The God of War in the Dimensional World
Chapter 19
Two days have passed since my father informed me about the sacrifice. I looked at Sakura beside me. After that night, Sakura seemed to be clinging to me more and more.
On this day, my father found me and took me to the village. The huge cherry blossom tree at the entrance of the village that was supposed to be in full bloom was now bare. I looked under the tree and remembered that I used to play with Sakura and Rin under the tree, with a smile on my face. A little nostalgic expression
"gone."My father shouted in a low voice with a heavy face.
I retracted my gaze and followed my father to a house in the village. There were several people from the village patrol team at the door. They saw us arriving.
"Lord God"
""Mr. Yue"
I glanced at them. Some of them were with me in the fight against monsters that day. Their eyes looked at me with awe and enthusiasm.
When I walked into the house, I saw a room with almost no decorations. There was a table and three chairs. There was a middle-aged man sitting on one of the chairs. He was holding the table with his hands and scratching his head. He raised his head when he heard our voices.
I saw that the man's hair was a little white and his eyes were covered with stains. Bloodshot, the wrinkles on the face look very old
"Lord God..."The man's voice sounded a little shaky,
"Well, what about people?"
"...In the back room...Please come with me." The man led us inside in a daze. Before we entered, we heard crying. When we came in, we saw a girl about my age sitting on the bed. She lowered her head and couldn't see her expression. The middle-aged woman was helping the girl cry.
I had already guessed from the moment I walked in that this was the family that was unfortunately selected. The woman raised her head, her hair was very messy, and her eyes were red and swollen. I took a look. Father, but he still had no expression and just said lightly:
"Accepted?"
The girl also raised her head, her face was expressionless, and her eyes seemed to be lifeless. Her whole person was very dull. The woman hugged the girl tightly with both hands and cried:
"Woo, it's her blessing to be able to serve Lord Fox God, woo!"The woman just cried quietly at first, but then started to howl.
"Really, then according to the regulations, those who are sacrificed must go to the hut next to the shrine to purify themselves for a few days, so let's leave now."After that, I didn't care about the reaction of the couple and the little girl, and left.
I looked at my father's back, cold-blooded? Heartless? I don't know how to accurately describe my current mood. Soon, several people came outside the door. We took the girl away, and her parents followed.
After we went out, when we were about to walk to the wooden house, suddenly a man rushed out from beside us, and the surrounding guards immediately went up to suppress him.
"No! You can't do this! We are obviously engaged! Why! ? Why was she chosen as a sacrifice? ?"
"Chun, calm down, this is the most suitable candidate chosen by the village elders and the Lord God!"
"Yes, calm down. The village has made a decision and it cannot be changed."
"....."
Others were also trying to persuade the frantic man. It seemed to me that he was a member of the patrol that day. What I didn’t know was that he was also the one who got a can of water from the village house that night.
"Ahhhhh! Uhhhhhhh!"Persuasion is of no use at all, he is still shouting
"It’s so noisy! Take him off! Don't let me hear it again!"This is an old and harsh voice coming from behind.
My father and I turned around and looked
"mother-in-law"
""Mother-in-law."
My father saw an expression of disgust flash across the face of the visitor, but he still signaled loudly. I nodded in the same way. I looked at my father again. Although the expression just now was very small, I noticed it. He turned around and looked at the person who came. He was an old man in the village. He was the oldest person in the village. In addition, he had a higher status in the village, so he was very popular in the village. There were always many people around him when he went out.
"Mother-in-law"
"......"
The people around also lowered their heads and said
"Why do people always inexplicably listen to the words of these elderly people?"I thought about it and felt puzzled.
"Looks like you're ready? I hope this sacrifice can bring rain and prosperity to the village as before, hehehe~" The old woman looked at the family surrounded by the patrol and smiled.
"Ugh, that's a really ugly laugh."I feel like hearing this voice is a kind of torture, but there is no expression on my face.
"Oh, this is the boy from your family, he looks really talented, and I also heard that you seem to have mastered new sword skills, for the sake of unlimited!"The old woman turned around and saw me walking towards me and said
"My mother-in-law praised me, but I'm still far behind."I lowered my head and didn't want to see that naturally disgusting face.
"Mother-in-law, if nothing happens, we will leave. After all, we have to take her to the shrine."
When the old woman was about to say something else, the father pointed at the girl and said.
The old woman looked back and chuckled twice, revealing a profound meaning:
"Okay, let's do this for today." Then he left surrounded by several people.
"Finally left."I took a breath
"Let's go."
Then a group of people headed towards the shrine.
When we reached the steps at the entrance of the shrine, we continued walking to the side and came to a bamboo forest. Many of the bamboos were already turning yellow. I looked at it with great pity. Soon everyone came to a bamboo house
"You will live here from today until the day of the sacrifice, and you don’t want to be allowed to leave even half a step!"
As the father's voice fell, several people took the girl from the middle-aged woman and took her into the bamboo house. Regardless of the crying mother, the man's father was also on the side. Although he did not cry, as his daughter was taken away, he became more and more nervous. The further away you go, the older and tired your face becomes.
"There are two people left in front of the door, and no one can see them outside the daily meal!"
"yes!"........
Others started to walk back, and the couple was also pulled away. I stood outside the bamboo house, and there were two young guards standing at the door.
"Lord Yue? Anything else?"
I shook my head and left without saying a word........
I got home, and as soon as I came up the steps, Sakura ran over, with Rin behind her.
"How is Rin today? Can you come out?"I touched Sakura and turned around and asked
"No problem, my sister got me some new medicine and I feel a lot better today!"Rin said with a rosy face.
"Sakura's medicine?"
"Yes, my sister is amazing! I started learning medicine a long time ago, and now I can prepare medicine for me!"
"Hey~ Really? Sakura, you are great! Do you plan to be a doctor in the future?"
"No, it's not as powerful as my elder brother said. It's still too far away to become a doctor. As long as I can cure Rin's disease, I'll be satisfied."Sakura looked very satisfied with my compliments.
"So brother, can I go see the cherry blossoms again today?"Rin's eyes were full of little stars.
I felt more and more that these two sisters were very cute. I chuckled and walked to Sakura Fukiyuki holding one by the other..........
Two days have passed since the last episode, and I am still with Sakura today. What is rare is that Rin has appeared aside for three consecutive days.
My father came back at noon, but the old woman was beside him.
They took me to the main hall
"Moon, recently around the village...Many ferocious beasts appeared, and the patrol team was somewhat short of manpower."The father glanced at the old woman sitting aside and said
"After the village decided to let you help temporarily, what do you think?"
I raised my head and glanced at the old woman, and happened to face the face that was smiling secretly.
"Since it is decided by everyone in the village, I will abide by it."He lowered his head again and said.
After that, I came out of the main hall and happened to see two little heads exposed on the side. I grabbed one with one hand.
"I'm eavesdropping. It would be very disastrous to be discovered~" I said in a light tone as much as possible.
"Brother, are you going out again? Sakura asked uneasily.
"It's okay, I'm just helping the villagers this time, and they're just some vicious creatures, nothing serious, brother, I'm very strong!"
"......."The two of them were silent.
In the afternoon, after lunch, I picked up Sakura Fukiyuki and the Shirogane sword and walked out of the shrine.
"What do you want to do?"
"Hoho, it’s nothing, I just want to see how the successor of the Yae family is doing. After all, there are only four of you left in your family, and there are only these three left in the next generation. Of course, I want to see if he can be protected. The village, hahaha!"After my father talked with the old woman in front of the main hall, the old woman laughed and left. My father also walked in with a puff of sleeves........
"Hey! drink!"
I stood up and put away my silver sword. I spent the whole afternoon hunting ferocious beasts. Looking at the corpses lying on the ground beside me, I felt something in my heart.
"As expected of Lord Yue!"
"It’s so strong!!"
I ignored the cries of the people around me and walked back on my own. After working hard all afternoon, there shouldn't be a large group of ferocious beasts appearing before the sacrifice........
That night, the village lobby
"Did you all go and confirm it yourself? asked the old woman
"Well, it’s confirmed, it’s indeed true!"
"no problem"
"Okay, I'll go tell Lord Yae tomorrow"
"But will the man agree? In order to keep the blood pure, Yae Shrine has always allowed intermarriage within the clan."
"He will! The current Yae Shrine is no better than before. There is nothing to fear from a family with only four people left! And now the next generation only has that boy, who has some promise, and there are two left, one is mediocre and the other is just a sick boy!"The old woman became more and more excited as she spoke.
"After we get that kid and that man dies, we will be the lowest and highest in the village! Then we will get more wealth!"
After hearing what my mother-in-law said, a few wavering people also agreed.
"So whose family should my mother-in-law go to?"A woman below asked
"I plan to go find my granddaughter. The kid looks unusual. I also asked someone to inquire about it secretly. The kid seems to be more mature than the average child. He protects his two sisters at all times, but only a little. Let me teach him what is ginger or old and spicy! Hahaha!!"Only the old woman's hoarse laughter echoed in the hall.
