Poverty

Chapter 739 The child is hungry!Pious villagers!Wooden gods!

"What's your name?" Li Yanchu asked.

"My concubine is Lin Yalan." The woman said softly.

"Who were those people before? Why did they hunt you down?"

"My concubine is the wife of the young master Zhou's silk and satin village in the prefectural city of Jiangnan County. When I came back from my mother's house to visit relatives, I encountered bandits. All the servants who accompanied me were killed. Only I escaped with my children. I was caught up by them here, thanks to the Taoist priest for saving my life."

Lin Yalan said.

Li Yanchu had just glanced at Lin Yalan with the Qi Wang technique,
This woman is pure and pure, and she is a man of wealth and honor.
It's just that a streak of gray-white death energy surrounds her body, which indicates that there will be a bloody disaster.

Even if she met herself, the death energy in her body still didn't disappear.

Li Yanchu was also curious about what kind of thing caused this bloody disaster of Lin Yalan to be so severe.

But now that he is here, nothing will happen to Lin Yalan,
After Lin Yalan finished speaking, she carried the child and went aside to tidy up her clothes.

Li Yanchu was leaning against a big tree, thinking about something secretly.

He came to Jiangnan County this time because he wanted to find Gaobu Village and resolve the karma in him.

At least know who is asking for help,
Unexpectedly, there was no trace of Gaobu Village, as if it had never appeared before.

If there were not hundreds of ghosts who kept saying that they were from Gaobu Village,

Li Yanchu thought that the old man was lying to himself by pulling out a place name!
clap la la,
Lin Yalan cleaned up her face and hair briefly by the river.

Wet hair is printed on the body.

She was in a state of embarrassment before, but she still couldn't hide her beauty.

At this point, a brief summary,
It is white and tender, as if water can be squeezed out at once.

She seems to be a well-raised, graceful young woman.

Li Yanchu released his consciousness to search for the people at the foot of the Immortal Trace Mountain.

Soon, a village was found.

At this moment, the baby in the young woman's arms couldn't stop crying, her crying face was flushed, and she almost lost her breath.

"What's wrong with the kid?"

Li Yanchu turned his head and asked.

"The child is hungry and wants to nurse." Lin Yalan blushed.

"..." Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu walked away, leaving the young woman and child there.

The young woman opened her skirt, the sun was setting, and the white was shining...

After everything was over, Li Yanchu rushed to the village with Lin Yalan, who was blushing.

He wanted to look for clues to Gaobu Village again.

But as soon as he stepped into the village, he found that the village was empty and there was no one there!
"No way, did the people in this village disappear too?"

Li Yanchu frowned.

He came to Jiangnan County this time because he wanted to take a look around as the proprietress said, to see if he could find any special opportunities.

Therefore, the mentality is relatively stable.

Suddenly!

There was a sound in his ear, as if someone was talking about it.

The baby who was full was unusually quiet at this moment, and was held in Lin Yalan's arms, already falling asleep.

Li Yanchu and Lin Yalan, who was holding the baby in her arms, rushed to the village.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of gongs and drums.

Immediately, hundreds of villagers were seen kneeling on the ground,
Look devout.

There are lights and festoons everywhere in this open space, as if someone is getting married.

Li Yanchu took a look and found that what the villagers were kneeling was not a human being, but a deity with the head of a bull and four arms.

This deity is fully two feet high,
It's a wooden statue,

Wearing scarlet silk,
In front of him lay offerings and incense,
Standing next to her was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a cheongsam,

A bridal attire.

The girl burst into tears.

Li Yanchu noticed,

There was a couple in the crowd who quietly looked up at the girl with sad expressions.

A middle-aged man in his 40s read a sacrificial oration loudly,
Li Yanchu heard a general idea from the sacrificial text,
Just bragging!
Mostly it means that this bull-headed human body with four-armed gods will bless them with good weather, and they will give them to the gods to marry them!

At this time, the baby in Lin Yalan's arms woke up untimely, and suddenly burst into tears.

Many villagers turned their heads in unison.

In this solemn and nondescript wedding,

Suddenly there was a baby crying, which was very ear-piercing.

Lin Yalan quickly patted the child on the back, gently coaxing the child to sleep.

"Hi, Pindao would like to ask, does anyone know about Gaobu Village?"

Li Yanchu asked.

"Daoist, no one here has heard of Gaobu Village, and now there is a sacrifice in the village, I hope the Taoist will not disturb you."

The middle-aged man said slowly.

Li Yanchu nodded and stood aside.

And didn't say anything more.

After the middle-aged man had finished reciting the sacrificial oration, four or five strong young men lifted up the wooden sculpture of a bull-headed human body and four-armed god, and walked towards a temple in the village.

And the delicate girl followed behind,
Suddenly, the couple in the crowd ran over,

"Mr. Liu, Yingying is still young. She is only 13 years old. How can I, as a father, have the heart to give it to the temple god like this?"

The couple cried and stopped the procession, protecting the girl behind them.

The face of the middle-aged man who read the blessing suddenly darkened: "What are you talking about! Without the blessing of the temple god, how can the village be so smooth?
The temple god has taken a fancy to your daughter, this is your daughter's blessing! "

"Come on! Pull them away!"

The middle-aged man was quite polite to Li Yanchu, a young Taoist from a foreign country.

But speaking at this time, there is a feeling of domineering.

Two strong men walked out of the crowd and directly pulled the couple apart.

At this time, the father seemed to have a sudden burst of power, and pushed one of the strong men to the ground.
He shouted angrily: "To sacrifice to the temple god every year, it's not enough to demand so many tributes from us! I also need my daughter!"
I want Yingying, unless I die! "

The two strong men had big arms and round waists, but they didn't make a move right now, but looked at the middle-aged man,

The middle-aged man pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "Watch me fight!"

His tone is severe.

The two burly men looked at each other, then suddenly realized, they went up and punched and kicked the man.

After several punches, the girl's father vomited blood.

They didn't mean to stop,
The girl's mother desperately defended her man,

The girl also struggled and rushed over.

But none of the villagers present dared to speak out to stop them.

They looked at the wooden statue with awe in their eyes, and even looked at the middle-aged man with awe,

"stop!"

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but found that it was the handsome young Taoist from before.

Li Yanchu led Lin Yalan over slowly,
Lin Yalan held the baby in her arms and gently coaxed her, without a trace of panic on her face.

She has seen this Daoist Li's ability before,
Those gangsters were so fierce, they were all easily beheaded by him, and a bunch of villagers were naturally no problem.

It's just that the customs of this village are too weird, and the weirdness makes people feel a little unreasonable, ignorant and barbaric.

"Daoist, this is a matter of this village, I hope the Taoist will not interfere."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Li Yanchu smiled slightly.

He saw the middle-aged man secretly lighting a stick of incense in his hand,

As the incense was lit, the incense thread flew into the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the wooden statue,
The idol slowly opened its eyes...
