As night fell, the dim sky gradually turned dark, and even the lights of the torches below the mountain were extinguished one by one.

The last bit of popularity has completely disappeared, as if there are only these three people on the top of the mountain left in the whole world.

The door of the wooden house on the east side was pushed open, and Gu Zhoushan walked in from the outside.

Tao Long sat by the window, closed the window with his right hand, subconsciously raised his index finger and middle finger to his mouth, then froze halfway, and put it down.

"How to say? Time is running out." Tao Long's voice was a little anxious again.

"He found an important clue, and he won't be back until tomorrow morning. If there is anything, you can tell me. If not, then I'll go back and rest first." Gu Zhoushan pulled away the chair opposite Tao Long and sat down.It's just that his posture is really correct, and he looks like an inexperienced student.

He Haonan didn't want to participate in the conversation between the two, so he stood by the door, carefully eavesdropping on the words of the two inside the door, while observing the situation outside the door, and decided to run away first if something went wrong.

Tao Taki was silent for a while, his chest breathing movement was quite obvious.

Important clue?It's just a pretentious gesture, used to prevaricate him, let him show off his power!

That guy, I'm really not curious about what kind of accident can divide the teammates who are clearly bound together into two different worlds?

Or is it because Huan Feng is so certain that Tao Long cannot possibly have a solution to this problem, that's why he dares to leave him here like this?

Tao Long felt short of breath for a while, and thumped the dilapidated wooden table with a bang, kicking up a puff of dust, almost choking himself to cough a few times, but managed to hold back: "Cough... um! It's fine, then I'm fine." That's it, please come back!"

Gu Zhoushan didn't stay any longer, and slipped back into his room as if he had won a complete victory, closed the door, heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of the fist that had been clenched tightly behind his back.

Where can Gu Zhoushan get in touch with Huanfeng now? He said that he would be back tomorrow morning, but it was just made up to deceive Tao Long and He Haonan, so as to delay for a while.

If you don't give this kind of time to get up and down, I'm afraid Tao Long may not be able to hold back the anger in his heart, and take him down directly, and threaten Huan Feng.

As for tomorrow...

Heh, Huanfeng didn't see anyone all night, how could Gu Zhoushan sleep and rest in peace.

Gu Zhoushan sat by the door, quietly listening to the movement outside the door, slowly counting the time.

Until the whole world has become pitch black, you can't see your fingers, and the outside world is so quiet that you suspect that you have become deaf.

And after the time when the person who couldn't do anything and couldn't say anything should have fallen asleep, the small door of the wooden house near the mountain wall opened a small gap slightly and silently.

Gu Zhoushan leaned closer to the gap by the door, looked at the outside environment without any change, and was just about to push the wooden door farther, when he turned around suddenly.

In the corner of the room that was empty before, suddenly there was a dark shadow!

The surrounding windows are closed tightly, only the wide and thin gaps in the eyes exposed by the door just opened, and some gaps in the corners that nothing but bugs can pass through...

How did this thing get in here!

Gu Zhoushan has already penetrated his spiritual power into the ground, and in the next second he can stretch out a stone hand from the ground to encircle the black shadow in the corner, entangled to death in place.

He suddenly smelled the breath of the black figure in front of him, and his movements stopped immediately.

It was the masked little girl Zhi Zhi whom he met in the afternoon who was being bullied by a group of children!

Gu Zhoushan recalled the experience of secretly following up before, but he was almost lost in the dead stone forest, and Huanfeng who has not been traced until now...

"Woo..." Zhizhi in front of him suddenly trembled, and there was a sob from the hand covering his face.

Gu Zhoushan also trembled, and the stone hand formed underground almost broke through the ground, but fortunately he was firmly controlled by him at the last moment.

Amidst the girl's sobs from time to time, Gu Zhoushan's alert face gradually became blank.

Fortunately, he still remembered to use the method Huan Feng demonstrated to him to isolate the sound inside and outside the room in advance, otherwise the sound would definitely attract the two people in the surrounding room.

"...Who are you?" Gu Zhoushan asked nonsense to break the atmosphere at this time.

Visible to the naked eye, the girl in the corner was trembling all over, as if she was frightened by Gu Zhoushan who suddenly made a sound, she clapped her hands tightly to her mouth, and swallowed the sporadic sobs into her stomach .

... Is this really scary, or just pretending?This outfit is too similar, right?

Gu Zhoushan couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do for a while, so he took a tentative step and stepped heavily on the ground.

Zhizhi's body visibly trembled again, and he made that familiar movement again—his body curled up, his head buried in the gap formed between his knees and his chest and back, his hands were holding his head, and he was protecting the mask on his face.

What is that mask?

This doubt flashed in Gu Zhoushan's mind.

"Do you know where you are now? This is where I live." It is impossible for Gu Zhoushan to have any thoughts of pity and pity. Since the person in front of him looks weak and scared, he will follow her to act, Play a tough character to force her to tell the truth.

Zhizhi in front of him finally moved.She raised her head, looked left and right, swept the surrounding scene into her eyes, and then she was obviously stunned, and asked in a low voice with a crying voice: "...I, am I not at home? Could it be that I am at home?" dream?"

"Where is your home?" Gu Zhoushan asked.

"My home is in the village at the foot of the mountain, next to the forest near the high priest's residence..." Zhizhi subconsciously said, his body relaxed a little, and finally dared to raise his head and looked in the direction of Gu Zhoushan.

The mask blocked Zhizhi's face, only revealing her eyes, which were calm and without any emotion.

But the girl with such plain eyes cried out emotionally: "Please, please don't send me back..."

Gu Zhoushan squatted down and frowned: "You don't want to go back?"

Zhizhi shrank into a ball again, crying intermittently.

The isolated and unnamed village at the foot of the mountain does not rely on mountains or water. It was originally a poor village with extremely scarce resources.

I don’t know since when, the old people in the village began to worship a god in charge of harvest. What’s even more amazing is that this god is really useful, bringing them abundant fruits and fertile land, so that the people in the village Everyone is full.

Everyone in the village is like grabbing a life-saving driftwood, doing everything they can to satisfy the harvest god.

In the beginning, just some poultry, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep can support the god.But later, these lower animals could no longer satisfy his growing desire...

This year's sacrifice is the branch in front of him.

They want to use young girls to please the "God", so that He can always bless the village with good weather and a good harvest.

……

Gu Zhoushan was fascinated by what he heard, and gradually became less defensive, surprised, and angry at the same time: "Then why don't you leave here?"

Zhizhi was silent, then lowered her head, and buried her head between her knees: "...I can't leave, if I leave, my sister will be sent as a sacrifice by them."

"I can't, I can't let her..." Zhizhi covered her face, her voice became smaller and smaller, gradually becoming inaudible.
