Chapter 182: Praying for Rain (4)
Su Meiniang's words immediately made Taohong shut up. Lowering her head, she looked scared, and naturally she was reluctant to be a candidate for a living sacrifice. Standing next to Li Wenxuan, who was watching the excitement, he instantly felt how difficult it was for the lower-class people to fight for a little bit of fair rights. As for true fairness, it has never existed since ancient times.
After making the lot's peony and winter incense, the paper ball was put into a large blue and white porcelain pot. The two of them each held one end of it in their hands, and at Su Meiniang's signal, they walked under the platform. Every time they came to someone, they had to draw a lot from that person.
The apprehension and uneasiness in the hearts of everyone who drew lots were naturally evident from their own expressions and movements. Even if they don't want to participate, they can't help but catch it. If a person raises any further objections, he or she is immediately and very likely to be assigned to the live sacrifice. Instead of "winning" 100 percent, it's better to try your luck, after all, the odds of survival are still very high. Unless it's too "back" and the face is black, it won't work if you don't accept your fate.
Under Su Meiniang's supervision, the slaves and maids present can be described as having a lot in their hands. Although Peony and Dongxiang were the two lots that were grabbed after the most reluctance, the two of them already knew in their hearts whose hands the next lot was in, after all, they had made a secret mark on it one step earlier. None of the slaves and maids who had caught the lot opened it in advance, after all, it was difficult to have the courage to face this test of life and death.
"You all open it to me. Those who have won the lucky lot, then take the initiative to stand up! Su Meiniang, who didn't want to continue waiting, said with a posture that she had nothing to do with herself.
The slaves and maids who didn't dare to disobey her will, their hands kept trembling, and they slowly opened the paper ball to check it. The slave who found that she was just a blank piece of paper in her hand turned her head to look at the situation next to her. When he noticed that the other party's things were the same as his own, the hanging heart in his heart was settled, after all, if only one person was selected to go out of the body to live sacrifice, there would inevitably be a difference.
There are no slaves who have "won" a lot, and they are excited to burst into tears, after all, there is a feeling of being reincarnated. They have just experienced life and death, and they can survive, and their next reaction is to start collecting curious eyes to continuously collect who that super unlucky person will be.
At this time, the little sister of the Zhang family, who was holding a piece of paper with the word "Fu" written on it in her right hand, stood expressionless and motionless. When someone found out that she was "selected by the bird's screen", they exclaimed. When the aunt of the Zhang family, who came with her daughter, learned that her daughter had won the lottery, she walked in front of her with tears in her eyes, and walked forward with her daughter's right hand.
When she came to the Zhang family's aunt who was two steps away from the stairs, she first dragged her daughter to kneel, and then knelt down next, begging bitterly: "This time doesn't count, can you do it again?" ”
Peony, who was standing on the top of the stairs, rebuked with a displeased face: "Could it be that you are the master, and you have to listen to you?" If you say it doesn't count, doesn't it count? Since your daughter has won the lottery, then you have to accept your fate. ”
In order to live a good life, they voluntarily sold themselves to the Li family, the purpose was to get the shade of a good man, but they never expected that things would turn out like this. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes, her eyes were looking at Zhao Tian'er, and she kept pleading: "Madam, you can do it, or let me go instead of my daughter!" My little grandson, who is not yet one year old, has lost his father who he has never met, but he can't be without a mother anymore! ”
Zhao Tian'er, who was very embarrassed by this, although she didn't want to see the sister of the Zhang family, who was relatively good and familiar with her, go to death, but she couldn't overturn the result of the lot this time. She was very embarrassed, she knew that she and Su Meiniang said that this one was useless, so she looked at Li Wenxuan, who was standing near her, and said, "Brother Wenxuan, what do you think?" After all, the life of the Zhang family's sister is the one you have saved. ”
Li Wenxuan, who had no intention of using a living person to sacrifice and pray for rain, had seen a battle of human nature between life and death, so he stepped forward and took a step forward, so he wanted to put this great favor on the little girl's head, and pretended to be serious and said: "Since Tian'er appeared to speak for you, then forget it." ”
The little sister of the Zhang family, who heard it very clearly, didn't come back to her senses for a while, if it weren't for the mother who was kneeling next to her to pull her hard and let herself kowtow to thank her, she really couldn't believe that she had returned to the world from hell. With tears in her eyes with excitement, she kowtowed to Li Wenxuan and Zhao Tianer vigorously, and said again and again with gratitude: "Thank you master for saving your life again." ”
At the same time as Li Wenxuan said this, he was originally happy, but the slave who didn't catch the "winning" lot instantly became unhappy and became nervous again. If the little sister of the Zhang family doesn't count, then she has to do it again. Although this is extremely unfair, they dare not speak out, but they know very well that the result of this statement will only cause them to become their stepping stone to die. After experiencing and facing a life and death, they began to pray repeatedly in their hearts for God's blessing, and never let themselves win the Hades lottery.
Li Wenxuan, who could see the clues from their expressions, stopped his evil taste and said, "At this point, you don't have to draw lots anymore." When they disperse, they will do whatever they should do. ”
Hearing that they didn't have to draw the lot of life and death again, the joy in their hearts could not be described in words. They loudly promised the word "yes", tears were dry on their faces, and they left hand in hand.
Su Meiniang, who still hadn't returned to the taste, walked to Li Wenxuan's side, frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" Could it be that you have other options? ”
"Mountain people have their own tricks." Li Wenxuan, who pretended to smile mysteriously, did not break the words, and looked at the little sister of the Zhang family who was kneeling on the ground and said: "This time, your life was saved by Tian'er, so she is your life-saving benefactor." ”
The little sister of the Zhang family, who didn't know the truth, but really felt that her life was saved because of Zhao Tianer's initiative to stand up and speak, continued to bow sincerely and sweared: "The slave understands." In the future, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the slaves and maids will go for the eldest lady. If the oath is broken, there will be no more human beings for all eternity. ”
Seeing that she understood her words, Li Wenxuan, who felt that she was not stupid, smiled: "Very good." ”
