The days of being frantically pursued by the boss of the horror world

The ceremony on the second day imitated the traditional burial form.

Yu Jin still burned the rope binding his hands and feet, took off the cloth strip covering his eyes, and tried to push the coffin lid open.

The soil on the coffin lid was tightly covered, and the villagers pressed it with shovels, and it seemed that some heavy objects were added to it, making self-rescue even more difficult.

Yu Jin was forced to go on a diet, and his physical strength fell even further, and his current posture was not convenient for exerting force. He tried several times, but the coffin lid did not move at all, so he could only change his strategy.

He took out his knife and cut a hole in the lid of the coffin.The sand covering it fell through the cracks and landed on the side of his face.

He vaguely felt a little bad.He himself wanted to put some soil in to reduce the weight on the coffin lid.But it is difficult for him to move in the coffin, once the soil accumulates, he will be submerged.

He didn't expect that the pit was so deep and the objects covering the coffin were so heavy.

Along with the mud flowed in were some rotten vegetable leaves and insects, Yu Jin felt disgusted, turned his face away, and crushed the insects to death.

The air in the coffin was getting less and less, and his breathing became harder and harder.

The narrow space made it difficult for him to change his posture, and he could only destroy the coffin lid corresponding to a small square area from the top of the head to the chest.He pressed the edge of the coffin lid corresponding to the top of his head and pushed upward, and finally pried the coffin lid open a small crack.

The coffin lid on the other side pressed heavily on his chest, and he gave a "tsk" sound, trying to lift the entire square area up.

This process is more difficult, the coffin lid itself is heavy, needless to say there is pressure from heavy objects on it, every time Yu Jin tries for a while, he has to stop and rest.

If it weren't for the lack of physical strength now, the situation would not be so critical.He began to suspect that the so-called prohibition of eating for the sake of "purity" was really just another way to prevent the sacrifice from escaping.

The lack of oxygen left him with blurred vision and a trance.

There was the sound of howling wind from above, the vegetation shook, sand and rocks flew away, and the heavy object covering the coffin lid seemed to have loosened and rolled aside under the strong wind.

Then the soil pressed on it was also blown by the wind to the other side of the hillside.He heard the sound of stones hitting the lid of the coffin.

The coffin lid made a "click" and was pushed aside, and a force pulled him out of the coffin.

The fresh and sufficient air finally made him gradually regain consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he met Ding He's worried eyes again.

He struggled to sit up, but Ding He stopped him softly: "Don't move."

He could only obediently lie back in Ding He's arms, looking at the starlight shining on him in a daze.

There was obvious sullenness in Ding He's eyes, he picked up Yu Jin and walked straight to the ancestral hall.

Within a day, Yu Jin's weight became lighter again, holding her in her arms like a pile of feathers, which would scatter in every direction when the wind blows.

Ding He found a futon, put him on it carefully, and fed him the new tributes that the villagers had just put on.

The villagers, startled by the miracle, offered better tributes.

Ding He feels distressed when he touches the bones of Yu Jin's body, his movements and words are still gentle when feeding, but his eyes are always gloomy.

Yu Jin just ate a little bit, regained his spirit a bit, and pushed the food aside: "I'm fine."

"Are you all right?" Ding He caressed his thin face, and said in a cold tone, "I'll kill those people tomorrow."

It was rare for Yu Jin to see him lose his composure, his heart was sweet, his face was still calm, and he patted the back of his hand reassuringly: "I can't die."

"But they want to kill you, and that's enough."

"Wait a little longer, I still want to see what they are going to do in the next few days." He consciously slipped into Ding He's arms, found a comfortable position, and said in a coquettish tone, "Anyway, you won't let me die. "

Ding He hugged him helplessly, but a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes: "I won't let them hurt you."

"Isn't this a sacrificial ceremony prepared for you? You didn't know the content before?" Yu Jin gently bit his ear with him, but his eyes were calm and insightful, "Many girls die because of this every year."

Ding He was startled: "I didn't care about it, they prepared the sacrifices themselves."

Yu Jin smiled inexplicably: "Why didn't you obstruct them at the beginning of the ceremony? You should have many ways to make them give up this ceremony."

Ding He heard the reproach from his tone, and hurriedly explained: "I also have rules that I must abide by, and I can't interfere with their behavior too obviously."

He gritted his teeth again: "I didn't expect them to do such an outrageous thing. If you want, I can curse the whole village tomorrow."

Yu Jin said lightly: "I didn't blame you, I was just wondering what would happen to me if you didn't show up, or if you were too restricted."

He let out a sigh of relief: "I seem to have gotten used to the days when you are by my side. Such a habit is very dangerous. I may soon lose my ability to survive."

Ding He was silent for a while: "Don't you want to?"

"No," Yu Jin's tone was a little sad, "so let me try it myself in the next few days, and don't help me unless it is absolutely necessary."

Ding He sighed: "Why do you have to be so stubborn, I have the ability to protect you, and I will definitely protect you, can't you trust me?"

Yu Jin didn't answer directly, but deliberately asked: "Are you despising me?"

Ding He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hugged him tighter: "How could I dislike you... Well, I won't interfere, but after the ceremony, I will definitely make them pay the price."

"I understand," Yu Jin thought, and took the initiative to kiss his face, "I like you."

One sentence dispelled all the uneasiness in Ding He's heart just now. He broke up the words and went through his mind several times, but he still felt the sweetness on the tip of his tongue.

"I didn't catch it just now, can you say it again?"

Yu Jin pretended nothing happened, and buried her head in his arms: "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

The smile on Ding He's face deepened. Looking at his flushed face, he kissed him on the forehead and said softly, "I like you too."

Yu Jin closed his eyes and didn't speak, as if he had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

Ding He gazed at his sleeping face tenderly, and whispered in a barely audible voice: "Are you about to remember?"

Yu Jin moved a bit, and replied vaguely: "Soon."

Yu Jin regained consciousness the next day, and lay back in the coffin again.Only the lid of the coffin was opened, and the dirt and stones were thrown aside.

Half of the villagers came this time, and the people who came were not as happy as the day before.

Yu Cheng whispered: "It is said that God got angry yesterday, and there was a strong wind, and the vegetable fields were blown to pieces. Several houses were inexplicably blown down, and people were crushed to death."

Ding He said that he would retaliate after the ceremony was over, but he still couldn't hold back.

The villagers looked at Yu Jin with gloomy and complicated eyes.

Yu Cheng glared at them a few times, and took Yu Jin home with his head held high: "They said there that you are an evil spirit from another place, and that you made the gods angry, so the gods brought disaster on them."

"I completed the ceremony, do they also think I offend the gods?"

Yu Cheng stammered: "It's because of this... people in the past couldn't survive, so they suspect that you have a strange identity and may be at odds with the gods."

Yu Jin took advantage of the situation and said, "Then can I skip the ceremony?"

"Why are you not nervous at all?" Yu Cheng yelled, "They say you are evil, they just want to kill you! Even if you don't perform the ritual, they will never let you survive."

"Do you think that the ceremony can't kill me, can they do it?"

Yu Cheng stared at him blankly.That face, which was so beautiful that it was not like a mortal, carried an arrogance and a faint coercion that no one dared to approach.

He involuntarily chose to surrender: "No."

With yesterday's strong wind, the villagers' attitude towards Yu Jin became much more indifferent.On the contrary, Yu Jin was happy to be at leisure, changed his clothes by himself, didn't need to put on makeup, ate dinner secretly, and waited in the house for the villagers to pick him up.

The villagers came a little later.According to Yu Cheng's gossip, the villagers were divided into two factions. Half of them believed that this sacrifice would kill the whole village, and they were determined to replace him.The other faction, headed by witches, believes that if the ceremony is interrupted in the middle, the gods will feel disrespected, and they firmly disagree with the replacement.

In the end, the sorceress faction prevailed.But only a few people came to pick Yu Jin up, and the dance after that didn't go on normally.

Yu Jin looked at the gradually crude ceremony, and said meaningfully: "Is it okay to be so slack in the ceremony?"

But the sorceress still caressed his hand kindly: "It's okay, it's okay, God will definitely bless us."

The ceremony on the third day was to let him stay in a thatched hut. At first, a brazier was placed next to him to simulate the brightness and holiness brought by the sun.

Afterwards, the fire was ignited directly on the roof, and the whole house was quickly engulfed in flames.

Yu Jin looked at the fire in the house, and felt that the world had never been so familiar to him.

He could even make the fire burn hotter.

The thatched hut was in an open space with no shelter around.Yu Cheng stood anxiously not far away, watching the flames soar into the sky, his heart ached.

The villagers had internal strife, and the supervision of the ceremony was not so strict, so he could secretly rescue Yu Jin.It's just that with such a big fire, when he arrived, people would be almost invisible, not to mention burnt to death.

But he saw a figure stepping out of the blazing and exuberant flames. His figure was so bright and dazzling that the flames also became his foil.

Yu Cheng felt that this might be the first time he began to doubt his previous beliefs.

But he just fainted when he saw this.

Ding He was waiting for him outside the thatched cottage, seeing him coming out, his eyes softened: "It's over?"

"It's over." Yu Jin glanced at the fire behind him, "The light of these flames is very ugly."

There were no other flammable things beside the thatched hut. Yu Jin and Ding He watched the hut burn down and returned to the ancestral hall in peace.

"They began to think that I was evil." Yu Jin hugged Ding He's neck, "And they thought I had offended the gods."

Ding He kissed down his slender neck, his voice hoarse: "If they continue like this, they will know what the real evil spirit looks like."

"Shouldn't God be in charge of fortune?"

"If there is a god who is in charge of fortune, there will be a god who is in charge of disaster." Ding He's smile was a little cold, "I can only blame them for believing in evil gods."
