Chapter 89: Fred's extra chapter (Part 1)
Several days passed, and Chu Xiang's parents still couldn't come back from the experimental base.
Even if Chu Xiang didn't understand anything about their work, he still felt strange.
When Fred slipped into her bed again that night, Chu Xiang couldn't help but talk about it, "My father and mother, are they so busy at work?"
"I don't know." Fred lay on her body skillfully, and touched the skin under her nightgown with one hand, lingering on it.
Chu Xiang asked again: "Do they really have something very important and can't get away from it?"
"I don't know." He said the same thing again, and after working for a while, he excitedly lowered his head and kissed her after finding the gentle village.
Chu Xiang tried his best to tilt his head, not letting him block his mouth, "They won't encounter any trouble, right?"
"I don't know." That's all Fred said. He finally got to the point and couldn't wait to pull her along to sink in.
Chu Xiang's unspeakable words were messed up, and his toes were tightening with happiness.
It was really convenient for Fred that Chu Xiang's parents didn't come back. It was great that he could sneak in and be the groom every night without being disturbed.
But during the halftime break, when the two sides exchanged offensive and defensive fields, Chu Xiang said: "Fred, I miss my parents. I want to tell them that you are the person I like."
Fred paused slightly, and the light in his eyes paused briefly.
As mentioned before, he has either forgotten or become dull about many human emotions. He seems to have a vague impression of the word "family love", but he cannot remember it clearly.
Xiangxiang said that he misses his parents. This feeling of missing them but not being able to see them must be very uncomfortable.
In the base where the green seedlings finally grew, there was only a small light on in a small room.
Su Su looked very bad. She complained to her husband, "It's all your fault for saying you wanted to come here. Now, we are locked up!"
Chu Zhao's face was equally ugly, and he said guiltily: "I didn't expect the townspeople here to be so ignorant and backward."
"I wonder how Xiangxiang is doing?" Su Su couldn't help crying as she spoke, "Will they take action against Xiangxiang?"
Chu Zhao was also very worried, but now he could only comfort his wife, "Since we didn't see Xiangxiang here, it means that she is safe for the time being. We have to find a way to leave here quickly and take Xiangxiang to escape from this ghost place." ! ”
Su Su looked around. The doors and windows were all nailed shut. There was not even a tool to dig a tunnel in the empty room. She fell into despair, "How can I escape in this situation?"
Just a few days ago, Chu Zhao and Su Su were still happy that the seeds had sprouted. This proved that their efforts during this period were not in vain. They had successfully transformed this piece of land. As long as they were given a little more time, they would definitely We can make this place a sea of wheat.
Just at this moment, the mayor appeared with his people.
Chu Zhao thought the mayor was here to inspect the work, and quickly introduced him to the results of his work.
The mayor glanced at the green seedlings and nodded affirmatively, "You have done a good job. I really don't know how I can thank you on behalf of the town."
"The mayor is joking." Chu Zhao said openly: "You hired us and paid the employment fee. The results now are what my wife and I should do."
"In that case, I won't say anything." The mayor raised his hand and said, "Lock them up." Chu Zhao and Su Su were stunned, but Su Su was the first to explode, "What do you mean? ! ”
The mayor did not answer, but watched indifferently as they were imprisoned in the cabin. Now, four days have passed since they were imprisoned.
They wanted to spread some news, and it would be best to let Chu Xiang run away, but they failed. The people guarding outside were stubborn and would not listen to their sweet words and pass on any news for them.
Therefore, Chu Zhao and Su Su could only wait here.
On this night of the full moon, someone opened the door.
Andrew stood in front of the people and said: "Tie them up and carry them to the altar."
Chu Zhao couldn't believe it, "Andrew, you are actually in the same group as them!"
Andrew said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, if I can, I don't want to do it, but I also have what I want."
Chu Zhao and Su Su were tied up and pulled out to an open place behind the town. There was a high platform here, which seemed to be a place where they usually held some kind of sacrificial activities.
There was a circle of people wearing white robes with white masks on their faces, all looking in the direction of Chu Zhao and Su Su.
This couple is well-informed and can guess that this must be some kind of ceremony in their town, and usually these feudal and backward so-called sacrificial rituals will definitely require sacrifices.
Without thinking too much, the couple must have been chosen to be sacrificed.
Chu Zhao asked the mayor, "Mayor, why are you doing this! Didn't you invite us to solve your food crop problem?"
The mayor still seemed to be the good old man, and said with a charitable face: "Yes, Mr. Chu, I am very grateful to your family for their contribution to Rain Town, but I think you should know that since your family came here , first my son disappeared for no reason, and then the massacre in the circus happened. Maybe others are right, it was you who brought the black curse.”
After discovering that there were many dead bodies in the circus and the people in the circus disappeared out of thin air overnight, people decided that this was an ominous sign.
As the mayor, he issued an order to burn everything left in the circus, including the terrifying and ugly beasts.
Yes, even a parrot was spared, and everything was thrown into the fire.
Only by burning everything can they gain a moment of peace of mind, and the ominous atmosphere can go away from them.
The mayor approached and patted Chu Zhao on the shoulder, "Mr. Chu, your family are really good people, but there is no other way. My son is missing. I can only offer you to the goddess of spring in exchange for mine." Son.”
That's right. Choosing Chu Zhao and Su Su as sacrifices in the first place was not because of the mayor's decision for the sake of the town. He just wanted his son to come back.
As for whether this ritual is useful, wouldn't it cost two lives if it failed?
It didn't matter, because other people's lives were nothing compared to his son.
What a pity.
The mayor originally planned to capture their dark-haired, dark-eyed daughter for sacrifice, but Andrew said he wanted that girl, so the mayor thought about it and let it go.
If the couple's sacrifice didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to capture the girl as a sacrifice.
