Wang Xiaocao's Fast Travel

"Attention, fellow villagers! The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens will begin soon. Please report to the central square immediately."

"Attention, fellow villagers! The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens will begin soon. Please report to the central square immediately."

The broadcast spread throughout the village, and everyone without exception had to go to the location mentioned in the broadcast. Nothing could be decided by anyone.

Wang Xiaocao followed her relatives, observing the movements around her from time to time, trying to find the person she was looking for, but unfortunately she was disappointed.

At this time, a long line began to form near the entrance of the square. It turned out that there were two tall and strong men guarding the two sides of the entrance, holding something like a donation box in their hands. Everyone had to put something valuable in the donation box before entering, and it was mandatory. Everyone had to enter and make a donation.

Wang Xiaocao has seen many people being forced to take away all their money because they were unwilling to donate. Later, some of them learned their lesson and voluntarily handed over a lot of good things.

Soon, it will be her turn.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she searched all her pockets where she could hide something, and to her surprise, she found a large stack of money right out of the box.

So much! She had never seen so much cash in real life, so she quickly put the money away. When it was her turn, she readily took out a small stack of money and handed it to the other party. However, she didn't expect that when it came to her, the other party would be more lenient.

The visitor just took out two pieces of money as a token of appreciation and let the person in.

Eh? Isn't he easy to talk to? Just as she was confused, her family and relatives began to urge her to go inside.

Wang Xiaocao knew that these people were fake, but she didn't expose them. Instead, she smiled and said naturally, "Family, I'm going to chat with my friends. You guys go first."

"Okay, don't run around and come back soon." The family didn't say anything and quickly nodded in agreement.

With no outsiders around, Wang Xiaocao walked away for a while and began to observe the surrounding situation. Of course, her purpose was to find someone. Logically, the monk should be quite conspicuous. If she still couldn't find him after searching around, he was probably not here.

The square is located at the foot of the mountain and is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The leftmost part is even built adjacent to the mountain. There is also a small path covered with green vegetation that leads directly into the depths of the mountain.

While Wang Xiaocao was staring at the road in a daze, many people were also staring at it.

Run! I must run away! I would rather hide in the mountains than be without personal freedom here.

Look, the entrance to the square is guarded, and the only way out is here. A few people looked at each other, as if they had confirmed something, and soon, several people approached the path.

By the time the guards reacted, it was too late. Those who wanted to escape had already rushed deep into the path. No matter how they threatened or bribed them, it was of no use.

It is impossible to chase them, their ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven is more important and there can be no mistakes.

I was careless! I thought these people were all deceived, but I didn't expect so many people would slip through the net. In fact, many people have already noticed something was wrong and are thinking about running away.

In order to prevent others from following suit, they guarded this path as well. Now, there was no other way but to force their way through.

Wang Xiaocao did not act rashly. She did not find a familiar face among the group of people. The only explanation was that they were separated or they were tampered with. The naked eye could not see the truth of the matter. After all, those so-called family members looked like the parents in her mind.

For now, we can only improvise.

With the ringing of a bell, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven officially began.

In the center of the square is the altar, which is filled with various sacrificial items, not to mention fruits and vegetables. The most conspicuous one is a huge bull's head, which is placed in the very center with blood stains still on it.

Everyone was called to the altar, and each person was given a bright red ribbon and a bunch of white chrysanthemums. No one knew what they were used for.

Very weird!
