Chapter 372 Liars
Lin Xiaoqiu told the story of Kong Xuan taking Fanfanle to Luofengpo to pay homage to Yuanfeng.

"Knowing that it's okay makes me feel at ease."

Ershan cupped his hands at Lin Xiaoqiu and turned back into a stone statue. Judging by this, he probably had no interest in the human world, and Lin Xiaoqiu didn't force it.

She went back to the fruit shop and continued to copy the rules.

I don't know when, she doesn't need to sleep or eat.

As a god, this is normal, but Lin Xiaoqiu felt a little flustered.

She stood up and walked into the courtyard. It was already daylight at this time.

"Jinbing, let's go out for a stroll."

Lin Xiaoqiu inserted the fortune pen into his head and said.

Although the sky was dark, people could already be seen on the street.

They came and went in a hurry, probably running around for their livelihood.

Lin Xiaoqiu walked forward aimlessly, looking around, and when he reached the end of the street, he saw a huge thing covered by a red cloth.

She asked curiously, "What is this?"

"There is a severe drought this year, and the crops in the field are not growing well. People plan to hold Dragon King sacrifices to pray for rain. This is the Dragon King statue used for sacrifices." Jinbing said.

"What does the statue of the Dragon King look like?" Lin Xiaoqiu asked curiously.

The golden cake spat out a golden light, and the red cloth used to cover it instantly became transparent.

It shows a man wearing a blue dress and a pearl-curtain crown. His facial features are a bit fierce. There are two dragon horns on his head and a jade tablet in his hand.

"Does the current Dragon King really look like this?" Lin Xiaoqiu pointed and asked.

"No, this image is imagined by human beings themselves." Jinbing said.

"alright."

After watching it, Lin Xiaoqiu lost interest in it and continued to move forward.

Going forward is the city gate.

“I’ve come so far without realizing it.”

Lin Xiaoqiu sighed and walked back.

"Ah, help!"

When passing by an alley, I suddenly heard a scream of fear from a child.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

A child ran out of an alley, and several dogs chased him, howling.

"Sister save me!"

When the child saw Lin Xiaoqiu, he immediately ran to her for help.

Lin Xiaoqiu didn't have time to think about it for a while, but subconsciously pulled him behind.

Several dogs wanted to pounce on them, but when they rushed forward, they felt a terrible breath. They snorted twice and ran away without a trace.

"Are you okay? Did you get bitten?"

Lin Xiaoqiu turned to look at the child.

It was a little boy, who looked about five or six years old. He was wearing nice clothes, and he looked like he came from a wealthy family.

"A lot, thank you for your help. I am very grateful. I wonder if I can go to the house and have a... drink two cups of hot tea and talk about my heart."

Bei Gongning had just started school not long ago, although he had learned some etiquette, but he didn't listen carefully in class, so he searched for some words from the storyteller from his memory and used them.

"Pfft... Heroine."

It was the first time Lin Xiaoqiu heard this title, and she was instantly amused.

She squatted down, touched Bei Gongning's head and said, "You don't need hot tea, tell me where your home is, and I'll take you home."

"Thank you, Nvxia, my house is just next door to this street, and then I have to turn a corner and walk a long way..."

The more Bei Gongning wanted to show his polite side, the more he lacked language.

Communicating with him, Lin Xiaoqiu couldn't help laughing.

Later, she gradually learned that this little guy was named Bei Gongning, a junior of the Bei Gong family, and came here to see where Huo Huo lived, but unexpectedly, he was targeted by vicious dogs.

"Woman, you have never seen that dog. If you see it, you will definitely like it very much. Both my cousins ​​have accidents. Uncle and aunt are very sad. If the dog does not come here often, They're probably going to cry to death."

Speaking of this, Bei Gongning is also a little sad.

"No matter how good that dog is, you can't sneak out. Fortunately, you met me today. If you didn't meet me, you would probably be killed by those dogs just now. You can't do this in the future."

Lin Xiaoqiu warned with a solemn expression.

"I, I know, next time I will definitely let someone accompany me."

Bei Gongning was indeed frightened, and now thinking about it, she still feels frightened.

When she was sent to the mansion by Bei Gongning, Huo Huo just ran out of the gate.

It is very strange that the two guards guarding the gate will salute it.

Huo Huo trotted out, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Lin Xiaoqiu.

"Dog, woman, this is the dog."

Bei Gongning excitedly pointed at Huo Huodao.

"Okay, I saw it, you go home quickly."

Lin Xiaoqiu pushed him forward.

"Goodbye heroine, goodbye dog."

After Bei Gongning finished speaking, he ran in happily.

"Qiuqiu, why are you here?"

After turning out of this street, Huohuo flew over and got into Lin Xiaoqiu's arms.

Lin Xiaoqiu described what happened just now to Huohuo.

One man and one beast returned to the fruit shop.

It was already daybreak and there were more people on the street.

"The sacrificial ceremony has begun. Everyone immediately dressed up, held three sticks of incense and headed to Xishui River."

A group of officers and soldiers shouted and beat gongs.

"Sacrifice ceremony? I haven't seen it yet, let's take a look." Lin Xiaoqiu said.

She and Huo Huo disappeared and came to the sky above the Xishui River.

At this time, many people have gathered below, and everyone holds three incense sticks in their hands.

The river has dried up, and people have built a platform in the river, on which a person in priestly robes is dancing a strange dance.

There were several people around the table, chanting unintelligible words.

"kneel."

The Taoist robed man on the high platform said so, and everyone knelt down.

"Please, Lord Dragon King, give me the rain."

Everyone shouted in unison and kowtowed.

"rise."

After the Taoist man said this, everyone got up again and bowed three times with the incense sticks in their hands.

"This scene seems full of rituals, but is it useful?" Lin Xiaoqiu murmured.

"It's useless, this person is a liar." Jinbing said.

"Oh, there really is no shortage of creatures like liars anywhere."

Lin Xiaoqiu rested her chin with one hand, thinking about how to expose the scammer's tricks.

"What? What did you say, Lord Dragon King? This... How is this possible, absolutely not!"

The Taoist man suddenly knelt down and begged.

Everyone looked up at him, a flash of thunder flashed over the head of the man in Taoist robes, and chopped off his hat.

"Lord Dragon King, calm down, Lord Dragon King, calm down!" The Taoist man kowtowed several times.

Soon the stage was quiet, he stood up and clasped his hands and said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, the Lord Dragon King wants to sacrifice a boy with water, but it's really hard for a poor man to do so, please ask someone else to be wise."

"Does the Boy Water Festival mean throwing children into the water?" Lin Xiaoqiu asked.

"Yes." Jinbing said.

"Damn it, he's a liar, can't he cheat money? Why do you have to kill yourself!" Lin Xiaoqiu was furious after hearing this.

"In this way, he can shirk responsibility. If it doesn't rain after the water festival, he can say that the chosen boy dissatisfied Lord Dragon King." Jinbing said.
