The old woman continued: "Since the worship of the river god in the river, the girls of the village will get pregnant if they drink the water from the lake, and then they will give birth to children. ”

The four of them suddenly thought of what the uncle of the road had said before, the river water in the village, and the saying that a man can get pregnant if he drinks it.

Yue Qingli asked this question.

The old woman's gaze was a little cloudy, and she nodded after a long time.

The four of them still didn't understand, so they heard the grandmother say: "It's just that men are still different from women, if a woman drinks the river water, she will give birth to a child, but if a man drinks the river water, although she will also get pregnant, but the ...... will be born."

Speaking of this, the old grandmother's voice began to tremble: "That's a monster!"

The four of them were taken aback: "Monsters?"

The old grandmother nodded tremblingly: "It's a monster, it comes out of a man's belly, it doesn't look like a human at all, where can it be called a child?"

The four of them glanced at each other, and Jiang Yinchen said: "Grandma, we think that what you worship in this village is probably not the river god." ”

The old woman lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you know? Even if you don't know at first, who doesn't know after such a long time?"

Indeed, there is such a thing in the village, and everyone may not know what it is in a short time, but after a long time, everyone is not stupid, how can they not know?

The four of them glanced at each other, and they all saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Although everyone has encountered monsters in Willow Leaf City before, they have basically never fought each other. Yue Qingli fought against Mu Yao, no matter how high Mu Yao's ability was, he was still a mortal.

And Shu Yicai almost fought with Ruoshui, but unfortunately, he was also put down.

Therefore, during the entire trip to Willow Leaf City, although it seems that they have obtained the Phantom Void Ding, the process is still relatively simple, and there is no difficulty.

But this time it seems to be different, as long as this monster does not have an accident, then they definitely need to fight him.

The most exciting thing is that this monster doesn't look that weak.

Thinking of this, Shu Yicai is still quite happy, after all, if he can fight a turnaround, he will be able to prove himself well.

They asked the grandmother about the river god, and then they unanimously determined that it must be a monster impersonating.

But now they haven't seen any of them, and they don't know if the drought in the village has anything to do with it. However, I heard from the grandmother that a sacrifice was needed in two days.

The old grandmother's eyes were full of regret: "That's the child of the old Li family, he is only five years old today, and he looks very pleasing." On weekdays, many people in the village like him very much, but who knew that this time he was chosen as a sacrifice. ”

Yue Qingli asked, "How was the sacrifice decided?"

"How else to decide, it's up to Lord River God to decide. The old woman said.

"How does the river god decide?" Xuanrui was puzzled.

The old woman replied, "A month before the festival begins, the village will prepare some sacrifices such as cows and sheep and place them by the river, and then the river god will leave a mark to tell everyone which family has chosen to be sacrificed." ”

"Leave a mark?" Shu Yicai asked, "What kind of mark?"

"It's the child's birthday. Most of the children in our village are not born in one day, so they can be distinguished by their birthdays. ”

"Could someone be cheating?" asked Yue Qingli.

The old grandmother's eyes widened slightly: "It's not fake, isn't it? It's all in the same village, and you don't see you when you look up and look down on weekdays, how can you cheat? What's more, you have to sacrifice once a year, and the children of every family come in turn, how can you cheat?"

Hearing the grandmother say this, everyone stopped talking.

After all, they had just arrived in the village, and they didn't know anything, and they couldn't say anything.

So the four of them didn't say much.

It was already afternoon when they arrived, and after such a meal, it was completely dark.

The people in Yao Village all went to bed early, especially when they knocked on the door before, many of them hid in their homes, and they never came out after that. The four of them didn't plan to go out in a hurry.

I had already found a place to rest, and the grandmother also prepared hot water for them so that they could wash up a little.

Although I can't take a good bath, it's much better than the embarrassment of walking through the forest for a few days before.

The old grandmother went to rest first. After all four of them had washed up, they went to rest.

Although the grandmother's house is small, it can still vacate a room, so Yue Qingli and Xuanrui slept on the bed, Jiang Yinchen and Shu Yicai were a little aggrieved, so they made a bunk on the ground.

In order to make it easier for them to lay on the floor, the old grandmother took out a lot of quilts before, and it was still warm when she threw herself on the ground.

Nothing was said all night.

When Yue Qingli woke up the next day, he found that Jiang Yinchen and Shu Yicai were no longer there.

When she got up, Xuanrui turned over, still looking like she hadn't slept well.

She knew that it was also very hard for Xuanrui to follow them during this time, but no matter how hard it was, Xuanrui never said anything.

Although Yue Qingli knew that Xuanrui was so strong, she didn't expect that she could do this for herself, and she was quite grateful.

So when she got up, she tried to move as lightly as possible, so that she wouldn't disturb Xuanrui.

When she came out, she found that the sky was already bright, and there were voices from the village.

"Although the villagers are a little scared of the people who come from outside, as long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary, they won't drive you away easily. The old lady said from behind her.

As soon as Yue Qingli turned around, he saw the old woman behind him.

Although she is old, she can see that her grandmother is in good health. She went out early in the morning and came back with a lot of firewood.

Seeing this, Yue Qingli helped get some.

After helping the old grandmother get firewood, Yue Qingli walked towards the village.

She just asked the grandmother, only to learn that Jiang Yinchen went to the village after they got up.

As she walked past, many people in the village were secretly watching her, but when she noticed the peeking glances, they looked away in panic.

Yue Qingli walked around the village without seeing Jiang Yinchen and them, and couldn't help but doubt what the old grandmother said.

Just then, she heard the sound of children playing.

Although the villagers are very afraid of life, the children are basically innocent. Yue Qingli asked a child who watched her not leave.

"Do you know where the outsiders from the village have gone?"

When the child saw Yue Qingli taking the initiative to talk to him, he was immediately very happy: "I know, big sister, you follow me." ”

So saying, the boy jumped up and down to lead the way.

After Yue Qingli found out that she was talking to the child, the child who was also watching her next to her was immediately taken away by their mother.

One child was unwilling, was slapped by his mother, and then before he could cry, she covered his mouth and carried him away.

Although Yue Qingli didn't understand why this was the case, he could actually understand it when he thought about what they looked like when they first came yesterday.

However, she looked at the child who was leading the way in front of her, this child was only four or five years old, and he looked very cute, even in the outside world, this child should be the kind of person who is more liked.

The child ran to the back of the village with Yue Qingli, and gradually, Yue Qingli heard the laughter of children.

When I walked over, I saw that Jiang Yinchen and Shu Yicai were sitting and standing among the children.

Shu Yicai was holding a gadget in his hand, and many children surrounded them, their eyes full of envy.

At this point, the child stopped directly: "Big sister, they are there." The child said, pointing at her.

Yue Qingli thanked the child and walked towards Jiang Yinchen.

When she was halfway there, she noticed that Jiang Yinchen looked at her with a strange look.

Yue Qingli was a little stunned, only to realize that Jiang Yinchen was actually not looking at himself.

Following his gaze and looking behind him, he saw that the child who had brought her was still standing there, his eyes full of envy.

He obviously didn't expect Yue Qingli to stop, he was stunned, and then he saw Yue Qingli smiling at him and said, "Do you want to go with me." ”

Unexpectedly, the child shook his head and ran away.

But I didn't run very far, just around the corner before, and secretly looked this way.

Although he thought that he was hiding very hidden, in fact, according to Yue Qingli's ability, he could still easily find out.

However, considering that the child deliberately wanted to hide, Yue Qingli pretended not to see it and walked towards Jiang Yinchen.

"Senior brother, why did you come here early in the morning?"

The children who were originally around Shu Yicai saw her and raised their heads to look at her.

Yue Qingli was actually very used to other people's eyes, so he didn't care very much.

"If you wake up early and have nothing to do, just come over and have a look. Jiang Yinchen said.

Shu Yicai gave the gadgets in his hand to a child who had been staring at him, and then said to Yue Qingli with a smile: "Master, we couldn't bear to wake you up when we saw that you were all asleep. How did you sleep?"

Yue Qingli smiled: "It's good." ”

Then she noticed that the children had been looking at her with strange eyes, and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

When she talked to the child, although her voice was still a little cold, it was much softer. To the children, she will not feel too cold.

However, the children here still rarely see a woman like her on weekdays, and the older ones are slightly blushing.

A slightly older child boldly replied, "Sister, did you bring it with Xiaoxi?"

"Who is Xiaoxi?" asked Yue Qingli.
