Chapter 135: Sugar Gourd

Shen Bei got a few interesting little things, and his mood seemed to be a lot better, he put away all the other things, and only held a nine-ring fiddle in his hand, Xu was playing this for the first time, and his interest was very high.

Duan Feixue said that since Wen Ran had found the person he was looking for, he could only continue to hurry alone, and after saying goodbye to Wen Ran and Shen Bei, he continued to walk towards the house outside the village.

Wen Ran pulled Shen Bei to sit on the grass under a tree on the bank of the river, where the wind was blowing, and it was very cool.

She just bought a bunch of sugar gourds, first delivered them to his mouth, after he bit a sugar gourd, she ate a sugar gourd herself, the sweet and sour taste, she didn't like it very much, but he liked it very much.

Wen Ran held her chin with one hand, looking at the crystal clear river, she was thinking about business, "I don't know if the third senior brother is also here......

Shen Bei untied the nine links in his hand, he took the time to put the nine links back together, and when he heard Wen Ran's distressed voice, he looked at the girl leaning on his side, and said softly: "Ran, Luo Huai will be fine."

It's rare, he will comfort people.

Wen Ran raised her face and smiled at him, "Well, I'm sure he'll be okay too." ”

Seeing her smile, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised, it was quiet here, no one bothered them, so he lowered his head and kissed the corners of her lips.

When he was in the mountains, he gave Wen Ran a lot of fruit, and his stock was gone, so now he had to pay on credit.

Fortunately, she didn't mind and allowed him to take credit frequently.

Wen Ran told him what she had seen and heard, especially the matter of the water temple, she told him carefully, and then said suspiciously: "That water temple is like the temple we saw when we first came to Baishan Village, and this Baishan Village is also like the Baishan Village we saw, but there is a big difference between the two, and the villagers here mentioned the champion, I remember that the village chief said that the champion of their village was ...... eighty years ago."

"Ranran, shall we go back in time?"

Wen Ran shook her head, "There is such a thing as reversing time, but it is against the way of heaven, not to mention that no one in this world can be strong enough to shatter the void, and it is impossible for us to go back to the past." ”

Shen Bei put together the Nine Rings, he grabbed her hand holding the sugar gourd, lowered his head and took a bite, and said vaguely: "Then we have entered the illusion."

"That's what I thought." Wen Ran frowned, "But I haven't found a way to break this illusion yet." ”

Shen Bei was eating, and at the same time accompanied her to figure out a way.

Wen Ran remembered something, "Before, in Lilin, didn't you break Xiaobai's illusion?" ”

"Ranran, that's an enchantment, not an illusion."

Wen Ran sighed, "Also, I almost forgot." ”

Enchantments always have boundaries, but the junction between the real and the false in the illusion is vague, even if Wen Xun is asked, his sword may not be able to split the illusion.

"Ranran, don't sigh, let's figure it out together."

Wen Ran glanced at the young man who was still chewing sugar gourd, and felt that it was better to rely on himself as a foodie.

When the bright moon was high, it was as if it had been agreed, and the villagers in the house all walked out.

Men and women, young and old, walked to the river with a lantern in their hands, and each of them recited words in their mouths, and then put the lantern into the water.

Wen Ran and Shen Bei didn't seem to be able to attract their attention.

This kind of scene should obviously be lively, but everyone who puts the river lanterns looks too religious, but it looks weird.

Wen Ran saw the girl who bumped into her during the day, she put the uneaten string of sugar gourds into Shen Bei's hand, and then walked over, Shen Bei naturally followed her closely like a little daughter-in-law.

"Xiao Ni."

The girl who had just finished putting the river lantern looked up, and she called out, "Big sister."

"Is today a special day? Why did you all run out at this time to put the river lanterns? ”

Xiao Ni said: "Father and mother said that tomorrow at this time, the Cui family's sister will get married, and we must wish the Cui family's sister a smooth marriage in advance, so that the water god will bless us and make our village more than smooth every year."

It was the first time Wen Ran had heard of this custom, and she asked again: "The water god you are talking about, is it the water god enshrined in the water temple?"

Xiao Ni nodded, "Yes." ”

"You see the appearance of that water god, aren't you afraid?"

Xiao Ni whispered, "I'm scared...... Erya was also afraid, but we didn't dare to say it, and my father and mother said that we couldn't be disrespectful to the water god like this, otherwise the water god would not bless us. ”

Wen Ran also lowered her voice, "I don't tell others, you tell me secretly, has anyone in your village seen the water god apparition?" ”

Xiao Ni shook her head, "I don't know, but my father and mother, as well as my uncles and uncles, they all said that a long time ago, someone fell into the water, and that is, he fell into this river......"

Xiao Ni pointed to the river in front of him, and then said: "Everyone thought he wouldn't survive, but I didn't expect that a day later, he walked back from downstream, and he also caught pearls, others asked him what was going on, and he said that he seemed to see something in the water in a daze, and everyone said that it must be the water god who saved him."

"So the appearance of the water god enshrined in the water temple is based on the description of the person who fell into the water?"

Xiao Ni said, "I heard my father say so."

Wen Ran was thoughtful.

Shen Bei obediently gnawed on the sugar gourd next to him and did not speak.

Xiao Ni continued: "Grandpa said, in those years, the village was very poor, everyone wanted to make some money from the water, but there was no gain, and then a girl drowned in the water, and the pearls caught actually increased, and the people in our village survived the hard life, so everyone said that the water god appeared to help us,"

Wen Ran's eyelids jumped, "Drowned a girl, is it the manifestation of the water god?" ”

Xiao Ni explained, "The adults said that it was because the water god lacked a companion, so they brought the girl over as a companion, and gave us pearls in gratitude to our village. ”

"That girl from the Cui family is going to get married, could it be that she is marrying this water god?"

Xiao Ni nodded, "Yes, the harvest in our village has not been good in the past few years, the adults said that they would offer a bride to the god of water, and our village would be better. ”

Wen Ran's face darkened.
