Atypical Redemption [Fast Wear] v. 143
Lin Weaving denied that these corroded marks were not consistent, and if it was a dragged fishtail, it would have a consistent depression because of the scales.
Zhang Yunzhao nodded: "What you said makes sense, we will go around the village separately for a while, looking for clues." ”
He felt a gaze, and when he looked up, he found that it was Xie Qing looking at him, smiling at him very friendly.
Zhang Yunzhao was a little confused, but he also replied with a slightly shy smile.
Xie Qing thought to himself that it was really bad, this kid looked purer than him.
"I will go to Liu Yue and Tong Tong to meet first, and then delineate the scope of exploration separately to avoid large-scale overlap."
Xie Qing made a supplementary proposal, and everyone nodded, no opinion.
At this time, the door of the main house was pushed open, and Uncle Guo, who was wearing a shabby leather jacket, walked out of it and said in surprise: "You guys got up quite early." ”
Xie Qing: "Uncle Guo, can you tell us where Sister Liu lives, we plan to go to our friend first." ”
"I'm just going to Sister Liu's, you can come with me, but remember not to talk to the girl in our village, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Uncle Guo grabbed his withered grass hair and asked everyone to follow.
"Is there a mermaid in this sea, so wide?"
Lin Zhi stopped Uncle Guo and made a gesture with the traces on the ground.
Uncle Guo laughed: "You young people outside still believe this, there are all kinds of fish in this sea, but there are no mermaids, isn't this a story from the foreigners' side, and it doesn't match our side." ”
Zhang San asked tentatively: "Can't you see this trace on the ground?" ”
Uncle Guo glanced at the ground and said inexplicably: "What traces are there on the ground, the dust has been washed away by the heavy rain." ”
Lin Zhi thought that sure enough, from the time he came out, Uncle Guo's eyes did not stay on the ground.
He didn't pretend, he really couldn't see.
Xie Qing smiled and played a round: "He's joking, let's go to Sister Liu's place." ”
Uncle Guo didn't bother about it, closed the door and led the people out.
Unlike last night's dead silence, there were people standing on the road at this moment, and everyone was walking outside.
On the road in the village, there are blue and black marks, and it seems that you can glimpse the scene of monsters crawling again and again at night, but all the fishermen are unaware, stepping on the corroded ground and walking forward.
Lin Zhi noticed that all the men who came out of the house were men, old and young.
Zhang San couldn't help but ask, "Why is everyone moving forward?" ”
Uncle Guo's tone was ancient: "Today is a day to send joy to Hai Niangniang, everyone has to go, but men can't get too close." ”
Lin Weaving: "She hates men? ”
From the rule that men and women are not allowed to mix in the village, it can be seen that the monster opposes the relationship between men and women, and now it shows that men can't get too close, which shows the monster's dislike for men.
Uncle Guo had an almost strange look on his face and said, "Maybe." ”
Two sharp whistles made everyone pick up the pace.
Lin Zhi and the others also quickened their pace and walked to the front of the wide ancestral hall.
There were many women standing there, led by Sister Liu in a crimson gown.
Liu Yue led Tong Tong to stand at the end of the line and waved his hand at Lin Weaving.
There are still many women who behave like Liu Yue, some of them are girls and some are elderly women, all of them are quietly turning back and greeting men.
It's just that their movements are more nervous and subtle, for fear of being discovered.
In front of the crowd, stood a woman with a braided braided red head flower and a numb expression.
"Mom!"
A boy, about eight or nine years old, rushed out of the crowd like a cannonball, ran next to the woman, and hugged her thigh.
"Stone, why are you here, go back quickly, go to your brother's!"
The woman's expression was a little loose, and then she hurriedly spoke.
She said this, but her hand was reluctant to push the child away.
"Don't let my mom go! Don't let my mom go! My mother is married, how can I marry Hai Niangniang! I want my mom! I want my mom! ”
The little boy wailed and clung to the woman's clothes.
Someone in the crowd sobbed quietly and complained.
The stone was still pulled apart, his strength was always no match for adults, no matter how heartbreaking he cried, he was still carried away by Sister Liu with a straight face.
The woman secretly wiped her tears and looked at her son reluctantly.
The stone's mouth was covered, and the crying disappeared.
"Sister Jia'er, this is Hai Niangniang's wishes, I hope you can satisfy her, go ahead."
Sister Liu pushed the person, and the woman took one last look at her son, stepping on the sand and walking towards the sea.
She got into a boat by the sea, was pushed, and left the sea.
The whistle sounded three times, and the women standing in front of them all knelt down and chanted in a low voice.
Lin Zhi looked to the side, and the men also knelt down, even the stone that had just cried incessantly, they all knelt down hatefully.
Several standing players stand out, furious at the sound of prayer.
When the chanting stopped, the kneeling people bowed their heads in the direction of the sea.
Their gesture is extremely reverent, the waves on the seashore are repeated, and the figure of the boat quickly disappears without a trace.
Chapter 132: The Ghost Wife of Infinite Players
Living sacrifice.
This is the most common and unforgivable existence of all superstitious and ignorant worship rituals.
The sound of the waves echoed in his ears, and Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and watched the people who knelt down to get up.
It's a unified action that doesn't need words to achieve, an absurd belief that glorifies cruelty into a natural devotion.
Lin Zhi looked at the ancestral hall, which was large enough to accommodate the entire population of the small fishing village to worship in it compared to the other houses in the village.
The white statue of the god on the high platform can only be glimpsed through the gaps, and the woman sits cross-legged, surrounded by waves and schools of fish.
The floor of the ancestral hall is covered with blue and black marks, so dense that people think that the ground is this color.
There was no joy in this ceremony, Sister Liu, who was wearing a crimson gown with her hair in a bun, got up and walked to the ancestral hall, and the women followed her footsteps and walked into the hall together.
Liu Yue, who was standing at the back of the team, was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he wanted to follow in.
Soon the situation told her the answer, and the door was closed when the woman who walked in front of her stepped through the threshold.
Obviously, she was turned away, and Liu Yue was also very happy, leading Tong Tong to Lin Zhi and them.
Zhang San muttered in a low voice: "It seems that this Hai Niangniang really hates men, and she won't even let them enter the ancestral hall." ”
"Let's find a place to sit first, go to where you live, I have inquired about something."
Liu Yue was a little impatient, not just to share information, but mainly because the eyes of these men on the street looked at her, which made her very uncomfortable.
In the sight of a group of strange people who couldn't tell what kind of intentions they were, mixed with a few obscene disgusting gazes, Liu Yue couldn't find who it was when he looked over.
Xie Qing: "Go to Uncle Guo's house." ”
Uncle Guo took down a cigarette from his ear, and didn't say anything when he saw the girl walking back with them, after all, it was daytime, and he didn't commit any taboos.
"Don't you go to sea?"
The cold question made Uncle Guo's fingers pause slightly, his fingers rubbed the filter, looked at the outstanding young man next to him, and sighed.
"We can't get out, the waves in the sea are so big that they scare the fish away, and we haven't had a harvest for several days."
Lin Weaving: "So you want to make sacrifices to dispel the anger of the gods and let you continue to work?" ”
Lin Weaving's tone was calm, and his words were extraordinarily tactful.
"Yes."
Uncle Guo nodded, because the young man's dark eyes seemed to have insight into everything, which he couldn't deny.
"What did you do to make her angry? Since she hates men, then it must be that the man has done something to make her dissatisfied, what have you done? ”
There is almost no space in the middle of Lin Zhi's words, and the most important point is directly pointed out.
As a former dungeon boss, Lin Weaving knew that some NPCs had the ability to think, and they would even be more sober than the core boss.
Uncle Guo was a little distracted by the question, he lit the cigarette in his hand that was a little deformed by him, took a deep breath, and almost sighed and said the answer.
"Nothing, nothing."
He repeated the phrase twice, and walked forward with a little bit of a back.
Xie Qing screamed, and he didn't look back.
Zhang San also wanted to ask others, but to no avail.
When they returned to Uncle Guo's residence, everyone found that he had not returned.
The door was closed, and Liu Yue looked at the traces on the ground and looked at his teammates.
"You didn't have an accident last night, did you?"
Xie Qing replied briskly, "It's okay." ”
Last night was a very pleasant night.
Xie Qing: "Did you see those traces too?" Ancestral halls too? ”
Liu Yue nodded: "When I was waiting at the door, I saw that the ground inside the ancestral hall was blue-black, including many such marks on the road, but those villagers couldn't see it." ”
Tong Tong: "In that big ancestral hall, the back of the statue is also this color. ”
Everyone's eyes looked at Tong Tong, and Zhang San asked, "You ran in?" ”
Liu Yue shook his head: "Impossible, I have been holding her all the time, and they don't let us enter the ancestral hall." ”
