In the lake?

Guaikawa was shocked. Could it be what he thought!

"In the lake?" he repeated.

"Well, my sister was selected three years ago and married to the lake god."

"This..." Kamikawa suddenly was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Amuro's face was also very heavy.

The more backward the place, the more bad the habits there are, especially in such closed villages, there are countless tragedies.

At some point, Shangchuan Shun changed back to his original appearance. The sloppy look disappeared without a trace. He had a blank expression on his face and a sense of indifference.

"Are you sad?"

Ah Hu nodded subconsciously, but then shook his head suddenly.

"It's not sad. It's very lucky to be able to serve the gods. And my sister often comes to see me in my dreams!" He tried to make himself smile, but his smile was stiff no matter how hard he looked.

When Kurakawa Shin looked at him with pity, he no longer had the desire to speak for a moment.

This is how foolish people look. Even though they are so sad that they have to find reasons to comfort themselves. They may be able to realize that their sister has left him forever, but only by constantly hypnotizing themselves can they not collapse.

When he saw Kamikawa Shun, Toru Amuro took over Kamikawa Shun's mission.

Although his mood was also quite bad, his long-term undercover work had long made him accustomed to hiding his emotions in his heart.

He asked:

"Marry the Lake God? Why do you want to marry the Lake God? Is this a custom in the village?"

Without answering him, Ah Hu walked forward on his own and didn't want to say more about it.

"arrive."

He came to a pretty neat house. The house was old and had a grey like dirt, just like Ah Hu, with a dusk air of setting sun.

But Shangchuan's eyes were immediately attracted by the cluster of bright wild flowers next to the wooden house. These wild flowers obviously grew naturally, without anyone to maintain them, and they grew extremely messy.

But even so, it bloomed in the rain and in the dark mist on this side, becoming the only bright color.

Shangkawa Shun didn't know how to describe his feelings, as if he suddenly encountered the most gorgeous life in a gray twilight.

The strong conflict and contrast made the suppressed heart relax and let the soul breathe for a moment.

Ah Hu obviously cared about this cluster of flowers and avoided them carefully, for fear of hurting them.

"Did you plant this flower? It grows so well." Seeing that he cared about this bush, Tori Amuro immediately changed the entrance to the conversation.

After being praised, Ah Hu was obviously very happy and was dissatisfied with the silence on the road.

He said, "It was not what I planted, it grew up by myself. I thought it was a weed at first, but it grew very fast and it bloomed soon."

“It looks so good…”

This bright color makes people feel better.

Ah Hu scratched his head and smiled, pushed open the door and took them into the house.

Shangchuan Shun found that the houses these people live in were not locked. Whether it was the old house or the place where Ah Hu, they all casually covered it, and there was no such thing as a door lock.

The environment of Ahu's house is not very good, but relatively speaking, he can live there.

Shun Kawakawa looked around the room and asked him, "Don't you lock the door here?"

"Lock the door? What is that?"

"It's just to use something to close the door so that others can't get into their own house."

Ah Hu shook his head, "Don't lock the door."

"Is this what..."

"What do you usually eat?"

He didn't see any food like rice, flour, or something in the house, and there was not even a stove or a pot.

"Eat this." Ah Hu took out a pack of things wrapped in oil paper from under the bed. He carefully took off the outer layer of the oil cloth, revealing that more than half of the compressed biscuits were left inside.

Looking at the compressed biscuits, he swallowed a little, and then handed them to the three of them, "Are you hungry? Can you give half of them to you?"

Amuro's brows were so hard that he could kill mosquitoes. No matter how he could not have imagined that the food here was actually compressed biscuits, and he looked like a treasure!

“How did this food come from?”

"It was sent by the great witch, and it will be sent once every time the moon is full."

“How much will each person get?”

"Five packs." Ah Hu stretched out his finger and compared a number, and asked again: "Do you want to eat it?"

His idea was very simple, although these people were about to go to worship the lake god soon, before the sacrifice, they should eat a little bit of fullness so as not to be hungry on the road, just like her sister.

Seeing the three of them shook their heads together, Ah Hu carefully wrapped the paper bag back and stuffed it under the bed board.

Shangchuan Shun finally understood why these people were in a state of static in Ahu's mouth.

The food for a month is five packs of compressed biscuits. Although I don’t know how much portions their compressed biscuits are, even if I save it, five packs are not enough to eat for a month.

Staying or sleeping can greatly slow down physical loss. These people may not be unwilling to move, but they do not have the strength to move.

The deep wooden clogs on the path I remembered, Shangkawa Shun guessed that it was left by the great witch who carried compressed biscuits every month.

"Have you ever left the village? When we came, we saw a small road leading to the mountain."

Ah Hu shook his head, looking confused.

"Little road? Road? I have never left the village, I don't know..."

Shangchuan Shun and others looked at each other and finally had a preliminary impression of the village.

In this village, the great witch is the agent of the gods. The people in the village obey his orders unconditionally and he controls everything in the village.

"We'll sleep with you tonight. Do you have something to do? If you have something to do, go and do it, don't care about us."

It was obviously the other party’s house, but the one who turned his head and ordered him to expel him was Tomoto.

Ah Hu didn't think much about it, nodded and turned to the ancestral hall.

When the outsider left, Amuro breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot. He took off the raincoat covered with water vapor inside, then put the backpack on a cleaner table, and pinched the eyebrows with a headache.

"This village is really hard to describe..."

Whether it is the operation of using a living person to sacrifice to the lake god or only sending five packs of compressed biscuits every month, Amuro was dumbfounded and didn't know what expression to make.

"Yes, I even suspect that I have come to the primitive society..."

Shangchuan was also very tired. He would rather fight with the winery people than come to such a suffocating place.
