After awakening the mermaid, he became the favorite of the marshal

Chi Shu stiffened all of a sudden, the face that was attached to the man's palm seemed to be frozen by ice at this moment, and he didn't dare to move at all. He sucked his nose lightly, slowly trying to move his face back.

But the other party lightly clasped his head, not allowing him to move, and firmly pressed his face against his palm.

Chi Shu froze in place.

Fortunately, today's snake god seems to be very quiet, he is more accepting of this humanoid snake god than the snake shape.

The carriage was so quiet that Chi Shu could hear his rapid breathing.

The cold hands of the snake god kept supporting his face, maintaining Chi Shu's movement of rubbing against him just now.

Chi Shu didn't know what he wanted to do, and he didn't wait for the other party's next move for a long time, as if the other party came here to support his head.

After a long time, the man still made the same movement, and Chi Shu felt like he was about to fall asleep.

The man suddenly bent down and leaned close to his neck.

Chi Shu thought he was going to bite him, so he turned his head nervously, but the other party didn't chase after him, and touched his neck with his cold fingertips, and then the tip of his nose slowly moved up his neck, as if he was searching for something.

After a while, Chi Shu heard the person holding him say, "Are you my mother?"

The tone of the speech was a bit weird, but the voice was inexplicably familiar to Chi Shu.

What shocked him even more was the content of the other party's words.

Chi Shu turned his head sharply, opened his eyes, and saw a familiar carriage in front of him. Because of his haste, he knocked his head hard on the carriage.

Chi Shu covered his head and got up, looked around, and when he saw the priest not far away, he breathed a sigh of relief, but soon raised the breath again.

He touched his stomach in disbelief, as if it had really grown.

Although not as exaggerated as in the dream, this size is still much larger than before. It was just like a small ball before, but now my stomach is the size of two watermelons.

Chi Shu looked at the sacrifice aside with a little luck.

"My belly isn't getting bigger."

His eyes were full of hope, and the priest glanced down at his stomach.

"It has grown bigger." These three words ruthlessly broke Chi Shu's fantasy.

He touched his belly, "Why... suddenly... it got bigger."

When he was nervous, he started stuttering again.

"The curse is getting stronger every day, and the only way to solve it is to participate in the festival."

"Then when will we start the ceremony?" He looked at the priest anxiously.

The other party was wearing a mask, and his voice was muffled.

After hearing what he said, the priest lifted the curtain and glanced outside.

"It's coming soon, you will be able to participate in the ceremony right away and get the blessing of Lord Feather God."

"Great." Chi Shu's expression relaxed a little, he pursed his lips, and slightly bent his eyes.

"Yes." The priest looked at him, and a happy smile appeared on his lips under the mask.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and Chi Shu felt a slight shake, and then landed firmly on the ground.

Chi Shu reached out to open the car door, but the priest suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The priest's fingertips were also cold, only a little warmer than the snake god he had just dreamed about. The feeling of being too similar made Chi Shu feel a little uncomfortable, so he twisted and retracted his hand.

"what happened?"

Even the voice line is similar to the snake god in the dream.

Chi Shu blinked slowly, trying to drive out the weird thoughts in his mind, he let out a deep breath, shook his head, "It's okay."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and observed the priest from the corner of his eye.

The priest hummed, and did not pursue the topic any further.

Chi Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the priest's gaze to see his stomach.

He touched his obviously swollen belly, and looked out the window longingly, "Can I go out and prepare for the ceremony?"

The priest suddenly sighed, "The small fishing village is a xenophobic village. If you go out like this, you will be burned to death as a monster."

The expression on Chi Shu's paralyzed little face froze for a moment, "But... I came with the temple."

There was a smile on the corner of the mouth under the sacrificial mask.

The little sacrifice pinched the small pocket on his chest, and the two slender red threads were pulled taut by him, leaving faint red marks on his fair neck.

The priest couldn't help but frowned looking at the red marks.

He patted Chi Shu's shoulder reassuringly, "Don't be afraid."

Chi Shu looked at the priest helplessly, "Do you have a method?"

The priest nodded, and took out a piece of clothing from a small grid under Xizhou from the seat of the carriage.

Chi Shu glanced at the clothes in his hand in confusion.

The color of this dress is similar to the one on his body, but the patterns on the clothes are much more complicated than the one on his body.

Moreover, Chi Shu turned it over and looked at it for a while, and it seemed that the dress had no sleeves, but only two thin straps.

He looked at the priest in a daze, "What is this?"

The priest had a serious face, and the face under the mask could not be seen clearly. "It is specially prepared by the temple for those who have been descended from the gods."

Chi Shu frowned, "Did God's descent mean that Master Yushen descended to my side?"

"No!" The priest vetoed his conjecture at once.

"God descending means that Master Feather God favors you and allows you to conceive a child of the god."

Chi Shu's hand holding the clothes trembled, and he glanced at his stomach.

"But, me."

The priest shook his head, with a sacred feeling on his face, "The gods will forgive you, this is a helpless expedient measure."

Chi Shu always felt that something was wrong, but he still nodded. He took the clothes and studied them for a while, and found that he couldn't wear them.

The clothes were much more troublesome than the one he was wearing, and he looked at the priest helplessly while holding the clothes.

"How to wear this."

He lowered his head and quietly observed the expression of the priest, not knowing how to wear even a single piece of clothing, which was really embarrassing.

After finishing speaking, he saw that the eyes under the priest's mask narrowed, and the big bony hands directly took the clothes in his hands.

The priest sighed, seemingly helpless, "Let me help you, if you don't get out of the car, the villagers will be in a hurry."

Chi Shu's almond-shaped eyes were slightly rounded, and he nodded in agreement.

There is a lot of space in the carriage, but the top is a bit low, so Chi Shu and the priest can only bend down to move here.

It was clearly a large space, but after the priest squeezed in, it suddenly became narrow.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chi Shu looked up at the tall man in front of him and felt nervous for a while.

He was like a weak animal being stared at by a beast, his delicate Adam's apple moved up and down, and his almond eyes looked at the man vigilantly, as if he was frightened.

The voice of the sacrificial priest spoke coldly, as if it was the same as usual.

"The original clothes take off first."

"Oh." Chi Shu's slender fingertips slid on the lace of the clothes, and looked up at the priest with some anxiety.

The other party obviously began to get impatient.

"Hurry up." The priest glanced in the direction of the car door, and his tone became a little fierce.

Chi Shu's fingertips trembled slightly, he licked his lips nervously, and tremblingly began to untie the strap.

He lowered his eyes and carefully untied the tie.

The priest squinted his eyes, tasting the uneasiness and shyness from the little sacrifice.

A little sour.

The tip of the tongue brushed the corner of the lips hidden under the mask.

His gaze fell on the small half of the body exposed by the little sacrificial offering.

The other party will be very serious about what they do at the beginning, and often forget the surrounding things.

He didn't find the Adam's apple that the priest in front of him rolled more and more frequently.

After untying the last tie, Chi Shu breathed a sigh of relief, pinching his clothes with two fingers.

"Okay." He raised his head and looked at the priest, as if asking for a reward from his master.

The priest suddenly felt a little itchy again.

The little sacrifice in front of him seemed to have forgotten the fear just now, and looked at him defenselessly, his clear almond eyes were full of trust.

"Master Sacrifice?" Seeing that he hadn't answered for a long time, Chi Shu called out to him with some doubts.

"En." The priest glanced up and down at him.

In the end, his eyes stopped on the dangling calf dangling beside the bed.

He crouched down and took hold of the foot.

The owner of the feet seemed a little frightened, tentatively retracting his feet.

"Don't move." The priest looked up at him warningly.

Chi Shu had always been obedient, and when he heard this, he didn't move any more, but felt aggrieved and grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands to stabilize his body.

He frowned, feeling a little strange that the priest's hands were usually cold.

Why is it so hot now, you won't be sick.

Chi Shu was a little worried.

Seeing that the other party was still not moving, the foot held by the other party could not help but retract slightly.

He gave a vague reminder, not daring to make it too loud, for fear that he would fall into a strange dream again.

The man hummed slowly.

The voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Chi Shu probably didn't know what he looked like in the eyes of the other party.

Clothes hung loosely, letting a dangerous man hold his feet unsuspectingly.

As soon as the priest raised his eyes, he could see the white flesh under the white robe. He glanced at the ankle that started to turn red just by holding it lightly, and slowly picked up the shoes on the side to put on for him.

Wearing the emerald green shoes on the young man's body, his skin is even more tender, and the round white and tender toes resting on them look like small fruits growing in the grass.

Tender and juicy.

Chi Shu was frightened by the appetizing eyes of the priest, he took a breath, and quickly retracted his feet.

This time the priest didn't stop him, and he managed to get his foot back.

Sure enough, although the priest was very friendly to him, he still couldn't change his desire to eat people.

Sensing Chi Shu's emotions, the priest looked up at him amusedly.

This little fool.

Chi Shu was a little afraid that the priest would not be able to stand the temptation for a while, so he gnawed on his foot.

So he whispered, "I'll put on the shoes myself."

Chi Shu bent down to get the shoes on the ground, and seeing that the priest did not object, he let go of his hanging heart.

Because sitting on the bed is not very convenient, and losing the tie is even more annoying.

There was no one else here anyway.

Chi Shu thought for a while, and simply covered only the important part of himself.

The position of the upper body allowed him to hang loosely, revealing a large expanse of fair skin and pink dots looming on it.

Chi Shu noticed that the priest on one side was a little unreasonably quiet. He turned his head and glanced at the other party, and found that the priest was only half kneeling on the ground quietly, like a statue carved in stone.

What kind of ceremony is going on?

Chi Shu was a little curious, but remembering that the priest told him to move faster, he still lifted his legs and placed them on the edge of the bed.

The wide hem then slid up.

Tick.

Chi Shu seemed to hear the sound of water droplets falling on the ground.

He puts on his shoes.

The toes touched the floor, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The ground of the temple was very clean. He had been barefoot for half a month, and now he was inexplicably uncomfortable wearing shoes.

He stood up against the edge of the bed.

After trying to take two steps, I slowly got used to this feeling.

He stumbled to the priest's side, pinching his baggy clothes with two fingers.

Holding his shoulder worriedly, "Master Sacrifice, are you alright?"

As soon as he bent down, Chi Shu saw the blood oozing along the mask.

He quickly squatted down and covered the priest's fingers with a corner of his clothes.

However, his help seemed to be useless. The red blood that was just a trickle became even more turbulent all of a sudden.

"What's the matter with you?"

Although the priest could eat people, it also helped him a lot. Seeing the other party's appearance, Chi Shu was very worried.

The priest only felt dizzy from the pink dots in front of him.

He wiped the blood on his face, his expression was still indifferent, and there was no emotion in his inorganic eyes.

"I am fine."

Chi Shu glanced at the winding bloodstains on the floor, and couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

The priest knew that the little sacrifice would not be distracted by two things.

So he stretched out his hand and pushed him to sit lightly on the bed.

"Change your clothes."

Chi Shu felt that the sacrificial priest was simply a patient who needed careful care.

He took the clothes from the priest, "I'll wear them myself."

The priest was silent for a while.

His fingertips rubbed against Chi Shu's wrist lightly, and then he responded.

"it is good."

The priest let go of the clothes in his hand.

Chi Shu glanced at the light that was slowly dimming, and shook his clothes left and right.

Kneeling on the bed with his back to the priest.

His posture was a little awkward to keep his shoes from touching the bed.

At this time, he belatedly thought why he didn't put on his clothes first.

He pursed his lips. It turned out that such a smart person as Sacrificial Priest would sometimes be stupid.

He took off his old clothes completely, leaving only the bottom half stacked around his waist.

Chi Shu gestured at the clothes, and put them on according to the front and back as the priest said just now.

This dress is designed with a skirt, which just fits his big belly at this time, and the dress has a waist design.

Most of the young man's slender waist is outlined, and a large area of ​​the back is directly exposed. The position of the shoulder blades is empty, and the cloth is not restored until it is almost to the waist.

Chi Shu touched his back, feeling a little ashamed.

Why does Lord Yushen like such clothes?

From now on, when he wears this clothes when he prays, will Lord Feather God speak better.

Chi Shu's eyes lit up.

He turned his head to look at the priest over there, his voice was a little twitchy, and his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Does Lord Feather like this kind of clothes?"

Just as the priest was about to deny it, he suddenly heard the little priest talking to himself in a low voice.

"If your lord likes it, will he like it when I wear such clothes to pray in the future?"

Chi Shu's expression was very serious, but the priest over there was stunned by his words.

His expression was a bit duller than before, probably suspecting that he had heard wrong.

If it weren't for the little sacrificial priest's eyes being too serious, the priest would have thought he was deliberately seducing him.

"Can I go out?"

Chi Shu tilted his head and looked at the priest.

"Wait." The priest woke up from the stupefaction just now.

Put a wide cloak on his head, "Put it on."

Inorganic eyes under the mask narrowed slightly, he couldn't stand other people seeing Chi Shu like this.

Chi Shu put it on as he said, and the wide cloak enveloped his whole body.

The priest didn't think it was enough, so he pulled up the cape and hat, and caged Chi Shu inside.

From the outside, only half of his delicate chin can be seen.

Chi Shu looked at the cloak that covered him.

He asked with some doubts, "Why did you change your clothes just now?"

The priest glanced at him, "You can't wear a cape during the ceremony."

Chi Shu nodded knowingly, obediently followed the priest and got out of the car, but still felt something was wrong.

Until I followed the villagers to the temple in the small fishing village.

Only then did Chi Shu realize belatedly that he could get out of the car wearing a cape first, so why did he have to change in the narrow car.

Probably there is some special reason for the sacrifice,

The temple in the small fishing village is not as big as the one he used to stay at.

There is no bird's nest in the center, and only one sculpture is enshrined in the temple.

It's not a sculpture of a bird, but a sculpture of a tall man, and the base is about three meters long.

The face of the statue is a little fuzzy, it looks like a middle-aged man with a long beard, and he looks very kind.

It's a little different from the Feather God that Chi Shu imagined.

He also thought that Master Yushen would look like a young man in his 20s.

The temperature in the temple was a little low, so Chi Shu didn't take off his cloak, and started praying directly in the cloak.

Holding the eggshell that Feather God gave him, he softly recited the prayer.

I don't know if it's because the Feather God didn't show up because he wasn't in the original temple.

Chi Shu has finished three rounds of prayers.

The familiar black ribbon still did not appear in front of him.

It seems that Master Feather God will not come today.

Chi Shu was a little disappointed.

Probably because he slept in the carriage for a long time, he is not sleepy at all now, instead he patted his belly worriedly.

He thought of the dream he had yesterday.

That suspected snake-like thing, why is it called mother.

Thinking that he might give birth to a baby snake, Chi Shu's scalp began to tingle.

If Lord Yushen doesn't rest with him today.

Will the snake god come into his dream again?

With a pale face, Chi Shu paced uneasily in the temple.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the statue over there. Although it was different from his imagination, it was the statue of Lord Yushen.

Thinking of this, Chi Shu suddenly felt relieved.

Although the statue is carved, the clothes on the statue are not carved from stone, but a complete piece of clothing.

The fabric and pattern are somewhat similar to the one worn by the priest.

Chi Shu moved to the side of the statue, pulling at the hem of his clothes, just like he usually does to the Feather God.

Mumbling began to talk about today's grievances.

Chi Shu sniffed, and tears rolled down.

The gate of the temple opened slowly.

Chi Shu thought it was a sacrifice at first, he loosened the hem of the statue's clothes a little embarrassedly, and patted the folds on it guiltyly.

Turning around, I realized that the person who came in was not a priest.

It was a villager in short brown clothes, not very old, about a teenager.

The child held three or four dishes on a tray, and he walked in slowly, looking at the pond shrub with dark eyes vigilantly, like a little hedgehog with fried hair.

Chi Shu was afraid of strangers, since the other party did not greet him, naturally he would not greet him first.

After waiting for the young boy to leave the room vigilantly, Chi Shu breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to the food.

Chi Shu, who saw the food clearly, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He didn't care about anything and stopped the little boy who was about to go out.

Because Chi Shu has been hiding in the distance, the young man who didn't see his appearance clearly widened his eyes in surprise.

After a while, his sun-tanned face began to turn red.

The two stared at each other for a while, before Chi Shu pointed to him the tray he brought over just now.

"Is this used to worship the Feather God?"

Chi Shu stared at the boy, expecting to hear a definite answer from his mouth.

The young boy who was blushing just now looked at him in horror.

"Please don't get me wrong, we have prepared a lot of sacrifices this year."

"Oh." Chi Shu nodded, twisting the hem of his clothes, unwilling to say the answer that was difficult for him to accept.

"Here's your dinner."

The little boy gave him a shy look, then hurried out.

Chi Shu didn't have time to stop him, so he walked stiffly to his dinner.

There were four or five plates on the tray, which looked very rich.

But in fact, apart from the four petals of different types, there was only a bowl of clear water left on the plate.

Chi Shu picked up the bowl of water and took a few sips.

Looking at the petals on the plate, I really had no choice but to put them back slowly.

He sniffed, today must be his Good Friday, otherwise how could he be so unlucky.

Fortunately, the guards outside the temple are all birdmen in blue clothes who came with him, and they have a very good attitude towards Chi Shu.

Chi Shu watched the sky darken.

Quietly squeezed out a small head from the back door of the temple.

Pairs of bird-like eyes looked at him.

Chi Shu blinked at them and pointed outside, indicating that he wanted to go out.

The guards in blue glanced at each other when they saw this, and then turned their heads tacitly, as if they didn't see him.

The leading guard also rolled a glowing bead out of his hand for him.

Chi Shu picked it up with a little surprise, and bent his eyes towards them with great effort on his paralyzed little face.

After walking for a while, Chi Shu ran back again, approached the leader's guard, and whispered, "Do you know where the kitchen is?"

The guard's body stiffened for a moment.

Then the chubby bird hit Chi Shu's head.

Clumsily flew down.

He pecked at his fingers, signaling him to go with him.

Chi Shu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered a thank you to the guard.

Follow the bird forward.

The roads in the village were full of potholes, even with a light in hand, it was still difficult for Chi Shu to walk.

After walking with the bird for about ten minutes, they stopped in front of a house.

The silence was eerie all around.

Chi Shu sniffed and smelled the aroma coming from the room.

He sneaked up on the window door.

The two people inside had their backs to him, he stretched out his hand, squeezed two buns carefully, and took them out with concentration

Then he took out a small gold bead from the small pocket on his chest and put it in the original place, which was originally contained in the sachet given to him by the priest.

After getting the buns, Chi Shu turned around and wanted to leave.

Turning around, a strange man who looked like a hunter was looking at him.

There was a bit of mockery on his handsome and sinister face, "It seems that the followers of Feather God are not very sincere."
