Chapter 2775 The Sacrificial Person
Xiaochi dragged Xi Yue forward excitedly.
What surprised and made Xi Yue uncomfortable was that she always felt that many eyes seemed to be on her.
You must know that her current appearance is covered up, and she will not look strange even if she is thrown in the crowd in the eyes of others, and it stands to reason that she will not attract others' attention at all.
Moreover, from these gazes, she did not feel amazed, only a kind of inquiry, curiosity, and even envy.
But when Xi Yue looked over, she found that the islanders were just smiling innocently, nothing unusual at all.
A cold light flashed across Ji Mingyu's eyes, but his expression remained unmoved.
"Xiaochi, Xi Yue, we are here! The location here is better! Come quickly!"
Qianqian's shout suddenly came from his ear.
Xi Yue crossed the crowd and came to where Qianqian was, only to find that the place was more lively, people were more gorgeously dressed, and there were more than a dozen people carrying six very gorgeous sedan chairs.
There is a man and a woman standing on both sides of the sedan chair. The man is wearing a bright red wedding dress, like a married bridegroom. The woman is older, also wearing a gorgeous dress, waving a fan in her hand, and smiling brightly.
The long line was heading towards the seaside cliff, and the hearty and joyful singing of the men could be heard along the way.
Qianqian couldn't help looking in the direction of the six sedan chairs, and asked Chen Dong curiously, "What's in there?"
Chen Dong said with a smile: "That is an offering to the Sea God. The man standing beside the sedan chair is the lucky one who is allowed to offer the offering, and the woman next to the sedan chair is the sacrificial woman."
Seeing Qianqian's confused expression, Chen Dong explained.
It turned out that only a few people were qualified to offer sacrifices to the Sea God during the annual fish festival on the island. And these people are usually islanders who have made great contributions to the island, and the sacrifices offered are of high value, so they are eligible to be sacrificers.
After the sacrifices are delivered to the altar, the god of the sea will take the sacrifices away, but the sedan chair will stay where it is, and the rewards given to the islanders by the god of the sea will be left in the sedan chair.
And the rewards given by the Sea God are often very rich and attractive, so everyone wants to be the one who is qualified to sacrifice.
Chen Dong pointed to one of the short and chubby men and said proudly: "That's my elder brother, because he caught the jade snow fish with his father, so he is eligible to be the sacrificer this year."
Chen Dong said that his face was full of longing and envy, and he glanced at Qianqian at the side again, the smile on his face became more honest and simple, "I will work harder in the future, I believe that when the fish festival is held next year, I will be able to be like big brother In that way, you will become a person who is qualified to sacrifice."
While speaking, Brother Chen Dong's sedan chair had already arrived in front of him, and Brother Chen Dong specially leaned a little to the side of the road to greet Chen Dong.
Qianqian couldn't help being curious, and reached out to push aside the curtain of the sedan chair, wanting to look inside.
Suddenly there was an angry shout in my ear: "What are you doing?!"
Before Qianqian could react, her body had been dragged back heavily, and she met Chen Dong's ferocious and furious expression as soon as she turned her head.
Qianqian was terrified, she never expected that Brother Chen, who has always been gentle and honest, would have such a violent side.
But that kind of violence was only for a moment, Chen Dong quickly recovered his gentle appearance, and explained: "The sacrifice is for the Lord Sea God. After entering the sedan chair, I and other mortals are not allowed to touch or look at it, otherwise it will be a disaster." Disrespect to Lord Seagod, the entire island will be punished."
