The village where she is now was originally called Yinghe Village. The village was surrounded by a lake, hence the name. It was renamed Lingcun thirty years ago for unknown reasons.

Twenty years ago, a storm broke out in the lake, and a series of weeping sounds came from the bottom of the lake. Then rumors spread that the villagers in Lingcun had angered the river god and would face the river god's wrath.

Several villagers did not believe in the theory of the river god, and unexpectedly died suddenly and mysteriously that night.

At this time, Huang Youcai, who is now the village chief of Lingcun, proposed to appease the anger of the river god by offering sacrifices.

Sacrifice is actually to use a living life as a tribute and throw it into the lake and pond for the river monster to use as food.

None of the villagers wanted their daughter to die, but they were afraid of death.

In the end, Huang Youcai's advice was followed and a girl was selected by drawing lots to be sacrificed.

After the sacrifice, the terrifying sound did not appear again, and the villagers' lives were much better than before. They firmly believed that this was the blessing of the river god.

Since then, a young girl will be thrown into the lake as a sacrificial tribute every Mid-Autumn Festival night.

A year ago, the lake and pond changed. Every time it was midnight, there would be sounds coming from the bottom of the pond, including crying, laughter and sometimes singing.

The villagers were all terrified, fearing that something would suddenly burst out from the bottom of the pond and swallow them whole, so the sacrifice was changed from once a year to once a month.

Since the start of the sacrifice, the villagers have gone crazy. They have to hold sacrifices when they encounter setbacks and difficulties. There is a kind of people who want to protect them after eating the tribute.

Yun Duo put together the bits and pieces of the news he heard and pieced together the entire incident.

Yun Duo flashed back to the woodshed again. She overheard from Huang Youcai that she was the only unmarried girl left in the entire Ling Village. No wonder there was such a big noise at the entrance of the village when she was brought back.

After a while, a few words of greeting came from the door.

The village chief was so careful, even a girl was worthy of the four of us guarding her.

It turned out that Huang Youcai was afraid that her escaping again would delay the good times, so he sent two people to guard the woodshed together.

Yun Duo couldn't help but feel lucky that she came back in time, otherwise these people would have caused a big stir if they discovered that she was missing.

She already knew something about the things in the village, and the next step was to wait until her son's time to see how the sacrifice was carried out and who the river god was.

Yun Duo sat cross-legged on the ground to absorb spiritual power and closed his eyes to practice.

The four people guarding the door were already sleeping in a heap.

With a "bang", Huang Youcai led someone to open the firewood shed door and saw her sitting cross-legged on the ground. Then he raised his hand and someone immediately stepped forward to hold Yun Duo down and took her to a side room.

Three or four women were holding a set of bright red bridal clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. in their hands.

When the woman saw her appearance, she quickly put her wedding clothes on her body and dressed her up at the same time. She was so fast that she was afraid of missing the right time.

The clouds were like puppets on strings, motionless as they tossed.

When the other party finished his work, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror and almost blurted out the essence of the Chinese nation.

I don’t know what was painted on her face, it’s very pale without any blood, with thin eyebrows and a little red lipstick. This is not human at all, just like a paper ghost, which makes people not want to look at it again at the first glance. Two bowls.

However, the women who were dressing up were very satisfied with her appearance and complimented her on her natural beauty from time to time.

Yun Duo rolled her eyes and almost rolled her eyes to the sky. As expected, not everyone has such a thing as aesthetics. The person she was painted looked like a ghost or a ghost, but they actually said it looked good.

Dress her up, there's still a quarter of an hour before midnight.
