Chapter 592 River God
Seeing that her daughter was so strange to her, the woman burst into tears again.
Xiaomei looked at her mother, then turned to look at the villagers. After thinking about it, he actually walked to Xiao Fei's side, holding his big hand with a soft little hand. It seems that only Xiao Fei among all the people can give her enough sense of security.
However, Xiao Fei was their ancestor descended to earth, so she felt that she was out of reach and did not dare to get too close to him. Otherwise, she probably would hug Xiao Fei.
Seeing this scene, the villagers nodded one after another, and said inwardly, "The ancestor said that she was a maid in her previous life, which is indeed true! Xiaomei and him are very close. And they just hold hands. They are close and respectful."
"Is this the girl who is going to be burned to death? How pitiful!" Ma Xiaoling looked at Xiaomei and said. After speaking, he pulled Xiaomei to his side. But Xiaomei struggled hard and did not follow her.
Uh, Ma Xiaoling felt depressed: I am the real Chiyou bloodline, and these villagers actually believe Xiao Fei, a fake? Not only did she pay homage to him, but the little girl still didn't trust herself.
...
"You people, prepare some fishing boats for us, we want to cross the river!" Xiao Fei ordered proudly with an indifferent expression.
"We have to follow the instructions of our ancestors!" said the village chief, pointing to a villager: "Yang Yizhi, your fishing boat is the largest, donate it to our ancestors to cross the river!"
"It's my honor to contribute something to the ancestors and contribute a little bit to the younger generations!" The villager said excitedly after hearing the words. He looks to be over seventy years old, and he actually claims to be a descendant in front of Xiao Fei.
Of course, Xiao Fei's real seniority is indeed higher than him. After speaking, the old villager immediately went home to fetch the fishing boat.
"Ancestor, the younger generation has one more thing to report." The village head said: "Recently, there is a river god in the Heishui River, so we dare not go fishing. Do you want some young and middle-aged people to follow and help the old ancestor to cross the river? ?”
They looked at Xiao Fei's young age, and felt that even if he was the reincarnation of the ancestor, he might have lost some mana or something.
"Whatever the river god is, I, your ancestor, just subdue him." Xiao Fei said.
"Yes, yes, yes... It's the younger generation who is worrying about nothing. I have offended the ancestors, and I hope to forgive the sin." The village head said in fear. I was thinking in my heart that my ancestor was the god of war back then, even if he was reincarnated, he should be able to beat the god of river.
"Humph!" Xiao Fei snorted coldly, and ignored him.
"Miaojiang woman, take your daughter home." Xiao Fei turned his head and said to the middle-aged woman, "In the future, you must treat her well and make up for your mistakes today! The folks will worship her like a fairy, You don't have to worry about something like this happening again."
"Thank you... old ancestor!" the Miao Jiang woman cried. After speaking, he took the little girl's hand and turned to leave.
When the little girl left, she kept looking back at Xiao Fei, as if she was thinking about it. Now, she doesn't trust her mother, but only Xiao Fei.
My ancestors ever saved me? In my previous life, I was really his servant girl! The little girl thought to herself.
Xiao Fei smiled and nodded at her to show her encouragement.
"You all go away too, and don't tell anyone else what happened to me today. Otherwise, I will punish you!" Xiao Fei said to the villagers again.
"Yes, old ancestor!" The village head agreed respectfully. Then he turned around and waved to the villagers, so everyone packed up the hoes and sickles that fell on the ground, and went home after packing up.
"Boss, why do they all worship you?" Seeing the villagers leaving, Xiao Fei and the others also walked towards the river. With a big boat, they can cross the river. On the way, Da Mater asked strangely.
"Also, why do these people call you the ancestor?" Ma Xiaoling was also a little confused, so it was hard for her to ask because there were too many people just now, but now there are no outsiders, so she asked Xiao Fei, and said: "They and I are all descendants of Chi You, They call you Patriarch, don't I want to call you Patriarch too?"
"My seniority is already countless times higher than yours." Xiao Fei said with a faint smile, "Just now, I became Chi You, God of War, and they immediately knelt down and worshiped when they saw it."
"You changed Chi You's Dharma Body?" Ma Xiaoling said, "Isn't this deceiving people, deceiving the public?"
"If I didn't do this, it would be really hard for these ignorant villagers to surrender." Xiao Fei said, "At first they saw that I saved Xiaomei, and they all came to chase and kill me. After I became their ancestor, they resolved crisis."
"To deal with ignorant people, we can only use extreme means?" Xiao Fei said, "Because they are not worthy of knowing the truth at all."
"That's awe-inspiring, but you're actually taking advantage of others." The fat man said, "I also want to be an ancestor for a while!"
"Get lost!" Ma Xiaoling glared at him. Chi You was also her ancestor at the same time, which made her feel uncomfortable thinking about it.
...
"Listen to me, everyone, gather in the open space!"
Not long after they left, a group of Miaojiang people with long guns suddenly entered the village again. One of them held a gong in his hand and kept ringing it. Another person with the same leader said with a trumpet in his hand.
Hearing the sound, the villager who had just left came out of the room again. It was not long before the villagers assembled again in the clearing.
"Where's the grass ghost in your village?" Seeing the villagers come out, the leader of Miao Jiang asked the village chief.
"She is dead," said the village chief.
"Forget it, since she is dead, then you can organize everyone in the village." The leader of the Miaojiang people seemed indifferent to the death of the grass hag.
Then he picked up the trumpet and said to everyone: "Fathers and elders, this county worships the river god every year, and this year is no exception. The tribute to the river god comes from your village."
Turning to the village chief, he said, "Tomorrow at noon, we will hold a ceremony to worship the river god in the Heishui River. The matter of the boy and girl will be resolved by you."
Worshiping the river god, boys and girls?
Just outside Tianzhu County, there is a huge Heishui River. Every year, an offering ceremony is held in the county, and a pair of boys and girls are given to the river god to eat. The way is to use a boat to carry boys and girls to the middle of the river, tie stones all over their bodies, and then throw them down.
After three days, the parents of the boys and girls will go to a fixed location downstream to salvage their bones and bury them. And what was salvaged were two white bones. Apparently the virgins were actually eaten, not drowned.
The Heishui River really has a river god, and it has penetrated into everyone's hearts. Therefore, worshiping the river god has become a rule here.
