Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hebo Sacrifices His Daughter
As for those cloths, Luo Hui was troublesome, so he returned them all to Chang Kun and gave him some sweetness. He personally selected fifty slightly stronger military households, escorted five carts of munitions, and about 80,000 taels of silver stolen from the bandits and the guards. The remaining military households also let them continue to farm in the households.
The group left Qinghe County in a mighty way.
In the afternoon, the procession reached the river.
Qiu Ming ran to Luo Hui's side: "My lord, our convoy of the suspension bridge in front of us has passed, I'm afraid the bridge can't bear it!" β
Luo Hui: "Then walk along the river and see, there is always a bridge that can be crossed, if you really don't have it, then look for a ferry!" β
The team turned and headed down the river.
After a while, I saw a large group of people gathered together.
Luo Hui didn't plan to stay, but the princess accidentally saw it in the car and hurriedly stopped.
Then he got out of the car: "Luo Hui, accompany Princess Ben to have a look!" β
Luo Huihe had no choice but to stop the team and dismount to accompany the princess.
The two approached the crowd and saw an old woman standing in the middle, and ten female disciples in yellow robes and robes standing behind them. She held the bell in her hand, shook it properly, and said something in her mouth.
"Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Master Hebo, please calm your anger and bless you with good weather next yearΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Luo Hui, look, what is that, there seems to be a person on it!"
Luo Hui followed the princess's hand and saw a bamboo raft floating on the river, and it seemed that there was a girl on the bamboo raft. The raft seemed to be about to disperse, and the people on it were afraid that they would fall into the water and drown.
Luo Hui looked at everyone's indifferent eyes again, and already understood a little in his heart!
He hurriedly took off his coat, and a thump plunged into the water and disappeared.
The people were talking for a while: "What is he doing here?" β
The princess watched Luo Hui disappear into the water, and her heart was full of anxiety.
"This guy, if you don't know water, don't be strong!"
She took a few steps forward, Zhou Yaowu's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly grabbed the princess: "Princess, don't be impulsive!" β
Princess Changping was in a hurry: "I just want to see clearly, you guys go and save him!" β
Zhou Yaowu and Jiang Wucheng cried with sad faces: "We don't know water!" β
Princess Changping was so anxious that she cried: "Luo Hui, come back soon, please, I won't be angry with you anymore!" β
I don't know if it was Princess Changping's prayer, but a human head was already exposed in the water in the distance.
Luo Hui struggled in the turbulent river, and the bamboo raft was almost dispersed in the turbulent river.
Luo Hui was in a hurry, and he tried his best to sprint towards the bamboo raft.
A delicate-looking girl in costume, about fourteen or fifteen years old, sat on a bamboo raft shivering, her face full of tears and helplessness.
However, Zhanghe would not sympathize with her, and the bamboo raft cracked in the middle.
The desperate girl fell into the river, and the water poured into her stomach, and the cold water quickly made her unconscious.
Luo Hui grabbed a floating bamboo pole and held it hard, and finally reached the girl's side.
He picked up the girl from behind, carried her to the surface, and swam back with all his might.
After a while, Luo Hui swam to the shore and laid the girl flat on the ground.
He looked at the princess: "Quick, she's choking, come and push her breasts!" β
Princess Changping paused, but still walked over.
Luo Hui crossed her hands on the girl's chest: "Press hard!" β
The princess tried to push hard, but there was no response. Luo Hui grabbed her hand: "So hard!" β
The two pressed it a few times, and the girl finally spit out a mouthful of water. Continuing to press down, I finally spit out the water in my trachea.
The girl woke up slowly, but the goddess came over, and the girl fainted in fright when she saw the goddess.
The goddess looked at Luo Hui: "Okay, you scoundrel, you dare to destroy Hebo's family affairs, you are simply impatient!" β
Luo Hui glared at the goddess angrily: "You asked this girl to be released into the river?" β
"Yes, the reason why the Zhanghe River is flooded this year is because it has not been a woman to Hebo for a long time!"
Luo Hui: "How do you know that Hebo needs a woman to marry?" β
The goddess shook her bell: "The old body can communicate with Hebo, so he naturally knows!" β
"Okay, I see that this girl is still young, I'm afraid I can't satisfy Hebo, why don't you go down and discuss with Hebo first, how about changing someone!"
Before the goddess could say a word, she was lifted down the Zhanghe River by Luo Hui.
The crowd erupted in exclamations, and a gentleman walked up to Luo Hui: "In broad daylight, how dare you harm someone's life!" β
Luo Hui sneered: "The goddess said that she could communicate with Hebo, so I sent her there." Hey, why hasn't she come back yet! β
The gentry was indignant: "Nonsense, how can there be a reason to jump into the river to communicate with the goddess?" β
Luo Hui shook his head: "Then how can there be a reason to send a girl to sink into the river and marry Uncle He!" β
"You are really messing around, sending a girl to Hebo is a rule handed down from ancient times, once the Zhanghe River is flooded, according to the ancestral system, you must send a bride to Hebo!"
"Yes, why hasn't the goddess come back yet" Luo Hui paused: "Do you want to meet Hebo!" β
The gentry was taken aback: "Nonsense, you dare to be so arrogant when you deliberately kill people!" β
"That's right, I'm arrogant, Yaowu, throw him into the Zhanghe River, and go to meet that Hebo!" Luo Hui really didn't want to talk nonsense with him, this person was greedy at 88, and he was really not a good bird.
When Zhou Yaowu heard this, he walked up to him in a few steps and grabbed his hand.
"No, you can't do that!"
"No, I can!"
Zhou Yaowu grabbed his shoulders and embedded them in his shoulders like a pair of iron claws.
Zhou Yaowu shook it hard. With a scream, the gentleman was swallowed up by the Zhanghe River.
The people were stunned, and the goddess was forgotten, the gentry was the most famous person in the local area, and even the magistrate had to give three points of courtesy. But the young man said that he would throw it into the river, as if he were in a dream.
Some of the other gentry all looked at Luo Hui like devils, and they all flinched, afraid that it would be their turn.
Luo Hui walked up to another well-dressed gentry: "Tell me your tricks, otherwise you will end up the same!" β
The gentleman trembled like chaff and hesitated. Luo Hui was very impatient: "Throw him into the river for me!" β
The man was so frightened that he knelt down: "I said, I said, the hero spares his life, the hero spares his life!" β
Luo Hui: "Come on, I know all about your tricks, if there is half a lie, you can't escape the fate of feeding the fish in the river!" β
"Hero, I say it all, I say it all" The man wiped his sweat: "These days, there is a big flood, there is a goddess who came to us, saying that in the name of offering a bride to Hebojin, let the villagers donate money, and choose girls, the rich will let the money, the poor will give money, these money will be used to hold a wedding banquet for Hebo, and we will share the rest equally with the goddess!" β
