Chapter 570 The Abnormality Discovered by Liang Yi
Just as he was about to figure out why a fishing net appeared, he heard a strange noise coming from the shore nearby.
You should know that people in Xianxi Village are not allowed to go out on the nights when they worship the Dragon God.
Apart from him, he didn't know who else had broken the rules and ran out. For a moment, he didn't dare to act rashly and dived underwater.
In the pitch-black night, Liang Yi couldn't see anything at all.
But his hand was originally touching the fishing net, and then he felt the fishing net being pulled up.
When the noise on the shore disappeared, Liang Yi emerged from the water, taking deep breaths.
The man on the shore had disappeared long ago.
After Liang Yi got up from the river, he originally wanted to go look for it, but it was dark and he didn't bring any lighting, so he could only walk back in the dark.
When he got closer to the village, he turned around and saw a fire in the distance.
That was definitely not the light of a candle, but the light of someone burning something.
However, there was no other village near Xianxi Village, so it was definitely not burned by someone else.
Therefore, the only person who can burn things there is someone in the village.
After that, Liang Yi became cautious and would go to the river every now and then, and sometimes even to the river mouth, but he found nothing unusual.
At that time, he once doubted whether he had a dream and everything he saw was fake.
The answer is unknown.
Until a year ago, when he was worshipping the Dragon God again, Liang Yi became cautious.
That night, he deliberately lied to his family that he was not feeling well and went to bed first, but in fact he waited until everyone in the family fell asleep and then sneaked out.
Just like last time, Liang Yi went down the river and arrived near the river mouth.
He thought, since he couldn't find any breakthrough during normal times, there must be a breakthrough on the day of worship.
So he found a large patch of weeds, squatted down in it, and watched the burning lantern boats drifting down the river.
Then all the lantern boats stopped at the river mouth.
As expected, there were fishing nets here that blocked all the lantern boats, preventing them from gathering in the lake at all.
Although his thoughts were confirmed, Liang Yi did not feel happy at all.
This means that all the information he had received about the Dragon God since he was a child was wrong.
The Dragon God did not receive their prayers, or there was no Dragon God at all.
He was not an impulsive person, he just observed quietly in the bushes.
Afterwards, all the lantern boats were salvaged.
He looked towards the place where the salvage took place, but he could only see a dark shadow, and couldn't even make out the outline clearly.
After the lantern boats were extinguished, they seemed to be stuffed directly into a large net and dragged in another direction.
Liang Yi wanted to follow and take a look, but there was a river between them.
He could only jump into the water and wade across the river, then follow the dragging traces towards the place where the man left.
However, it was still too late. When he was halfway there, he saw a fire burning in the distance.
Judging from the location, Liang Yi roughly knew that it was a small piece of wasteland that had been struck by lightning in the past.
The wasteland was very dry and could not grow any crops, so it remained empty.
But no matter how Liang Yi looked, he could only see the flying flames and no human figures.
There was no choice but to go back.
Next is the sacrificial girl, in order to find out whether the sacrificial girl was taken away by the underwater dragon god.
During those few nights, Liang Yi sneaked out of the house many times and lay by the river to watch.
Finally, on the third night of the sacrifice to the girl at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Liang Yi saw a small boat coming to take the girl away.
They got from the bed to the other side of the lake, and after getting ashore, they walked in one direction.
So there was no Dragon God at all, and the girl was not accepted by the Dragon God.
Liang Yi wanted to know why the girl just followed someone, so he swam to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to check.
But they found that everything was gone and the tributes were also taken away.
He even smelled a very fragrant scent.
Liang Yi felt a little uncomfortable after smelling this fragrance for a long time.
He realized that there was something wrong with the fragrance and immediately left the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
No matter how he thought about this matter when he got back, he felt that he still had to tell his family.
But after he finished telling the story, his family insisted that Liang Yi was just dreaming, and told him that he must never slander the Dragon God like this, otherwise the punishment from the Dragon God would be something they could not bear.
He knew clearly that all this was fake. It had already shattered the cognition he had acquired since childhood, which made Liang Yi very uncomfortable. But no one believed him.
There was no way, Liang Yi could only keep this matter to himself.
He knew that if he publicized it widely, the person behind the scenes would definitely find out, and then he would be in trouble.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Xiuxiu was actually selected.
They are lovers, and although they haven't reached the stage of marriage yet, Liang Yi absolutely doesn't want Zhao Xiuxiu to be harmed by anyone.
None of those sacrificed girls had ever appeared again, and he couldn't allow this to happen.
When he tried to tell Zhao Xiuxiu with all his heart, he was met with doubt.
In fact, Zhao Xiuxiu had doubts in her heart, but on the one hand, there was the ideological education she had received since she was a child, and on the other hand, there was the words of the person she liked.
Although she thought that what Liang Yi said made sense, she couldn't help but feel that the Dragon God was real.
So there was a quarrel between the two of them, and even Liang Yi proposed to take her away directly but was rejected by her.
Now that there are still people who believe what he says, he doesn’t know what to say.
After listening to Liang Yi's story, Gu Chaoxi quickly grasped the key points.
"You said that there was a very fragrant smell in the pavilion in the middle of the lake?"
"Yes, it smells very good and very strong. I even felt sleepy after smelling it for a long time."
Liang Yi nodded.
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to support his chin, thinking that it was probably not a good thing.
Liang Yi saw the girl following someone obediently, and it was probably because of the fragrance.
It can make a grown man feel sleepy after smelling it. If a woman smells it, wouldn't she be even more at the mercy of others?
But, Xianxi Village doesn’t look like a place that has those high-end things?
Pei Yan took a deep breath and looked at Liang Yi: "Do you think that fragrance could have been caused by someone you know?"
"Acquaintance?" Liang Yi seemed to be thinking.
This kind of thing does not seem to be something that exists in their Xianxi Village.
"Dr. Zhao's house at the end of the village?" Liang Yi wondered.
In the entire village, he had only seen many strange things at Doctor Zhao's place.
However, the doctor was not born and raised in their village, so Liang Yi did not have much contact with him and only went back there when he was sick.
"Doctor?" Gu Chaoxi's eyes darkened.
It’s interesting that there is a doctor in such a remote village.
