My dad's lieutenant seems to be a time traveler

thirty,

When we went back to the village, almost all the villagers had already got up to wash their hands, held fires and candles, called for friends, and walked out of the house.

They lit many pine torches, and all the children, young and old, dressed up, put on colorful clothes, and wore wooden masks, and went to the field singing and dancing.Xiaoxiang Village seemed to be celebrating a festival, but after a while, it was already decorated with lanterns and festoons, with singing and dancing.

Some little boys with long hair, red flowers tied on their heads, five-color silk threads wrapped around their hands and feet, holding toys made of clam shells, snail shells and big fish bones, cheering and running back and forth on the ridge of the field, as if they were tireless. of.

Zhang Wensheng led me to avoid them, sneaked into the village, found a random house over the wall and entered, stole a few clean clothes from the box to change into, and took off the extra mask on the wall of the house. What the hell is it? In short, I put it on my face without saying a word, and when I get out, I start singing and dancing along with waving my hands and stamping my feet.

These masks are probably primitive, and they all look similar, with some fish, shrimp, crab shells vaguely painted, and forest beasts, basically no human faces or ghost faces.

I saw Zhang Wensheng wearing white clothes, five-color thread wrapped around his hands and feet, and the wooden mask on his face with thorns and thick fish lips.After watching it a few times, he found out and slapped me on the heart: What are you looking at, I'm going to reveal my secrets!Let's take a look at Lao Cao first.

"Cao Yu" is still in Jing's mother's house.

He is very stable, after changing clothes with me, he thought he was the son-in-law of the Zhao family, but he got on the kang with his legs crossed, and started eating melon seeds and peeling peanuts.

We spent a lot of effort, dancing, climbing over the wall, and when we finally returned to the house and saw him, this man was already dressed in brocade, with golden flowers on his temples, and on the small kang table in front of him were peanut shells and melon seeds. The skins have been piled up into two neat hills, like a royal house like a Taihang blocking his face.

I lifted the mask, jumped on him and dragged him, shouting: You still eat!

The action was too violent, Wang Wu and Taihang were overthrown, his Lao Cao was still a little unhappy, why did you come back?Do you want to go back on your word?

I said: Who repented!On our way out, we heard that this place is a man-eating devil's lair, so I came here to save you!

"Cao Yu" looked at me jumping violently in anxiety, but still remained motionless, with a look of foolishness on his face.He was really motionless until he saw Zhang Wensheng, who followed me in, take off the strange fish mask, and then suddenly jumped off the kang.

what happened?he asks.

Zhang Wensheng pointed at me: That’s what he said. The village here tricked foreigners into making live animal sacrifices. I heard it was to worship the water god. It might be Dongting Lord, or it might be an earlier god, such as Gonggong.He said he would marry his daughter to you, and lied to you to eat and drink enough to spend the night here, but in fact, he threw you into the water to feed the fish at dawn.

"Cao Yu" said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly."

As he spoke, he took another handful of peanuts from the table and stuffed them in his pocket, beckoning us to go with him.

When I first learned about the human sacrifice, I was so frightened that I trembled all over. At this moment, seeing "Cao Yu" looking normal, without any abnormalities, I was also very surprised. I wondered if this was a person, and why he was not afraid at all ?

He walked to the door, took off the golden flower on his head, took a bite, and said to me: "It's real gold, we'll take this away too."

I couldn't help it: why are you not afraid?If we don't come back now, you will be tied up and fed to the fish later.

"Cao Yu" said: "Little brother, have you ever seen people cannibalize?"

I said: ah?

"Cao Yu" said again: I have seen it.Hungry means that I am hungry, but I am still picky. I don’t eat everywhere. The head, hands and feet, the meat is not too much and difficult to chew, so I chop it off and throw it away.After a great battle, everyone who could die died, and those who lived became starved to death all over the mountains and plains.Everyone started looking for something to eat... After gnawing and escaping, all that was left in the ditch were heads, hands and feet.

I couldn't help retching a few times and covered my mouth in a hurry.Zhang Wensheng caught up and grabbed my shoulders, glaring at "Cao Yu" angrily and said: "What do you say and do with him has nothing to do with what happened tonight!"

"Cao Yu" said: Since I have seen it, I know that people can do anything for themselves.

He came over, peeled a peanut and handed it to me as he walked.I didn't dare to take it, he just stuffed it in his mouth and ate it himself.

You can't keep protecting him, he said to Zhang Wensheng, he can't be like this forever.If people don't go bad, they will be bullied.

It didn't take much effort to take "Cao Yu" away. He changed the clothes we brought, put on a mask, and danced out of the yard more joyfully than others, so there was no need to worry about him being exposed.It was only after we got him out that in a few minutes at most, dancing young men and women poured into the small courtyard.

They immediately discovered that I, the one designated by the Zhao family's sister, had disappeared.

There was a lot of voices, and they were all trying to blame each other.

We stood among them, the crowd was surging, and we had to go along with them. If we went in the opposite direction at this time, we would definitely be caught.

The three of us, wearing masks, thought nothing more than, in case someone wants to nod their heads, or ask everyone to take off their masks, how should we fight out?

I used to have a pistol, although it looked like a fake one, but it was brought down from the Nimbus, and it was the only thing I knew how to operate.Only then did I think of it. After wandering for several times, it didn't know where it went.

If I had a gun in my hand right now...

Just as I was thinking, Zhang Wensheng squeezed my palm, and suddenly stuffed a hard thing into my hand.

I turned my head to look at him, and still saw the face of a strange fish.

Zhang Wensheng said: "I lost it several times in your place, but I kept it for you."

I said: only one, what do you do?

You can hear him laughing through the mask.Zhang Wensheng smiled and said: The gun is in your hand, you protect us.

Just at this time, I heard a crisp sound. It turned out that it was Ah Wen who entered the house. He knocked down the companion who was in charge of guarding the yard with a punch, and even broke his wooden mask. sound.

The man fell to the ground, still defending himself, saying that he did not see anyone entering or leaving the yard.

I muttered in my heart, we have been in and out several times... It can be seen that this village is not a den of thieves, and these villagers are not well-trained.They just have some stereotypes and bad habits. They have nothing to eat right now, and they don't know how their sacrifice will end?

Awen said: "The auspicious time is approaching, and only one of the four people ran away. What else can we choose?"This is also Brother Zhao's fate, he has already left, no one forced him, but he still wants to come back.He obviously brought three substitutes, but all three were very flexible, and they left without any news or lust.Since this is his fate, and it is the decree of the water god, everyone get ready and carry Big Brother Zhao on the road.

After he finished speaking, a figure rushed out of the crowd and jumped at his feet.The person was wearing a mask, and I didn't know who it was at first glance, but the moment she knelt down, I saw a pair of red shoes.

It's Jing Niang...

Zhao Jingniang hugged her brother's leg and cried, "Brother!I will go, I will replace him!Don't send brother Zhao there!He is a good man!

Ah Wen said impatiently, "You are so confused, isn't that pale-faced younger brother of the Cao family a good person?"We can't use them as sacrifices to treacherous and evil people. How can the water god make wicked people serve him?It is for good people.

Jing Niang tore off the mask on her face, cried and wiped her tears, and said: I have nothing to say about others, I just can't choose him!I'd rather go down and serve the lord by myself!

Arwen said angrily: What do you mean?A-mei, are you looking for Zhao Dalang?What are you doing with him?

Jing Niang cried: I think he is not happy.He is a hero who does not covet beauty and vanity!All of you are inferior.If you kill heroes, no matter how much blessings you accumulate there, you will definitely bring disasters here!

Hearing that what she said was already a curse, Ah Wen didn't bother to pester her. He waved his hands and ordered Jing Niang to be dragged up, tied up with hemp rope, and hid in the cellar first.

Then the people in the room, wearing inhuman masks, started dancing and singing again.They lined up in a row and started to welcome the earthen house where Zhao Xuanlang was sleeping.
