Xiao Chi dragged Xi Yue forward excitedly.
What surprised and uncomfortable Xi Yue was that she always felt that many eyes seemed to fall on her.
You must know that her current appearance is covered, and in the eyes of others, even if she is thrown in the pile, she will not have any strange appearance, and it stands to reason that she will not attract the attention of others at all.
Moreover, from these gazes, she did not feel amazed, only a kind of inquiry, curiosity, and even envy.
But when Xi Yue looked over, he found that the islanders were just smiling plainly, and there was nothing abnormal at all.
A hint of coldness flashed in Ji Mingyu's eyes, but his expression did not move.
"Xiao Chi, Xi Yue, we are here!
The location is better!
Come here!
” Qianqian's shout suddenly sounded in his ears.
Xi Yue crossed the crowd and came to Qianqian's location, only to find that it was more lively, people were dressed more gorgeously, and there were more than a dozen people carrying six very gorgeous sedan chairs.
On both sides of the sedan chair stood a man and a woman, the man was wearing a red wedding dress, like a bridegroom, and the woman was older, but also wearing gorgeous clothes, shaking a fan in her hand, and smiling extraordinarily brightly.
The long procession headed in the direction of the cliff by the sea, and the hearty and cheerful singing of the men could be heard along the way.
Qianqian couldn't help but look in the direction of the six sedan chairs, and asked Chen Dong curiously: "What's in there?"
” Chen Dong said with a smile: "It is a sacrifice to be dedicated to the god of the sea, the man standing next to the sedan chair is the lucky one who is allowed to make sacrifices, and the woman next to the sedan chair is the priestess." ” Seeing Qianqian's confused expression, Chen Dong explained.
It turns out that at the annual fish festival on the island, only a few people are qualified to offer sacrifices to the god of the sea.
These people are usually islanders who have made significant contributions to the island, and the sacrifices they offer are of great value in order to be eligible to be sacrificers.
After the sacrifice is brought to the altar, the sea god will take the sacrifice away, and the palanquin will remain in its place, while the palanquin will leave the reward that the sea god has given to the islanders.
And the rewards given by the sea god are often very rich and tempting, so everyone wants to be the one who is qualified to sacrifice.
Chen Dong pointed to one of the men who was a little short and fat and said proudly: "That's my brother, because he caught the jade snow fish with his father, so he is qualified to be a sacrificer this year." ” Chen Dong said with yearning and envy on his face, his eyes glanced at Qianqian on the side again, and the smile on his face became more and more honest and simple, "I will work harder in the future, I believe that when the fish festival is held next year, I will also be able to become a person who is qualified to sacrifice like my eldest brother." ” While speaking, Brother Chen Dong's sedan chair had already arrived in front of him, and Brother Chen Dong specially leaned a little closer to the side of the road to greet Chen Dong.
Qianqian couldn't help but be curious, reached out to open the curtain of the sedan chair, and wanted to look inside.
Suddenly there was an angry shout in his ears: "What are you doing?!"
” Before Qianqian could react, her body had been dragged back heavily, and as soon as she turned around, she met Chen Dong's hideous and angry expression.
Qianqian was frightened, she didn't expect that Brother Chen, who had always been gentle and honest, would have such a violent side.
However, that kind of violence was only for a moment, Chen Dong quickly regained his gentle appearance, and explained: "The sacrifice is for Lord Seagod, since entering the sedan chair, mortals such as me are not allowed to touch and watch, otherwise it will be disrespectful to Lord Seagod, and the entire island will be punished." ”
