The Taoist priest first cast a spell to stabilize the surging river for the time being, but the people in the village did not agree to sacrifice living people, who was willing to let their children sacrifice to this unknown river god? Everyone rejected the Taoist priest's method, and the Taoist priest saw that the advice was ineffective, so he smiled and left helplessly. Who knows, as soon as this Taoist priest left, there was a lot of wind and rain at night, and the river was surging.

The flood flooded several homes near the river at once, and the whole village was so frightened by the night's thunder that they couldn't sleep at night. On the second day, the village chief found the Taoist priest again.

"I knew you still had to look for me, so I didn't go far, and I rested overnight in the ruined temple outside the village. Last night the river god was furious, and you all saw it! How can the anger of this god be calmed down by mortals like me! Only by fulfilling the will of the river god can you live! Otherwise, the lives of your whole village will have to be taken into it! Sacrifice one person, or the whole village to be buried together, you can choose for yourself!"

After hearing the words of this priest, the village chief summoned the whole village and explained to the whole village that unmarried girls over 14 and 22 years old should go to the river to worship the river. But if this method is really used, whose girl will be sent to sacrifice to the river, and who will want to send his own child to die?

None of the villagers spoke, but those who had girls in their families who were eligible for the conditions looked flustered and distressed, while those who did not have girls or were not in the conditions looked relaxed and happy. All of a sudden, there were two differences between the whole village. "Why should our children sacrifice to that river god? Who can guarantee that this will really work?

This is said by someone who has an eligible girl in the family.

"Isn't this to save the whole village? The Taoist priest is a master of the Tao and has seen a lot of things, so what he said must be right! Why? Do you want the whole village to die with you for the sake of your children?"

This is said by a woman who has no daughters in the family.

"What are you talking about? You don't have a daughter at home to dare to fart here! If you let your daughter go, what else can you say? It's none of your business! You're not a fucking human!"

This is also said by people who have eligible girls in their families.

"That's not right, my family doesn't have it, but if my family has it, I will definitely sacrifice my daughter for the whole village!"

This is said by a woman who has no daughters in the family.

"Where did you come from, what if! You don't have to fucking fart here! Pretend to be fucking high!"

This is scolded by a qualified girl in the family.

"That's not right, my child is young, if my child is old enough, I will definitely sacrifice my daughter for the whole village!"

This is said by someone who has a daughter in the family but is not the right age.

“......”

Everyone quarreled like this. One is that the face is red and the voice is hoarse, and the other is the frivolous tone, the corners of the mouth are unconsciously raised, and the face is full of irrelevance to oneself.

"Enough!

The village chief's loud shout really quieted down the villagers who were about to fight.

"No one will be reluctant to do this, but hundreds of lives in the whole village! The overall situation is important! Everyone writes the names of the girls who meet the conditions on the bamboo sticks and puts them in the bamboo basket to draw, and whoever draws is whoever is who, and no one should blame anyone at that time, because this is the will of heaven and fate!"

Everyone was silent again, but no one left first. The village chief was helpless, after all, there was no one else in the village who had read books but him. The village chief had no choice but to personally order the eligible girls in each family, write them down one by one, and put them in the bamboo basket. Suddenly there was a cry and shouting, and the scene was very chaotic for a while. The village chief finally ordered all the eligible girls in the village. When he was about to draw lots, the Taoist priest, who had not said a word, spoke.

"Are all the girls in the village here?"

The village chief's hand holding the basket was visibly tight.

"What about Hao Mengxi? Why don't you write about Hao Mengxi from your family! Ah! The people who sacrificed our children to save the whole village are so noble, why don't you write your own children!"

This was said by the person who wrote the girl's name. Immediately there was a lot of criticism, and the whole village began to condemn the village chief.

"Dream Creek...... Mengxi is the child I picked up! she's not from our village!"

Hao Mengxi is a child picked up by the village chief, the village chief's surname is Hao, because it is a child picked up by the stream, so her name is Hao Mengxi, and the village chief has always treated her as his own. However, the village chief's explanation was so weak, his words were like throwing a stone at the mountain, how could the stone shake the mountain?

Did she grow up eating rice from the village, drinking water from the village, and wearing the clothes of the village? The village chief, you have raised her for more than ten years, and now you say that she is not from this village? Is there any reason for this?"

"What's the matter? Our girl can write it, but your girl can't write it?"

"I see, since she is from another village, and she happens to use her to sacrifice to the river, it should be time for her to repay her kindness!

"That's right! I think it's okay! Just let her come and sacrifice to the river!"

"Good!

Such an unreasonable and shameful demand was actually met at this time! Moreover, the people who wrote their names began to abuse and ridicule the village chief, and even wanted to beat the village chief with their own hands!

"I don't think I should let Mengxi sacrifice to the river god, she is not from our village after all. ”

"That's right! It's not from our village, and the river god will definitely not agree!"

It was the young lads of the village who said this.

"Nonsense! Then why do you want us to sacrifice to the river god? You must have said that because Hao Mengxi's girl was beautiful!"

"That's right! You stinky men, obsessed with lust, let that cheap girl lose her soul!

"In my opinion, Hao Mengxi's girl looks beautiful, the river god must like it, so it's best to let her go to the river!"

"That's right, let that little slut die!"

This group of girls who are commensurate with Hao Mengxi's sisters on weekdays, at the time of life and death, coupled with jealousy and hatred, actually said such inhumane and vicious words!

"Shut up!"

A coquettish shout actually made the chaotic scene quiet for a moment, and Hao Mengxi, dressed in plain clothes and like a fairy, slowly walked from afar, attracting everyone's attention, even the Taoist priest was stupid! Those men had unbearable expressions on their faces, and those women had jealous looks on their faces, but no one spoke anymore.

Hao Mengxi walked all the way to the village chief, took the pen in the village chief's hand, wrote his name on a bamboo stick, and put it in the bamboo basket. Beautiful and sharp eyes swept over everyone, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.

"You're right, my father has raised me for eighteen years, and I'm from this village! However, you have no reason for me to die! The person who raised me is my father! I should repay the favor, if he says let me sacrifice the river to repay the favor, I will never say anything, but you are not qualified!"

The whole village was speechless when Hao Mengxi said.

The village chief looked at Hao Mengxi excitedly, and tears of emotion almost flowed down, so he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve and blinked vigorously, so that the tears did not flow out. In fact, the village chief found something to take Hao Mengxi away early in the morning, the purpose was to let her escape this catastrophe. Hao Mengxi turned around and smiled at the village chief, and this smile was released!

The village chief steadfastened, took a step forward, and said loudly to everyone:

"The bamboo sticks are all in place, and there are no objections. The person who draws the lot will let the real person take the position. It's up to heaven!"
