himself a glass of cold water and woke up completely.

She shouldn't drink.

The word out of control, in what she did to Xiao Zhengdu before, her mind was clear, organized, and reasonable,

She just seemed to be hidden deep inside her body, allowing another her to control her body and try to kill, but was eventually pulled back by reason.

Every thought seemed to follow her own wishes, and Lou Xiao never doubted that it was she who did it.

But drinking is different.

Even when Lou Xiao lost control, she still had memories, but after drinking too much, her brain was as clean as if it had been washed.

She couldn't understand why she was sleeping in bed with a strange man.

Fortunately, Nanzi didn't care about these things, and no one would come crying and shouting at her to marry the other person.

Suddenly there were several knocks on the door and someone asked,

"Lady Zhao! Is Le Yuan awake?"

Lou Xiao glanced at the man sleeping soundly on the bed and replied, "He's still asleep."
