129. Punishment from the sea(2/3)
Liu Shoucai and Badou were busy on the shore, so although these people were fine, they all fainted because they inhaled too much water, so they were busy squeezed out all the water in the stomachs of those people.
After working for about twenty minutes, I finally watched those people wake up. As soon as they woke up, they all shivered in fear.
"Everyone doesn't have to be afraid. It's okay, go home! Leave the matter here to us."
"Thank you, Master, you are such a good person."
After thanking those people for their gratitude, Liu Shoucai and Badou also turned to look at the sea. The people also helped each other to leave. After waiting for a few minutes, Xiaobai also swam up from the sea, and behind Xiaobai, a dragon was still following.
"Xiaobai, how did you bring the dragon? Don't tell us that you want to eat it."
"Damn, do I have that heavy taste? Liu Shoucai, I'll work for you for nothing. Are you just treating me like this?"
As soon as Xiaobai got ashore, he became arrogant. Liu Shoucai sneered and ignored it, because Liu Shoucai knew that the more in this situation, Xiaobai became more arrogant. Instead of making Xiaobai unreasonable, it would be better to ignore it directly.
As expected, seeing that Liu Shoucai ignored him, Xiaobai's little pride in his heart instantly collapsed, and the momentum that had just happened to the dragon turned into flying smoke.
When Jiaolong saw Xiaobai being embarrassed in front of Liu Shoucai, he became more and more afraid of Liu Shoucai. How could he not be afraid if he had such a powerful master?
"Jiaolong, fortunately you didn't kill anyone this time, otherwise I wouldn't let you go this time. From now on, if you dare to harm others again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Liu Shoucai spoke to Jiaolong with a cold face. Jiaolong did not dare to resist, but just kept nodding in agreement.
"Master, I will never dare to do it again. I am willing to make peace with humans. In the future, when they go out to sea to catch fish, I will ask my subordinates to hide far away and will never disturb them."
"That's good. I hope you can remember what you said, otherwise I will never let you have a good time even if I chase you to the ends of the world."
"Yes, yes, yes, if the master, I will definitely remember it."
The dragon was sweating coldly. It did not expect Liu Shoucai to be so terrible, because the aura emitted by Liu Shoucai now made it feel very depressed, so it felt a fearful heart.
"By the way, let me tell you first, why do three water ghosts appear in the sea?"
"Those three water ghosts were actually caused by you humans to live in tragedy, and we did not make them like that."
Jiaolong thought that Liu Shoucai was going to settle the accounts with him, so he was so scared that he quickly told the whole story. Seeing Jiaolong was afraid of him, Liu Shoucai felt a little embarrassed. If it were the past, he would probably have to change his role.
"Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
"Ah! Actually, the family of three is also pitiful and miserable. Originally, they moved from outside the village, but the people here were too cautious and could not accommodate the three of them, so they stoned them and threw the bodies into the sea to feed the fish. But we would not eat that kind of thing, because they had resentment before they died, so they became water ghosts. They wanted to take revenge on those humans, and they really had nothing to do with us."
"It seems that the little water ghost is right. Could it be that we really misunderstood them?"
Liu Shoucai turned to look at Guigusong, and Guigusong just sighed, because Guigusong didn't know who to believe.
"Forget it, since it has nothing to do with you, then you go! Remember, don't make things difficult for humans in the future. You are a dragon and will sooner or later become a real dragon. If you do more evil now, you will be punished by heaven. If you suffer from heaven, you will never think of transforming into a dragon. Remember?"
"Yes, yes, remember, I remember what you said by Master."
"Okay, go quickly!"
Liu Shoucai waved his hand impatiently, and Jiaolong immediately fled with his men. As soon as the Jiaolong left, the sea surface returned to peace.
“Where are we going now?”
"Go into the village first! We also want to seek justice for the water ghost family. If they are really killed by the people in this village, then they are pitiful. We can't always favor humans!"
"That's right, let's go!"
Guigusong smiled. Xiaobai saw that no one paid attention to him and didn't want to go with him, but when he saw that everyone was walking away, it finally followed him angrily.
"Liu Shoucai, you are so cheating. Can't you see me?"
"Sorry, I really didn't see it. I've been busy talking about the Dragon and the Water Ghost just now. I ignored you for a while. Don't care. It's not the first time anyway."
"You...hum!"
Xiaobai was so angry that he was a little bit out of temper by Liu Shoucai. In fact, it was the case every time. Xiaobai was too lazy to bother with Liu Shoucai. Soon, everyone arrived at the entrance of the village. There were not many residents in the village, and there were only a hundred families.
"They are so poor!"
"Who said no, my ancestors have only lived by fishing for generations. How can they stay poor? I don't know why they are unwilling to go out and live?"
“The environment here is good!”
"Even if it's good, you have to live! You can relax here occasionally. If you live here all your life, you won't be frustrated to death."
Although Liu Shoucai also liked this place, if he had allowed him to live here for the rest of his life, he would rather have been here, after all, he would not be bound.
"Master, you are back. I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for your rescue, these people wouldn't be back."
As soon as Liu Shoucai and his friends entered the village, the village chief brought a group of people over. Seeing Liu Shoucai, the village chief immediately felt grateful.
"Village Chief, don't be polite. In fact, we didn't do anything. The dragon actually caught a few people to scare him because you hurt his concubine. He didn't mean to hurt you. If it really wanted to hurt you, then those who fell into the water just now would have died long ago, so how could we wait for us to save him?"
"That's right. We heard them say just now. They were retaliated because they accidentally hurt Jiaolong's concubine. But can we still go fishing in the sea in the future? Master, you also know that if we don't go into the sea, we really can't survive here."
"Don't worry, the village chief, that dragon said that when you go into the sea in the future, they will hide far away and will not be involved with you."
"This is the best. I really have to thank the master. Master, please sit down, I'll pour water for the master."
After the village chief took Liu Shoucai and the others to his home, he hurried to the kitchen to pour water. Liu Shoucai was not in a hurry to talk about the water ghost, and he was not in a hurry to leave here anyway.
"Village Chief, I want to ask, what happened to those three water ghosts? I heard from the dragon that it turned into a water ghost because it was killed by you. What happened?"
"this……"
The village chief's face changed. He didn't expect Liu Shoucai to ask about that matter. He had originally planned to forget it, but he didn't expect to remember it again.
"Missar, is there anything that cannot be said? Although the three water ghosts have been eliminated, you must let me know the causes and consequences! Otherwise, I really don't care about your village. If something happens in the future, don't look for me again."
"Oh! Forget it, I'll tell you, but this matter involves many people. In fact, the three of them have always been rejected by the people in the village. At that time, I took them in because of my kindness, but they were not grateful. They were always sneaking in the village. The people here are poor. After they were stolen by them a few times, several families were almost unable to live. The three of them were still lazy and didn't go out to fish. They were always gossiping. Later, the people in the village planned together.
, I was about to drive them away, but instead of driving them away, they injured several people. Because they injured people, the people in the village combined to kill them with stones, but no one killed anyone. Seeing that they were dead, everyone was panicked. In the end, I asked to throw their bodies into the sea to feed the fish, but who knew that they turned into water ghosts to take their lives. Alas! It was all caused by me. If I had not asked them to stay in the village at the beginning, so many things would not have happened."
The village chief sighed again as he spoke. Liu Shoucai understood it, but Liu Shoucai did not blame the village chief for this. After all, the village chief was kind enough to take them in, but they didn't do it well and even tried to die. So no one can blame him. If you want to blame him, it's better for him.
"Village Chief, don't blame yourself. I didn't intend to blame you. Since it's all theirs, there is no need for you to feel guilty about it. People are not satisfied with their elephants. No one can change this."
"Master, thank you for your comfort. I'm fine. It's just because of this incident that the people in our village no longer welcome outsiders. However, Master, you are exceptional. I believe that the villagers welcome you very much."
"Haha... Village Chief, you are polite. We also heard that there are water ghosts in the sea, so we came here. We didn't plan to stay here for a long time. We just wanted to subdue those monsters along the way, so we couldn't stay here forever."
"Will the master wait until the end of this month? We will hold a ten-year sacrificial activity in a while. I hope the master can stay and watch the fun together at that time."
"Then the relationship is good, I wonder what your sacrificial activities are?"
"The people here worship the Lord of the Sea God, so the sacrifices are also centered around the Lord of the Sea God. Every ten years of sacrifice, we will sacrifice the most beautiful girl in the village to Lord of the Sea God, and ask Lord of the Sea God to bless us with peace and happiness."
"What? How can you do this..."
Liu Shoucai was stunned. He didn't expect that there would be such sacrifices, which was obviously a waste of people! And where did the sea god come from? It's a sea monster. Liu Shoucai was determined to stop this kind of sacrifice activity that sacrificed human life in vain.
"The village chief, there is no sea god at all. There is a palace in the sea, but it is the palace of the dragon. It also admitted that there is no sea god at all. It is all imagined by you. Also, it has also said that whenever your sinking girls are drowned by the sea, the bodies are eaten by the fish, and those fish are caught and eaten by you, this is also indirectly letting you eat the woman's body. Alas! I really don't know what to say about you."
"What? This...how is this..."
The village chief's face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body seemed to have been drained. After three steps backwards, the village chief stood up straight, with only a look of vicissitudes.
"Oh! I didn't expect that it was like this. It was our ignorance. We killed so many poor girls in vain and pity my daughter. We were also chosen to be cast into the sea because of the sacrifice..."
"Village Chief, is this sacrifice passed down by your older generation? Who presided over the sacrificial activities?"
"This is passed down by our older generation. The sacrificial activities were chaired by each village chief, and I have presided over them three times."
"I'm sorry for those children, so let everyone disperse this sacrificial activity! Since I already know what happened, there is no need to kill those girls again."
"What the master said is, I'll tell the villagers first."
"Go! Tell them clearly so that you can't continue to be foolish."
Liu Shoucai sighed, the village chief nodded and went out. As soon as the village chief left, Gui Gusong sneered.
"Brother Guigu, what are you laughing at?"
"Brother Liu, have you really been deceived by that old guy? Judging from his appearance, he didn't give up at all. You didn't see him with a vicious expression on his face when he just turned around, and he seemed very unwilling to accept it."
"How could this happen? Could it be that this village chief still wants to be ahead of us and behind us? If this is the case, then I have to teach him a good lesson."
"Don't worry, let's find out the reason first."
"How about this, we secretly monitor him tonight."
Xiaobai also became interested. It liked the most about stealing things. Seeing Xiaobai Haba's appearance, Liu Shoucai burst out laughing and sprayed out the tea in his mouth.
"Damn, Liu Shoucai, you are so disgusting. Uncle Bai, I don't need to wash my face, and I'm just using your saliva."
Xiaobai wiped the water stains on his face angrily, and then stared at Liu Shoucai with a resentful look on his face. However, Liu Shoucai ignored it and continued to talk to Gui Gusong.
"Brother Guigu, do you think we should first look at the village chief's memory and see what happened to him before."
"Don't worry, if you know the result in advance, what's the point? Let's take it slowly and investigate it yourself first, what do you think."
"That's right, let's investigate separately! We'll come back to talk in detail in the evening."
"Yeah, let's go!"
Guigusong nodded and stood up and walked outside. Liu Shoucai and Badou also took action. After Xiaobai saw that they left, it did not leave the village chief's house and went directly to chat with the old hens raised by the village chief's house.
After the village chief left the house, he did not tell the villagers about the cancellation of the sacrificial activities because he felt resentful. If the sacrificial activities were cancelled, what's the point of being the village chief? His daughter was thrown into the sea and his great revenge had not been avenged yet, so how could he be willing to let go?
In this village, the village chief had already become tempted to kill the people in the village. He originally wanted to kill them by using the water ghost's hands, but he did not expect that Liu Shoucai and his group would come. This was something he never expected.
When the village chief thought of his daughter's death, the village chief couldn't help but feel ache, but when the village chief thought of the pleasure of revenge, the village chief tried hard to calm himself down.
