Now, all the villagers in Moon Village are gathered beside the ring.
Everyone remained silent and looked at the young girl standing in the middle of the crowd.
The girl wore a shiny black braid and a simple red and white cloth gown. Her head was lowered so that her expression could not be seen, but she could vaguely see the tears shining in the moonlight and falling on the front of her dress.
"Ahua, don't worry," the pudgy Mai clan leader said with some embarrassment, "your grandma... the clan members will definitely help you take care of it, and in fact... it's not necessarily dangerous...
"
Xiaolan glanced at the villagers of the Mai clan.
No one shed tears for her.
No one showed any pain.
Because the girl named Ahua only had her elderly grandmother left as a relative, she became the one who could be pushed out and sacrificed.
Xiaolan looked at Lang's side again.
Ah, it's not like no one cried for that girl.
Lang Yuerong is crying.
Patriarch Langhui's right hand hugged his daughter's shoulder tightly. After feeling her trembling, he patted her shoulder gently. The heads of father and daughter rested together, and Patriarch Langhui's eyes became a little moist.
Xiaolan turned her head back and saw Jasmine and Meili also staring at the poor girl.
"When are we going to talk?" Meili's eyes were still on the girl, but the question was directed to Xiang Xiaolan.
"How about..." Xiaolan clenched her fists, "Let's do it now."
The three of them nodded together.
Jasmine took a deep breath and led the two of them to Clan Chief Langhui.
"Clan Chief Langhui, we have an idea." As soon as Jasmine's voice came out, everyone onlookers heard it.
Patriarch Langhui was stunned, "Sir Jin Xian, what do you want to say?"
Jasmine, Xiaolan and Meili had firm eyes, and the three of them opened their mouths almost at the same time, "Let's go take that boat."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers were stunned.
Even poor Ah Hua stopped crying, raised his red eyes and stared at them blankly.
"What...what do you mean..." Chief Langhui asked stutteringly.
"What we mean," Jasmine said seriously, "is to let that girl go home and take care of her grandma. This year, we will row the boat to the end of the giant moon, and we will take her place."
The villagers were all in an uproar.
On Mai's side, the girl who reacted first was the girl. She fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, wailing in pain.
The leader of the Mai clan came over in a few steps, lifted up the girl who was kneeling on the ground, and asked the three of them, "Are the three Jin Xian adults serious?"
"Sir Jin Xian," Chief Lang Hui frowned and quickly interrupted, "We don't know the danger at the end of the river. No one has ever come back from there."
Jasmine looked at the girl with tears on her face and smiled, "But we will be back."
The girl murmured, "Lord Jin Xian..."
"When we come back," Meili raised his voice, "I hope I can bring you good news, that is - there will be no more disasters in Moon Village in the future, and no one will need to sacrifice in the future."
This is good news for both the Mai family and the Lang family.
The two tribes came together for the first time.
They held their hands tightly, looked in the same direction, and had the same expectations in their hearts.
The moonlight shines on the satin-like river, like stars falling into the water.
The villagers took them to the river.
Xiaolan looked around.
It should be coming soon, right?
"Lord Jin Xian, please take care..."
"etc!"
Before Patriarch Langhui finished speaking, a loud female voice sounded from behind the crowd.
Fortunately, here we come.
Xiaolan also felt relieved.
The villagers turned back one after another, and a gap formed in the crowd, allowing the owner of the voice to step forward.
It was Lu Qianqian.
Before Lu Qianqian could catch her breath, she seemed to have run over. She walked directly to Xiaolan and pretended to ask loudly, "What are you doing?"
"Huh..." Meili's eyes lit up and he pointed at Lu Qianqian, "You are Jin Xian from the Mai clan!"
Lu Qianqian nodded, "Is your injury healed?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine..."
"So what are you going to do?"
"We...we are going to go to the end of the river instead of that girl," Merry whispered, "we are going to investigate the whole thing."
Xiaolan nodded in her mind, yes, just as planned, it would be best if Meili said this, as it didn't seem so deliberate.
So Lu Qianqian waved his hand and said, "Add me."
"Ah? This..." Meili looked at Xiaolan and Jasmine standing on both sides of her, "Is this okay? Is this..."
Jasmine shrugged, "I don't care."
Xiaolan shrugged, "I don't have any objection either."
The only person who had an objection might be the boat, but the boat was big enough. In the end, the four people boarded the boat without any suspicion from the villagers. Jasmine and Lu Qianqian held the wooden oars on both sides, and the boat floated leisurely along the river.
Move down.
The villagers followed the boat to see them off.
"By the way, Lord Jin Xian!" the Mai clan leader thought of something and raised his hands like a trumpet and shouted, "Where are the other two Lord Jin Xian?"
When Lu Qianqian asked her guilty question, he first increased the intensity of paddling, and then pretended to be indifferent and said, "How do I know where they went? I didn't see them, so I went to the toilet.
, I don’t know anything.”
Slowly, the speed of the boat gradually became faster.
The villagers' farewell road was blocked by a thick bush of reeds. Everyone waved their hands high and offered their last blessings to Jin Xian.
With her small body, Lang Yuerong squeezed her way to the front of the crowd.
"Lord Jin Xian!—Lord Jin Xian!—" she shouted crisply.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful little tune sang.
Lang Yuerong sang a ditty in the Moon Village dialect that they did not understand. The ditty was accompanied by the moonlight and followed them gradually away with the flowing water.
The four people on the boat looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Your name is Lu Qianqian?" Meili asked, sitting next to Lu Qianqian who was rowing the boat.
"Um."
Meili grinned, "Did you imprison those two men?"
Xiaolan and Jasmine's backs stiffened.
"I feel like you already know each other," Merry pointed to them. "No need to hide it from me. I can see that you already knew each other when I was unconscious, right?"
Fortunately, Meri just used her observation skills to make a little guess.
So Xiaolan could only make up a story, "Wow, I really can't hide anything from Meili... Here's the thing, when you were beaten by them, it was Lu Qianqian who stopped their actions. Do you remember this?
Right? Right, after that she sent you back to our tent, and then we talked about Moon Village. Unexpectedly, we both had this idea, and we hit it off right away. The reason why I didn’t tell you... was mainly because I was afraid of your heart.
Uncomfortable, after all you were bullied by those two Jin Xians of the Mai family..."
Before he finished speaking, Meili smiled heartily and said, "How could I feel uncomfortable? Hahaha, let's set off together. I feel more secure. No matter what is at the end of the river, I'm not afraid..."
"Speaking of which, what do you think is at the end of the river?" Jasmine asked as she paddled.
Xiaolan and Meili Zheng were making wild guesses here and there. Lu Qianqian, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted them.
