Chapter 168 Night of Sacrifice
"You shoot!" Yanyu is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp. He looks indifferent. "I will die. Anyway, A Lan will come down to the ground immediately to accompany me. Let's be a ghost couple."
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't want to kill you. You leave immediately. We just want to live a stable life." Feng Junyang said, "To be honest, both of us are poisonous and insoluble. If you still have humanity, let us spend the rest of our lives quietly. I don't want to owe my life at the end of my life. However, if you insist on bothering us, I will kill you..."
"Both of you have no solution? Despicable! Fortunately, you came up with such a vicious way! Do you want to confuse Alan like this? Let her innocently go underground to accompany you?" Yan Yu said angrily, "It's you who are poisoned!" It's you who are going to die! As for Alan, she is the daughter of Miaozhai. She returned to her hometown and to my side. I won't let her die!"
"Do you have a way to save her?" Feng Junyang knew that this person must have a place, his fearless appearance in the face of danger, and the cold temperament between words made him understand that this person must have a pivotal position in Miaozhai.
"Of course there will be a way!" Yanyu shook the knife in her hand and threw the problem to Feng Junyang, "Do you want to save her or do you want her to die?"
"I naturally want her to live safely." Feng Junyang held the gun steadily, "As long as she can live, I don't regret to die. My life has experienced many hardships, full of holes, and worthless... What do you want?"
He knew in his heart that this man's request was nothing more than leaving Wu Landuo. He hesitated and let her leave him like this? Will she be happy, followed by such a man who dares not even show his true face?
However, as long as she lives, there is hope and hope. She follows herself and has no guarantee of life. She insists on staying with her side, and she is too selfish. He knew in his heart that he and Wu Landuo, no matter how much they vowed, were deeply affectionate, but in essence, the relationship between the two was not enough to entrust life and death. Everything is just their imagination or self-comfort when they are in a desperate situation in life. A burst of sadness surged in his heart, and he was sober for his cruelty.
"My request is very simple - I'm afraid you've already thought of it. That is, you leave her, leave Miaozhai, never come to this place, and never let her see you again. Can you do it?"
"Can." He replied, will the dying people still have a chance to come to this place?
"I promise you." He added, "But I have a request, and you have to promise me."
Yanyu was impatient, but he put away his knife and asked, "What do you have?"
"I want to see your true face." He said seriously that although Yanyu put away his knife, his gun was still pointed at Yanyu, "That's how I can rest assured."
Yan Yu was stunned and hesitated. Feng Junyang saw his hesitation and wondered who this person was. He looked at the eyes in the golden masks and said, "Who the hell are you? You don't even show me your true face. How can I believe you?
"Since you agree to my request, I will tell you our story and let you go away with interest. My name is Yanyu, and Alan calls me Brother Yanyu. Both of us are from Miao Village opposite. She lives at the head of the village and I live at the end of the village. Since childhood, we grew up together, went up the mountain to mow and herd cattle together, studied together, and worked together. People in the village said that we were a natural couple. When I was a child, Wu Landuo relied on me very much and trusted me very much. When they grow up, although they don't say it, they regard each other as people who want to live for a lifetime.
Yan Yu sat relaxed on the stone opposite Feng Junyang, staring at the sleeping Wu Landuo. He recalled, "The adults of our two families don't say anything, but they all acquiesce in our relationship in their hearts. Our Miaozhai is not like you Han people. We have to come to the words of a matchmaker, the order of our parents, these are all empty things. If two young people get well, they will naturally be together. No one will feel wrong.
"So that's how it is." Feng Junyang was a little frustrated. It turned out that Wu Landuo was in Miaozhai and had a relationship. He always thought that she would be the only one like him.
Yanyu saw his loss, and his tone was full of pride and showing off. He took out a handkerchief from his body and said proudly, "The woman in our stockade will have a carry with her all the time, but when she meets her beloved, she will give it to the other party as a token. This is the handkerchief that Alan gave me. Look, it is embroidered with a peacock.
Feng Junyang saw that there was a handkerchief in his hand that was the same as himself. On a white background, embroidered with an open-screen peacock, lifelike, with the word "blue" embroidered in the lower right corner!
He did not take out the handkerchief on his body. Wu Landuo once said that this handkerchief was a thing of love and could not be abandoned or returned, but Yanyu also had the same handkerchief. He was not the only one as a treasure. But he felt even more melancholy.
"So, how did you separate?" He was extremely sad, as if he had become an unintroverted person.
Yanyu did not have the happy tone just now, and there was a faint sadness in his words. He said, "Two years ago, when the grain was sown, a sacrifice and blessing ceremony was held in the stockade, so as to ask God for a good harvest for a year. On that day, all the people in the stockade dressed up to attend, singing and dancing. Young men and girls sang against each other on the hillside. Young men tried their best to please their favorite girls. Many young people will find their favorite objects at the ceremony. Therefore, all young people look forward to the annual activities, the so-called sacrifices, which gradually become young people. The day of meeting.
"That day, there was a sea of people on the flat land in the stockade. I took my beloved guqin and wore beautiful national costumes. When I arrived at the scene, people were happy and dancing, but no one found anything strange. I looked everywhere for Alan, but I couldn't find her. At the same time, I found that there were many strangers in the stockade. They wear costumes to hide their identities, but I am familiar with people nearby, and I have never seen these new faces.
"I feel faintly uncomfortable. I went to find the patriarch, that is, Alan's father. Tell him the abnormality in the stockade, but Alan's father laughed and said that I was too narrow. He just invited friends from outside to come here to the grand event. When A Lan's father was young, he wandered outside. He didn't return to his hometown until more than 20 years ago and married a woman in his hometown. I asked him where Alan was. Unexpectedly, her father changed his kindness to me and suddenly changed his face and told me that he would never come to see Alan again. If he dated Alan again, he would expel me from Miaozhai.
"I was stunned at that time. Hasn't he always acquiesced in our relationship? At that time, I was one of the best young people in the stockade. I was pragmatic and hardworking, good at martial arts, and a good hunter. The family is also innocent. It is an authentic Miao family. With good conditions like me, I don't know how many girls in the stockade yearn to marry me. A Lan's father's words made me not happy, but I still went to the event site to find A Lan.
"I was disappointed after finding a few laps. There was no Alan at the scene, and all the girls arrived, except her. They are dancing and singing, but they are the only one without her. I was surrounded by a group of young people to dance by the bonfire, and several women threw tokens at me. I didn't pick them up, which made everyone very disappointing. In fact, they all knew that there was only one person in my heart.
"After the sacrifice, I want to go home and find a chance to come out the next day. But after the event, I heard someone on the stage shouting, "Please come out of the Blue Phoenix in Miao Village." I was excited at that time. It turned out that A Lan didn't appear until the end!"
"Blue Phoenix?" Feng Junyang interrupted puzzledly, "Is she the saint of your Miaozhai?"
"In the past, people called her this because she was beautiful and kind, and she was born with a mysterious temperament. People call her Blue Phoenix, which means that she is beautiful and temperamental, not as a saint. You know, if you become a saint, you will never marry, you will never enjoy love, and you will not be able to live a normal life of marriage and children. I was very happy at that time, because Alan told me before that her father would let her choose the right person at the right time. I think it should be that night that she will give me the token.
