105. On the sedan chair(1/2)
The two players who were taken away never appeared again.
The rest of the people felt that something was wrong, and they remained silent. Driven by hunger, they also drank the gruel that they had despised before.
However, Xia Yi still didn't touch it. Little Maoqiu stole steamed buns and rice for him every day. These were cleaner than gruel to satisfy his hunger.
He didn't give it to other players, firstly because he didn't want to cause trouble, secondly because he didn't have any friendship with them, and thirdly because the gruel was not drinkable, so it was to help the poor rather than help the poor.
Three days passed like this, and one foggy morning, the door of the house opened again.
A middle-aged man with a cane walked in, and the players woke up one after another and shrank into the innermost corner.
Xia Yi originally wanted to stand in the front, but because of the poor location, he was squeezed to the back.
A middle-aged man stood under the window, with ten villagers guarding him on his left and right.
He said: "You choose three people."
"What did you choose?" asked a bold player.
The middle-aged man looked serious and did not answer the question. He looked out the window and said, "You have two seconds to breathe."
Among the eight players, five people pointed at others, and one of these five people was Xia Yi.
The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Xia Yi, and Xia Yi was referring to himself.
"I'll do it." Xia Yi pushed aside everyone and came to the middle-aged man.
He was so excited that he finally got the chance to die!
"Have courage!" The middle-aged man's voice was strong, "I like men like you."
He said to the villagers next to him: "Remember, arrange for him to be sacrificed in the last wave."
"???"
The middle-aged man tapped his cane, and three villagers came over and caught three players. All three players pointed at others.
The middle-aged men only said they would choose someone, but they didn't say they would arrest the person they selected.
His purpose is to fish out people with bad morals.
They moved very quickly, and by the time Xia Yi reacted, the door had already been closed.
Why!
Xia Yi covered his head.
He obviously wanted to die early, but why did he end up being the last to die!
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have stood up!
Xia Yi huddled in the corner, very autistic.
The players had a heated discussion.
Except for Xia Yi, four people pointed at others, and the villagers took away three of them. There was also a fat man who escaped. But needless to say, there were just enough people this time, and he would definitely be the first to attack in the next wave.
The fat man looked panicked, and the remaining three players looked at him with deserved looks.
At the same time, when they looked at Xia Yi, they all admired him very much.
A woman walked up to Xia Yi and asked, "How did you find out that that person was testing us?"
No, I didn't notice that at all!
Under the curious gazes of the four people around him, Xia Yi muttered: "Pay attention and observe."
The four of them nodded, as if they had some understanding.
After this time, there was another three days of silence.
On the night of the third day, no one could sleep for fear that they would be taken away by the villagers if they didn't wake up in the morning.
"What the hell kind of game is this!" Fatty complained anxiously.
Xia Yi also wanted to know what the hell kind of game this was and why every time he tried to do something, he would never succeed.
But this time, he has already thought of a way to join the sacrifice team!
He waited for the sun to rise.
Outside the door, two villagers were guarding the door, and the sound of their conversation spread into the house.
"Tomorrow is the day to send sacrifices again. I don't know if it will be useful."
"It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, the people he sent are not from our village anyway."
"But the girls in it are all very pretty! What a waste! Especially the one with a round face, she is as pretty as any princess in the city!"
"What's the use of looking good? Can that thing below you be used as food? If you can't even eat it, why do you care what it does!"
The two villagers fell silent and sighed together after a moment.
"What are the taxes this year?"
"Fifty percent."
"Isn't that less than last year?"
"Don't worry, those officers and soldiers are still greedy!"
"Then what will we do in winter!"
"What can we do? Find a way to hide the food."
"I heard that there was a village that hid so many people that the officers and soldiers saw something was wrong and killed them all!"
"What do you think we can do!"
"I mean--"
Boom——
Cocoa——
After two sounds, there was no movement outside.
what's the situation?
Xia Yi looked at the door doubtfully.
"it's me."
There was a voice at the door, it was Xiao Lijun.
"You are actually alive!" Everyone was overjoyed.
Xiao Lijun untied his chains, and everyone took the opportunity to ask him about his situation.
"The villagers carried us into the mountain and threw us into a cave. The ropes were tied tightly and we couldn't escape for a while. In the evening, a huge white snake returned to the cave. The snake's head was bigger than mine.
They are all big!"
Everyone held their breath, frightened by the giant snake.
"I immediately turned over and pulled Miss Ma to hide in the crack of the rocks." Xiao Jun untied one of the iron chains, and there was still one chain left.
Miss Ma was the chosen sacrifice together with Xiao Lijun.
He continued: "The snake didn't notice us. In the morning, the snake went out to hunt. I also untied the rope and escaped with Miss Ma."
"Where's Miss Ma? Why did you come back now?" someone asked.
Xiao Lijun paused: "There is a tiger on the mountain, and Miss Ma ran too slowly. I walked around the mountain for several days before I found the way back."
Wow——
The chain fell to the ground, and Xiao Lijun opened the door: "Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of gongs beating, and the villagers discovered them!
Other players rushed outside first, but Xia Yi was the only one watching the movements around him. He saw a figure on the high platform next to him, bending a bow and setting an arrow.
When he looked at the little fur ball, the little fur ball understood what he meant, got into the shadow under Xiao Lijun, and pulled Xiao Lijun's ankle.
Xiao Lijun fell down with a thud, and an arrow flew past his head and was nailed to the house.
"Don't move!" the middle-aged man's voice sounded, and he was the one who shot the arrow.
After a while, dozens of villagers armed with weapons arrived and surrounded Xia Yi and others.
As the culprit, Xiao Lijun asked two villagers to break their legs with hoes.
A middle-aged man arrived with a bow and arrow. He checked the condition of the two guards. The two villagers were just unconscious.
"Take it back." He ordered.
The villagers took action and locked Xia Yi and others back in the house.
After they left, Xia Yi came to Xiao Lijun in the dark and asked, "How should we deal with it?"
Xia Yi asked what to do with his broken leg.
Xiao Lijun waved his hand: "If you can't handle it, just leave it alone. They will definitely choose me to go to the snake cave tomorrow, and they will all die anyway."
