Chapter 182: A Sacrifice
Luoxia Town is a small town on the canal of the Gufeng Dynasty.
The people of the town have relied on this waterway for generations.
But if it rains heavily today, the floods will be rampant.
All at once the livelihood of the people was cut off.
You must know that the price of grain in the Gufeng Dynasty has skyrocketed in recent days.
The lives of the people here are not just dependent on the merchants of the past.
Fishing is also very important for the people here.
But at first, the people of the town did not panic.
During the rainy season, there is always a period of inconvenience.
But in the face of endless, as if there is no end to the heavy rain.
The people along the river finally panicked.
The river poured into the river and spread to the town where the people lived.
...
Soon on a boulder near the river.
A beautiful woman with her hands and feet tied to a large stone lay motionless on the ground.
Next to her is an old man dressed in oil paint, a wizard of the town.
This sacrifice to the "river god" was his idea.
As a figure in folklore, the people were in awe of him.
"Nizi, when you see the river god, you must have served him well, so that he will not be angry. ”
In the crowd not far away, a middle-aged woman muttered in fear.
This person is the mother of this woman.
The pretty woman had a look of despair on her face.
I saw her big beautiful eyes, looked around, and then closed them in pain.
The people around them have numbness, fear, and greed in their eyes, but they have no sympathy.
It seems to be looking forward to her death.
It rained heavily and the river flooded, what did it have to do with her?
Isn't it a sin to be a good-looking woman?
...
"Throw!"
With a strong feeling of weightlessness, the woman's tears couldn't stop falling.
Tears mixed with rain, I don't know where they are going.
"In the next life, you will be a pig, a dog, and not a woman!"
Just as everyone was cheering, a figure suddenly flashed.
The woman was surprised to find herself back on the boulder and the ropes were untied from her body.
You can move your body freely.
A figure dressed in a cloak appeared in front of her.
Hidden under the hat, you can't see your appearance clearly.
The cheers of the crowd came to an abrupt end.
There was a look of fear in their eyes.
"Who are you to dare to touch the sacrifice of the river god? ”
The wizard suddenly shouted loudly, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"Yes, yes, if you do this, you will offend the river god!"
"Throw the sacrifice down!!"
"You sinner, sinner..."
The people not far away, like hornets that have exploded their nests, all have frightened expressions on their faces.
kept shouting accusations at the people in front of him.
Beautiful woman, tears once again couldn't stop falling.
In the crowd, her father was one of the loudest screamers.
At this moment, she was discouraged.
Nothing could be more cruel than what is happening right now.
However, when she saw the man in the cloth in front of her, who was "pointed out by a thousand husbands", he did not retreat at all, and blocked in front of him like a mountain.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in my heart.
Beauty's parents have abandoned her, but a stranger resists all the pressure for her.
Just when the people on the shore were blaming vigorously.
The man in the coat looked up.
A delicate face is revealed.
Looking at the age, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
In the face of accusations.
The boy didn't seem to notice.
I saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and there was a mocking look on his face.
"Heh, I've heard that the river gods here don't like women."
The boy said as he grabbed the wizard.
The people on the shore instantly went berserk.
"Drop the oracle, do you know what you're doing?"
"Ignorant child, stop quickly, so that you will completely offend the gods!"
"To sin against the messenger of the gods is to sin against the god of the river, you sinner..."
...
The young man's hands were very steady, and he turned a deaf ear to the "voice of the people" of the people.
The boy has a lot of strength.
No matter how hard the wizard tried, he couldn't get rid of it.
Poof.
Amid the manic voices of the crowd, the wizard fell into the water.
The surging river was surging with undercurrents, and the wizard only showed his head once, and then sank directly.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
The people who beg for a living by the river are particularly superstitious and believe in ancient legends.
Legend has it that in this ancient river, there is an immortal river god.
The "river god" controls the lifeblood of the river.
"It seems that this river god is more satisfied with this sacrifice. ”
The cold voice of the young man in the cloth came, and his tone fluctuated slightly, as if he was a little proud.
This person is Ji Wusheng, who is on the road day and night.
After bidding farewell to the small village, he finally came to the entrance of the river.
Prepare to take the waterway.
But I didn't expect to see such an absurd scene in front of me.
"Everywhere, ignorance always exists. ”
Ji Wusheng muttered to himself.
The woman in front of her had fair skin and a delicate face.
The rain-soaked clothes stained his body, and the S-shaped curve was completely displayed in front of Ji Wusheng's eyes.
His eyes couldn't help but dodge a little.
My look of pity made this woman even more charming.
Ji Wusheng could already smell the body fragrance on the woman's body, a smell that only a virgin could emit.
When Ji Wusheng leaned his arm on the beauty.
I felt the other party's body tremble slightly, and it seemed that he was a little afraid.
"It seems to be a misunderstanding. ”
Ji Wusheng touched his nose in embarrassment.
Is it so obvious to you?
Ji Wusheng just wanted to take this beauty away.
The people of this place have gone crazy and are no longer suitable for her to live in, and if she continues to stay here, the ending must be the same.
"Girl, don't be afraid..."
Thundered~
A roar sounded, interrupting Ji Wusheng's words.
And the beauty looked behind Ji Wusheng in horror.
Ji Wusheng turned around in slight surprise.
But I found it in the wide river channel.
A series of huge bubbles bubbled up.
And as time passed, the river boiled like boiling water.
It was as if there was a huge monster churning down there.
"It's the river god!"
I don't know who shouted.
The faces of the crowd changed.
Then he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Lord River God, don't be angry, I'm waiting to know that I'm wrong, I'm waiting to know I'm wrong..."
"We will definitely make up the sacrifices in time, no, plus ten sacrifices, please the river god must not be angry. ”
...
There was also a look of disbelief in the woman's eyes.
I thought it was just a charlatan who couldn't be trusted, but I didn't expect that there was really a "river god" in this river.
Then her face turned pale.
"It's all my fault!"
Before the woman knew it, she had walked to the edge of the boulder.
Just take one more step and you'll fall into the river.
Ji Wusheng pulled it and just came back.
"What are you doing?"
Ji Wusheng said a little angrily.
finally rescued a person, but she even wanted to commit suicide.
