Chapter 490: On the way back to the palace
"River God." I don't know who in the crowd shouted excitedly, and then the person next to him tightly covered his mouth.
Fortunately, the god stick didn't hear the movement here, otherwise, he wouldn't have continued what happened later.
The people hiding in the shadows were all relieved, but they were really curious about what the river god looked like, so no one said to leave, but their eyes were fixed on the ripples on the river, waiting for the people below the river to emerge.
However, to their disappointment, what emerged from the river was not the so-called river god, but a man dressed in ordinary clothes, and his arm wrapped around the woman who had just been sent into the river, that is, Li Nuo.
Everyone originally thought that the man who came out of the river was an ordinary mortal transformed into a river god, but their hearts were still full of hope for him.
But as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he instantly threw everyone's hearts from a high place to the bottom: "Big brother, this girl is really good-looking, this time she will definitely be able to sell it for a good price." ”
The man who looked like a god stick looked at Li Nuo, touched his chin with his right hand, and looked evil: "The other party has paid a high price, so naturally he wants to find a good girl to go over." ”
"But isn't it a pity that such a beautiful girl was sold to them?" The drenched man saw that the stick seemed to have a bit of that meaning, so he asked euphemistically.
Hearing this, the fire in the eyes of the god stick was even worse, the other party's words were not wrong, although the buyer gave a lot of money this time, but if he sent it directly like this, and he didn't taste it, wouldn't it be a pity?
So the two looked at each other evilly and smiled, and both reached a consensus.
Just as he was about to make a move, Ji Ming suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and a cold long sword was on the neck of the divine stick.
The person who appeared out of thin air made both of them startled, but there were two of them, and the other party was only one person, so the two of them secretly looked at each other, and when they were about to get up and resist together, a large group of people came out of hiding.
"So you're not really a wizard." The couple who was supposed to marry their daughter today said hatefully.
If Li Yiyan and the others didn't show up today, tell them that this wizard is fake, she didn't really choose a wife for the river god, maybe her daughter was taken away by them, or even sold elsewhere.
"You liar, you have deceived us for so many years, and you return my son."
"Say, where did you sell my daughter?"
"If you deceive us in the name of the river god, you will be damned." ……
Everyone was talking about it, and for a while, the somewhat quiet riverside instantly became lively again.
"Shut up." The stick was a little impatient with the noise, and he yelled at the crowd, and the villagers were silent, not daring to say a word more.
After everyone had fallen silent, the man continued, "You say I'm going to be damned? ”
"Let me tell you, there are no ghosts and gods in this world at all, you are too superstitious to fall for me." Seeing that what he had done had been discovered, the god stick no longer pretended, but revealed his true nature and looked at them with a mocking expression: "If you don't believe too much that there are really ghosts and gods in this world, how can I take the opportunity to deceive you?" ”
"Besides, if you weren't stupid, would you have been deceived by me for so long? Thirty years on, none of you have discovered my tricks, who can blame that? The god sneered and looked at everyone, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, some remorseful, some self-reproachful, some disappointed......
"You still feel justified when you do something wrong, who gave you so much confidence?" Ning Yunxiao really couldn't stand it, such a scene was like a god stick teaching a group of villagers, it should have been a god stick who had done something wrong, but in this way, it felt like the villagers had committed a heinous felony, and the god stick was a sanctioner.
Hearing the voice, the divine stick's gaze moved to Ning Yunxiao's body, and after so long, he actually found that a stranger had appeared among the villagers.
But if you look closely, this woman looks pretty good: "Little girl, you are so beautiful, let ......"
Before he finished speaking, he felt that the muscles of his face instantly stiffened, and his mouth was tilted to the left, but he tried hard to speak, but there was no way to open and close his mouth, and even the sound could not be made, and saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
It looks like a facial paralysis patient.
Seeing that the god stick suddenly became like this, the villagers were all embarrassed, and he was obviously still saying this, but suddenly, he became like this. Everyone didn't know what was going on.
But when Ning Yunxiao saw this, he covered his mouth and chuckled: "Yo, is this a retribution for the wizard?" ”
"Because he used the name of the river god to sell people, the river god was angry and gave you a small lesson." Because the villagers had accused the gods of retribution sooner or later, Ning Yunxiao followed their words.
Hearing this, the heart of the god stick was also shocked, could it really be retribution?
But the villagers seemed to be relieved, and instantly became arrogant, and scolded the god stick again: "Didn't Fang just say that there are no ghosts and gods in this world? Doesn't that mean you won't be punished? But why did it become the way it is? ”
"I see, this little girl is right, that is, the river god is angry, give him a lesson."
"Gods are not to be easily blasphemed." The old man sighed leisurely.
In fact, it was not that the river god was angry, but that Ning Yunxiao sprinkled a handful of numbing medicine similar to hemp boiling in the direction of the divine stick, anesthetizing his facial nerves. And he happened to be talking just now, so his mouth was naturally crooked, and he looked like a person with facial paralysis.
The Divine Stick was escorted to the shrine by the elders, where he reported his crimes to his ancestors, and then spread dry wood around the high platform next to the central market in the village.
The elders ordered the stick to be sent to the high platform, tied him to the stone pillar on the high platform, and when the calculated time came, they had the stick burned alive with dry wood under the high platform.
The matter came to an end for the time being, and Li Yiyan and the others took the clues recorded by those who wanted to find their biological parents to the village, so that they could identify whether there were any children of their own.
After two or three days of busy work, many villagers found their children, but a large number of people did not have news of their children.
"It seems that the scope of this trafficker's business is quite large." Ning Yunxiao couldn't help but tease.
Li Yiyan frowned, so he instructed Ji Ming to let him go to each village to confirm the population and see if there were any people who had been displaced to other villages.
Although many people in the village who are looking for their biological parents have found their biological parents, Li Nuo's biological parents are still missing.
In the blink of an eye, they have been out of the palace for nearly half a month, and it is time to return to the palace. And for the follow-up of the lost population, let Ji Ming be responsible for sweeping the tail.
Li Nuo still played a great role in this matter, she was willing to use herself as bait to lure the god stick to show her feet, and she was bold and careful, and did not show the slightest fear in this matter.
Her performance made Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao quite satisfied.
happened to be unable to find her parents, so Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao decided to bring her back to the palace for their own use.
From beginning to end, Li Nuo only knew that Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao's identities were very unusual, but he never thought that they were the current emperor and queen mother.
When Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao said that they had been out for many days and were now ready to go back, Li Nuo asked them to bring themselves.
She also seems to know that she will not be able to find her biological parents no matter what.
Instead of staying in the village and meeting with her adoptive parents or Chen bully every day, it is better to simply go back with Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao, anyway, as I said earlier, they will be her masters in the future, and she will follow wherever they go.
And Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao also happened to have the intention of bringing her back to the palace, so without thinking too much, they took Li Nuo with them and returned to the palace together.
"We have a lot of rules in our family, we don't want you to be decent in our family, but we just hope you don't cause trouble." Although Ning Yunxiao knew that Li Nuo was not the kind of person who would cause trouble, he still couldn't help but explain to her.
It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and there are not only many rules in the palace, but also many dangers. If you don't pay attention, you may not even know how your life is gone.
Although Li Nuo wondered in his heart why Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao's family had so many rules, and how many of these rules there were. But she still nodded and promised: "Madame, don't worry, I'll be careful." ”
Because when they left the palace before, Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao both had the mentality of inspecting while playing, so the time spent on the road naturally increased. And they returned to the palace with a clear destination, so the return time was more than twice as fast as when they came, and they returned to the capital in less than two days.
Suddenly from a small remote village to a metropolis like Beijing, Li Nuo was overwhelmed along the way, curious about what was sold on the street.
It wasn't until now that Li Nuo suddenly remembered why she took Ning Yunxiao to the market that day, she looked like she was lacking in interest, it turned out that those things were already strange in the metropolis!
At that time, if Li Nuo knew Ning Yunxiao's true identity, he might not think so.
Along the way, although they hurried non-stop, but when it was time to rest, they still found a good inn to settle in, so the rest was sufficient, and the rush was not too hard.
After leaving the capital for more than half a month, when I came back, I suddenly had the illusion that things were right and wrong.
Although the streets are still the same, and the vendors who trade on the streets every day have not changed, there is always the illusion that something has changed.
Perhaps, it is because they used to be in remote villages, and they came into contact with some simple villagers, and most of the vegetables sold on the streets were vegetables grown by the villagers themselves.
And as soon as I returned to the capital, the things sold on the streets were dazzling and overwhelming, so I had such an illusion.
