Chapter 511: By the Yellow River
Dark, silence, closed, cold, and blocked air. This is a small basement with six sides, dark and dull. There is no sign of five fingers. It seems that there is only endless dimness and silence. There is also some unpleasant smell in the air, like the smell of urine, or the smell of sweat, and some disgusting blood and rotten smell. In the darkness, two women are curled up in the corner of the wall.
The two women looked obviously a pair of sisters, with a similar face and delicate facial features, especially a pair of willow eyebrows. They looked very beautiful and looked very young. The older ones looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, while the younger ones seemed to have just reached fifteen or sixteen years old. The two sisters curled up in the dark corner, their faces were pale and their eyes were full of anxiety.
I don’t know if it was because of fear or the cold, the two sisters’ bodies were trembling slightly: “Sister, will we die? I’m so scared? Woo~~” In the darkness, the sister sobbed and asked.
The older girl also trembled when she heard this, and her expression showed great fear and uneasiness. However, when she saw her younger sister in her arms, she knew that she wanted to show strength at this time, and even if she was afraid and fear in her heart, she could not show it, because she was her sister's only spiritual pillar at this moment. Her lips moved and said comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's okay, don't be afraid, with her sister here, there will be no problem, don't worry, just treat it as a nightmare, which will pass soon..." She gently patted her sister's back, and said comforting her.
"But, but they said they wanted to marry us to the River God. I heard that marrying the River God will die. I am so scared. Woo, I don't want to die. Sister, I miss my father and mother. Woo, I'm so scared..."
In the darkness, the younger girl couldn't help but whimper, fear, fear, uneasiness... All kinds of emotions were filled with her heart. Although her sister was comforting her, she was not young, so she could naturally distinguish the situation. The older girl was silent when she heard this, with a sad expression and couldn't speak for a long time. Although she pretended to be strong, she was essentially just an eighteen-year-old girl.
"Sister, how are you doing with your father and mother? Are you aware of our situation? Come back to save us?" In the darkness, the younger girl sobbed for a while, and then asked her sister.
"Don't worry, we are missing, my father and mother must have discovered it. Now they are looking for us, they will definitely find us." The older girl spoke again when she heard the sound, with hope in her eyes. Thinking of her parents, a little hope ignited in her heart. This time, the four of them passed by this place, and her sister disappeared, and her parents would definitely find out soon.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope arose in the older girl's heart. The younger girl in her arms looked a little better when she heard this, and a look of hope arose in her eyes.
"Pu!" "Puu!" "..." In the dark silence, suddenly, clear footsteps sounded, like the sound of the soles of the shoe stepping on the bluestone slab.
In the darkness, the two girls whose emotions had stabilized slightly and felt nervous and frightened again when they smelled the footsteps: "Sister." The young girl looked at her sister in fear.
The latter also looked frightened, staring at the source of the sound at the door with restless eyes and tightly hugged the younger girl in his arms with both hands.
"Click!" It was like a sound of an iron lock opening. Then, the door was opened, and the eyes lit up instantly. A group of people walked in with torches.
The two sisters in the corner curled up in fear in an instant, and looked at the person who came in horror, especially the old woman in the leader who looked like a witch, with a scattered face and a scary eye socket. Behind the witch were some strong men dressed like ordinary residents, with seven people in total. A group of people walked in and looked at the two girls curled up in the corner.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, be obedient, come with me." The witch looked at the two girls in the corner, and a slightly creepy smile appeared on her thin face. She said kindly, walked over and stretched out her thin right hands to the two girls: "Come, go out with me."
"Where are you going to take us? What are you going to do?"
The two sisters looked at the witch in front of them nervously and a little afraid. The older sister spoke, and the witch smiled kindly when she heard this and continued to say softly.
"Come on, go out first, take a shower, have a meal, change your clothes, and let me tell you the rest later."
The two sisters flashed uneasy for a moment, but in the end, after thinking about it, they slowly stood up from the ground and followed the witch.
"Be good, this is a good kid."
When the witch saw the actions of the sisters, the smile on her face became more kind.
"Sister, isn't this the town last night?"
Looking out of the dark basement and looking at the surrounding scene, the younger girl could not help but change her face and said to the older girl beside her, because she recognized that the place in front of her was Fengluo Town, where they lived last night.
The older girl also changed her face. She naturally recognized the scene when she looked at the surroundings, but she didn't say anything, just looked around nervously.
At this time, four more women came to usher in the group.
"He Po." The four women walked up and called out to the witch, looking very respectful.
"Take them down to have dinner first and then take a shower and change clothes."
The witch nodded slightly, then said to the four women. The four of them nodded immediately and walked towards a yard with the two girls, and the men behind them followed closely.
The two girls did not dare to resist, so they could only follow the arrangements of these people nervously. First, they followed the four women to a spacious hall. The table was full of food, and the dishes were rich, and the table was full of chicken, duck, fish and meat. Although the two sisters were afraid of being uneasy, they did not dare to resist. After listening to these people's words, they ate, and were taken down by the four women to take a shower.
Finally, two more women brought in two new sets of clothes and changed into the two sisters, but the moment they changed their clothes, the faces of the sisters changed.
Because the clothes I changed into are bright red ancient bridal outfits!!
"Bridal makeup, what do you do for us wearing bridal makeup? What do you want to do?"
Suddenly, the two sisters were completely panicked, and they shouted at the women in front of them. When faced with the inquiry of the two sisters, most of the women were taciturn, but they looked at them calmly, but did not speak. Only one of the women smiled at the two sisters-
"Wearing bridal makeup, of course, is a marriage partner. The two girls are so pretty. Lord River God will definitely like it very much."
"River God, what river God?" The sisters' faces suddenly turned pale, and they looked at the woman in front of them in horror: "You must marry us to the river God."
Seeing the frightened look of the sisters, the smile on the woman's face became even stronger and said with a smile.
"We Fengluo Town worship the Lord of the River God for generations, and the Lord of the River God for generations have also blessed us Fengluo Town for generations. All the people in the town are proud to believe in the Lord of the River God. The two of them are so fond of being favored by the Lord of the River God this time, and are chosen as the wife of the Lord of the River God, and marry the Lord of the River God, and in the future, they will be able to serve the Lord of the River God forever. They should feel honored and trustworthy, so why are they so frightened and uneasy?"
"And the two marry the River God in exchange for the protection of the River God in Fengluo Town. The people in Fengluo Town will naturally be grateful to you and will never forget your great kindness."
"So, let's marry Lord River God with peace of mind, just treat it for our Fengluo Town, and we will always remember the kindness of our two."
The woman said with a smile, but the smile fell into the eyes of the sisters, which was extremely cold.
"No, no, no, I don't want to marry the river god, I don't want to...bang!"
With a loud bang, a woman was pushed down directly. The younger girl suddenly pushed down the woman beside her and rushed outside. However, as soon as she arrived at the door, she was directly blocked by two big men guarding the door. Seeing the girl struggling so hard, the big man looked angry and picked up the girl and smashed it to the ground.
"Bang!"
With a sound, the girl was directly hit on the ground. Because of the pain, she curled up into a ball, like a shrimp.
"younger sister!"
The older girl's face changed drastically when she saw this and rushed forward.
"You two should accept your fate obediently. You should feel honored to marry Lord River God. If you are not honest, don't blame us for being rude."
The woman who originally spoke first smiled when she saw this scene, but she still had a smile on her face that was as sarcastic as before.
"You guys stay here, look at them both, I'll go and see when will it start?"
Finally, the woman gave instructions to others and walked outside.
....................................................
"Bang—" "Bang bang!"..."
By the Yellow River, in the afternoon, two carriages slowly drove from the distant road to the ferry by the river.
"Master, father-in-law, we're here in the Yellow River."
On the carriage, near the ferry, Lin Tianqi grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage, and told Uncle Jiu and Xu's father in the carriage with him. Uncle Jiu and Xu's father also walked out of the carriage after hearing this. Later, he saw Lin Tianqi in front of him stopping, and Xu Dongsheng, who was driving another carriage, also stopped, and then got off the car with Xu Jie and Xu's mother and walked from behind.
"Master, father, senior brother." Xu Dongsheng called out to the three of them, and then walked up, Xu Jie and Xu's mother followed closely behind.
The group was Lin Tianqi, Jiu Uncle, Xu Jie, Xu Dongsheng and Xu's mother who were heading south from Lantian Town. At this time, it had been three days since the six people left Lantian Town and headed south. At this moment, they were just about to arrive by the Yellow River. Looking at the river surface more than a hundred meters wide in front of them, the six people were also blocked here.
"It seems that there is no bridge nearby. I have to find a boat. There is a ferry here. It seems that there should be a boat. Wait for a while and it will take a rest."
