Chapter 20: The First Resentment
In a village next to the river, the villagers live by fishing, the river does not dry up, and every household returns with a full load every day, or fish or shrimp, even the sturdy kelp and sea vegetables are enough for people to live. It's just that there are fewer and fewer creatures in this river, the ecosystem is destroyed, there are no fish and shrimp to eat the sea vegetable silt, the river water is getting more and more turbid, and people are salvaging fewer and fewer things, and the ignorant villagers have thought of a stupid way - to sacrifice the river! They trapped their greedy desires and a 16-year-old girl on the bank of the river, and pushed them into the water together, so that the innocent girl could pay for the greed of the villagers, and the girl sank to the bottom of the river in despair, and the people on the river bank cheered, the fairy girl danced in funny clothes, and the villagers were praying for good weather in the coming year, and that the girl could pay tribute to the so-called river god and give them back their original wealth. They take nature's gifts for granted, and they want to take a pure and innocent person for granted. Since then, an innocent girl has been sunk to the bottom every year, and the endless needs of people have been satisfied.
......
Walking and walking, Lu Zhidao and I didn't find anything at the bottom of the valley, only a lot of white bones, and these white bones are probably the girls who were sacrificed to the river.
I took off my coat and wrapped up the bones, and if I could get out, I would find a place to bury them, they had been cold and lonely here for I don't know how many years.
"Did you say the first wisp of resentment is here?"
"Not like that!" Lu Zhidao looked around and said. I wrapped the bones and put them in my backpack. At this time, the hair around me began to change, could this be the main thing coming out?
"Girl, you've worked hard for so many years, we're going to take you out." Lu Zhidao said, "We know that you didn't mean to hurt others, this is just your way of protecting yourself, don't worry, we won't hurt you." As he spoke, the hair around him began to change, like clouds in the sky, and became a painting, the content of the painting was probably the scene of being thrown into the water by the sacrificial woman throughout the ages, and then it became more and more weird, a woman was thrown into the water, because of the heavy rain not long ago, the river rose, and the girl did not sink to the bottom, so several men went into the water to prepare to pull the woman into the bottom of the sea, and then the fairy girl made gongs and drums, and these men were also taken away.
If I count, isn't this man exactly five!
Lu Zhidao said: "Those five men are also sacrificed, and the drums on this shore are a signal!" ”
"But if this man is also a sacrifice, the singular is unlucky!" I say.
Lu Zhidao said: "Yes, and it doesn't say whether the woman sank to the bottom of the water, and the pile of white bones must have been dead for a long time." ”
Then Lu Zhidao said something that made my hair explode.
"If the man has to be sacrificed, if I count it, it will be an even number!"
I suddenly felt a chill in my back, and Lu Zhidao said, "Is the rope still on you?" ”
We took out the rope and saw that the place where it was open was smooth and neat, and it was impossible to be bitten by a strange fish in the water, it must have been cut by a knife!
Lu Zhidao said: "We were tricked, we were induced by the village chief to go from the moment we came to this place, including the corpse change that night, the village chief also knew, and then kept telling me what kind of strange things happened in this river, until I went into the water, let you hear the news, they expected that you would go into the water, and then they naturally completed the sacrifice." ”
I was surprised, "Even if we go out now, we may not be able to leave, right?" ”
"Yes, but they may not know the space exists."
"Didn't they create this space?"
"They didn't expect that something they were sacrificing could have so much power."
I said, "I'm cold and hungry right now, so let's find a way to get out." ”
We walked for a long time, all with dark hair. I'm afraid this place can't get out.
"Shu Xin, instead of being trapped in this place, we should destroy it."
