I was entangled by the snake king

Chapter 4 004 Living Sacrifice
It is said that without this tigress following us, we are much more relaxed.

Soon, we were on the street, joining the grand priesthood.

I didn't expect that the priestly activity of "Snake Lord Marries a Wife" was very grand.

Men, women and children in the village are all dressed in local Chinese costumes, holding torches and flowers in their hands, and walking on the street.

Although it was in the middle of the night, it had a special flavor in it, and I also left the nightmare just now behind.

Excitedly, I raised the video recorder with night vision function in my hand and started shooting.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"The bride is here."

Then I saw everyone rushing over holding torches, throwing all the flowers in their hands onto the sedan chair.

I also ran over curiously, and with the sound of blowing, blowing, and blowing, I saw a big red sedan chair carried by eight strong men slowly approaching from a distance.

"Is there really a sedan chair? And it's the rumored eight-carrying sedan chair." I stepped forward happily and took a lot of photos.

When the sedan chair approached, I found a woman in a red wedding dress and a red hijab sitting inside.

Faintly, I could still hear the woman's low sobs.

"Is this a living person?"

I was stunned immediately, this snake king got married,
Soon, the red sedan chair walked past me.

"Yi Yi, why are you in a daze, hurry up and follow?"

Sister Gao on the side stretched out her elbow and touched my arm.

I dragged Sister Gao to sneak aside, and said in a low voice:

"Sister Gao, it seems that the bride is crying."

Sister Gao signaled me not to talk nonsense, just shoot and don't worry about anything else, otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one can afford it.

I clearly felt that there was something in Ms. Gao's words.

Soon, I followed the crowd to stand in front of the 'Snake Temple'.

At this time, the big red sedan chair was placed upright in front of the main entrance of the Snake Temple, and the torches in the hands of the villagers even illuminated the entrance of the Snake Temple like daytime.

I saw a white-haired old man about 70 years old standing in front of the temple gate of the Snake God Temple with a cane, and shouted "kneel" to the crowd, and then all the villagers in the village knelt down in unison. on the ground.

I froze in place at the time, not knowing what this meant.

Sister Gao at the side dragged me down behind her, and said in a low voice:

"Don't stand there stupidly, squat down quickly."

I asked Ms. Gao what does this mean?
Sister Gao told me to leave it alone, this is a local custom.

I half squatted on the ground, still couldn't help raising the camera to continue shooting.

Then all the villagers bowed to the big red sedan chair.

After three kowtows, none of the villagers raised their heads, and maintained a kneeling posture with a very pious appearance.

I don't know why, but at this moment, my heart became more and more flustered, and I always felt that something was not right here.

I couldn't help looking up secretly, and saw the bride slowly getting off the big red sedan chair.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, slightly lifted a corner of the red hijab, the bride just looked towards me, with tears on her face and a sad expression.

Immediately, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, and I stared blankly at her.

The red hijab fell down again, and the bride walked slowly towards the Snake Temple under the support of Xi Po.

I could see that this woman seemed unwilling to be the bride of the Snake Lord.

Then I saw the eight strong men who had just stepped into the sedan chair rushing directly to the front of the Snake Temple, and pulled the heavy gate shut.

At this time, the heart-piercing cries of the bride and the sound of beating on the door came from the house.

"Let me out, let me out, let me out."

"I don't want to be the bride of Lord Snake, I don't want to be the bride of Lord Snake."

"Please, let me out, I don't want to die."

All the people present turned a deaf ear and watched helplessly as the strong man locked the door.

I was a little surprised immediately, this meant locking the bride inside.

I was about to get up, but I was grabbed by Sister Gao who was beside me and said:

"Don't make trouble."

"Sister Gao, they..." I was about to say something when I suddenly heard:
"Li Cheng, avoid it."

Then the villagers all stood up, then turned and left in a hurry.

"Sister Gao, are they locking the bride inside?" I asked anxiously, but was dragged by Sister Gao to follow the crowd into the village.

"Don't worry about it, go back and talk about it first."

"But..." I wanted to say something, but I was glared at by Sister Gao viciously and said:

"If you want to live, shut up."

I was so frightened that I obediently dared not speak in an instant.

Soon, we returned to the residence, and everyone else had already returned, but everyone's faces were not very good.

Everyone sat in front of the Eight Immortals table in silence, and no one took the initiative to speak.

In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, so I stood up and asked:
"Director, are those people just locking the bride inside like this, and leaving it alone?"

The tigress, who had always been domineering, spoke very calmly this time:

"This is the girl's life, but anyone who is chosen to be the bride of the Snake Lord will basically never return."

"What?" I trembled, which meant,

So what is the difference between this and the ancient "Hebo Marriage"?
No wonder the girl cried so sadly.

At this time, I had mixed feelings in my heart. The little girl looked to be about the same size as me. It was a pity that she died like this at such a young age.

"They, this is a reckless disregard for human life, and it is against the law."

I suddenly had some emotional openings.

"One by one, don't get excited, there are only the Snake Lord they fear."

Sister Gao at the side patted my slightly trembling shoulders from behind.

"Sister Gao, you, did you already know about it?" I said slightly annoyed.

Sister Gao nodded helplessly and said:
"Actually, I've heard a little bit about their live sacrifice to the Snake King before, but I never knew the truth or falsehood. This time I have seen it."

"what."

I shook my body and looked at other colleagues. Everyone had an expression that I had heard about before.

So, I'm the only one who doesn't know.

I suddenly felt angry in my heart. I never thought that highly educated people like them would be so ignorant and cold-blooded that they would not save themselves.

Only at this time did Sister Gao tell the whole story about the 'Snake Lord's marriage' that she knew.

It turns out that the 'Snake King's Marriage' is not a paper doll or other vulgar things.

And it must be a young virgin between 15 years old and 20 years old.

Every year when offering sacrifices to Lord Snake, the village will vote to select the bride who will be sacrificed that year.

Every family that meets the age and standards must participate, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful to the snake king and will be punished by being bitten by ten thousand snakes.

And the selected woman will get a large amount of wealth in her family, which is an offering from everyone in the village to Lord Snake, which is equivalent to the current red envelope.

However, the woman was sent to the Snake Temple at night, after the cock crowed the next day.

At that time, the villagers said that this woman will serve the Snake Lord forever.

I suddenly felt chills in my heart, which meant that those small mounds on the mountain behind the snake temple were really tombs.

No wonder there are so many.

I'm afraid that in these years, the Snake Lord in the Snake Temple must have eaten a lot of little girls.
