The title of "mother" is something I have always been reluctant to mention, but now it has become a reason for my father to stop me, so I was stunned and asked, didn't my mother disappear in the storm three years ago, how could she interfere with me as a sacrificial boy?

"It's a dream, your mother told me in a dream last night, if you can't be this sacrificial boy."

The father smoked a cigarette and stared at the statue of the female dragon king and dragon lady in the hall, as if it was as real as the mother told him in person. My father said that my mother gave him a dream last night, and said that she couldn't let me be a sacrificial boy! also said that the current Zijianghe is no longer what it used to be, which makes me feel unbelievable, did my mother really say so in her dream?

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded outside the house, Gao Chunlin walked forward with a fat man in a zodiac robe, and led the people of our entire village to our door lively, welcoming me, a sacrificial boy, and leaving for the Zijiang River to hold a sacrificial ceremony.

The whole village came, and my father was a little embarrassed and couldn't stop it, so he could only silently accept me as a sacrificial boy. The Mr. Yin and Yang in charge of the sacrifice, everyone called him Fang Daochang, he put on a yellow vest for me, saying that it was the clothes of the sacrificial boy, and then the people in the village beat gongs and drums, crackling and firecrackers, and welcomed me all the way to the bank of the Zijiang River, where there was a parked fishing boat, and there were some fresh fruits and vegetables on the boat, and other sacrificial foods such as land food.

The chief told me that the priest had to drive the fishing boat to the middle of the river alone, light a red candle, and wait until the candle light was extinguished, then the sacrificial ceremony was completed, and then the boat could be sailed back to the shore. I thought it was difficult to be a sacrificial boy, but it was so simple, I learned this kind of thing of driving a fishing boat at the age of five, but Fang Daochang repeatedly told me that once the sacrificial boat sailed out, it would be necessary to complete the sacrificial ceremony, and he could not give up halfway, he grabbed the peachwood sword and shook it from side to side, and with a chatter in his mouth, I rowed the oars and oars, and drove the fishing boat slowly towards the middle of the river.

The sky was clear and cloudless, blowing a cool breeze, which made me feel good, and after a while, I rowed skillfully, came to the middle of the water of the Zijiang River, lit the candle according to what the chief said, and placed the bow of the boat upright, and the rest I sat next to it, waiting for the candle to burn and return to the shore.

I thought everything was going well, but the sky suddenly changed, the originally calm river surface, suddenly became waves, the blowing breeze suddenly turned into a howling wind, the clear sky was quickly shrouded in dark clouds, the sudden change surprised me a lot, before I could react, this rain as big as a pea, pouring down!

I subconsciously wanted to protect the candle, but it was extinguished by the rain at once, not to mention, I myself became a soup chicken, the wind and rain became heavier, the water on the river surface was stronger, the fishing boat swayed left and right with the waves, this bad weather made me feel dangerous, and I couldn't control the sacrifice at the moment, I was drenched in the torrential rain, trying to fiddle with the oars to row to the shore, but the waves were too fierce for people to control the fishing boat.

I couldn't get the boat to the shore, so I had to hold on to the left and right sides of the boat and try to get down and try not to let the wind into the water! Although I have been a swimmer since I was a child, the water is so rough in the face of such bad weather, if I fall into the water, I will not be able to stabilize my direction, and I will soon drown in such a torrent. So the fishing boat became a life-saving straw, and I must not leave the boat until this storm has stopped.

Suddenly there was a "click" sound! The critical situation was even worse, and the fishing boats were cracked one by one! I tried to rely on the fishing boat to stabilize it, but the bottom of the boat began to seep up through the cracked shards, and I wondered in horror what was going on. The fishing boat is brand new, and the hull has not collided with hard objects such as reefs, how can it easily break!

Soon, the crack in the bottom of the boat was even more shattered by the impact of the waves, and the seeping water flooded the entire boat at once! When the boat was broken into slag and was sunk to the bottom of the river, I took a deep breath and fell into the water, in the water I finally found the right direction, tried my best to swim to the shore position, but because the waves were too strong to roll, I was trapped in the river and could not swim at all, and the wind and waves were more and more turbulent and churning, in this dangerous situation, I suddenly felt that the underwater water was surging a little strangely, and there was a strong tremor amplitude, as if there was something moving under the water.

Not good! The moment I felt the danger, I didn't have time to react, and my feet under the water were entangled by something, and I was forcibly dragged into the water coldly, but fortunately, I took a breath of air in time to not be pulled into the water and drowned.

I was dragged into the water, my first reaction was to desperately struggle to swim up, but my feet were entangled by two black things similar to aquatic plants, pulling me to the bottom of the water, their strength was very strong, I didn't even have room to resist, this underwater turbid with yellow, pulled down by these two things more and more, the breath in my mouth was also decreasing, and I gradually felt suffocated.

The deeper I went, I saw some scenes at the bottom of the river, and surprisingly there were a lot of bones, and I immediately recognized them as fish bones, and the number was terrifying! I didn't have the heart to think about how there were so many fish bones at the bottom of the river. These two things that held me sinking, sticking out from under the corpses of these fish bones, and pulling and consuming until I ran out of oxygen in my mouth, and before I was on the verge of death, my consciousness became numb, and my head was dizzy and sleepy and wanted to sleep.

My eyes narrowed, and dimly I saw a figure appear in the water, she seemed to be a girl, with long hair, naked without any clothes, swimming quickly in front of me, untying the things wrapped around my feet, and swimming towards the surface of the water with her arms around me.

I was hugged by this girl, and I felt a trace of warmth in my already cold body, and the moment she swam up from the bottom of the river to the surface and breathe the air again, I felt relieved, and the girl dragged me through the water for some distance, and finally brought me to the riverbank.

I was thrown to the ground by the girl, gasping for breath and coughing, spitting out the water I had drunk.

And the girl was standing next to me, so naked facing me, I was the first time I saw the girl's unclothed body, coughing and red-faced.

And what makes me feel even more strange is that there are a lot of strange golden words written on this girl's body, almost all over the body except for the face, these words are flashing dark light one by one, just when I was stunned, the girl she also seemed to notice my gaze, and the silver teeth also felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly turned around and picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, walked in front of me and asked me directly, why did a person fall into the Zijiang River?

I saw that although the girl who saved me was bigger than me, she should not be much older, so I relieved myself and told her all about the sacrifice. The girl listened and told me with a little disdain that a sacrifice like this had no effect at all. I asked her why it didn't work? She looked at the calm surface of the Zijiang River, and after being silent for a while, she said that there is no longer a dragon king in the current Zijiang River, and the reason why the fishermen can't catch the previous fishing products in the river is because under the water of the Zijiang River, there is something that eats all the fish in the river! This quickly reminded me of the piles of fish bones I saw at the bottom of the river, could it be that this is really the reason for the decline in fish production, as this girl said?

My curiosity was ignited, so I asked the girl what was the thing that ate fish at the bottom of the Zijiang River? The girl only told me that the thing was pulling me into the water, but she didn't say exactly what it was. On the other hand, the girl warned me again, saying that I might as well worry about myself if I had this idle time to manage the river! I asked her what she wanted me to worry about myself. The girl looked at me thoughtfully: "It's simple, because someone wants to harm you." ”
