Chapter 219: The Truth About Salt Lake
Zhou Da hurried back to the woman's residence, and before he entered the door, he heard the woman's whimper, Zhou Da really didn't know how sad the woman would be if he told the woman what he had seen and heard, so he had to whisper: "I saw your husband on the river......"
The woman came to Zhou Da's side very excitedly: "What did he say? Did he tell you when he came back to see me?"
Looking at her eyes so urgently, Zhou Da's heart was even more mixed, and after a long time, he shook his head: "No...... He wants to sacrifice you to the river, you can run as far as you can. ”
The woman suddenly laughed, and her smile actually added a bit of poignant: "My husband, he can say such a thing, how can he say such a thing!"
Zhou Da sighed: "Things are already like this, you don't pay attention to those who have and don't, do you want to die in the river?"
The woman shook her head slowly, she covered her face with her sleeves, and suddenly knelt in front of Zhou Da: "I know, what I am going to say next is indeed excessive, but I still want to beg you, take me to meet my husband, I want to know, why is he so cruel, why does he take away all my hope." ”
Zhou Da was really speechless, but in the end, he still agreed to the woman's request: "I can take you there, but if you really die, I am not responsible." ”
He tried his best to relieve the discomfort in his heart, and took the woman and hurried to the riverbank, where many people were already surrounded,* and in the midst of the crowd, he said something impassionedly, and Zhou Da cried out, "I have brought your wife." ”
For a while, everyone looked behind Zhou Da, and the woman still covered her terrible face with her sleeves. The man's face changed suddenly, and he jumped down from the high platform: "Why are you here, what do you want to do?"
"I'm afraid this woman is not crazy, why is she here to be scary?"
"I've never heard of someone rushing to die, it's scary. ”
"Hurry up and throw her into the river, just by looking at her like she is going to die, you know that this is a monster. ”
Everyone looked at the woman with the eyes of a monster, and the woman could only squeeze Zhou Da's sleeve tightly: "They ...... Why do they have so much malice towards me?"
Zhou Da sighed, this kind woman didn't even know that the so-called malice is something that can be released without any conditions, and these people, usually in the fields, are also so-called good people, they just become so mad when facing the weak.
When a person's vanity can be satisfied for a moment, he does not care about it, and the release of malice is also a manifestation of satisfaction. "Brother Shun, this monster-like woman, where did you bring it back? ”
"yes, this monster should be killed quickly. The man, who was called Shun, walked over step by step: "Our village has been tormented by flooding for many years, should you, as my wife, sacrifice it?"
The woman's gentle gaze fell on the man, and she suddenly lowered her hand, allowing her terrible face full of eyes to appear in front of everyone: "I know, you all hate me, and even regard me as a monster, but you ask this man, why did he bring me back, and what was the reason!"
The woman's voice was like gold falling to the ground: "Tell everyone your story in the salt lake!"
"Salt lake, isn't that where you went to transport salt last year?"
A woman's high-pitched voice rang out: "Didn't you damn ghost tell me that nothing happened?"
It turned out that this village was short of salt for many years, and there was no way, so it had to send a group of strong men to the salt lake every year, and then bring back the crystalline salt next to the salt lake, and Shun was the leader in the process of transporting salt. From Zhou Da's point of view, for a while, many people sneaked out of the crowd, obviously, they were weak and afraid.
"Brother Hu, stop, you were in the salt lake at the time, didn't you see it too?"
"What did I see?"
The man surnamed Hu paused suddenly: "Brother and sister, I didn't see it clearly at the time, I really don't know." ”
This man had just asked for the woman to be sacrificed to the river in great anger, but now his attitude has changed so much. "What the hell have you done, but you said!"
The woman next to her grabbed Lao Hu's ear, and the man surnamed Hu was forced to be anxious and shouted: "There is a monster in that water! It was my brother and sister who saved us! Ah Shun agreed to marry this woman in order to repay his kindness!"
"Is this true?" for a while, all the women in the village were asking about their husbands, and they even revered the woman a little, and were very grateful for the woman's kindness.
Shun said viciously: "You forced me to marry you, who would want a monster as a wife?"
He suddenly raised his hand, and there seemed to be a shiny thing in his hand: "You see, these are scales taken off her body, this monster is not human at all!"
This time, the woman was completely disappointed, she slowly shook her head: "You are lying again, what you are holding in your hand is my immortal scale, and it is also my most precious scale, if you didn't coax me, how could I give you the most precious thing of my Divine Fish Clan?"
As soon as they heard the word immortality, the villagers boiled again, in this world, life is not long or short, but there are many people, there are many regrets, because there is no time, it is too late to complete, but if you have immortal scales, you don't have to worry about these problems.
Zhou Da suddenly understood what the treasure enshrined in this different space was, it was this immortal scale.
For a while, Shun became the target of everyone's attack. "I didn't expect this kid to do so many bad things, I still believe him!"
"Are the Immortal Scales really that godly?"
"This kid is really in the midst of blessings and doesn't know how to be blessed!"
Shun's face was painful and hideous: "I remember! She once said that as long as you eat a spoonful of her meat, you can live forever!"
Everyone was confused by the desire for immortality, they rushed to the woman's side, wanting to eat the woman, their eyes were full of resentment and fanaticism, as if this woman had taken away their chance to live forever, and Shun took advantage of the fact that there were more people who slipped out, and was about to smear oil on the soles of their feet and slip away as soon as possible, Zhou Da stopped him: "Hand over the immortal scales!"
"You pretend to be a loner, but in reality, you want this scale, too!"
"Yes, I want this scale. ”
Zhou Da admitted very generously: "But in comparison, I want your shameless life even more!"
