Chapter 238: Sending Sacrifices
"Ahh
Jiang Yin screamed, that courage was about to be frightened, even if he was bold, he couldn't withstand such a toss.
This time, she saw clearly that there was a man under the well, and under the imprint of the moonlight, it was very terrifying to look at his appearance, and she didn't know if it was the man who jumped into the well decades ago that the village chief said.
Jiang Yin shook his head, trying to sober himself up, I don't know if it was because he was afraid that he saw such a scene.
Thinking back to the scene when he saw the man wandering in the well, Jiang Yin had goosebumps all over his body. He walked as if he had no feet, swaying from side to side, his hair falling in front of his face.
"Ahh
Jiang Yin screamed again, and the voice was very harsh in the dark night.
She turned around slowly, saw a corner of her clothes appear in front of her, and looked up to see that it was Xie Cheng.
"Why did you suddenly slap me, scared me to death!"
Jiang Yin stroked his chest and gasped for air.
"I heard movement at your door, so I went over to look, knocked for a long time, but no one came to open the door for me, I thought about it, you must be here."
Xie Cheng looked at Jiang Yin's miserable little face, pulled up the corner of her clothes and walked towards the village.
"Xie Cheng, what are you doing! Don't drag me, I just want to see what's so strange in this well. ”
Jiang Yin fluttered while shouting, but Xie Cheng's hand did not loosen, and pulled her forward.
"It's not the time yet, it's too dangerous to seek the truth just by relying on a story."
The two of them slowly walked away, some distance away from the dry well, and Xie Cheng let go.
Jiang Yin tidied up his clothes, turned his head to look behind him, and stopped looking, waiting for the next suitable time to come over to investigate.
"Do you believe it?"
Jiang Yin lowered his head and walked on the road, and suddenly came to such a sentence, which caught Xie Cheng a little off guard.
He was silent for a moment, then stopped, the cool breeze of the night gently brushed his face, and in the moonlight, the handsome face was clearly outlined and very beautiful.
"What about the dry well?"
Jiang Yin nodded.
"It's been so long, if it's a ghost, then you must not believe it, how can the two of us be wrong at the same time, then there must be something strange down there."
"Then why are you stopping me?" Jiang Yin raised his little face, and seemed a little angry.
"Why don't you dare to act alone without consulting me, and if something goes wrong with you tonight, where am I going to find you?"
Xie Cheng was also angry, he was worried and scared, after all, Jiang Yin had been injured too much, and he felt a little guilty, and he always felt that he had not protected her.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive."
Jiang Yin was hesitant, she knew that it was her own fault.
But her curiosity is strong, she doesn't want to involve Xie Cheng, she just wants to investigate the general situation first, and then discuss it with him, she didn't expect him to be so angry.
Xie Cheng felt a little better when he heard Jiang Yin's sincere apology, he just didn't want her to suffer too much alone.
The two walked and talked all the way, and as soon as they reached the western side of the village, they noticed that the village seemed to be a little different from usual.
The villagers all walked in one direction with different things in their hands, including all kinds of grains, raw meat, etc., and it looked like they were holding some big event.
Jiang Yin stood on the road and watched for a long time, whether it was adults or children, they all had red ropes tied to their hands and held all kinds of things.
"Xie Cheng, are there still some unknown customs in this village?"
Jiang Yin looked at Xie Cheng beside him, his face was also full of doubts, and the village chief had not mentioned this matter to them.
"It seems like a sacrificial ritual, let's go over and take a look."
As soon as Xie Cheng's words fell, he saw a villager walking in front of him, and Xie Cheng stepped forward in one step, blocking his way.
"Uncle, can you tell me where so many people are going?"
The expression on the villager's face changed, and he didn't know whether to tell the story or not.
Xie Cheng could see the confusion from the expression on his face, "Uncle, don't worry, we won't publicize it, we just want to know what activities are going on tonight." ”
The villager paused and thought for a while, "We are going to deliver sacrifices, this son, I don't have time to tell you anything else, I have to send it at an auspicious time!" ”
The villager threw down these words and hurried in that direction.
Jiang Yin and Xie Cheng glanced at each other, and then followed quickly.
The people who were scattered on the road were almost close to the destination, and a group of people gathered together, all holding all kinds of sacrifices in their hands, none of them were in vain, and the posture was comparable to the emperor's sacrifice to the sky.
"There are so many people that you can't see what's going on inside."
Xie Cheng stood on the periphery of the crowd, and he couldn't see the situation inside after changing several directions, and the villagers were as many as six or seven floors around.
Jiang Yin's stature was a little smaller, just enough to see inside through the gap between the villagers.
I saw the village chief and several older villagers standing in the center of the crowd, and their status looked unusual.
"It's not real at all."
Jiang Yin looked around, trying to find a place on higher ground, maybe he could see the situation inside, but there were no buildings around at all.
She jumped on the spot for a long time, and only saw a little bit of it, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Jiang Yin had an idea, took Xie Cheng's hand and squeezed into the gap in the crowd, and after a while, the two of them squeezed into the center of the crowd.
In front of him, a huge platform was placed densely packed with offerings, which seemed to be the things that the villagers had saved by frugality.
The villagers' mouths seemed to be chanting something, and their voices were low, like some ancient incantation.
The village chief saw Xie Cheng and Jiang Yin from the crowd, made a gesture to the two, and led them out of the crowd.
"Yin girl, Xie Gongzi, I don't know what the two of you are doing here?"
The village chief looked at them with puzzled eyes, this event was unique to the village, and outsiders had never participated in it, so it was really unexpected for them to see it this time.
"Village chief, I'm sorry, we saw so many of you, so we thought to see if there was any activity."
Jiang Yin looked at the village chief, and there was no refusal on his face.
"I wonder if the village chief can tell us about the origin of this sacrifice and what it is sacrificing?" Jiang Yin's face was full of questions.
The village chief looked at the two of them and paused.
"I might as well tell you that we are holding a ritual to send sacrifices, and every year at the autumn equinox, we will send some of our own things to the well to comfort the well god, hoping that he can bless our village with good weather and good weather."
"Did that work?" Jiang Yin didn't believe it, the theory of ghosts and gods has always been a legend.
"There is another reason to send sacrifices, which is to comfort the ...... of the well god."
Hearing this, Jiang Yin suddenly remembered that there was indeed a terrifying cry in the dry well......
