Jing Lan felt that she had been trapped in endless darkness, fell into the ice cellar for a while, and fell into the sea of ​​fire for a while.

No matter which one it is, it will bring her pain.

She wanted to reach out and grab the two of them, but she couldn't catch them with all her strength. Despair bound her and dragged her into the endless abyss.

I don't want to die at all...

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." A violent cough came from the ground floor of a stilted building.

A girl in a black cloth dress, with a snake-shaped bun and an embroidered black kerchief bent down and walked to Jing Lan who was coughing.She knelt down and looked at Jing Lan.

After squatting for a while, seeing that Jinglan hadn't moved, she took out a piece of dry grass from the pile of grass next to the cows and picked Jinglan's nostrils.

Jing Lan's nostrils were irritated, she couldn't help itching, she sneezed, and then coughed violently.

At this moment, Jing Lan, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally opened her eyes slowly.

The surrounding light was very dim. After a while, Jing Lan's eyes adapted to the surrounding light, only to find that she was lying on a pile of hay, next to a large stone pile, and two cows were tied to the pile, and the two cows were eating a pile from time to time. Dry grass under their feet.

Her first thought was that she was in a pen, with two cows.

But the last scene in her memory was clearly in the icy cold river. After she pushed Shen Wan and Cheng Ze to the bank, she exhausted her strength and was washed away by the rushing river.

When she was about to sink into the river, she grabbed a bed board, because of this bed board, she was not drowned, and floated down the river.

She didn't know how long she had been floating, but when she no longer had the strength to hug the bed board, she was washed up on the shoal at the bend of the river, and then she passed out when her eyes went dark.

Then she kept having nightmares that made her feel painful, as if she would never wake up from the nightmares.

Until now, the violent cough shook her chest and pulled her out of the nightmare.

After Jing Lan finished watching the two cows, she turned her head and saw a person squatting next to her, because this person was dressed in black, except for a red snake embroidered on her kerchief, and her pair of round and bright eyes Well, Jing Lan didn't realize that she was a human being at first glance.

After meeting her eyes, Jing Lan realized that the black lump in front of her was a person.

"Scary! Cough cough cough!" The startled Jing Lan coughed again. She tried to sit up, but as soon as she moved, she heard the sound of a series of iron chains colliding, and then she suddenly realized that One of my left hands was locked by a shackle, and a string of iron chains was worn on the big stone post on the shackle.

Even so, she sat up with difficulty on her hands, and as she sat up, she found that a piece of furry animal skin full of smell had slipped off her body.

The girl who was squatting beside her and watching her saw her sitting up, so she stood up, stooped back a few steps, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Terrified, Jing Lan looked around, and then she found herself in an extremely dirty environment, animal feces were everywhere, and the extremely strong stench made her almost vomit.

This is where?Why am I locked up in such a filthy place, chained to a cow.

Thinking of the word "tie", she hurried to see if she could untie the iron chains that locked her, and at first glance, she gave up.The iron chain passed through the middle of the stone pile and was embedded in the stone. If she wanted to escape, unless she had the strength to hold the stone pile together.

As soon as she moved like this, her body was not covered by the animal skin. A gust of cold wind blew by, and she immediately felt the cold, and she couldn't help shrinking her body.

At this time, she saw that she was still wearing the white jacket she was wearing when the boat sank, but the white jacket was already so dirty that the original color could not be seen.Also, her feet were already red from the cold, and she had a lot of chilblains, which hurt when she moved.

Since you can't escape, you can only wait and see what happens.

With her still moving hand, Jing Lan picked up the smelly animal skin that had slipped on the ground and wrapped it around her body, then sat on the pile of withered grass that was lying just now, and looked out.

She also discovered that she was actually at the bottom of a stilted building, commonly known as a stilted building.

This kind of building usually exists in the ethnic minority areas in the south, where livestock are kept on the bottom floor and people live on the upper floor. No wonder she can hear footsteps from the floor above her head from time to time.

Could it be that she was rescued by the ethnic minorities here, and then brought here and locked up.

However, what Jing Lan didn't understand was, since they wanted to save her, why did they lock her up?

While guessing there, someone came in, the leader was the girl squatting in front of her just now, followed by two middle-aged men wearing animal skin waistcoats, black cloth clothes, messy hair and tattooed faces.

The three of them stooped and walked up to her. The girl pointed to Jing Lan and said something she couldn't understand. The two strong men nodded and walked over. One of them took out a key from his waist. Undo the iron shackles that bound one of her wrists.

As soon as her hands were freed from the iron shackles, another mature man with a tattooed face took out a bundle of hemp rope, tied Jing Lan behind her back, then clamped her in the armpit, bent down and led her out .

Of course Jing Lan felt bad about being treated like this, but now she didn't even know where it was and what the situation was, so she could only accept it.

After the mature man took Jing Lan out, he put her on the ground.

As soon as she stood up straight, she heard shouts of "Hoo Hoo" from around her, and saw her standing barefoot in front of a three-story stilted building, surrounded by people on three floors and three floors outside.

These people are all dressed in black, the men all have tattoos on their faces, the women wear all kinds of curvy buns, and each of them is wrapped in a black turban with bright flowers embroidered on it. with the snake.

Their skin is darker than that of the Han people, most of them are barefoot, the men have sabers around their waists, and the women have more or less silver ornaments on their bodies.

The way these people looked at Jing Lan made her inexplicably uneasy, like a hunter staring at the prey, or a diner staring at the food. Jing Lan even saw the saliva dripping from the mouths of the children.

Someone came down from the three-story stilted building. This man was a tall, middle-aged man. He also had messy short hair and a tattooed face, but he held a black wooden staff inlaid with a gold snake head in his hand. He wore a A black cloth garment embroidered with golden snake patterns, and a belt embroidered with golden snake patterns is tied around the waist.

Looking at his attire, Jing Lan guessed that he should be the leader of these people.

Sure enough, when he came down from the stilted building step by step, the people who had roared vigorously before became quiet, and all looked in awe at the middle-aged man holding a black wooden stick with a golden snake head in his hand.

The middle-aged man walked towards Jing Lan, stopped a few steps away from her, and gave her a fierce look, then he glanced at the people around him and spoke.

As soon as he spoke a long list of words, Jing Lan was surprised to find that she could understand some words.

These words are clearly some words in Cantonese, but not entirely.

The few words she understood were Han people, offering sacrifices to gods, and sharing food.

Thinking about it together, Jing Lan was immediately terrified.

Did the leader say that he would send her, a Han, to sacrifice to their gods, and then let the gods share the food, or let the people in front of him share the food?

No matter which one it was, Jing Lan couldn't accept it.

If they were really sent to sacrifice to the gods, then the gods here would probably be snakes, which Jing Lan could tell from the tattoos on these people in front of them.Their totem worship is snake, which means their god is snake.

Being eaten by snakes or people, no matter which one is very cruel, Jing Lan felt that if this was the case, she would rather be drowned before than being rescued by these people and brought here to be eaten by them.

"No, no, don't make me sacrifice to the gods. My meat doesn't taste good, and I'm still sick! Whether it's your snake gods or humans, if you eat sick people, you'll get sick from it," Jing Lan said loudly. Shout out to the leader.

The leader heard Jing Lan yelling, but he gave her a hard look, and then he raised the golden snake-headed cane and pointed forward, and those surrounding people moved out of the way one after another.

The leader said something loudly, and then took the lead to go forward. Two strong men came and pushed Jing Lan to go forward.

Jing Lan didn't want to leave, she stared at the mud with her feet, and they picked Jing Lan up from left to right and carried her away.

Now, it's useless for Jing Lan to struggle any longer.

The people around rushed towards the direction their leader was walking like a tide.

After a while, Jing Lan was brought to a large oval square located halfway up the mountain.

There are two big stone pillars in the middle of the square, on which are carved coiled snakes. Between the two big stone pillars is a cauldron, which is filled with water. When the leader gave an order, someone went to bring firewood and light it. firewood.

What shocked Jing Lan even more was that she saw a long wall not far from the cauldron, and there were skulls inlaid on the wall. Looking at those skulls, some of them had turned yellow and black, while others were still white. gloomy.

Below the skull wall, there is a large natural stone slab with axes and long knives on it, and the slate presents a dark red color, which is completely different from the surrounding blue stones, which makes Jing Lan have to think, these barbarians must be It was on that big stone slab that the people who worshiped their snake gods were slaughtered to sacrifice to the gods.In other words, people were thrown into the pot and boiled, and finally the half-cooked people were taken out and cut up on it, and distributed to the indigenous people here.

Thinking of this, Jing Lan's heart skipped a beat, her legs went limp from fright.

She never expected that after a journey, it would end like this, that she would be cooked and shared by the barbarians in front of her.

I always thought that the cannibal tribe was in Africa and America, but how could I expect her to meet one here.
