195. Burn Fuwa for sacrifice
Yuan Lianyi immediately pulled Su Saburo's clothes angrily, and kept shaking and crying: "Look at what kind of foolish thing you are doing, how can you let Ying Bao leave us at such a young age?" Let her go and ask the old Taoist priest for rain? ”
She actually knew in her heart that Su Saburo was no wonder about this at all.
If they don't send Ying Bao out, these officers and soldiers will also forcibly snatch Ying Bao out of their hands.
Su Saburo agreed to let Ying Bao go to ask for rain, and also saved Ying Bao from suffering from flesh and skin.
But she is just uncomfortable in her heart now, and she just wants to find a reason to vent her fear and worry in her heart.
Su Saburo hurriedly hugged the excited Yuan Lianyi and comforted her: "Okay, okay, don't worry, Yingbao has that strange-eyed brother by her side, otherwise do you think I will rest assured that I will let her go up and face it alone?" ”
Hearing this, Yuan Lianyi calmed down a little, and looked at Ying Bao who was tied to the stake, and his heart was still high.
"Will the strange-eyed brother in Yingbao's mouth really not let her get hurt a little? Then why do you have to let Yingbao be tied up? When will he come to the rescue of Ying Bao? ”
"Don't worry, we are surrounded by Yingbao's blessings along the way, and we have the help of the divine power of the strange-eyed brother, don't you still believe in his ability?"
Su Saburo was actually apprehensive in his heart, although Ying Bao let the strange-eyed brother show a miracle in front of them, and also let them see the power of the strange-eyed brother, but after all, it was a person they couldn't see or touch, and they would always feel unsteady in their hearts.
Saying these words is not only to appease his own lady, but also to let his heart go down.
Under his persuasion, Yuan Lianyi didn't say anything, but his eyes were staring at Ying Bao on the stage, and he didn't dare to blink.
The rest of the Su family was also very worried, but when they heard that the different-eyed brother in Yingbao's mouth was by her side, they were a little relieved, but they didn't know how the different-eyed brother was going to rescue Yingbao, and this unknown thing would inevitably make people feel anxious and hesitant.
When the others saw that the Su family had gone from excitement to calmness in the back, they thought that they were frightened by the encirclement of the officials, and they couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
Pity their daughter, so innocent and cute, because everyone loves her, she really thinks she is a lucky baby, saying such big words, vainly trying to ask for rain for everyone, this brings trouble to herself, right?
This is not a blessed baby, it is a short-lived ghost!
It's a pity that such a beautiful and lovely little girl, if she grows up in the future, she will definitely become a stunning beauty, but it is a pity that she will be burned to death at the age of less than four years old.
The villagers of Xiazhai Village, because they were stopped by Yingbao, did not have a board on their bodies.
Now seeing that Yingbao was about to be burned alive, he immediately shed tears in annoyance, regretting that he testified for Yingbao at that time and confessed the fact that she was Fuwa.
Ying Bao is a three-year-old queen, she is open-mouthed, and she can say whatever she wants, but they have lived for decades, how can they still be so outspoken!
They all want to tear their mouths apart, if Ying Bao really dies today, they will not be able to forgive themselves for the rest of their lives.
The old Taoist priest spoke loudly on the stage, "This girl is really a blessing doll sent by God, if this blessing doll is sacrificed, God will be happy and rain heavily for us!"
This girl is willing to ask for rain from heaven for us people, and when she returns to heaven, she will ask for rain for us, and we should give her respect and worship! ”
As he spoke, he immediately asked people to prepare torches and set fire to the pyre on which Ying Bao was stepping.
Everyone's hearts were crumbling.
And Yingbao, who was worried by everyone, looked stupid on the surface, expressionless, but secretly laughed sarcastically in her heart.
She knew that this would be the result, and deliberately jumped into the trap they had laid out, just to wait for an opportunity to make their death even more ugly.
At this tense moment, the deputy county magistrate, who was sitting next to the county magistrate, suddenly said: "Slow! ”
Hearing this abrupt voice, everyone couldn't help but be startled, and they shifted their eyes from Ying Bao to the body of the deputy county commander.
I saw the deputy county magistrate get up from his seat, run to the county magistrate and kneel down, pleading with a face:
"My lord, if you are praying for rain for the people, why do you care about the life of this girl? When this girl didn't appear before, can't she also ask for rain?
Why did this queen have to take the girl's life after she appeared? Please also ask the county magistrate and Master Qiu to be merciful, this girl is childish and innocent, and she doesn't know the world, let's let this girl return to her parents! ”
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and snapped his head a few more times.
Many soft-hearted people felt that they couldn't bear to burn a living girl to death, but now when they saw someone speaking for Yingbao, they all knelt on the ground together, kowtowed and prayed: "Please also ask the county magistrate and Master Qiu's subordinates to show mercy and return the little girl to his parents." ”
The loudest shouting was the villagers in Xiazhai, and under their leadership, more people also participated in the ranks of intercession for Yingbao.
The people of the Su family are naturally among them.
All of a sudden, the sound of begging for mercy shook the sky, and the scene that had been quiet became lively at this moment.
"Presumptuous!" The prefectural magistrate suddenly slapped the table angrily and stood up from his seat.
But the voice of the crowd was so loud that his voice seemed like a mosquito.
The old Taoist priest saw that the scene was a little uncontrollable, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of the Buddha dust in his hand, he saw a brilliant rainbow appear in the air, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, the old Taoist Qiu had a trace of coldness in his eyes, and said lightly:
"When this woman did not appear, this time she could only have fifty percent certainty in asking for rain, but if she sacrificed this woman to the heavens, she would be eighty percent sure that she would be able to ask the heavens to rain down, so do you think it is necessary to burn this blessed woman and sacrifice it?"
The begging people suddenly stopped talking.
And those people who watched coldly and did not kneel and begged, pointed at those soft-hearted people and scolded:
"I see that you are all full, just a little girl, and not your daughter, what do you want to ask for her?
As long as it can rain heavily for us, let alone burn one girl, even if ten are burned, it will have to be burned! It is also worth sacrificing a girl of her and letting God rain down on us in Yuyao County! ”
When the Su family heard these people's words, they immediately shouted at them angrily: "What you said is light, it is not your daughter who will be burned to death!" Of course, you can say anything! ”
The people retorted: "If our daughter could also be chosen as a blessed woman, we would be willing to offer it, and whoever is as stingy as you and sacrifices only one daughter can save the whole city, but he is so unwilling to do so, it is really selfish!" No wonder the family was exiled and deserved it! ”
