Not only did the people on the program team think that this incident was extremely violent, but even the expressions on the faces of Li Xian's followers were frozen for a moment.
They have been using human sacrifices for so many years, but this is the first time they have seen the water automatically move away from them when a person is thrown into the water.
This is no longer a matter of whether the river god wants it or not, but rather that the river god hates the sacrifice and simply won’t accept it!
I’m afraid it’s not just a TV drama, even novels wouldn’t dare to write like this!
The patriarch's face was extremely dark.
After all, when he jumped into the water before the rain, he also rescued Li Taiping, which directly led to the flood not only failing to drown Xia Yiqian, but also failing to capture Li Taiping.
If the sacrificial ritual isn't completed, the two boys in their village won't be able to return to normal. How could this be possible?!
He walked forward with a dark face and said to Xia Yiqian, who was sitting in the open space in the river, with a very unfriendly look: "Let go of my hand!"
Xia Yiqian: ???
Xia Yiqian didn't understand what the old man meant at first, but then she followed the old man's gaze and saw Li Taiping sitting on the sand in the middle of the river, away from the water, with a confused look on his face.
He said calmly, "We are together, so of course we must sacrifice together."
Are you kidding? She hasn’t found out what that damn river god is yet, how can she throw away the bait of the river god?
What if the river god captures Li Taiping and he doesn't come out?
His Majesty the Patriarch's words distorted his features in anger, and his expression turned pale and blue. He wished he could rush up and pry Xia Yiqian's hands apart.
But this river water eats men, and no one in the county doesn't know it.
Who knows if the river god really only wants young and middle-aged men, or if he saw that he couldn't receive any sacrifices this year and didn't even let go of someone as old as him?
The old patriarch knew it clearly in his heart. He and the other strong men didn't dare to go into the river either. As long as Xia Yiqian didn't come out of the water, he really had no way to deal with her!
Xia Jiqian looked at the old patriarch and blinked twice, her heart full of confusion.
Could it be true, as Kong Yanqing said, that it is because she is too kind, so kind that she doesn't act like a goblin at all, that's why others are not afraid of her?
Otherwise, how to explain that the river god was obviously afraid of her, while the people of Li County who were afraid of the river god were not afraid of her at all?
Is she really too reasonable? Is this also a uniquely human virtue?
But she remembered that when she was in the palace before, the people in the palace were not like this!
Xia Yiqian had a lot of random thoughts in her mind, and then she simply stood up, holding Li Taiping in her hand and walked to the other side of the river.
The river water under his feet, which should have been waist-deep, immediately formed a vacuum zone around him with him as the center. There was no water at all until she reached the other side. The dry riverbed followed her to the other side and finally disappeared when she reached the shore.
Xia Yiqian: Outrageous JPG.
The patriarch was extremely angry when he saw Xia Yiqian took away the sacrifice.
But the moment the river flowed around Xia Yiqian, he already had some concerns in his heart.
This little girl might really have something on her, at least the river god can't get close to her.
But their river god sacrifice this time could not end here. The clan leader touched his chin and thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind and turned to look at Li Taiping's family.
"Since Li Taiping is unwilling to sacrifice, then let Li Taishun sacrifice according to the original plan!"
When Li Taiping's mother heard this, she was completely stunned. She sat on the ground and started crying while clapping her legs.
"Chief, you can't do this! Didn't we agree on this? As long as Li Taiping sacrifices himself, our Shunzi will not be implicated!
I have already given away a son, how can you ask our family to sacrifice another son this year?
Shunzi can’t go!”
If it is a small matter, this kind of middle-aged woman who is unreasonable and slaps her thighs may indeed be able to start the process by crying and making a fuss. After all, no one wants to mess with such a person.
But when it comes to matters of life and death, no one will indulge her. Seeing her trying to make trouble, the clan leader's face suddenly turned cold.
"I said that if your Taiping sacrificed himself, he wouldn't come looking for Taishun again, but now Li Taiping hasn't made any sacrifice, right?
It should have been your family's turn this year. Either you call Li Taiping back now to make the sacrifice, or you let your Li Taishun continue to complete the sacrifice!
It's no use trying to argue with me, you know the rules in our family!"
As he said this, he ignored Li Taiping's mother who was crying and gave a look to the strong men next to him.
The strong men immediately understood and took two steps at a time to pull Li Taishun towards the river.
How could Li Taiping's mother agree? She immediately hugged her son's thighs and shouted, "I don't care! I knocked Li Taiping unconscious and handed him over to you safely. You already took him in and it was your fault for not keeping a close eye on him. Go find whoever is responsible. How can you let our Shunzi be sacrificed again!?"
I won’t let you touch our Shunzi no matter what! This is against the rules!!!”
Nowadays, the Internet is everywhere. Even if you brainwash your children at home that "sacrifice to the river god is the highest honor", they will not believe it.
Naturally, many children were unwilling to be sacrificed and tried to escape.
Other families have also knocked out their unfavored children and handed them over to the patriarch as a payment, and the patriarch will never bother them again.
However, this is the first time that the people who were handed over were rescued again.
