The pear blossoms fall to the stars

Chapter 72 The Living Sacrifice
"Everyone, don't listen to her, grab that child!" It was still the same person who gave orders before.

When Xiao Yemosheng heard this, he became energetic all of a sudden, hid behind Xingchen, and hugged Xingchen's leg tightly.

Seeing that those people were about to charge up again, Jiang Ying and the others quickly pulled out their swords.Suddenly, the crowd fell silent, and no one dared to move.How dare they fight with cold weapons with bare hands.

While those people were quiet, Li Hualuo asked, "I don't know why you want to arrest a child?"

"Yesterday we saw you rescued that child. You shouldn't have saved the person the water god wants!" The crowd began to roar.

Immediately, someone kept agreeing: "It shouldn't be saved!"

Lihualuo immediately understood the reason.

The ancients were a bit ignorant and ignorant, but it was also because of the feudal thinking behind the times.Lihualuo did not give up the survival of the entire Hanshui and all the people who can continue to live in Hanshui in the future.

Only said: "Why not save?"

Her words were a bit blunt. After all, in her opinion, even if the ancients were ignorant, they could not sacrifice a child's life to their so-called gods.It is estimated that this level can no longer be described as ignorance. It can be said that people are completely inhumane in the case of self-protection and interests.

What's more, the thing of God is completely imagined by themselves, and no one can prove whether it really exists.

Seeing that no one dared to answer Li Hualuo's question, the person who spoke before stood up and said, "He is the one named by the water god to bring down the Han River, and you saved her, otherwise how could the water spread so fast?" ? There has never been such a big flood in the Hanshui boundary!"

"Yes! If the water doesn't recede, I'm afraid all the grain in our Hanshui area will not be harvested this year!"

"Our house can't stand the flood anymore!"

……

Under such turmoil, the person who spoke in the lead interrupted: "Everyone, pull him out as a living sacrifice, or the water god will punish us!"

His words were really effective. Many people's eyes were bloodshot, and they began to congest like crazy.Fortunately, the door is relatively narrow, and it can be blocked for a while.

Li Hualuo looked at the leader coldly, and he was so terrified that he shrank his neck.

What a living sacrifice!Li Hualuo looked at the group of people who had no opinion at all, one person booing and mobilizing everyone, it was really passive.

"If the water god is really a god, how can he hurt the innocent? Everyone, calm down, he is just a child." Xing Chen hugged Xiao Yemosheng tightly, fearing that this group of aggressive people would mess around.

After hearing Xing Chen's words, everyone fell silent, and many people felt a little helpless in their eyes.

This sentence completely calmed their restlessness.

Zi Lixuan also stood up and said in agreement: "He is right, if a child is sacrificed alive, if the water has not receded, wouldn't it be the same as killing a person? It is still a child!"

That few words were also buried in one sentence.

Li Hualuo walked to Zi Lixuan's side and said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to wait for the rain to stop before implementing countermeasures, but now it seems that it has to be earlier."

"Miss Luo is referring to water control?"

Li Hualuo nodded slightly, and was about to explain to everyone.

At this time, a man in a coir raincoat seemed to have just run back from the rain, and said with a panicked expression: "It's bad! The water is rising again!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone couldn't keep their peace of mind, and they all crowded into the room noisy together.But Jiang Ying and the others didn't dare to fight, so they could only stop them temporarily.

Li Hualuo knew that violence should never be used against these civilians.In their world, it is not enough to use force, but you can try to use reason.

"Everyone listen to me..." Li Hualuo raised her voice a little.

However, this time, the person who took the lead in speaking did not give her this opportunity at all, and only said: "Everyone, don't listen to her!"

A large group of refugees rushed in instantly, and there was no chance for Li Hualuo to reason.And their goals were all heading towards Xiao Yemosheng.

"Everyone, don't be impulsive, he's just a child!" Xing Chen tried his best to protect him in his arms.

Although they didn't have cold weapons in their hands, many of them held sticks and beat Xingchen one by one.

"Luo'er!" Jiang Ying watched Xing Chen being beaten, and Li Hualuo frowned again, feeling uncomfortable along with her.This roar signaled that she could make a decision as soon as possible.

Lihualuo was really angry, and with a wave of her hand, those people with sticks were thrown away.They fell on the wall and groaned, and the others all took a few steps back in fear.

Li Hualuo grabbed the leader: "Tell me, who ordered you!"

The majestic breath froze the people around.

Li Hualuo looked into his eyes with such eyes, which made him tremble for a while.

When she was saving people yesterday, she was fine, but when she came to this water temple, she felt strange.The leader who spoke seemed to have a certain purpose in speaking, otherwise how could he be the only one who was so tricky.

But it was Li Hualuo's impulsive move that angered everyone even more.Many people yelled, "Let him go!"

As he said that, he took a stick and hit Lihualuo.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and didn't fight back, but those sticks didn't hit her.Looking up at the stars, she was very moved, and her slightly cold heart was instantly warmed up.

Zi Lixuan also happened to rush over, signaling her not to be impulsive.

"Sister Luo, save me!" Xiao Yemo's voice came with a little milk and fear.

Lihualuo couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the person in his hand aside heavily.She never thought of killing someone, but at this moment, her eyes were already full of murderous intent.

With one stride, she knocked down all the people who were pulling Xiao Yemosheng to the ground.

"Are you really not letting go of even a single child? Let me ask you, the hearts of parents all over the world, his parents are also waiting for him to come home. Parents who are born, hair, skin, and skin, have you asked his parents before sacrificing him?" ?" Li Hualuo yelled at them, and Xiao Yemosheng hid tightly in Li Hualuo's arms.

Everyone bowed their heads in silence.

Taking the opportunity, Zi Lixuan explained the purpose of coming this time: "Everyone, we are people from the imperial court who came from Yucheng. The emperor approved us to come to rescue the disaster and solve the problem. Cooperate."

"It turns out that he is a member of the imperial court, what an offense!"

"After waiting for so many years, someone finally came to rescue the disaster! You guys, what an offense!"

Someone admitted his mistake.

However, many people were even more angry: "The imperial court! The imperial court doesn't care about our Hanshui people's life or death!"

"For so many years, how much we Hanshui people have paid for the military rations in southern Xinjiang! But what about the imperial court! We don't care about disasters!"

"The last few groups of people came here in the name of disaster relief, but they turned out to be corrupt officials with no merit. I think you are the same as them!"

Zi Lixuan saw everyone's complaints in his eyes, and those words were branded in his heart.He finally knew why Lihualuo wanted him to insist on going south at this juncture.

The imperial court asked them too much, but gave them very little.
