Those years when I was a corpse guard in Yizhuang

Chapter 50 Invite the River God!
In the middle of the ancestral hall, there are the rankings of some patriarchs and elders in the past, the family tree is placed below, and the melon and fruit incense candles are offered on the altar table.

On the ground beside them, two neatly dressed boys and girls in bright red aprons were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, snoring slightly.

"Erya, Little Douzi. My son!"

Seeing the two children she had been thinking about day and night, the woman couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward, hugged the two children in her arms and began to cry softly.

"Mom, are you here to pick us up?"

"Mother, 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. Mother, why don't we live here from now on?" ?”

After hearing what the two children said, the woman became more and more sad. She wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile:

"Mother is here to deliver wontons to you two, hurry up, eat while it's hot."

"Oh, wontons. Mother-made wontons are the best!"

"I want a big bowl!"

"Me too!"

The two children scrambled to start eating. 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 the scene silently.

Li Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at Wang Yu at the side, and said softly:

"Chengyun, when it's time to sacrifice the river god tomorrow, the fate of these two children will depend on you and me, so don't make any mistakes at that time."

Wang Yu said seriously, "Brother Li, don't worry, this matter is on me."

Li Yu didn't say anything more.

The bright moon high in the sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, and when the bright moon appeared again, the two figures outside the window had disappeared.

The Baishui River and Qingshui River both originate from the Dalong River in Fengzhou, and the Dalong River is still just one of the many tributaries of the Longyuan River.

As for the Longyuan River, this river starts from the Tianzhu Mountain in the extreme north, stretches for more than one million miles, and runs through the five states in the northern region with mighty waves.

Although this Baishui River is only a tributary of the Longyuan River, it is still more than [-] meters wide, and the deepest part can reach more than ten feet. There are many kinds of underwater fish, and the number is sufficient. Over the years, it has nourished countless creatures on both sides of the river bank. .

At this time, it was si o'clock in the morning, the weather was clear and the sun was high.

On the banks of the Baishui River.

Here ushered in the activities of offering sacrifices to the river god once every three months.

Many people had already gathered on the entire river beach, and it was a chaotic scene.

Although there were some people dedicated to maintaining order, there were too many spectators, and the voices of scolding were drowned out in the crowd.

"Come here, please the river god!"

Accompanied by an old man, more and more people came out and announced loudly. Immediately, two groups of people started beating gongs and drums, dancing lions and dragons.
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 figure seemed to be startled by the sound, and suddenly swung its tail, kicking up a large swath of mud at the bottom of the river.

Before long, the sound of gongs and drums gradually died down, and the sound of lion dance gradually stopped.

At this time, no matter whether it was the crowd or the respected clan elders standing beside them, they all shut their mouths in unison, tacitly keeping silent.

Both pairs of eyes looked towards the river.

These people seem to be waiting for something.

For a moment, the silence here was terrifying!
Under the gesture of a clan elder, several men led the cows and sheep, and brought three large and small animals to the river, and then cut the necks of the cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock with sharp knives, and the blood was sprayed. was pushed into the river.

As soon as they fell into the water, the cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, fishes and other large and small animals struggled immediately.

However, after struggling for a long time, the figures of these livestock disappeared one by one.

In the drowsy river, a huge black shadow can be vaguely seen looming.

This black shadow is more than two feet long, almost bigger than a serious fishing boat!
Seeing this black shadow, many people stared straight, terrified and backed away.

What's more, they knelt down and kowtowed, took out the incense sticks and lit them, chanting words in their mouths, and kowtowed repeatedly:
"Master River God, bless my daughter-in-law to give me a fat boy this year."

"King Blackhorn, I implore you to bless my family's fishing in the coming year."

"God of the river, the fool Zhang Damin begged to make a fortune this year, and be lucky at the gambling table."

There are all kinds of life, nothing more than this.

"Come on!"

Still the clan elder from just now, standing by the river, his hands trembling slightly, he raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Please boys and girls, worship~he~god~~~~"

The voice was high-pitched and powerful, but it was hard to hide a trace of helplessness and trembling in it.

As soon as the words fell, the crowd parted, and then two men came with two dolls, a man and a woman.

At this time, the boy and girl were tied with red strings and wearing red bellybands, looking quite festive, and their bodies were covered with sesame oil and honey, exuding a strong and strange aroma.

"Ah! Little Douzi!!!"

Among the crowd, a woman squeezed in and wanted to rush over madly, but was stopped by several men.

At this time, the two men holding the red rope had come to the river.

In the river below the two of them, a huge black shadow was silently waiting.

Seeing that 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 act!"

The other man nodded, and the two people's bodies were rippling, and the spiritual light was overflowing, and then their original appearance was revealed.

It was indeed 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 ignored him, Wang Yu quickly made a formula with both hands, and said in his mouth: "Explosive!"

Bang!
Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound from the belly of the black shadow in the water below.

The sound was like thunder.

Then, the black figure trembled violently, struggling violently in the water as if struck by lightning, causing huge splashes.

"Ow—"

A strange voice that sounded like a cow sounded from the bottom of the river, with unconcealable anger and pain in the voice!

The dark shadow under the water floated to the surface of the water at this time, revealing its true face.

It is 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, there is a horny protrusion the size of a washbasin, which looks hideous and terrifying, exuding an air of "don't get close to strangers" terrible breath.

However, at this time, a hole the size of a washbasin appeared on its stomach, and some colorful viscera could be seen inside.

At this time, the wound was bleeding out, and even some minced meat and broken internal organs also flowed out.

Li Yu leaned on the Black Tiger Knife with both hands, looked down at Heiyu condescendingly, and chuckled:
"I don't know what kind of monster it is. It turns out to be a black fish spirit! It seems that it is more difficult to deal with than the weasel last time. But it's ridiculous that a mere black fish spirit dares to call itself the river god!"

"It's just that no matter what kind of monster or river god you are, the taste of a blasting flame talisman exploding in your belly shouldn't be pleasant, right?"
