One of the two girls is Aunt Zhang!
Ning Huanxin really didn't expect it, but soon, Ning Huanxin focused all her eyes on the other girl's face.
If that girl is really Aunt Zhang, then could the person next to Aunt Zhang be... the woman in the grave
At this time, Ning Huanxin walked forward again, wanting to get a closer look at the woman's appearance.
Suddenly Jiang Lixing pulled her hard: "Ning Huanxin, what are you doing? There is something wrong with the river water, let's leave quickly!"
Obviously, Jiang Lixing couldn't see what Ning Huanxin saw.
If this is not a dream...
What you see is the past? Or is it the appearance of the undead
For the first time in his life, Ning Huanxin saw a ghost outside of dreams and with a clear mind.
She turned her head and made a silencing gesture towards Jiang Lixing.
Stop talking and look, the ceremony has begun!
At this time, countless villagers in black robes began to mutter around the two girls. The sky became darker and darker, and it became completely dark. The villagers lit countless candles around them, leaving only two girls. girl.
Under the night, the river was glowing with cold light, and the two girls were still holding hands.
"Cousin, I'm a little scared."
At this time, the girl who was very similar to Aunt Zhang finally spoke slowly, her voice was pleasant, but it also had a nervous vibrato.
"Don't be afraid, Shu'er."
The other girl looked very calm: "The river god is all a lie. We must just be patient tonight and stay here all night. Everything will be over at dawn tomorrow."
"cousin?"
Hearing the words of another girl, the young Zhang Yunshu could not help but widen his eyes in panic: "Cousin, please keep your voice down, if the River God hears it, he will be angry! By then... what if, what if he eats it? What should we do?"
"Shu'er, you are so naive."
Another girl saw that Zhang Yunshu was scared like a frightened rabbit, so she couldn't help but smile and gently held Zhang Yunshu's head, letting her lean into her arms.
When the moon was at its zenith, the two girls were just like what Ning Huanxin saw in the reflection on the river that day. They took off their robes and then soaked in the river naked.
This is like an ancient sacrificial method. It does not really mean drowning these girls in the river. It just allows them to use their pure bodies to pray sincerely in the water, transmitting the power of the villagers' faith to the people they have always believed in. of gods.
Compared with those traditions that often sacrifice human lives, this method does not seem so unacceptable.
only…
Ning Huanxin watched the two petite figures soaking in the river. The night was getting brighter little by little. Soon, the sky was bright again, but the girl in the water suddenly fainted -
"Cousin! Cousin! What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yunshu screamed in panic. Her scream finally called the person in charge of the night watch not far away. The villages in this era were all conservative and simple, and the night watchmen were also strong women in the village. They quickly The unconscious girl was helped to the shore and put on clothes. The strongest person carried her to the village.
Village
Ning Huanxin subconsciously looked to the northwest, where there was a quiet and peaceful village with misty smoke.
"Shu'er, go back to Zhangjiacun, your cousin is under our watch!"
At this time, Zhang Yunshu, who had already put on his clothes, wanted to follow those people, but was stopped by others.
