Mr. Lu had the best skills, and he climbed to the top of the wall first. %d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3 He looked outside, turned back to us, and said, "There's no one outside, come out." ”

Rural walls. Most of them are anti-gentlemen and not villains. But the walls in this village can't even be defended by a gentleman. We jumped out with ease.

Then, following the voice, we walked through the village in the dark.

The village was not big, and there was a voice leading the way. We quickly found the source of the sound.

We hid behind a broken wall, and we looked over there.

I saw a large bonfire blazing. The villagers sat in a large circle around the fire.

The fire shone brightly, illuminating the faces of the villagers. Cloth edge other skills.

Xue Qian whispered: "The hemp rope is enough to fit, they burned such a fire here, no one cares, let's light an oil lamp." and be afraid. ”

I laughed softly and said, "Oil lamps burn lamp oil, and bonfires burn dry wood, can this be the same?" ”

Xue Qian pointed to the bonfire and said, "Look, there are girls there." ”

When I heard this, I almost laughed out loud: "Old Xue, don't you act like a pervert?" ”

Xue Qian pointed to the bonfire and said, "Look carefully." This girl is unusual. ”

I poked my head out and looked over at the campfire. I found that in the circle of the villagers besieging the city, there was a girl in a white dress. The girl was dancing around a bonfire, while a few villagers were playing an unknown musical instrument to her accompaniment.

This girl is not very old, at most fifteen or sixteen years old. In between her dancing, I saw her face, very beautiful, with a fairy aura that was not polluted by the world.

Xue Qian smiled in my ear and said, "How is it?" Stunned, right? ”

I nodded and said, "Stunned, stunned." I didn't expect these villagers to have entertainment. They have a lot of nightlife. ”

Xue Qian said: "I think something is wrong, why don't these villagers laugh?" ”

I took a closer look. Isn't it? None of the villagers laughed or spoke to each other. They sat on the ground. His expression was solemn, as if he was attending a funeral.

I looked at the villagers for a moment, then turned my gaze to the girl. I saw that her face was shining, reflecting the light of fire, and I didn't react at first. But after a while, I understood, and the girl was crying.

The girl's dancing is very beautiful, she should be very happy, I don't know why, she sheds tears.

A few minutes later, an old voice said, "Now it's okay." ”

The villagers all stood up and said to the girl in a chaotic manner, "Congratulations, congratulations." ”

The girl's tears flowed down like beads of broken thread. After a while, she couldn't control her feelings and cried.

Ma Rope said: "Full moon, today is your good day, how can you cry?" It's unlucky. ”

I thought to myself, "When the mother of the hemp rope gave birth to her, she happened to see a hemp rope, so she gave him this name." And this girl is called Full Moon, and it is estimated that she was born on the night of the full moon. ”

Full Moon looked at the hemp rope and cried even more, she said: "Life is gone, what else is auspicious or unlucky?" ”

Ma Rope sighed and said, "Girl, don't you dare to say that, the river god takes a fancy to you, it is your blessing, and it is also our blessing." ”

Full Moon looked at the hemp rope with tears on her face: "What you say is better than what you sing, you think this is a blessing, why don't you go yourself?" ”

Ma Rope laughed twice and said, "I'm too old to serve the river god." ”

The two of them in just a few words. But I heard the problem.

I whispered, "Mr. Lu, which one are they?" Do you want to use this girl to sacrifice to the river god? ”

Mr. Lu nodded slightly and said, "I think so." The girl was dancing around the bonfire, probably showing off her talent to the river god. ”

I said: "This bad habit has been hard to eradicate since the Ximen leopard in the Warring States period. Now that it's the 21st century, why does this place still retain this set? ”

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Customs are the same as antiques. Antiques have been handed down, and customs have been handed down. The village is terribly poor, and it is clear that it does not have regular contact with people from the outside world. It is not surprising that such a ridiculous thing is done. ”

Ma Rope looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early, let's do it, send the full moon on the road." ”

Then several stout women approached. With white cloth in their hands, they are wrapping the full moon in a circle.

Full Moon muttered discontentedly, but didn't resist.

At this time, a miserable cry was heard in the distance. Then, an aunt stumbled over.

She broke up the crowd and ran to the full moon, where she began to cry with her head in her arms.

I saw that this aunt was wearing a cloak and looked haggard, but between her eyebrows and eyes, she looked very similar to the full moon, and she was probably the mother of the full moon.

Ma Rope patted Aunt on the shoulder and said, "Sister, don't cry, it's time for your family to serve the river god in the full moon." What a glorious thing this is, what is there to cry about? ”

Auntie just shook her head. I cried even more sadly.

Xue Qian sighed and said, "This mother and daughter are really pitiful, should we help them?" ”

Before Mr. Lu and I could answer, we heard the aunt say, "Why must it be the full moon in our house?" Wouldn't it be possible to find someone else instead? ”

Ma Rope sighed and said, "Where can I find someone else at this time?" ”

The aunt said: "I heard that there are three outsiders here today, let's find one at random and throw him into the river, won't we just make a deal?" Why is it for our mothers? ”

As soon as Auntie said this, the three of us were stunned.

I smiled and said to Xue Qian, "Don't you want to help them?" Now's your chance. ”

Xue Qian snorted and said, "They are not worth helping, and they are white-eyed wolves if they are saved." ”

I only heard Ma Rope sigh and said, "Sister, you don't know anything." Those three people couldn't move. ”

The aunt asked, "Why can't you move?" Are they three-headed and six-armed, or what's going on? No matter how powerful they are, there are so many of us, we can still catch them. ”

Ma Rope said: "These three people, the river god himself said, can be sacrificed after three days." It's a little too early. ”

The three of us were shocked when we heard this: these villagers are going to sacrifice us?

We slowly pulled our necks back. Then he sat down on the ground against the wall.

In the dark, I heard Xue Qian whispering, "Are these villagers sick?" ”

I said, "They don't take human lives for granted. ”

Mr. Lu said, "Are we being calculated by that ghost? They deliberately tricked us into coming here and then had the villagers throw us into the river. ”

I said, "It stands to reason that these villagers are numerous, but if we want to escape, they should not be able to stop them." What's more, there are a few helpers around us who haven't shown up all the time, so they won't lose their lives here. ”

Mr. Lu nodded and said, "This river god named the three of us to sacrifice, I don't know what it means." Is it our enemy? How did I not know that I had sinned against the river god? If it was that powerful ghost pretending to be a river god, it would be a bit unreasonable, didn't he want Danfang? ”

We were discussing in a whisper, when we suddenly heard the aunt crying heartbreakingly. Then I heard the voice of the hemp rope: "Lift the girl up." I put it in lightly. ”

I stood up and looked over there. I noticed that the girl was covered in a white cloth. It's like a mummy. Only one head is exposed, and the black hair and white cloth are very eye-catching.

A woman was carrying her as she walked toward the river.

Now the girl looks sad and beautiful. When people look at it, they can't help but feel pity.

Mr. Lu sighed: "We can't die without help. ”

Then, he shouted, "Stop." He jumped over the wall and jumped in front of them.

The women were startled, let go, and dropped the girl to the ground.

The girl's mother ran over and hurriedly helped her untie the strips of white cloth. And Mr. Lu stared at the hemp rope with straight eyes: "That's how you entertain guests?" Take guests to worship the river god? I've heard what you just said. ”

The hemp rope did not change his face, and said: "Didn't you travel thousands of miles to our village just to sacrifice your body?" What's the dissatisfaction with this? ”
