Chapter 903: Dream On

“You didn’t go. You just saved your life!”

Ah Cai, who was cooking porridge, was stunned when he heard this. He turned to Yan Kuan and asked, “Brother Yan, what is the meaning of this? Will those brave warriors lose their lives?”

Yan Kuan glanced at Ah Cai and nodded.

“They are the ones who are used as sacrifices. They are the pure yang sacrifices of the bones of strong men.”

“Ah?”

“What?”

Looking at the surprised looks of the two, Yan Kuan had long expected it. Even when he saw that scene, he could not believe it. There were such evil things in this world.

“Should we go and tell the chief?”

Ah Cai was a kind young man after all. Among the 49 warriors who were sent away, two or three of them were people who could talk to him. Moreover, they were all from the same village. He could not watch them die in vain.

However, Ah Gen had seen a lot. He said to Ah Cai,”No one will believe you even if you tell them. Otherwise, you would have been chosen long ago. Moreover, you forgot that the two sons of the chief were also sent away.”

Ah Cai also reacted after hearing Ah Gen’s words. Even the chief had sent his two sons away. If he told the chief that those people were all going to die… He estimated that he would be the first one to be killed by the clansmen.

“But are we not going to care? What are those people going to do? Why did the prophet do this?”

“Only when there is something to ask for will there be something to do.”

“Sigh, this way, even if our village is preserved, it will be considered to have destroyed half of our foundation.”

Ah Gen sat helplessly on the small stool. Yan Kuan looked at them and said to them,”You two don’t have to go up the mountain tonight. An An’s mother and I will go in your place.”

“Won’t we be discovered?”

“The night is the best disguise. The path up the mountain is rugged, so we won’t be discovered.”

Hearing Yan Kuan’s words, Ah Gen and Ah Cai both knew that he was saving their lives. How could they disagree? They thought for a moment, nodded, and said:

“Thank you, An An’s father. Sigh, I’m really frustrated. Isn’t our village supposed to be safe and stable? Why must that prophet be like this? What king? If there really is one, why would he wait for a thousand years and not appear? I think this prophet is probably here for those ancient tombs.”

Hearing Ah Cai’s rare complaint, Yan Kuan asked,”You guys have been guarding this ancient tomb for a thousand years. It’s not surprising that someone is eyeing it.”

“That’s right. This ancient tomb has been there for a thousand years. It’s not surprising that these people are eyeing it.”

“But I know that this ancient tomb has a passageway that leads to the outside world. My parents found two outsiders there previously. Otherwise, my parents wouldn’t have died.”

Ah Cai’s sudden words startled everyone. There was a passage? What was going on?

Ah Cai saw that everyone was looking at him, so he put down the spoon in his hand and said,”My parents told me to keep this in my stomach for the rest of my life. I originally thought that I would take Uncle Gen and Ah Tawa out through that passage, but now that so many things have happened, I didn’t mention it anymore. But I thought that I couldn’t let Ah Tawa fake her death forever. I still wanted to wait for the ceremony to end before taking you there.”

“Oh? Is it really a passage?”

“Yes, I’ve been in there over the years. The passage is very small and should have been created by the pangolins. However, no one probably discovered it later on, so they dug a large section and went straight through the mountain. There is also a forest outside, but the vegetation is not as dense as what we have here.”

Hearing Ah Cai’s words, Yan Kuan had already guessed that it was really a way out. Thinking of this, he said to the two of them,”If that is a way out, after the matter at night is over, Ah Cai, you will take Ah Tawa, Ah Gen, and my people out. Once we are out, my people will make good arrangements for you. Don’t worry.”

Actually, Ah Cai had said these words to seek a guarantee. After all, they were at their wit’s end in the outside world. Of course, they had to plan carefully. He could also see that this Big Brother Yan was also looking for a way out, it was better for everyone now.

Yan Kuan would not mind Ah Cai’s petty thoughts. One had to know that if a person did not have any thoughts of surviving outside, they would be eaten by others when they went out. Moreover, as an orphan that could grow up on his own, so if he did not have any thoughts… everyone did not believe it either.

After breakfast, they brought the children out to breathe in the fresh air. After playing for a while, the sound of gongs and drums rang again. This time, it was already noon. They were going to carry out the sacrifice.

Ah Cai and Ah Gen were not as anxious as they were in the morning. After all, it was losing the chance to watch someone die. If they could, they would not even want to watch, so they naturally walked out of the door slowly.

Yan Kuan had been planning something on the map with Dark 15 by the side. Shen Xiaoxiao was playing a game with the two children in the backyard. Perhaps this would be the last happy time for the family. After Yan Kuan had arranged things, he joined them.

In this small courtyard, at such a tense moment, having such a day was like a stolen time. It made people inexplicably nervous and nervous.

“Mom, I had a dream last night. About Uncle.”

Little Treasure tilted his head and said this to Shen Xiaoxiao. Da Bao was being lifted by Yan Kuan and was playing high up in the air. She did not notice what Little Treasure was saying to Shen Xiaoxiao.

However, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that this child must be missing 19, so she did not care much and said,”Then what’s wrong with Little Treasure dreaming about Uncle?”

“I dreamed that Uncle was very impressive. He was riding a big black horse that was so beautiful and tall.”

“Oh, so it turns out that our Little Treasure also wants to ride a horse? When we go back, we’ll let you ride a horse, okay?”

“Really? Can I learn how to ride a horse?”

“Of course you can learn how to ride a horse. Little Treasure can choose his own horse and take care of him. It’s like taking care of your General.”

“Okay, I’ll take good care of them.”

Shen Xiaoxiao touched the top of the child’s head. He was still a child. He dreamed of these fun things even in his dreams. However, 19’s whereabouts were unknown, and she didn’t know how he was doing. If he was really that king… Then what would happen to 19 in the future?

“Mommy, Uncle said that I am a little prince.”

“Yes, aren’t you a little prince? Little Treasure is a little prince, Da Bao is a little princess. You will always be Daddy and Mommy’s treasures.”

Shen Xiaoxiao did not care about Little Treasure’s words. Instead, she hugged her little prince and said these words with great heartache. Children will always be the little princess and little prince in the hearts of their parents.

Little Treasure really wanted to tell his mother. His uncle had also said that he wanted him to inherit the throne. However, his mother seemed unhappy. He did not dare to speak anymore. Instead, he hugged Shen Xiaoxiao and snuggled in his mother’s embrace.

Ever since his father came back, he had not been hugged by his mother for a long time. Every time his mother wanted to hug him, his father would carry him in advance. Da Bao could always snuggle in his mother’s embrace, but he could only stay in his father’s embrace. It was really unfair. Moreover, his father’s body was always hard. It was not as comfortable as his mother’s embrace.

“What are you talking about? Little Treasure, come over and hug me.”

Look, it was indeed like that. His father just could not bear to see him stay in his mother’s arms. He did not want it. He wanted his mother to hug him today. Little Treasure glanced at Yan Kuan and hugged Shen Xiaoxiao even more tightly. Yan Kuan looked at his son… His heart was filled with jealousy. He put down his daughter and walked over to pick up the stinky brat. How could his wife carry another man? Absolutely not!
