Su Li couldn’t take it anymore and slapped Miss Yan in the face, "Shut up and speak properly."
The slimy feeling on her hand made her disgusted, and she rubbed it repeatedly on her skirt, "You should tidy up your appearance first."
"Can’t the two of you even make yourselves a bit cleaner when pretending to be crazy?"
Miss Yan was provoked by Su Li’s disdainful action, her eyes reddened, making her look even more like a female ghost.
"If we weren’t like this, Zheng Wen duo wouldn’t believe it." Ms. Yan said with deep resentnt.
At this, Su Li felt a bit puzzled, "Why do you harbor such deep hatred for the village chief?"
Even if you bla him for sacrificing the children from the family, it was unavoidable to protect the village.
Not just the village chief’s children, but the children from other villagers faced the sa fate.
They should be hateful and blaful, but Su Li always felt Ms. Yan’s hatred towards the village chief contained more than that.
Ms. Yan suddenly laughed hysterically as if she heard sothing funny, with a strange look in her eyes, she said to Su Li, "Haven’t you realized?"
"Those two lads today."
Miss Yan interjected furiously, "The n in Zheng Family Village are not good people."
"What?"
Ms. Yan laughed darkly, "You’ll know eventually."
Before Su Li could react, the two crazy old won hurriedly opened the courtyard door and dashed out.
Su Li ground her teeth, feeling she had been too gentle when she slapped them.
At night, Xiao Tong returned with a bowl of custard.
He held the bowl anxiously and fearfully, as if he were holding his own life.
"Mom, Xiao Li said the River God isn’t actually that scary, she’s not afraid at all."
"Because she was given to the River God, her daddy ca ho these days to spend ti with her, she said these have been her happiest days, thinking about it she’s not scared. Besides, her dad also secretly told her that her mom will have another baby after she leaves, so her mom won’t be lonely."
Xiao Tong frowned, for the first ti venting his inner fear to Su Li, "Even though Xiao Li says that, I’m still very afraid."
But soon he gathered his courage and said, "But when I think that the River God will protect Zheng Family Village afterward, and mom will be okay, then I’m not afraid anymore."
Su Li asked, "Does Xiao Li’s dad often not stay at ho?"
The family matters in the village, the original owner had never been involved, perhaps her understanding of other villagers didn’t even surpass her own child’s.
Xiao Tong nodded, "Xiao Li told that a few years ago, her brother was also given to the River God, after that her dad rarely ca ho, and her mom cried every day."
Hearing Xiao Tong’s words, Su Li felt a strange feeling arise in her heart.
Her mind echoed the words Miss Yan said during the day, "The n in Zheng Family Village are not good people."
Xiao Li was just like Xiao Tong, chosen as a virgin offered to the River God, maybe because the two were about to face the sa fate, for the past few days Xiao Tong had been visiting Xiao Li’s house frequently.
Su Li asked a few more questions, seeing Xiao Tong’s ignorance, she decided not to inquire further.
Regardless of whether the n of Zheng Family Village were good or not, it wasn’t her concern, as long as she prevented this child from being eaten by the demon.
These past few days she had been preparing, confronting demons with a Mortal Body was absolutely impractical, she must unseal and fight with spiritual power, which would surely attract the attention of those Divine Monarchs.
And this wasn’t even the main thing, for her, the demon was just a small minion, what was important was what was behind the demon...
Once in a small world, she ate a Carp Spirit raw, which provoked the old one behind it, her power was almost entirely destroyed, and she nearly lost herself.
This ti...
Those Immortals and Gods... truly hard to describe.
Su Li sighed deeply, her eyes bursting with a strong fighting spirit, then let the battle comnce!
After coaxing Xiao Tong to sleep, she had just extinguished the candle when there was a "knock knock" on the door.
"Miss Su, are you asleep?" It was the voice of Lady Bai from next door.
Su Li rekindled the candle stand and got up to open the door for Lady Bai, "It’s so late, do you need sothing?"
Lady Bai’s expression was a bit unsightly, the fingers by her side trembled constantly.
No, actually her whole body was trembling.
Lady Bai looked at Su Li with a peculiar and inexplicable gaze, mysteriously saying, "Do you want to save Xiao Tong’s life? I have a way."
"Let in first, and I’ll tell you."
Su Li stepped aside, and Lady Bai walked in in a frenzy.
Her appearance at that mont looked very abnormal, and her aura was sowhat similar to the pair of mad old won, Ms. Yan.
"Speak, what’s your way?" Su Li asked.
Lady Bai wasn’t in a hurry to talk about that, instead indulging in her own thoughts, "I used to envy the relationship between you and Zheng Erlang, he was really good to you."
"But now I don’t think so anymore."
"The n of Zheng Family Village, not one of them has a conscience."
This was the second ti Su Li heard another woman say that the n of Zheng Family Village were not good, aside from Ms. Yan and her group.
"What did you discover?"
Lady Bai suddenly beca excited, "Today in town, I found a kid who looks very much like Xiao Tong, he was about five or six years old, very lively, his figure was almost as tall as Xiao Tong’s, even quite robust."
Su Li suddenly thought, a child of five or six years old, if counted, would be the year or two after the River God appeared.
The original owner’s husband only passed away two years ago, if you think carefully, you would find that during a year span, Zheng Erlang spent half of his ti working away.
Most of the n in the village were like this, relying solely on the fields couldn’t et the needs of tributes to the River God, the n in the village had to go out and work in their spare farming ti, the won and children stayed behind.
"We can steal that kid and swap with Xiao Tong, that way Xiao Tong would stay." As she said this, Lady Bai’s eyes showed a deep or elusive look.
"Do you know how I discovered this?" Lady Bai changed the topic too fast for Su Li to keep up.
"How did you discover it?"
"I followed my old man to town, and I saw him enter a small courtyard, inside there was a kid calling him dad.....and there were also Xu’s and Liao’s husbands."
The n in the village went out to work in groups, like Xu and Liao ntioned by Lady Bai, their children were also once given to the River God.
