"Every February 9th, the river god wakes up, and villagers on both sides of the river offer a large number of sacrifices to pray for the river god to calm down and protect the people on both sides from floods. However, this year is a leap year and the first month of the lunar calendar, so the river god sacrifice day on February 9th was moved forward to the ninth day of the first lunar month."
"If I had known that this year was a leap year, I would not have dared to cross the river to come here even if I was given a fortune!"
The boatman looked at the blood floating on the river and banged his head on the deck of the boat in fear: "Lord River God, please don't blame me. Next year I will offer you five bulls in exchange for my life. No... ten. Next year I will offer you ten bulls to honor you..."
The boatman kept begging the river god for mercy on the surface of the river, and even his subordinate Agou quickly knelt on the deck of the wooden boat and kowtowed continuously.
It is because every year the villagers on both sides of the strait throw a large number of livestock into the river and they are all eaten, that the villagers on both sides of the strait firmly believe in the river god and hold such grand sacrifices.
