Actor Jiang, Madam is going to exorcise demons again

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Ten Years of Life and Death (19)

"My name is Zhang Yunshu. I was born in Zhangjia Village since I was a child. Zhangjia Village is isolated from the outside world. It has existed in this valley for more than 100 years."

Zhang Yunshu told the story from the beginning bit by bit.

Everything starts with that river.

This is a magical river, even in dry weather, the river will not dry up, and the villagers of Zhangjia Village and Lijia Village on both sides of the river live happily and peacefully by relying on this magical river water.

Everyone believed that a god lived in this river, and this god would always bless them.

There are many legends about the river god in the village, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the river god has been handed down many years ago.

In fact, the way of offering sacrifices is very simple. Every year, the two villages will select pure women with outstanding age and good looks, and let them bathe and pray in the river water, expressing the respect of all villagers to the river god, and praying for a good harvest that year.

This custom has lasted for a hundred years, and people in the two villages firmly believe in it.

Until that year——

"That year, my cousin and I were selected as goddesses to worship the God of the River. I was only 16 years old at the time, and my cousin Li Yan was 17 years old. My cousin was the most beautiful in their village, and because my cousin was chosen as a goddess, people in Lijia Village respected her very much. There was a long queue of people who proposed marriage. Goddess means that she is the most outstanding and beautiful among her peers. All the goddesses in history will marry well and live comfortably for the rest of their lives. In fact, at that time... My father is engaged, of course, as long as she is a pure virgin, the engagement will not affect our sacrificial ceremony that year, but for some reason, my cousin rejected the marriage proposals from everyone in the village. At that time, everyone thought she had good eyesight, and I also thought that my cousin had never found someone I liked, who knows..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yunshu's expression was very painful and tangled: "On the day of the sacrifice, everything was going well and smoothly, but just before dawn, my cousin suddenly passed out, and she was taken away by people from Lijia Village. Later, someone asked a doctor to see her cousin. Only then did everyone know that my cousin was not sick, but she was happy!"

A daughter of Yunying, who was chosen as a goddess, is actually happy?
Isn't this deceiving the gods?

Moreover, this kind of unmarried pregnancy was absolutely not allowed to happen in the Li family village at that time.

"At that time, my aunt and uncle begged hard, but the patriarch of Lijia Village still decided to sink his sister into the bottom of the river. Firstly, he wanted to preserve the reputation of Lijiacun, and secondly, he wanted to make amends to the God of the River!"

While talking, Zhang Yunshu suddenly laughed: "Miss Ning, you must think we are stupid, right? In fact, at that time, I also thought that the people in Lijia Village were crazy, and they were completely unreasonable. They said that my cousin had blasphemed the gods and that her body was unclean, so they forced her to fast and bathe for seven days, and then buried her body after seven days. At that time, my cousin was under strict surveillance, and no one could get close to her. Allow me to have a few words with her outside the door. I was still young at the time, and when things got messed up, I would just keep crying and keep asking her who that man was. But my cousin just didn’t say anything, no matter who asked her, she would not say a word about that man.”
