Chapter 67: Burial of Red Dust
We finally left the hotel and headed for the villa.
Lifting the curse in my body is the only hope.
As we walked slowly through the village, I noticed that the whole village was dark even during the day.
It's as if the very negative thoughts of the people in this village have swallowed up the whole sun.
There is an eerie feeling in the middle of the day.
As we were heading out, I happened to meet the four of them.
But for some reason, the group changed course, saying that they were going to explore around the village.
But for the time being, we're parting ways.
Judging from the map, it took us about two hours to walk to the place where the villa was built in the middle of nowhere.
Although it seems to be part of the interior of the village from the map, it is actually very far away.
We felt that this donkey cart was relatively old, so Wang Ruohan added a little money, found a villager in the market, and spent a carriage.
There are very few people in this village who trade with the outside world, as if they are closed off from the country, and they don't know much about market prices.
So we bought a horse almost at a very cheap price.
The steed was very honest and did not resist at all when he put it on the carriage.
With this steed, we can get to our goal faster.
It's just that on the way, we encountered such a strange thing.
It was already more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time I saw a large number of villagers lined up in a sedan chair and walking towards the river.
I thought it was whose family got married, so I didn't care, but at this time I found out that they were not right, because each of them was playing suona and suona music, and it didn't seem to be some marriage music.
It's a bit like mourning!
I feel quite strange to see this scene, if something happens to someone's family, then one by one wearing bright clothes, it is not the same thing.
And I saw that the sedan chair was shaking from side to side.
It's as if there's something inside that wants to come out.
Wang Ruohan felt curious, and he had to go and see what he said.
We parked the carriage in an inconspicuous place, got out of the carriage and followed each other, and it was not long before we saw them come to the river.
There is such a river in this village, and the water in the middle of the river is fierce.
The waves continue to flow into the distance.
When I saw this scene, I followed curiously, but fortunately, there were many onlookers around, and I was not one of them.
When I walked nearby, I saw a surprising scene, and I saw that the gang actually took out a black box.
It looked a bit like an urn.
The gang grabbed the urn and threw handfuls of petals into the river.
And there seemed to be something in their mouths, and at the same time, many villagers knelt by the river and kept worshipping.
After a while, someone lifted the sedan chair and grabbed the people inside, and then I found that the bride was really weird.
He was dressed as a bride, but he had a sack on his head, and the man was still struggling.
The bride's hands were tied behind her back.
They pushed the bride to the river, and I saw this scene as well.
I used to read in books that some of the older villages were very superstitious, and they actually threw people alive into the river, which was regarded as a memorial.
Seeing this scene, I was so angry that I walked straight over.
At this moment they pushed the bride to the river, and at the same time took off the sack from her head, and I was frightened at first sight.
Good guys, the people of this village actually kidnapped one of the four college students.
This girl seems familiar to me, it is Bai Xue.
In other words, Bai Xue is also stubborn, and he is still scolding in this situation.
I wanted to watch a villager push the snow and was about to throw it into the river, so I went up and kicked the villager down.
Suddenly, I pulled Bai Xue and said, "How did you get here? What the hell is going on!"
Bai Xue saw me panting and replied, "The four of us were exploring around here, and someone attacked me from behind and kidnapped me!"
Before I could speak, I saw the villagers around me running one by one, and their faces were menacing, and they wanted to push us into the water.
One of the villagers, who was still holding a stick in his hand, called me when he saw me, but unfortunately my two daughters-in-law could not show up during the day.
I used both hands to block, and it turned out that the stick was really ruthless, and it was actually solid.
I felt like my arms were swollen.
Bai Xue next to me suddenly bit the other person, and the villager screamed and immediately took a step back.
As a result, one accidentally fell directly into the river.
At this time, the villagers who said they wanted to attack us suddenly stopped.
One of the first people carrying a sedan chair came over to look at the surging river, turned back and said to everyone, "This year's sacrifice has been put into the river, so let this girl go!"
As I had said this, I saw that the people in the village were scattered one by one, each doing their own thing as if they were all right.
I can tell from their consciousness that they seem to be pushing a person into the river every year.
And it should be both men and women, and now a person has fallen, so it is no longer difficult for us.
I really want to beat them up, but unfortunately there are only two people around me now, and they are both girls.
So more is better than less, and I'm not a fool.
I rescued Bai Xue and helped him to the carriage, and that's how I knew.
There is a rule in that village called burying Hongchen!
It's just to let the old monsters in the villa breathe a little less yang.
So every year, you have to push a person into the river, which is considered a contribution to this old monster.
This person can be young and old, but the people in their village usually give preference to outsiders.
So these four college students became the primary target.
Bai Xue and the others were inexplicably captured in the process of exploring, and if I hadn't saved them in time, they would have been buried in the river long ago!
By the time I said this, I was already furious.
Since there is such a rule, it means that it is not the first time, and there may be many people who have lost their lives because of this incident.
I got into the carriage and called the police immediately, but it was very far from the nearest policeman, and the road was winding, so the police informed us that it would take about three or four days to arrive.
This situation is truly hopeless.
