As soon as the woman said it, Li Yiyan and the others instantly understood that the extra people who had lost their parents in this village were probably deceived by those traffickers through this method, and it was absolutely impossible for that trafficker to do this only in that woman's village, there were definitely other villages.

As long as he thought that these traffickers were so fearless and did not pay any attention to the laws and regulations of their country, Li Yiyan was angry.

It seems that his decree is not enough to scare the traffickers, and it is time for him to change the decree, and for these traffickers who are tearing apart happy families, they must pay something.

"So how can we stop this from happening again?" While Li Yiyan was thinking about how to improve the decree, Ning Yunxiao was thinking about how to solve the problem of so many lost people in front of him.

Before Li Yiyan could speak, Li Nuo said, "We should go to that village to have a look." ”

"It's useless." Before Li Nuo could say what he was going to do in that village or what he was going to do, the woman replied, "All the people in our village listen to the god stick now, and they don't listen to the others at all. ”

"If you let the people of your village see with their own eyes what the god stick is doing, will they believe it?" Ning Yunxiao saw that as long as the woman heard the name of the magic stick, she felt inferiority inexplicably, and she couldn't help but become more curious about this magic stick in her heart.

What was it that could make her so afraid?

However, this just aroused Ning Yunxiao's competitive spirit. The more difficult the characters to settle, the more Ning Yunxiao wants to try to conquer.

Hearing Ning Yunxiao's sworn appearance, the woman couldn't help but be a little curious: "Then how can we let the people in the village see these things that the god stick has done?" ”

"I just heard you say that the god stick is to let the boys and girls sit on a special mat, as long as it reaches the depths of the river, even people with mats will sink into the river, and after that, you will all disperse, and only the god stick will stay by the river alone, right?" Ning Yunxiao didn't answer the woman's words, but asked rhetorically.

The woman didn't know what Ning Yunxiao wanted to say or what ideas came to mind in her heart, but she still nodded.

"I see." Ning Yunxiao was about to speak again, but Li Nuo, who was already clear on the side, answered: "Madame means to let the villagers pretend to leave, and then hide in the dark, secretly observing what the god stick is doing by the river, and then a praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches behind." ”

"Yes." Ning Yunxiao didn't expect Li Nuo to guess what she was going to say next, so when Li Nuo said what she was thinking in her heart, she was stunned at first, and then nodded appreciatively.

Although I know the general plan, but: "If there are no boys and girls to pay tribute, then the magic stick will not 'cast spells'!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall that had been discussing extremely lively just now fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at the guard who spoke, so frightened that he thought he had said the wrong thing, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Ning Yunxiao's interest was extinguished in an instant, and as a result, her previous seamless plan could not be implemented.

Just when Ning Yunxiao was about to say that she would let herself be used as bait to lure the magic stick out, Li Yiyan stifled her thoughts in the cradle as soon as she opened her mouth: "This matter is too dangerous, Madame can only plan, not participate." ”

When Ning Yunxiao heard this, he instantly looked like a deflated ball, glaring at Li Yiyan sadly.

"If you don't buy it, you don't sell it." But after a while, Ning Yunxiao suddenly became excited, "I went to make a deal with that magic stick, saying that I wanted to buy a little daughter-in-law to come back, then he would have to sell it, and then he would definitely find an excuse to find a young woman in the village." ”

It sounds reasonable, the buyer has already been decided, but the young girl who wants to sell it as an item has not yet been decided.

"I'm willing to take the place of the woman who 'married the river god'." Just when Li Yiyan and the others were thinking about who to send, Li Nuo automatically asked for help.

After the personnel were all confirmed, Li Yiyan and the others followed the woman back to their village, first met with the elders and the village chief, and after briefly explaining the situation to them, they finally persuaded them to try to see if there was really something wrong with this magic stick.

For these villagers who unconditionally trust the god stick, they are simply looking for trouble.

As soon as the woman broke the news, Ning Yunxiao quickly got in touch with the god stick and the traffickers. She claimed that she was going to find a daughter-in-law for her son, and deliberately thought that the magic stick was sending a message that 'as long as this thing is successful, it will be rewarded'.

The trafficker engaged in this kind of business for money, so when Ning Yunxiao passed on such a message, the god stick really began to get busy, going around the village to find an unmarried woman.

It didn't take too much time, the god stick had already looked for a candidate in the village, and the time for 'marrying' to the river god was set by Ning Yunxiao, and she wanted someone after four days, so the preparation time for the god stick to the woman and her family was three days.

And in these three short days, Li Nuo has already switched his identities with the woman. When the day comes to 'get married', in fact, the woman who is really dressed up and wants to 'marry' to the river god is Li Nuo.

Before 'getting married', the god stick sent a ball, which Li Nuo had to eat.

This is a feigned death pill that holds your breath. The drug takes effect after half an hour.

At that time, it was exactly the time when Li Nuo arrived at the riverside and sat on the mat and sank to the bottom of the river.

"Li Nuo, are you afraid?" As long as Ning Yunxiao thought of soaking in the river for a while, he felt an inexplicable chill rushing up from the soles of his feet. Although it is now summer, there is still a gap between the water in the river and the surface of the river.

Li Nuo looked back at Ning Yunxiao and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Madame, don't worry! I'm going to get it done. Li Nuo saw that Ning Yunxiao was always frowning, so he comforted him.

Everything was ready, seeing that it was almost time to send Li Nuo out of the door, it was inconvenient for Li Yiyan and the others to stay in that family's house any longer, so they went to the river first and waited.

Sure enough, they had just found a place to hide by the river, and the sound of horns and suona came from far and near.

Hearing that the voice was getting closer, Ning Yunxiao couldn't help but start to get nervous: "If it's ......"

"The queen relaxes for the time being, it will be fine." Before Ning Yunxiao could say what he was worried about, he was interrupted by Li Yiyan.

While they were talking, the special "family sending procession" had already arrived at the riverside. This scene looks a bit grand. If you don't know, you probably think that it was a squire or a local official who took a wife.

But when people get married, the family sending team is full of joy, but this team is crying and mourning one by one, anyway, it looks like all kinds of things are wrong.

The two people at the front, one in front of the other, walked one after the other, carrying a scroll on their shoulders, which looked like an oversized scroll from a distance.

Behind them, there is a team blowing trumpets and suona, followed by the bride's sedan chair, and after the bride's sedan chair, there is a group of villagers who came to see them off.

Because Li Yiyan and the others only told the village elders and the village chief about this matter, as well as the family of the family who was chosen to have a daughter. The rest of the villagers are unaware, so they follow behind the sedan chair, as long as they think of the girl in the sedan chair who can be regarded as growing up by themselves, from today on, they will "marry" to the river god, and they will not be able to see her again in the future, and their hearts are very uncomfortable.

However, no matter how reluctant they are, they have no choice.

Blowing and blowing all the way, the family sending team came to the riverside in a lively but somewhat sad strange atmosphere.

The two men who walked in front put down the mat on their shoulders, spread it out and put it on the river, and one squatted on one side and grabbed the mat so that it would not be carried away by the current.

The four people carrying the sedan chair slowly put the sedan chair down, and the two people in front also reached out to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, so that the matchmaker on the side could step forward to lead the bride out of the sedan chair.

Li Nuo had a large red cloth on her head, and she could only see the tip of her toes, not anywhere else, let alone the road.

But fortunately, she was supported by a matchmaker, who helped her all the way to the river, and then helped her sit on the mat on the river.

walked up and shook for a while, and when Li Nuo sat down, the mat no longer swayed, but compared to the boat, there was still not much security.

"The auspicious time has arrived." The magic stick jumped wildly by the river, and seeing that Li Nuo had already sat down, and he didn't really calculate any auspicious time, he called casually.

Although the attitude of the god stick was extremely perfunctory, the two unmarried men holding the mat seemed to have completed an extremely sacred thing, and they let go of their hands together with solemn expressions, watching the mat slowly float towards the middle of the river.

While watching the mat drifting into the distance and gradually sinking, the god stick jumped again by the river.

Seeing that it was almost over, the god stick turned back to the villagers who came to see him off and said, "Okay, you can go back." ”

And when the villagers saw that the ritual was finished, as usual, when the god stick told them to go back, they obediently went back.

It was only halfway through, and the village chief and elders did not take them back to the village directly, but took them to the place arranged for them by Li Yiyan's sight to hide.

In fact, they were also very curious about what the Divine Stick had been doing alone by the river for so long, but at that time, the Divine Stick told them that the secret of heaven should not be revealed, and coaxed them back under various pretexts, not letting them know what he was doing.

But this time, after Li Yiyan said this, they decided to hide in the dark and take a look, perhaps, they wanted to tell Li Yiyan in their hearts that their wizard did not do anything unseemly, but just cast a spell by the river to communicate with the river god.

However, they hid in the shadows, and after a while they saw the stick whistle towards the river, which seemed to be a signal.

It wasn't long before a ripple erupted on the surface of the river, and then approached the shore.
