At Patriarch Shi's house, Xiao Chen, Sang, Mo Xiaowan, and Patriarch Shi's family had dinner together.
Xiao Chen looked at Patriarch Shi and said, "Chief Shi, I also want to make a sacrifice by the river tonight."
"Mr. Xiao, do you want to put boys and girls into the water too?"
"Of course not. I won't do those illegal things, and I won't be able to do those cruel things." In Xiao Chen's view, the so-called sacrifice is a very cruel thing.
It is disgraceful. No matter how many years have passed, future generations will feel scared and shameful when mentioning it.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you want?"
"Chief Shi, prepare a pig, a sheep, and two roosters for me."
There are pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs here in Miao Village.
"Mr. Xiao, are these all meant to be lived?"
"To live."
If animals are used to replace humans, in the eyes of Chief Shi and others, this is nothing. Anyway, it is normal to eat the meat of these animals now.
When Patriarch Shi went to make arrangements, Sang and Mo Xiaowan didn't know what Xiao Chen was going to do.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Chief Shi was already ready.
Bought a pig, a goat, and two roosters from the villagers.
Then they all were brought to the riverside where the three children had an accident today.
Now the women and children in the Miao village dare not come over to take a look. However, many bold adults and old people come over to take a look. They just heard that this young man named Xiao is the great apprentice of the head of the Jiuli Sect. He is said to be highly skilled in magic and medicine.
, and when I came, I saved three children who were almost pulled into the water by the water ghost.
After these things are prepared.
Xiao Chen then asked Chief Shi to bring over the thicker hemp rope from the village.
This kind of hemp rope is very thick and strong. Even if it is used for tug of war, it cannot be broken.
Xiao Chen took out the yellow paper again and folded two small paper figures respectively. The two small paper figures were thrown into the water by the river.
After everything was ready, Xiao Chen tied the little pig to the hemp rope. While the little pig was shouting, it was slowly lifted into the water.
At the beginning, when the little pig struggled in the water, we could see how miserable the boys and girls who were sacrificed back then were, but now they were just little pigs. Many people were a little unhappy.
I dare to look at it.
If boys and girls were sacrificed back then, one can imagine how sad the families of those children were, especially the children’s mothers. How could they withstand such a blow?
When Xiao Chen put the little pig into the water, he struggled for a while, and then slowly he could feel that the little pig had been drowned in the water.
In the dark night, you can only see the moonlight and stars above your head, but when the moonlight shines on the river, you can't see clearly what's in the river.
Many old people and other adults watched there, expecting to find a miracle.
However, they were also very curious as to whether this young disciple of Jiuli Sect could really lure out the water ghost like this.
If that was really the case, my ancestors might have caught the water ghost long ago, but in fact they didn't.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Chen suddenly felt his hand sink. Could it be that something was really eating that little pig? Unexpectedly, when Xiao Chen looked over, he found that it was just some big fish.
Just now when the pig was put down and struggling and bleeding, it had already attracted the big fish in the river.
Now those big fish are eating that little pig.
This piglet weighs only a dozen kilograms at most. It is the roasted suckling pig that people usually like to eat. It is made from this kind of piglet.
When Xiao Chen pulled the little pig up, he found that it had been eaten a lot and the pig was already incomplete.
The Miao villagers didn't seem surprised when they saw it. They had long known that in addition to water ghosts, there were many big fish in the river.
Perhaps it is because of the existence of this water ghost that many villagers dare not go into the water to catch fish or fish. That is, some children do not know about it and do not take it seriously, so they only go to the river to bathe and touch snails.
"Mr. Xiao, this seems to be of no use?" said one of the sons of Patriarch Shi.
"I want to see what's in this river."
In addition to these big fish, Xiao Chen also wanted to see how many people had been eaten by this river. He really wanted to see what was there.
Of course, if this water ghost really existed, in Xiao Chen's opinion, that would be great.
This pig had already been bitten off a lot, so Xiao Chen tied up the goat and went down.
Soon, the goat was in the same condition as before.
Xiao Chen still didn't see anything, so he just
He tied a hemp rope to a big rock by the river, and then he sat aside.
Now the villagers of Dongjiang Miao Village are watching, not knowing whether they want to watch the excitement or see a joke.
Xiao Chen ignored the mentality of the villagers, and Sang and Mo Xiaowan knew that Xiao Chen was much more powerful than they thought. From their understanding of Xiao Chen, they knew that if Xiao Chen was not sure, he would definitely not do it.
This kind of thing.
"Sister Xiaowan, are you scared?"
"I was a little scared at first, but when I saw you here, I wasn't scared anymore."
Thinking of seeing those paper figures getting married this morning, Mo Xiaowan seemed to be the most scared.
"Then do you believe there really are water ghosts?"
"I don't think so." Mo Xiaowan said.
"Why?" Xiao Chen said.
"Because no one has ever seen a real water ghost."
However, Sang believes in water ghosts.
Xiao Chen knew that the so-called water ghosts mentioned by the Miao villagers were not the real water ghosts they imagined, which meant that this kind of thing was probably something else.
It's even possible that it's a human being.
The reason why Xiao Chen guessed like that was because he had seen too many things.
"Then you just stay here and watch the fun. If I don't resolve this matter and give an explanation to the Miao villagers, I will definitely not leave."
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I saw that the hemp rope tied to the big rock started to move, and it looked very strong. Xiao Chen hurried over and saw that there was something in the water pulling on the dead bird.
goat.
"Xiao Chen, what the hell is that pulling?" Mo Xiaowan asked.
"Let me see."
Xiao Chen took a closer look. With his naked eyes, he would definitely not be able to see very clearly in this night. However, if he looked at it with his clairvoyant eyes, it would be different. No matter how dark it was, he could see it.
Sure enough, Xiao Chen did see something furry pulling the goat.
This thing is in the water and does not float.
"There's something there. It must have taken the bait. I want to go into the water and take a look." Xiao Chen said.
"Xiao Chen, you have to be careful." Sang and Mo Xiaowan were both a little worried.
When Xiao Chen took off his clothes and other Miao villagers looked over, Xiao Chen, who was only wearing underpants, stood directly by the river, and then jumped into the water.
