Chapter 23: The Old Story of the Holy Maiden

"Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden of Lishui Town?" Hushan-kun suddenly realized that there must be a secret hidden in it.

"Oh! The beauty is going to cry again! I am most afraid of women crying, especially beautiful women! The boy suddenly screamed, jumped to the ground, and walked outside.

"Dead ghost, where are you going?" asked the woman in red, her face crimson.

"Go out and catch some fish and fight tooth sacrifices!"

"I don't see you tired of eating fish every day!" the woman in red gave him a blank look.

The boy didn't look back and waved his hand: "Have you ever seen a cat that doesn't eat fish? I see that you have been with the stupid monster for a long time, and you have become a fool!"

"Hehe~Die~" The woman in red scolded with a smile, watching the boy's back disappear around the corner, and then she turned around, the smile on her face had disappeared, and she looked at Hushanjun with raised eyebrows.

"You must be very strange, since I am the holy daughter of Lishui Town, why am I here, and why do you want to kill the people of Lishui Town. ”

Hushanjun was silent and nodded.

"Then why don't you ask?"

"Aren't you about to say that? I'll just listen!"

"Huh~" The woman in red covered her mouth and chuckled, waved her feet, raised her eyes to look at Hu Shanjun and said, "Do you know? ”

"Thank you, if you don't do evil killing, it should be beautiful!"

"Am I not beautiful now?" said with a swing of his feet, the bottom of his skirt was full of spring, and he lightly hid his face and looked like water.

"Beauty...... It's just that people don't dare to approach!" Hushanjun was full of the spring light that had just appeared in his mind, and his heart was restless.

"Hehe~ little pervert, what don't you dare to approach, are you afraid that your sister won't be able to eat you?" The woman chuckled and gasped, the charm was boundless, Hushanjun swallowed his saliva, simply closed his eyes, and silently recited the heart mantra in his heart.

"Hmph~boring~" The woman in red saw that Hu Shanjun closed her eyes, hummed lightly, sat up straight and didn't continue to laugh.

"Did you know that Lishui Town holds a river sacrifice ceremony every year?" At this time, the woman in red put away her charming face and asked lightly.

"Naturally, everything that happened here started with the river festival?"

"Then do you know that the annual river festival is a small sacrifice, and the real river festival is a ten-year sacrifice!"

"This ...... I don't know!" "As soon as Hushanjun came to Lishui Town, he was pulled by Wang Jiuchen to catch the demon, so he naturally didn't know about it.

"Then do you know what the decennial festival uses to worship the river god?"

Hushanjun's heart jumped violently, he seemed to have an answer, and suddenly opened his eyes and saw a poignant face, with anger, resentment, sorrow, fear and helplessness!

The woman in red smiled miserably: "That's right! The one used to sacrifice to the river is a so-called saint like me!"

The corners of Hu Shanjun's eyes moved slightly, but his heart was mixed, he lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at the eyes of the woman in red again.

"The 10-year festival of sacrificing the river has another name, which is called marrying the river god! On that day they will dress up the saint as a bride and throw it into the river with the same animals! They will tie a boulder to the saint's feet! so that she will not be able to escape!" said the woman in red stood up violently, spread her arms, circled the edge of the pool of blood, and then smiled miserably.

"Look, this is my wedding dress, my red makeup, is it beautiful?"

What a long dark night it is for a flower that blooms in the red blood sun!

"So you're going to kill them all?" asked Hushan-kun with some dejection.

The woman in red, whose eyes were bent into crescent moons, did not answer the question, but continued: "That year, when I was eight years old, my parents died in the flood, and my uncle took me to Lishui Town and sold me for five taels of silver. But I don't hate him, at least he's a human being!"

The woman in red took a deep breath and continued: "Since then, I have become the holy daughter of Lishui Town, and I can only stay in their ancestral ancestral hall every day, at that time, the outside world was very close to me, and there was only a wooden door. But it was far away from me, and the door was so hard that I couldn't open it at all. ”

"Whew! Actually, it was pretty good at that time, except that I couldn't go out, and someone would bring me food and clothing, so I didn't have to worry about food and clothing! And I sat behind the door every day, leaning against the wooden door, listening to the sounds outside. ”

Saying that, the woman in red slowly closed her eyes, her fists were already clenched unconsciously, "But this peaceful life didn't last long, that year, it was one night, I remember very clearly that it was raining heavily outside, and a person walked into the ancestral hall......" At this time, the woman in red's body trembled slightly, and her fists were white.

"Then he left, leaving only one sentence, don't say it or I'll kill you!I don't even know what he looks like or what his name is!" A trace of tears crossed the corner of the woman in red's eyes as she said this, and then she let out a sigh of relief, and her tense body softened.

Slowly opened her eyes, still so charming, her mood had stabilized, she reached out and rubbed her temples, and sat down again, a pair of jade feet swinging disorderly.

"Since then......" The woman in red was very relaxed when she said these words, as if these terrible things had nothing to do with her.

But Hushanjun knows how painful her heart is, it's not that she doesn't hate, it's just that she hides it well!

"But not everyone is like this, that year, after a while, a person came in, he brought a bowl of rice, and then sat down at the table, and then he didn't even look at me, and began to eat, it was the first time I had seen such a strange person, who came to me just to eat a bowl of rice?

"If it were you, would you be like him?" asked the woman in red as she looked at Hu Shanjun and smiled.

Hushan-kun took a deep breath and shook his head.

The woman in red smiled, but the smile was extremely charming: "It seems that you are quite normal, only abnormal people will do abnormal things!"

"I ...... I won't go in......" Hushan-kun shook his head and said with a little bitterness.

The woman in red stopped laughing, she looked at Hushanjun carefully, and then said, "Xiao Hei is right! You are really a fool!"
