At clan leader Shi's house, Xiao Chen, sang and Mo Xiaowan had dinner with clan leader Shi's family.
Xiao Chen looked at chief Shi and said, "chief Shi, I also want to make a sacrifice by the river tonight."
"Mr. Xiao, do you want to put the boy and girl into the water?"
"Of course not. I won't do those things that break the law. Moreover, I can't do those cruel things." In Xiao Chen's opinion, the so-called sacrifice is very cruel and disgraceful. No matter how many years have passed, future generations will feel afraid and shameful when they mention it.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you want?"
"Clan leader Shi, prepare a pig, a sheep and two cocks for me."
There are pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs in Miao village.
"Mr. Xiao, do you want to live?"
"To live."
If animals are used to replace people, in the opinion of clan leader Shi, it's nothing. Anyway, it's normal to eat the meat of these animals now.
When clan leader Shi arranged it, sang and Mo Xiaowan didn't know what Xiao Chen was going to do.
At more than eight o'clock in the evening, clan leader Shi was ready.
He bought a pig, a goat and two cocks from the villagers.
Then they all took them to the riverside where the three children had an accident today.
Now the women and children in Miao Village dare not come to see it. However, many bold adults and old people come to see it. They just heard that this young man surnamed Xiao is the big disciple of the leader of Jiuli sect. They heard that he has excellent magic and medicine. Moreover, when he came, he saved three children who were almost pulled into the water by water ghosts.
When these things are ready.
Xiao Chen asked clan leader Shi to bring over the thick hemp rope in the village.
This kind of hemp rope is very thick and pricked. Even if it is used for tug of war, it will not break.
Xiao Chen took out the yellow paper again and folded two small paper people respectively. The two small paper people were thrown into the water by the river.
After all these were ready, Xiao Chen first tied the pig to the hemp rope. When the pig shouted, it had been slowly hoisted into the water.
At the beginning, the little pig struggled in the water. We can see how miserable those sacrificed boys and girls were. Now they are just little pigs, and many people dare not see them.
If it was the sacrifice of boys and girls in those years, one can imagine how sad the families of those children were, especially the children's mothers, how could they withstand such a blow?
When Xiao Chen put the little pig into the water, he struggled for a while, and then he could slowly feel that the little pig had been drowned in the water.
At night, you can only see the moonlight and stars above your head, but when the moonlight shines on the river, you can't see what's in the river.
Many old people and other adults watched there, expecting miracles to be discovered.
However, they were curious that the young disciple of jiulimen could really lead the water ghost out like this.
If that's true, I'm afraid our ancestors caught the water ghost long ago. In fact, they didn't.
I don't know how long it took. Xiao Chen suddenly felt his hand sink. Is there really something eating the pig? Unexpectedly, when Xiao Chen looked at it, he found that it was just some big fish.
Just now, when the pig was struggling and bleeding out, it had attracted the big fish in the river.
Now the big fish are eating the pig there.
This little pig is at most ten kilograms, that is, the roast suckling pig that people like to eat. It is made of this kind of little pig.
When Xiao Chen pulled up the little pig, he found that it had been eaten a lot. The pig was already incomplete.
Those Miao village villagers didn't seem surprised when they saw it. They had long known that there were many big fish in the river besides water ghosts.
It may be because of the existence of the water ghost that many villagers dare not go into the water to catch fish or fish. That is, some children don't know and don't care about it, so they go to the river to take a bath and touch snails.
"Mr. Xiao, it seems useless?" Said one of the sons of clan chief Shi.
"I want to see what's in the river."
In addition to these big fish, Xiao Chen also wanted to see what the river had eaten so many people. He really wanted to see what it was.
Of course, if the water ghost really exists, in Xiao Chen's opinion, it would be good.
This pig has been gnawed off a lot. Xiao Chen tied the goat down again.
Soon, the goat was about the same as before.
Xiao Chen still didn't see anything, so he tied the hemp rope to the big stone by the river, and then he sat aside.
Now the villagers of Dongjiang Miao village are watching. I don't know whether they want to see the excitement or jokes.
Xiao Chen ignored the mentality of the villagers, and sang and Mo Xiaowan knew that Xiao Chen was much more powerful than they thought. From their understanding of Xiao Chen, they knew that if Xiao Chen was not sure, he would not do such a thing.
"Sister Xiao Wan, are you afraid?"
"I was afraid, but I'm not afraid to see you here."
It seems that Mo Xiaowan is most afraid of seeing the ghost marriage of those paper people this morning.
"Do you believe there are really water ghosts?"
"I don't think so." Mo Xiaowan said.
"Why?" Xiao Chen said.
"Because no one has ever seen a real water ghost."
However, sang believes in water ghosts.
Xiao Chen knows that the so-called water ghosts mentioned by the Miao village villagers should not be the real water ghosts they imagined, that is to say, this kind of thing is likely to be something else.
Even, probably people.
Xiao Chen guessed that because he had seen too many things.
"Then you can watch the fun here. If I don't solve this problem and give an explanation to the Miao village villagers, I won't leave."
I don't know how long later, I suddenly saw that the hemp rope tied to the big stone actually moved. Moreover, it looked very strong. Xiao Chen hurried over and saw something pulling the dead goat in the water.
"Xiao Chen, what the hell is that pulling?" Mo Xiaowan asked.
"Let me see."
Xiao Chen looked carefully. With his naked eye, he must not see very clearly in this night. However, if he looked through it with perspective eyes, it would be different. No matter how dark it was, he could see it.
Sure enough, Xiao Chen did see something furry pulling the goat.
It was in the water and didn't float.
"There's something. It should be hooked. I want to go into the water." Xiao Chen said.
"Xiao Chen, be careful." Sang and Mo Xiaowan are worried.
When Xiao Chen took off his clothes and other Miao villagers looked over, Xiao Chen, who was only wearing underpants, stood directly by the river, and then jumped into the water.
