My sister and I grab a man

Xiao Ningming took Lin Che to the back of the village, and found that there was indeed a long river with no end in sight that half surrounded the back of the village chief.

The villagers seemed to have obtained the permission of the "river god" to dig two or three trails to bring drinking water into the village for daily drinking.

Xiao Ningming walked slowly to the river, looking at the clear water, there were still fish and shrimp swimming in it, it didn't look like it was controlled by some evil thing at all.

He squatted down slowly, stretched out a hand and put it into the river. Apart from feeling the coolness of the river water, he could not feel anything else in his palm.

The water swam downstream through his fingers.

"Master, who is that?" Lin Che stood beside him, put her hands behind her back, and squinted her eyes to look into the distance.

Xiao Ningming stood up and shook off the remaining water from his hands. Following Lin Che's gaze, he looked over and found a hunchbacked fisherman not far away, sitting by the river to fish.

"Go and have a look." Xiao Ningming looked at the fisherman's ragged clothes, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, looking very leisurely.

After the two approached, they found that there was no fish hanging on the fisherman's fishing rod, but the bucket next to the fish was full.

"Is it possible to fish without bait?" Lin Che walked to the side of the fisherman and lightly kicked the side of the bucket with his foot. The fish inside felt the vibration of the bucket, and quickly started to roll around again, splashing Lin Che's pants. drops of water.

Lin Che didn't care about these, but just observed the fisherman carefully: "Could it be that you follow the example of Jiang Taigong again? Thinking that anyone who wishes can be hooked?"

Hearing what he said, the fisherman laughed loudly: "I'm afraid this little brother misunderstood me. I just forgot to bring the bait when I went out today, and I was too lazy to go back to get it. I had to fish with empty bait. I didn't expect it. There are still so many fools taking the bait."

"Fool?" Lin Che snorted coldly, and stood by the river. The school of fish that had been slowly testing the fisherman's empty bait just now seemed to be frightened, and suddenly dispersed, "Fish can also be called For a fool?"

"How can it not be?" The fisherman's dry yellow face was hidden under his straw hat, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, only the corner of his mouth was smiling, "It's such a big river, they can swim whatever they want, but they have to Come to bite my empty bait and become my meal, what is it if you are not a fool?"

"You're right!" Lin Che thought for a second or two and suddenly laughed after hearing what he said. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Ningming, "This kind of person is indeed a fool."

Xiao Ningming spoke unhurriedly: "I just heard that there is a river god living in this river. Presumably the fish in this river are quite spiritual. If they are really ordinary fish, how can they come to bite the empty bait?"

After all, a strange-looking fish slowly swam over from the school of fish that had just dispersed. It touched the fisherman's empty bait, and immediately opened its mouth to bite.

The fisherman pulled up the fishing rod vigorously, and the fish was dragged out of the river by the fishing line, and splashed in the air. The fisherman quickly reached out to hold it, but he didn't expect that the fish was electrified.

The moment the fisherman touched him, he was immediately shocked back and threw it back into the river.

Xiao Ningming looked at the scene just now, with a flat expression on his face, but a smile hidden in his eyes: "Oh! It really is an extraordinary river, and there are such strange fish in it."

The fisherman raised his head and glared at Xiao Ningming: "This kind of strange fish lives in the river. It will not only hurt the fishermen around, but also the same kind in the river. Sooner or later, it will be caught and killed!"

"This river is so big, how can you catch such a spiritual fish in a short while?" Xiao Ningming looked at the river, the fish that was thrown back into the river by the fisherman just now had disappeared.

The fisherman seemed to have been smitten by him, and he buttoned down his straw hat, and stopped talking, but concentrated on holding his fishing rod.

Xiao Ningming also saw that there was indeed nothing strange about the river, so he politely said to him: "Old man, you'd better fish well, and we won't bother you."

After saying that, she turned around and walked back. Seeing that Xiao Ningming was going to go back, Lin Che hurriedly stepped up to follow, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and ran back, kicking over the fish bucket beside the fisherman.

Let all the fish in it spill out, and bounce and roll on the ground.

"You...!" The fisherman wanted to get up and get angry at him, but the moment he met Lin Che's eyes, he sat back with fear on his face.

"I don't care what fish you want to eat. If you dare to hurt the man just now, I will drain your river."

Lin Che looked down at him from above, and after saying this, she turned around and followed Xiao Ningming's back and left.

Only the fisherman was left staring at the backs of the two of them. At this moment, the water in the river suddenly became turbulent, and all the fish that were knocked to the ground on the bank were swept back by the river.

Together with the fisherman holding the empty rod.

Back in the village, Uncle Yang responded cheerfully: "I didn't expect you to be the Sapphire Sword Immortal! Hey, Sword Immortal, you are so humble, why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Ning nodded with a smile on his face, and said in his heart: Have all the self-introductions I mentioned when we met were blown away by the wind?

"With you, we won't be afraid! Wait for the sacrifice three days later, and you can just rush up and chop that river god!" Uncle Yang said in a bold tone, and arranged for Xiao Ningming properly.

"Three days later?" Xiao Ningming grasped the point, "Three days later is your sacrifice this year?"

"Yes! Didn't I tell you?" Uncle Yang was also surprised.

"Then who is the river girl you prepared? Minmin?" Xiao Ningming asked.

"No, we didn't prepare anyone." Uncle Yang scratched his head, "In fact, the villagers have long been prepared to wait for death. They are threatened by the river god year after year, and every household is worried. I can't stand this atmosphere, I might as well die!"

Uncle Yang spoke out loudly, he himself seemed to be defying life and death, but other people in the village, those men, women and children seemed to be worried on their faces and pretended to be worried in their hearts.

"What are you doing waiting to die? Don't you think about running away?" Lin Che looked at Uncle Yang, as if laughing at his stupidity.

"It's not that I didn't think about it... In fact, in the past two years, people have tried to escape from the village one after another, but they always found their bodies floating in the river after they disappeared for a while." Uncle Yang's tone became much more serious, "Every time someone If you run away, not only will you be punished by the river god, but it will also deprive the villagers of clean water. In those few days, the river water turned into blood, making people unable to drink..."

You are not allowed to escape, and you will make offerings regularly every year... This river god not only acts in front of the tyrant in this village, but also treats the villagers as domestic animals, which is really evil to the extreme.

"Actually, one or two priests came to the village before, and they were begged by the villagers to stay and eliminate demons...but they all died in the end." Uncle Yang looked at Xiao Ningming and sighed, "Gradually, everyone became numb, anyway, every year You have to make a confession, as long as the face of the woman in your family is scratched and disfigured, this kind of thing is not your responsibility, and the family can still be safe for a lifetime."

"But if everyone scratches their face, no one will make a confession, and the river god will be angry." Xiao Ningming continued his words.

"That's right, that's right, now we've come to such a situation...Everyone's skin is scratched, no one makes a confession, and the village is about to face a catastrophe." Uncle Yang said.

"Isn't there another person?" Xiao Ningming thought of the innocent and lovely girl in the village chief's yard.

She is the only undisfigured woman in the entire village.

As soon as Minmin was mentioned, Uncle Yang sighed again, and his voice was slightly lowered: "Actually, Minmin was also disfigured before, but..."

"Just what?"

Minmin was also disfigured?So how did she fix it?

Uncle Yang looked around, and finally winked at Xiao Ningming and Lin Che, and asked them to follow him to an empty corner, and said quietly: "When Divine Doctor Qin came, he gave the village chief a gift. As for the secondary medicine, Divine Doctor Qin expected that if someone disfigured and saved his life, he would make the whole village follow suit, and when the time came, no one would make a confession, leading to a catastrophe..."

"So, he gave the village chief a medicine that can restore his appearance." Xiao Ningming felt that this was something that eccentric Qin Ziren could do.

"That's right." Uncle Yang nodded, "But only the village chief and I know about this matter. Now that the day of offering sacrifices is getting closer and closer, if no one really makes an offering, the river god will definitely flood the village with flood water. of!"

After Xiao Ningming listened to his words, he also guessed in his heart that the village chief didn't want the village to disappear like this, and he didn't want everyone to die for it, so he had to let his granddaughter Minmin take the medicine to restore her appearance. It's time to send it out for sacrifice.

However, if the villagers knew that the village chief had such a medicine, they would definitely be angry.

Self-destruction of appearance is of no use at all. In the end, it can be cured by a dose of medicine and sent to the river to drown.

"So, does anyone in the village know that Minmin has recovered her appearance?" Xiao Ningming frowned.

"Yes, everyone thinks that they are in a catastrophe. In fact, many people are relieved." Uncle Yang said, "Those girls who have ruined their appearance will definitely be criticized even if they leave the village. It is better to simply wait for death and wait. I will have a good pregnancy in my next life..."

Uncle Yang changed the subject: "But now you are here! You don't have to wait to die any longer, and you don't have to be so scared by the Laoshizi River God that you can't sleep at night! As long as you go down with your sword, the River God won't be afraid Fuck the shit!"

Looking at the anticipation in Uncle Yang's eyes.

Xiao Ningming felt that the pressure on his shoulders was heavy.

The fisherman I just met by the river should be the river god who keeps oppressing the villagers. Although the man looks old and hunchbacked, his skill is unfathomable.

Standing beside him, Xiao Ningming wanted to use his breath to deal with him, but found that he was so weak that as soon as he approached, he was shocked by the evil spirit of the fisherman.

...Fortunately, Lin Che was on the side to help, resisting the evil spirit on the fisherman so that he could keep probing from the other side.
