Chapter 170: Listen to persuasion
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling lived in the village chief's house.
But they are not honest.
In the room, he quietly plans to explore the secrets of the village.
It was late at night, and Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling quietly opened the door.
There was silence outside, and the two of them felt their breathing become clear.
Ye Youhuan gave Zhong Ling a look and reminded Zhong Ling again not to alarm the village chief and his grandson.
Zhong Ling nodded understandingly, different from Ye Youhuan's serious face, Zhong Ling smiled very brightly, she regarded tonight's events as an adventure, and liked this tense and exciting feeling very much.
Walking out of the backyard, Ye Youhuan took Zhong Ling to tiptoe along the alley and into the front yard.
There is no side door or side door in the courtyard of the village chief's house, and if you want to go out, you must enter the front yard where the village chief's grandchildren are resting.
Fortunately, the front yard was pitch black and silent, and the grandfather and grandson should have slept a long time ago.
After Ye Youhuan entered the front yard, he first glanced at the bedroom where the village chief's ancestor and grandson lived.
The door was closed without any problems.
Ye Youhuan's heart was relieved.
When he turned his head to look at the door, he was suddenly startled.
There was a red bright spot at the doorway, red and red, suspended in the air.
Ye Youhuan looked at it and found that there was a person sitting there at the door, holding a long cigarette stick in his hand, and the red highlight was the fire that burned in his pipe when he smoked.
Why did the village chief sit at the door in the middle of the night?
Ye Youhuan walked over and asked curiously, "Old man, why don't you sleep so late." ”
The village chief took a sharp puff of his cigarette and spit it out again, and said, "If it weren't for the two of you, how could I have frozen here in the middle of the night." ”
"Haha......" Ye Youhuan smiled awkwardly.
"Shhhhh ”
"That's right!" Zhong Ling took a step forward and said, "Can you let us go out and take a look around?" ”
"Nope." The village chief said: "It will be dangerous to go out now. ”
"We ......"
Zhong Ling wanted to say that she and Ye Youhuan were not afraid of danger, but before they could speak, they were interrupted by the village chief.
The village chief said, "Come with me to the backyard, and I will tell you what is going on in our village." ”
At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the door.
"Whoa—rustle—"
It was as if there were countless animals rubbing against the ground.
"Come with me, or I won't have time to tell you."
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling glanced at each other, and could see that they were very hesitant about each other, whether to open the door and check regardless of the village chief's words, or to listen to what the village chief had to say?
"Even if you go out and look, you won't be able to understand the truth of the matter." The village chief said, "And if you have to check it, I won't tell you the ins and outs." ”
"Let's hear what the village chief has to say." Ye Youhuan persuaded Zhong Ling, he knew that Zhong Ling wanted to open the door immediately.
"Ahh
However, Zhong Ling finally listened to Ye Youhuan's words, and they followed the village chief into the backyard.
Entering the room, the village chief closed the door.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhong Ling asked impatiently.
"Don't worry." Village An caressed Zhong Ling's emotions and said: "Because of the review mechanism, the content of some chapters is too sensitive and has been rudely deleted. ”
"Say it quickly." Zhong Ling was also afraid that the village chief would lie to them and say that telling the truth of the matter was just to delay time.
"I didn't ask you to see it, I was saving your lives and the lives of the villagers." The village chief said.
"Why?" Ye Youhuan asked curiously.
"Because Kosla, the god of our village, is eating." The village chief said.
"Gods...... Khosla? Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling were confused.
"That's right." "Our village has been worshipping the god of the sea for generations, and it blesses our fishing boats from the storm when they return safely from the sea," said the village chief. ”
"Has anyone seen the sea god?" Zhong Ling asked.
"Yes." The old village chief looked frightened and said, "Basically everyone who has seen the sea god has died, and only one child survived, describing the appearance of the sea god. ”
"And what does the sea god look like?" Zhong Ling asked curiously.
"There are statues of it everywhere in our village, and I think you've seen them." The village chief said.
"It's the big snake with eyes all over its body?" Thinking of the image of the village sea god, Zhong Ling felt a chill.
"That's right." The village chief nodded.
"That monster was just outside the door?" Zhong Ling was very afraid.
"That's right." The village chief said: "We worship it every night, we put food on plates, and the sea god eats all the food offered by everyone in the middle of the night. ”
"Cousin, I'm a little scared." Zhong Ling rarely showed a timid look.
"Afraid of what?" Ye Youhuan said: "Have you forgotten that you are also a giant monster?" ”
"Originally, I was afraid of snakes, let alone such a big snake, and its eyes were still dense, it was really scary." Zhong Ling said soberly.
"It's scary." Ye Youhuan asked, "But are you going to give up, don't you go and see that monster with your own eyes......"
"This ......" Zhong Ling's heart swayed, and he was in a dilemma.
The village chief suddenly spoke on the side: "The sea god Kosla has a very bad temper, everyone who has seen it has been killed by it, and in the past two or three hundred years, only one person has survived. ”
"Is the man still in the village?" Ye Youhuan asked curiously.
"It's long gone." The village chief said: "But his teachings have been passed down to the present, that is, fishermen should put the silverback fish caught during fishing outside the door at night to worship the god of the sea, and no one should go out at night, if anyone sees the god of the sea, not only his own life is at risk, but his family may be affected by him." ”
"Big cousin, let's not look at it." Ye Youhuan persuaded, there are many things in this world that humans can't explain, since it is a ferocious monster, there is no need to provoke it.
"Okay." Zhong Ling heard Ye Youhuan's words and made a decision.
When the village chief heard Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling say this, he was finally relieved.
Telling the two to rest early, the village chief left.
Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling slept in the innermost part and didn't say anything all night.
On the second day, Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling almost woke up together.
went out to look for the village chief, and went to the house where the village chief lived, Ye Youhuan saw an old man and a young man eating breakfast.
"You two are here just in time, sit down and eat together." There were dishes and chopsticks on the table, which the village chief had prepared for the two of them.
