The three of them had a hasty lunch, and there was another round of gongs and drums outside the door, and occasionally a few howls.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, the three of them got up and walked out to the open space at the same time.
There were many more people in the open space than in the morning. The crowds were so dark that it was dazzling to see.
"Isn't that the little girl from my house?"
Gu Qiao pointed at a little girl with twin tails from afar and exclaimed.
"My family there is also here."
As he said that, Qin He hurriedly hid behind Gu Qiao and covered his face tightly, as if he had seen a ghost.
The two of them squirmed forward slowly like a conjoined twin.
"I advise you to get out of my back as soon as possible."
Gu Qiao's voice was low and quietly threatening.
Qin He shook his head violently, quickly grabbed Gu Qiao's clothes and covered his face directly.
It looks particularly funny.
No one would have thought that this man was actually a professor.
"Get out of the way!" Gu Qiao twisted his body, his face full of impatience.
"No!" Qin He insisted: "You don't know how terrifying these two people are! They actually let... forget it,"
"Forget it, then get out!"
Gu Qiao twisted his body as he spoke, and was about to get rid of the sudden "tail". Qin He finally murmured as if giving up:
"They asked me to marry their daughter!"
"..."
"..."
"It's good. Just stay here and have a good time with them."
Gu Qiao threw Qin He away with all his strength.
As soon as he showed his face, the family members seemed to be connected to a signal. Three pairs of eyes stared at this side. After a while, Qin He squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Gu Qiao was relieved and pulled Xi Yu to stand at the end of the line.
There is a high platform in front of the clearing.
A shirtless man stood on a high platform surrounded by several villagers.
Xi Yu suddenly felt that it was like a school leader organizing a meeting in the conference room.
The man wears a hat full of feathers on his head and a brown skirt also full of feathers. He looks like the chief of an African tribe on TV.
But this is not a tribe, it is just a backward village at best.
He has a very high status. When he stands on the stage and raises his hand, he can hear a needle drop to the ground.
As the crowd quieted, the man began to speak.
His voice was so loud that you could hear him clearly even if you were standing at the end of the line.
I just don’t understand.
Jiliguala, it gives people a headache when they hear it.
"Could you understand me?"
Bearing the demonic sound piercing her ears, Xi Yu lifted up Tour Guide 04 in her arms and began to communicate with her thoughts.
"I don't understand, but there is a language translation project that costs 10 billion. Does the customer need to redeem it?"
The man on the stage had just finished uttering the word "yao" when he finally finished speaking, and the villagers standing next to him began to translate:
"The celebration of the River God is about to begin. Thank you for your hard work for the good weather in the coming year. People from other villages are already in place, right here in Beidao. Let us join this team, for the sake of the River God and for the health of the coming year!"
After he finished speaking, the people in the audience jumped like crazy and raised their hands above their heads.
The leader standing in front of the team began to run out of the village, leading a long team, which was extremely spectacular.
"No."
The province should spend its time.
Putting Tour Guide 04 on the ground, Xi Yu started running wildly with the large army.
I've always known it was an island, but I just never had the chance to go out and investigate.
Now that he was free, Xi Yu ran while remembering the route and time.
It takes nearly ten minutes to run from the village to the river.
The road is mostly downhill, so it only takes a little longer to get back to the village.
"Are you sure there is a god in this river?"
Gu Qiao's eyes were full of doubts, and Xi Yu was also a little nervous.
Because of the bonus brought by the word "god", Xi Yu has a natural filter for this river.
Now the filter is broken.
According to legend, the place where the river god lives is not even comparable to Stinking Water Bay.
Before he even got close to the shore, the rotten air rushed straight to his forehead.
Looking around, one imagines that the blue and clear river water is turbid, with a faint green light in between.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
A familiar voice came from behind, Xi Yu turned around and met Jiang Lier's eyes.
The other party was dressed smartly and still had the short knife on his waist.
"The difficulty of this ghost story seems to be higher than before. I was still worried at first, but now that I see you, I am not worried anymore."
Jiang Li'er was really happy, and Li Wan even laughed.
"What a coincidence."
Xi Yu replied calmly, and then returned his gaze to the river.
Rivers are generally not deep.
But for some reason, Xi Yu always had a bottomless feeling when looking at the pool of green in front of her.
It seems that once you fall into this water, you will never get out.
Jiang Li'er, who was treated coldly, didn't feel anything wrong. When he saw Xi Yu staring at the river, he also moved closer to look around.
"There," Jiang Li'er pointed to a dark mass on the edge of the river and said, "It should be the carcass of some animal."
The two quickly approached.
"This is not an animal." Xi Yu said, "This is a human leg bone."
She had seen many dead people when she went to the scene, and had also dealt with the forensic doctor. It happened that the forensic doctor not only had occupational diseases, but also was nagging.
Always analyze with her the phenomena that will occur after death under various circumstances.
Sometimes Xi Yu even realizes that he is not actually a policeman, but an assistant to the person in front of him.
As long as these things are not rotten or too divided, Xi Yu can recognize them at a glance.
At this moment, the leg bones were covered by clothes and did not sink to the bottom, floating endlessly along the river.
Chirping sounds came and went. Xi Yu turned around and saw a group of people wearing feather hats.
They stood on the high platform, gathered in a group, talking and gesticulating, while the people below just watched quietly.
His eyes were pious and awe-inspiring.
It seems that they believe in these people in front of them more than the river god.
When Xi Yu finally found his way, he discovered the darkness on the river bank.
Previously, I only felt that there were enough people in the village, but now there were more than ten times as many people present, and this was simply because Xi Yu could only see so far.
Gu Qiao's face turned dark and he kept pulling on Xi Yu's clothes and winking.
Xi Yu nodded to indicate that he was clear.
They were not wrong.
This is the "accident" of the previous life.
An accident that killed more than half of Hanjiang City.
"I finally found you!" Qin He emerged from the crowd with a manly look on his face: "Don't say I'm not interesting enough. You all sold me out and I'll bring you information back."
"Stop talking nonsense, what's the message?"
Gu Qiao was worried and spoke in a hurry. Fortunately, Qin He didn't pay attention to this. He called the four of them to gather together and whispered:
"The group of people above are the priests of each village. The one in our village has the most feathers on its head. It is the head of these priests. They are also the first to propose offerings and celebrations to the river god."
"There are a total of thirty-six villages on this island. The number of people in each village is uncertain. At present, we only know that because the high priest finds it troublesome, our village has the smallest number of people."
