The roar of the Yellow River became more and more intense, as if it was the chirping of some animal, and it also seemed to be the miserable screams of many people, in short, the sound was chaotic.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through my head, and an even more terrifying, weird thought came to me: this thing that made a strange sound couldn't be the thing in the giant pit in the western suburbs of Laomiao Village, right? It's not impossible! Experts from the provincial capital have tested on the spot before, and the water coming out of the giant pit is the water of the Yellow River, which is enough to prove that the bottom of the pit and the Yellow River are connected.

When the group heard the sound, they spun in circles faster and danced more frequently with the tools in their hands, as if the ritual had reached its climax.

After a few minutes, the strange sound in the distance gradually faded away, and the crowd in circles gradually slowed down, until at last they all stopped, and everyone knelt down towards the statue of the goddess Ha Po.

This time, not everyone knelt down, those with shovels and pickaxes did not kneel, but went to the two statues of the river woman and dug up with shovels or pickaxes, and after only a few diggings, they bent down and pulled a snake out of the soil and threw it into the crowd.

The scene was so sudden and bloody that we were so shocked that we took a few steps back.

That's a living snake, it's been eaten by life!!

The dozen or so men with tools were digging and throwing, and in less than ten minutes, seventy or eighty snakes had been dug up. The snakes were all thrown into the crowd, and they were all caught and eaten alive.

How is this possible? So many snakes! Is this a snake's nest?

I was puzzled.

Those who knelt on the ground, whether old men or young people, were like they hadn't eaten for days, and these living snakes were like delicious food, and they ate them alive in their stomachs......

We were stunned for a few minutes before we came to our senses.

"Brother Long, what kind of village is this?" I asked.

Zhang Kailong shook his head and replied, "I don't know either!" This is the first time I've come here to handle a case! ”

After another five or six minutes, the dozen or so snake catchers stopped and at the same time bent down to grab a few snakes from the pit they had just dug out and devoured them. I'm sick to watch!

At this time, I accidentally saw an old man kneeling in front of me, and faintly saw that there was a black gas in his eyebrows, and his eyes were a little abnormal.

Could it be that these people are also crushed by demons? Combined with my previous experience, I thought conditionally to launch.

Thinking so, I immediately secretly used the heat flow in my body, slowly moved my eyes, looked at the group of people in front of me again, and found that they had no black gas on their chests except for a little black gas in the center of their eyebrows, as if they were not ghosts......

Almost at the same time, another possibility emerged, could it be that he was also hit by Gu?

I hurriedly looked at the mysterious thin old man kneeling in the second row, he was also facing me with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, I actually noticed just now, among these seventy or eighty people, only he and the child did not eat live snakes, which means that they are different from others!

The old man sneered again, then slowly stood up and led the child to the wooden sculpture.

Everyone seemed to have great respect for the old man, and when they saw him, they knelt down again.

The thin old man didn't say anything, but slowly took off the hat on the little boy's head and the mask on his mouth.

We all stared curiously, trying to see what the boy really looked like.

When I first saw the top of the boy's head, I chuckled in my heart, and there was a pair of horns about ten centimeters long on the top of his head, which looked like sheep's horns, but the color was red. Immediately afterwards, the mask that was buckled to the boy's mouth was also removed.

Oh, my God! If I had just seen a pair of red horns on the top of his head, I would have chuckled in my heart, and when I saw the boy's mouth, I suddenly felt very bad, he actually had a cat's mouth, and there were whiskers on both sides!

This is not a person, this is certainly not a person! I exclaimed in my heart.

When everyone saw the boy's appearance, they were not surprised, but kowtowed even more reverently.

One, two, eighteen ...... I counted, and each of them kowtowed ninety-nine times before I stopped.

The thin old man put the boy back on the mask, put on his hat again, and led him back to the back of the crowd, all the while no one spoke, like a silent movie.

I was tempted to go over and ask the strange thin old man what they were doing, but at this moment the otherwise quiet crowd suddenly stirred, and these seventy or eighty people whispered in twos and threes, as if they had suddenly been unlocked.

I'm confused, we're all confused!

"You ...... Who are you looking for? ”

An old man standing at the front suddenly asked me.

At this time, these people also looked up at me, as if it was strange that we would be here.

"I'm Captain Zhang Kailong of the Hekou District Public Security Bureau's Task Force, may I ask what you guys are doing here?"

Zhang Kailong was also a little surprised when he heard that the old man, who was originally blind to us, suddenly opened his mouth, but his face instantly returned to calm, and he asked sharply.

"We? We're sacrificing to the river! ”

When the old man heard that the other party was a policeman, his voice immediately softened.

"Sacrificial river? What you did just now ......"

Zhang Kailong didn't know how to ask the second half of the sentence halfway through the question, and he couldn't ask directly: Why are you kowtowing and eating live snakes!

"We are here to pray for forgiveness from the river god!" Then he pointed to the wooden sculpture of the river woman.

With this finger, the old man trembled, and his face instantly turned pale.

"This ...... What is the idol of this river god Niangniang...... How did you end up here? No...... Isn't it supposed to be in the Yellow River Dragon Palace? ”

Hearing him shout, I also understood, it turned out that this group of people had no idea about their previous behavior, and they had just regained consciousness.

The crowd had already exploded, and it was estimated that most of the people saw this huge bronze statue as soon as they regained consciousness, and they were already frightened.

And what about the skinny old man? At this time, I suddenly thought that only the thin old man was conscious just now, but when I looked for it again, there was no longer this old and young figure in the crowd.

I looked around, and I saw that the thin old man led the child to the southwest, the speed of the two was very fast, the old man's pace was very peculiar, and it was a little bit of our Yellow River Taoist Taoism, and the little boy seemed to be floating forward as a whole.

"You know those two?" I pointed to an old man and a young man who was walking away.

The people looked at my fingers, looked at them, and replied, "It's the high priest!" He's a man of God in our Little River Village! ”

"Little River Village? Your village is also called Xiaohe Village? ”

I wondered.
