Chapter 1: Sacrifice to the Dragon God
The torrential rain crackled and smashed on the eaves of the roof.
In the ancestral hall, the village chief knocked on his crutches and said anxiously: "Lord Longshen bless, stop the rain quickly, Fulong Canal is about to burst!" ”
"Village Chief, you should think of a way, if you continue like this, people will drown, isn't that the same as eighteen years ago-"
Before the fourth aunt finished speaking, she was scolded by the village chief: "Who asked you to mention that incident!" ”
The fourth aunt shrank for a moment, obviously thinking of something, and her eyes rolled and fell on me.
I subconsciously shrank into my mother's arms.
"Xiaoyu, come here, come to the fourth aunt." The fourth aunt coaxed me.
Today's fourth aunt is a little abnormal, I moved my steps and didn't dare to go over.
"Village Chief." The fourth aunt looked at the village chief, "Eighteen years ago, Xiaoyu was born, but you made the decision to marry Xiaoyu to Lord Longshen to stop the flood, and now Xiaoyu is an adult, this time the rainstorm is that Lord Longshen is going to marry Xiaoyu, you can't be soft-hearted, this is the life of a village!" ”
Marry me?
I was eighteen years old, and I understood what I meant, and I looked back at my mother in amazement.
She just looked at me sadly and lowered her head to wipe her tears.
The village chief hesitated for a moment and looked at my mother, "Xiaoyu and her mother, look at this matter......"
"No way!" My mother raised her head suddenly, protected me behind her, and sternly refused.
She has always been gentle, and there are teardrops in the corners of her eyes, this is the first time she has been so resolute, "You hurt Xiaoyu once eighteen years ago, and I won't let you hurt Xiaoyu again this time!" ”
I don't know much about the floods 18 years ago, first, I was born that year, and second, it was forbidden to talk about it in the village.
But I've never heard of the village chief marrying me to a dragon god.
I've been to school and I've been to school, but I don't believe in any dragon gods in my heart, it's just a relatively big rainstorm!
But the people in the village don't think so.
Until the rainstorm fell into the evening, the Fulong Canal was about to burst.
The village chief approached me.
"Light rain." The village chief stood in front of me and looked at me with a gaze that I couldn't understand: "Do you want everyone in Fulong Village to be drowned?" ”
I shook my head.
Of course I don't want to.
"Then you ......" He pulled the corners of his mouth, a ravine-wide face, and finally said the words that made me chill: "You just think about the people in the village, marry Lord Ryujin!" ”
"Boom!"
A thunderclap fell, and I subconsciously took half a step back.
The chill ran down the soles of the feet and reached the heart.
I looked at the village chief in disbelief: "Village chief, what did you just say?" ”
"Xiaoyu, eighteen years ago, when you were born, the village was like this, it rained for three days and three nights, and the Fulong Canal almost burst the embankment, and later, it was the master who passed by who pointed out, saying that if you were married to Lord Longshen, you could solve this flood."
I trembled when I heard this, and asked him in a trembling voice, "Are you really marrying me to that dragon god?" ”
This is ridiculous!
It's just nonsense.
"Yes, I know you don't believe it, but everyone in the village can testify, and so can your mother. Xiaoyu, you're eighteen years old, it's time to fulfill your promise, marry the dragon god......"
"Why?"
"Lord Ryujin chose you." He sighed and beckoned, and the two tall young men in the village stepped forward: "Xiaoyu, don't you want to escape, this is all fate, it's all fate." ”
After he finished speaking, he left on crutches.
The village chief asked me to be locked up in the courtyard of his house, and even my mother would not let me see me.
At first, I cried and begged for mercy, but in the end, I finally understood that they were determined to marry me to some 'dragon god' to solve the flood.
This is not a normal wedding, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, they hurriedly changed me into a bright red wedding dress, sent me to a sedan chair, and let people carry me to the Dragon Temple.
The Dragon Temple was built to worship the dragon god in Fulong Canal, and it is located on the hill opposite Fulong Canal, facing Fulong Canal from afar.
When I was a child, I often came to this mountain to play and look at the bottomless Fulong Canal.
And now......
I watched in horror as they sent my sedan chair into the Dragon Temple, and several people who carried the sedan chair locked me in the Dragon Temple, and fled in the torrential rain.
I set my mind.
No one was looking at me and trying to escape, and now was the best time to do it.
But it was already the middle of the night, and it was raining heavily outside, and the mountains were all washed away.
I gritted my teeth and tried to push the door, but with a "bang", I pulled the dilapidated wooden door open.
The wind outside carried the torrential rain and hit me in the face like a knife's edge.
I wiped my face and was about to discern the direction to descend the mountain, when I felt a cold wind blowing, and then, the candlelight behind me flickered a few times and went out.
The entire Dragon Temple was shrouded in darkness.
I was suffocated for a moment.
In the next second, he wanted to run away, but at this moment, a chill spread from behind him.
Immediately after, I felt something, wet and slippery, up my calves, all the way up......
I stiffened and didn't dare move.
The thing got into my skirt and went all the way up, and I could even hear the 'silky' sound of 'it'.
What is it?
I slowly looked down to see what was wrapped around my legs.
In my sight, I couldn't see my five fingers, but somehow, I saw a pair of golden vertical pupils.
It is a pupil that does not belong to humans, and is unique to snakes.
"Ahh
I screamed.
At the same time, there was a sharp pain under me, almost making me faint from the pain.
In a trance, I seemed to see a golden figure, the sleeves of my coat brushing in front of me, and I lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was still lying in the Dragon Temple.
Outside, it was dawning, the rain had stopped, and even the sun had appeared after a long absence.
I got up numbly from the ground and glanced at the dragon statue on the table.
The dragon god statue has been inherited for thousands of years, it is a golden golden dragon, climbing on the white stone pillar, the stone pillar reaches to the top of the temple, as if it is about to fly into the sky.
I looked at it, and the huge dragon eyes of the golden dragon seemed to roll towards me.
I was shocked, and for no reason I remembered the pair of golden vertical eyes before I fainted, and I hurriedly looked under me.
My skirt was wrinkled and messy, and there was nothing underneath me, but my legs were unusually sore.
Moreover, inside the red wedding dress, on the white lining, there was a piece of red blood.
I stared at the red for a long time, and I had to accept this fact with great sadness.
Eventually, I put my clothes in order and slowly climbed up on the floor.
No matter how many unbelievable things happened yesterday, I have to live, and I have to go to my mother.
I went down the mountain in a trance.
When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I met people from several villages, and when they saw me, they all pointed at me as if they had seen a ghost, and they were speechless for a long time in fright.
I grabbed a guy and asked, "Where's my mother?" Was he locked up by the village chief? ”
Unexpectedly, the young man actually trembled in fear, his legs weakened, he fell to the ground, and pointed at me: "You, your mother is dead...... Hearts have been gouged out! ”
