[Chapter 37 Chapter 364 The River God Marries a Wife (Infinite Flow) 1]
(I promised you the infinite flow before, I will try it in this world. It’s not good, so just make do with it.)
(Love you guys, muah ()~~~)
"Let me tell you, I heard there's an old fishing village near where we're going this time. I heard they sacrifice young girls to the river god every year to bless the village with good weather and a good harvest."
"It's fake. What era is this? There are still such harmful feudal customs."
The girl eating potato chips rolled her eyes in total disbelief.
The long-haired girl who brought up this topic chuckled, "Lu Yajie, could you please stop ruining the atmosphere!!"
Lu Yajie bit into the potato chips, and the crunching sound continued to be heard.
"Okay, okay, go ahead and tell me what you want."
Her perfunctory attitude made the long-haired girl so angry that she wanted to hit her.
"I won't say anymore!" The long-haired girl turned her head away angrily.
"If it's about the river god marrying a wife, I know that story."
At this time, the girl sitting by the window slowly closed the book in her hand, and her gentle voice sounded in the carriage.
When the long-haired girl heard this, her eyes lit up.
It was as if he had found a kindred spirit. He quickly stood up and sat down next to the girl.
"Niannian, you actually know that the River God gets married?!"
Wen Shinian's lips curved gently as he met the long-haired girl's sparkling eyes and nodded.
"Well, my grandma often told me about this when I was a child. If I remember correctly, the fishing village is indeed nearby."
When the long-haired girl heard this, she raised her eyebrows at Lu Yajie proudly, "Look, Nian Nian said yes."
Lu Yajie rolled her eyes again, "I didn't say you made it up."
The long-haired girl wanted to say something, but Wen Shinian's calm and unwavering voice continued to ring out.
"I heard that this custom is still being practiced. Just two years ago, an eighteen-year-old girl was sacrificed. However..."
Long-haired girl: "But what?"
"However, the girl was rescued by her lover on the way, and the sacrifice was thus interrupted. It seems that the fishing village also suffered the revenge of the river god that year."
The long-haired girl really didn't know, so she was particularly excited, "Hmm, then what?!"
Wen Shinian chuckled, "The fishing village didn't catch a single fish that year, and they later blamed the girl's parents for disrupting the sacrificial ceremony. During her absence, her parents were condemned and blamed by the villagers. The more extreme ones even left dead rats at their doorstep every day, and they were pelted with stones when they left their homes."
"The girl's mother couldn't stand the bullying and hanged herself one night. The girl's father woke up the next day and saw his wife's body. He also went crazy and searched the village all day for his wife and daughter."
"The village chief tried every possible way to contact the girl who had escaped. The girl couldn't bear it and wanted to take her mad father away, so she ran back with her lover on her back. However, upon reaching home, the girl was tied up by her father and handed over to the villagers."
"Oh my god, what kind of father is this! The girl is so stupid, she shouldn't have come back!"
When the long-haired girl heard this, she slapped her thigh angrily, but accidentally slapped it too hard and grimaced in pain.
She rubbed it while looking at Wen Shinian.
"What about the girl at the back? Was she sacrificed again?"
Wen Shinian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's not the case. She was simply buried alive by her own father."
The long-haired girl's eyes widened. "Fuck, this father is so cruel?"
"The girl's father was born and raised in the village. His roots are in the fishing village. If he is driven out of the village because of his daughter, it would be the end of him."
"He pretended to be crazy just to avoid being kicked out of the village. He didn't expect his daughter to come back, so he immediately kidnapped her the night she returned, intending to use this as a chance to stay in the village."
"That evening, a village meeting was held. Many villagers believed that the river god was angry and that the only way to appease the river god's wrath was to execute the escaped girl and then offer a new sacrifice."
"They did all this to make up for it, but the fishing results that year were still poor. I heard that many people starved to death. Many newborns died at birth due to malnutrition, and were then eaten by their starving families."
"Hiss—this…this must be their karma! What era is this? If you don't have money, you can leave the village to work. The ocean is so polluted now, the fish will definitely become fewer and fewer. When there are no fish, will they starve to death?"
"You've hit the nail on the head. People in the fishing village can't leave. Of course, people who enter the fishing village can't leave either."
Lu Yajie, who had been eavesdropping, raised her hand silently, "But didn't you say earlier that the girl escaped?"
Wen Shinian turned his head to look at her with a mysterious expression: "No, the girl didn't leave. She just hid with her lover. She is actually still in the fishing village."
"You just said that anyone who enters the fishing village cannot leave. Where is the girl's lover?"
"Oh, him. He disappeared after the girl died. The village is remote and there's no police, so naturally no one tracked his disappearance. He still hasn't been found, and the villagers are keeping silent about it."
"Is it true? How do you know so much?"
Lu Yajie raised her eyebrows and looked at Wen Shinian.
Wen Shinian tilted his head. "This, ah, is all what the elders in my family said. As for whether it's true or not, I'm not sure, but one thing is certain."
Wen Shinian's eyes swept over everyone in the car one by one, his gentle voice serious and earnest.
"Whether you're curious or just looking for adventure, you absolutely cannot enter this village."
Wen Shinian's tone was too serious. After he said this, the car fell silent for a moment.
The long-haired girl looked around and smiled, breaking the silence.
"Oh, it's just a story, don't be afraid."
Lu Yajie sat back down and took out another bag of potato chips from her schoolbag.
"I didn't expect that Wen Shinian, you look like a nerd, but you actually like these folk tales like Geng Qing."
Geng Qing is the girl with long hair.
Geng Qing rolled his eyes when he was called out.
"Unlike you, who only reads romance novels every day, what's so good about those industrial sweeteners?"
"It's better than these fake things of yours."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the two people sitting on the right had no choice but to persuade them.
Fat girl: "Tell me, you two grew up together, why do you love to quarrel so much?"
Purple-haired: "Fortunately, you are both girls. If you were a boy and a girl, you would be a pair of bickering lovers."
Geng Qing snorted, "This guy was the first to take the lead!"
Lu Yajie: "Idiot."
The two glared at each other at the same time, then turned away and ignored each other.
The fat girl and the purple-haired girl looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Wen Shinian looked at the two of them with a smile, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the girl who was sleeping by the window in the last row.
The girl is none other than Yu Ying, the heroine of this world.
Except for the girl with purple hair, everyone in their group is a graduate this year.
She was in the same dormitory with Lu Yajie, Geng Qing and Yu Ying. The fat girl was Geng Qing's friend, and the girl with purple hair was the fat girl's cousin.
When they decided to go on a graduation trip, the fat girl's cousin just resigned. When she heard that they were going on a graduation trip, she came along.
Wen Shinian glanced at Yu Ying's painful expression, then looked away and continued reading his book.
