Chapter 1196: River God (6)

In the afternoon, when everything was ready for the sacrifice, the village chief gathered the people again and gave another advice.

The people of the village have arrived.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not very good, and the scene was quiet except for the village chief's speech.

The villagers wore clothes with more than a dozen patches and torn cloth shoes, but the altar was full of grain and livestock, two extreme phenomena, which made people look ironic and sad.

Su Li was pushed and stood at the front, beside her was a little boy and a little girl, the two held hands, and whispered a few words from time to time.

That little girl should be the little girl that Xiao Tong said.

Xiaoli is a very thin girl, her hair is yellow, there is no flesh on her little face, and her eyes are extraordinarily big.

Her other hand tugged at her mother's dress.

Seeing Su Li look over, Xiaoli's mother looked numb, only her eyes turned, so that people would not think that this was a dummy.

On the other side of the wizened woman was a husband with a sweat towel around his neck.

Xiaoli's mother's gaze only fluctuated when she turned to her husband, like a pool of stagnant water.

Her husband caressed her shoulders and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad, Xiaoli can't see you like this... In the future, when we have another son, we will send him away from afar....."

The latter words, Su Li couldn't hear clearly, and the voices of the two were too low, like whispering in secret.

These words brought Xiaoli's mother's spirit back to life, and her body involuntarily moved closer to her husband.

Only Su Li noticed that the little girl next to her had been pulling her mother's dress with her hand, scared and lost.

Xiao Tong sensitively sensed his little friend's emotions, hesitated for a while, and then put it into Xiao Li's ear, and said softly: "My mother said that she would not give me to the river god, she must have a way." “

After speaking, soon the little boy was annoyed again, and he peeked at Su Li's expression with a weak heart, and regretted it a little.

My mother told him that this was a secret between the two, why didn't he help telling Xiaoli just now.

Xiaoli also looked at Su Li in surprise, her eyes full of envy and longing.

"Your mother is so good to you. "Although her mother also loves her, but because she is a girl, her mother is always not as attentive to him as the little boy girl. If my father and mother have a younger brother in the future, maybe I will slowly forget about her.

Xiaoli was uncomfortable for a while, and quickly cheered up again to convince herself, isn't this exactly what she hoped, her father and mother will not be so sad, and they will always be fine.

Of course, Su could hear the secret words between the two children, but she didn't say anything, she just didn't know.

Her attention was focused on a certain direction in the crowd.

"Are you looking at?"

Zheng Qiu seemed to be ghostly, squeezing away the people on the side and coming to Su Li.

Following Su Li's line of sight, he also looked over, and said diligently to find a topic: "It's a pity, Xu Niangzi fell in the house last night, Brother Zheng Rong happened to have something to do in the main family and went to the town, but he couldn't be at home, and the fetus of two or three months was gone." “

"When Brother Zheng Rong goes back in the morning, the are still lying on the ground in the house, it's a pity..... It's been a long time since there has been a new life in our village, and this continues...."

Saying this, Zheng Qiu suddenly found that he had talked too much, and he quickly stopped talking, embarrassed and no longer intended to be close to Su again.

If Su Li is not mistaken, this bloodless face and shaky is one of the figures she vaguely saw last night.

With her brisk and steady pace last night, she shouldn't have been that delicate.

In addition to the original owner, the women and daughters-in-law in the village, which one does not have a sturdy body, not to mention that the baby in the belly will be lost after a fall, or a few rolls on the ground, maybe at most a little fetal gas.

In the past, the daughters-in-law in the village did not work until they were born, and some of them gave birth directly in the field, just like a hen laying eggs.

Su Li guessed that maybe it was the herself who got the lump of meat in her stomach.

In the evening, her suspicions were confirmed.

In the hidden trees, the subtle distortion of the firelight swayed the faces and shadows of people, like mountain ghosts and wild ghosts.

The I had seen in the daytime were dressed in gray and white clothes, kneeling on the ground, shedding tears in a fluttering manner, and constantly throwing yellow paper and paper clothes into the fire.

"Don't blame my mother, my mother didn't want you because she had to do it, if you want to blame it, blame Zheng Rong, this beast, he lied to me, deceived me. “

"What did he lie to you?"

Coldly hearing a voice behind her, the was so frightened that she almost screamed, but fortunately, she quickly reacted and realized that her behavior was sneaky, and covered her mouth in time, leaving only the sound of heavy ho-ho breathing.

Su Li kicked the fire with his toes, stuffed the small paper clothes that had slipped outside back into the fire, and then repeated the sentence just now, "What did he lie to you?"

When saw that it was Su Li, her vigilant heart was half lowered, and her frightened emotions returned to calm, but she still didn't want to deal with Su Li.

Only sneered: "You'll know later." “

Just don't trust yourself?

Su Li stood silently with the light on his back, just watching the sit on her knees and finish burning things.

The's face looked a little uglier than just now, and when she straightened up, a small piece of dirt was stained on the back skirt.

Su Li suddenly remembered that the had just finished giving birth, and now she was in the middle of the small month, and her body was the most loss-making.

When leaving, Xu Niangzi suddenly stopped, did not look back, and her voice was extremely cold, "Don't trust any man in Zhengjia Village." “

When the sky was darkest at night, the white lady who was supposed to be sleeping sneaked over again, "Have you thought about it?"

Su Li didn't answer, but just pointed: "Don't let hatred blind your heart." “

Whoever bears the most sin, some may also be innocent.

The white lady glanced at Su Li deeply, and didn't say anything, as if she had never appeared.

On the third day, when the sky was bright, the gongs and drums in the village began.

The festival begins in earnest until nightfall, when the day is lively, and the day is not until the last rays of light are worn off when the offerings are carried into the river temple.

The river god would go to enjoy the offerings of the villagers at night.

All night, all the doors and windows of Zhengjia Village will be closed, and even the occasional barking dog and cat barking will disappear until the next day, when the rooster crows open, and the forbidden night is over.
