Three copper coins, round on the outside and square on the inside, fall into the bowl, two heads and one tail.

This is because the two yangs connect to the yin, and the hexagram image is the kan.

"The auspicious time has come, let's see you off."

One person was playing a broken gong, and the word "farewell" was drawn out in a long tone.

As he shouted, there was no wind in the Hu River and the waves began to rise.

A strong man picked up a hatchet and cut off a finger-thick hemp rope. Immediately, a flat bamboo raft followed the waves and drifted away.

There was a woman on the bank who couldn't hold back her voice, howling loudly, lying on the ground, looking at the bamboo raft, her heart was like a knife.

However, at an altar, a man with a mustache in a Taoist robe suddenly showed an unhappy look and shouted: "Honoring the River God is your duty, why are you crying? If you offend the River God,

If the Lord is unhappy, can your family bear it?"

After he scolded her, several people immediately picked up the woman, tried to persuade her or covered her mouth, and took her away.

Then, there were the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums on the shore, and everyone bowed three times to the roaring waves of the Hu River.

In the churning water waves, the small bamboo rafts flew away with the waves. In just a moment, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

On top of the bamboo rafts, there were two altars, with pigs, cattle, sheep and three animals tied horizontally beside the altars, and a man and a woman were respectively placed in the altars, which are called human sacrifices.

"unlucky!"

In the jar on the left, a boy of sixteen or seventeen suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the swaying bamboo rafts, his tense heart was in his throat.

It is said that yesterday he came to this world out of nowhere. As soon as he came, he was washed and placed in the altar.

When I arrived, I was extremely weak. I couldn't even speak a word and couldn't communicate with others. I recovered a little today and unexpectedly encountered a "good and auspicious day".

When he was at the dock just now, he wanted to speak and persuade the villagers not to be so superstitious, but after seeing the countless eyes that wished they would be accepted by the river god immediately, he finally stopped the idea.

His name is [Jiangling], and he is an ordinary fresh graduate;

Yesterday afternoon, I felt tired while working in a drugstore, so I lay down on the table and wanted to rest for a while. I didn't even think about taking a break, so I woke up again and ended up here.

At this time, he has been replaced by a frail body. The original owner of this body also has the same name as him. He has an older brother and two poor parents. Because this place lives on water, there is a custom of offering sacrifices every three years.

This year it was the Jiang family's turn. His brother had twins and was reluctant to give them away, so his sister-in-law came up with a plan and let him act on his behalf.

As long as it does not reach the crown, it meets the standards of [sacrifice].

Without waiting for discussion with Jiang Ling, the eldest brother is like a father, so he decided with one word. He became this year's sacrificial boy.

Hiss~

Jiang Ling suddenly took a deep breath of cold air.

The soreness and numbness in his legs made him feel like he had lost control of his legs;

The only thing is that the wrists and ankles are tied with ropes, and there is not much space in the tank. Even if you want to stretch a little, you can't.

The wind and waves in the river were getting louder. If it weren't for the pigs, cattle and sheep tied to the bamboo rafts, the tank would have slipped into the water long ago.

boom!

Suddenly there was a muffled sound,

Jiang Ling raised his head and smashed it backward, hitting the wall of the tank.

Suddenly, his eyes bulged, his pupils turned black, and he almost fainted from the pain.

But he still gritted his teeth, and before he could stop, he hit the back hard again.

Cha~

The jar was broken after all, but his head was also bleeding. He had killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses, and a burning sting lingered in the back of his head.

He reached out and touched his back with difficulty, and luckily caught a piece of porcelain. He felt a little lucky. Then he grabbed the piece of porcelain and rubbed it on the rope on his wrist.

Although the porcelain piece was dull, it was the only thing he had to save himself at the moment.

Gulu~

About half a quarter of an hour later, a big wave came, and Jiang Ling heard the sound of the jar falling and being poured into the river.

Immediately afterwards, he also felt the world turned upside down. After a while, river water poured into his nasal cavity, and a stinging and uncomfortable feeling filled the top of his throat.

He opened his mouth and choked out, but was immediately poured into a large amount of river water. His eyes almost went black and he almost choked to death.

Because the tank was smashed by the back of his head, he fell out of the tank after several twists and turns, and was quickly swept away by the current.

In early spring of March, the water was flooding.

Facing the flood, the manpower was already very small, not to mention Jiangling's hands and feet were tied, so he had to go with the flow.

Caught in the undercurrent, he was hit by an unknown object before he could do anything. His face was bruised and bruised.

Fortunately, he kept cutting the rope and finally it became loose. His already thin hands suddenly gritted his teeth and successfully pulled out his right hand.

After escaping from the trap, he waved his arms wildly and used strength in the water. After rushing out of the water, he saw that he was approaching the shore. He hooked his hand and grabbed a tree root.

The ferocious flood rushed over him, and he was like a teetering kite, ready to fly away at any moment.

Driven by his survival instinct, he used all his strength to crawl along the roots of the tree to the shore, which was just over two meters long and lasted more than a quarter of an hour.

When he was exhausted, he finally climbed onto the water bank and leaned on the intertwined tree roots.

When he untied the rope around his leg, he saw a lot of blood flowing from the wounds on his body that had been cut by the debris in the undercurrent.

The most painful part is still the back of my head.

"That tank is so hard."

It's a pity that the girl in the next tank has been swept to where she is now.

Her abilities are really limited, and Jiang Ling really can't take care of her.

Although he has escaped from the flood at this time, looking at the many wounds on his body, if he does not seek medical treatment, he may not be able to survive for too long.

But if you want to find a doctor, you can only find a mountain road and return to the village.

But as a sacrifice, if he ran back again, the consequences could be imagined.

"What kind of place is this?"

Looking at a wound about an inch long on his thigh that was still bleeding, Jiang Ling gasped and muttered, "It would be great if I could have a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao."

There were so many wounds on his body that he couldn't press them with both hands, so he simply stopped pressing them.

As he spoke, he unconsciously drew a rough bottle pattern on the stone next to him with his bloody fingers.

Unexpectedly, after only three breaths, the pattern on the stone would actually appear radiant.

After just a blink of an eye, a small brown bottle suddenly appeared on the stone.

There is a label on the bottle, which says "Yunnan Baiyao" in four small characters.

Jiang Ling looked at the bottle of medicine and was stunned for a long time.

With a face full of astonishment, he thought that even such a thing as time travel had occurred, and this even more outrageous thing did not seem so difficult to accept.

Without thinking too much, he picked up the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and swallowed the safety tip with the river water.

Then the powder was poured on several larger wounds.
