Many of the children replied, "It's the one who just brought you here." ”

Jiang Yinchen asked, "Don't you want to play with him?"

He noticed that the kid named Xiaoxi just now actually wanted to play with them, but when Yue Qingli turned around to call him, the kid still ran away.

One child said, "Yes, but we can't play with Xiaoxi now." ”

"Why?"

"Because my mother said that Xiaoxi will be the child of Lord River God in the future, we can't play with him, otherwise we will offend Lord River God. ”

Jiang Yinchen asked, "Xiao Xi is the child chosen by the river god?"

The children all nodded.

Shu Yicai took out a few more gadgets and coaxed the children to go home and play first. After waiting until the children were gone, he said: "The children here just now said that they hold a sacrifice here every year, and the children who were selected as sacrifices last year are also children like Xiaoxi, who are liked by many people. ”

Yue Qingli suddenly couldn't figure it out: "Why are they all such liked children?"

Shu Yicai shook his head.

Jiang Yinchen said: "Qingli, how did you talk to that kid just now?"

Yue Qingli told Jiang Yinchen the details of what he had just talked to the child.

In the end, Jiang Yinchen said: "That kid seems to like you a lot, why don't you call him over?"

Yue Qingli was a little suspicious: "Why am I going?"

Shu Yicai said: "I also wanted to talk to the kid just now, but he didn't tell me personally at all, and before I got close to him, he ran away." ”

What he said was very helpless. Yue Qingli laughed all of a sudden.

Yue Qingli doesn't smile often, so it's not easy to see her laugh once.

Jiang Yinchen looked away after two glances, put his hand to his lips and coughed dryly: "That kid seems to like you very much, you can go." ”

Since the senior brother had spoken, Yue Qingli went.

But when I returned to the place where I saw Xiao Xi before, I didn't see Xiao Xi.

The children who were watching before were basically called back by their families. Yue Qingli walked around the village and didn't see anyone.

Jiang Yinchen and Shu Yicai followed her far behind, and after finding out that she had found someone, Jiang Yinchen went over and said, "The child is not there?"

Yue Qingli showed a trace of grievance on his face: "Well, it seems that there is already one." ”

After speaking, he asked, "Do you know where he lives?" Although Xiao Xi was not seen in the village, Yue Qingli thought that as long as he knew where Xiao Xi's home was, he could still go to his house to find him.

But looking at the appearance of Jiang Yinchen and Shu Yicai, the two of them must not know.

Shu Yicai said, "Wait for me later, I'll ask." ”

It turned out that when the three of them were looking for Xiaoxi in the village, a child saw them and was hiding to the side and secretly watching them.

Although Shu Yicai wanted to go over to find them, the group of children hurriedly ran away, but in the end, Shu Yicai took a gadget and kept the children.

The kid was only four or five years old, and he looked a little bit tiger-headed.

Shu Yicai gave him the little thing in his hand and asked him, "Do you know where Xiaoxi's home is?"

The child was probably still young and didn't know much about the things in the village, so he showed them the way without thinking: "It's over there, Brother Xiaoxi's house is there." ”
