When Yu Jin woke up again, he was being thrown in the back seat of the van.The van was also very dilapidated, with several holes in the seats, and something had been left behind, and it exuded an unpleasant smell.

His hands and feet were tied, and a cloth was stuffed around his mouth. Because of the medicine, he was still in a state of weakness.

Seeing that he opened his eyes, the old woman sitting next to him called out to the people in front of him.

The two middle-aged men in front had dark skin and strong stature. Hearing the old woman's voice, they turned around, looked at Yu Jin as if checking the goods, and pointed at him in an incomprehensible dialect.

Yu Jin struggled to move, but the old woman stroked the back of his hand, turning the bracelet on his wrist from time to time.

The rough palm gave Yu Jin goose bumps all over his body.

He could have burned the rope and escaped, but because of his lack of energy, he might not be able to escape very far, so he had to be patient first and see their specific purpose.

The van was driving on an uneven country road, with rice fields and vegetable fields on both sides, and some people were working in the fields.

Soon the car started to go uphill and bumped for more than ten minutes before reaching a relatively flat place.

But it's still halfway up the mountain.

The car was parked here, and two men opened the door and got him out.

Ahead is the entrance of a mountain village. A few well-dressed and well-dressed people were standing anxiously at the entrance of the village. When they saw them, they hurried up to greet them, pointed at Yu Jin and said something fiercely.

The middle-aged man waved his hands impatiently, and they did not compromise, but the old woman quickly followed and said something slowly.

The man who spoke fiercely before immediately fell silent and looked at her respectfully.

The old woman asked several people to walk to the village with Yu Jin, and asked one of them to take out a wad of money and hand it to the man.

Yu Jin felt that he should have been trafficked.

There is no name at the entrance of this village, the village is sparsely populated, and the appearance of the houses is worse than that of the village below the mountain, probably because the economy in the deep mountain area is backward.

A man and a woman mixed him into a house with better conditions, shouted, and a young man about his age came out and said in substandard Mandarin: "Look, your sister is back."

The young man originally frowned, but now his expression turned towards shock, and he looked very distorted overall.

The middle-aged woman pulled the cloth from Yu Jin's mouth and patted him on the back: "Hurry up and call me brother."

Young man: ...

Yu Jin: ...

It was the young man who spoke first: "Sister...he looks very tired, let's go back to the room to rest first, and talk about other things later."

His Mandarin is relatively standard, and his skin is fairer and tenderer than most people in the village, and he looks full of elegance.

The middle-aged woman pushed Yu Jin again: "Okay, you take him to sit in the room first, and come out for dinner later."

The young man responded, politely held Yu Jin's arm, asked in a low voice "Are you okay", and helped him into the room.

The house is an uneven dirt land with a high roof and simple furnishings. The bed is covered with a new red peony-patterned quilt.

The young man helped him sit down on the bed, helped him untie the rope, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry."

After a period of rest, Yu Jin's physical strength has roughly recovered.He looked around the surroundings and asked the young man, "What are you trying to do by tying me here?"

The guilt in the young man's eyes deepened: "Just wait, I will find a way to help you escape."

"No need." Yu Jin said casually, "Just tell me what you want to do."

The young man hesitated to speak, Yu Jin could only guess for himself: "Buying and selling people is usually for the purpose of getting married. But you should tie up a woman."

And the middle-aged woman just said that he was a younger sister.He felt that even if he looked feminine, he would definitely not be recognized as the wrong gender.

This kind of mountain village businessman is all about the reproductive function of women. Even if he has a good-looking face, it will be futile to buy him and not be able to have children.

The young man took a deep breath and showed embarrassment: "You say that... yes or no."

"Just tell me what you know." Yu Jin said coldly.

The aura on his body made the young man dare not answer for a while, so he could only grit his teeth and tell the truth: "They bought you back as a sacrifice."

"Although it is said to be a sacrifice, it is actually a wedding with a god. If you have to say it, it should be a kind of ghost marriage."

Seeing him frowning, the young man said helplessly, "I also know that feudal superstition should be broken now, but this is a ritual that has been passed down in this village, and it will not be changed for a while. But please believe me, I believe in science."

He held Yu Jin's hand eagerly, but was slapped away reflexively by Yu Jin, and could only continue talking while covering his hands.

"What is the specific process of the ceremony?"

"The ceremony is usually held when the harvest is not good. It is used as a blessing. At that time, you need to find an unmarried virgin in the village and perform a seven-day wedding ceremony. Every day has different content. If this person can live to the end, you can achieve completeness. prayer ceremony."

The young man shook his head dejectedly: "But it's been a long time since I failed to pray successfully. The girls in the village can't take it anymore after staying up for three days at most. Every year the harvest is getting worse and worse. Ceremonies are held every year. But there are so many girls spoiled by them, those who have girls in the family are afraid of being offended, so they marry out early. Those who didn’t give birth, found out that it was a girl, and gave it away early in the morning.”

"So the sorceress in the village said that there must be no family in turn, and if you can't get out, you have to buy it. This year happens to be my family's turn, and there is no girl in my family..."

Yu Jin brooded: "Me neither."

"I know." The young man also found it inconceivable, "But I heard that the sorceress brought you back in person. Since she has recognized you, there should be a special reason."

He looked at the jade bracelet on Yu Jin's wrist: "This is the symbol of the 'bride' every year. Wearing this bracelet is equivalent to being the bride of God."

Yu Jin looked down at the jade bracelet.The jade bracelet is in good condition and has a refreshing feeling when worn on the hand. It doesn't look like something that this village can produce.

If he hadn't bought this bracelet, wouldn't he have been taken captive here.

He wanted to take off the jade bracelet, but the bracelet seemed to have spiritual power, and it remained motionless on his wrist.

The young man was also a little surprised: "Why can't this bracelet be taken off!"

Yu Jin turned the jade bracelet around, but there was nothing wrong with it, it seemed that he was simply not allowed to take it off.

That sorceress does have some skills.

The youth is caught in the reconstruction of the worldview: "How could such a thing...how could it not be taken off..."

"Aren't you from this village? Have you never seen such a ceremony before?"

The young man smiled shyly: "My family fled here more than ten years ago, and I'm not familiar with the customs here, and the ceremonies have only become more frequent in recent years. I was studying outside at that time, and I didn't participate in it. home, just come back and have a look.”

No wonder he looks out of place with the whole village.

He said again: "When I have a career outside, I will take all my family members out, and I won't stay here anymore."

"Do you know what the specific process of the sacrifice is like?" Yu Jin interrupted his long speech and brought the topic back.

The young man hesitated: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that the first six days were to thank the sky, the land, the sun, the rain, the forest and the river. Only the last day is the real wedding with God. It is said that the sacrifices are only Only after passing the test of the first six days can one be recognized by God and be qualified to be God’s partner.”

Yu Jin caressed the bracelet on his wrist: "What is this god like?"

"Who knows." The young man smiled wryly. "It's probably as written in the book. It's grotesque and eccentric, but it's supernatural. The people in the village are just looking for a good harvest. This god is probably in charge of farming. "

"This god, has it never worked?"

"What's the use of this?" The young man frowned, "You don't believe in these strange things, do you?"

Yu Jin shook his head: "When will the ceremony start?"

"Just three days later." Speaking of this, the young man glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "I will try to help you escape tonight. I actually thought that it would be better if this kind of ceremony was not held, but the parents felt that it was too difficult The people in the village must have bought you back."

But Yu Jin said: "No, I can stay."

The young man was dumbfounded: "You stay? What's the good of you staying?"

Yu Jin was thoughtful: "I'm a little curious about this god and want to meet him."

The young man shouted: "Don't mess around! You might die! In previous years, no one persisted until the last day. Besides, it's a question of whether there is such a god. You have spent seven days in vain without seeing anything. The villagers think it's strange." , what if I kill you?"

"Even if I run away, where can I go? The ceremony is coming soon, and the village will definitely send someone to guard me. Instead of thinking about how to escape, it is better to find a way to survive."

The young man wanted to say something more, but Yu Jin's calm expression stopped him, and he could only mutter to himself: "I have never seen such a person. This... I really thank you, I don't know how to call it?"

"My name is Yu."

The young man was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that you are really my family."

The surname Yu is not common, and Yu Jin didn't expect to meet someone with the same surname here, so he felt strange.

The young man was a little excited: "My name is Yu Cheng, what's your name?"

Hearing his name, Yu Jin was stunned: "My name is Yu Jin."

The name Yu Cheng sounded familiar to him, and it was the name of Old Master Yu.

Yu Jin asked the current year and date again. If he was still in that world, he might really have met Mrs. Yu.

Yu Jin looked at Yu Cheng's face with a complicated expression.If you look closely, they do look a bit alike.

What should I do if I become grandpa's "sister".

Yu Cheng only said a few words about fate, but he didn't think of anything else, and his attitude towards him became more friendly.

"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. The village is not as good as the outside, so let's just eat."

He got up to leave, but Yu Jin called him: "Your surname is Yu, what are the names of most people in this village?"

Yu Cheng smiled all over his face: "The surname is Ding. Most people here are surnamed Ding."

When he said this, Yu Jin felt more confident, and when he left, he searched the room again.

The conditions of the house in the mountain village decades ago were hard to count on, but it can be seen that this house has been specially prepared. The back of the bed sheets are all new, and a new dresser was also installed. Maybe it was bought back to compensate innocent girl.

Yu Cheng came in with a bowl of vermicelli, and an orange in his arms: "Eat it first, take a rest early after eating, and you can go around the village tomorrow."

People in the village go to bed early, basically when it is dark, no one moves around outside.Yu Jin originally wanted to go out to have a look at night, but hearing what he said, he had no choice but to give up.

Yu Cheng basically took out all the best things in the house to entertain him, with guilt in his eyes, and before going to bed, he confirmed to him whether he really wasn't leaving.

Yu Jin was annoyed, but knew that he was just kind, gagged him with food, and kicked him out of the room.

But Yu Jin couldn't sleep.He recognized the bed, and he was used to sleeping on a soft bed before, but he suddenly couldn't adapt to sleeping on the bed here.

He tossed and turned on the bed, and there was no entertainment tool, after thinking about it, he still got up.

Others in the room had already fallen asleep early, Yu Jin pushed the door and found that his door was locked from the outside.As if afraid that he would escape, the windows were also sealed with nails.

Yu Jin was afraid of meeting other people when he went out the front door, so he smashed the window with brute force, and jumped out of the window.

The village was silent at night, with the doors and windows of every house closed, except for the occasional bark of a dog.

In the dark village, only one place is shining.Yu Jin approached and found that it was an ancestral hall, with two red lanterns hanging outside, the red lights flickering on and off, looking festive and weird at the same time.

The author has something to say:

In the third world, Mrs. Yu will dote on Yu Jin especially because I have met him before and found him to be very powerful, so I respect him~

The content about the ritual is all the author's nonsense, good children should not learn it.
