Li Mo regained consciousness slowly, but found that he was not awake.
Catch the eye.
The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the simple bamboo building that seems to have grown out of the black land and the luxurious altar are particularly eye-catching.
The villagers gathered around the altar with faces full of numbness and confusion, the boys and girls who were howling after the anesthetic wore off, and the ugly big fish floating in the river with their bellies turned upside down.
Everything was reduced to black and white, even the blood of the dead 'River God' that had contaminated a large area of the lake.
"I... am I dreaming?"
Li Mo was deeply impressed by his experience that day.
He came to this riverside village and happened to witness a sacrifice.
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.
The people of the entire village depend on the harvest from this river to feed themselves and their families, but unfortunately, things happen unexpectedly, and the temper of this river is even weirder than that of God.
There would be wind and waves every other day, making it impossible to catch fish and people would often drown.
Occasionally, floods occur, submerging villages and towns.
Every time this happened, the villagers knew that the river god was angry.
At this time, the priest will lead the villagers to hold a sacrifice. This year the flood is particularly heavy, so only a large sacrifice can be held.
There, the family that draws the lot to offer a boy or girl is considered lucky, because the child of that family will enjoy happiness with the river god.
Parents will feed their children "soul-leaving medicine", dress them up carefully, and send them to the lotus platform...
Li Mo saw it clearly.
The river god who swallowed the lotus platform is clearly an ugly catfish!
He rushed into the water without hesitation and beat the catfish beast at the bottom of the river, causing it to vomit out the boys and girls, whose corpses floated to the surface of the river.
He killed the river god.
When he came ashore, all the villagers surrounded him, knelt on the ground in an orderly manner, trembling like quails waiting to be slaughtered, and shouted, "We have a new river god in our town."
"No kneeling!"
"There is no river god. I am not a god either. I am just a human like you!"
Li Mo shouted these words in a resounding voice.
However, what awaited him was not the villagers' sudden enlightenment or gratitude.
But.
"If you don't accept our offerings, why do you want to kill the River God?"
"When the river flooded originally, we all knew it was because the river god was angry. But if it floods again, how are we going to know the reason?"
"Yeah, if someone drowns, who are we going to worship?"
Angry, confused, and scared.
Almost drowned Li Mo...
At that moment, Xiao Li couldn't help but ask himself.
"Did I...do something wrong?"
He wanted to turn around and ask her, but found that there was no one behind him, and he was the only one left in the crowd.
Um?
"Why are you sweating so much?"
Ying Bing stared at the young man on her lap, her small hand brushing across his eyebrows, but unable to smooth out his frown.
Then I heard him mumbling to himself, as if he was talking in his sleep:
"Ice cube..."
Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cold face like the moonlight was stunned.
Did he dream about himself?
Or are you looking for yourself in a dream?
It was probably the latter. After all, it was rare to see someone as cheerful as him. His brows were furrowed so deeply, and there was even a hint of confusion and panic on his face.
He has never been like this before.
The girl's eyes were calm and gentle. She held his hand and whispered:
"I've always been here."
I don’t know if I heard this sentence.
Li Mo's brows relaxed, he stopped sweating, and his breathing became steady.
If at this time two little men, one black and one white, appeared again.
That probably means his brother's little black-clad man will have the upper hand.
Ying Bing grabbed his hand and couldn't help thinking so in her heart.
Time passes.
The sun is at noon.
Li Mo slowly opened his eyes and woke up, yawned, and felt that he had a very comfortable sleep.
I don't know what this pillow is made of, it's cool, soft and elastic, I will use this when I sleep from now on...
Um?
Li Mo smelled a familiar fragrance and looked up.
Therefore, a person who is truly as beautiful as a fairy is beautiful from all angles, and is breathtakingly beautiful even when viewed from below.
Her expression was calm and beautiful, and her clear eyes were staring into the distance.
“Snoring…”
Student Li quickly closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep again, or at least pretend to be asleep…
But the next moment.
A soft, boneless hand pinched his nose.
"Are you really asleep?" Ying Bing's little hand couldn't loosen at all.
“Snoring…”
"It seems that he really hasn't woken up yet."
"Hurulu...A-choo!"
Student Li, who was prepared to hold on to the end, suddenly felt an itch on the tip of his nose.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the hand that had pinched his nose just now had a few strands of soft black hair entwined around its fingertips.
Bingtuozi just attacked him with his hair.
"Awake?" She said with a half-smile.
"Yeah, I just woke up. What happened?"
"A bug crawled across your nose and I shooed it away."
"...Thank you."
Li Mo wiped his saliva and stood up, but his eyes couldn't help but pause. He saw an obvious wet spot on Bingtuozi's skirt.
The wetness even flowed down the thigh a little bit...
The Ming Jiao tribe is good at gathering water. He used to not drool when sleeping, but this is actually a side effect of being a Jiao...
Li Mo reached out and wiped her knees, then asked:
"Our next destination is Aoki Castle, right?"
"It should be."
"Then let's go."
