Chapter 131 The River God Gets Married
Chapter 131 The River God’s Marriage
"Sanwazi, my second uncle knows that you feel uncomfortable, but what can you do? Although Xiaohong is a child relative of you, she is attracted by Lord River God. That is her blessing and her fate. You
But don’t do anything stupid.”
On a rural dirt road, there are some dilapidated houses on both sides, with mud walls and straw straw houses.
Jiang Ge gradually understood part of the situation as he listened to the dark-skinned old farmer in front of him who claimed to be his Second Uncle Liu, wiping his tears and chattering away.
This barren village called Liujia Village was hit by a severe drought, with no rain falling for three years.
They live entirely on the small clear river at the entrance of the village.
But in this year of severe drought, when even the land is almost dry, the Xiaoqing River can keep flowing. Apparently there is a mysterious factor mixed in - the River God!
"Second Uncle, the drought has become like this, hasn't the empire sent anyone to provide disaster relief?"
Jiang Ge noticed that Uncle Liu's feet were worn out by a pair of tattered straw sandals, which were already in disrepair, revealing five toes with deformed fingernails and mud stuck inside.
"Empire, what empire? Sanwazi, you must be a Sandman. It's the Great Moon Dynasty now, and the whole south of the sky is in drought. Those county magistrates are all looking out for themselves. How can they have time to care about our life and death?" Uncle Liu hurriedly said.
He touched Jiang Ge's forehead.
Dayue Dynasty? Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows in his heart. The empire was an empire, but there was never any country title like Dayue.
And although the empire is obsessed with the second mountain and sea attack, and even has a disregard for some barren rural areas, it will never let its citizens even know the name "empire".
"Sanwazi, good boy, you are here. Don't take Xiaohong's matter too seriously."
"The time is coming. Is the bride ready?"
Others also echoed, saying that people in the village will definitely remember their kindness.
"Muramasa, you are all dressed up and waiting for the auspicious time."
They all have sallow faces and thin skin, and their clothes are in tatters, but there is a faint hint of fanaticism in their eyes.
Looking at Jiang Ge who said "No Nuo", Liu Cunzheng was too lazy to say anything more and winked at a few people. Jiang Ge instantly felt that several villagers were surrounding him to prevent him from doing anything to offend the river god.
.
Jiang Ge wanted to ask again, but Uncle Liu had already pulled him to the entrance of the village.
And Jiang Ge finally saw the bride, the so-called Xiao Hong——
Of course, the situation seems to be the same. According to Uncle Liu, Xiaohong is his baby relative, and now she is being sent to the river god. Doesn’t this mean that her wife will die soon? She might even have a little green on her head.
"I really got it right."
A young man with a cunning look said with a smile.
There was a crowd in front, about two hundred people.
Jiang Ge understood the situation a little bit, pretended to be confused, and tentatively asked the questions he was concerned about.
In other words, this fragment of broken world history is very likely to have a completely different trend from the imperial era in which he lived.
Uncle Liu had a worried look on his face and quickly covered Jiang Ge's mouth. After looking around for no one, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Sanwazi, don't talk nonsense. Lord River God is Lord River God, and that's me."
Your second uncle, if the people in the village hear that you have offended Lord River God in this way, your life will be lost! Your stomach will be cut open and presented to Lord River God for enjoyment..."
The white-haired Liu Cunzheng, leaning on a cane and looking majestic, stood in the middle of the crowd and explained something.
"Second uncle, who is Lord River God? I feel like I can't remember many things after sleeping."
"Today's wedding must not go wrong!"
So naturally, "Xiao Hong" became the bride of the River God under his operation.
Marriage, living sacrifice, this river god doesn't seem to be a good idea...
"The auspicious time has come, it's time for the bride to meet the River God!"
Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows.
"Sanwazi, Xiaohong is already the bride of Lord River God. Just give up. I have told you before that Xiaohong is so beautiful. Marrying you is like putting flowers on cow dung. It's fine now.
Being favored by Lord River God is called a good match!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Cunzheng looked at the sun and saw that the auspicious time was approaching, so he turned to everyone and said loudly:
"Today is Lord River God. This month is the wedding day. There is a severe drought in the south. How many people are dying of thirst and starvation? But we people in Liujia Village can still have a mouthful of food and a mouthful of water. What do we rely on?
That depends on the blessing of Lord River God!"
This man is Liu Cunzheng's son, Liu Daqiang.
What he wants to find out now is whether the river god is the Dragon King Jingzhe.
Secondly, if you don’t open up so many fertile lands in the mountains and seas, why are you fighting with some people in the valleys? Those who are willing to leave can immigrate directly and pack them away! Those who are unwilling to leave can just starve and be poor in the mountains.
Accompanied by a cannon blast.
Just kidding! There’s so much free time.
A small dock-like platform has been set up there.
The bride is here.
Four farmers walked over, carrying a dilapidated red sedan chair.
Liu Cunzheng nodded and saw Jiang Ge coming over with a cane. The crowd moved out of the way.
Jiang Ge didn't know how to speak, so he immediately pretended to be sad and aggrieved, and looked at Muramasa, as if his wife was about to die.
Jiang Ge muttered something and wanted to get closer to check, but was surrounded by the surrounding villagers.
After all, the concept of "Empire" is that backward rural areas do not need to be changed. If you join the pioneering corps and gain military exploits, you will naturally get ahead.
A young village girl dressed in red with a red hijab on her head.
He came in from the Dragon King Temple, and immediately met the river god. Could it be that this river god was the Dragon King Awakening of Insects? But if it is true, why does it feel a bit low?
Jiang Ge rolled his eyes inwardly. Who would be happy to have a handsome baby kiss, only to have to become the wife of the River God in the next second with unknown life or death?
And that Xiao Hong? He hasn’t seen Xie Lingchan for so long since he came in. Is that possible?
Listen, is this human talk?
Liu Cunzheng patted Jiang Ge on the shoulder, "It's her blessing that Lord River God likes Xiaohong. Xiaohong is also happy for the whole village to survive."
Jiang Ge glanced at him and didn't bother to talk to him.
It seemed that he had been trying to pry into the corner of his "Three Wazis" a long time ago, but he had been busy for a long time without success.
In the past three years, five brides have been sacrificed in succession, and the marriages of the river gods have become more and more frequent.
Everyone guarded the sedan chair and arrived at the Xiaoqing River not far away.
Suona and gongs and drums were played to send off the bride.
Red lanterns were hung on both sides.
As for transforming deserts and barren land?
Then we encountered the marriage of the River God.
Thanks Lingchan!
Although she was covered with a "shell" like him, Jiang Ge still recognized the identity of the bride through the induction in the mirror.
Liu Daqiang complained for a while and snorted coldly.
Then, an old woman dressed extremely festively opened the sedan curtain and shouted in a high-pitched voice.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted.
"Lord River God is here!"
On the surface of the river, strange water ripples suddenly appeared.
It's like another huge thing has risen from the bottom of the river!
Chapter completed!
