Chapter 345: Annual Sacrifice Drum

Hang Si went to the ancestral hall.

There were no chairs in the empty house, so she sat on an old wooden stake that had fallen from somewhere, and it was obvious that she was sulking. All the residential buildings in Meitang Village were built in the Tang Dynasty, and any house that was exposed had great archaeological value. Even if it had been renovated, it still had the shadow of an ancient building.

The ancestral hall has very high beams, and each beam is thick and simple. It does not seem that this place is gloomy. Instead, it seems that time has frozen here, leaving only the mottled history.

It makes Hangsi look particularly small.

Seeing Lu Nanshen coming in, she ignored him, crossed her arms on her bent knees, and rested her head on her arms. As the sun was setting, rays of light came out from the clouds, dragging a large area of ​​light into the ancestral hall. The ground was smooth and reflected the dazzling light. Lu Nanshen walked forward on the light, and when he saw that she ignored him, he didn't get angry, and sat down next to Hang Si.

He raised his hand and tapped her head twice, "Are you still angry?"

Hang Si ignored him and turned his head away without even looking at him.

Lu Nanshen did not withdraw his hand. His slender fingers fell on her soft earlobe and gently rubbed it twice. "It's not good to be sulky. You might as well hit me twice."

"You think I don't dare to hit you, right?" Hang Si turned his head and stared at him, his eyes full of fire, like a blooming orange flower, so beautiful.

Lu Nanshen didn't provoke her, but just smiled with pursed lips.

Hang Si was even more furious, and the evil fire in her heart burst out. She raised her hand and hit him on the chest, and her hand was very strong. Lu Nanshen did not avoid or give way, and let her hit him to vent his anger.

"Do you think you are doing us justice by doing this? Lu Nanshen, we have been in the same boat for a long time, don't you know? What right do you have to abandon us like that? Why don't you discuss it with us before doing anything?"

Lu Nanshen looked at her distressedly, listening to her hysterical shouting. Hang Si was always calm and steady, which Lu Nanshen had always seen, and it was rare for her to lose control of her emotions like this.

Seeing her eyes were red, Lu Nanshen gently grabbed her wrist, and then pulled her into his arms. Hang Si hit her until her hands were numb. She had been holding back her strength since he left, and now that she saw him hitting her again, the strength she had been holding back was completely drained. She was exhausted, and she was pulled limply into his arms, but she still struggled a few times in defiance.

Lu Nanshen's big hand reached out to her slender waist, and with a clever move he simply pulled her to sit in his arms. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't get away. He put his arms around her waist, and she had nowhere to put her hands. Either they rested on his chest, or on his shoulders, or... she could only wrap her arms around his neck.

The posture of the two is quite ambiguous.

Hang Si's face flushed, still full of displeasure, "Put me down."

Lu Nanshen raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile. This posture really made her embarrassed and annoyed. Her originally fair face was visibly flushed, which spread lightly to her ears. Her small and round earlobes were crystal clear and slightly red. Her eye sockets were also a little red. For a moment, she looked like a porcelain doll, very lovable.

"Let me go, will you still listen to my explanation obediently?" He pressed his face slightly closer, his eyes wandering over her cheek.

His voice was pleasant. Even though he had done such a jerk, she couldn't help wanting to listen to his "explanation". The anger in her heart could no longer be stirred up. She pursed her lips hard and said, "Okay, you say it." Her lips turned pale. Lu Nanshen reached out and gently covered her lips with his thumb. Soon, the color of her lips returned. The girl with cold white skin had pink lips. Such a delicate girl was able to get through the miasma and come here with perseverance and wisdom.

"The guard chief is awake, and his secondary personality is following him. He used the murderer's plan to lure me here, and his purpose is obvious. Duan Ning alone is difficult to deal with, let alone the guard chief? That group of people is no different from the ones on my side. They are all ruthless, and more importantly, his secondary personality can do anything for him."

Hang Si looked at him. The expression in his eyes was sincere and solemn. If you looked more closely, you could see a hint of madness. His hidden emotions made her feel uneasy.

The reason was almost exactly what she thought, so she asked, "So you think neither Qiao Yuan nor Chen Lin can be his opponent?"

Lu Nanshen retracted his arms and held her tighter. "I don't know how many personalities the guard has. From what I know, they are all very skilled."

More importantly, whether it is Qiao Yuan or Chen Lin, can they really lend him a helping hand at the critical moment? Or will they be as careful as the guard chief and reap the benefits?
"The captain of the guard knows how to lie dormant and is good at calculating. Duan Ning has been patiently in the dark for so many years, so she may be aware of my affairs. Meitang Village seems peaceful, but it is secretly full of dangers, so I don't want you to bear further risks." Lu Nanshen sighed, and there was more warmth in his eyes when he looked at her. "I have tested it before and knew that the miasma in the forest can block sound, so I thought that even if you wanted to enter the village, you couldn't find the way. The worst case scenario is that you can just circle in the miasma, and when the miasma dissipates, you can find the way back. I didn't expect..."

He smiled bitterly, "Just in time for the annual festival of Meitang Village."

"Year-end festival?"

Lu Nanshen nodded and asked her, "Did you follow the sound of the drums to get in?"

Hang Si hummed.

At that time, the miasma was thick, and they kept hitting the wall, until she suddenly felt a drum sound, very dull, but it penetrated the miasma and came straight to her. At that time, she was not sure that she could find Meitang Village by following the drum sound, but it was better than being lost in the miasma.

"The annual sacrifice is an important sacrificial activity at the end of the year in Meitang Village. It will last for three days, and today is the first day." Lu Nanshen informed.

This was also his first time to experience this kind of activity, which was ancient and solemn. The sacrificial drum was a bronze drum with a sun pattern, which looked like it had been passed down from generation to generation. The sound of the drum was extremely deep, as if it was the most primitive sound of heaven and earth. So when the drum sounded, he knew that Hang Si would definitely feel the drum sound and then find Meitang Village.

really.

"So Lu Nanshen, this is destined." Hang Si stared at him and said word by word, "Even God is helping us, so what reason do you have to abandon us?"

Lu Nanshen looked at the displeasure in her eyes, and felt a soft and painful emotion in his heart. He smiled, "Yes, I was wrong."

"Your attitude of admitting your mistakes is quite good. What about next time?"

"I will never make the same mistake again." Lu Nanshen vowed.

Hang Si pursed her lips and looked at him. He smiled back at her, and she was completely out of breath. Lu Nanshen hugged her closer and whispered, "So, you are worried about me, right?"
