The 558th round
To the south-southwest is a semi-developed town, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The surrounding mountains are undulating and distinctly layered.
In a quiet forest outside the town, a vast and rushing river poured down from a fault in the mountains that resembled the mouth of a pot, making a loud noise and splashing water.
Loved-hated by locals, the waterfall is a sight to behold on weekdays and a great place for nearby teenagers to have a picnic.
Once the fire starts, it ruthlessly destroys everything in the nearby towns and villages, and even takes people's most precious lives.
However, since a major disaster occurred four years ago, there have been few major floods in recent years, and the locals are quite relieved.
Some people say that in ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river, natural disasters will not always come in the same place, but will definitely move to other places.
There is no scientific basis for ideas, and it is pure nonsense.
Some people also say that it is because the local people are broken up every year by disasters, life and death, and people's cries and sorrows arouse the mercy of the river gods, and they give shelter every year so that everyone can live and work here in peace and contentment.
For example, the five magical boats that appeared in the catastrophic disaster four years ago, and the strange woman who appeared in the river to bathe and play one night during the second year's celebration, taking advantage of the crowd to disperse.
It was this woman's appearance that made everyone initially believe that it was the river god who saved them.
Because in the hearts of the older generation, the river god is the embodiment of the creatures that live in the river.
According to eyewitnesses, the woman's face shone with scales, her ears spread back like fish fins, she was not afraid of people and did not hurt people, and when she realized that she was being seen, she only glanced back, and then sank to the bottom of the river and never came up again.
Some say that she is the embodiment of the river god, who was brought up by the sound of celebrations on the shore.
Many elderly people have told the juniors in their families not to stay by the river after the daily celebration is over, so as not to disturb the interest of the river god to go ashore to watch the lanterns and play.
However, this claim is simply nonsense in the eyes of some. Especially the students who have returned from studying in the past few years, and some people who have come to seek children, marriage, health and longevity.
"What god is there? Every year, I don't see her bless my child to be admitted to a key university, which blinds me to a lot of effort. ”
"That's it, when I was pregnant last year, my mother-in-law and I came to give birth to a son, but my daughter didn't have the face to see anyone......"
After all, the actual acts of destruction are the work of rebellious young people.
Since this is a new legend, the younger generation did not take it seriously and started to cause trouble during last year's festival.
They say that since everyone likes superstition, it ******** traditional habit to simply be obsessed with it. What is the use of hanging lanterns, putting lanterns, and offering flowers? Since ancient times, worshipping gods must be three animals to see sincerity, especially life sacrifices.
So, last year, some young people mischievously caught raw chickens, ducks, mice, and even cats and dogs, cut their necks on the shore and bleed them into the river. Some even threw bloody raw meat of various sizes into the river, forcibly turning a lively and festive celebration into chicken feathers and duck blood, making the river like a bloody hell.
Some of the lanterns in the river were smashed and sunk by raw meat, and some half-hung a small piece of raw meat went down the river, and I don't know where it flowed.
Someone went to stop it, and as a result, there was bloodshed in the humiliated fight, and the police had to intervene to mediate the aftermath. For this reason, the two years of celebration were not satisfactory, and there were frequent clashes between the faithful and the common people during the celebration, which was contrary to the peaceful atmosphere of the past.
This year is the same, but not as intense as last year.
Due to last year's bloody farce, no gods came out to defend their followers, resulting in many fewer people coming to participate in the celebration this year, and the dispute between the two sides broke up not long after.
Before nine o'clock in the evening, the lanterns were still hanging high by the river, and the lanterns were flowing downstream, but there was no one on the bank.
“…… Really, how can anyone come here to confess? What did he think? It's full of blood, I don't know if it has attracted strange things, unlucky......"
The little girl next to her was shocked when she heard it, "Bah, don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about that at night, you forgot?" Spit and repeat. ”
On the bank of the river, two junior high school girls whispered, and after a while, they started playing, and there was silence all around, and the little girls' voices were particularly loud.
Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, it was past ten o'clock.
"Ah Xiu, is Ah Yong playing with you? It's been so long and you haven't been here? Yes, let's go, let's go back. ”
"Hey don't," the little girl squirmed and grabbed her friend, embarrassed to explain for the other party, "Wait, in fact, the time he made an appointment is eleven o'clock......" She was anxious and had a hidden expectation, and couldn't help but pull her best friend to come over in advance.
Originally, people only asked her to be one, and the little girl was shy, and she was not sure whether to agree to let her best friend come out to be brave.
The best friend glanced at her, "I have helped others before I started, and I will tell you that it is not uncommon for boys to make girls wait." Doesn't he have better grades, play better, and have a better family? You two haven't done anything to protect him like this, and sooner or later you'll have to suffer. ”
The little girl was anxious, "I don't mean that to him, just, he, maybe he has something to find me." ”
In the end, it is better to help him, and the IQ of people who fall in love will definitely drop.
The girlfriend rolled her eyes to the sky and faced the river.
"Alas, it would be nice if there was really a river god in the river, bless me with a good score in the college entrance examination next year."
"Do you still believe this? Ayong said that this is a propaganda campaign carried out by the government to develop tourism, and we have not seen the blessing of God before the perennial floods here, which are all fake. ”
"But my grandfather said that I was rescued by the river god when I was a child......"
At this time, a chuckle came from behind the two:
"Oh? Is it? I'd love to see it. ”
The sudden sound startled the two girls, and when they looked back, they saw that it was a thin boy with glasses standing five meters away looking at them and smiling slightly.
Under the reflection of the colorful lights on the shore, his eyes were different, and the corners of his mouth with a smile were slightly weird.
How so? Some butchers sharpen their knives to the self-confidence and ease of the pigs and sheep.
"You...... Isn't Ayong's big brother? The little girl and her best friend were full of suspicions, "What about Ayong?" Why didn't he come? "It's so tasteless! If he doesn't come, he doesn't even have an apology call, what's the matter with letting his eldest brother come?
"He's been in town with his friends for several days and hasn't come back." The boy explained patiently.
Going into town to play? The two little girls looked at each other in astonishment.
The little girl blushed anxiously, took out her mobile phone and flipped through the messages, "No, it's obvious that he asked me to wait for him here." ”
"It's not him, it's me."
The boys' words made the girls puzzled, and the girlfriends' brains turned fast and their eyes were ambiguous. looked at each other ambiguously, and then looked at his friend with a wicked smile, which suddenly made the little girl blush.
Compared with his young peers, of course, the mature and stable and polite eldest brother is more attractive.
Moreover, the big brother next door with the little girl has always been the best cp combination in the minds of junior high school girls.
"Zhi, Brother Zhiwen, what did you ask me about?" The little girl lowered her head and snorted, her expression twisted. (To be continued.) )
