"What are you doing?"

After the ship got closer, the doubts in the hearts of Ye Sang and the others became even heavier.

I saw that everyone in Zhaojia Village had changed into clean clothes, all dressed up cleanly, and they were discussing things around them.

Seeing that it was Ye Sang and them, the eyes of the people in Zhaojia Village lit up, and then they all urged them to change into clean clothes.

"Why do you want to change into clean clothes? Is it the New Year? ”

Zhao Sigu squeezed out a head from the figure of an adult and looked at everyone with a smile.

Generally, the Chinese New Year is almost in winter, and only people in the village will make an exception to wear clean clothes.

"It's still a while before the Chinese New Year!"

I don't know who replied to Zhao Sigu, and someone spoke out to explain to Ye Sang and the others.

It turned out that not long after the people in the village drove out by boat, they met another village that had fled from the famine-Lijiazhuang.

Unlike Zhaojia Village, Lijiazhuang already plans to settle here, so according to local customs, it is necessary to invite high-ranking people to worship.

Just to sacrifice to the river, you need two pigs' heads, one cow and sheep, four chickens and ducks, and two fish.

They were so loud that when they saw the people of Zhaojia Village passing by, they also warmly invited the people in the village to enjoy it together.

The people of Zhaojia Village originally did not plan to agree.

The people of Kelijiazhuang said that the masters they invited used to watch the sky at night and said that they were suitable to come to this place, and that this place would have countless good fortune and wealth to belong to them.

They didn't believe it at first, but the master was able to count their names and how many children they had in the family.

After coming, someone really picked up copper coins in the land, and there were chickens and ducks on the nearby mountains......

"We were afraid that they would have bad intentions, but the things they sent were also checked by Dr. Sun, and there was no problem at all."

"That's right. Not only our village, but also other villages passed by, and they also stayed behind to participate. ”

The people in the village looked at Ye Sang and the second room of the Zhao family with a smile.

Ancient people attached great importance to sacrifices and relied heavily on the belief in ghosts and gods. When encountering this kind of thing, you can take advantage of it, and you can still watch the excitement.

In addition, they all wanted to wait for Ye Sang, so they parked the boat not far away and waited for the sacrifice time.

I didn't think about it, on the morning of the sacrifice, I waited for Ye Sang first.

"It seems that this sacrifice is really interesting. Wouldn't it be good luck for us to stop here and wait for Ye San? ”

Some people in the village laughed and beckoned the people who came after them to change their clothes and go with them.

"Miss Ye, this road is the way we must go, it seems that this excitement can't be avoided." Murong Yanxi nodded at Ye Sang.

Qin He liked to join in the fun the most, and held Ye Sang and said, "Sangsang, then go and have a look." ”

Ye Sang doesn't like this kind of excitement in other people's homes, but after passing by, he can't avoid it, so he can only go with the flow.

"Let's go!"

She beckoned everyone to go, but instead of changing into new clothes, she sat at the bow of the boat, staring at Yan Qinglu and Yan Qinglu, who was covered with a sack.

In this day, Yan Qinglu had been reading the Yan family's books, and was trying to help Ye Sang find a way to get rid of the Gu poison.

Before that, they had to keep Yan Qinglu as a hostage.

He used a sack to cover Yan Qinglu's head, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would remember the way, and on the other hand, Ye Sang would be uncomfortable when he saw his face.

Why is she alive and well, what kind of bullshit Gu worm has been cast, disfigured, and she will die soon?

And this old man, knowing the way, still doesn't say it......

She doesn't have a way of respecting hostages.

Give Yan Qinglu one or two mouthfuls of water every day, plus a piece of cake, and strive not to let him starve to death.

It's okay, a stone was thrown towards Yan Qinglu's sack, and when he heard Yan Qinglu cry out in pain, he rolled his eyes impatiently.

"Sangsang, don't be unhappy. We travel through people, and we don't die so easily. ”

Qin He saw that Ye Sang was sullen, and pulled Ye Sang and coaxed: "And don't worry, no matter what happens to you, I will let you eat and drink well!" ”

"Then I'm going to eat sweet and sour fish!"

Ye Sang threw another stone into the river, and his eyes also looked towards the river.

The surface of the river flashed red, could it be that there are koi fish in the river?

But in an instant, Ye Sang realized that something was wrong.

It was a man, a living child in a red cotton jacket.

The child was already dead, floating on the surface of the lake, and fell into the river due to the approach of Ye Sang and the others' boats.

"Vomit ......"

Someone in Zhaojia Village also saw this scene and vomited in disgust.

Several of the children also saw this scene, and with a loud cry of "ah", they began to hug their heads and cry.

Uncle Feng pointed to the surface of the river and said in shock: "It's not just this one, there are ...... here."

"Ahh Little sister-in-law, this one is still alive. ”

With tears hanging from the corners of Zhao Sigu's eyes, he suddenly hugged Ye Sang's thighs and pointed to a little girl who was still struggling on the river.

The little girl was tied on all fours, and the only struggle was the shaking of her torso.

"Quick! Fish her up. ”

Ye Sang was just about to enter the water, but was stopped by Murong Yanxi. He nodded at Uncle Zhu on the side, and after a while, Uncle Zhu took the child on the boat.

Ye Sang hurriedly helped her do artificial respiration to clean up the foreign body in her nose.

The little girl coughed a few mouthfuls of water, and Bai Xuan's face became a little redder, and then she wailed.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to sacrifice to the river. ”

The girl cried again, and the crowd inquired carefully.

The girl said that she was from Lijiazhuang, and there were more than a dozen children in the same village who were sacrificed to the river god.

It is said that the master of the village said that if you want to live here, you must sacrifice to the river god with boys and girls.

"Why do you still use living people?"

The people of Zhaojia Village only heard the people of Lijiazhuang say that they would use animals to sacrifice to the river god, but they didn't expect to use living people.

"Sacrifice with a living person, it must be a false master!"

When Yan Qinglu heard this, he spoke indignantly.

I don't know where the charlatans came from, making money and killing here!

"Yan Qinglu, sacrifice to the river god, are you sure you don't need children?"

Ye Sang looked up at Yan Qinglu.

She just asked casually, but the rescued girl shouted "ah" again.

"Bad guys! Villain! ”

Villain?

The people in Zhaojia Village were stunned.

They saved this child, why does this child still call them bad people!

Only Ye Sang noticed that the person the girl was pointing at was Yan Qinglu.

This girl is the first time she has seen Yan Qinglu, why do you say that Yan Qinglu is a bad person?

"Tell my sister, what's the name of the bad guy?"

Ye Sang put a blanket over the little girl, pointed at Yan Qinglu and asked, "Is it him?" Or is it Yan Qinglu? ”

"Yan Qinglu is a bad person! It's the bad guys! ”

The girl said, and cried again: "It was Yan Qinglu who caused us to sacrifice to the river god!" ”

"Me?"

Yan Qinglu pointed at himself, and he was in a hurry for a while.

What did he do? Why did you become a bad guy for no reason?

Ye Sang recalled the sinkhole he had met in Zhoujia Village before.

The same is a ghost and god sacrifice, and the same initiator is Yan Qinglu.

Where in the world are there so many coincidences?
