Chapter 77: The River God's Bride (1)
Before the words were finished, Mrs. Tang's voice was overshadowed by the noisy noise, Mrs. Tang subconsciously hugged Tang Qiyan's shoulder, Chu Ziqing and Yun Ximian glanced at each other, Chu Ziqing strode over, Yun Ximian hesitated for a while, but still stood in place and did not move, but his eyes were on Mrs. Tang, whose body was trembling.
"Madame, don't worry, why don't you tell me what the hell is going on, is it related to the river god bride on the list?" Yun Ximian guessed.
"You...... How do you know about the river god bride! Mrs. Tang's eyes widened in shock, and she even forgot to call the real person.
"What I saw on the list sticker also has Tang Qiyan's name on it." Yun Ximian told the truth.
Mrs. Tang's pupils constricted, her heart pounded, and finally she sighed with a helpless expression.
"Ma'am, what the hell is going on?" Yun Ximian asked. She vaguely sensed that this matter was not simple.
Mrs. Tang grabbed Tang Qiyan's hand, glanced at Tang Qiyan with pity, and said slowly: "Three years ago, there was a plague outbreak in the town, and the plague took many people's lives. ”
Yun Ximian nodded thoughtfully: "Then what about after that?" ”
"We built the temple of the river god, and after a few days of offering incense, the plague in the town really improved, and everyone became even more convinced." Mrs. Tang said carefully.
"And what is this river god bride? Is it a beauty pageant in town? Yun Ximian asked curiously, she thought it was so, but looking at Mrs. Tang's expression, she knew that this must be different from what she thought.
Mrs. Tang was inexplicably choked up by Yun Ximian's words, and explained: "That's a sacrifice to the river god, but the best thing to say is to marry a bride to the river god." ”
"Bride to the river god?" Yun Ximian was shocked by these words, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”
Mrs. Tang organized the language and said: "Not long after the plague is cured, strange things frequently appear in the town, people who go out in the middle of the night will find themselves dead on the street the next day, the river god messenger said that this is the soul of the Chu family, and it is necessary to pay tribute to the river god every six months to eliminate the resentment of the Chu family, which is really ridiculous!" Mrs. Tang said in the end, she slapped the table angrily, and settled down, Mrs. Tang continued: "But that group of devils blindly believe in the words of this river god messenger, that list is used to announce the people who have been selected as the bride of the river god in the past six months, and I have used money to fool the past several times before, but unfortunately there is little money left in the family, and the group of devils finally came...... "The devils in her mouth are naturally those villagers who blindly believe in rumors.
Is there such a thing? Yun Ximian frowned after hearing this, and asked, "What happened to the woman who was selected as the bride of the river god?" ”
Speaking of this, Madame Tang's expression became even more grief-stricken, and she said slowly: "They will put on a wedding dress for the woman who has chosen to be the bride of the river god, and then put the person on the raft, and the river god's messenger will bring the person to the river god. "To put it nicely, it's to send it over, and if it's not good, it's to push it directly into the lake and drown.
"......" Yun Ximian opened his mouth and looked at Tang Qiyan, who was still young, Tang Qiyan seemed to be the first time to hear this kind of thing, her eyes widened with fright, and her hands clutched her mother's clothes tightly, as if she was about to cry in the next second.
"Mother, I don't want to be the bride of the river god, I just want to accompany you at home!" Tang Qiyan was so frightened that she couldn't help crying at the thought of leaving her mother.
Mrs. Tang was distressed, hugged Tang Qiyan and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't cry, my mother won't let those devils take you away, even if you fight hard, you won't ......."
Yun Ximian looked at the crying appearance of the mother and daughter, and couldn't bear it, and had a plan in her heart......
"Hand over the bride!"
"Call the bride out!"
The villagers outside the door shouted more vigorously than one wave, Uncle Tang almost didn't stop anyone, fortunately Chu Ziqing held on to the fragile door frame, under Chu Ziqing's masked cold eyes, many villagers were frightened, but some were obsessed and wanted to break in.
"Old Tang, we didn't mean you! This is the order of the river god, you see if my daughter was also chosen as the bride of the river god, what a great honor it is to be the bride of the river god! Why are you so obsessed? The man who spoke was a forty or fifty-year-old man, with few hairs and muddy eyes, obviously a guy who drank all year round and didn't do his job.
"Yes, yes, yes! My sister is ...... too."
"And my daughter......"
Uncle Tang held back his anger and roared: "That's because you have no conscience and watch your daughter go to death!" "That's his only daughter! The heart of the meat raised from childhood to adulthood!
"I don't care, anyway, Lord River God has designated it as your daughter, no matter what, you have to hand over the person, otherwise we won't leave!" A group of villagers were clamoring to break inside, and there was a look of not being able to catch anyone and not stopping, even Chu Ziqing couldn't cure them, Chu Ziqing pursed his lips, although he couldn't kill anyone, but it was not illegal to beat him......
Just when Chu Ziqing was thinking about how to beat people to cripple but not to death, a hand put on Chu Ziqing's shoulder, and felt the warm temperature coming from the palm of that hand, Chu Ziqing paused slightly.
"Everyone is a neighbor, so why bother hurting your feelings for this." Yun Ximian said with a smile and a good way to get along with.
"Are you ......" The others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw such a fairy-like person, but after a closer look, they only felt that they were dazzled, this was obviously just a very ordinary-looking person.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's what you're talking about right now." Yun Ximian pressed Chu Ziqing's shoulder with a little effort, and Chu Ziqing understood what Uncle Shi meant to tell him not to interfere, and silently stood to the side.
"And what do you say about it?" The villagers are really embarrassed to see this incoming, they don't look up and don't look down on weekdays, but now that this kind of thing happens, it is inevitable that everyone has a mustard in their hearts.
Yun Ximian also had no idea for a while, and said hesitantly: "Since this is the bride specified by the river god, we can't offend the gods, so it's better to send Miss Tang over." ”
"You!" Uncle Tang thought that Yun Ximian had a good idea, and he almost fainted when he heard this, and just as he was about to rush up to theorize, Chu Ziqing grabbed his wrist and shook his head.
"Ziqing!" Uncle Tang looked at Chu Ziqing in disbelief, did he really want to watch Qiyan go to death?
"Uncle Shi has her arrangement, don't worry." Chu Ziqing said affirmatively.
Uncle Tang saw Chu Ziqing's serious face and believed a little, but what did Yun Ximian mean by this unexpected words?
When the villagers saw Yun Ximian say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wouldn't it be good if this is not good, otherwise it will hurt everyone's feelings if we let us do this." ”
"But since they are all said to be the bride of the river god, our Miss Tang naturally has to spend some time dressing up, why don't you come to pick her up at this time tomorrow, and let us give her time to say goodbye." Yun Ximian knew the reason, and said with emotion.
The villagers thought about it, and it seemed that there was some truth, so they nodded and agreed, Yun Ximian sent the villagers away with a smile, and bolted the door with his backhand, and his expression changed suddenly.
"Real person, this matter ......" Uncle Tang couldn't care about Chu Ziqing's obstruction, and hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry, I already have a solution, but I still ask Miss Tang not to go out these days, and I still need to prepare a wedding dress, I'm sorry for you." Yun Ximian said confidently.
"Okay, good ......" Hearing that his daughter didn't have to be sent away, Uncle Tang relieved himself and patted his chest, and he forgot to ask Yun Ximian what his plan was, so he hurriedly went to prepare what Yun Ximian said.
"Uncle Shi?" This time, even Chu Ziqing couldn't understand what Yun Ximian wanted to do, and looked at Yun Ximian suspiciously to solve it.
Yun Ximian rarely saw Chu Ziqing show a puzzled and cute side, smiled lightly and immediately covered it away, coughed unnaturally and turned his head away from looking at Chu Ziqing, and said, "I'll tell you after this matter, we will go to Chu's house now." "There may be some other clue there.
"Okay." Chu Ziqing agreed without hesitation, but he looked at Yun Ximian's slightly reddened earlobes and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.
The two rushed to Chu's house, Chu Ziqing saw Yun Ximian skillfully walking in the direction of the ancestral hall, and couldn't help but doubt in his heart, he didn't seem to have taken his uncle there when he came last time, how could his uncle know the way?
Yun Ximian didn't think about it so much, pushed open the door and walked in, Chu Ziqing followed closely behind, and saw Yun Ximian pick up the family tree, looking at something seriously.
Chu Ziqing had already memorized the contents of the family tree, but he didn't understand what Yun Ximian was reading, so he had to take a closer look, but found that Yun Ximian had been reading the first page of the family tree.
[Luo Shen Zhu is a collection of heaven and earth aura and turned into a treasure, has the effect of eliminating impurities in the air, speeding up the speed of cultivation, now living in the Luo Shen Temple for the benefit of the people, by the Chu family for generations to protect the Luo Shen Bead, can not have two hearts. 】
"Is there something wrong here?" Chu Ziqing looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything, so he turned his head and asked.
"No, nothing, just a little curious." Yun Ximian shook his head and put the family tree back.
After that, the two of them walked around Chu's house for a while, Chu Ziqing touched the scene, and often stood in front of a scene and was in a daze, Yun Ximian didn't bother, silently stood next to him and thought about things, they were in a daze together, and when Chu Ziqing saw enough, the two got up and went back to Tang's house, at this time Uncle Tang had already taken back a big red wedding dress, Yun Ximian touched it, and found that it was a good material.
