With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

When Zhou Xing saw Gou Wa about to be dragged into the river, his heart was in his throat.

Without any hesitation, he rushed over, grabbed Gou Wa, and used all his strength to pull Gou Wa, who had half of his body fallen into the river, ashore.

After Gou Wa got ashore, his heart was pounding. If he had fallen into the water and been washed away by the river, he would have definitely died.

But he couldn't just watch the innocent little girl lose her life like that.

After bringing the little girl ashore, the villagers gathered around.

"You outsiders are too nosy!"

"If we miss the time, what will we do if the river god gets angry?!"

"Get these ignorant outsiders out of the way! Don't let them interfere with our business!"

A few more men tried to come over, grab the little girl and throw her back into the river.

But at this time, Gou Wa and Zhou Xing both protected the little girl firmly behind them.

Gou Wa's face was filled with anger, and he shouted at these people, "You are killing people! You are killing people!"

When they heard him shout the word "murder", the expressions on the villagers' faces changed.

Gou Wa continued, "These feudal superstitions are useless! There is no such thing as a river god in this world! There is no point in offering sacrifices to living people!"

When he said these words, the villagers obviously disagreed.

"How come it's useless! Have you never seen the power of the river god?"

"That's right! If we hadn't made the sacrifice last year, we would probably be the same as Sunjiazhuang next door!"

Speaking of this river god, no one had the slightest doubt.

Zhaojiazhuang here and Sunjiazhuang next door are both located in the lower reaches of the river.

There are always floods every summer, and in serious cases, houses will be submerged in water.

Zhaojiazhuang has always had the custom of sacrificing young girls to the river god, as they believe this can prevent floods.

The people of Zhaojiazhuang believed in the sacrifice because they found that the situation in their village would be much better every year when heavy rains and floods came.

Next door, Sunjiazhuang, which has never used virgins to sacrifice to the river god, suffers particularly severe floods every year.

Just like during this year's rainy season, the deepest water in their village was only up to their calves.

As for Sunjiazhuang next door, I heard that the deepest part is almost above the roof.

They firmly believed that this was the blessing of the river god. Otherwise, how could they explain why the flood only flooded the neighboring village but not their village?

Gou Wa became increasingly angry when he saw that these people simply wouldn't listen to reason.

He used to think that feudal superstition did not have much impact. Some people believed in it, while others did not, and it did not cause much harm.

Now I realize that this thing is really harmful! Feudal superstition is really unacceptable!

The old woman who was performing the shaman dance came over and pulled Gou Wa and Zhou Xing hard with her skinny hands.

"Get out of the way! If you anger the river god, you won't be able to afford the consequences!"

Gou Wa held the little girl tightly and refused to let go, but Zhou Xing had already tipped off.

He reached into the inside pocket of his clothes and found a round button in the pocket.

He pressed the button three times with force. He knew that his sister would come to help him soon!

This button was given to him by his sister. His sister said that if he was in trouble, he would know if he pressed it three times.

Although he didn't know the principle behind this, he would never doubt what his sister said.

The next second, a series of urgent ringtones rang in Zhou Yue's mind.

Zhou Yue suddenly became nervous. Oh no! My brother and the others must be in danger!

Zhou Yue bought this emergency button at a high price in the mall and asked her brother to carry it with him at all times.

After all, she and her brother are not together every minute, and sometimes they are separated.

I bought this button to ensure my brother's safety.

The next second, the image of her brother appeared in Zhou Yue's mind in real time.

I saw a group of villagers with ferocious looks on their faces, and they started pushing and shoving each other.

Zhou Yue was furious at what she saw, and she quickly understood the cause and effect of the incident through the system.

She had seen many simple and kind villagers along the way, but she didn't expect to meet so many stubborn, corrupt and unruly people today!

Things like sacrificing living people must be stopped!

Zhou Yue worked quickly and created an NPC wearing patched villager clothes and a common face with no memorable features.

At this time, the NPC ran to the vicinity of the camp, shouting loudly.

"Something happened! Something happened by the river!"

The soldiers who were sitting and resting suddenly became nervous when they heard this.

He shouted to the NPC, "My friend! What happened by the river?"

The NPC ran towards the river, shouting loudly.

"You guys should go quickly! Something serious has happened! Someone is going to die!"

Hearing that someone was going to die, the soldiers quickly got up and ran towards the river.

The soldiers reached the river at a very fast speed, and when they got there they saw a very infuriating scene.

An old woman and several men were trying to snatch a girl away, but Gou Wa held the girl tightly in his arms.

Unable to snatch the thing from him, these people punched him hard, each punch was so powerful that it looked painful.

Because Gou Wa was holding the girl, he had no chance to fight back at all.

Zhou Xing tried desperately to stop him, but it was useless and he was punched several times instead.

"Stop, stop it!"

Seeing their comrade-in-arms, who had been with them day and night, being beaten like this, the soldiers became angry and shouted loudly.

But these people seemed to be addicted and refused to stop.

Instructor Liu pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired a bullet into the air.

"boom!"

A shrill sound finally calmed down these frenzied villagers.

The villagers who were beating people stopped and, seeing that the people coming were carrying guns, they became afraid and hid in the crowd.

Several comrades went over and helped Gou Wa up, asking with concern.

"Gouba, are you okay?"

"What the hell is going on?!"

Gou Wa stood up and stared at the villagers.

"I'm fine. These people actually want to sacrifice these two girls to the river god! Throw them into the river and drown them!"

Hearing this, the soldiers all gasped.

They used to live in the countryside and of course had seen some feudal and superstitious things.

But I have never seen such excessive feudal superstition!

Although Zhou Yue lives in modern times, she has also seen feudal and superstitious things.

When my grandmother passed away, the village invited an old Taoist priest to perform a ritual.

There was a large mourning hall with incense and candles burning all the time. A Taoist priest was chanting something, as if he was praying for the souls of the dead to be reborn.

Although Zhou Yue felt it was a bit strange, she didn't reject it very much, even though she knew that there were probably no ghosts or gods in this world.

But holding a ritual to pray for the souls to be reborn will not cause any harm. On the contrary, it can bring some comfort to the hearts of the living.

Another time, Zhou Yue and her grandmother passed by a cemetery. After returning home, she felt hot all over and felt unwell.

So grandma filled half a bowl with water and put a pair of chopsticks in it.

The chopsticks actually stood upright in the water, so grandma used a kitchen knife to cut them in half.

After a few days, Zhou Yue got better. In fact, she thought it was just a sudden cold and had nothing to do with these ghosts and gods.

But grandma will feel better by doing this, and it is not a big deal.

Instructor Liu, who was usually good-tempered, frowned and asked the villagers.

"Who is the village chief here?"
