My sister and I grab a man

On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, Hegu would wear wedding clothes, and then be put into a sedan chair and sent into the river.

The so-called sedan chair is actually a heavy iron cage with two sections of red silk hanging on it.

After the sedan chair enters the river, it will slowly sink to the bottom of the river. If the river girl in the sedan chair does not surface for half an hour, it means that the sacrifice has been successful.

How absurd.

Xiao Ningming looked at the grandpa and grandson who were hugging and crying together, and felt a little more worried, and said: "Village chief, why are you so afraid of the river god? We can subdue him if we don't expect it in this sacrifice."

The village chief wiped away his tears, perhaps it was Minmin's appearance that aroused his inner desire to survive, he didn't want to die, and he didn't want Minmin to die: "The river god...in fact, he will come to me every once in a while. "

"What!?" Uncle Yang stared at him in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

"Every time he knocks on my door in a different way, sometimes it's Erpang, sometimes Xiuhua, and sometimes it's you, Yang Fugui." The village chief began to explain slowly, "I don't know where to come from." Whether the person in question is a villager or a river god, every time he comes, he will lie to me and ask about the situation in the village... Then he will show his prototype and threaten me to let me do things."

The village chief knelt on the ground with a plop, crying loudly: "It's all my retribution! It's all my retribution!"

Uncle Yang didn't have time to go forward to help him, so he heard him preach again: "I took the river god to catch those people who escaped from the village! I also told the river god to kill the priests who came to the village. Understand!"

"Why did you do this!" Uncle Yang's face was filled with horror and anger. He stared at the village head who was kneeling on the ground with wide eyes, "You killed them!"

"I know! I hurt them! It's all my retribution!" The village head knocked his head on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "He always comes here to make excuses, and then threatens that if I don't help him Kill me and Minmin! I'm really scared! It doesn't matter if I'm half-buried in the ground or not...but Minmin is still young!"

"Then why do you have to ask Minmin to offer sacrifices now! What are you so worried about!" After hearing what he said, Uncle Yang pointed at him angrily and cursed, "I trust you so much in vain! Treat you as a A good village head, I will discuss everything with you! It turns out...it turns out that I am also helping someone else make a wedding dress!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

The village head is really old. After crying for a while, he has no strength, so he can only curl up on the ground, and his voice gradually decreases.

"That time the River God changed into your appearance to discuss with me about offering sacrifices... I told him about the medicine given to me by Divine Doctor Qin, and he immediately changed back to his original form, strangling my neck and demanding I must choose a girl to restore her appearance and sacrifice to him...or he will tell the villagers everything I did...!"

"Are you still afraid that things will be revealed!? If you don't do anything wrong, why are you afraid of some ghost knocking on the door!?"

"That's why...that's why I chose Minmin..." the village chief cried, "I want to atone for everything I did...I am willing to go into the river with Minmin..."

"You want to enter the river yourself! You drag Minmin into the water! How can you be a grandfather!" After speaking, Uncle Yang was about to kick the village chief, but Xiao Ningming quickly stopped him.

"Sword Immortal! Don't stop me! I'll kill him first! Then run away with the villagers!" Uncle Yang lost control of his emotions, his face flushed, and he wanted to beat the village chief to death no matter what.

Although Xiao Ningming's skills were weakened, his strength was still there. He pushed Uncle Yang onto the bench and sat down. Then he turned around and helped the village chief who was still curled up on the ground:

"Don't be impatient, you two. Now we only have one common enemy. If internal strife arises at this time, it will let that evil spirit succeed instead?"

Seeing Xiao Ningming's attack, Uncle Yang didn't want to continue to be angry, he just stared at the village chief: "Then what should we do now! The river god must have known that Sword Immortal came to our village, and he has already gone back to prepare countermeasures !"

Uncle Yang got up and quickly walked over to pull Minmin behind him: "You are going to die yourself! Anyway, I don't agree to take people's lives in exchange for a moment of peace!"

The gluttonous mouth of the river god is endless.If you want to stop the river god, you must kill him completely.

Xiao Ningming's eyes wandered back and forth among these few people, and finally his expression was a little dignified: "I have a way, but..."

"Just what?"

"..." Xiao Ningming was silent for a while, "Let's talk about it on the day of sacrifice."

After reconciling for a while, Uncle Yang couldn't forgive the village chief's practice of harming others and himself, and finally chose to leave with his back.

Minmin, who knew all the truth, stood alone in the corner all the time, with empty eyes streaming tears.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the day of the sacrifice, the villagers were woken up by the sound of gongs and drums. When they came out, they saw that the village head led a group of people carrying "bridal sedan chairs" across the village path.

When people came to their senses, Hegu's team had already left the village entrance and walked towards the Muna River.

Realizing that something was wrong, the villagers hurriedly told each other and followed the team out of the village. They chased the team to the river and surrounded the team, slowing down the team's progress.

They saw a person in a red wedding dress sitting in a sedan chair.

The man wore a big red hijab on his head, which almost covered his chest.The sedan chair was vaguely blocked by the red silk cloth outside, so people could only get a general idea of ​​it.

"What's going on? Didn't it say that there will be no more tributes this year!"

"Yes! Who is the person in the sedan chair? The women in the village are all disfigured! Do we still have to sacrifice them forcibly!"

The villagers looked at the people sitting in the sedan chair in surprise. The sedan chair was still moving forward. The people in the sedan chair seemed to have heard the movement outside, but they only moved slightly, without other movements.

Among the noisy crowd, Uncle Yang rushed out even more excitedly, but was stopped by a few guys in charge of guards next to him: "Village chief! What are you doing!? Didn't you agree to stop paying tribute!"

The village head walking at the front of the line looked at Uncle Yang and sighed, "I'm all for the village..."

"Fuck your mother! Minmin is your granddaughter, you can bear it!?" Uncle Yang shouted, "Everyone! The one sitting on the sedan chair is Minmin! The village chief has the medicine to restore his appearance! He will take Minmin Sacrifice out!"

When the crowd heard his words, there was an instant commotion: "What!? It's Minmin!"

Uncle Yang took advantage of the chaos to break through the barrier, ran to the front of the team and spread his hands to force the team to stop.The village head was also anxious, and shouted loudly: "Yang Fugui! What are you doing! Do you want everyone to be punished by the river god with you!"

"No matter what I say, I can't make you sacrifice Minmin! This kind of persecution must stop today!" Uncle Yang shouted angrily, "Where is the sword fairy! Let the sword fairy lead us to eradicate that evildoer!"

"Nonsense!" The village head blushed when he saw him, "Arrest him! Don't let him break the priest! Everyone will be punished then!"

The villagers watched the two most prestigious people in the village quarreling like this, and they didn't know which side to lean towards.

The villagers who were persuaded by Uncle Yang to resist to the death at the beginning were not relieved, but now they saw that someone was selected as Hegu and sat on the sedan chair, and they felt a little relieved in their hearts.

No one dies in vain for no reason, as long as disasters do not befall them, they are willing to live on and accept the oppression of the River God.

But the women were afraid in their hearts. The village chief had medicine to heal his appearance, which meant that even if his face was disfigured now, next year he might be healed of his facial injuries and become a new Hegu.

The pain I have suffered in the past has no meaning.

Soon, two factions formed among the villagers, one faction supported the village chief's sacrifice to survive, and the other didn't want to be a pig and dog in the river god's pen anymore, and wanted to die with both jade and stone.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, the village head quickly directed the team to walk towards the river.

A few strong young men carried the sedan chair and walked quickly towards the Muna River. Before the others could argue, people heard the village chief shouting towards the river: " Send Hegu off!"

As soon as the words fell, people heard a plop, and the sedan chair carrying Hegu had been pushed into the river, and the river surged instantly, engulfing the sedan chair.

Seeing the gradually calm river surface, people were also stunned.

The God of the River accepted this year's Hegu, and if he waited another half an hour, the sacrifice would be considered a complete success.

Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, Uncle Yang ran over angrily and grabbed the village chief by the collar and shouted: "Do you think you are saving us! We will never escape the river god's control!"

The village head only had a relieved smile on his face: "I have already escaped..."

"…what?"

"The river girl sent into the river is not Minmin."

"It's not Minmin? Who is that?" Uncle Yang's eyes widened and he took a deep breath, "Could it be...!"

——Lin Che was woken up from a dream. After eating the meal last night, he felt a little groggy in his head, and fell asleep after a while.

"Brother Little Sword Fairy...wake up..." Min Min brought a bowl of water to wake Lin Che up and handed it to him.

Lin Che sat up from the bed, his mind was still a little confused. He looked around and found that the person who should be in the room had disappeared.

He only felt a leak in his heart, grabbed Minmin's arm and dragged her to him: "Where is Xiao Ningming!"

Minmin was frightened by his sudden movement, her body and voice trembled a little: "The team escorting Hegu has been away for a long time..."

"Escort He Gu? Aren't you He Gu?" Lin Che felt more and more uneasy, and Min Min felt that his arm was about to be broken by him.

"I'm Hegu... But the Sword Immortal replaced me this morning... He asked me to wake you up after two sticks of incense after the team left..." Minmin's eyes burst into tears.
