Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

Jiang Si naturally had some ideas, so she went with them to see the so-called gods.

On the way, Jiang Si called Axiu to the carriage. Axiu's face turned pale and she almost forgot to cry. She remained silent in the fear that she could not escape.

Jiang Si whispered: "Tell me about the gods in your town."

Axiu was awakened by Jiang Si's voice, and she looked at Jiang Si in confusion and horror.

Jiang Si's eyes were a bit gentle: "Tell me, maybe I can save your life."

Hearing what Jiang Si said, Axiu took a deep breath, calmed down the fear in her heart, and started talking about the gods in their town.

God started a year ago.

At that time, people in the town were suffering from a strange disease. People suffering from the disease could see countless ghosts every night.

It starts every night and then gets better again during the day.

The people in the town said that it was haunted by evil spirits, and they found many magicians to exorcise the evil spirits, but there was no solution.

In the end, even the mages were infected with the strange disease.

The mages all left the town in a hurry.

As soon as they left the town, those mages miraculously recovered from their illnesses.

The people in the town began to think about leaving the town.

Axiu paused for a moment, as if thinking of something terrible, she took a deep breath and exhaled before continuing.

The first people to come out of town were a couple with their son.

They packed up all their belongings and wanted to leave town to escape the terrible disease.

But there seems to be a strange force in the dark that prevents people in the town from going out.

It seems that only people outside the town can be powerful, while the original people in the town cannot step outside this place.

The couple left town during the day and showed up again at night.

They were frightened and prepared to run out again at night, but this time they were not so lucky and they all died.

The death is horrific.

After this time, everyone was too scared to go out, and some were extra courageous and held on to a glimmer of hope, but the final result was without exception.

are dead.

Since then, no one dared to go out again.

When Jiang Si and Qiu Shuang heard this, they both looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

Life in the town was not easy, and strange diseases plagued them every day. Not long after, a divine messenger appeared.

He said that he was a believer in the gods and brought the gods' gifts to save the people in the town.

Miraculously, no one in the town saw those ghosts again that night when the angel appeared.

The divine envoy said that as long as you build temples for the gods and pay homage to the gods, you will be protected by the gods.

The divine messenger gave everyone an image of a god with a fish tail and a fork in his hand, and asked everyone to worship according to this image.

Everyone acted quickly, and there were no strange illnesses soon after the temple was built.

Everyone can see the magic of the gods.

The temple was full of incense, but not long after, the messenger said that the gods had done so many things for everyone, and everyone should repay the gods.

The god said he needed an unmarried girl to become his wife.

In this way, almost every other month, people in the town would send a girl to the gods.

Axiu's eyes filled with tears and she choked with sobs: "And this time it's my turn."

Jiang Si asked curiously: "Where are the girls who were sent to the gods in the end?"

Axiu shook his head: "I don't know. The envoy said that since it was given to the gods, it has nothing to do with the mortal world anymore."

"They are with the gods and cannot be seen by ordinary people like us."

Axiu covered her mouth and cried softly: "Actually, that's not the case. They are all dead."

"I've seen it."

"I saw a rotting corpse in the wasteland behind the temple. I saw the clothes on the corpse, which were given to the bride of the god."

A Xiu was shaking all over and burst into tears.

Jiang Si basically understood the ins and outs and asked softly: "How are the gods' brides selected? Is it designated or are there any special requirements?"

Axiu shook his head: "There are no special requirements, as long as the person has good facial features, and then we will draw lots to decide."

Jiang Si then asked: "Is there any family member who is unwilling to send their daughter there?"

"Or maybe you told everyone that the bride you sent there would die. How would everyone react? Will they continue?"

After Jiang Si asked this last question, she felt it was a bit redundant.

It will definitely continue, otherwise how could it be Axiu’s turn.

A Xiu sobbed softly twice and continued: "There are also people who are unwilling to send it over, but in the end..."

"The daughter of that family will die inexplicably."

"The angel said it was a punishment for offending the gods."

She paused and continued: "Actually, everyone is quite willing to send her there, except for a few families who love their daughters very much, so I told them that the bride I sent there might die, but they didn't respond at all."

"Because daughters are completely unimportant to them. Apart from being able to exchange for some betrothal gifts when they grow up, they are like members of other people's families."

"What's more, the gods will also give you a sum of money when you get married, so no one will refuse."

After A Xiu finished speaking, the carriage also stopped.

An Wu's voice sounded outside: "Madam is here."

A Xiu panicked when she heard the sound. She subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull Jiang Si, but was blocked by Qiu Shuang.

Axiu looked at Jiang Si as if asking for help: "Madam, please help me."

Jiang Si whispered: "You go back first, I will find a way to save you."

Axiu also said just now that all girls in the town who are fourteen or above must come to the temple to worship.

Although the Bride of the Gods was chosen at random, could it be that the so-called gods looked over in advance, then decided on the bride, and then made it look like they were chosen by chance?

She had carefully looked at Axiu just now. Although Axiu did not have the gorgeous appearance of a noblewoman from the capital, she was still pretty.

It should be pretty good in this town.

That's why she was chosen.

Jiang Si got off the carriage, and Axiu was taken back by her family to prepare for marriage.

Jiang Si, on the other hand, entered the temple directly.

An Wu and Qiu Shuang followed Jiang Si closely, carefully looking around the temple, while Ah Da followed Jiang Si, like a shadow, keeping a just right distance.

The incense in the temple was very strong. Jiang Si raised her eyes and saw the appearance of the so-called god. He had a human body and a fish tail, holding a harpoon in his hand, and his face was ferocious.

She didn't burn incense, just took a look and found a place to stay in the town.

Axiu will get married three days later. After three days, Axiu will change into the bride's clothes and be sent to the temple.

The day before Axiu got married, she came to see Jiang Si. Her eyes were red and she seemed to have accepted her fate: "Madam, I know I can't escape, and I don't have anything to hope for."

"I just hope Madam can come and dress me tonight. I've never been outside the town."

After saying that, she paused for a moment with a embarrassed look on her face: "I know it's a little difficult for Madam, I just want to be happy before I die..."
