An even more angry voice interrupted his words, and the aunt shouted angrily, and added: "Although I haven't seen it, someone has seen it!" She turned her eyes and suddenly saw a man in a suit under the eaves not far away. Manman in the red coat was standing there timidly, looking here cautiously.

She immediately waved her hand: "Manman, come here quickly. Have you met He Bo? Tell them about it!" Then she looked at the two of them proudly, mainly at Lu Yiyu: "We, Manman, are real people. A child who has met He Bo and been blessed by He Bo.

" Yan Weilou, who had been sitting quietly next to him, slowly raised his head and looked at her lightly: "...He Bo's blessing? Can you elaborate? " His eyes were dull, with a faint smile on his face, and his tone was very calm, but there was a feeling that no one could refuse.

The originally proud aunt subconsciously restrained herself due to an inexplicable intuition.

She grabbed Manman who was running over and said with a smile: "He Bo's blessing is the most important event every year..." The tradition of worshiping He Bo near Xiaoye Village has a long history, which is similar to the custom of worshiping gods in other places. different.

Generally, the sacrifices to the gods are livestock, but the sacrifices in Xiaoye Village are boys and girls under the age of seven.

It is said that there is a mirror blessed by He Bo in the village ancestral hall. Every year, children of the appropriate age are brought in to take a look. Which child has the brightest light will be the sacrifice chosen by He Bo - He Bo only likes nature. A simple child, and only the child he likes the most, can welcome He Bo and bless the village's prosperity in the coming year.

In fact, the villagers did not call these children sacrifices. They regarded them as messengers, bringing the villagers' devout faith in Hebo and bringing back Hebo's blessings.

On the day of the sacrifice, the villagers put the selected children on boats and sent them along the river to Hebo.

After three to five days, these children will be sent back down the river by boat, and He Bo will be welcomed into various villages - but they are invisible to mortal eyes.

A period of time, as little as half a month, as much as a year and a half will be enough.

The villagers believe that the more favored He Bo is and the longer a child stays with He Bo, the longer he will need to recuperate after returning.

——And this is the so-called blessing from He Bo.

As she narrated, Yan Weilou's expression did not change much, but Lu Yiyu's expression became increasingly ugly.

He vaguely sensed something was wrong.

...In such deep mountains and wild ridges, if a boatload of children who are unable to protect themselves are sent into the river, they will most likely be eaten by wild animals or drowned in the river.

But they can come back every year without incident, if there is no one behind this.

Lu Yiyu never believed it.

I saw that his face was solemn and thoughtful.

The aunt thought that this foreigner finally understood how to be awe and how powerful He Bo was, and her face showed a radiant glow.

Then he pushed the little girl in his arms and said in a showy tone: "Manman, come and talk to this young master.

Didn’t you go visit He Bo last year? "The little girl who was suddenly pushed out by her trembled and opened her mouth timidly: "He, He Bo..." The aunt pushed her again impatiently: "You little girl, you are still afraid that you will not survive.

Please tell me about the blessing given by He Bo last year. Master He Bo could not be more compassionate..." "I, I don't know.

"The little girl no longer behaved as before, and said timidly, "We floated along the river and entered a big dark hole, and everyone fell asleep together.

When we woke up, the boat had reappeared on the river, floating, and we were back in the village..." "That's all? What else? "The aunt looked at the little girl expectantly.

In fact, I was as curious as a cat scratching its paws.

According to the rules of the village, women cannot enter the ancestral hall.

Therefore, she had no idea how the children were selected in the ancestral hall every year and where they went after getting on the ship.

In the past, the old village chief would not let people inquire randomly.

Taking advantage of this foreign young master to ask her questions today happened to satisfy her curiosity.

It's a pity that the little girl shivered for a long time and didn't say anything.

No matter how she asked, she would just come back with a few unclear words, "I don't know, I don't remember..." but it made her so angry! ...What a silly girl! The aunt, who felt that she was bored, glared at the little girl angrily, then picked up the piece of silver in her hand, picked up the medicine jar again, and left.

Yan Weilou looked at the little girl's pale face thoughtfully and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of He Bo?" The little girl's face turned even paler. She took a step back and shook her head desperately: "I, I'm not afraid. , my grandma said, He Bo is a good god, it is he who protects us with fish to eat and clothing to wear.

" Yan Weilou asked again: "If you are not afraid, then why are your legs shaking? "The little girl immediately lowered her head to look at her legs, only to find that her legs were standing on the same spot, not shaking at all.

Instead, he was a little stiff due to fear.

"...?" She looked confused.

At this time, the young man's lazily voice came to his ears: "I lied to you.

"The little girl raised her head blankly, and met the young man's dark and calm eyes. The corner of his mouth slowly raised a smile, which looked very hateful in the little girl's eyes: "So, my guess is right.

You are afraid of He Bo.

" Lu Yiyu next to him couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Yan, you..." You are bullying a child too much.

Yan Weilou raised his hand to interrupt him, with a smile on his face: "I'm just a little curious, what is the so-called blessing from He Bo?" As he said that, Yan Weilou suddenly put down his wine glass and glanced at the little girl Xuebai. On his face, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You must know something.

" Manman, whose face was already as white as snow, couldn't help but shudder. This extremely good-looking big brother clearly had a gentle smile, but his eyes were so cold and scary.

Her eyes turned red and she cried "Wow".

Chapter 74 Sigh of Life (8) The night was dark and windy, and in the small courtyard shrouded in darkness, the cry of the little girl was echoing.

As for the two people in front of her, one looked confused and seemed to have not yet reacted.

The other one is calm and calm, as if he doesn't see anything.

...It looks really cold and heartless.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." the little girl said with sobs, "I just lied.

"It's not that I don't remember anything."

After entering the cave, everyone fell asleep, and I woke up..." Manman carefully described what he saw at that time, with fear still in his eyes.

...At that time, she and other children on the same boat fainted, but they woke up midway.

Immediately afterwards, she saw her friends on the same ship being transferred into coffin-like boxes and being taken away by several people wearing strange clothes.

However, she only woke up for a short time and passed out again.

For this little girl, the strange scene she saw in the cave that night was enough to scare her to this day and make her unforgettable.

But she didn't dare to tell anyone.

“Woooo…Manman is wrong.

Grandma said that He Bo is a good god who protects everyone... Manman shouldn't say bad things behind her back, I am a bad boy..." Before she could finish her words, a figure had already flashed in front of her, with a gentle but gentle voice. There is no doubt: “Don’t cry.

"The instinct like a small animal made the little girl stop talking immediately, and she burped in shock, with tears still hanging on her face.

She looked at Yan Weilou with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Lu Yiyu couldn't bear it: "Brother Yan, why should you criticize a child so harshly!" Yan Weilou did not answer, but glanced deeply at the little girl, then reached out and grabbed her wrist, and injected a trace of blood into her meridians. Infuriated.
