The music in the distance sounded to us, nothing special. But Full Moon's mother has lived here for many years, and she must have been used to hearing about it for a long time.

With tears in her voice, she staggered outside.

A few of us hurriedly chased after us. As he ran, he asked, "What do you mean?" What does it mean to enter the water? ”

The old lady cried, "The sacrifice is coming to an end, and the full moon is about to be put into the water." ”

I was taken aback: "Why is it that there is no warning at all, and it is going to be put into the water?" ”

The old lady said, "In the past, when the sacrifice was held, from the beginning to the end, there were always people blowing and blowing. It's too fast today. I haven't had time to see my daughter one last time. ”

The three of us quickened our pace and ran to the river.

There was a bonfire burning there, as it had been a few days ago. There weren't many people sitting around the campfire. I looked around, but there was no shadow of a full moon.

Full Moon's mother's body was trembling, she grabbed the hemp rope and asked, "Where is my daughter?" Where is she? ”

Hehe laughed twice, pointed to the river, and said, "It's inside." ”

We turned our heads to look, the water was sparkling, and there was a shadow of a full moon somewhere.

Full Moon's mother sat on the ground and began to cry. Fork the Chinese Total.

Ma Rope happily shouted: "Come two people, take care of the old man." Sure enough, two women came out of the crowd, one on the left and one on the right, and dragged the full moon's mother away.

The three of us walked up to the hemp rope menacingly. Stared at him deadly.

Ma Rope smiled and said, "Three." Why are you looking at me like that? As I said a long time ago, the full moon is a sacrifice, and the sacrifice is a predetermined thing. ”

Mr. Lu said: "Why didn't you inform us? ”

Twinerope stretched out a finger, scratched his hair gently, and said, "Why didn't I inform you?" Hehe, don't you know what you have in your heart? If you come, will you still be able to offer this sacrifice? ”

As we spoke, more and more people rushed over. Obviously, these people, like us, did not know that the hemp rope was sacrificed in advance. After hearing the sound of silk and bamboo, he hurried over.

Seeing that the people around him were gathering more and more, Mr. Lu's face became more and more ugly. I think he could kill hemp rope at any time.

Mr. Lu suddenly turned around, took two steps in great stride, and stood next to the campfire. He said loudly: "The hemp rope said, the river god passed down the word, and the three of us came here thousands of miles to sacrifice our bodies. Say we're here to die. I won't leave, I will obediently make sacrifices. I'm going to sue you now, it's all nonsense. We'll leave now and see if anyone can stop us. ”

After Mr. Lu said this, he looked at the hemp rope defiantly.

Ma Rope smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, I still say the same thing, people can't fight with gods. No one here will stop you, you will stay for yourself. ”

Mr. Lu sneered. "We'll leave now." Folks, you can see clearly that the river god does not exist at all, and the so-called prophecy is also false. ”

Subsequently. He beckoned to Xue Qian and me and said, "Let's go." ”

Xue Qian and I followed Mr. Lu outside.

At this time, the hemp rope said: "Wait." ”

Mr. Lu stretched out his hand and took the big knife off my back. He squinted his eyes and asked, "What?" Old man Ma plans to stop us instead of the river god? ”

Ma Rope smiled: "You are willing to sacrifice, of course I will not stop you." Only, I have a word to say. ”

He walked over slowly. And all three of us were a little nervous.

These days, the hemp rope table xiàn is too calm. This confident look made me feel very unsure.

He walked up to the three of us and said with a smile, "Three, I'm not a living person. ”

The three of us exchanged a look. I said, "I know you're not alive. I smell the stench of corpses on you. ”

Ma Rope smiled and said, "This body is not mine either." Truth be told, I am a man of hell. We met in Huaicheng. ”

I thought to myself, "Sure enough. As we suspected, he was the ghost. ”

Mr. Lu said with a smile: "Old man, you lack virtue if you do this." The full moon has no grievances with you, why do you hurt her? ”

Ma Rope smiled: "You don't understand the retribution of blessings and misfortunes in the underworld. ”

I thought to myself, "What kind of retribution is this kind of nonsense?" ”

Mr. Lu glanced at me, and then said, "Since we have waited for the old man, let's quickly take out the Danfang." What kind of river god sacrifice or something, forget it. ”

I understood what Mr. Lu meant, so I first coaxed the ghost to hand over the Danfang, and then immediately turned his face to avenge the full moon.

The hemp rope is still the same smiling face. He pointed to the river and said, "Danfang is down there." We can only sink our bodies to get the Danfang. ”

As soon as the words of hemp rope came out, we were all stunned.

Ma Rope raised his voice and asked with a smile: "Three, can you still leave?" ”

We hung our heads and remained silent, which was kind of a tacit acquiescence not to leave.

He cried out again, "Three, will you go into this river?" ”

Mr. Lu sighed and said, "It's okay to go to the river, but we're not for the river god......"

Ma Rope smiled beside us: "Three, don't be hard-mouthed. ”

It's basically threatening us. I understood what he meant. If we don't cooperate, he won't hand over Danfang.

Now that we have agreed to jump into the river, there is no need to argue about what the purpose is.

The hemp rope triumphantly shouted at the villagers, "Have you seen the power of the river god? ”

The villagers were very excited and replied in unison, "I saw it." ”

Ma Rope asked again: "Do you still want to worship the river god sincerely in the future?" ”

The villagers were passionate: "Pious, must be pious." ”

Xue Qian sighed and said, "It's good now." did not help the villagers to break the superstition, but was used by the hemp rope to deceive these villagers. ”

He waved his hand and said, "The sacrifice begins." ”

Then, the sound of bamboo sounded again.

As the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, I suddenly heard a sound of water.

Yesterday we were far from the river, and we didn't notice anything. But today we were standing by the river, and I noticed that there was something wrong with the river.

Something seemed to be swimming to the music.

My eyes widened to see clearly, but the river was so dark that I couldn't see anything. You can only see the light of the fire shining on the water, and the river is flooded with layers of strange ripples.

Halfway through the sound of silk and bamboo, it suddenly stopped. I turned my head and saw that it was the goddess who had arrived.

She looked terrified, but tried her best to show her composure.

The villagers were all looking at her, and she walked quickly to the hemp rope and whispered, "Let's find a place to talk." ”

Ma Rope smiled: "It's okay, these three are their own people, you can say it." ”

The goddess gave the three of us a strange look, and then said worriedly, "Something is wrong." The river god is going to punish us. ”

Ma Rope smiled: "How do you say it?" ”

The goddess said, "I dreamed of the river god again. He asked you to make a sacrifice by name. The goddess sighed and said, "The two of us are in a group, and if something happens to you, I will be the next one." I won't announce this news, you run away quickly, I'll pack up my things and run away. ”

Ma Rope waved his hand and smiled, "Don't run away." ”

The goddess looked at the hemp rope strangely: "Don't run away?" ”

Ma Rope smiled: "Have you forgotten what I often say?" Man cannot fight with God. If the river god wants to kill us, it will be useless for us to flee to the ends of the earth. What does he want us to do, let's do it. ”

The goddess hesitated and asked, "What should I do?" ”

He pointed to the villagers: "Tell them the instructions of the river god." ”

I thought to myself: "The so-called river god, the eight achievements are pretended by the ghosts themselves. He wants to take the Danfang with us, of course he is going to go into the water, and it is really a good idea to take this opportunity to dress himself up as a faithful believer of the river god. ”

Sure enough, after the goddess announced the order of the river god. All the villagers looked at the hemp rope in amazement.

And the hemp rope wasted no time in publicizing: "To make a sacrifice to the river god, not to die, but to be called away by his old man to enjoy the blessings." I have served his old man all my life, and I am very happy to finally get this opportunity. ”

The villagers also smiled, and a few even said enviously to the hemp rope: "Congratulations." ”
