The townspeople were all excited, including the blind man from earlier.
He was supported by several people, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and was pointing at Ye Lingri and Ye Nums and yelling.
This is a mob, unreasonable.
But they were just ordinary people, Ye Lingri and Ye Nansi couldn't make a move, so they were surrounded, and they were in a dilemma, which delayed the return journey.
An hour ago, Ye Nansi carried the baby and Ye Lingri to the town to replenish supplies.
Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by people as soon as they bought something. It turned out that they were recognized by people.
"It really lingers."
Ye Lingyue frowned.
She was about to step forward when she saw Ye Lingri shout angrily.
"You want a child, right? Take it!"
After finishing speaking, he pushed Ye Nance beside him.
Ye Nansi came back to her senses, looked at the child in the swaddling baby, and had an idea.
"We don't want a child anymore. After saving her, we have been unlucky for a few days. If you want the holy baby, take it."
When everyone heard about the Holy Infant, they looked at the child again and saw the crescent-shaped brand on her neck, and they were all scared away.
"Aren't you her father? You want to use her in exchange for your eyesight recovery, I will give her back to you, and you go pray to the holy river."
Ye Nansi sent the child to the blind man.
As soon as he heard that the child had become a Holy Child, the blind man pushed the child away in fright.
"Take it away, take it away! She is not my child, she is a holy baby, she belongs to the holy river, anyone who touches her will die."
"These people will die if they touch the holy baby. Go away and don't talk to them. Otherwise, Shenghe will blame us."
The mob who were still filled with righteous indignation earlier, seeing this, all scattered like birds and beasts.
"Mumbling, Lingri."
Ye Lingyue stepped forward, Ye Nance was holding the baby, her face was full of excitement.
When the townspeople saw the three of them, they also ran away one after another, as if they had seen the plague.
"Sister, we have already bought enough supplies, and we hired a car...but...about the baby, the coachman who negotiated a good price earlier refused to take us. Now it's troublesome."
Ye Lingri said with a sad face.
"It's okay, let's go to the county government first. I have a letter of recommendation from Immortal Cangmang here. After I have it, I believe that with the help of the government, I should be able to reach Moon Capital and meet Immortal Cangmang."
Ye Lingyue said.
If you want to pass Chi Yuetian, you must first obtain the Heavenly Reaching Order from Chi Yue Immortal Emperor.
But with the recommendation of Immortal Emperor Cangmang, I believe this journey will be much smoother.
Ye Lingyue didn't intend to use the power of the government, but the current situation can't take that much into consideration.
So, the three of them walked towards the county government office in Hedian Town.
Hedian Town is not big, just at the end of the town.
After Ye Lingyue explained her intentions, the old official who received them muttered to several other officials before going to report to the magistrate.
After a while, the magistrate was nowhere to be seen, but only three beast carts were sent, and there was not even a driver on the beast carts.
"Miss Ye, the county magistrate asked us to send a beast cart, you can use it all the way, but you brought the Holy Infant, the influence is very bad. The county magistrate is not good to have more contact with you in order to protect himself, he explained Let me take you out of town. As for the coachman, you have to solve it yourself, we can only help you so much."
The old official said biting his bullet.
"It's unreasonable, let's forget about those foolish people in the town. As parents and officials, your county magistrate is also so foolish. He listens to the saying of the Holy Infant and the Holy River? Don't you be afraid? When we see Immortal Emperor Chiyue, I will tell you shape."
Ye Lingri was dissatisfied.
"Young master, it's useless even if you tell the Immortal Emperor Chiyue, he can't help you. This Chiyue Tianyu has believed in holy rivers since ancient times, even the Immortal Emperor. When Hedian Town was established , was built by the emperor of the previous generation, inside and outside the town, people have believed in the holy river since ancient times."
The old official said patiently.
"Ari, freedom of belief, do as the Romans do, don't embarrass this old man."
Ye Lingyue looked at the old official and smiled.
"Miss Ye is right, it's inconvenient to go out. You seem to be good people, but you don't know the local customs, so... hey, I hope you can survive until the moon capital, maybe the masters of the moon capital can save you .”
Talking to himself, he sent the three of them out of the government.
The animal cart given by the government was very sturdy, and the cart was pulled by a relatively docile celestial beast named Chinu, which looked like a horse, but was taller than a horse. This kind of celestial beast was quite common in the Chiyuetian area.
Of the three animal carts, Ye Numsi drove one, Ye Lingri drove one, and Ye Lingyue also drove one, and she invited the old official to board the cart.
While on the way, Ye Lingyue took the opportunity to chat with the old official.
"Old man, I'm new here, so I don't know much about the local customs. Why do the people of Chiyuetian believe in the Holy River so much? Also, why is Hedian Town called Hedian? I've come all the way, but I haven't seen any temples. ?”
Ye Lingyue put on a conversational tone.
The old official smiled.
"Miss Ye, you are from out of town, so it's not surprising that you don't know. You saw the Huang family using babies as sacrifices a few days ago, and you must have felt that they were cold-blooded and heartless. But you only know one thing and don't know the other. There is no such thing in this world The free banquet, without offerings, the entire Huang family will not be able to eat. It means that several people will starve to death. But if the little one is sacrificed, her father will recover, and her family will be able to eat again. Several brothers can survive. The holy river is very spiritual. If you hadn't interrupted it, only one member of the Huang family would have died. Now it's good, and several people have died."
Ye Lingyue didn't say a word, and she couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong when her life was at stake.
"Whether the Holy River is effective or not, it must be effective. Our Immortal Emperor has tried it and told the world that the Holy River is very effective. Chi Yuetian must respect the Holy River. As for the river palace you mentioned, There used to be a Hedian in Hedian Town, just under the river."
Ye Lingyue was startled when the old official finished speaking.
"Is there really a river palace under the river?"
Seeing the surprised expression of the old official, Ye Lingyue hurriedly changed her words.
"I saw that there was no river palace on the river, so I jokingly told my friends that maybe there is a river palace below the river. After all, Hedian town is an ancient town and it is close to the water. There are many ruins, which may have sunk to the bottom of the river due to a flood."
"Hehe, Miss Ye is not very old, but she has a lot of knowledge. You really guessed it. That's how Hedian Town came to be. Back then, Hedian Town was a small town that didn't even have a name, and there were frequent floods nearby. The commotion made it hard for the people to live, and it was difficult for the six animals to live. One year, there was a flood, and after the water receded, a river temple was discovered at the bottom of the river."
The old official said it vividly, but Ye Lingyue was secretly shocked when he heard it.
It seems that earlier, she wronged that boy A Guang.
