Chapter 44: Disrespect for God Will Lead to God's Punishment
"Could you be..." After kneeling down, Yang Dazhou raised his head, looked left and right, and uttered a word that made Shen Ningwei speechless, "Could you be the messenger of the rain god?"
Dengguo Village believes in the culture of gods. In their myths and legends, there are also little gods who have become immortals at a young age. Therefore, everyone did not doubt him and knelt down to Shen Ningwei again.
Yang Dazhou knelt down and shouted, "Please ask the messenger to bring out the rain god for us and bless our Dengguo Village with good weather and good harvests."
After the initial shock, Shen Ningwei calmed down and confirmed that these people were human traffickers! These human traffickers thought of such a naive way because she was young, and wanted to kidnap Su Ming, who she had carried out.
"Okay." Shen Ningwei said casually. "Take him away."
The villagers were surprised and happy, and immediately picked up Su Ming and walked back to the village.
Shen Ningwei stood there and suddenly remembered that Chen Wanqiu had combed her hair this morning. Her mother died early, and it was too painful for others to comb her hair. No one had combed her hair for a long time.
She must be very sad to lose the baby that Chen Wanqiu regarded as her heart and soul.
After standing for a while, Shen Ningwei's feet were lifted up uncontrollably. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She said no in her heart, but her legs were still uncontrollably following the villagers.
"These human traffickers will definitely make you disabled. Maybe... they will dig out your eyes, cut off your tongue, or cut off your arms and hands."
"When you are scared to the point of peeing your pants, I will come out to save you." Shen Ningwei said to herself, checked the dagger and anti-wolf spray on her body, and followed the villagers to Dengguo Village with confidence.
Shen Ningwei was still a child after all, and she didn't have the accurate and terrible judgment later, and her physical fitness was much worse. When she arrived at Dengguo Village, it was already dark.
Shen Ningwei suddenly had a bad premonition.
That kid... wouldn't he have been disabled?
Shen Ningwei felt a little pity, but only a little. Anyway, she had only known the kid for one day. He was disabled, so what? At most, she could give their family a little more compensation.
Influenced by the environment she grew up in, Shen Ningwei was very indifferent to human life. She didn't think it was a big deal to kill someone.
Just as Shen Ningwei was about to go back, she caught a glimpse of a dazzling light.
Looking at the direction, it was not far ahead.
Shen Ningwei walked towards the light curiously, and soon saw a team of dozens of people marching on the street.
These people were wearing colorful costumes, holding torches in their hands, and shouting some blessings that others couldn't understand.
Shen Ningwei had seen it on the news. This is a special local culture called the Parade of Gods.
But...
Isn't today the day of the Parade of Gods?
No matter where in the country, the day of the Parade of Gods is set on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which has long passed.
Could it be that... the god in this Parade of Gods is not the god in traditional culture, but... Su Ming who was taken back by them?
How could that little devil be so worthy!
Shen Ningwei just thought it was absurd. He didn't believe that a newborn kid would be worshipped as a god by a group of villagers.
Soon, the procession reached the end, and everyone walked towards a temple. Shen Ningwei hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
When she walked into the temple, Shen Ningwei, who was originally full of doubts, was stunned. There was only astonishment, confusion, and... a trace of panic in her heart.
Su Ming was wrapped in yellow cloth and placed on the incense table, with incense burning around him.
Under the candlelight in the temple, the fair and delicate little face actually showed a look of compassion for the world, as if it was really a god descending to the world, making people feel pious and awed.
The villagers under the incense table knelt down one after another, and the bright yellow majesty on the incense table was even more inviolable. Shen Ningwei, who was hiding in the dark, actually had the idea of kneeling down with others. She didn't believe in gods, but the scene in front of her was really like a god descending to the world.
"A bunch of idiots." Shen Ningwei gritted her teeth and whispered.
Even if there is a god in this world, it will never be this little ghost!
"If you can't invite heavy rain in a while, I don't know if you will continue to worship."
Shen Ningwei glanced at the weather forecast. Not to mention today, there will be no rain in the next half month.
These people think that praying to Su Ming will make it rain? It's just a foolish dream.
She will just wait here to see the joke.
And Su Ming didn't care whether it would rain or not, because he found that after the incense was lit, his body actually changed.
It was a complex and subtle change. I don't know exactly where it changed, but I can feel that it is different from before.
It's like the wish power gathered by these incense has built a road to heaven.
Because he really has the ability to summon thunder and rain, Su Ming enjoys the sacrifices of these people with peace of mind. Since the incense is useful to him, why not enjoy it for a while, and then satisfy their wishes after enjoying enough?
Just when Su Ming was enjoying the incense in the world comfortably, the door of the temple was suddenly pushed open.
A boy in school uniform walked in carelessly and kicked over the candlestick beside the door. "It's not ancient times now, why are you still doing these superstitious things?"
The boy walked up to Li Dazhou and said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, don't do these superstitious things. The teacher has taught us that we should believe in science. My friend is coming to our house today. You should put away these superstitious things quickly, otherwise it will embarrass me."
"Asshole!" Li Dazhou was frightened and pale when his son pushed the door in. Hearing this, he was furious and slapped him directly, "You asshole! The parade cannot be interrupted halfway. If you anger the gods, the gods will bring disaster!"
Li Hao covered his face and pointed at Su Ming on the incense table and scolded, "What god? It's just a newborn kid. Can he bless you with rain? Don't be funny! Whether it rains or not is determined by the concentration of water vapor in the air. This is a natural law that no one can change. The last incident was just a coincidence. You are really ignorant!"
As he said, Li Hao was about to pull the yellow cloth on the incense table again, and the villagers were so scared that they quickly got up from the ground to stop him.
"No, no."
"Child, you will be punished by God for being disrespectful to the gods!"
Shen Ningwei stood at the back door and watched with interest.
She said she was waiting to see the excitement, but she didn't expect it to be such a big excitement.
It seems that there are still smart people in this village, who know that the little ghost on the case is not a god at all.
Shen Ningwei walked into the yard, looked up at the blue sky, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt very comfortable.
The weather is so good, there is no sign of rain at all.
