C1 Blood Rain

First year of the Republic, late autumn.

Something strange had happened in Oblique Town. The town had been drenched in blood for three days straight. Everyone in the town was in a state of panic. They all felt that a disaster was about to happen.

In the servant room of Yu mansion, Ye Qingru had yet to wake up.

Something had crawled into her blanket. It was cold and slippery. It climbed up from the bottom to the top.

"What is it? Don't come over. Go away!" She was blind and couldn't see anything. Under the special tingling sensation, she screamed in fear.

Her fingers inadvertently touched its long and cold body. That thing was as thick as a bucket.

It was covered in dense scales, thick and hard.

It opened its mouth and even spoke human words, its voice cold and rough, "Blind woman, you called me something?"

"It" seemed to have taken human form in Qingru's dark world. Its skin was smooth, but its body temperature was cold as it grabbed her chin.

He...

He actually took human form!!

Ye Qingru's heart was filled with unspeakable fear, "You... Are you a demon? Snake demon?"

"I am injured and need you to help me heal. From today onwards, I am your husband. From now on, call me husband." The man hugged her thin and weak body, and his cold and tall body covered her.

Before long, she fainted from the intense pain.

The rain of blood continued to fall, and from time to time, a few bolts of lightning that tore through the sky would flash in the sky.

The silver lightning was rolling in the dark clouds, like a long and narrow silver dragon.

There was a local legend that said that there was a River God among the thousands of Qinghe. River God was the true dragon, but he had come to such a small river from the shallow waters of the dragon river.

Whenever people saw the flashing lightning, they would say that the River God in the river had shown his true form and was covered in rain.

In the courtyard, a few servants in the manor were looking at the faintly discernible lightning in the dark clouds and chatting.

"Every time there is a rain of blood, it is always Master River God's wedding day. It's been ten years since there's a rain of blood. I wonder which family's girl is going to suffer this time." The Eldest Servant Girl on the manor, Qiu Yun, sighed. The fishy smell of blood in the air made this Eldest Servant Girl, who loved cleanliness, furrow her brows slightly.

Aunt Feng, who was nicknamed "Big Granny," crossed her legs and said while chewing melon seeds, "I heard that River God Master only accepts virgins below sixteen years old. It has nothing to do with us since a long time ago. Why are you meddling in other people's business? If you are unlucky, it will be those young and tender girls who are unlucky."

"Speaking of which, Ye Qingru is young. She is just a blind little girl. Master River God does not like her."

Qiu Yun said with disdain.

Master River God might not even care if that lowlife wanted to send her to sacrifice to River God.

"Speaking of that wretched girl Ye Qingru, damn it, why hasn't she woken up yet? A huge mess of things waiting for her to do, she really can't change her lazy character." The old woman's voice was quite loud, and the entire courtyard could hear it clearly.

Ye Qingru, who was sleeping muddleheaded, heard it like thunder. She woke up a lot in her sleep.

She suddenly opened her eyes, but the world in front of her was still dark.

Ye Qingru was bitch from the Yu mansion's manor outside. Usually, when it was not bright, she would have to wake up to do some work.

If she did not do a good deed, she could teach the steward to beat her to death.

Even if she killed someone, it would only be a bag of straw mat thrown into the stinky ditch.

Ye Qingru was scared of being hit. She touched the corner of the bed and rushed out without caring about her shoes. "Sister Qiu Yun, Aunt Feng, I was wrong. I will go and do my work now. Don't be angry with the two of you."

She had long been used to doing work in the dark in this courtyard. She stumbled to the well to fetch water and used all her strength to lift the bucket up.

"Oh, so you are awake. You are hiding in the house and pretending to be dead." The old woman mocked and kicked the thin and weak Ye Qingru to the ground. "You still think that you are a noble of the Yehe family, right? Your Sister Qiu Yun and I will rise before dawn. You are just a lowly servant girl. You also slept until late in the morning like your master? "
