The convoy was eventually arranged in a larger yard. It was usually used to load and unload goods and firewood, but now it has temporarily settled because the place is big enough.

On the other hand, the village chief had asked someone to prepare several banquets to warmly entertain these generous guests. I just don’t know if the taste is different. Although the dishes on the table look quite good on the surface, once the entrance is filled with a fishy and salty smell, mixed with a smell of soil, which makes it hard to swallow.

At least Du Bai couldn't eat it, so he quietly put down his chopsticks, thinking that it would be better to wait and go back and eat the dry food brought by his convoy.

I glanced at Su Wanmiao at the corner of my eyes. Sure enough, I saw her frowning slightly and then stretched out, and put down the chopsticks quietly, without any dissatisfaction on my face.

She has been working in the business world for a long time, and she is indeed very good at dealing with people. After spending some money, she added two more banquets and asked the village chief to take a few other young men from the village who had come to help before to sit down for a meal. Sure enough, she eliminated the hostility in the other party's previous eyes, and her original tough attitude softened a lot.

"You are so kind!" The slightly fat village chief laughed and ate a few chopsticks. He thought it was difficult for Du Bai and others to get a hard time. He carefully picked up the wine glass and drank the wine from the city brought by the Su family motorcade. A shimmer flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes, and he said in surprise, "Good wine and good wine!"

The other young men were also amazed.

In remote villages, they have only drunk their own homemade local wine and are as light as mud. This mellow wine taste has been a long time since.

After a bowl of wine is in his stomach, the conversation begins.

After the conversation was familiar, Du Bai asked casually about the sacrifices a few days ago at the dinner table, but saw that the originally warm atmosphere suddenly became cold. The village chief and several young people were worried, and the wine in their hands became more boring.

When it comes to this sacrifice, it suddenly appeared on a night decades ago.

That night, a figure emitting golden light appeared in the dream of all the villagers, making them have to offer a pure virgin every three years from today, otherwise disasters will surely be caused!

The villagers naturally didn't believe it at first, and the witch in the village also said that there were evil spirits who wanted to harm others, so they set up the altar to do it.

We were in peace all night.

Unexpectedly, after this, strange things happened in the village, and a plague spread and many people died.

The frightened villagers hurriedly offered a virgin, and the disaster gradually ended.

In this way, this custom has lasted for more than 60 years. This village has also declined from its former liveliness to its current appearance.

"When it comes to the sacrifices a few days ago, we have actually chosen people and planned to sacrifice according to the ancient rituals. Who knows that my unfilial son..." The village chief slapped the table with a look of hating him, and his round face turned slightly red due to wine or anger.

"That unfilial son had an affair with the woman, and could not bear to see her being sacrificed, so he found a Taoist priest from outside and secretly took her into the village, saying that he wanted to kill demons and eliminate demons..."

"What happened later?" Du Bai asked curiously with a wine glass.

To the village chief, the Taoist priest may have some tricks and hid in the dark without hesitation. After the ceremony began, a huge black shadow appeared in the river and slashed it with a sword!

In an instant, the dirty and turbid black mucus burst, as if the rotten meat was shattered on the shore!

The festival that night was destroyed, and the girl survived, hugged and cried with the village chief's son, hoping to thank the Taoist priest who helped, but saw the old Taoist leaving with his back on his back, looking like a chivalrous demeanor.

If things can end here, it may be a good ending. Suwon Village can also get rid of this terrible curse and be reborn.

However, the next day, the villagers who were getting up early and planning to sail with a layer of mist were accidentally discovered by a slightly familiar back standing on the shore. The fog was a little too big and I couldn't see clearly. I thought it was a fisherman who was earlier than me who was preparing to go into the water.

When I got closer, I was shocked. It turned out to be the old Taoist priest last night!

But at this time, he was no longer as handsome as a chivalrous as before. His legs were strangely twisted and kneeled among the gravels. His whole body was already swollen and smelly by the river. His waist, legs, and arms were wrapped around his waist, legs, and arms. His eyes were probably swallowed by fish and left only two black holes. His death was terrible.

And the direction where the old Taoist corpse was kneeling was the direction where he swung his sword to kill the river god last night!

After that, the village was full of strange things. The family of three who stayed overnight a few days ago were found drowned in their own bed. They were wet all over, as if they had just been fished out of the water, strange and inexplicable.

And there is still no sign of stopping. Just last night, another family suffered...

"hiss!"

Du Bai subconsciously shivered and had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the River God.

At this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and a young man in front of him shook his body slightly and his lips turned white: "Is it the River God that got angry again?"

"It's just thunder."

Du Bai looked at the sky outside the window, as gloomy as his heart was now.

The raindrops as big as beans kept falling down, and the slight water stains hit the window ridge, which made him feel even worse.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it will not stop for a while. And if the rain falls longer, it is hard to say whether it will cause natural disasters such as mountain torrents or landslides. At that time, they may have to stay in this unfortunate village for longer.

Just as he was in deep thought, a villager wearing a straw hat came trotting outside the door, came in and attached himself to the village chief's ear and whispered a few words, but saw his expression slightly change, he stood up anxiously and said, "I'm sorry, all the guests, the dog is making trouble again, I have to go and discipline..."

After saying that, he hurried out, leaving Du Bai with only a loving son but full of fatigue.

He raised his glass and took a sip. A guard behind him stepped forward and took two steps to remind him softly: "Son-in-law, I think this place may be a bit weird. Why don't you go and talk to the lady and let's leave earlier..."

Du Bai nodded slightly, but the heavy rain was pouring, and it would not be too early to think about it.

After the village chief and his friends left, the village seemed to be quiet except for this courtyard. There were only sparse sounds of rain outside, and the sporadic barking of dogs disappeared completely and disappeared.

The sky was gloomy until night fell, and the falling rain never stopped. Small puddles had accumulated in the low courtyard. If the manger had not been slightly higher, they would not have been attacked by rain, they would have considered whether to change places.
