Chapter 52: Under the River

"Slow ......" Lewen saw that the witch was going to push the little girl into the river, and hurriedly scolded: "You fools, how can you throw this living little girl into the river to accompany what so-called Hebo." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A woman in shabby clothes, her eyes were red as she crawled on the ground crying, and her fingernails were caught so deep that bright red blood flowed down the cracks between her fingernails.

The village chief, who was standing behind the Taoist witch, saw a young man with a lofty spirit stepping forward to stop him, so he asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to stop our Zhangjia Village? ”

"Yes, yes, you three little villains, I saw you just now, I didn't expect you to come to destroy the good things in our village, are you trying to find it?"

The vicious man with the eight-character eyebrows was stunned by Le Wen's sharp scolding just now, and now he reacted, and when he said this, he wanted to step forward and grab Le Wen's arm and tie up this young man who didn't know what to do.

But as soon as he grabbed Lewen's arm, he was thrown away by Lewen, and Long Chao and Zheng Liangcai looked at the embarrassed appearance of the vicious man who was thrown on the ground and laughed.

"Oops......" The obscene young man saw that the vicious man was thrown to the ground by Lewen, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the vicious man up, the vicious man didn't expect Lewen to throw him to the ground at once, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, but his mouth was very arrogant, pointing at Lewen and shouting: "You...... You, an outsider, dare to beat people at will, and the big guy will arrest him. ”

But none of the onlookers dared to come forward, even he, who was fierce, couldn't get close to Le Wen's body, didn't the others come forward to fight, besides, this vicious man has always been used to showing off his might, and now he has also suffered the loss of others, the villagers don't dare to smile on their faces, but they are very happy in their hearts.

The vicious man saw that the villagers were motionless, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he turned his eyes to the village chief and said with a sad face: "Village chief, you can't ignore it, this is related to the lives of our whole village!" ”

The village chief is a village chief, although he can't bear to be thrown into the river like this by the Li family's female doll, but the vicious man is aggressive, if he doesn't do this, if he really doesn't get anything next year, then his responsibility will be great, don't say that the village chief is not right, and his net worth will be difficult to protect.

So the village chief said ruthlessly: "You three outsiders should leave the affairs of our village alone, let's go, otherwise we will be welcome." ”

After saying this, she glanced at the witch, and the witch pushed the bamboo mat and pushed the girl into the river.

Lewen didn't want to watch the girl drown alive by the river, and he couldn't care about it so much, Long Chao and Zheng Liangcai blocked the village chief, and Lewen pushed the witch away at once,

The village chief was a little enraged and shouted, "Arrest them all." ”

When the vicious man saw that the village chief had spoken, he also shouted: "Catch them, catch them......"

When the villagers heard the village chief's order, they rolled up their arms, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to work together to arrest the three of Lewen.

But don't say it's this group of defenseless villagers, since it's a group of strong men with knives, don't want to catch the three of them, there are more than a dozen bold ones, they want to besiege the three people, but just a few breaths, they were all knocked to the ground.

Especially the few villagers who were knocked to the ground by Long Chao, rolling on the ground in pain, wailing.

Where has the village chief seen this kind of formation, a group of people besieged three people, and they were all beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, this is too against the sky, but if he knew that dozens of horse thieves couldn't help Lewen and them, he wouldn't think so.

"Long Chao, why are you not light or heavy, they are just ordinary villagers." Lewen said to Long Chao in a deep voice.

"Brother Wen, you also know that my brother and I don't have anything serious in my hands, and they want to beat me, because they don't have long eyes." Long Chao said indignantly.

Although the people sacrifice the living people to the river god is not recognized by the government, but the ancient folk customs are more superstitious, if the villagers are not allowed to do this, the villagers will record the natural disasters on the government, so the government is also a blind eye, as long as you do not ask you to take care of the living sacrifice on a large scale, let them watch and do it themselves.

The village chief trembled with dry hands, looked at the three of Lewen back and forth, and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Three...... Shaoxia...... you...... What the hell do you want...... ”

The crying woman with red eyes who was crawling on the ground, seeing that the village chief was also a little timid, also had a glimmer of hope in her heart, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and stood up with difficulty.

There is a saying that is really true, Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable, sometimes if you don't come to something hard, just rely on two mouths, it's really not good.

Now it's Xiucai martial arts, and the village chief can't stop it, so he can only see what the three masters in front of him want to do.

"Village chief, we don't think about anything, you just need to let this girl go." Lewen touched the wolf teeth on his chest and said lightly.

"But this girl is at stake for the lives of our entire village...... If she hadn't been sacrificed to Hebo, there might really be no harvest in the coming year. The village chief said with some concern.

"Huh...... Isn't your so-called Hebo a god, the gods are all sorrowful, if Hebo is an immortal who likes to take people's lives, then what is the difference between it and the devil? ”

This truth that Le Wen said, not to mention the first time the village chief heard of it, including Long Chao and Zheng Liangcai who were present for the first time, this is the Buddhist principle summarized by later generations.

"The village chief...... You can't be fooled by this outsider, Hebo didn't want to take this girl's life, but wanted this girl to accompany him to practice the Dao. The vicious man was unwilling to say things against his will, and slandered the village chief.

The village chief looked at the female doll and then at the female doll's mother, and finally made up his mind and said slowly: "Li, you can take the child and leave." ”

When Li heard that the village chief was willing to let her daughter go, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, got up with a smile on her face, walked to her daughter's side, and picked up her daughter, who also showed joy, and squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing that the village chief was not too mediocre, Le Wen smiled and said: "If the village chief can release this girl, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good, and the harvest next year will not be too bad." ”

The village chief waved his hand again and again and said: "Hey, don't make fun of the little old man, if it weren't for what you just said, the little old man wouldn't have been able to get lost." ”

Originally, Lewen thought that this matter would be very difficult to do, you must know that the superstitious thoughts of the Ming Dynasty were still very serious, but I didn't expect to save a life so easily, and it was considered a great blessing for that little girl.
