Debuted in the C position of the thriller variety show

It's a dead end from the start.

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable!

Xie Xiaozhou recovered a little bit of strength, and pushed the lid of the wooden box with his shoulder.Probably the villagers were not afraid of him escaping, they didn't even lock the box, and he pushed it open a gap.

Look out through the gap.

He is now in an ox cart, driven by a skinny old man, who should be the "village head" they call, and beside the ox cart are two young men wearing very exotic costumes.

As they walked forward, Xie Xiaozhou vaguely heard the sound of the rolling river.

No way.

The identity card that was drawn just now was like cannon fodder, and then without saying a word, he was about to die suddenly.

"The Bride of the River God" has not yet aired, but it has attracted the attention of many viewers because of its strong cast, high difficulty, and gathering of senior guests.

Now as soon as the broadcast started, the popularity continued to rise, and it came to the recommended position on the homepage all at once, attracting more viewers to click in.

[The broadcast is finally starting, let's go! 】

【Take a look at the front row first】

[No need to watch, there is Qiu Yue in this episode of the variety show, from the Actors Guild, who has participated in high-quality variety shows such as "Damn Today" and "I Heard Him Say". 】

【The filming of "The Bride of the River God" has started again?It seems that this variety show has been filmed three times, but none of the filming was completed, and almost half of the guests were filmed and all the guests were eliminated]

[I've heard of this, "The Bride of the River God" is one of the very few variety shows that only have female guests, and those who can participate are all beautiful sisters, hehe, I like it]

[All female guests?Wait...how did I see a guy? 】

On the screen, the perspective is divided into two parts.

Two-thirds of the focus is on the five female guests who are investigating the situation in the riverside village and talking to NPCs; the other third is on a young man curled up in a small wooden box. The slender eyelashes drooped down, looking cute and innocent.

[Ah ah ah ah ah Zhou Zhou? ? ? 】

[Why is Zhouzhou in this variety show?Isn't this variety show only female guests?How can he get in? ? ? 】

[What's going on, the program team made a mistake? 】

[Why didn't Zhou Zhou become a resident guest in campus variety shows?Qin Yuan next door is waiting for you every day! 】

【...Why do I smell a heartless person?】

[Wait, why did they throw Zhou Zhou into the river?No way, the death flag was triggered so soon?The show has just begun! 】

***

The head of the village driving the cattle stopped the cart and gave the young man a wink.

Xie Xiaozhou didn't want them to realize that he was awake, so he withdrew his hand to close the box.Sight fell to darkness again, but that sharpened other senses.

Two youths, one on the left and one on the right, picked up the box and threw it down.

boom!

The box hit the ground.

Xie Xiaozhou, who was packed inside, was shaken to pieces, finally stabilized, and felt someone dragging the box forward again.

No.

To save it.

But the medicinal effect of the aromatherapy is so good, Xie Xiaozhou is still weak in hands and feet, and can't escape at all.He took stock of his props.

The five yellow talismans are used to deal with ghosts. These are all human and have no effect.

A dagger, I guess I can't even pick it up now, no.

ID card... Forget it, it's useless at all.

Xie Xiaozhou opened a small gap again, and the light shone in, and floated to the tip of his nose with a smell of water.

He recovered a little bit, but he looked down at his wrist, it was white and thin, it was pure daydream to rely on this to escape from the hands of two strong men.

What's more, even if he ran, he couldn't run out of Hebian Village.But looking at them, it seems that only women are allowed to participate in the river god sacrifice.

In that case, even if he escaped for a while, he would die due to mission failure.

Xie Xiaozhou squeezed the button on his wrist, the more anxious he was, the calmer he became, now he not only needs to survive, but also to persuade these people to let him participate in the River God Festival.

At this time, he heard the two young men dragging the box talking.

"Sigh, I don't know if this river god sacrifice will be successful."

"That's right, this is already the fourth time. There are so many female dolls, why can't the River God choose any of them!"

"If it fails again, we don't know what crimes our village will suffer..."

Xie Xiaozhou listened for a while and got a general idea of ​​what they were talking about.

Hebian village has always had the custom of offering sacrifices to the god of the river. Once every ten years, a bride is presented each time, so that the god of the river will bless the next ten years with good weather.

In the past, the sacrifice was completed smoothly, but this year, for some reason, it failed three times. This is the fourth time. If it fails again, I am afraid that the river god will be angered.

The two young men were very worried.

This time, the village chief mixed in a boy among the people he recruited from outside, which resulted in the loss of one bride for the sacrifice, so a girl was selected from the village.

And they all have younger sisters of the right age, so they can't help worrying about getting their own.

Xie Xiaozhou had almost heard it, and the young people also came to the river with their boxes.

The current of the river is fast, I don't know its depth.

Even if you can swim, you may not be able to swim ashore if you fall, let alone Xie Xiaozhou, a landlubber.

If you fall, you will die.

There is only one chance.

Xie Xiaozhou lifted the coffin and said directly: "I know why your priests failed."

The two youths were taken aback. They turned their heads and saw Xie Xiaozhou lifted the lid of the box and leaned halfway to one side. The sunlight fell on his face, showing a jade-like luster.

The young people usually wandered around the countryside, and all they saw were rough guys. This was the first time they saw such a handsome young man, and they were stunned for a moment.

Xie Xiaozhou was not in a hurry, just looked at them quietly.

One of the taller youths reacted first: "What do you know? This is Hebian Village. If you talk nonsense, the River God will definitely not let you go!"

Xie Xiaozhou took it easy: "Is it true that the brides you choose every time are women?"

Another dark and thin youth nodded.

Xie Xiaozhou continued: "Did the four ceremonies be held this time without success?"

The black and thin young man was obviously more simple, and asked with a look of shock: "How do you know?"

Xie Xiaozhou: "..."

Because he heard it in the box.

Xie Xiaozhou knew that this was his only chance to persuade them, so he organized his wording: "Is it true that when the ceremony was held this year, those brides were reluctant, and some even wanted to run away?"

The black and thin young man was even more shocked: "How did you know again!?"

Xie Xiaozhou: Nonsense, it is estimated that all the guests participating in the river god sacrifice this year will definitely not want to die.

But he didn't show it on his face, but said slowly: "The reason why it failed is because the bride's heart is not sincere."

"They don't want to marry the river god. The river god is a god, so why would he accept an ungodly bride?"

After these words, even the tall young man was thoughtful: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Wait for your words!

Xie Xiaozhou: "Find someone who is willing to marry the River God."

Black and thin young man: "Then who would be willing?"

It was okay before, everyone was more superstitious, thinking that dedicating one's life to the gods was an honorable thing.But now that the economy has developed and the brain development has kept up, is it better to be alive than to be dead?

That's why the village head wanted to trick people back from the outside.

Xie Xiaozhou saw the worry of the young man and said, "Yes, I am."

Two young people: "?"

The black and thin youth said, "You are a man."

Xie Xiaozhou blinked his eyes: "What's wrong with the man? How do you know whether the River God is a man or a woman?"

Tall Youth Book says, "His gods are like men."

Xie Xiaozhou: "..." He choked out a sentence, "Maybe, the River God also wants to have a male bride for a change."

He gave a reason that the young people didn't want to refuse: "Let me go, and your village doesn't need to produce another female doll. And is there a rule in your village that only females can participate in the sacrifice?"

The two young men looked at each other.

They felt that what Xie Xiaozhou said was reasonable, but they didn't dare to make their own decisions, so they took Xie Xiaozhou back.

The village chief was sitting on the bullock cart, smoking a cigarette.Seeing the two young men coming back from a distance, they thought things were done, and were about to drive the ox cart back to the village when they saw Xie Xiaozhou who was still half lying in the box.

The village chief's face sank: "What's going on?"

The tall young man came out and repeated what Xie Xiaozhou said to the village chief.

When it was over, I added: "The village chief, I think what he said made sense. In this way, our village doesn't need to send out any more people."

The village chief frowned, and the frequency of smoking the pipe was greatly increased: "He said, he wants to be the bride of the river god?"

At this time, there are only two roads in front of Xie Xiaozhou.One is to run for the bride of the river god, and the other is to go to the river.

Of course he chose the former.

So Xie Xiaozhou's eyes were sincere, and he lied: "I want to serve the River God from the bottom of my heart, and I am devoted to the River God."

Those ginger eyes were black and white, full of water, no one would disbelieve what he said when they were stared at.

The village chief paused for a while, thinking back and forth about what Xie Xiaozhou said.

I have to say, it does make sense.Besides, not allowing men to participate is just a habit that has been handed down, and there is no clear record.Anyway, I have failed three times before, and this time may not succeed, why not... try.

The village chief exhaled a mouthful of smoke rings, and made up his mind: "Bring him along."

【Zhouzhou, do you think what you said sounds familiar? ? ? 】

[I've heard this!I know, I know]

[You can't use a line twice, Zhou Zhou, isn't that what you said?You forgot yourself! 】

【Won't your conscience hurt when you say such things?Clear porridge CP fans are in tears]

【Am I the only one who thinks this is more exciting?Zhou Zhou rushed the duck!Take the river god down for me too!Chaos Evil.jpg]

***

Riverside Village.

As the name suggests, the village sits by a river.I don't know if it's because it's too close to the water, but the village is extraordinarily humid, with a lingering smell of water.

But after smelling it for a long time, I got used to it.

The bullock cart moved forward along the Qingshi Road, the wheels rolled, leaving two long water marks on the ground, and finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

The village chief knocked on the cigarette stick and said, "You will live here for the next seven days."

The effect of the medicine on Xie Xiaozhou's body has disappeared. Hearing this, he couldn't wait to get out of the bullock cart, fearing that the village chief would regret it and let him go back to the river again.

The village head looked at Xie Xiaozhou's back, his eyes were a little tangled.

It's the first time to have a male bride, and I don't know if the River God will get angry, or... take him to meet the Lord River God first?

No way to send it to the river.

Xie Xiaozhou didn't know that he didn't escape the danger, so he stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard.

This place has probably been abandoned for a while, and the buildings are a little dilapidated.Opposite the door is the ancestral hall, which is where the guests stayed at the beginning.A row of rooms on the left and right are used to live in, and they look low, narrow, and dark.

Xie Xiaozhou took a look and found that the other rooms were already occupied, and the only vacant room was in a remote corner.

He had no choice but to enter this room.

But the outside looks dilapidated, but when you open the door, the inside is fairly clean.As soon as I entered, I saw a shrine facing the door, covered with a layer of red cloth, I don't know the appearance of the god enshrined inside.

It should be the river god.

Xie Xiaozhou felt that putting a god statue in the place where he slept was a bit too much for the underworld, but he didn't dare to touch it casually when he didn't know the situation.

So he walked over without squinting, and further inside, the bed was covered with a bright red quilt, which was full of dragons and phoenixes. It would be no problem to get married in the next second, which was incompatible with the gloomy atmosphere.

Xie Xiaozhou: I feel like this show is about women who were trafficked to Dashan.

Fighting wits with NPCs at the beginning of filming, Xie Xiaozhou was a little tired, so he sat by the bed and prepared to take a rest.

He didn't want to sleep at first, but for some reason, his head nodded, and he fell asleep in a daze.

wow——

A gust of wind blew gently, lifting a corner of the red cloth on the shrine, and the outline of the statue could be vaguely seen.

He is examining Xie Xiaozhou.

Examining the potential bride for him.

***

Xie Xiaozhou didn't rest for too long when he was called up.

Standing at the door was a girl with double ponytails. She had a round face and looked young. When she saw Xie Xiaozhou, she was surprised and said, "I didn't expect there to be a male guest?"

The tone of saying this is as if he saw some endangered creature.

Xie Xiaozhou was at a loss: "The male guest... what's wrong?"

The twintails became even more strange: "Why don't you know anything? "The Bride of the River God" is a variety show with only female guests. Is there something wrong?"

Xie Xiaozhou also couldn't figure it out: "It's an invitation letter from the program team."

The eyes of the twin ponytails were agile, and after looking at Xie Xiaozhou for a while, he waved his hands: "Forget it, I don't know anything from the way you look, have you not participated in several shows?"

Xie Xiaozhou: "Only once."

The pair of ponytails looked weird, and whispered to themselves: "One time, I don't think I'll live long." She asked again, "What ID card did you get?"

Xie Xiaozhou felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told him directly: "The photographer, it's an R card."

The two ponytails thought, the R card also has God of War, it might be some powerful identity card.

So he asked: "Do you have any skills?"

Xie Xiaozhou: "I have special shooting skills."

Twintails: "Huh?"

Xie Xiaozhou: "...that's my skill."

Double tail:"……"

She is not very old, but she is very powerful. After inquiring about Xie Xiaozhou's ability, she lost most of her interest in him.

Xie Xiaozhou also asked casually: "What about you, what ID card did you get?"

Twintails: "Witch." She became a little impatient, "Let's go, I'm just waiting for you!"

Xie Xiaozhou walked out, with ponytails urging anxiously, but he didn't notice that the red cloth on the shrine gradually darkened, as if it had been soaked by water.

The guests gathered at the gate.

There were already four people standing in the open space at the gate, all of them women.

The two ponytails walked cheerfully: "I brought people!"

Those people turned their heads at the same time, all of them were beautiful young ladies.

There is a long-legged elder sister in a leather jacket, a gentle elder sister with glasses, an elder sister with short hair and neat hair, and an... acquaintance.

Qiu Yue.

Xie Xiaozhou stopped in his tracks.Is it a coincidence that Qiu Yue is here, or... is there a conspiracy waiting for him?

What happened in "Seven Nights on Campus" made him understand that he had already formed an enmity with the organization behind He Lian and the others, and the other party would likely have follow-up actions.

Didn't expect it to come so soon.

He subconsciously rubbed the buttons on his wrist, and the buttons felt cool to the touch. Only then did he realize that this was no longer a campus reality show.

Qin Yuan is not here, and now he has to rely on himself.

Under the rules of the "Guest Rules", it is impossible for Qiu Yue to harm others openly, just be careful.

Xie Xiaozhou looked away.

Over there, in just a short moment, the twin tails "unintentionally" revealed that Xie Xiaozhou had only participated in a variety show once, and he had also drawn a waste R card. The sisters who were a little curious about him suddenly became colder.

This is not a friendly variety show, and no one wants to get too close to a waste oil bottle.

Seeing such a scene, Xie Xiaozhou didn't explain anything, and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose.

His luck was not very good, he didn't even get a good ID card once.

After all six guests arrived, the thin and wizened village head came out from the corner.

His eyes swept over the female guests present, grinning, showing his yellow teeth: "Come on, come to our riverside village, first go to the river temple to worship."

***

The river temple is built on the water's edge.

Not big, but the incense is at its peak.

On the way, the guests were talking.

"I've seen previous episodes of "The Bride of the River God". Although it was not fully filmed, it still has reference value-the past three episodes did not have this link."

"It's normal for the plot to change during filming, and it should be fine."

"The guests in the last three episodes were pretty miserable, we have to be careful."

The village head who was walking in front seemed not to have heard the conversation of the guests, and walked to the gate of the Heshen Temple. After bowing and paying respects, he turned his head and cleared his throat: "The Heshen Temple is wonderful, you all go in one by one. , I will come out after one obeisance."

Sister Glasses said: "There is a folk saying - if one person does not enter the temple, can we enter together?"

Hearing this, the village chief's face changed, his eyes instantly became stern, but in a blink of an eye he returned to his usual old grandfather's appearance: "We don't pay attention to this here, go in. Offer four sticks of incense, Burn four pieces of paper, and after worshiping, you can make a wish with the river god, maybe it will come true."

The guests looked at each other.

No one wants to go in first, but now that the NPCs have spoken, it is impossible to stay here.

In the end, it was Qiu Yue who spoke: "Let's draw lots to decide the order."

Qiu Yue is a senior guest and a member of the actor's guild. Others have heard of her name, so they should give her some face.

What's more, the lottery is fair and just, it all depends on luck, and there will be no dissatisfaction.

They made a plan at once, drew lots, and entered in whatever order they were drawn.

Everyone drew a note.

Twintails said, "I am the second."

The glasses sister said: "I am the sixth."

Qiu Yue spread her hands: "Third."

Xie Xiaozhou held the note, unfolded it, and saw "1" written on it.He didn't know whether it was Qiu Yue who did something wrong, or whether he was really that unlucky.

In order, you should go in.

Xie Xiaozhou was willing to admit defeat, and walked in directly. When passing by the long-legged sister, she suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Xie Xiaozhou was puzzled, looked over, and saw a yellow talisman stuffed in his hand.

The long-legged sister whispered, "Take it."

Twin Ponytails smiled and said, "Sister is so kind, give me one too."

The long-legged sister ignored the ponytails, and said to Xie Xiaozhou: "You are a newcomer, be careful, and run out if something goes wrong."

Xie Xiaozhou thought, probably the long-legged sister thought he was a newcomer, didn't get any salary, and didn't have any props on him.

Actually he has.

But the money is not revealed.

Xie Xiaozhou couldn't explain too much at this time, so he just said: "Thank you." Then he walked towards the Heshen Temple.

Before he walked in, he also heard Qiu Yue say: "A newcomer, if you waste a yellow talisman, it will cost 500 yuan."

The two ponytails echoed in a sweet voice: "Yes, yes, if you die, you will die. 500 salary is nothing, which is too generous."

Unexpectedly, the cold-looking long-legged sister said lightly: "It's one if you can live one."

***

Xie Xiaozhou didn't have time to feel that there are good people in this underworld variety show, so he walked into the Heshen Temple.

The Temple of the River receives incense all the year round, and it is full of smog.

Xie Xiaozhou looked up and saw that the statue of the river god was also covered with a layer of red cloth, and only a human silhouette could be seen.

Xie Xiaozhou: Could it be because the river god is too ugly?

Thinking of this, he picked up the incense prepared on the ground and lit it, and was about to insert it into the incense burner, when he suddenly thought of a word - three gods and four ghosts.

Three is a positive number, and four is a negative number.

Worshiping gods meets three times, and offering sacrifices to ghosts meets four times.

Is this the river god, or... the river ghost?

Xie Xiaozhou looked at the red cloth and didn't react until the incense ash fell on the back of his hand.

No matter what the hell, there's nothing good to come out of this underworld show anyway.

They are all feudal superstitions, and they all need to be broken!

As an atheist, Xie Xiaozhou was very disdainful in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all. He inserted the incense into the censer and burned four more yellow papers.

After finishing these, he was about to go out when suddenly a sandalwood scent penetrated into the tip of his nose.

Xie Xiaozhou's body swayed and fell into a very special state. Everything in front of his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, hazy and unreal.

In this state, he seemed to see a figure, but he didn't seem to see anything.

This……

He shook his head, trying to see clearly, but in vain.

"Say your wish."

A cold voice rang in his ears like a snake.

A desire surged up from the bottom of Xie Xiaozhou's heart, making him want to express the most longing thought in his heart.

he thinks……

he wants……

Just when Xie Xiaozhou was about to say something, a sudden coolness came from the button on his wrist, which made him startled and reacted.

This is a proper proposition.

Don't answer randomly.

The name of the show is "The Bride of the River God".

To choose a bride for the river god.

Now the person suspected of being the God of the River asked him what he wanted?

Isn't the answer obvious? !

Xie Xiaozhou has regained his sobriety, but he still pretended to be confused, and said slowly: "I want...to marry the River God."

"...to be the bride of the river god."

The author has something to say:

To get rid of feudal superstition ha.

[One person does not enter the temple] and [God three ghosts four] are both derived from folk customs, Baidu Encyclopedia found it!It's all fake, it's all fake, it's all fake, important things are said three times!
