Chapter 589: The River God’s Bride x “Top Scholar” River God (8)
Yu Yan was standing a few steps away in a red dress, her expression as cold as ice.
This dress was specially bought by the village because the original owner wanted to offer sacrifices to the river god.
And now, looking at that familiar dress, they stepped back in fear, their faces filled with horror.
The whole person felt like he was nailed to the spot and couldn't even run away.
At this time, the village chief standing in the front noticed something wrong.
He pointed at the shadow under Yu Yan and said tremblingly: "You...are you alive?"
Yu Yan pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a weird smile, and said, "You can find a Taoist priest to take a look."
The village chief was choked by her words, then turned to look at Old Man Yu with hope in his eyes.
Old Man Yu snorted heavily and said nothing.
But his attitude said it all.
Yu Yan is still alive, not a ghost.
"So you're still alive, Yu girl! That's great."
The village chief finally reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp female voice came from the crowd.
"Shouldn't she be serving the river god? Why did she come back? What if the river god gets angry and it rains hard again? The rain has only stopped for a few days."
The person who said this was Old Lady Wu, who liked to argue with Old Lady Yu in the village.
She is the most sarcastic and likes to take advantage of others. More than half of the families in the village have been taken advantage of by her by acting like a spoiled brat.
Now that she said this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and the looks they gave Yu Yan became unclear.
Yes, Yu Yan is back, what if the river god gets angry?
She is the bride presented to the river god in their village!
Yu Yan glanced at her coldly and said, "Why can't I come back? Are you the only ones allowed to survive and I am not allowed to survive?
Even if the river god is angry, he will punish you selfish people. What does it have to do with me?"
Old Mrs. Wu's face turned pale and she subconsciously took a step back.
The other villagers also showed fear on their faces and did not dare to look at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan continued, "You people are really ridiculous. When you pushed me into the river to sacrifice to the river god, did you ever feel a bit guilty? Why, now that you see I'm still alive, you want to sacrifice to the river god again?"
Her voice was icy cold, and her eyes were full of indifference and ridicule, as if they could penetrate deep into everyone's heart.
Everyone present was silent, with shame on their faces.
Yes, they finally came back alive, how could they think like this?
At this time, the village chief stood up and spoke. His tone was sincere and firm, as if he wanted to express his determination.
"Yu girl, we are sorry for you in this matter. But don't worry, we won't do anything to you again. You can come back alive. This is your fate, and it is also the chance God gave you to live."
After the village chief finished speaking, several other older elders nodded in agreement, expressing their support for his point of view.
"The village chief is right. It's a good thing that you can come back. We won't do anything."
"Yes, yes, we are sorry for your family."
Yu Yan listened to them quietly without saying a word.
Old Mrs. Wu was not going to do this anymore.
She stood out from the crowd, walked to the front aggressively, widened her eyes, pointed at Yu Yan, and shouted: "You are already Lord River God's person, how can you come back? If you come back, Lord River God will definitely be angry, you are going to kill us!"
"Old Wu, keep your wife under control."
The village chief frowned, a look of displeasure appeared on his face. He turned around and spoke loudly to a thin, hunchbacked old man standing in the crowd.
When Old Man Wu heard this, he quickly walked over, grabbed his wife, and whispered, "What are you doing? Don't talk nonsense."
Mrs. Wu refused to give in and shouted at the top of her voice: "What did I say? I said the truth! If she comes back, she will kill us."
"You heartless person, you are talking nonsense here again, I will tear your mouth apart."
Old Mrs. Yu had just finished her meal and came out when she heard those words that hurt her so much that she was furious and could no longer bear it.
I saw her rushing out from behind angrily, her eyes wide open as if she wanted to eat someone.
"Great! Who was it I thought? It turns out to be you, old hag!"
Old lady Yu gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed old lady Wu's hair, and started fighting without saying a word.
"You black-hearted thing! It's fine that you like to throw tantrums and take advantage of our family on weekdays, but now you are so vicious that you want to force my precious granddaughter into a dead end! If I don't beat you to death today, I will take your last name."
While cursing, Old Lady Yu used all her strength to tear Old Lady Wu's hair and clothes.
Yu Yan on the side also reacted quickly. She knew that her grandmother was old, and would definitely suffer if she really fought with Mrs. Wu.
So she quickly stepped forward to separate the fight.
However, no one noticed that when Yu Yan was trying to stop the fight, she seemed to have grabbed Old Lady Yu's hand, but in fact she was secretly grabbing Old Lady Wu's arm, making it impossible for her to fight back and she could only take the beating.
In this way, Mrs. Wu was beaten so hard that she screamed and cried. There were scratches all over her face and body, and she looked extremely miserable.
