Chapter 582: The River God’s Bride x “Top Scholar” River God (1)
Huaizhou, a once prosperous and bustling city, has now been shrouded in months of heavy rain.
The streets turned into rivers, and the once vibrant farmland was submerged into a vast ocean.
People watched helplessly as their homes, property and even loved ones were swallowed up by the merciless flood.
The poultry struggled in the flood but were eventually swept away by the torrent; the houses were shaking in the flood but finally collapsed under the weight; and the crops that were about to mature had long disappeared without a trace in the flood, leaving only a mess.
Young and old, men and women fled their homes and climbed to the top of the mountain in grief and despair. Looking at the devastated land, tears welled up in their eyes like a dam breaking.
They lost everything—homes, fields, food…and hope.
"What should we do?" someone asked, choking with sobs.
"How are we supposed to survive?" Another person shook his head in pain.
At this moment, everyone felt helpless and frustrated.
This sudden disaster caught them off guard and their lives fell into unprecedented difficulties.
"It must be because we didn't make offerings to the river god this year, so the river god got angry and sent down such heavy rains, flooding our houses and crops."
A white-haired old man stood up and said with deep sorrow.
Everyone was shocked when they heard what he said, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that he was right.
"Uncle, we have angered the Lord River God. What should we do now?"
Someone asked hurriedly.
They don't want to die!
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Now, we can only choose a woman born in a yin year, yin calendar, yang day and yin hour, and send her to Lord River God as a bride to see if we can appease Lord River God's anger."
His voice was heavy and serious, giving people an irresistible sense of pressure.
Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
They knew that if they didn't, they might face even greater disaster.
So people began to look for women who met the requirements.
The news quickly spread throughout the village, causing a panic.
Every family feared that their daughter would become a victim, and many began praying for other solutions.
However, time was running out and they had to make a decision quickly.
Finally, after a difficult screening, they found a girl who met the requirements.
This girl is beautiful, but her life is miserable.
Her parents died early and she was raised by her grandparents.
Because her grandparents are old, she has been living a hard life.
Faced with this sudden fate, she felt helpless and desperate.
"I don't want to marry the River God... I'm still young and haven't lived enough..."
The girl cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She knew that once she embarked on this path, there would be no turning back.
"It is your honor to be the bride of the River God. Stop talking so much nonsense."
The village chief frowned and ordered his men to tie her up by force.
Seeing this, the girl's grandparents wanted to rescue her.
However, both of them were old and were pushed to the ground in an instant.
Seeing this, the girl could only agree with tears in her eyes.
She knew that if she didn't agree, her grandparents would not be able to stay in the village.
Besides, even if she didn't agree, the villagers would kidnap her.
The next day, the sun slowly rose from the east, and its sunlight shone on the earth.
The girl was wearing a bright red wedding dress and standing on a high platform built by the river with a blank expression, like a soulless doll.
Her eyes were empty, as if she had lost all perception of the world.
Beside her, a witch was dancing, singing, and muttering to herself, as if she was performing some mysterious ritual.
The river was surging like a ferocious beast, roaring and showing its fangs and claws.
Its power is so strong that people can't help but feel fear, worrying that it will devour them at any time.
The river rushes by, making a huge noise, as if mocking the insignificance and powerlessness of human beings.
Time passed minute by minute, and the witch finally stopped her dancing and singing.
She walked quietly to the girl and looked at her with cold eyes.
Then, she ruthlessly tied the girl's hands tightly together, pushed her hard, and threw her into the surging river.
The girl's body drew an arc in the air and then disappeared under the water.
