A loud cock crow awakened the sleeping village.

A new day has begun, and those with authority have been lucky enough to survive the first day, successfully shortening the required survival time.

When Lin Mo was awakened by the crowing of the cock, his eyes were dark and his mind was in a daze.If he remembered correctly, he should have only slept for 3 hours.

Staying up late is terrible, and the cock crowing is also really terrible.

He turned over and put the quilt over his head, trying to fall asleep again.

Unexpectedly, a young man shouted outside the window, "Village Chief!"

Then there was a continuous knock on the door.

Lin Mo: ...

Why do these villagers go to the village chief whenever they have something to do?Can't it be solved independently?

He forced himself to sit up, got out of bed and opened the door with strong willpower, trying to watch the first scene.

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Mo found someone who also opened the door at the first time.

Seeing the blackness and sleepiness in someone's eyes, Lin Mo felt relieved.

Great, I wasn't the only one woken up.

When the village chief came out of the room, he looked at the two of them in surprise, and walked straight to the door before he could make a sound.Before seeing the visitor, he had already asked, "What's the matter?"

"Village chief, my daughter-in-law has given birth! Go and have a look!" The young man standing outside the door said impatiently when he saw the door was opened.

When the village chief heard this, his expression instantly became inexplicably complicated.

His eyes were sharp and nervous, and the village chief immediately replied, "Take me to see it!"

As soon as the words fell, the village chief hurriedly followed the young man before the door could be closed.

After witnessing the whole process, Si Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Mo, "Isn't it normal to have a baby? Why do you have to come here to call the village chief?"

"Old Liu passed away yesterday, and a newborn baby is coming today." Lin Mo said in a calm tone, rather casually.

Si Jin raised her eyelids, and there were ripples in her eyes, "You mean..."

"Follow me first."

……

As soon as the village chief arrived at Xiao Li's house, a loud cry of a baby suddenly reached his ears.

Anyway, he was born safely.

The old village chief breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was rather complicated.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the two people following quietly behind him, and the arrival time was not far behind him.

village head:……

He pretended that he couldn't see, turned his head to look at Xiao Li, and said calmly, "Bring out your child and let me see it."

Xiao Li nodded excitedly, hurried into the room, and came out holding the baby in his arms after a while.

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes for a moment.

Although it was tightly wrapped, he still saw the child's appearance at such a close distance.Sure enough, the baby's body is complete, and the left arm is not missing!

Lin Mo looked at the young Li, and got the same result from his missing left arm again—the incision was neat and smooth, which should have been cut off by a sharp weapon.

His conjecture was once again confirmed, and the one-arm of these villagers was indeed man-made.

Xiao Li looked at the village chief excitedly and worriedly, "Village chief, I know the rules of sacrifice. But the child is too young, look..."

The village chief sighed, but didn't make a sound, but stepped forward and carefully looked at the sleeping child.Facing Xiao Li's expectant gaze, he pondered for a while before opening his mouth slowly, "The child is indeed too young."

"But luck is still there." The village chief changed the subject and sighed, "Well, then, hide this child as much as possible and prevent him from participating in the sacrifice."

Hearing this, Xiao Li excitedly thanked him again and again, "Thank you village chief, thank you village chief!"

However, Xiao Li seemed to have remembered something, and asked with some concern, "What if the mountain god finds out?"

"If the mountain god blames it, I will go and explain to it." The village chief patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the mountain god will understand."

Now Xiao Li was finally relieved, and thanked excitedly again, "Thank you village chief! Thank you so much!"

……

Lin Mo and Si Jin glanced at each other, and then quietly backed out.

Walking back along the way he came, Si Jin touched his chin thoughtfully, "It's a bit strange. Why did you have to hide this child on the day of the sacrifice?"

"Furthermore, the old Liu soul body he saw last night was obviously missing his left arm, but this baby is missing today. Can these two things really be connected?"

Lin Mo was silent for a while, and Si Jin's doubts were indeed the confusions in his heart.

After pondering for half a second, he lifted his eyelids, stared at Si Jin, and frowned slightly, "Everything is possible in the dungeon. Old Liu died with one arm, so the soul body remained one-armed after death. But, this The boss of the dungeon has the ability to control the soul body, it can instantly stitch together the scattered old Liu soul body, and naturally reshape the shape of the old Liu soul body."

"I think there is a great connection between these two things." Lin Mo paused and spoke calmly.

Si Jin raised her eyebrows, "But why did it do this? Besides, newborns are not born overnight, right?"

"Old Liu shouted before he died, this is retribution." Lin Mo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, a flash of light flashed in his mind, his tone was light, but the content was chilling, "If before, Xiao Li's daughter-in-law had been cultivating What about the utensils?"

Si Jin frowned.

Lin Mo said coldly, "Until last night, this vessel finally came in handy, and it finally contained the real thing."

Weird and absurd conjecture, but people feel that maybe this is the correct answer.

After a moment of silence, Si Jin's eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and there was a colorful and magnificent light in her eyes, "Xiao Chu is really smart."

Lin Mo: ...

Lin Mo glared at him calmly and sharply.

Si Jin raised her eyes to look forward, raised her eyebrows, and said with great interest, "Yiyi and they are here."

In an instant, Yiyi and Alan walked in front of them.

Yi Yi looked at the two of them with some astonishment, "Are we late?"

Lin Mo looked at her and nodded calmly, "It's over."

Hearing this, she said helplessly, "Forget it, let me give you some information first, it can be regarded as my thanks from yesterday."

"I don't know if you remember, but we stayed at Mrs. Ma's house." Yi paused for a moment, her expression was calm but sharpness could not be ignored, "She has a one-year-old granddaughter. If I heard correctly, She shouldn't be one-armed."

Lin Mo's heart shuddered, and his sharp eyes looked straight at her.

"But this granddaughter is currently not at home. I heard Mrs. Ma discuss with her family. It seems that this granddaughter has been sent somewhere and will perform some kind of ceremony in the next few days."

"Is this kind of ceremony to cut off the left arm?"

Yi Yi glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, nodded, "That's right."

The air was a little silent, and a bad premonition lingered in the hearts of those with authority.
