Yuehe Village is not a very large village, and the most respected person in the village is the village chief Feng, who has reached the age of sixtieth year.
In the land of China during this period, people who can live past the age of 60 are enough to be called Shou Xinggong, and the family of Village Chief Feng, who has lived in Yuehe Village for generations, has blood all over this Yuehe Village.
As long as Village Chief Feng said a word, the seven adults of the entire Yuehe Village would respond, if there was no imperial court official, then Village Chief Feng was undoubtedly the most powerful person in Yuehe Village.
As the head of a village, he was also responsible for confronting the river demon when he arrived three years ago, and in the end, Yuehe Village was able to survive and not be destroyed by the river demon, which also has his credit.
And since the river demon settled in Yuehe Village, Village Chief Feng has become the only person in Yuehe Village who can talk to the river demon, and when the river demon wants sacrifices every year, it is basically conveyed through the mouth of Village Chief Feng.
Just three days after Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue met, early in the morning, Village Chief Feng struck the gong with a gong and called the whole village to the entrance of the village.
When the gong sounds, it means that something important is going to happen in the village.
Therefore, whenever the village chief rings the gong, the people in the village, without exception, will put down their work and go to the village entrance to listen to the village chief's arrangement.
The sound of gongs in the village shook the sky, and Le Yuan, who had been observing from the nearby hills, naturally heard the sound exactly the same, looking at the lively scene of hundreds of families gathering together at the head of the village, Le Yuan's body changed into a dusty passer-by mixed into the crowd to join in the fun.
In addition to the villagers, even the beggars who had been begging in the village were not to be outdone, and after hearing the sound of the gong, they took care of themselves under a big stone next to the head of the village.
"Cut, disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, there must be no good things This old man Feng really has nothing to do, next time I will go to his door to block it, and if I don't give my grandfather good food and drink, I will go to his door all day long."
In the broken bowl in the beggar's hand, there was still half a steamed bun that Yu Xiaoxue had just handed him, and he bit the steamed bun fiercely while looking at Village Chief Feng, who was talking boastfully in front of everyone, and his eyes flashed with disdain.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Yuehe Village, I invite you to come here today for nothing else.
This river god has blessed our Yuehe Village for a year, although it cannot be said that the wind and rain are smooth, but it is also not a big disaster, it can be said that it is conscientious and conscientious, asking for the life of the people" Earlier, Village Chief Feng said spittle, it was simply saying that the river demon occupying Yuehe Village was a peerless good monster in the sky and no in the earth, and he was simply a model figure who wanted to become a god with incense, and it seemed that he was not the one who wanted to make living sacrifices every year.
"What is the village chief doing, speaking for the river god, I don't want to think about it" A typical peasant man looked at the existence standing in front of him, scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.
"Be quiet, if the river god hears it, our family's Cui'er will be bad, bear with it" I saw a woman next to the peasant man hurriedly pulled the man's sleeve, motioned to the other party to speak quietly, and at the same time held a 7 or 8-year-old girl on the side with her other hand.
In the past three years, the annual sacrifice has caused the death of three fifteen-year-old girls in the village, which also indicates that the three families have lost their daughters.
At this time, the three families looked at Village Chief Feng on the stage with hatred, hating Village Chief Feng's inaction, hating why no one could clean up the man-eating monster.
Also full of anger and sorrow are more than 20 families with young girls, as long as the girl has not yet married, there is a possibility of being selected to sacrifice to the river demon.
When Village Chief Feng finished complimenting the river demon, he finally began to tell the purpose of calling the whole village early this morning, only to see Village Chief Feng raise his fists with both hands, as if there was some great joy, with a smile on his face.
"Folks, Lord River God asked me last night, he said that the River God Festival will be held tomorrow night, and then he will personally select a girl from the village to be her bride, and if he is happy, he may pardon the amount of sacrifices in the village for three years, everyone will make arrangements early today, looking forward to the arrival of Lord River God tomorrow."
Yu Xiaoxue, who was in the audience, was holding her brother's shoulders with both hands, comforting her younger brother Xiaoshuo.
"Alas, what's going on with this old man Feng, what kind of relatives does this river demon marry, isn't that just sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, and what kind of festival is held to welcome the river god, it's really old and confused" Uncle He, who was standing next to Yu Xiaoxue, shook his head and said, as a person of the same generation as Village Chief Feng, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of this old fellow.
When the villagers gathered in the morning dispersed, Yu Xiaoxue helped her younger brother to follow behind Uncle He.
"Uncle He, are we going to prepare for the festival too, and the village chief said that the river god will appear tomorrow?"
Yu Xiaoxue has never seen the true face of the river god with her own eyes, but she has heard that the river god has a hideous appearance, has extraordinary spells, and has killed many "enlightened" masters who came to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
"What to prepare, it's obviously a man-eating monster, and I don't know which family will suffer tomorrow, I really hope someone can come and take him in, this world, it's really alas" Uncle He glanced at Yu Xiaoxue, who was still young, and Xiao Shuo on the side, shook his head and walked to his inn, Yu Xiaoxue helped his younger brother to follow.
And Le Yuan didn't leave in a hurry after the group of people dispersed, and the matter of marrying a river demon is by no means simple.
In Le Yuan's impression, the river demon has even done it in human form, how could he come to marry, his real purpose is definitely not simple, Le Yuan always feels that this matter may really have something to do with him.
Just as Le Yuan was about to enter the village to inquire about the old village chief's door, before he could take a few steps, he heard a shout not far from him.
"Hey, the young man in front" The voice was a little hoarse, but Le Yuan couldn't help but stop at this time.
Because Le Yuan left relatively late, there was no one else around him when he was about to enter the village, and this shout was undoubtedly calling him, but the problem was that the passerby that Le Yuan incarnated was not young.
Le Yuan turned his head, looked at the beggar who stopped him, raised his right hand and pointed at himself and asked, "You were calling me just now, you didn't call the wrong person, right?"
The beggar shouted, and Le Yuan couldn't help but set his eyes on this inconspicuous beggar.
Yuehe Village said that it was not big or small, there were people in various professions such as grocers, doctors, carpenters, and blacksmiths, but this beggar was only one person in front of him.
Although Le Yuan glanced at this man, he found that he was very ordinary, but not only did he have hidden strength, but even his body was much weaker than ordinary people.
"Ahem, that's you.
If I'm not mistaken, your current appearance is not your own, and you definitely have a magical skill."
I saw the beggar holding the broken bowl in one hand and a wooden stick in the other hand and walking in front of Le Yuan step by step.
"yes, so what, if nothing I think we have anything to say."
Fortunately, the weather was not very hot at this time, so although there was a peculiar smell on the beggar's hand in front of him, it was not very strong after all, and Le Yuan immediately blocked his sense of smell as soon as he smelled it.
"Hehe, the old man is quite thirsty, I don't know if the son can have the kung fu to fetch some water from the well in the middle of the village for the old man to drink" The beggar grinned and handed over the broken bowl in his hand.
"Fetch Water" Le Yuan looked at this old beggar, and couldn't help but sound a small side quest that used to be in the game, but in reality, there is no such thing as fetching water and changing medicine, this person definitely has an extraordinary identity.
"If you don't have water, you can't drink wine" Le Yuan's hand flickered, and suddenly a wine bag appeared in his hand.
Le Yuan's hand shook, and suddenly there was a gurgling sound in the wine bag.

The "wine" old beggar snatched the wine bag from Le Yuan's hand at once, and Le Yuan also saw a few familiar martial arts routines from his grasp.
However, these rules were used in the old beggar's poor body, and they were full of flaws.
"Coo-too-comfortable, it's been a long time since I've drunk such a good wine, my mouth is about to fade out of a bird, thank you so much I wish you good fortune and prosperity, all your wishes come true, old beggar, I'm going to beg, goodbye" The old beggar drank the wine, shook the wine bag in his hand, and when he saw that he could no longer say a drop of wine, he waved his hand and planned to say goodbye to Le Yuan.
Looking at this mysterious old beggar who took the benefits and left, Le Yuan did not catch up, but walked into the village and stopped in front of a bun shop everywhere.
"Boss, let's have two steamed buns."
"Okay, wait a minute, guest officer" Le Yuan took the steamed bun and talked with the boss while eating, and the owner of the steamed bun shop was also very talkative about Le Yuan, a strange customer.
As they chatted, the two of them talked about the only beggar in the village.
"It's really strange that your village is also strange, it should be all related to the family, how could there be an extra beggar, could it be that he fled from outside" Le Yuan asked after taking a bite of the bun.
"It is also possible that this beggar came suddenly a year and a half ago, and before he came, there was a storm and thunder, which frightened me.
After that night, I saw the old beggar inhale less and exhale more and fell at the entrance of the village, at that time, it seemed that the little snow girl from Old Man He's house helped him, and then he survived, the old beggar's life was really hard, I thought he was dead. ” "yes, that's really weird, then he usually doesn't have a place to live, and he's already dead."
"Well, it seems that he lives in the abandoned City God Temple in the east of the village, and he lives alone in that place."
The owner of the bun shop said nonchalantly.
"Then three more buns, I'll take them" Le Yuan wandered around the village with three wrapped buns.
The whole village can be said to be completely in motion, although they are reluctant and do not have a happy expression on their faces, they have to start arranging the village according to Village Chief Feng's wishes.
Red lanterns were hung high, and a large wooden platform was set up in the middle of the village, and the village and the village were completely busy.
At the same time, I don't know where Village Chief Feng got a clay sculpture that was moved to the middle of the wooden platform, which is rumored to be the golden body set up by the river god, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to replace the dilapidated City God Temple and become the only enshrined existence in Yuehe Village.
"A cat and a dog dare to build a temple and set up a shrine, I really don't know whether to live or die" After walking around the village, Le Yuan walked into the Chenghuang Temple in the east of Yuehe Village. t1706231537:
