In the middle of the ancestral hall, there are the rankings of some of the clan elders from past dynasties. The family tree is placed below, and melons and fruit scented candles are placed on the altar table.
On the ground nearby, two neatly dressed boys and girls wearing bright red festive bellybands were lying on the ground sleeping soundly, snoring slightly.
"Erya, Xiaodouzi. My son!"
Seeing the two children who were thinking about them day and night, the woman could no longer bear it. She took a few steps forward, held the two children in her arms and cried softly.
"Mom, are you here to pick us up?"
"Mom, there are a lot of delicious food here! There are red dates, melon seeds, chicken legs and meat. My brother and I can eat a lot of delicious food every day these days. Mom, how about we live here in the future?
?”
After hearing what the two children said, the woman felt even more sad. She wiped her tears and forced a smile:
"Mom is here to deliver wontons to you two. Come on, eat them while they are hot."
"Oh, wontons. My mother's wontons are the best!"
"I want a big bowl!"
"Me too!"
The two children started to eat. The woman looked at this scene and quickly covered her mouth, but she couldn't help but shed tears again.
Outside the window, two figures watched this scene quietly.
Li Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at Wang Yu aside, and said softly:
"Chengyun, when it's time to worship the river god tomorrow, the lives of these two children will depend on you and mine. Don't make any mistakes then."
Wang Yu said seriously: "Brother Li, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me."
Li Yu said nothing more.
The bright moon high in the sky was gradually obscured by dark clouds. When the bright moon appeared again, the two figures outside the window had disappeared.
Both Baishui River and Qingshui River originate from Dalong River in Fengzhou, and Dalong River is still just one of the many tributaries of Longyuan River.
As for the Longyuan River, this river originates from Tianzhu Mountain in the far north and stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles. Its waves are mighty and runs through the five states in the northern region. It is one of the three largest rivers famous in the world.
Although the Baishui River is just a tributary of the Longyuan River, it is still more than a hundred meters wide and the deepest point can be more than ten feet. There are many kinds of underwater fish in sufficient numbers, and they have nourished countless creatures on both sides of the river bank over the years.
.
It was already mid-morning, the weather was clear, and the sun was high in the sky.
By the Baishui River.
Here ushered in the three-monthly sacrificial activity to the river god.
Many people had gathered on the entire river beach, creating a chaotic scene.
Although there were people dedicated to maintaining order, there were too many people watching the excitement, and the yelling voices were drowned in the crowd.
"Come here, please invite the River God!"
As an old man came out of the crowd and announced loudly, two groups of people immediately started beating gongs and drums, dancing lions and dragons, making noisy noises and tinkling, it was so lively!
At the same time, some men lit two long firecrackers.
As various sounds gradually spread, at the bottom of the river in the distance, a huge black shadow seemed to be disturbed by the sound. It suddenly swung its tail and stirred up a large amount of mud at the bottom of the river.
Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums gradually died down, and the sound of lion dance gradually stopped.
At this time, both the crowd and the respected clan elders standing nearby all closed their mouths in a tacit agreement and remained silent.
All pairs of eyes looked towards the river.
These people seem to be waiting for something.
For a moment, the silence here was terrifying!
At the signal of a clan elder, several men led the cattle and sheep, and brought three animals, big and small, to the river. Then they used sharp knives to cut open the necks of the cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., and blood spattered, and the cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. Was pushed into the river.
As soon as they fell into the water, these cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and other animals began to struggle.
However, after struggling for a long time, these animals disappeared one by one.
In the groggy river water, a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen.
This black shadow is more than two feet long, which is much larger than a serious fishing boat!
Seeing this black shadow, many people's eyes were straightened, they were frightened, and they were so frightened that they backed away.
What's more, they kneel down and kowtow, take out incense sticks and light them, chant something in their mouths, and kowtow repeatedly:
"Master River God, please bless my daughter-in-law to give me a big fat boy this year."
"King Black Horn, please bless my family's fishing success in the coming year."
"O God of the River, I pray that the foolish man Zhang Damin will make a fortune this year and have good luck at the gambling table."
There is nothing better than this in all aspects of life.
"Someone is coming!"
He was still the clan elder just now, now standing by the river, his hands trembling slightly, his head held high and he said loudly: "Please, boys and girls, sacrifice to the river god~~~~"
The voice was high and powerful, but it could not hide the helplessness and trembling in it.
As soon as he finished speaking and the crowd parted, two men came over leading two dolls, a boy and a girl.
At this time, the boy and girl were tied with red ropes and wore red bellybands. They looked quite festive. They were even covered with sesame oil and honey, exuding a strong and strange aroma.
"Erya! Xiaodouzi!!!"
Among the crowd, a woman squeezed in and tried to rush over like crazy, but was stopped by several men.
At this time, the two men holding the red rope had arrived at the river.
In the river below the two of them, a huge black shadow was waiting silently.
Just as he was about to push the two dolls into the river, one of the men suddenly stopped and smiled: "Brother Chengyun, it's your turn to take action!"
The other man nodded, and the two people's bodies were rippled with light and spiritual light, and then their original appearance was revealed.
Surprisingly, it was Li Yu and Wang Yu.
"Huh? Who are you?! What do you want to do!"
At this time, someone noticed something was wrong and wanted to step forward to check.
Li Yu and the other two paid no attention to him. Wang Yu quickly made a seal with his hands and said: "Explode!"
Bang!
Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound came from the belly of the black shadow in the water below.
The sound was like muffled thunder.
Then, the black figure trembled suddenly, struggling violently in the water as if struck by lightning, causing a huge splash.
"Ouch——"
A strange sound like a cow sounded from the bottom of the river, with anger and pain that could not be concealed in the sound!
The dark shadow under the water now floated to the surface, revealing its true appearance.
Astonishingly, it was a giant black fish with a big head, a long body and a small tail!
This black fish is covered with black and gray scales, shining with a cold light, especially on its head, which has a horny protrusion as big as a basin. It looks ferocious and terrifying, and exudes an aura that should be avoided by strangers.
The terrible smell.
However, at this time, a hole as big as a washbasin appeared in its belly, and some colorful internal organs could be seen inside.
At this time, blood was flowing out from the wound, and even some pieces of meat and broken internal organs were also flowing out.
Li Yu held the black tiger knife in both hands, looked at the black fish condescendingly, and chuckled:
"I wonder what kind of monster it is. It turns out to be a black fish spirit! It seems to be more difficult to deal with than the weasel last time. But it's ridiculous that a mere black fish spirit dares to call himself the river god!"
"It's just that no matter whether you are a monster or a river god, the feeling of having an explosive flame talisman explode in your belly shouldn't be pleasant, right?"
