Chapter 4 Escape
The arm has exhausted the last of its strength, and it can't move, and a lot of fishy river water has been poured into his mouth, Du Wanwan's consciousness has begun to blur, and the stones are restraining Du Wanwan's body, even if he wants to make a head on the surface of the river at this moment and take a breath, it is a luxury.
Is it just dead? The joy when the system was turned on has not completely dissipated, and now it is facing the crisis of death. Why didn't she do anything bad, God wanted to make her fate like this, even if she opened the golden finger to cross once, she had to be the bride of the unwarranted Hebo!
Where is this for Hebo to be a bride? This is clearly for fish and shrimp dessert!
The strong unwillingness drove Du Wanwan's last consciousness and burst out of infinite survival**. There are a lot of undercurrents in the river, and the river is flowing very fast, if it weren't for the stone on his feet, Du Wanwan would have been washed downstream.
Fighting with the last bit of strength, Du bent and struggled at the bottom of the river, and touched his waist again. Suddenly, there was a pain in my hand, and it turned out that I had touched the blade of a knife. Enduring the pain, he pulled the dagger out, but because of the weakness of his palm, he almost let the dagger fall to the bottom of the river.
Du bent his ten fingers and cooperated, and slowly cut the hemp rope on his hand with a dagger. The lungs were about to explode, but with their hands freed, the chances of Du Wanwan being rescued were much higher. Arching his body, his left hand groped for the rope on his feet in the current, and with a stroke of his right hand, the rope was cut off.
With his wet hair, Du bent bent and struggled to surface.
"Whew!"
Take a breath of fresh air, and the pain in your lungs will dissipate little by little. The wreath on Du Bend's elbow was long gone, and he withdrew the dagger in his hand into his backpack, wiped a handful of water from his face, and swam towards the river bank with all his might.
Thanks to the big rock, the location where Du bends out of the water is not too far from the place where it falls into the water. The crowd on the river bank that had not dispersed had already found Du Wanwan, and they also found boats, and after entering the water, they came in the direction of Du Wanwan.
Despite his struggles, Du felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the riverbank. This is also a matter of no choice, the river is turbulent, the torrent is rushing, not to mention that Du Wanwan is going against the water at the moment, her thin body can't resist the current at all, and she is swept by the water potential, and directly rushed downstream.
No matter how hard she struggled to move forward, the scenery on both sides of the river continued to appear in front of her from behind. She was still drifting downstream! Seeing that she was about to crash into a rock not far away, Du Wanwan scolded secretly, anxious in her heart.
Fortunately, the speed of the boat was faster, and at the moment when it was about to hit the rock, several palms grabbed Du Wanwan's slender wrist and dragged her to the boat.
Du Wanwan gasped for breath, the feeling for the rest of his life after the catastrophe was actually not good at all, the wound on his finger that was cut by the dagger was swollen and white, and he didn't know if it would be infected. In this society where medical technology is basically zero, does she have to cry because of a small wound? !
The people on the boat were very surprised, for so long, they had never seen a girl who sacrificed to Hebo come out of the water again, and this stupid girl of the Du family was really the first one.
Surprise to surprise, since he showed his head in the river, he must be saved, what if he drowned?
Forgive them for not counting the girl who drowned in the past, after all, the sorcerer had told them that the girl who sacrificed had gone to serve Hebo in the god's palace at the bottom of the river and enjoy good fortune
The ship docked, and the faces of the wizard and Muramasa were extremely ugly.
"You say, how did you come out of the river!" the village squire asked with a stern voice, glancing at the county lieutenant with a deep face.
Du Wanwan lowered his head and rolled his eyes, did he get into the bottom of the river without coming out of the river?
She doesn't believe these people, and she doesn't know where the sacrificial girls have gone, don't you see that Simon Leopard has changed Hebo's preferences by controlling the water?
"I, I" Du Wanwan deliberately didn't speak well, his eyes kept scanning everyone, and finally he said aggrievedly: "I didn't float up by myself, it was Lord Hebo who sent me up"
Fart! The wizard cursed in his heart, who said that the girl of the Du family was a fool? This stupid girl is even better than a monkey! Where is there any Hebo? Since there is no Hebo, naturally there will be no such nonsense as being sent to the surface by Hebo!
Thinking of this, the wizard's gloomy eyes glanced at the village squire and the village masa, both of these two money-greedy things, for the sake of that little money, replaced such a tricky one, and now they were all messed up in front of the county lieutenant!
Hearing Du Wanwan's words, the village squire and the village squire looked at the wizard with strange expressions. Could it be that there really is a river in this river?
The wizard's internal injuries, look at what he does!
The county lieutenant is not one of the ignorant villagers in the village, he has only been in office for two months, and he has heard about sacrifices before, and now it seems that there are a lot of things to do.
Every time a sacrifice is made, in addition to the beautiful girl, the villagers have to pay a lot of money. Naturally, these offerings will not be given to Hebo, so where did they go?
The county lieutenant sneered, paced in front of Du Wanwan, "Little lady, you said that you were sent by Hebo, so why does Hebo not like you and want to send you up? I have never heard that Hebo will refuse to sacrifice the bride." ”
Du Wanwan hooked his lips slightly, and then his face looked submissive and frightened, "Lord Hebo, he said, I look black and ugly, like a hemp stick, he doesn't like it, and"
As soon as the words changed, Du Wanwan looked at the wizard, "And Lord Hebo said that there are enough beauties in his mansion, and he wants silver money for future offerings."
Du Wanwan held back a smile, finished talking nonsense he made up seriously, and then stood quietly with his head down.
She was soaked, and she stood in the crowd and was shivering by the wind by the river, making her look even more weak and innocent.
Everyone looked at the thin and thin Du Wanwan, and they also felt that what she said made sense. A girl who looks like this, I'm afraid no one will like it. Thinking of the beautiful girl, everyone's eyes moved to Du Yu, who was supposed to be sacrificed.
If it was Du Yu who sacrificed this time, then Lord Hebo might have accepted it.
The money and silk for this worship have already been collected, if Hebo is not satisfied, then won't he have to collect it again? Looking at Du Wanwan, whose lips were purple from the cold, the simple villagers really couldn't bear to criticize her, so they could only turn their condemning eyes on Du Yu.
Du Yu felt that he was extremely aggrieved and unlucky.
In the past, not all the people who sacrificed were beautiful women! Why didn't I see Lord Hebo picking his mouth? But it was the turn of this mourning star to be sent back, and it was really full of bad luck, and even Lord Hebo had to retreat!
The county lieutenant looked at everyone's reaction and coughed softly, "Okay, since Hebo doesn't like it, forget it." What do you see, wizard, since Hebo said that he didn't want a bride anymore, then don't do this sacrifice again. ”
The wizard was anxious in his heart, and he wanted to stop talking, if he cut off this financial route, who would he rely on to raise the beautiful concubines in his family!
Seeing that the wizard refused to let go, the county lieutenant suddenly covered his face with a layer of frost, "What, does the wizard want to go down to the river in person to ask what kind of beauty Hebo likes?"
The wizard was shocked, and just wanted to confess, but who knew what the county lieutenant would say next, so he shut up directly and didn't dare to say anything.
"Or, wizard, do you want to serve in Hebo personally? If the wizard has this intention, I will definitely report it to the county magistrate when I go back to the mansion. ”
The wizard was covered in cold sweat and suddenly fell silent. No matter how beautiful the concubine is, she has to have a life to enjoy it!
The county lieutenant subdued the wizard, and then looked at the silent village and the village gentry, and then dispersed everyone satisfied, and went home.
Du Wanwan escaped, and the coldness and fatigue of his body had reached its peak. When she was sure that she would not be sacrificed again, her eyes went black and she fainted.
