"What? The village chief's daughter-in-law?"

The leading reporter also poked his head out to take a look, and then said: "It's true, go down and see what's going on."

He said this, A male reporter jumped down, and Cen Yi jumped down too.

The woman seemed to be coming for this truck. When she saw people getting out of the truck, she staggered over quickly and said, "Help...Help!"

"Ah?" Everyone looked confused and looked behind her - - There was no one around - so she had to ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"They, they are going to kill me!" She finally came to the car, grabbed Cen Yi's sleeves and said, "Please, Take me away! Take me away with you!"

"But our car can't move yet, we are all trapped here." Compared to other NPC reporters, Cen Yi is of course much calmer, and he starts to talk as soon as the conversation changes. , "What happened? Who wants to kill you?"

"The people in Shengxi Village, the people in Shengxi Village... are all crazy!" The village chief's daughter-in-law looked horrified, trembling all over, "They want to take away my child! They want to sacrifice my child!"

"What?" Cen Yi frowned, "What do you mean 'sacrifice your child'? Didn't your husband and the village chief stop them?" "

My father-in-law is also crazy. Come on, he is going to bring people to arrest me! My husband came back early and told me to run away. When the ceremony is over, they will be here!" The village chief's daughter-in-law was also in a state of confusion. She poured beans out of a bamboo tube and said whatever came to her mind, " People in this village are all sick, and they actually sacrificed their own children to that Holy Mother! There are so many children from Lao Sun's family, Lao Ma's family, and my children. Isn't this crazy?! What if? If I had known this would happen, I would never marry anyone! I want to go back!" "

Oh my God, why are these people so ignorant!" The reporters frowned, "Do they actually want to sacrifice people? It's illegal, it's ridiculous!"

"What kind of evil sect is this? This is not feudal ignorance, this is a devil's cult, and it's not true, good or beautiful at all!" "

We should call the police when we get back to the city!"

The reporters were noisy. Cen Yi looked at the not too obvious pregnancy belly of the village chief's daughter-in-law, and asked: "But isn't your child not born yet? Why did they come to arrest you?" "

I don't know, I don't know !" She collapsed and said, "My husband came back and said that our child had been whipped. He would arrest me tonight and tell me to run away quickly!"

- Got...?

Fu Yan's mind started spinning quickly.

Is the Feast of Our Lady... a ceremony to "sacrifice" a child?

Fu Yan thought of those pastry dolls. Maybe the words under the dolls were the children's names. I can't see the name at a glance, so I can use it for drawing. And the chosen child on the Feast of Our Lady will be sacrificed.

Lao Sun's family has children, but they were sent away early. If the lottery draws to their family, will the children be sent back? And the child of the village elder Liu's family has not been born yet, so how could he be drawn into his family? Do unborn children also count? But the village chief's family had been discussing sending pregnant women away. If they knew that pregnant women would also be drawn, why didn't they prepare in advance?

What's even weirder is that even if others are crazy, why doesn't the village chief turn towards his own home? Did he disagree with sending his daughter-in-law away before, or did he change his attitude after the ceremony? If the pastry dolls were used for lottery, wouldn't it be easy for his family to do some tricks? Or was there something unexpected in the lottery ceremony?

Fu Yan had many questions in his mind. To complete mission one of the game, most of these questions must have accurate answers. Just looking at the behavior of the village chief's daughter-in-law, it's probably because the out-of-town daughter-in-law doesn't know the local affairs. It even sounds like she is not qualified to participate in the Marian Festival. If you want to understand the situation, you must also contact the villagers.

The village chief's daughter-in-law was still chattering, but she could no longer tell any useful information. She only talked about which village she came from and how she was proposed and given away in marriage; Cen Yi had already withdrawn from the front row to watch the fun. Circle, when they got to the car, they asked Fu Yan in a low voice: "Can you protect me?"

Fu Yan knew that he was talking about the village chief's daughter-in-law, so he narrowed his eyes: "I can't protect you."

Cen Yi nodded: "Indeed."

They couldn't go anywhere. , this is still a pregnant woman, how can I protect her? Even if all players and NPCs agree to help, there are only nine of them in total. With so many people in the village, the number is too unbalanced. Even if the soldier has two pistols, who knows if there are shotguns or country guns in the village?

Cen Yi and Xie Anna also came over. Cen Yi said: "It seems that we are going to use this woman to build a bridge with the villagers again."

Fu Yan thought for a while and said: "Something is wrong. If she runs like this, there is a high probability that someone will come. Chase. The people in the village were so xenophobic before. If they saw this woman coming to us for help, they would probably..." Before

he could finish his words, he saw lights appearing in the distance on the path in the direction of the village - the villagers The chase is coming!

The village chief's daughter-in-law obviously also discovered this, grabbing another reporter and saying: "They are coming, they are coming! Help!"

"What should I do?" The NPC female reporter in the car had already heard this and was angry. He was anxious again, then panicked, "Why don't we hide her in the car first?" "

This car doesn't even have a door, wouldn't those people know how to come in and look for it?" the leading reporter replied, and then said to the village chief's daughter-in-law. , "Run quickly, don't run on the road, go to the fields. Run as far as you can."

He was older, and he still thought more about it than the angry young people. Obviously, like Fu Yan and others, he knew not to easily deal with the villagers who were dominated by the evil sect.

The village chief's daughter-in-law was a little stunned by these people's "fear of death", but she had no time to think more. She gritted her teeth and crawled directly into the tall grass on the side of the road. The movement was obscured by the swish of the night wind blowing across the fields. Upon seeing this, the leading reporter said: "When the villagers come to ask, they will say that she ran towards the front of the car."

The reporters nodded, all looking solemn.

After a while, the chasing villagers arrived. A total of five people were chased out, all of them farmers with excellent physical strength. The one running at the front was actually the village chief. When he saw the truck and the reporters, he frowned and said, "Why haven't you left yet?" The

male reporter who was still under the car was a little nervous and replied stiffly: "The car is not good, how can we leave? You think we just want to stay here?" This?"

The village chief still had doubts, but he didn't want to dwell on this issue for the time being, and instead asked: "Where is Zhao Jinhua?"

The reporter asked back: "Who is Zhao Jinhua?"

"That's my daughter-in-law!" The village chief He asked, "Where did she run away?"

"Your daughter-in-law ran away, why are you asking us? It's none of our business." The male reporter was actually full of hostility towards these villagers because of the "human sacrifice" thing, not to mention Nine versus five, he didn't care too much about these villagers. "What did you do to let a pregnant woman run away in the middle of the night?" Before the village

chief could reply, a villager behind shouted: "Could it be hidden in the car?" Right?"

When he said this, other villagers said they wanted to check the carriage. Of course the reporters were not happy. Although the village chief's daughter-in-law was not hiding here, why should they check it out as soon as they asked? They are not the police!

The two sides argued for a while, and the lead reporter was a little worried about the situation getting worse. Finally, he reached an agreement with the village chief: the villagers would not get on the bus, and the reporters used lights to shine inside the car to show them.

There is nothing else in this carriage. After taking photos of people, there are basically no other big items. But the village chief still stuck his head and asked for the light to shine in every corner. It wasn't until he had finished reading all the places that the village chief snorted and retracted his head.

The villager asked again: "Will the car be in front?"

So they went to argue with the driver in front of them. The soldier was not as polite as the reporters when they were arguing. When he was quarreled in front of him, he jumped out of the car, exposed the gun on his waist, and sneered: "I wonder who dares to get into my driver's seat without their own life!" It

must be said that at this time, he was indeed fighting violence with violence. Better results.

The villagers no longer dared to shout loudly. Only the village chief looked at the driver's seat, said "No", and then backed away.

Indeed, there wasn't. The front of the car was so big, and there was no one on the seat or underneath, so where else could it be hidden?

The soldier returned to the driver's seat and slammed the car door hard.

The village chief looked ugly and led the villagers away towards the rear of the car. After they left, a male reporter looked puzzled: "Why didn't they ask us if we saw the woman and where she ran?" "

No need to ask." Cen Yi replied, "She can only go back to her parents' home, that The direction must be the direction of her parents' home. They are a group of men who can walk much faster than her. Just wait and wait on the road." "

Oh my god, isn't she dead then...!" The female reporter frowned and said, "I hope She knows how to hide first and go home later."

The lead reporter said: "Even if she returns to her parents' home, it may not be safe."

"How could it be?!"

"They insist that it is a conflict between the young couple, and the parents' family may not be aware of it. I will stick to it, not to mention that the little daughter-in-law is still pregnant. If a pregnant woman runs back to her parents' home, the village will definitely be embarrassed." The lead reporter took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, "The village chief's family won't help. She, she is in too much trouble."

"It would be great if our car was repaired, or even if another car passed by." The female reporter said in frustration, "First take her to the city and hide her. , These villagers can't be so barbaric in the city."

Her speech was too idealistic, but the leading reporter didn't say anything and just smoked silently. It wouldn't be possible anyway, so that's all she wanted to do.

Silence returned to the vicinity of the truck, but this time the atmosphere seemed even heavier, and everyone who was originally preparing to rest was no longer sleepy. The NPC reporters may be thinking about that woman, but Fu Yan and others think it's not that simple.

Sure enough, at nine o'clock, another group of people came.

This time, there were both men and women, and most of them were strangers. Only the village elder's wife was seen by the reporters. At first, the reporters thought they were causing trouble again, but they did not expect that they handed over several baskets full of kettles and dry food.

"My old man said, you guys have to stay here all night. I'm afraid you won't have anything to eat, so let us deliver it." The village elder said, "We didn't mean to have a bad attitude in the morning, it was mainly because we were busy. We are busy now. It's over. I feel like I've offended you so much before, so I'm here to help. You are welcome to come to the village to play in the future."

The reporters were a little hesitant: "The village chief has gone home? Didn't he go that way?"

"Oh, they We didn't go far and took a shortcut home. It's too late. They don't have enough lamp oil. If the wife wants to go back to her parents' home, just go back with her for a few days." The village elder's wife passed the basket forward again, "Eat, you can leave at noon. We didn't get much dry food when we arrived. They are all young people, how can they survive hunger?"

The reporters still didn't move. The village elder's wife had no choice but to take out the contents of several baskets and put them on the side of the carriage. As she put them away, she said, "I put them here for you. I don't need your money. I think this is an apology.

" Here, she also went to deliver it to the soldier in the cab. The reporters peeked through the small window in the middle and saw the soldier receiving the items, but they had nothing good to say.

These people seemed to really come to bring warmth. After putting away their things, they all left.

The reporters were left looking at each other in confusion, facing the food on the side of the carriage.

"What should I do?" a male reporter asked, "This is arranged like an offering, let's..."

Xie Anna sneered: "Who will eat, who..."

Her last two words were silenced, but her mouth shape was made. Yes - "Silly X".

"Indeed, it's better not to touch it." The lead reporter said, "We had a quarrel with the village chief earlier, and he turned around and went home to ask for food. Is it such a good thing?" "It's

so scary. ?" The female reporter rubbed her arms, "These people won't put poison in the food, right?"

"It's important to be on guard against others." The lead reporter said, "I think everyone can bear it and get some sleep. , leave as soon as possible when you encounter other cars at dawn. What do you think?"

Other NPCs agreed, but no one among the players said anything. The leading reporter asked, "Xiao Fu, Xiao Cen, what do you think?"

Fu Yan glanced at the leading reporter and replied calmly, "I don't think it's possible."

"What?" the leading reporter asked, "Then what do you think we should do? ?"

Fu Yan glanced at Cen Yi, and Cen Yi said: "We think - we have to run away now!"
