Chapter 894: Turn the Tables
Yan Kuan wanted to go to the temple to take a look, so he told Ah Cai to bring Ah Tawa back as soon as possible. However, Yan Kuan had changed his mind on the matter of escaping. Ah Cai was shocked. Could this work?
However, looking at Yan Kuan’s determined eyes, Ah Cai knew that this matter might really work. He nodded hard and disappeared into the surrounding fire with Ah Tawa on his back.
After Yan Kuan saw Ah Cai leave, he immediately returned to the house that Ah Tawa had stayed in and set another big fire before turning around to leave.
In the village, a fire was known as the descent of heavenly thunder. Moreover, because this village was built over a thousand years ago, there were bamboo houses everywhere. This was the fire that they were most afraid of, so every time there was a big fire, the entire village would be mobilized.
This time, it was the sacred land of the elders and clan leaders behind the statue that was on fire, so this Buda became even more nervous.
Buda’s d*ck was in a lot of pain, but it wasn’t the time for him to faint. Seeing the fire, he could only ask the four elders to drag Lan Guwa out. As for Ah Tawa, who was already gone… he had already guessed that it was most likely what Ah Gen and the others were talking about.
However, when Buda brought the elders and ran out, he heard a heart-wrenching cry from the crowd that was putting out the fire:
“My Ah Tawa, My Ah Tawa is still inside. Let me in, let me go in and save my daughter. Look, the fire is burning so brightly! My Ah Tawa, poor Ah Tawa.”
Buda’s eyes twitched. Everyone had heard Ah Gen’s voice, and many of his clansmen had already begun to comfort him. Buda was extremely surprised. Could it be that it was not Ah Gen and the others who had made the move? If it was them, they would not even have time to hide. Why would they take the initiative to come here and make trouble?
Buda and the four elders looked at each other. They did not dare to let go of Lan Guwa. This girl had already fainted. Moreover, there was a piece of cloth in her mouth. They could not let everyone know what baptism she had gone through.
Although this baptism was necessary in Buda’s eyes, to the clansmen who had always been extremely feudal, even if they treated the matters of the clan leader and elders as if they were G.o.ds, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not feel uncomfortable.
Ah Cai pulled Ah Gen. the moment they saw the patriarch and the elders coming out, Ah Cai reacted the fastest and immediately ran over with Ah Gen. when Ah Gen came over, he was reminded many times by Shen Xiaoxiao, so he knew what to do, if he was afraid or could not continue acting, then he would cry. Ah Cai would do the rest.
At this moment, Ah Gen’s body was not agile, and he had cried all the way. Of course, he was crying for real. It was because he was really scared after Ah Cai described what happened to Lan Guwa.
Therefore, Ah Gen looked extremely haggard at this moment.
Ah Cai was naturally the spokesperson at this moment. The moment he saw the clan leader, he immediately knelt down and asked the clan leader,”Clan Leader, how is Ah Tawa? Why, why did you only save Lan Guwa? Where is Ah Tawa?”
The clan leader looked at Ah Cai and thought a lot. If Ah Cai and the others were so smart to deliberately save someone and still come to denounce him, he did not think that they had the intelligence to think of such a countermeasure.
In the entire village, everyone was extremely naïve. If someone with such a scheme was the village leader, how would it be his turn?
Therefore, because of the two people kneeling and crying, Buda really dispelled his suspicions. Could it be that this Ah Tawa ran away on her own? It wasn’t impossible, but would anyone believe it now? Lan Guwa’s room was next to Ah Tawa’s. There was no reason to only save Lan Guwa and not Ah Tawa. It would be difficult to deal with this next time.
However, Buda had been the chief for more than ten years, and he could be considered a rare intelligent man in this village. So, Buda only weighed it for a moment before immediately saying,
“Ah Gen, Ah Tawa… Sigh, she has already been buried in the sea of fire.”
“What? How? How could this be?”
Ah Cai was also extremely shocked at this moment. It was just as An An’s mother had said, these people would really admit that Ah Tawa had been burned to death. They, they really, really didn’t know what to say.
Ah Cai pulled Ah Gen, and Ah Gen immediately pretended to faint. He immediately showed a helpless look, worried about Ah Cai, and his eyes were infatuated with the fire in the distance. He yelled,”Ah Tawa…”
When all the clansmen saw this scene, they felt a little uncomfortable. After all, it was all the people of the village. Other than the priests, there was really no one who had died an unnatural death. However, there were some who had not been burned to death, but this was the first person who had been burned to death.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone was very unhappy and very uncomfortable.
Everyone lasted for a whole night before it was extinguished. The rented houses that used to be used for office use had been burned completely. All the clansmen seemed exhausted after a night of putting out the fire.
But this was not the end.
Because today’s sacrificial ceremony would be held at noon, and there was even the most crucial sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, the saintess of sacrifice, Ah Tawa, had already been burned to death by the fire, so they could only choose one more to come out.
Therefore, as the fire was extinguished, everyone’s heart was once again in their throats.
Because Ah Gen was unconscious, and because the saintess of sacrifice had been burned to death, the clansmen had given him special permission to not partic.i.p.ate in the noon sacrificial ceremony. However, Ah Cai had to partic.i.p.ate. But as long as he saved Ah Tawa, even if the clansmen said that she had already been burned to death… it was still better than being abused by those animals.
After Ah Cai settled Ah Gen, he locked the wooden door outside and immediately headed to the square. An An’s father hadn’t returned yet, so he still had to keep an eye out for him.
Ah Tawa had already knelt down and thanked Shen Xiaoxiao profusely. However, it was only once per person. Shen Xiaoxiao felt that this was very fair, so she didn’t think it was a big deal.
Moreover, this was also considered an emergency period. They did not dare to stay up there for too long. Ah Tawa was already injured, so Shen Xiaoxiao and Ah Cai sent Ah Tawa to the hidden compartment below and made a temporary bed to rest.
As for Ah Gen, he finally let out a sigh of relief and sent her down to rest well.
At this end, Yan Kuan entered the bottom of the Temple of the G.o.ds. It was indeed a different world. Along the way, he could see the traces left behind by 19. It could be seen that 19 had indeed entered this place. In that case… Then his guess was definitely not wrong.
The so-called sacrificial ritual had probably already begun. He slowly walked into the underground world that had a different world.
The searchlight above his head could still illuminate the surrounding area quite brightly. This was because when he had come earlier, he had already made his precious son, Little Treasure, pee in a big pot. His entire body could be said to be filled with Little Treasure’s unique urine stench. This could also be considered as a form of protection. One had to know that the more one entered such a strange place, the more important it was to preserve one’s strength and stamina.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, one should not easily make a move. This way, the chances of surviving would be much greater…
