my weird life

Chapter 613: Talking and Talking! (twenty two)

The sky is bright.

The morning sun sprinkled golden brilliance, spreading out into pieces of golden scales on the river.

In front of the Wutong Ferry, several boats were tied to the shore, men, women and children gathered on the shore where the boats docked, or told the boatmen on board, or took out money, please go on a long journey. The boatman of the boatman helped him buy some rare items in the big city that could not be seen in the village.

outside the ferry,
Under the river embankment, next to a row of thatched huts that have been in disrepair for a long time, villagers from various villages also gathered around the open space, and from time to time a mournful cry could be heard from the gathered crowd.

"Little sister Sun!

This person is the wife of Zhang Erlang in Zhangjiazhuang—I heard that she and her husband had a quarrel a few days ago, so she went back to her natal family in the next village—unexpectedly, she also drowned in the Minjiang River!
Hey, she's still pregnant..."

"There are so many female corpses present, which one was not pregnant and drowned in the river?
I think this is Jiang Longwang asking for sacrifices for us! "

"What are you talking about here?!

that whoever!Since you know this female corpse, hurry up to Zhangjiazhuang, inform that Zhang Erlang, and ask him to claim his wife's corpse! "

"Okay, okay, I'm going!"

In the open space, elderly people from the surrounding villages were walking back and forth around the twenty female corpses placed on the open space, leaning on crutches.

The village elders were gray-haired, and they all looked at the corpse on the ground with solemn eyes.

The surrounding villagers gather and recognize each other,
It didn't take long to identify the identities of all the female corpses on the ground except for the few girls in Goulan. Villagers have already helped run errands and went to each household to inform the news.

The villagers here gathered more and more, and the noise became louder and louder.

"These twenty female corpses are all pregnant!

Pregnant, I don't know what happened, just fell into the Minjiang River and drowned! "'Xiliu Village Village Elder' frowned, and lowered his voice to talk with the elders of the Huang clan in Jinxi Village nearby.

"Strange, strange.

If the Minjiang Dragon King only swallowed pregnant women, wouldn't the villages around us have to wither their population in the future?
If things go on like this, maybe the four local surnames of Chen, Huang, Zhao and Liu may all have the possibility of becoming extinct! "The old man of the Huang family in Jinxi Village was worried and thought about things further.

The village elders gathered together to chat with each other.

The noise of the crowd gathered around exploded.

Someone squeezed out of the crowd and hurriedly asked several village elders: "Lizheng, old patriarch—my wife has been missing for three or four days too! I heard from them that the drowned female corpses on the ground were all pregnant women. Pregnant...

My wife is also pregnant for more than two months.
Could it be Jiang Longwang who ate her? ! "

"My son's wife is also missing!

There is also a month of Shen Yun! "

"Uncle Clan, what should I do?!"

"Lizheng..."

The panic that had been accumulated to the peak was no longer suppressed by the villagers when someone announced it, and it exploded in an instant!
People are panicking!

Su Wu led Xianzheng and Xian one or two to stand in the corner behind the village elders.At this time, he heard the shouts of the surrounding villagers, and his brows were tightly frowned—as expected by him and his master,
In the surrounding villages, there are many pregnant and missing women.

They all probably drowned in the Minjiang River too!

The twenty corpses on the ground are not all the creatures swallowed by the Minjiang River!

The village elders had never seen such a strange thing before. Looking at the shriveled female corpses on the ground, they were at a loss for a while, and finally turned their attention to the purple-robed Taoist in the corner——Su Wu.

After Su Wu ordered Huang Liuzi to pass the news to the village elders,
It was considered timely for everyone to arrive, but they didn't pay attention to him as a young Taoist, they identified the corpses on their own, called the villagers to claim them, and directly ignored the existence of Su Wu.

Now that he really encountered a difficult problem, he thought of Su Wu instead.

Su Wu didn't think it was disobedient.

The surrounding world highly respects the red-headed master on the 'Tianwei Dao Altar'. As a foreign Taoist priest, he is naturally not easy to recite scriptures when he first arrives. Now that he is involved in the situation, he also has the purpose of improving the current situation.

Although the village elders didn't believe that Taoists from the 'Beilu Mountain Sect' could solve the current affairs, they didn't dare to be too contemptuous towards Su Wu, and on the surface they still showed enough courtesy to Su Wu.

After saluting, one of them hesitated and said: "Xiao Daoist, look at the current situation, what is going on?"

"The top priority should be to count the number of missing people in the surrounding villages.

Compile a list of pregnant women in various villages, take care of them, and warn them not to leave home. "Facing the hesitant eyes of several village elders, Su Wu directly put forward his own opinion.

"If that's the case, don't we care about those missing pregnant women?" A village elder frowned and asked Su Wu, "If this disaster is not eradicated, pregnant women will disappear every day in the villages around us, and Fujian will be drowned." Jiang's matter.

If things go on like this, it is inevitable that the population will wither.

The situation is more serious, maybe we have to leave our hometown and flee to other places! "

"The purpose of counting the number of missing people is to check whether all the missing people are pregnant women and no males are missing. In this way, we can gather the young and strong of the village, patrol the villages, and take into account the safety of the villages.

The purpose of compiling the roster is to take better care of those pregnant women.

With this roster, targeted control of those who are more likely to go missing can avoid wasting manpower.

Under such circumstances, if one person is missing, the situation can be brought under control in an instant, and more clues can be unearthed.

Your Excellency has been working in Zhangzhuang Lizheng for many years, but don't you even understand this principle? ! " Su Wu looked directly at Zhang Zhuang villager Zheng who frowned and questioned him, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Zhuangli was immediately overwhelmed by his aura and could not speak for a long time.

Jinxi Village was trying to smooth things over, apologizing to Su Wu with a smile: "Prince Xiaodao, chief Xiaodao, I'm not questioning your plan, how about it—"

He glanced at the crowd gathered around, and shouted: "Jinxi Village has a few young and strong people from all surnames. Bring an old man who can read and write, and tell us if anyone in our village has disappeared recently? Or if you haven't returned for many days Count it!
In addition, find out how many women of childbearing age there are in the village,

How many of them are pregnant, compile a roster, and bring it to me! "

This 'Jinxi Villager Zheng' wanted to come to be quite prestigious in the village, not long after his words fell, more than a dozen young and strong men got their errands, broke away from the crowd and went back to the village to work.

After ordering this matter in front of Su Wu, Zhengcai in Jinxi Village turned to Su Wu, and continued, "Xiao Daoist, the method you proposed is indeed useful, but what I'm waiting for is—is there anything more useful? way?

For example—grab the evil spirit behind you directly, open the altar to kill it,

Settle this matter once and for all? "

Su Wu's expression turned pale, and he acted as if he was confiding in Jinxi Village, and said: "Someone really has a plan in mind for the matter here."

As soon as he said this,
Everyone around pricked up their ears.

Several village elders turned their attention to him.

"I think you all know that these twenty female corpses were all salvaged from the mouth of the Shaxi River to a certain section of the Minjiang River by the poor Daoist and his disciples. The ship, encountered some strange things,

When I came to Wutong Temple for help, I happened to meet my party.

I went to the riverside to investigate the situation immediately, and only then did I salvage the twenty female corpses.

Huang Liuzi should have talked about the situation with the village elders this morning.

I might as well say a little more now.

Lao Miaozhu died after his heart was gouged out, and there was no trace of a sharp instrument tearing the flesh on his chest—the chest injury was not caused by human power, and it may be related to ghosts and gods!

He served the Wutong God all his life, but now he died in the Wutong Temple.

In this matter, the Wutong Temple is inseparable!

The Tianwei Dao Altar cannot be separated from it!

As for the fact that many pregnant women drowned in the Minjiang River, I suspect that this matter is also inseparable from a certain god! "

Today, Su Wu's speech inevitably has a little accent of the real Chilong, and he gradually begins to call himself 'someone'.

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the crowd!

Wutong God is widely worshiped in the local area, and the incense is not bad. This god has long been closely related to various production and living activities of the local people. Naturally, they cannot accept Su Wu's statement.

Those village elders looked at Su Wu with subtle expressions when they heard the uproarious remarks of the surrounding villagers.

Zhang Zhuang Lizheng, who was intimidated by Su Wu's aura just now, got courage support from the surrounding villagers, and said to Su Wu: "The old temple wished to die in the Wutong Temple, this matter should be brought out by Tianwei Dao Altar Clarify one or two, distinguish right from wrong.

But this Taoist priest, you said that many pregnant women drowned in Minjiang, which is also deeply related to Wutongshen.

What evidence do you have for this? "

"Do you know why the Goulan girls carried by Huang Liuzi were sold by the Goulan masters of the big county to the secret gates of the small town?" Su Wu glanced at the surrounding villagers who were showing hostility towards him, and suddenly said in a trembling voice .

In his words, there is a hint of "conversation and sword" endowment,
He can make people listen to his words unconsciously.

The villagers were at a loss for a moment, not knowing what Su Wu's question meant.

They all turned their eyes to him, waiting for his answer.

Zhang Zhuangli was squinting his eyes and asked, "What's the reason?"

"Those Goulan women were pregnant at the same time!

They worshiped the Wutong God at the "Wutong God Parade" in the first month, and shortly thereafter, each of them became pregnant—thinking that they were from prostitutes, the Goulan master was most taboo about them being pregnant, and could not make money for them. It must be strictly guarded against the stomachs of these prostitutes, with a small check every three days and a big check every five days-but under such circumstances, these Goulan women are pregnant at the same time!

Even after taking a few doses of miscarriage pills, the fetus in the womb still failed! " Su Wu said.

"Even so, it doesn't mean that this matter is related to Wutongshen?
Maybe it was their bad luck that they got pregnant with the guest's child? "In the crowd, someone asked hesitantly.

Zhang Zhuangli was relatively close to Su Wu, and he was unconsciously persuaded by Su Wu's words, and did not raise any objections immediately.

Su Wu looked at a young villager who was asking a question in the crowd, then glanced at the surrounding villagers, smiled suddenly, and asked: "Who have wives—may as well recall carefully,
About when did your wife become pregnant?
Not long before she conceived, did you both pay homage to the Wutong God? Did you also make a wish in front of the god that you would give birth to an heir as soon as possible? ? ! "

What Su Wu said was originally intended to make use of his talent of sharp tongue and sharp tongue to make people around him subtly agree with his words.

But he did not expect,

At the moment, what he said secretly conjectured,
But it is in one sentence!
Among the surrounding villagers, many people's expressions suddenly changed!

"This, this, this! How can this be done?!"

"Master Dao, real person!

Save my wife and my child! "

"I beg the priest to open the altar to save people!"

Among the surrounding people, the men with families fell to their knees!
They knelt down towards Su Wu, causing their parents, relatives, and followers to kneel down too!

But for a moment,

Only a few village elders were still standing in the arena.

One of the village elders also fell to his knees suddenly!

The village elder repeatedly kowtowed to Su Wu: "Master Dao, my daughter-in-law is also pregnant—it was the old man who ordered them to offer incense and pray for a child in front of the Wutong God!

Not long after offering incense, my daughter-in-law had a happy event! "
