Chapter 358: River God
As soon as the two villagers left, Dian Wei immediately said to the others: "If the river god is fake, then this daughter of the river god must be a demon." ”
Su Wanqing said angrily: "What a daughter of the river god, blatantly cannibalizing people, why is no one in charge?" ”
Fengzhu: "If you want me, this demon is amphibious, it lurks in the depths of the Heisha River, and others can't help it, but it can occupy the Heisha River and cut off other people's waterways." ”
Yu Wending raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you want to provoke this demon?" ”
Dian Wei was still calm: "Whether the daughter of the river god is a demon or not, you will only know if you have seen it." ”
Yu Wending snorted and lamented: "If I continue to play like this, I will be killed by you sooner or later." ”
Not long after, the elderly villager turned back: "The old man invites you to come over." ”
Dian Wei took a deep breath: "Brother Lao leads the way." ”
The group walked through the bamboo forest.
In front of you, there is a row of stilted buildings built along the river, filled with smoke, and many men, women and children are moving, or cooking, or collecting clothes, or playing.
Dian Wei looked up, suddenly!
"Come after me, hehehehe......"
Coldly, two children rushed out from behind him, chasing and playing one after the other.
Dian Wei's face was solemn in an instant, and he turned his head and asked the three beauties: "Have you seen these two children coming out of which direction?" ”
Fengzhu: "From my left, I saw them running this way just now." ”
Su Wanqing: "I didn't notice it, it was quite sudden." ”
Liu Jinyu was silent for a while, then looked around and said, "Maybe you should ask, where are those two children running now." ”
Dian Wei's eyes swept and he couldn't help but gasp.
In such a big place, the two children ran away in the blink of an eye.
"This place is really evil."
Dian Wei took a deep breath, cheered up his spirit, and paid attention to every detail.
"Erxiong, it's time to eat." A woman pushed open the window and shouted downstairs.
Dian Wei looked up suddenly!
He saw the woman open the window, but he didn't hear the sound of the window opening, and there was no "squeak" sound.
"Mother, I'm here!"
Suddenly, a child appeared in the corridor and ran to the stilted building, very cheerful.
However, Dian Wei was very sure that there was no one in the corridor before, and the little boy appeared as if out of thin air.
"Let's let go, let's let ......"
It was quite sudden, and a white-haired old man walked near Dian Wei, with his back bent and on crutches.
"Ah, where did this old man come from, it scared me." Feng Zhu finally noticed the abnormality.
Su Wanqing frowned and said, "No, this old man was standing in front of us just now, and it was we who blocked his way." ”
Feng Zhu blinked: "Is that so?" Why didn't I see it, Dian Wei, did you see it? ”
Dian Wei shook his head and was silent.
Seeing this, Su Wanqing and Feng Zhu gasped, and their expressions became a little more solemn.
Liu Jinyu's eyes swept around, thoughtful.
"Here, let's go." The elderly villagers led the group up to a stilted building and went straight up.
There was a door at the end of the stairs, which was open.
There was a bonfire in the house, and a teapot hung from the fire, which was bubbling white smoke and was about to boil.
Behind the campfire, cross-legged sat an old woman with gray hair, dressed in a crown on her upper body and a robe made of animal skins, with deep wrinkles on her face, painted with some kind of blue paint, painted in strange patterns, like tattoos.
Dian Wei glanced at it, kept smiling, and stepped forward to salute: "The junior greets the daughter of the river god." ”
The white-haired old woman first looked at the six people of Dian Wei, all of whom were handsome men and beautiful women, showed a kind smile, and stretched out her hand and said, "Guests from afar, please sit down and talk." ”
They sat on the ground and around the campfire.
The white-haired old woman smiled and said, "Don't call me the daughter of the river god, my name is Ah Ling, you can call me Granny Ling." ”
Dian Wei is indispensable.
Granny Ling didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "Do you want to cross the Heisha River?" ”
Dian Wei: "Yes. ”
Granny Ling sighed: "There is a way to go, why do you want to cross the river?" ”
Dian Wei: "We have urgent things to do, and we can't go far." ”
Granny Ling: "Since you insist on crossing the river, then the sacrifice must be indispensable, and six people crossing the river must sacrifice at least five fingers, one eye or one ear. ”
Dian Wei: "Is it okay to pay?" ”
Granny Ling smiled dumbly: "Money things, do you think the river god will be rare?" ”
Dian Vellomo said: "May I ask my mother-in-law, how do you know what sacrifice the river god wants, have you ever seen the river god?" ”
Granny Ling: "The river god is not an ordinary man, you can see it if you want to, but I can hear it, and the river god will occasionally whisper in my ear. ”
Dian Wei raised his eyebrows: "So, my mother-in-law has never seen the river god?" ”
Granny Ling: "Is there any problem?" ”
Dian Wei: "Oh, the junior has no disrespect, but I'm curious, how did my mother-in-law determine that the one who whispered to you was the river god?" ”
Granny Ling: "It's very simple, as long as you complete the sacrifice, the river god will split the waterway and send you across the river safely." ”
Dian Wei: "A hundred tried? ”
Granny Ling: "No exceptions. ”
Dian Wei: "But it was you, mother-in-law, who ate the sacrifice?" ”
Granny Ling: "The river god told me that I was chosen to be the stand-in of 'Him' in the world, and that what I ate was equivalent to what 'Him' had eaten. ”
Symbiotic relationship?
Or is it a parasitic relationship?
Dian Wei thought about the relationship between the river god and Granny Ling, and suddenly thought of the roundworm demon.
Could it be that the river god is parasitic on Granny Ling's belly?
