The night was as cold as water. When the two returned to Ah Cai’s bamboo house, Ah Cai had already vacated the room for them to live in. He took Ah Gen to guard the other side.

Dark 15 was taking care of the two children and Ah Tawa under the secret compartment. The two glanced at the children who were not doing anything and were lying on the bamboo bed to rest. Perhaps the two of them had already said everything. The worry and fear in Yan Kuan’s heart had lessened by a lot.

In fact, Yan Kuan did not know that if he did not say anything, Shen Xiaoxiao would definitely not live alone if anything happened. Moreover, Shen Xiaoxiao had told 19 when they entered the ancient tomb, when necessary, he would knock Yan Kuan unconscious and take him away in order to save Yan Kuan’s life.

But now, Yan Kuan almost wanted to be implicated alone without her knowing. At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao realized that both of them wanted the other to live, no matter how much grievance they had suffered, or whether they were on the brink of death.

Rather than that, it would be better if both of them faced it together. Moreover, not only Yan Kuan, but even Shen Xiaoxiao had never felt so relaxed.

Didn’t the two of them say from the beginning that the most important thing was to protect the children?

“Go to sleep. There’s still a tough battle to fight tomorrow.”

“I can’t sleep.”

“You still want it?”

“Go, you’re really obsessed. We can’t have s*x.”

Yan Kuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he heard Shen Xiaoxiao say that. If it weren’t for the fact that it was already late at night and the location wasn’t right, he would have really wanted to hug the beautiful woman and be insolent.

“But will the children be sent away tomorrow?”

“No, after the ceremony is over. They will probably be caught if they go out tomorrow. Shen Guoan is not a fool.”

“That’s true. Then, are we going to pretend to be villagers and enter the mountain together tomorrow?”

“Yes, that’s right. We can only do that. Let’s sleep.”

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. They hugged each other tightly and fell into a deep sleep…

..

Shen Guoan looked at Dark 1 and Dark 2 who were unconscious on the ground and his expression did not change. This Yan Kuan really had some ability. It was a pity that he was actually from the Ouyang family. Otherwise, he would really be able to become his grandson-in-law.

Under his powerful arrangements, he was actually able to get rid of them. He really had some ability. Moreover, from the looks of it, not only did he get rid of them, but he also dispelled the bewitching spell that he had created.

However, it was not easy to deal with Dark 1 and Dark 2. The curse they were under was twice as powerful as those people’s. Otherwise, they would not have abandoned them.

Of course, it was a good decision to abandon them. Seven dark guards were no match for one of them. He had a trump card with these two people. It was a pity that the bones and blood of those strong men were as rich as their yang energy. They were much stronger than the young people in the village.

Now it seemed that he needed to find another group of people. As for these two, since their master did not want them and wanted to give them to him to use, he definitely would not let down this good intention.

“Take the two of them away.”

After Shen Guoan said this, he patted the two people’s heads with force. Both of them spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then their entire bodies once again became demented as they followed the bodyguards out.

Shen Guoan looked at the two mouthfuls of black blood on the ground as if he was deep in thought. The power of this child’s urine was not small. It looked like he really was a reincarnated soul child. His decision back then was not in vain. As expected, Xiaoxiao was able to bring such a great opportunity to the Shen family.

..

Dong, dong, dong…

The sky had just brightened when the sound of gongs and drums rang out in the village. Yan Kuan flipped over and sat up. He put a blanket over Shen Xiaoxiao to indicate that she did not need to pay attention to him. Then, he walked out of the room and saw Ah Gen and Ah Cai hurriedly putting on their clothes.

“An An’s father, I don’t know what happened to the emergency gathering in the village. Let’s go and take a look first. I’ll leave this place to you.”

Ah Gen explained to Yan Kuan a little. Yan Kuan nodded and let the two of them leave. He followed them to check out what had happened, but this day was destined for the entire village to not be peaceful. Such an emergency gathering would not be less than three gongs. Therefore, Yan Kuan did not follow them. Instead, he returned to his room and hugged Shen Xiaoxiao to rest.

When Ah Gen and Ah Cai hurriedly ran to the altar, almost everyone in the village had arrived. They lived far away and were always the last to arrive. Everyone was already used to it. If it were not for the rule of the village that everyone had to be present before announcing the matter, the chief would not have waited for them at all.

At this moment, the chief looked at the team of nearly 400 people in the courtyard and said to everyone excitedly,”The warriors that we sent yesterday are already waiting for the arrival of our king. However, the prophet has informed us that we still need 29 warriors to act as protectors to welcome tonight’s grand meeting. Therefore, now, we will have another 29 warriors born here.”

After the chief finished speaking, he looked at everyone with some excitement. Just as the chief finished speaking, the crowd was already boiling with excitement. Many young people were even enthusiastically signing up. After choosing 20 warriors to leave earlier… Many young people who were not selected felt that it was a great pity. Now that there was still a chance, naturally, everyone responded positively.

However, it was not that easy to choose 49 warriors who were above the age of 18 and under the age of 30. Their village was originally small, with a total population of more than 400 people. After eliminating the elderly, father, daughter, and children… There were simply not enough people.

At this moment, if another 29 people were taken away, the entire village could be said to be only the elderly, the sick, the disabled, and the young.

Ah Cai was originally the person who could meet this requirement. However, even if they did not have enough people, and finally found a 15-year-old boy, no one hoped that Ah Cai would go.

Warriors were the pride and hope of the village. However, Ah Cai’s parents were the sinners of their village. Even Ah Cai himself was not very likable. Moreover, this quota was originally contested by everyone, there was no difference between 15 and 16 years old. There were nearly 10 15-year-olds in the village. This was not enough to divide them up. Therefore, it was normal that Ah Cai was not selected.

Of course, Ah Cai himself was not willing to go at all. 49 brave warriors were selected. It was said that they were to welcome the king. Who knew what would happen to them?

Since they had nothing to do and the people had been chosen, everyone was sent off with their eyes. As for the last saintess of sacrifice, they only needed to wait until noon to worship.

Ah Cai and Ah Gen walked back slowly. Because Ah Gen’s Ah Tawa had been burned to death by the fire, he was considered person who had white affairs in the family. Therefore, he and Ah Cai glanced at each other. No one in the village would talk to him.

The two of them walked back very steadily and did not waste much time.

It took them nearly two hours to go back and forth. When they came back, Yan Kuan had already tidied up and even cooked the porridge. Of course, Yan Kuan only knew how to cook porridge.

“An An’s father, I’ll do it.”

Ah Cai immediately took over the task when he saw An An’s father’s actions. It was Ah Gen who told Yan Kuan about what had just happened.

Yan Kuan already knew what those young men had been sent to do. They had all been ground into human bones and blood. It was equivalent to sending them to their deaths. At this moment, he felt that Ah Cai was lucky that he had not been sent away. That was the true luck.
