The priest lit candles and led the maid to sing and dance. The sacrifice began. The first sacrifice was a deer. The deer blood flowed into the container under the altar, the deer\'s body was burned, and the smoke covered the stone statue from bottom to top.

The priest finished a spell, and then it was time for the second sacrifice.

When the soldiers opened the wooden cage, the group finally understood what was going to happen.

They don\'t come to do short-time work. They are sacrifices to the goddess. A person is only worth two silver coins, which is cheaper than the previous deer.

The soldier waved to the wooden cage and motioned for an old woman to come. The old woman was so frightened that she cried and pulled the hair of a young girl nearby and pushed her to the door.

The soldier doesn\'t care. It\'s just a woman.

They tied the girl to a rope and hung it above the stone statue with an iron hook. The girl was so frightened that she couldn\'t speak. She didn\'t make the first scream until a spear pierced her chest.

The mother quickly blocked the child\'s eyes with her hands. A group of people shrank in the cage, shed tears and shook into a ball, but did not dare to make a sound.

Manda was also shaking, half really afraid and half pretending. He observed every detail of the sacrifice between his fingers, trying to find a chance to escape.

The situation was not optimistic. All the soldiers prayed under the altar. Unless Zhao Zilong possessed the body, he could not break through among the hundred people.

Inadvertently, he noticed the statue. The girl\'s blood flow on the stone statue did not leave a trace of blood. The blood on the stone statue disappeared instantly, as if it had been drained by the stone statue.

What a terrible Ningfu! The evil spirit sealed inside or the entity of the devil?

Uncle beard was the only one who did not show any fear. He shouted: "this is blasphemy! You are blaspheming the goddess of hunting! There is no glory and majesty of God in this statue, but only a bloodthirsty demon! You are not worthy to recite the name of God, you are not worthy!"

The girl struggled on the hook for a long time before she died. When her blood dried, the third round of sacrifice began.

The soldiers opened the cage again and uncle beard went up directly.

"Let me come! I\'m not afraid of you! I\'m not afraid of that evil spirit!"

Manda hated the root of her teeth, not because of the cruelty of these people, but because of the stupidity of beards.

There was no point in his doing so. It was impossible to change the fate of these people by dying first, but Manda lost a helper.

Others are glad that although they don\'t know who will be next, at least they can live a little longer.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers didn\'t take a fancy to the beard. They pushed him back to the cage: "it\'s still early. You have to stay until the end and change a man!"

The soldier looked at the annoying young man. The young man turned pale with fear. He grabbed Manda and said, "he! He has always wanted to escape. Let him go first. I am the clerk selected by the knight. I swear in the name of the Lord that what I said is true!"

The soldier shook his head and said, "he\'s more special. Change another one!"

As if playing a game, the soldier kept staring at the young man and watching his funny and shameless behavior.

The young man turned and grabbed the little boy: "this little guy can\'t do anything. Let him go!"

The mother hugged the little boy desperately. The little boy cried loudly. Manda cut the boy\'s thigh with her fingers.

The blood flowed out, the young man screamed, and the two soldiers looked at each other.

"Is he hurt? Has he shed so much blood?"

"Give it to the goddess quickly. If you can\'t do it tomorrow, you\'ll die."

The soldier dragged the young man out and hung him up. The spear soon pierced his chest. Fresh blood flowed on the stone statue and disappeared clean as before, but the young man\'s cry did not stop for a long time.

"I\'m the clerk chosen by the knight. The knight can testify for me. I\'m a noble. I know words. Help me, please..."

When the rain poured down, the priest asked the waiter to open a few more holes in the boy\'s body to let his blood drain quickly.

Standing under the tent, zigsai said with a smile: "the heavy rain means rebirth. We have received the response of the gods."

Beard sat in the cage and made a voice that others could not detect: "you are so cruel. He really can\'t die."

"I didn\'t kill him." Manda shrank in the corner of the cage and fell asleep.

At dusk, the soldiers gave each of them a loaf of bread. Everyone was munching. Their desire for food made them forget the threat of death again.

Late at night, the heavy rain did not stop. Only two soldiers remained outside the wooden cage, and the rest hid in the tent.

Manda came up to beard and stabbed him with her elbow.

Beard opened his eyes. He didn\'t sleep and knew what Manda wanted to do.

Manda pointed to the door and moved her finger, meaning that he could open the door of the cage.

After opening the door, kill the guards one by one. It\'s best to keep quiet and then run away immediately.

The beard shook his head and said, "now is not the time."

"If the rain stops, it\'s too late."

"It won\'t stop tonight."

Manda\'s voice caught the attention of the soldiers. A soldier turned around and pulled half of his long sword out of the scabbard, which was a warning to Manda.

Watching them drowsy in the rain, they actually kept a high vigilance. Bearded\'s judgment was right. Now is really not the time.

Manda sat back in her corner. The little boy who had been sleeping in his mother\'s arms suddenly opened his eyes, crept to Manda and stuffed half a loaf of bread into Manda.

The soldier only gave their mother and son a loaf of bread and obviously didn\'t want to waste food on them. The mother gave the little boy half of the bread. There was a gap on the half of the bread. The little boy bit it. He only took one bite, and all the rest was left to Manda.

This was his only wealth. He stared at Manda with longing in his eyes. He wanted to live.

Manda took a bite and gave the bread back to the little boy. The little boy refused to accept it. This was his chip to buy his life. He knew it couldn\'t be counteroffered.

His eyes stared round and tightly at Manda. Looking at the little guy\'s eyes, Manda couldn\'t help laughing.

He made a cockfighting eye and stared at the little guy for a while. His round little face showed seven silver coins.

Life is valuable, and most of the time it is cheap, but people who live desperately can always improve their value.

Such a person is worth living.

It rained heavily, and Manda sat in the corner waiting for the movement of beard.

After waiting for a long time, Manda couldn\'t help kicking him. The guy still didn\'t respond, as if he had sat down.

Manda has prepared the golden finger. He has to make a difficult choice. Is it to make a cut in the leg of the beard? Or just open the door of the cage?

Hesitating, I suddenly saw the beard open his eyes and said in a deep voice, "the time has come!"

Manda looked at the sleeping boy, pointed to him and then to herself, indicating that he must follow closely.

The little boy nodded and shook up his sleeping mother.

Manda came quietly to the cage and clamped the chain with her fingers.

With a crash, the chain broke, and Manda took a breath, louder than he thought.

The soldiers outside the cage did not respond. They fell asleep.

Manda opened the cage door and motioned the others not to move. He and bearded quietly walked out of the cage.

The two men came behind the two soldiers respectively. Manda cut one soldier\'s throat with a golden finger. The soldier covered his neck and struggled hard to wake up the other soldier.

As soon as the awakened soldier opened his eyes, he was covered by a beard and broke his neck.

Manda looked back at the boy in the cage. The boy was afraid, and his mother was even more afraid, but he still pulled his mother out of the cage.

A young man woke up, saw that they all ran away and hurried to follow.

Only the old woman was left in the cage. Manda didn\'t want to care about her, but beard came forward and woke her up.

The old woman opened her eyes and stared at her beard for a while. Suddenly she shouted, "come on! Knight, soldier, come on! They\'re running away!"
