I'm afraid no place in the city is safe.

Yanli took Shi Nianchu to the suburbs, where there were few people and only a damp forest.

"I thought I was sleeping on the street, but I didn't expect to be sleeping outdoors directly." Shi Nianchu pulled Yan Li's sleeve, "Brother Yan, I'm hungry."

"Wait." After saying that, he went into the jungle alone.

Shi Nianchu honestly waited for him where he was.

After a long time, Yanli came back carrying a half-injured wild rabbit, and then picked up some dry branches nearby to make a fire.

But suddenly he heard Shi Nianchu say to him: "Brother Yan, how can you eat rabbits when rabbits are so cute?"

Yanli: "..."

Really laughing out of anger, Yanli threw the rabbit in his hand in front of her, "Your good rabbit is hungry, how about you bleed and cut the meat to feed it?"

"Isn't the rabbit a vegetarian?"

"The rabbits here are carnivores, and they are common mutant species on Bulohing Island."

Shi Nianchu: "..." It's a big departure.

The rabbit eventually became their meal.

Late at night, the two of them sat boredly in front of the fire.

Shi Nianchu looked up at the stars, enjoying this rare quiet time.

Yanli glanced at her from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking in his unpredictable eyes.

The cold moonlight reflected on their faces, which were white and translucent, like stars dancing.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'm here." His voice was calm and powerful, which made people feel reassured.

"Okay." Shi Nianchu didn't show any pretense and fell asleep lightly on his shoulder.

Yanli lowered his eyes and looked at her sleeping beauty, his heart softened, his eyes softened a little, and he gently covered her with the cloak.

He may not even realize it, but he has already fallen unconsciously.

……

In the early morning, the two were awakened by a loud noise.

It came from the city. It seemed that some kind of sacrificial ceremony was being held, and the streets were already empty of people.

"Brother Yan, let's go and watch the fun."

Yanli and Shi Nianchu blended into the crowd. The Wuqiang people were busy celebrating and didn't pay much attention to them.

Yanli saw a shop next to him, "Let's go buy two pieces of clothing belonging to the Uqiang people."

Their clothes seemed out of place here.

The shop owner wasn't too surprised to see the new face, but his old fox-like eyes were full of calculation, and then he raised a professional smile, "Master, Miss, do you have any favorite styles?"

Shi Nianchu glanced at all the clothes and could only say that none of them caught her eye. The people here had a unique aesthetic.

"Just that one." Shi Nianchu pointed at it casually, his expression indifferent.

Yanli also asked for a set.

"There are five wishing beads in total." The boss smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Yanli was pleased with the offer, "Isn't it convenient for the boss to tell us about today's sacrifice?"

After collecting the money, the boss was in a very happy mood and simply chatted with them for a few more words.

"Today is our annual God of God Festival. A sacrificial ceremony will be held at the altar in the city. Every household must offer its own tribute, including cattle, sheep, pigs and horses." Of course, outsiders like you are the most popular. A good offering.

There are still many taboos that they should not know, so the boss naturally didn't mention them.

"I have a fitting room here, do you two want to change into it?" From an angle they couldn't see, the boss's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Okay." Yanli and Shi Nianchu entered the fitting room respectively.

After Shi Nianchu changed and opened the door and came out, it was a different scene.

It was not the original shop, but a dark and weird room with no door and weird mirrors on all four walls, and she was in each one.

There was no sound, only her breathing seemed to be floating slightly in the whole room.

She touched the mirror lightly, which was almost the same as usual. Then she smashed the mirror in front of her with her palm. The fragments fell to the ground and turned into powder.

Then there is actually a mirror behind it.

It was broken again, and the mirror fell into an endless loop.

For a moment, Shi Nianchu couldn't tell whether this was reality or an illusion.
