——Fengnan Famous Ballad
——
The crying "monster" in front of me was all black, and even his clothes were the color of dirty sewage, mixed with impurities. He covered his eyes with his hands, and tears flowed down his cheeks and fell on his curled thighs. Even the tears were black and ink.
He kept chanting one, two, three...
The following content was vague, and his speech gradually became slurred.
I looked closer and saw that his calf was pierced by a sharp thorn extending from the ground. The wound has suppurated, and there are some white maggots just above the wound. It was so densely packed that it really made me feel sick and sick.
"Today is the last day."
"Yes, I hope Master He Yao won't be impatient to wait."
It was the voices of two people, one young and one old.
I used magic to hide myself.
As expected, two people dressed in ordinary clothes, an old man and a young man, came over.
Dressed in coarse cloth and covered with a face scarf, he seemed to be from the countryside. The youngest of them was holding a hoe, and the older one was holding a roll of straw mat and walked towards the "monster".
I see that the old and the young here have already adapted to the fishy smell around them. He also took off his face towel.
One, two...
"Du'er! It's time for us to leave!"
"ah!!!!!"
The old man spoke slowly, and the "monster" screamed hysterically.
The person who made the least noise went over and knocked the "monster" unconscious with a hoe.
"Master, hurry up! Master He Yao can't wait!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and carry her onto the straw mat."
I saw the old man and the young man starting to get busy.
The young man took a hoe and smashed the spikes on the ground, and got out the "monster's" feet.
"Evil!! These bugs are really disgusting. There are so many bugs in just 50 days. Lord He Yao must want her blood!"
The young man said it easily, but the old man sighed.
"Oh~ I just hope that this kind of thing will end soon. Don't hurt innocent girls anymore!"
The old man said so little that he didn't like to hear it.
"Look at you, you are doing something immoral here, but this old mouth is quite good at accumulating virtue. If Master He Yao hears these words, it will take a skinny body like yours."
"Oh, don't mention it. Give this child to Master He Yao as soon as possible."
An old man and a young man were about to leave carrying the straw mat.
I followed from behind.
I saw the two of them arrived at the foot of the cliff and were walking towards the Stinky Water River.
It turns out that the "monster" they were carrying was a woman!
What exactly is Master He Yao they are talking about?
I had doubts and followed him.
Even though the old man is hunched over, his strength here is no less than that of the young man.
The old one in front was lifting the "monster's" feet, and the young one in the back was lifting the upper body wrapped in a straw mat.
Staggeringly, we came to the smelly water river.
There were already many people standing by the Stinky Water River. Most of them were men and there were a few old women with hooked backs. They are wearing uniform costumes and wearing masks. What kind of ceremony is this?
It can't be something old-fashioned like offering sacrifices to the river god...
When those people saw the young and old arriving, they stepped forward to greet them. Gradually, the crowd dispersed and stood in two rows to clear the way. It looked like an old man and a young man were going to a temporary altar set up by the river.
The color of the altar was the same as that of this group of people, making it look very mysterious. Sacrificial food had been prepared on it.
An old man and a young man put the "monster" on the altar, and the dark appearance of a woman was revealed on the straw mat.
My poor Du'er...
I hope that after sacrificing her, Master He Yao will stop asking for anything else. There are no more female babies in the village...
Hurry up and end it, my land hasn't been watered yet...
The expressions of the people around him did not change, but their hearts were different.
Now I can understand that the name of this "monster" is Du'er, a girl who is not yet fifteen years old...
The old man and the young man put their clothes aside and put on the uniform clothes.
Then everyone gathered around. One by one, they knelt down under the altar and lowered their heads.
It was eerily quiet for a moment. I could hear everyone's nervous breathing.
Crash--gud--
Gradually, the stinking river surged fiercely.
Then it suddenly overflowed onto the shore and retreated again.
Then one after another, more and more smelly water overflowed.
Something is coming up.
Subtly, I saw a golden light in the flowing smelly water. It disappears and appears, making it difficult to get the right spot.
It’s a golden and jade magic weapon! I think so.
Then people became even more panic-stricken, because the stinking water rose unnaturally and brought Du'er on the altar into the stinking water river.
I didn't even have time to react. This is a tricky matter...
"Du'er!!!" An old woman rushed forward, shouting sadly and hoarsely. Stumbling up to the altar, he fell on the altar and cried.
The hoarse voice suddenly echoed around.
A little boy stepped forward to comfort the old woman.
But no one else below has moved yet, and it seems it's not over yet.
I slowly stepped forward, wanting to see clearly.
not enough--
not enough--
I also want——
woman--
Give me a woman——
"But, but...but Mr. He Yao, there are no more girls in our village!!!" The villager who seemed to be the leader said in a panic.
I want a woman——
If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you all——
It's all your fault——
Your fault——
Suddenly, a lot of stinky water overflowed, scaring everyone who knelt down and fled quickly.
"Grandma, don't cry... you still have An'er here!"
The child on the altar looked to be about the same age as Yin'er. His lower clothes and the old woman's lower clothes were soaked by the smelly water.
However, the old woman kept crying, and the child was helpless and had to keep tugging on the old woman's clothes.
Seeing that the villagers had almost fled, I appeared and stepped forward. Look at how these men can let this old lady stay here and cry! No love at all.
I looked at the stinking river again, and the faint golden light disappeared without a trace. This is what light means without direction. I can go into the water to get it, but I can go to the smelly water to get it... um...
"Why is this old man crying so sadly here?"
The old man still cries for her before she leaves me...
The kid on the side said wisely, "Is the eldest sister from somewhere else?"
"It's big brother..." I patted the kid on the head in a friendly manner.
"But eldest sister Zhang..."
"No buts!" Yin'er obviously changed his mind quickly at first. This little brat said that I was the big brother.
The boy's words of "no big deal, sister" made the old woman panic, and then she pushed me hard.
"Get out! Get out of here! This is no place for a woman like you!!!"
This old lady is so strong... she almost pushed me.
I quickly explained, "You misunderstood me, old man. Even though I look like this, I am a man! A real man!"
