when i got pregnant with the last god cub

The story of Shen Yan falling into the water and being rescued by the toad was circulated in the whole town.

Some people say that she is lucky, others say that she is very evil, and what is even more outrageous is that some people think that she is possessed by a water ghost, or a water monkey climbed up.

Otherwise, how could someone fall into the water for a whole day without dying?Shenyan doesn't know water.

"That's right. At that time, we really didn't know how she survived." Shen Kangshun said with a sad face, "After the child came back, his spirit became very bad, as if he had been frightened by something."

"She refused to say, and every time she asked, she just shook her head not knowing."

"I thought it would be fine if the person came back, as long as nothing happened, who knows what will happen later!"

On the day Shen Yan came back, the originally clear sky suddenly turned cloudy, and it started to rain at night.

The raindrops hit the windows like glass beads with a crisp sound, and they tended to fall bigger and bigger.

It wouldn't be a surprise if it was the next day or two.

But since Shen Yan came back, the rain hasn't stopped.

"It has been raining torrentially, and the people who are falling are panicking. All the toads in the Laizi River have crawled out."

Shen Kangshun couldn't help but took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, then handed it to Chu Zihan and Song Cheng.

"My uncle who doesn't smoke, thank you." After Song Cheng politely refused, Chu Zihan smoked one in his mouth in a daze.

"The houses in our town without courtyards are fine. Needless to say, those with courtyards, those things jump everywhere."

And the toads are very noisy, they sound ugly and loud, and they can really drive people crazy on such an annoying rainy night.

On the third day of this situation, a sorceress in the town came to the door.

She said that Shen Yan was the bride chosen by the river god, and if she wanted the rain to stop, she had to hold a grand and solemn wedding to appease the anger of the river god.

And Shen Yan fell into the water and was sent back because the God of the River felt that the name of the bride married in this way was not right, and he could only do it according to the God of the River's marriage ceremony.

Shen Kangshun thought it was ridiculous, but what happened in the town was so bizarre.

In the end, under the pressure of everyone's opinions, he had no choice but to obey the arrangement of the sorceress to hold such a ridiculous wedding. Even the wedding invitations were sent out honestly according to the rules.

"Hukou Town also had this kind of ceremony decades ago. Goddess Wang told me that she was only allowed to stay on the boat for one night. Shen Yan will be fine. The ceremony is just a formality..."

Seeing his nephew's face getting more and more gloomy, Shen Kangshun tried his best to defend his claim with a guilty conscience.

Chu Zihan smiled coldly, "It will be all right? You have so hastily handed over the important affairs of a girl's family to a sorceress who doesn't know if she is a liar. How do you let her live in front of people in the future? Will she still want to live in front of people? Normal marriage?!"

"My cousin, I really didn't expect you to be a fool as a husband, and even more so as a father."

When Shen Kangshun was said so by a junior, his whole face was red and swollen. He jumped up and stood up and shouted:

"Then what can I do! What else can I do! Can't you see the current situation in our family?"

"Yanyan is my daughter, can I still harm her?!"

Shen Kangshun couldn't help touching his face when he was excited, and his voice became dry.

"Zihan, I know you love Yanyan, and you just need to be careful."

Shen Kangshun sat down dejectedly, and said in a deep voice: "If you really want to do good for Yanyan, you can go with the sedan chair tomorrow to see her off. At least give her courage, so that the God of the River will not think that our family is poor and think she is good. Bully."

"Pick up the palanquin to see him off?" Song Cheng frowned.

Shen Kangshun nodded. Hukou Town had held a similar wedding ceremony for the God of the River decades ago. He had heard from Shen Yan's grandma.

The girl who was married off by the river god would basically not come back if she was particularly satisfied.

If the river god doesn't like it, he can float on the river overnight and sleep, and he will come back safe and sound.

Unselected brides will live longer than ordinary people after returning, and there is no problem in normal marriage.

Later, in order to ensure that their daughters could return safely, the people in the town would pay a lot of money to invite unmarried young men from the family to carry the sedan chair to see the bride off.

Such a man has a masculinity that is incomparable to others. When he lifts the sedan chair to see him off, and when the river god peeps at the bride in the water, it can also act as a deterrent, so that he dare not accept the bride.

After Chu Zihan finished listening, his heart suddenly understood.

Shen Kangshun's family sent him a wedding invitation, maybe they wanted Chu Zihan to be the sedan chair to see him off.

"Where is Shen Yan? Did Shen Yan agree?" Chu Zihan asked in a deep voice.

Shen Kangshun smiled wryly, "Yanyan lost her mind the day she called back, and she couldn't even utter a few complete sentences. What else can I agree or disagree with? She can't decide this matter."

"Sorceress Wang said that her soul was taken away by the River God. If the River God doesn't return her, she will only be insane for a lifetime. But as long as she follows the ritual, she may have a chance!"

Shen Kangshun clapped his hands excitedly, "I've already made up my mind. When Yanyan boards the boat, I'll tie up her hands and feet so that she won't go crazy and fall into the water by herself. Then I'll find a few people to watch and stay up all night." .”

Chu Zihan looked at him incredulously, "What age is this, do you still believe in the feudalism of the sorceress?"

Song Cheng also felt that it was inappropriate to hear it now. He didn't want to interrupt rashly before, but now he couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Shen, in the past, people made such pretentious things as the river god's marriage, because people like witches wanted to make money from it, and there were also women who abducted and trafficked women. Are you sure that witches are not liars?"

Shen Kangshun quickly waved his hands, "It would be great if it was such a simple matter of cheating money and kidnapping people, the main reason is...they are all evil things!"

"As long as you stay in the town for one night, only one night, you won't come to persuade me like today!"

Shen Kangshun looked at the good-looking young man in front of him, turned his head and asked, "Zihan, is this your friend?"

Chu Zihan nodded, "He is my neighbor across the door, and he received the wedding invitation just like me."

"He also received the invitation?" Shen Kangshun was a little surprised, "Why don't I remember that our family knew this..."

"No, he was invited by the man."

As soon as Chu Zihan's words fell, Shen Kangshun lost his voice in shock: "What!?"

"What's wrong?" Chu Zihan frowned.

"He, his invitation card was not sent by us... No wonder." Shen Kangshun murmured, the flesh on his face trembling.

When he and Goddess Wang were preparing these posts, Goddess Wang had to emphasize over and over again that it was necessary to indicate whether the inviter was a man or a woman in the post.

Shen Kangshun still felt baffled at the time, the man didn't exist at all, so why should he talk about inviting him.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he broke out in a cold sweat.

After Chu Zihan and Song Cheng asked a few more questions, they realized that Shen Kangshun had no idea of ​​Chu Zihan's contact information, nor where he lived.

It was Goddess Wang who calculated Chu Zihan's current address based on Shen Kangshun's description in a few words.

Not only Chu Zihan's, but also several relatives who had lost contact and could not find anyone, all sent invitations through this method.

Among the guests who got the man's invitation, the young man was the only one.

Shen Kangshun told them that there were not many relatives who could rush over, and they all lived in the hotel not far ahead.

If Chu Zihan and Song Cheng were not surprised, they would also be staying there tonight.

However, there were not enough qualified people to carry the sedan chair, and Shen Kangshun was very worried about whether something would happen on the day Shen Yan boarded the boat.

The information they have known so far has made the whole thing more confusing.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Chu Zihan and Song Cheng had no choice but to leave Shen's house and get a room in a hotel.

Shen Yan was not there, she was sent to the hospital in the town by Shen Kangshun, and a special person was hired to take care of her, and she would be picked up tomorrow morning.

The two opened a standard room for convenience. Song Cheng stood on the fifth floor and looked down. Not long after it got dark outside, it started to rain lightly.

In this sweltering September, the temperature in Hukou Town is terribly low at night.

"It's raining again." Song Cheng turned to Chu Zihan and said.

The man who was standing there replying to the work news raised his head, "Did you download again?"

Song Cheng nodded, Chu Zihan walked over and looked out.

It was not even eight o'clock at this time, and no one could be seen on the street, and even the lights in the convenience supermarket opposite were turned off early.

This caused the whole town to be dead silent at night, which was very strange.

Chu Zihan couldn't help frowning, "It feels a little abnormal, I'll go to the front desk to get cigarettes later, and ask about the situation by the way."

The relatives Shen Kangshun invited were all from the Shen family. Chu Zihan didn't know many of them, and he didn't know which room they lived in.

"I'll go with you later." Song Cheng thought for a while, "If we come earlier today, maybe we can go to see Shen Yan or meet that Witch Wang."

So far, Song Cheng has not seen the second guest holding the man's wedding invitation.

This had to make him wonder if the River God's marriage would be a dangerous scam.

And Zheng Yanxu was completely absent.

Thinking of this, Song Cheng absently took out the toiletries from the bag.

Chu Zihan nodded, sighed and said, "Yes, we have to get up early tomorrow to meet Shen Yan."

The two packed up their things, then went downstairs to the front desk to get cigarettes, and inquired about the situation in the town by the way.

This hotel is very small, with no more than six or seven rooms on the first floor, and there is only one elevator going up and down.

When they came down, the little girl at the front desk happened to be bending over to lock the door.

"Has the door been locked so early?" Song Cheng asked in surprise.

"The door is locked early during this time, are you going out?" The little girl turned her head and kindly reminded: "At this time, almost all the shops outside are closed. You should wait until tomorrow morning if you want to go out."

"What happened here? It's too strange to lock the door so early." Chu Zihan asked.

The girl glanced at him, hesitated for a moment and lowered her voice:

"There are always strange things happening in the town these days... If you have nothing to do, go back quickly, and remember to lock the doors and windows."

When Song Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but stepped forward to test it out: "We just came here today to attend a relative's wedding. I heard that the groom is a river god. Is it true?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, "Are you relatives of the Shen family?"

"Yes, Shen Kangshun is my uncle." Chu Zihan took over the words.

The girl showed an expression of sudden realization, "Then you must have come to carry the sedan chair? I said why there are suddenly more people coming to stay these days."

"Well, don't think I'm nosy, you can't carry the bride's sedan chair!"

Both Chu Zihan and Song Cheng were taken aback, and the girl at the front desk saw that they didn't understand, and a look of "it's true" appeared on their faces.

Shen Kangshun only told them part of the matter, and kept some things secretive.

The two realized this at the same time, and their hearts sank suddenly.

"Why can't the bride's sedan chair be carried?" Song Cheng asked with a frown.

"Because the dead man's sedan chair can't be carried... Besides, doesn't Shen Kangshun have a son in his family? Why doesn't he come back to carry the sedan chair when his sister is married?" the girl asked back.

Song Cheng was taken aback for a moment, yes, Shen Yan is married, but Shen Qi is still going to university in other places.

But the reason Shen Kangshun gave was that Shen Qi school couldn't ask for leave, so he prevaricated.

"Oh, it's really frustrating. The things in the river can't help crawling out before the wedding. If it's the wedding..."

The girl at the front desk suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and her voice stopped abruptly.

"Xiaochun, is the door locked? Didn't I tell you to go up and change 302's sheets?" A slightly shrill male voice sounded.

Song Chengchao looked back, and the shop owner came out of the lounge at some point and stood behind the two of them.

"It's locked, it's locked, I'll go up and change it right away." The girl at the front desk replied with a guilty conscience, put the key in the drawer and went upstairs.

The shop owner walked over without making any sound, and asked Chu Zihan and Song Cheng calmly, "Would you like to buy cigarettes or water?"

Chu Zihan went back to him to buy cigarettes and asked for a pack of Ruan Zhonghua.

When the two were about to get on the elevator, the shop owner's voice sounded again:

"My little girl is new and ignorant, so don't take her words to heart."

Chu Zihan turned his head and gave him a fixed look. The shop owner's face was as calm as stagnant water, still showing no emotion.

"Let's go." Chu Zihan looked away.

Song Cheng nodded, suppressing the weird feeling in his heart.

After returning to the room, Chu Zihan grabbed a handful of hair irritably.

"I knew that relatives who hadn't been in touch for nine years would be in trouble once they got in touch."

Sure enough, in the river god's wedding ceremony, carrying the palanquin to see him off was not as simple as Shen Kangshun said on the surface, and it might kill someone.

"Actually, we now know that it is a blessing in misfortune. After all, it depends on your personal wishes to see off the sedan chair." Song Cheng replied.

Shen Kangshun couldn't force the man to see him off, and the only thing he was worried about was the thing that the girl at the front desk said climbed up from the river.

The two of them were exhausted after chatting for a while, and they urgently needed a good rest after driving all day.

Song Cheng took a change of clothes to take a shower, while Chu Zihan took out his office notebook and began to check the information of Hukou Town.

After Song Cheng finished washing and changed people, Chu Zihan still didn't find anything substantive.

Either it has not been recorded for a long time, or it is made up.

The two of them really couldn't find out, so they simply ignored it, and waited to see Shen Yan and Mistress Wang tomorrow, so they could probably learn more.

There are two beds in the standard room. Because Song Cheng had a deep fear of windows, he chose the one near the door, while Chu Zihan slept in the one near the window.

Before falling asleep, both of them locked the doors and windows respectively.

Song Cheng even took a glass and turned it upside down on the doorknob, so they could wake up as soon as there was any movement.

What he said to the girl at the front desk that climbed up from the river is still terrified.

After turning off the lights, the room instantly became dark, and the street lamps outside shone in faintly in the darkness. Except for the soft breathing of the two, everything was quiet and eerie.

The raindrops hit the window sill from time to time, making a rattling sound. Song Cheng couldn't hear any insects, but he could always feel something crouching quietly in the grass downstairs.

This indescribable intuition made him feel strong anxiety, and he couldn't help but draw a vague outline in his mind, which probably had the shape of a human being, but not quite.

With this debilitating illusion, Song Cheng was so sleepy that he could hardly think, and finally fell into a dream in the next second.

In the dream, he was lying on a piece of green grass, with the dazzling blue sky and gentle sunlight pouring on his body wantonly.

A sparkling river like inlaid with thousands of diamonds lay quietly and docilely beside him.

Song Cheng felt wanton and relaxed and happy, as if his soul was soaking in hot springs. At the moment when he was half asleep and half awake and squinting his eyes to enjoy, there was a weak voice from the river.

A guy was asking him pitifully and humblely why he couldn't have an heir of his own.

Song Cheng heard his lazy and indifferent voice responding, because the true god did not give you the right to reproduce.

The voice asked again unwillingly, what should I do to be loved by the true God, when can I be like you, be worshiped by the world, and have my own heir.

Song Cheng didn't answer that guy's words immediately, he just stretched out a hand, and gently held Aoyang in the sky in his palm.

While they were created by the true God, they were endowed with rights and missions.

Their names have long been engraved on the ancient inscriptions, together with their fate.

So he heard his own indifferent and lonely voice say, when the sun never rises again.

When the world is wrapped in darkness, they will be relieved until death.

The guy in the river was still asking noisily, it said that the sun would never fail to rise, just as the true body of the Chaos Serpent could not fully descend.

Song Cheng didn't answer, and he didn't expect an inferior god who only knew how to reproduce to understand such a profound question.

The sun is not immortal, maybe it has a time to burn out, though not now.

Song Cheng was immersed in his own world, but a young woman's calling came from far away, from far to near.

Song Cheng opened his eyes irritably, scratched his messy hair and sat up.

She came again, his younger sister who had been predicted by the true god to be his wife since birth, and her ghost lingered.

Song Cheng fixed his eyes, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the ugly guy hiding in the river, secretly looking at the goddess with admiring eyes.

Hiding in the river?This is a good idea, as long as you can get rid of that pestering woman for a while, even if you drink a full stomach, it is not unacceptable.

Song Cheng thought so, stood up abruptly and was about to fall into the river.

The goddess' panicked voice rang in her ears, "No! Brother, don't!"

Song Cheng turned his head subconsciously, and the fear and worry on the woman's face were revealed in front of his eyes.

Strange, he won't die, so why panic.Immediately afterwards, the goddess rushed forward desperately, and she grabbed Song Cheng's arm.

"I've got you! Don't be afraid, I won't let go!"

The younger sister's smile was full of excitement and happiness, as if she had grasped some treasure.

Song Cheng felt more confused than ever. Who told her that he was afraid of water?

Before he had time to think, a hot palm clasped his wrist, the temperature seemed to scald him.

Song Cheng escaped from the dream in an instant, and opened his eyes suddenly.

Darkness surged up from all around, he just wanted to make a sound, but someone covered his mouth faster than him.

Song Cheng grasped the bed sheet subconsciously, and a familiar voice eagerly rang in his ears.

"Don't make a sound!"

It was Chu Zihan.

The man got out of bed at some point, and curled up nervously on the head of the bed.

Song Cheng couldn't figure out the situation for a while, until he lay on the bed and caught a glimpse of the dark mass on the ceiling unexpectedly.

Cold sweat broke out from the back instantly, what is that thing!

Unpleasant and eerie cries of toads rang out one after another outside the window, as if they were having a heated conversation.

And the dark mass on the ceiling moved his body slightly, and the sound of mucus sticking to the wall board came to his ears, bringing up a disgusting feeling of goosebumps.

Fine sweat broke out from the tip of Song Cheng's nose. He tried his best to search for the electric shock rod hidden under the pillow without moving his body.

Although it was very difficult, Song Cheng's hand covered by the quilt still grasped the cold electric shock rod.

The slippery sweat in his palms made him uncomfortable. Song Cheng didn't know what the thing that crawled up from the river was, judging by its appearance alone, it seemed to be a huge toad.

The thing was about the size of a dining table for two, and the lumpy and protruding skin lying there reflected a dull color under the dim light.

Song Cheng didn't dare to act rashly. Frogs have poor eyesight but very sensitive hearing.

It can be said that they almost rely on hearing to judge the location and then prey.

Moreover, once such a huge monster jumped down from the ceiling, they might not even have time to hide.

How the hell did this thing get in here? !Song Cheng couldn't help but let out a cry from the bottom of his heart.

Obviously the doors and windows are... Song Chenggang shifted his gaze to the windows, and he was dumbfounded.

The window was opened by someone at some point, not to mention the wide opening, and the door frame was still covered with slime from the thing that forced it to squeeze in.
