Chapter 188 - Xenophobia

"Holy Mother?"

Cen Yi listened to Cen Yi's description of last night's experience, frowned and said: "Strange, I didn't see the statue you mentioned at the village chief's house. If this The sect is so deeply rooted in this village, and there is a Marian Festival today, so there shouldn't be no place for worship in the village chief's house."

"Didn't you sleep in the side room last night?" Cen Yi said, "Maybe in the utility room or elsewhere, the other two people Maybe I've seen it before."

Cen Yi said: "It shouldn't be. Why should such an important god be enshrined in such a remote place?" "

Maybe because of Feng Shui, maybe because of the requirements of the sect itself, or maybe... I don't want to be easily discovered by the outside world. ." Cen Yi said, "This Holy Breath Village is willing to receive outsiders, which shows that the level of xenophobia is average. But they are also very afraid of us staying during the Marian Festival, which shows that this sect rejects outsiders and is unwilling to preach to the outside world - who doesn't like it? An expanding sect?"

"If you want to send the child away, it must be because the cult has not escaped." Cen Yi said, "But I don't know what to do with the child on this Madonna's Day, and why the villagers didn't run away since the ceremony was so cruel."

" If the Holy Mother Queen can help Shengxi Village survive in the year of great disaster, she may also give other benefits. If there are enough benefits and human nature dictates, even if some children are sacrificed..." Cen Yi narrowed his eyes, " And you see, the old Sun family and the village chief's family have made it clear that they do not want to sacrifice their children. If the sacrifice is not his family's turn, but the favor is spread throughout the village, it is not difficult to have a distorted view of right and wrong, not to mention that this is a tradition passed down in their village ."

"Is sending away the child really effective?" Cen Yi expressed doubts, "If it is effective, then everyone sends the child away, who else can be sacrificed? Can the Virgin Mother be effective?" "

We don't know yet, the Virgin Mother Do you really want a child? Why do you want a child?" Fu Yan said calmly, "It is our goal to find out about the Virgin's Day and the Virgin Mary." "We are destined to be unable to

leave today." Cen Yi said as the thunder rolled. , "The mission requires us to help at least one NPC, which means that these reporters will definitely not settle down. They will most likely be interested in the Feast of Our Lady."

In short, these reporters will seek death.

"There is a soldier, but he may be very impulsive." Cen Yi said, "It seems that we can't completely abandon these people this time."

"What are you talking about?"

A female reporter in yellow came over and said Cen Yi did not answer directly, but pointed at her and said to Fu Yan and Cen Yi: "Xie Anna."

This meant introducing the fourth player. Xie Anna smiled: "Just call me Anna. I've heard about you and you won't cause trouble, I promise."

Fu Yan and Cen Yi nodded to Xie Anna.

It's not that I don't trust her, it's just that I know her name and want to say hello.

Xie Anna asked again: "What are you going to do now? I'm following your orders."

"I don't know yet. We'll wait and see what happens next." Cen Yi said, "These reporters will definitely commit suicide. We have to be careful."

"Understood. ." Anna said, "It seems like we can't leave today."

"Definitely, it's destined to be impossible to leave." Cen Yi said, "Let's wait for the news."

Xie Anna more or less guessed that there must be more to what they just said. , but after opening his mouth, he resisted the urge to ask.

A group of seven people just sat in the main house of the village chief's house, waiting. Some were staring at the heavy rain in a daze, some were talking in low voices, and some took out their own pens, papers and newspapers to write and draw. The village chief and his family seemed to be busy, coming in and out, and some cooked food was constantly being brought out from the kitchen and temporarily placed on the big table in the main room. The village chief also specifically said: "These are the things we will use for the festival. You must not touch them."

Of course, the reporters did not dare to touch these things. However, everyone stood up openly to watch, and soon discovered that the freshly steamed pastries looked like dolls.

Simple, a bit like a Russian matryoshka doll, with simple clothes, facial features, and hair painted with available pigments. There are five in a plate. Except for the different shades of color caused by the paint, everything else looks similar.

Because this was just a simple pastry, the reporters quickly lost interest and dispersed one after another. But when Fu Yan saw the village chief's son ordering the third plate of baby noodles, one of them fell down.

——There are words under the doll!

Before Fu Yan could see what it was, the village chief's son quickly straightened the doll, put it away, and glanced at the reporters around him. Fortunately, Fu Yan reacted quickly enough and was not discovered.

Cen Yi came over and asked in a low voice, "What were you looking at just now?"

Fu Yan replied, "There are words under the doll."

"Lucky words?"

"Not sure."

"...There are too many people here." Cen Yi Regrettably, I couldn't take advantage of this moment to check quickly, so I had to share the information I observed first, "There are only three people at the village chief's house who are busy, and I didn't see my wife."

"Already gone?"

"My sister said they didn't hear anyone coming before dawn. I went out. I haven't seen my daughter-in-law since I got up. She probably didn't go out." Cen Yi pointed to a door in the main house, "It seems to be inside."

Fu Yan glanced at the door: "She will know what happened today. What happened to Mary's Day?"

"Perhaps, but we may not have a good chance..."

A few people chatted casually, and then began to be in a daze at the back until after nine o'clock.

The rain was still falling, not as hard as it was at the beginning, but still hard enough, at least not enough for a few girls to run around in the rain for dozens of minutes. Just when the reporters were getting tired of waiting and the village chief was getting a little impatient with them, the lead reporter who went to repair the car with the driving soldier came back.

The NPCs stood up excitedly and approached them and asked, "Has the car been repaired?!"

The lead reporter shook his head: "No, it can't start the ignition. There was something he said... I forgot, he didn't have it there anyway. ."

A male reporter asked: "Can I borrow it in the village?"

The lead reporter sighed and shook his head: "There must be nothing special for cars in the village."

"What should I do?" The only female reporter who was not a player came over and said He frowned and said, "Aren't we sure to miss the ceremony today?"

"Still thinking about the ceremony? I think it's hard for us to leave here now!" The male reporter glanced at his female colleague and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

" Now the soldier is watching the car. If someone drives by, he will see if he can borrow tools." The lead reporter replied, "If not, let's see if he can get a ride. At least bring someone to City A to help him. Our newspaper office called and quickly sent another car to pick us up."

The male reporter asked: "He won't leave us alone after running away, right?"

"Our president said hello to their chief before he lent us the car. Yes, he shouldn't dare to run away like that." The lead reporter said, "But I'm a little worried, so I came back to discuss it. We'd better send someone to wait with him, so that even if someone needs a ride to City A, we can If we can send our people, the soldier can continue to guard the truck."

Fu Yan and Cen Yi looked at each other.

If two NPCs go to caboose, it's hard to say whether the team will be destroyed.

But it is also possible that when something happens in the village, the truck is the last "survival point."

Someone asked: "But how long will it take?"

"I don't know yet, I'll go first." The lead reporter said, "I'll ask the village chief for some water and dry food. I'll go and guard first. I'll come back and tell you if anything happens. "

"I think you can also ask the village chief if he has a map, or if there are other villages nearby." A male reporter suggested, "If that doesn't work, we can just wait for the rain to subside and go forward. If it doesn't happen, we can stay here again." Other villages?"

"We men don't care. I'm afraid these three women won't be able to leave." Another reporter said, "It's best to find a car to pick you up again." "

I think you are just too lazy to leave..." "

When several reporters couldn't come up with a unified opinion after talking about it, the village chief entered the main house. As soon as he saw the lead reporter coming back, he asked, "Are you leaving?" His

tone sounded like he wanted a few outsiders to leave right now. The leading reporter had to tell him: "The car has not been repaired yet. We are going to wait for other cars to pass by and take a ride before leaving."

The village chief was not happy after hearing this: "What if there is no car forever?"

"It won't be forever. "For cars, there is a main road outside. How many cars will pass by every day, right?" The lead reporter said, "If we can't all catch a ride, someone will go to the city and make a call to ask other cars to pick them up as soon as possible. ."

The village chief became really cold at this moment: "No, you have to leave this morning, as agreed last night." "

Isn't there nothing we can do? It's raining so hard, where can we go?" The leader The reporter said, "We are not staying in your house for free, we will still pay for it." "

You said last night that you would leave this morning, and I agreed to take you in. Now you are going back on your promise, and I have not agreed!" the village chief said in his tone. There was no room for negotiation, "I don't care if you have a car or not, you must leave before noon! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" "Why are

you so unreasonable? We also gave you money."

"We also gave you money . No, foreigners, leave quickly!"

Another reporter couldn't help but argue with the village chief. Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, the leading reporter had no choice but to step forward and try to persuade him. It took him a lot of effort to reach an agreement with the village chief.

——Regardless of whether it rains or not, reporters must leave before noon. The village chief's family can help prepare some dry food and water, but will not provide any more help. Journalists are not allowed to come back after leaving the village.

Unfortunately, the weather was not kind and the rain did not stop until noon. The reporters had no choice but to walk back to the car on the dirt road with their luggage and dry food. When passing by the village entrance, the torch from last night was gone, but the crow's body was still swaying in the wind and rain.

The female reporter looked disgusted: "It's disgusting. This village is really weird. They don't lack food and drink. Why can't they stay and rest after paying for it?" The

male reporter next to him said: "It should be to celebrate the Virgin Mary's Day." Well,

they don't have time to pay attention to us." "We don't need to pay attention to them either. Just make some food, they are busy with their business, who cares about what feudal superstition they are doing..."

The people in the front were still a little energetic and complained, and they walked to the back. All was quiet. After they finally climbed into the truck compartment, several of them were slumped in the corner and didn't want to move, and stayed in a daze for a long time.

Fu Yan and others' mental and physical strength were actually quite good, but they didn't say much at the moment. Leaving the village felt like being temporarily out of danger, more like the calm before the storm.

Sure enough, a group of reporters sat in the carriage all afternoon. Although the weather cleared up after the rain, not a single car passed by. Thinking of the unfriendly attitude of the village chief, everyone decided to deal with it in the car tonight and wait and see tomorrow. If there is still no car tomorrow afternoon, then send someone into the village to ask again to see if it is possible to rest again.

The festival should be over by then, right?

It was around eight o'clock in the evening, and a kerosene lamp was lit in the truck, but everyone was already getting ready to sleep. It's just that there may be wild beasts at night, and everyone is still discussing the order of taking turns to keep vigil.

The girl didn't have to keep vigil, she just sat next to him. Cen Yi saw that the moon seemed to be out, so she stuck her head out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the village. At this glance, she discovered something was wrong.

She stared at that place for a while, then pulled back and said, "Someone is coming!" As

soon as she said this, the discussion about the vigil was suspended. Everyone looked out and after a while, someone recognized the figure stumbling around holding a lamp.

"She's the village chief's daughter-in-law!"
