To the north of Hexian Village, you can see a big river, which is a tributary of the North and South Rivers, named Qingjiang.

At the time of the unitary hour, the heavy rain poured down, and the entire villagers of Hexian Village wore robes and stood neatly by the river waiting in rows.

The okra was carried to the river in a sedan chair, and it could be vaguely seen from the sedan chair that there were many tributes placed on the river beach, all of which were fat live pigs and sheep, at least twenty each. In this era, there were countless hungry people outside who starved to death in the countryside, but this Hexian village was full of oil, and they used these animals to feed the river in vain?

"The beginning of the river god worship ceremony—" Old Man Yu's roar was covered by the sound of rain and could not be heard.

With a gesture, the entire village knelt down and kowtowed to the river, so impiety.

He gave another gesture, some villagers led live pigs and sheep into the river, these beasts also knew the danger in the face of the boiling river, and wanted to flee back, the villagers waved their whips fiercely and beat them hard, and after a period of chaos, all the pigs and sheep were washed away by the river!

Strange to say, after the pigs and sheep went into the water, a gust of wind blew on the river, and the wind swept up the river, showing a magnificent scene in mid-air, like a mighty dragon roaring and roaring, very shocking!

When the villagers saw this, they all appeared like the true gods, and shouted that the river god had appeared!

Okra's heart speed suddenly accelerated, could it be that there is really a river god in this Qingjiang River?

Old man Yu was excited, and after kneeling and bowing, he looked excitedly in the direction of the sedan chair and shouted, "Send the bride of the river god quickly!" ”

This is the will of the river god!

In this way, okra was dragged out of the palanquin by the two women and dragged through the sacrificial procession formed by the villagers.

"Stop! Let me go! ”

"You and other murderers, wanton killing, there is no king's law, kill the yin people, you will be cut off from your children and grandchildren!" Letting her struggle and curse, the villagers were indifferent, their unfamiliar faces full of numbness and indifference, and finally, they were all washed away and blurred by the heavy rain.

She was dragged to a stone platform by the river, and the person who dragged her ordered: "Kneel!" ”

The heavy rain washed her makeup and hair, so embarrassed, her back was straight, and she said angrily: "My Feng family walks on the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth, and kneels down to my parents and ancestors, how can ghosts and evil gods make me kneel and kneel?" ”

She didn't kneel, they had a way to get her to kneel, and the woman kicked her kneeling several times, once, twice, three times......

She gritted her teeth, and finally couldn't stand the pain and fell to her knees.

The village chief, Old Man Yu, walked up, and a trace of an unknown smile gradually appeared on his indifferent face, he went to the side of Okra, and slowly read: "There are women in the Feng family, and they go to the yin from generation to generation, the living retreat, and the yin people greet each other?" ”

"You ......" Okra was shocked, how could this old man know about the ancestral teachings of the Feng family?

The old man stood condescendingly, "The old man not only knows your ancestral teachings, but also knows that your grandmother Feng Fulai is just a crazy old woman all her life, what kind of bullshit?" Still through ghosts and gods? If you have this ability, how can you not even know that you are dying?! ”

When Okra heard her mention her grandmother, she violently broke free from the restraints of the two women and grabbed the old man's arm, "You killed my grandmother?" Where is her body? Yes! ”

Old man Yu sneered, "You are all going to sacrifice to my great river god, so where is your grandmother's body?" ”

He shook off Okra's hand vigorously, and the other two women immediately stepped forward and dragged Okra away.

"The hour has come, send her on her way!"

"You brutes, I won't let you go!"

"The surname is Yu, you can't die well!"

“……”

The wind swept and the rain and fog struck messily, and the sound of okra tearing was drowned out on the river beach.

Three days later, in Pingshan Village in the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River, when the villager Song Ziqiang was fishing on the river, he salvaged two people, a man and a woman, which is not unusual, since the king of Yuexi captured Qizhou, many displaced people poured into the Qingjiang River in Jiangzhou, and many people died when crossing the river, and the fishermen along the river can shoot out the corpses from the river every day.

"Hey, that's amazing!" Song Ziqiang sighed.

Song's wife didn't know why she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's been a long time in the river, and it's still alive!"

Song's wife was anxious, "Then save people!" ”

They hurriedly landed on the shore and invited Langzhong, who knew medicine in the village, to save people.

In the village house, okra was lying on a simple wooden bed when she saw a familiar figure walk in and sit on the edge of the bed where she was lying.

Grandma was still wearing the black cotton and linen robe she wore when she left home, her silver hair was scattered, her face was kind, and her eyes were full of reluctance and sadness and said to her: "Okra, grandma can't accompany you in the future!" ”

Okra asked her, "Grandma, where are you going?" ”

"There is one thing in the sacrificial temple in Hexian Village that belongs to our Feng family, grandma can't get it back, you must take it back, remember!"

When Okra saw that her grandmother was leaving, she hurriedly chased after her: "Grandma, wait for me!" ”

Grandma shook her head and said, "You should have died, grandma can't save you, grandma has to ......" She frowned as if there was something unspeakable, and continued: "From now on, there is only one yin person left in the world, our Feng family...... It's just you! ”

She knew that her grandmother was really leaving this time, and cried and shouted, "Grandma, no! Don't go! ”

"Girl, you're awake!" Song's wife came to the bed and asked with concern.

Okra's eyes wandered around the village house, and he returned to Song's wife and asked her, "Am I still alive?" ”

"Of course you're still alive, your life is big, but your father-in-law doesn't have your life, and you're out of gas for a long time!" Song's wife was full of regret.

Okra was surprised and asked, "Where did I come from?" ”

Song's wife replied: "Didn't you break your head by the river, and you don't even remember your father-in-law?" When you get up, you can all wear red wedding robes together! ”
