Chapter 188 My God (13)
Chapter 188 My God (13)
The village had always chosen the god's bride by drawing lots.
According to the older generation, choosing a bride in this way is the will of the gods, and the lot will fall for whoever the gods favor.
Of course, it's not that there are no thresholds. For example, with Jiang Yu's appearance, she was excluded by the village chief when the bride of the god was first selected.
Because Jiang Yu's face was not pretty, it could even be said to be scary, and the village chief was afraid of angering the gods.
There are not many young men of marriageable age in the village. Most of them have moved to big cities because the village has become wealthy.
It just so happened that the village chief’s youngest son came back from college on vacation, so his name was naturally added.
Unexpectedly, this name that was added in temporarily was finally pulled out.
Any normal person, hearing that his son will be chosen as the bride of some god and must be pushed into the middle of the sea on a small boat, would probably oppose it with all his might, as it sounds like a direct death sentence.
But the village chief was not a normal person. When he knew that his youngest son was chosen, he just thought it was an instruction from God and that God was going to bestow blessings to protect his family.
This was such a great thing that he even wanted to buy two strings of firecrackers to set off.
Jiang Zicheng doesn't think so.
If you ask who is the richest person in the village, the first person that everyone thinks of is the village chief. Jiang Zicheng grew up in such a family.
He was also the first college student in the village.
There was only one primary school in the village. After Jiang Zicheng finished primary school in the village, he was sent to the town by the village chief to continue his junior high and high school studies.
He is a talented person, and with his education, it was natural for him to be admitted to university.
It was only after he went to school that he realized that what he did in his village was illegal.
Although people in other places believe in gods, they are never as extreme as the people in his village.
Sacrificing a living person will be despised by people, and the real gods will definitely not accept anyone sacrificing a living person.
Jiang Zicheng couldn't understand the village chief's crazy belief.
He began to feel tormented, between his father on one side and the law on the other.
This torment caused him to stay away from his hometown as an adult.
He thought, since so many lives had been sacrificed, it would be better to pretend that he had never known about this matter.
On the one hand, he deceived himself, and on the other hand, he accepted money exchanged for human lives to support himself in the big city.
He also knew that the money his father had was a huge sum of money in a big city with extremely high consumption.
When he was young, he naively believed that the money was really earned by his father's hard work. However, after gaining experience in the big city, he realized that such money could definitely not be earned in a small village.
So what my father said since childhood about exchanging a bride for wealth was true.
Almost in an instant he understood why when he went to a big city as a child and came home and asked his father to move to a prosperous place, his father would get angry and scold him.
He came back this time because home called to say that his mother was not feeling well and asked him to go back to see her. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter this sacrificial ceremony.
I didn't expect that he would be the one drawn this time.
In an instant, feelings of fear and terror surged into my heart.
He had only one thought, which was to escape!
So he escaped in the night when no one was prepared, without thinking about the consequences of doing so. He just wanted to save his life.
But he couldn't sleep all night, thinking that he was so willful, what if something bad really happened?
So after a while, he quietly returned to the village and learned that Jiang Yu had become his bride in the end. He felt that it was his escape that made another person bear the fate that should have belonged to him.
He was the one who harmed Jiang Yu, and he had to do something to ease the guilt in his heart.
In an instant, he remembered the legend that gods lived under the sea, so he decided to secretly find Jiang Yu. If Jiang Yu was alive, he must rescue him.
This is how Jiang Yu saw Jiang Zicheng at the bottom of the sea.
When Jiang Yu saw Jiang Zicheng approaching him, he was speechless for a moment.
"How did you come?"
Jiang Zicheng looked at Jiang Yu and said firmly: "I am here to save you. You must have been abused by that devil..." during this period of time.
Jiang Zicheng originally wanted to say this, but now that they were standing face to face, he could clearly see the changes in Jiang Yu.
The person in front of him looked not as thin as before. His originally pale and skinny face was now pale and rosy. He didn't look like he was being abused at all.
He swallowed his words halfway through.
"Nothing... nothing, I'm here to save you! Let's go quickly before that devil comes back!" After saying that, he wanted to grab Jiang Yu's wrist, but Jiang Yu dodged him.
Jiang Yu frowned and looked at Jiang Zicheng. So he ran away and then felt guilty and came back to save himself?
Then he just grasped the key point: "Demon? What demon?"
Jiang Zicheng looked a little anxious. The reason he could come to rescue him so smoothly this time was because he had a college classmate who knew a little about these things.
I had finally managed to get her to come and help. If we keep dragging our feet like this, it will be troublesome when that evil guy comes back.
"Of course the devil is the god of the sea. You should have seen her! She is not a real god. Come on..."
"impossible!"
He shouldn't have this attitude when someone remembered him and came to save him despite the danger.
But Jiang Yu didn't know why, but when he heard Jiang Zicheng say this about Bai Nian, he felt annoyed for no reason.
"I'm fine here, I'm not leaving, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Zicheng waving his hand, and then he felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.
Before he completely passed out, he heard Jiang Zicheng muttering with his head down, "I'm sorry, you must have been brainwashed by that devil, I have to save you and make you sober."
Jiang Yu: ...
Jiang Zicheng gritted his teeth, caught the fallen Jiang Yu, and started to return to the sea along the same path he came from.
He moved cautiously, trying not to draw unnecessary attention, as he knew that if they were discovered by this so-called underwater god, they might be in greater danger.
Little did he know that 099, who was holding a lunch box and starting to eat heartily at the back of the cave, suddenly turned around and saw the two of them leaving.
[Help! Host, someone has taken your partner away! ! ! ]
Bai Nian originally thought that Jiang Yu probably didn't want to see her, so she wanted to pick some herbs that could heal the scars on his face before Jiang Yu left. But when she heard 099's voice, her eyes suddenly became sharp.
【Didn't I ask you to protect him? 】
