Chapter 19 For the sake of world peace, he died a worthy death

It was such a close call, thanks to Aning's timely arrival. Otherwise, it would have been an injustice if he really drowned.

Aning patted his back and helped him calm down. "If it's really difficult, don't make it difficult for yourself."

Jing Zhao slapped him away and roared: "You are sick! I told you to stay away, but you still walked into the water. Don't you know you are still injured?!"

After Jing Zhao finished yelling, he felt his ears were buzzing. He was really scared just now, afraid that both of them would be caught in this huge wave.

The young man endured his anger and stood behind him without saying a word.

Jing Zhao looked at him like a puppy that had been wronged but still followed its owner and waggled its tail. The anger in his chest calmed down.

"Sit over here and let me take a look." He said with a straight face and patted the beach beside him.

Aning sat down obediently.

Jing Zhao tore off his clothes, and the white cloth wrapped around the wound was soaked. Fortunately, the wound was not torn and no blood seeped out.

"Does it hurt?" Jing Zhao looked at him and asked.

Aning nodded lightly, "It was immersed in the sea water, a little bit."

Jing Zhao choked with anger. He wanted to scold him! He deserved it! They told him not to come over, but he didn't listen. The sea water has such a high salinity, of course it hurts! Not only will it hurt, but it may also cause inflammation!

"I'll carry you back." Jing Zhao said with a cold face, he bowed and directly carried Aning on his back.

The hot temperature of the young man behind him came from his back. Jing Zhao suddenly felt something bad. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, but the young man avoided it.

"What are you doing, Gu Jingzhao."

"Don't move! Let me see if you have a fever." Jing Zhao touched his forehead and felt a hot touch.

He was really going to be pissed off by Aning! It wasn't in vain that he had taken care of her all night last night and managed to get her fever down. This kid had made all his hard work go to waste.

"Gu Jingzhao, my brain hurts."

The young man's voice was weak, and Jing Zhao rolled his eyes, forget it hurts you so much! Secretly, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, "Don't sleep yet, we'll be home soon."

"Yeah..." The young man responded softly, his voice as low as a mosquito.

Gu Jingzhao was afraid that he would faint again, so he started talking to him.

"Anfeng and his gang suffered a loss from me last night. They won't let it go. Do you believe it or not?"

"Yeah." He continued after hearing the boy's response.

"This man, once he becomes greedy, he will not be satisfied. If the human heart is not satisfied, he will have desires. If a person's desires are too strong, he can no longer be called a human being. He is a beast; he can be manipulated and used.

Beast."

Jing Zhao's fox eyes darkened a bit, "I want them to worship me as a god, respect me, fear me, and be used by me."

"how to use?"

Jing Zhao told him some of the ideas he had just had while looking at the sea.

Aning smiled lightly and said, "Gu Jingzhao, how dare you borrow the name of a god?"

"I don't believe in gods or witches. I only believe in myself. It doesn't matter what the name of the gods is. I can borrow it if I want." Jing Zhao became more and more determined as he spoke. Since the world is in chaos, he doesn't mind getting a little more chaotic. This spring

The county's world, so what if he wants it!

After he finished speaking, the person behind him didn't respond for a long time.

Jing Zhao was worried that he would faint, so he shook him twice and said, "A Ning?"

After a while, a very soft voice came from behind: "What a coincidence, I don't believe it either."

Hearing this, Jing Zhao chuckled lightly, with a hint of warmth in the slightly raised corners of his lips.

At this time, a red sun slowly climbed up from the sea level in the east. The entire sea area, from far to near, ranged from extremely dazzling red to extremely gorgeous gold, and the beauty was unparalleled.

Ancestral Hall.

The oil lamp was lit all night.

"Head of the township, could it be that Zhiping made a mistake and couldn't find any food? In these famine years, who can have so much food?"

An Feng glanced at him: "Didn't you see the eggs in the bucket?"

"But didn't we look for it? Did we find it?"

"If you can't find it, it doesn't mean it's not there. He must have hidden it!" Suddenly a man stood up and slapped the table. He firmly believed in Anfeng and that Shang Shiji must have food.

Another person added: "He didn't know we were going. Why, could he still predict it?"

The people around him glanced at him sideways, "The wizard is listening up there, don't talk nonsense." He pointed to the sky with a worried look on his face, indicating that there was a god above.

An Feng turned to look at the two people, "He doesn't have such magical powers, but don't forget, Gu Jingzhao still has the boy he picked up next to him. Did any of you see that boy yesterday?"

"Let me tell you, Gu Jingzhao came out to hold us back so that the kid could have time to move all the food away."

"Head of the township, please make up your mind!"

"We ourselves will be hungry and miserable, and we will be able to get through it if we can hold on for a while, but what will we do with the tribute food from the great witch?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. The baby who was sent to do hard labor never came back.

In the past few years, the great witches have come to take away the hard labor from the village. There are hundreds of slave laborers every year. All the young and middle-aged people in the village have been taken away. Now all the women in the family are used for spring planting and autumn harvest.

If there are not enough hard labor levies this year, then boys and girls will have to be levied as sacrifices...

The people sitting in the hall all lowered their heads. The person who just spoke had a baby boy and a girl born in his family. Originally, this matter was hidden secretly so that no one would know about it.

If the great witch knew that his family had given birth to a pair of children, which was a serious omen, he would definitely not be able to escape from the sacrifice to the gods. But the child was so cute, and when he saw him, he kept calling grandpa, how could he bear it.

"My, my youngest son is only eight years old..." Suddenly, one person covered his face and couldn't help sobbing. If it really comes to the stage of a life sacrifice, none of them, who have children at home, will be able to escape.

An Feng sighed softly.

Why shouldn't he be worried? An Zhiping has just turned seven. His eldest son was taken away by a powerful witch and his younger son was sacrificed to the gods. Then what's the point of his life?

There was sadness in his eyes as he glanced at everyone in the hall. Every household in Xiaxi looked the same as his family.

Today's predicament can only be solved by food. Only by obtaining food can the great witch's tribute be paid, and they will not starve to death!

An Feng sighed, calmed down, and slammed the table.

"Let's go to Shangshiji again and make sure Gu Jingzhao hands over all the food!"

"We didn't ask for food last time, why should we ask for it this time?" someone in the crowd asked.

An Feng became cruel and showed a fierce look on his face: "Didn't he have helpers? This time, he and his helpers were captured together! If he doesn't hand over the food, his Shang Shi Ji will be burned!"

It's all for the sake of the children and survival.

No matter how kind-hearted people are, they will be forced to become robbers and bandits in this environment.

If Gu Jingzhao is sacrificed, the peace and tranquility of the entire Xiaxi can be exchanged, and he will deserve to die!

Everyone in the hall exchanged glances and nodded heavily: "Everything is up to you."
