"Is the river god angry?"
The villagers who were waiting anxiously by the river suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the mountain, and they all started talking one after another.
"Didn't a young girl be enshrined today?"
"What's the use of that? Didn't you see that they knocked out the wizard?"
"Yes, this Master Wizard is the one who communicates with Master River God. Now that he has been knocked unconscious, River God must be angry!"
"Then, do you want to rescue the wizard?"
"If we rescue the wizard-sama and enshrine them to the river god, the river god will definitely calm down his anger, right?"
The villagers began to look at Xiao Luo, Meiko and the eldest brother Shanbei who were guarding the wizard.
"This... this was done by our young master, not the River God!" Of course Xiao Luo knew that this should be the sound of explosives. Although she didn't know what the young master and the others did with the explosives, there was no doubt that it was Tang Ping who did it.
But this statement naturally could not be believed by other villagers, and they began to slowly surround Xiaoluo and the others.
Some villagers tried to persuade Meiko: "Miko, it's the people you brought who angered the river god. It's too late for you to regret it now."
"Yes, help us catch them!"
Meiko struggled for a moment, then shook her head and said firmly: "No, they said the river god was fake. If it is true, why didn't he show up in front of us to rescue the wizard?"
"Moreover, they saved my grandma. Everyone believes me, they are really good people."
However, Meiko's words had no effect. The villagers still stared at the wizard and Xiao Luo who was guarding him.
"A bunch of stupid guys, if they want to pass, they can only get over my body!"
As he spoke, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and stood in front of Xiao Luo.
The little fat man also roared, and slapped the river beach with his palm, causing gravel to fly, and he was very powerful.
The remaining villagers here are all old and weak, and the young and strong have fled long ago. In addition, the river beach is full of gravel, and even a larger stone cannot be found.
Seeing the fierce looks of the big brother Wang and Xiaopang on the back of the mountain, they both cowered and did not dare to move forward.
Xiao Luo also didn't expect that they were originally here to rescue these villagers, but now they were surrounded. She raised a small arm crossbow for self-defense with one hand, and said in a tearful voice: "Master, you...are you back? "
After a confrontation for a while, perhaps these villagers felt that their numbers had an absolute advantage, so they finally plucked up the courage and began to slowly walk towards the center.
"Do you want to die?" Tang Ping's angry voice came from behind. A group of stupid villagers led others to get rid of the cancer that caused trouble for them, but they repaid themselves in this way?
The villagers looked at Tang Ping and the others and found that Lao Cui and Lao Du who were walking in front were all bloody and murderous. They were too frightened to make any more moves.
Meiko, on the other hand, was the first to see the women brought by Tang Ping and the others.
Although both eyes are covered, some of them are little sisters who have lived together for more than ten years. How could they not recognize them?
"Ma Yi, it's you...it's Sister Mai!"
"That's right, it's Sister Mai. Sister Mai was taken away by Lord River God!"
Meiko shouted biting her sleeve.
Other villagers also looked over and quickly recognized these girls who once lived in the same village.
"They're not dead?"
"Didn't you say that they were sacrificed to the river god and were eaten?"
"Is the River God really a fake?"
"Hmph!" While these villagers were pointing, Tang Ping walked over with his men and kicked away an old man standing in front of him.
At this time, he had no intention of talking to these villagers about respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
"Are you okay?" Tang Ping asked softly when he came to Xiao Luo.
This time he was careless and ignored the evil in everyone's human nature.
How can these villagers be considered good people if they can worship the girl who lives in the same village again and again?
It can only be said that there is a lot of truth in the saying that poor people must be hateful.
"No...it's okay..." Xiao Luo pursed her lips and tried to pretend that she was fine. This was the first time she encountered a group of people staring at her with hungry wolf eyes.
"It's okay!" Tang Ping didn't want to pay attention to these Fusang villagers anymore, so he took Xiao Luo and planned to leave.
"What's going on?" Brother Shanbei asked.
Tang Ping glanced at him and remembered how Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, held a knife in front of Xiaoluo just now, so he hid the matter in the gold mine and just said that he was a tomb robber, and then told him about it.
These people are Fusang people, members of the Fusang royal family, Shanbei Brother Wang, and have nothing to do with Tang Ping.
Brother Shanbei also didn't expect that a few tomb robbers could do so many things just to dig up ancient tombs in the mountains.
Some other villagers also listened to Tang Ping's explanation and then spread the story.
The villagers who found out that they were deceived now focused their anger on the wizard who was still tied up and knocked unconscious.
One by one, they picked up rocks from the river and threw them at him, hitting him on the head and bleeding. As soon as he regained consciousness, he was knocked unconscious again.
But few villagers care about the rescued girls.
Some villagers even hid behind them after learning what happened to them, for fear of getting close to them.
The eldest brother Yamabei could only say to Meiko: "Help tidy up an empty room and let them live in it first."
"Do you want to save them?" Tang Ping pulled Shanbei's eldest brother Wang aside and asked.
Shanbei's eldest brother nodded matter-of-factly: "You rescued them, so of course you want them to continue living well."
"Then do you know that if we leave, they may not survive for a few days?" Tang Ping asked again.
"Why?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang was stunned.
"First, they don't think much about living." Tang Ping pointed at the girls: "You can tell by looking at their looks."
"The second thing is..." Tang Ping glanced at the villagers: "They don't want them to live."
"Them?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang has never thought about this: "Aren't they... villagers from the same village? Now that those women have been rescued, shouldn't they be happy?"
"Ha..." Tang Ping chuckled and shook his head: "Because of guilt, because as long as they see these girls alive, they will be reminded of their past cowardice and ignorance."
"People tend to love their recipients and hate their perpetrators."
Seeing that Shanbei's eldest brother Wang still didn't understand, Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate for you not to understand this. Forget it, I'll just treat you as a favor."
Tang Ping walked up to the shrine and said loudly: "Do you know why we were able to find the robber holes of those tomb robbers and rescue them?"
The villagers were all attracted by Tang Ping's words, but they didn't dare to interrupt.
"Because the real river god told me that there is a group of villains here pretending to be him and doing evil, so we came."
"As for them..." He pointed at the girls and said, "They have just experienced the ordeal set by the River God, and their souls will ascend to heaven in the future. Of course, if the rest of you can do good deeds, the River God will also consider you."
Just when these villagers were doubtful, Tang Ping pointed to the big stone stuck in the river: "If someone does evil, it will be just like this stone..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone made a loud noise and was blown apart.
The broken stones fell into the river and caused countless waves.
These villagers were fooled by a small boat changing its course. Seeing such a scene, wouldn't they think it was a miracle?
They all fell to their knees and shouted long live the river god.
Even those girls, when they heard Tang Ping's words and the loud thunder-like noise, even though they couldn't see and didn't know what happened, their faces were slightly moved.
