Chapter 936: Queen of Terror 32
The process of the coming-of-age ceremony is very simple, that is, the girls line up, hold three pillars of incense, walk through the attendants who stand on both sides and hold various ritual instruments and silently recite sea nerves, enter the main hall, and incense the mermaid sea god.
Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng also took the three pillars of incense, lined up and walked into the temple together, and then offered incense to the mermaid Poseidon, in the process, Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng's attention was on the gods standing on both sides.
The two of them easily felt that something was wrong with these god servants, in fact, these god servants did not hide themselves too much, they seemed to lower their heads and meditate on the so-called sea nerves, but in fact, their attention was on the girl who was incensed.
If it was a beautiful girl, the eyes of these god servants would flash with a hint of satisfaction, as well as the lustful meaning that Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng had felt more than once, as if these girls were not here for a coming-of-age ceremony, but to let these god servants select the women for their lewd pleasure.
Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng quietly walked out of the incense, and entered the backyard of the temple that was usually never open to the public with the other girls who had finished the incense.
In the backyard there is a large long table with a sumptuous meal, where the girls who have participated in the rite of passage have to complete the final step and eat a thanksgiving meal together.
This so-called thanksgiving meal was organized by all the villagers of the fishing village, and this banquet was attended by only the girls themselves, and the parents and brothers were not attended.
For the girls, who have always been in a patriarchal environment, such gatherings are especially important to them, and all the girls have solemn expressions during the meal, which does not look like they are eating, but like they are performing some important ceremony.
After eating, the village chief walked over with a happy face, stood on the steps in front of him, and announced loudly to the girls, "All the girls who have participated in the coming-of-age ceremony and have become adults, I believe that you have heard about the coming-of-age ceremony from your parents before you came.
You should know that after the ceremony, the luckiest girl will be favored by the god of the sea and go to the valley where the god of the sea lives to serve the god for a month.
After that, the Poseidon will reward these girls who are favored by the gods with a large sum of money, and send you to work and live in the big city, completely change your life, and let you have a future that other women can't envy! Now, I would like to ask the Servant of the Gods to announce the list of girls who have been blessed by the god of the sea. ”
The girls below were already looking at the village chief excitedly when the village chief began to shout, obviously they already knew that there was this scene today, and after hearing the reward of Lord Seagod, all the girls showed excited expressions.
Li Meng sneered below and Lan Shuangshuang muttered in a low voice, "This village chief behaves like an old bustard who pimps people in an ancient Qinglou, and what kind of bullshit is favored by the sea god, who knows what dirty thoughts these people are playing."
Shuangshuang, do you think these girls are stupid? They all believe in such a stupid excuse, and they are so excited and looking forward to it, isn't it washing themselves and sending themselves to the wolf's mouth, it's stupid. ”
"Since they were born, these girls have been instilled with the idea that men are heaven and women are mud and the distorted view that men are superior to women, and then they are not allowed to go out to study and learn for a long time, most of them are illiterate, and the best is to go to school for two or three years.
Since they were children, they have been busy working every day to serve their fathers and brothers, and they have been educated that women are not as good as men, so after brainwashing from childhood to adulthood, these girls' thinking has fixed the idea that they are inferior to men and should be stepped on by men.
Coupled with the fact that they are not broad-minded, have not seen much of the market, and trust their parents, it is not surprising that these girls believe such a ridiculous excuse if their parents say the same thing as these gods-servants.
No matter what these gods have in mind this time, when we dig deeper, I can roughly guess the purpose of these gods-servants, but I can't prove it yet.
But it's also coming soon, no matter what attention these gods and the people in the village pay attention to, they still have to show their true colors in the end. ”
Lan Shuangshuang spoke, her brows couldn't help frowning, she felt very bad in her heart now, and she had a hunch that the resentment of these god servants was related to the girl who was favored by the sea god at the coming-of-age ceremony of the fishing village girl, if her guess was correct, this is really a true portrayal of the human heart being more terrible than ghosts and gods.
When Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng were talking in a low voice, the god attendant had already begun to read the name of the girl who was favored by the sea god on the high platform, and the girl whose name was read would be taken to an empty room by the god servant.
The chosen girl happily followed the acolyte away, and the girls who were not chosen waited eagerly, and whenever they heard that the name that was read was not their own, their eyes flashed with disappointment.
Although these girls have been taught by their parents for a long time to be inferior to men, it does not mean that they really don't want to live a good life, going to work and live in a big city is undoubtedly the best in their eyes, a paradise-like life, but they don't know that in the case of most of them are illiterate, it may be more painful to go to a big city than to live in this fishing village.
Soon, Lan Shuangshuang heard the village chief read his and Li Meng's names, different from when he read other girls, after reading the names of Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng, the village chief came down directly and walked in front of Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng.
"The two girls are really lucky, this is the first time that Lord Poseidon has visited outsiders, I know that you are all from the city, and you can't see the reward of Lord Haishen, but it's good to have a fresh time.
The custom of our place is not something that can be played with money, and the girl who is favored by the god of the sea will live in the valley of the sea with a particularly beautiful scenery, with the mountains and the sea in the background, and there are many interesting seafood on the beach.
This season passes, just in time to meet a large number of sea turtles ashore to lay eggs, that scene is very spectacular, especially the scene of baby turtles flocking into the sea after hatching is even more rare, and then it will attract a lot of seabirds to hunt, if you like, you can also catch a baby turtle to keep around.
Poseidon Valley is a blessed place for us here, a good place that is not allowed to enter until a famine year, and apart from our village, no one has ever discovered the location of Poseidon Valley, you two can just go and play together for a month this time. ”
This village chief is worthy of being the village chief, he is eloquent, he knows that he can't fool Lan Shuangshuang and Li Meng, two city girls from the city who are not bad at all, with the reward of the sea god.
