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

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

The soil on the lid of the coffin was tightly covered, and the villagers pressed it with shovels, and it seemed that some heavy objects had been added to it, making it more difficult to rescue themselves.

Yu Jin was forced to go on a diet, and his physical strength fell even further, and his current posture was inconvenient to exert force.

He took out his knife and cut a hole in the lid of the coffin. The sand that covered it fell into the crevices and landed on the side of his face.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong. He himself just wanted to put some soil in to reduce the weight on the coffin lid. But he was difficult to move in the coffin, and once the soil accumulated, it would drown him.

He didn't expect that the pit was so deep and the object on the coffin was so heavy.

There were still some rotten vegetables leaves and insects flowing in with the soil, and Yu Jin felt disgusted, turned his face away, and crushed the insects to death.

There was less and less air in the coffin, and the harder and harder it was for him to breathe.

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

The coffin lid on the other side was pressing heavily on his chest, and he "tsk" and tried to lift the entire square area up.

This process is a bit more difficult. The coffin lid itself is heavy, not to mention the 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 dazed and in a trance.

There was a whistling wind from above, grass and trees swayed, sand and stones flew away, and the heavy objects covering the coffin lid seemed to have loosened and rolled to one side under the strong wind.

Then came the dirt on top, which was also swept up the hillside on the other side by the wind. He heard the sound of stones hitting the coffin lid.

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

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

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

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

Ding He had obvious anger in his eyes, he picked up Yu Jin and walked straight to the ancestral hall.

Within a day, Yu Jin's weight was lighter again, and he held it in his arms like a pile of feathers, and the wind blew and fell in all directions.

Ding He found a futon, put him on it carefully, and brought the new tribute that the villagers had just put on to feed him.

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

Ding He felt distressed when he touched the bones on Yu Jin's body, his movements and words during feeding were still gentle, but his eyes were always gloomy.

Yu Jinjiang ate a little, regained his spirits a little, and pushed the food aside: "I'm fine."

"Are you okay?" Ding He stroked his thinned face, his tone cold. Lie, "I'll kill that group of people tomorrow."

Yu Jin rarely saw him in such a complacent state, his heart was sweet, his face was still calm, and he patted the back of his hand soothingly: "I can't die.

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

"Wait a little longer, I want to see what they're going to do in the next few days." He consciously got into Ding He's arms, found a comfortable position, and his tone became coquettish. means, "You won't let me die anyway."

Ding He reluctantly hugged him tightly, 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 Biting his ears, his eyes were calm and insightful, "Every year, many girls die because of this."

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

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

Ding He heard reproach from his tone and hurriedly explained: "I also have rules that must be followed, Don'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'm not blaming you, I'm just thinking what would happen to me if you didn't show up, or if you were too restricted."

He let out a soft sigh: "I seem to have gotten used to having you around, like this Habits are very dangerous, and I may be about to lose my ability to survive."

Ding He was silent for a while: "Are you not willing?"

"No," Yu Jin's tone was a little disappointed, "so I'll leave it to myself for the next few days. Give it a try, don't help me unless you have to."

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?

" Answering directly, he deliberately asked: "Are you despising me?"

Ding He couldn't help laughing, and hugged him tighter: "How can I despise you... Well, I won't interfere, but after the ceremony, I will definitely They will pay the price."

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

A word dispelled all the anxiety in Ding He's heart just now. He smashed the words in his mind several times, but he still felt sweet on the tip of his tongue.

"I didn't hear it right now, can you say it again?"

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

The smile on Ding He's face became more and more Shen Shen, looking at his flushed face, kissed him on the forehead, and said softly, "I like you too."

Yu Jin closed his eyes and did not speak, as if he had fallen asleep because he was too tired.

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

Yu Jin moved a little, and answered vaguely, "Soon." The

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

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

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

Ding He said that the ceremony was over. After retaliation, after all, still can not hold back.

The eyes of the villagers looking at Yu Jin also became gloomy and complicated.

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

"I finished the ceremony . , do they also think that I make the gods angry?"

Yu Cheng hesitantly said, "It's because of this... the people in the past couldn't survive, so they suspected that you had a strange identity and might clash with the gods."

Yu Jin took advantage of the situation Said: "Then can I skip the ceremony?"

"Why aren't you nervous at all," Yu Cheng shouted, "they say you are evil, and they want to kill you! Even if the ceremony is not carried out, they will never let you survive.

" Can't let me die, can they do it?"

Yu Cheng stared at him blankly. That face, which was so beautiful that it was not like a mortal, had a arrogance and a faint coercion that people were afraid to approach.

He involuntarily chose to surrender: "I can't."

With yesterday's strong wind, the villagers' attitude towards Yu Jin was also much indifferent. On the contrary, Yu Jin was happy and leisurely, changed his clothes by himself, did not need to put on makeup, ate dinner secretly, and waited for the villagers to pick him up in the house.

The villagers came a little late. According to Yu Cheng's gossip, the villagers were divided into two factions. Half of them believed that this sacrifice would kill the entire village and were determined to replace him. The other group, headed by the goddess, believed that if the ceremony was interrupted in the middle, it would make the gods feel disrespected and resolutely disagreed with the replacement.

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

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

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

third day The ceremony 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 sunlight.

After that, the fire went directly to the roof, and the whole house was quickly plunged into a sea of ​​fire.

Looking at the fire that burst into the house, Yu Jin felt that the world had never been so familiar to him.

He can even make the fire burn a little more.

The thatched hut was in an open space, and there was no shelter around it. Yu Cheng stood anxiously not far away, watching the flames soaring into the sky, his heart clenched.

The villagers were in strife, and the supervision of the ceremony was no longer so strict, and he could secretly rescue Yu Jin. It's just such a big fire, and when he arrives, people don't say that they are burned to death, and it is basically impossible to see people.

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

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

But when he saw this, he fainted. Ding He was waiting for him outside the thatched hut

, and when he saw 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."

For other combustible things, Yu Jin and Ding He watched the thatched hut burn down and returned to the ancestral hall with confidence.

"They started to think that I was evil." Yu Jin hugged Ding He's neck, "and thought I angered the gods."

Ding He kissed down his slender neck, his voice hoarse: "If they continue like this, they will know What does the real evil look like ?" "

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

"If there is a god in charge of good fortune, there will be a god in charge of misfortune." The smile on Ding He's lips was a little cold, "It can only be blamed. Blame them for believing in the evil god."
