Okra was even more shocked, was the eldest sister of the Song family joking with her? But seeing the other party's serious appearance, she immediately got out of bed, looked for shoes, and asked, "Where is the corpse?" ”

Song's wife took her from home all the way to the west of Pingshan Village, there is a land temple, usually the villagers will also worship, this year is not peaceful, the river picks up the dead corpses every three or five times, for fear of causing epidemics, the villagers will first put the corpses in the land temple, and then burn them together.

It stands to reason that this village is not the first time to pick up the corpse, and the villagers should have been surprised a long time ago, but in front of the land temple, there are dozens of villagers watching the excitement?

What to see?

On that day, okra was thrown into the Qingjiang River by Diao Minqiang of Hexian Village to sacrifice to the river god, and now she is immortal, and the corpse fished up with her is definitely not simple, she stepped forward a few steps forward and asked: "Is there something wrong with the corpse?" ”

The villagers knew that she was a bride fished up from the river, and they all looked at her with sympathy, and some people sighed: "It's a pity, I'm widowed at a young age!" ”

Song's wife said to her on the side: "Your father-in-law's body is parked inside, and it will be burned in the evening, you go in and say goodbye!" ”

Okra didn't explain much, she entered the land temple alone, there were still a few corpses parked in it, she saw at a glance that the corpse in the red wedding robe was parked in the center, and the other corpses were placed on the straw mat at will, but this body was covered with a white cloth, placed on a wooden bench, and when she got closer, she reached out and lifted the white cloth, her eyebrows and eyes changed slightly, and she was a little surprised.

Since she was a child, she and her grandmother have helped others watch white things, and she has seen a lot of corpses, most of which are ugly, not to mention that they are soaked in the river for a few days and fished up, which should be extremely swollen; However, this corpse was not only unharmed, but also as handsome as a bath; No wonder it attracts onlookers from the villagers, thinking that in this poor and remote country, how have they ever seen such a beautiful skin?

She checked the clothes worn by the corpse again, and it was similar to the wedding robe that the villagers of Hexian Village forced her to wear that day......

Her heart was pounding, but fortunately it was just a corpse, and the corpse had nothing to be afraid of, a fire was burned, and it was clean!

Immediately, she went to the temple and said to Song's wife: "I want to burn the body, burn it immediately!" ”

When Song's wife was stimulated, she thought that it would be burned sooner or later, so she built a pyre in front of the land temple and put the male corpse on it.

It was only after she finished lighting the fire and watched the flames rise on the pyre that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sensation—" There was a thunderclap in the sky.

Just on a sunny day, a strong wind suddenly blew, dark clouds were thick, and the torrential rain poured down in a moment, and the lively villagers only said that this was the will of heaven, and they all scattered around to avoid the rain.

Only Song's wife comforted her: "Girl, you look like this, and you will turn into ashes when you go down the fire, I think this god can't bear to destroy it!" ”

Okra broke out in a cold sweat, where is this God can't bear to destroy, it is clearly the old monster of the river god who is acting as a demon!

"Whew-" It was also at this time that the male corpse lying on the pyre suddenly sat up and took a big breath!

Song's wife screamed in shock, and there were many villagers around, all of whom saw that the male corpse was 'alive'!

Okra did not hesitate, picked up the rusty hoe on the side and ran towards the male corpse, and at this time, several villagers came running left and right to stop her, she didn't understand, and shouted at them.

"What do you stop me from doing? You don't see that corpse is cheating and biting! ”

But the villagers did not listen, but some of them took the lead and knelt down and kowtowed to the man in red who was sitting on the pyre.

"It's the river god who is here!"

"The river god blesses, and finally I suffer, and I have incarnated to go through the calamity of misery for us!"

Hearing the word 'river god', okra was covered in sweat and hair stood on end, and what she didn't know was that the villagers living on both sides of the Qingjiang River had heard a story.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a mortal woman loved by the gods died in this turbulent river, the gods were powerful, but they could not resurrect their beloved, and in despair, they fell into the green river together; The villagers along the river have always believed that the god of heaven has become the god of the river to guard the Qingjiang River buried in his lover, and even in the past few hundred years, there is a legend that one day, the god will wait for his bride to wear a wedding robe from the green river.

Therefore, when the villagers of Pingshan Village heard that someone in the river had picked up two people in wedding robes, they all rushed to see the excitement, at first they only thought it was a coincidence, until the sudden rainstorm when okra was about to burn the corpse, and the corpse was 'resurrected' in the rain, they all firmly believed that it was the river god who had blessed them for generations!

Okra didn't believe in the river god, she was pulling with the villagers, and saw the 'male corpse' on the pyre slowly standing up, the red robe stained with water was as bright as fire, not to mention, the peerless face was as expressionless as a stone sculpture, she had seen a corpse before before that was tricked, just like this, her eyes were dilated and stiff.

The 'living corpse' is moving again!

He looked at the kneeling villagers around him, looking for something, and the only okra standing among the kneeling villagers entered his sight, and in this way, his face changed, and his empty and dull eyes gradually became angry, they were a pair of innocent handsome eyes, like the shadow of stars in a river, turbulent and calm.

"It's over!"

Obviously a handsome son, but okra thinks it's a monster like a wild beast.

I can't burn it, I can't cut it, so can't I run?

So she ran away, but before she could run two steps, she tripped over something and fell to the ground, and she fell and ate!

When she raised her eyes again, the boy had already arrived in front of her, looking at her from top to bottom, as if interrogating, as if pressing, but without saying a word, staring at the okra so that her throat was thirsty and her legs were weak, and then, when she saw the corners of his lips slowly pulled, he smiled at her like this......
