CHAPTER XXIX

29

When Liang Zhong left Wu Mang's Clan, Yao Chonghua also left, this time the destination was directly Youyu Clan, traveled northwest for three days, and finally entered the boundary of Youyu Clan, and Yao Chonghua imagined that the disaster here is much more serious than Wu Mang's and You's poor Clan's disaster, You's poor and Wu Mang's are mostly mountains and forests, and Youyu's are mostly plains, the terrain is low, and the place where the people live is relatively low.

Yao Chonghua stood by the river, the water roared to the east, almost bursting the embankment, but no one was here to survey the hydrology, and no one was consolidating the embankment, looking at Youyu not far away, he remembered that back then, he was thrown into the flood from this position in this place.

Yao Chonghua said to Dongfang Buxu and the four soldiers: "Now that you have sent me to the Youyu clan safely, the task is complete, go back." ”

Dongfang Buxu shook his head, the task given to him by his cousin was to protect the little master Yao Chonghua, and he would not complete the task until he returned to the side of the little master Chonghua.

"I don't know when Qin Buxuan will be able to implement the rule of law to the Youyu clan, it may take a long time."

"It's okay, he promised, and he will always come."

"You're not his warrior, why do you listen to him so much?"

"He is the glory of our family, and my mother said that it is always right to listen to him."

In the end, the four warriors returned to Longshan, and Dongfang Buzi still stayed by Yao Chonghua's side.

Dressed in a simple suit, there was nothing as Yao Chonghua did when he left, and when he arrived at the gate of Youyu's family, there was no one to guard or inform, and Yao Chonghua entered Youyu's without any barrier.

It wasn't until he was about to reach the center of the Yu clan that Yao Chonghua saw that almost the entire tribe was gathered here, and they seemed to be doing things around the high platform built around the wood, on which there was a dancing witch wish, chanting a spell that reached the sky and the earth, and there was a young man tied to a wooden stake on the side, he looked at all the onlookers in fear, tears flowed down, but his throat could not make any sound.

How familiar this scene is to Yao Chonghua, isn't this the ritual of using him to sacrifice to the river god in the first place? He was also tied to a stake like that, weeping as he looked at his relatives who were cold and determined to him.

Yao Chonghua, the boy who was tied up on the stage, knew that when he was punished by Ji Hao and couldn't eat when he was a child, Xuya once secretly gave him a few steamed cakes, he was one of Yao Chonghua's few friends in the tribe, and when he was tied to the high platform, he also cried and begged his father and mother to help Yao Chonghua, but his father and mother did not have a high status in the tribe, and against the meaning of Wu Zhu and Ji Hao, they may have been able to survive in the tribe, but I didn't expect time to fly, and now the people on the stage have become Zhuya.

In Yao Chonghua's trance, Wu Zhu had finished the rituals, walked down the high platform, and said to the eyes in the north corner: "Chief, the ceremony is completed, you can sacrifice to the river god." ”

"Okay, come on, carry the tooth to the river." A heart-filled voice sounded, but it was said that the cold words that decided the fate of the tooth were really cold to the bottom of my heart.

A few people listened to the words, so they went up to the high platform, lifted the suing teeth, and then went to the river, but they didn't expect that there were two people standing directly in the middle of the road, blocking their direction.

An old man squinted his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, he couldn't see the two people clearly, he could only see the general outline, he didn't know the big one, but the small one looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was, "Who are you?" How did it appear in Youyu's? ”

Yao Chonghua also recognized this old man, he was Ji Hao's father Ju Mi, when he sacrificed to the river god, this old man was indispensable to make a stumbling block from it, but he didn't expect that it was only a few years, and he couldn't recognize him anymore.

"Please get out of the way, we have the Yu clan to sacrifice to the river god now, and if we miss the hour, the river god is going to be angry." Seeing that the two people who were blocking the road still wouldn't let them, Jumi was in a hurry to urge them.

Yao Chonghua's pair of different eyes seemed to be proof of his identity, and many people from the Yu clan could see that he was the eldest son of the leader of the Yu Su who was thrown into the flood three years ago to worship the river god, and now he actually appeared again, is this an illusion?

Yao Chonghua and Dongfang Buxu were still standing upright in the middle of the road, without any intention of giving in, and the commotion in front of him attracted the attention of Yu Suo, who hurriedly walked forward, looked at Yao Chonghua, and was suddenly shocked in his heart.

Ji Liu, who came over with Su Suo, took a good look at Yao Chonghua, and screamed like a ghost, "Ah~ How is it possible, how is this possible." ”

The child who left three years ago was also incredulous, he saw Wu Zhu throw him into the river with his own eyes, why did he appear again?

"I remember that there seems to be a custom of the Yu clan not taking living people to sacrifice to the river god before, why did the living sacrifice become a practice of flooding after me?" Yao Chonghua chuckled, is a living human life so cheap in their eyes?

"This..." He couldn't answer, it seemed that since Yao Chonghua, they were already surprised by the sacrifice of living people, but now that his son is back, the sudden appearance of Su Su made him surprised and happy.

The pause caused Yao Chonghua to chuckle, once bad habits are formed, the consequences are quite serious, and their disregard for life makes Yao Chonghua despise it from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Hao saw that the disaster star came back, and Su Su still thought about his son of the disaster star, and there was a burst of anger in his heart, Ji Hao was good-looking and beautiful, but his temper was very hot, and he wanted to occupy Yu Suo, and finally got rid of Yao Chonghua three years ago, but Gu Su felt guilty in his heart, and took more and more careful care of Yao Chonghua's mother, if it weren't for the fact that Ji Deng was devastated because of Yao Chonghua's death, where could there be her Ji Hao's place now?

But now that Yao Chonghua is back, maybe he will come back for revenge, she can't let Yao Chonghua return to the side of Yu Suo, and the position of the leader of the Yu clan can only be her son Xiang, "Yao Chonghua, a year after you let you sacrifice to the river god, we have the Yu family's wind and rain, which means that the sacrifice to the river god is right, and he can hear the prayer." ”

"And what about the second year? You took another child and sacrificed it to the god of the river? ”

"Since it is useful to sacrifice to the river god, for the sake of the continuation of the tribe, what is wrong with us taking children to the river god? It's their pleasure. ”

Yao Chonghua felt that this woman was so crazy that it was unreasonable, "Since it's an honor, why don't you go and worship the river god yourself?" ”

"You... I'm not a child, what does the river god want me to do? ”

"But the teeth are not small, can you work for the tribe, do you still want him to sacrifice to the river god?"

"Because he is a disaster like you, his father and mother were killed by him."

The continued teeth that were still on the shoulders of several big men screamed loudly after hearing Ji Hao's words, "You are talking nonsense, I am not a disaster star, I am not a disaster star, my father and mother died to save me, you are talking nonsense~"

The word "disaster star" touched the nerves of the continued teeth, and the whole person lost his mind, struggling like crazy, and even a few big men couldn't stand him, and the continued teeth were thrown heavily to the ground, but because his hands were tied with hemp rope, he could only keep squirming on the ground, Yao Chonghua couldn't bear it, and signaled to Dongfang not to do it.

Dongfang Buzi had long been unaccustomed to this kind of behavior, and as soon as he got Yao Chonghua's instructions, he hurriedly walked forward, pushed away a few big men, helped Xuya up, returned to Yao Chonghua's side, and helped Xuya untie the hemp rope in his hand.

Wu Zhu saw that Yao Chonghua Dongfang didn't let go of the continuation of the teeth, and shouted: "What are you doing? If you do this, the river god will blame us for the Yu clan and bring disaster to us Yu clan. ”

As soon as they heard the words of the disaster, the people were not calm, "Huh? That's not good, we haven't harvested this year, and what should we do if we encounter another disaster? ”

"The tooth is originally a disaster star, and if it dies, it will die, but it can't affect us."

"Let's sacrifice to the river god."

The urging of the people made Yao Chonghua feel heartbroken, why are these people so ignorant, "The river god is a god, how can a god embarrass people?" You sacrifice people to the gods, and you are the one who traps the river god for injustice, and the river god will not like anyone who frames the river god. ”

As soon as Yao Chonghua said this, the voices of the people gradually became smaller, "If the river god wants human life, it is not a good god, why do we still worship a bad god?" ”

When Wu Zhu heard that this situation was not right, he stopped and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I have already discussed with Hebo before doing this, as long as the sacrifice is offered, he will not have a big flood this year." ”

"How do you prove that you really spoke to the river god?" Let Yao Chonghua believe that if there is really a river god in this world, it is better to tell him that there are really aliens.

Wu Zhu was not afraid of others asking him this question, "I am Wu Zhu, if I can't talk to the river god, no one can talk to the river god." "Anyway, it's up to him whether he can hear it or not.

Yao Chonghua didn't expect that Wu Zhu of the poor clan would be such a scoundrel, no wonder he could come together with Ji Hao to frame him, "Who said that only you can?" I can also talk to the river god. ”

Yao Chonghua's words caused an uproar among the people.

"Huh? Can Chonghua talk to the river god? ”

"He's not a witch Zhu, how can he be psychic?"

"Is it because of his eyes?"

Wu Zhu was also surprised, "How is it possible." ”

"How is it impossible, you took me as a sacrifice to the river god, but the river god didn't accept me, isn't that the best proof?" It's not the first time Yao Chonghua has pretended to be a ghost, the last time he was a kiln god, this one he was a river god, and this thing is really practice makes perfect.

He began to believe Yao Chonghua's words, in the past three years, he had to dedicate a child to the river god every year, and everyone who had a child in the family was afraid of being chosen, and the hearts of the people in the tribe had long been uneven, "What did the river god tell you?" ”

Yao Chonghua glanced at him, "The river god said that if he collected everyone who drowned in the river, the people who died in the great flood would have already filled his river god mansion, and he still wanted you to take the initiative to drown, anyway, you trapped him in injustice, and he didn't accept those undead, let the undead wander between heaven and earth, and he either flooded or dried up is a punishment for those of you who are still alive." ”

Yao Chonghua's words let a few women who were listening to it cry loudly, "My child, why did you die unjustly like this." "Where are your spirits now?" Come back to your mother's side. ”

In three years, Yao Chonghua came out, and two children were sacrificed to the river god, when she heard that her children died innocently, which mother could withstand this pain? They used to be good children, and they were the treasures of the family.
