Chapter 6 Asking for Boys and Girls

The catastrophe set off by Ao Rebellion, the banks of the Minjiang River have become an ocean, floating on the water thatch, branches, rooting trees, roof trusses, broken wood, wooden basins, broken furniture, and soaked dead dog bellies turned up terrible white, as well as soaked cows, cats and other dead bodies of animals......

Today, the reverse dragon laughed unscrupulously in the Minjiang River: "Ho! ho! ha! The sound was like the sky falling apart, and Yulei Mountain was shaken into landslides and mudslides, which washed away villages and homes, and was a miserable scene. ......

At this time, a frightened tornado suddenly blew on the surface of the river.

The reverse dragon rode the tornado and soared into the air, fangs and claws, and madness was rampant. It opened its bloody jaws, and it roared and screamed, tearing its liver out!

"Ho!ho!ha!ha!ha!ha!" The fierce laughter of the dragon once again shook the roots of the trees on Yulei Mountain, and the pines fell! The stones cracked! The boom and boom, the smoke and dust rolled, rushing down the mountain, and frightened jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, wild boars, monkeys, foxes, hares, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods ran for their lives: the sky fell down!

The pavilion chief and the villagers who survived on the roof of the Shangjiang Temple on the slope of the mountain were so frightened that they trembled and didn't dare to look at the cruel and terrifying reverse dragon, but they just whispered in their mouths: "Lord Dragon bless, Lord Dragon bless, Lord Dragon blessed......"

The reverse dragon rode the terrifying tornado, and the poor villagers were even more rampant, and let out another wild roar unscrupulously: "Ho! ho! ha! ha!" It shows its hideous fangs!

The boy and the girl hid on the broken roof of the hillside, protected by their parents. Still so frightened that he trembled all over, his eyes were closed, and he muttered with a stupid expression: "Lord Longwang bless." Lord Dragon bless, Lord Dragon bless......" teeth kept stumbling in the mouth.

In the tornado, the reverse dragon suddenly caught a glimpse of two immature boys and girls. It suddenly stopped the roar, and the dragon's eyes turned, and the voice was like a thunderbolt and ordered: "Wait, listen, this dragon king wants a pair of boys and girls, and he will order you to send them to the Jiang Temple within three days." Otherwise, ho!ho!haha......"

The reverse dragon laughed wildly, and once again shook Yulei Mountain. The smoky mist and dust of the cracked rocks poured into the river, splashing the waves. The shaking Yulei Mountain is reflected in the Minjiang River, and the Minjiang River seems to be shaking.

It's been so long, and I'm probably tired of the reverse dragon. After a while. The tornado is getting smaller. The reverse dragon rode the monstrous white waves wantonly, shook his head and tail, and slowly dived into the river

After the rain, the sky was clear, the wind and waves were calm, and the water level of the Minjiang River gradually subsided gradually......

The devastated fields were devastated by the floods: mud piles up, puddles and puddles, ruined houses, crumbling walls, fallen trees, dead bodies of people and animals, and washed out fields. The crops lay in the flooded fields, and a flock of crows crowed on the branches. Two or three stray hungry dogs barked on the side of the road.

The pavilion chief and the villagers slowly climbed down the tree, climbed off the roof, walked down the hillside, and kowtowed to the Minjiang River.

The boy and the girl followed their parents and prostrated themselves on the ground like adults, prostrating their heads in a proper and orderly manner.

The pavilion chief knelt down to Minjiang and pleaded extremely reverently: "The Dragon King is kind and compassionate, the Dragon King blesses, you will definitely follow the will of the Dragon King, and will definitely dedicate the boys and girls to the Jiang Temple." You pray that the dragon lord will bless you with peace and a good year. After speaking, he prayed to the river temple like pounding garlic.

The villagers knelt behind the pavilion chief's buttocks and prayed like garlic: "Lord Dragon bless, Lord Dragon bless, Lord Dragon Lord is kind and compassionate......"

At this time, a thin old man trembled and asked tentatively, "Pavilion Chief, what should I do with this boy and girl?"

The pavilion chief frowned: "I don't know what to do?" Pavilion Chief said anxiously.

The villagers whispered, and no one could come up with a solution.

An eldest lady said, "Pavilion chief, you have an idea, we listen to you." ”

Everyone whispered, "Yes, Pavilion Chief, we listen to you." ”

Having said so, no one can raise their energy, no one dares to meet the pavilion chief's gaze, and no one is afraid to listen to any decision made by the pavilion chief, because any decision will be a thunderbolt to a certain two families, a catastrophe, and a tragedy. "How do I have an idea?" The pavilion chief was desperate and sad, he spread his hands, looking so helpless and helpless.

"What then?" Hello everyone, anxious.

Pavilion Chang said anxiously: "Children are the treasure of their parents, the future and hope of their parents, and they are their lifeblood, and no one is reluctant, but the deadline is only three days, I have no way at all, there is really no way at all, I still listen to everyone." ”

The villagers muttered in a low voice again, their faces were nervous and frightened, their brows were furrowed, they shook their heads again and again, sighed continuously, and sighed deeply, there was still no way to solve the current doom.

The thin old man was very worried: "What do you say about this, we can only listen to the pavilion chief, and the pavilion chief's decision is only obeyed and irresistible." Do you agree?" Agreed, resolutely obeyed the decision of the pavilion chief. Most of the villagers agreed with the village elders.

The sturdy father of the virgin looked very depressed, and did not say anything, but stood there with a dull gaze, clasping his daughter's hand tightly, as if he were afraid that his daughter would be caught. The virgin's mother stood there motionless as if her feet had taken root, and she did not dare to move at all, as if the child might be snatched away if her feet moved

The villagers said in unison: "Yes, listen to the pavilion chief." ”

The pavilion chief was very worried, he was also at a loss, looking at the expectant eyes of the villagers, he stood for a long time, pondered for a long time, and finally gently squeezed out the two words from between his teeth: "Draw lots." ”

"How do you catch this lot?" Someone asked. "Yes, how do you catch this lot? Pavilion Chief, tell me about it?" A young farmer asked.

A middle-aged woman asked, "It's hard to catch this lot, Pavilion Chief." She shook her head. I feel the seriousness of the problem of casting lots. "yes, it's hard to catch. The thin old man said sadly, and let out a deep breath of tightness in his chest.

The pavilion chief was actually very difficult: "Really. I don't have any way, you say, is there a better way than to draw lots? Say it, and we'll all discuss it. ”

Villagers, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, no one can come up with a better way than to draw lots.

The thin old man said, "Pavilion Chief." We think it's better to draw lots, fair. ”

The pavilion chief's expression was solemn: "Drawing lots is also a reluctant method." ”

The thin old man said, "What should I do if I draw lots, it's better to be a little more detailed." "Ginger is still old and spicy.

The pavilion chief's facial expression was stiff like a clay wood carving: "First of all. I must solemnly state that we must abide by your agreement on the casting of lots. Let me ask you first, do you abide by the agreement to draw lots?"

The villagers said in unison: "We will abide by the agreement to draw lots and will never go back." ”

The pavilion chief breathed a sigh of relief. The facial expression was a little relaxed: "Just keep the agreement." Draw lots to catch whom. Whoever has to pay a heavy price for the safety of the villagers, we should also be obliged to give full selfless assistance to these two families, such as helping them to farm, harvest crops, raise pigs, chickens and ducks, and so on, and also assume the responsibility of supporting them in the future, right? We will serve them like their own children, so that they do not have any worries about whether they have children to prevent old age. ”

The young man named Erwazi generously stated: "Yes. No matter who casts the lot, we should care about them without hesitation. Take care of them and take responsibility for their old age. ”

"Yes, Erwazi said it well, we should support their old people. "The Possessors are many.

The virgin's father remained stunned and unresponsive. "Okay, now let's draw lots. The pavilion chief said. "I'm not here to cast lots. Suddenly there was an objection, this was the virgin's father

Someone was angry: "Why don't you be trustworthy?" "What do you mean by spitting out saliva and swallowing it back? You talk about drawing lots, and I haven't opened my mouth all the time!" The virgin's father was firm and pushed back, he was determined. "I haven't been open. The boy's mother said that her voice was not as loud as the virgin's father's voice. It can be seen that she mustered up a lot of courage to say this. Because she understands that once she catches the lot, she will throw her only biological daughter into Longtan, and I am afraid that no mother in the world will be able to do this.

It's a problem. The pavilion chief thinks that since there are objections, it will not be easy to carry out the matter of drawing lots: "Then do you two have any better way than drawing lots?" In fact, this question is more difficult than ascending to the sky, who can answer it? Everyone was speechless.

A peasant woman said something sour: "I don't want to pay, I just enjoy peace, how can there be such a good thing?"

The virgin's father said very simply: "I will not enjoy peace, I will not touch the light of others, I will flee." ”

Since they were so decisive, the peasant woman had nothing to say, so she had to look at the pavilion chief for help, and the meaning was very clear, pavilion chief, what should I do? After all, he is the backbone of everyone.

The pavilion chief avoided her gaze, because the pavilion chief was also a master of the six gods, and his heart was a mess.

"I don't catch lots or touch everyone's light, I take the child to beg for a mouth, leave this ghost place, and flee. This is the voice of the virgin's mother, and she is not very confident.

The matter of catching lots, the embankment broke ......., and the villagers talked a lot, not knowing what to do.

The thin old man asked the pavilion chief, "Pavilion chief, what should I do about this?" The pavilion chief shook his head lightly with a sad face, no one could come up with an idea of such a difficult matter.

The virgin's father said: "This matter is obvious, whoever catches the lot will send his child to Longtan to die, is there such a ruthless parent in the world? Anyway, I will not do such a thing! I should call Hanako, freeze to death on the road, that is our two masters deserve it, I am willing, and die blindly, because I have fought and made efforts." "This man has backbone and personality. "Should that parent send their child to death?" Someone asked rhetorically.

The virgin's father replied, "That's a matter for other people, and I don't care about it, but I do it for myself." “

The pavilion chief was afraid that the dragon king would turn his face, so he said: "Flee? To put it lightly, can you escape from the clutches of the dragon lord by dragging the child? Can you hide from the first day of junior high school, can you hide from the fifteenth? You don't want to think about it, the thousands of miles of Fangyuan in the Minjiang River valley are the world of the dragon king, where are you fleeing?"

This sentence carries a lot of weight, pulling the virgin's father and the virgin's mother from the fantasy sky back to the terrifying reality. (To be continued......)
