Gu Nuo’er bent over.
She carried the wolf cub in her arms again.
She pretended to be an adult and sighed. “Elder Brother Siming, I really don’t know what to do with you!”
Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming walked around the village in boredom.
The scorching sun made the child’s face turn pink.
Her big watery eyes looked around, eager to find a shady place.
At this moment, the wind blew, causing the leaves to rustle.
What followed was a faint coldness.
Gu Nuo’er stopped in her tracks and turned around.
In the distance, a courtyard that looked like an ancestral hall stood half a distance away from the village’s houses.
There was a plaque at the door and unknown patterns were drawn on the wall.
The tightly shut black door and the white walls shrouded the courtyard in a layer of mystery.
“Hmm? Where is that? The wind is so cool.”
Gu Nuo’er carried the wolf cub and walked in that direction.
The villagers who were secretly observing her could not help but be overjoyed.
There was actually no need for them to lure her. This little girl already knew how to enter the Divine Dragon Temple!
It seemed that there the Divine Dragon’s new sacrifice was settled!
…
On Wei Cang’s side, there were a few times when he wanted to stand up and leave, but he was pressed down by the village chief to sit on the stool.
The old village chief looked warm and hospitable. He poured a bowl of ginger tea for Wei Cang to try.
“This is a specialty of our village. The ginger isn’t spicy and is sweet in the mouth. The aftertaste is nice. Sir, try it.”
Wei Cang looked at the glistening yellow tea and reached out to reject it.
His aura was cold and his tone was distant and guarded. “It’s hot summer now and I’m afraid of getting heaty from drinking ginger tea, so I won’t drink it. Thank you for your kind intentions, Village Chief.”
When the old village chief heard this, he only laughed.
Wei Cang had been invited by the old village chief to talk and thought that the village chief had something important to discuss.
However, after sitting here for a long time, the old village chief was just casually chatting.
Wei Cang didn’t want to leave Gu Nuo’er for too long in case something happened.
He stood up and didn’t want to delay any longer. He cupped his hands and bade farewell.
After Wei Cang left, the villager, w.a.n.g Wu, who had led the way for Gu Nuo’er and the others, quietly entered.
The old village chief looked up. “Is it done?”
“It’s done. I’ve sent herbal tea to their guards and almost all of them have drunk it. They’ll definitely collapse in less than 7 minutes.”
w.a.n.g Wu added, “Moreover, I saw that girl enter the Divine Dragon Temple by herself just now!”
The old village chief was overjoyed. “Really? Things really were accomplished without any effort! We finally have a sacrifice for the Divine Dragon this time!”
As he spoke, he thought of something and frowned. “Unfortunately, the leader just now refused to drink the ginger tea I gave him!
“Forget it. He’s the only one awake, so he won’t be of much use. We have many people. I’ll get someone to hold him down later.
“This time, you must take good care of that girl. I guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully offer sacrifices to the Divine Dragon. Don’t let something like what happened to the previous girl occur again, with her knocking herself into a wall and dying!”
“You have to know that if the Divine Dragon doesn’t get an offering and is dissatisfied, our entire village will suffer!”
w.a.n.g Wu nodded repeatedly. “Old Village Chief, don’t worry.”
Wei Cang walked all the way up the hill.
He also clearly felt that every villager in the residences on both sides would look away when they saw him.
Wei Cang couldn’t help but frown and return to their residence.
Yuan Gu and the soldiers were drinking water.
“Yuan Gu, come with me. I have something to say.”
Only then did Yuan Gu put down the half-empty cup of herbal tea.
“Governor, what instructions do you have?”
