Chapter 297 This is the first time I've met such a domineering person.

The girl's face was pale and she was skinny, but her smile was sweet and lovely.

Yin Xiu curled his lips slightly, thinking that if Xiaoxiao grew up normally, she would probably be this age.

They were at the age when they should be as beautiful as flowers, but one was buried deep in the loess and the other was about to die. It made it difficult for him to turn a blind eye to the lives that were about to pass away.

"Do you want to live?" Yin Xiu asked softly.

"I do!" The girl nodded vigorously, then hesitated again. "But I have nowhere else to go except Hai Village. If I don't become a sacrifice, my brother will be one too. We are the only ones in the village without parents. If it's not me, it will have to be my brother."

She hesitated for a second, then shook her head, "I'd better not run away..." M..

Yin Xiu stared at her thoughtfully. "What if all the villagers are gone? Can you escape?"

The girl stared at Yin Xiu with wide eyes, obviously shocked by the amount of information Yin Xiu said.

Then she lowered her head dejectedly. "No... My brother and I were raised by the villagers, and I agreed to be sacrificed. They said that as long as I was sacrificed, everyone in Hai Village would be saved. I still can't leave."

"Thank you, brother, for being so kind as to come up and save me tonight. I'm going to go take one last look at my brother and then go back to the house."

Yin Xiu couldn't understand what this little girl was thinking. Maybe she was naive, or maybe she was trying to save the situation with a self-sacrificing spirit, but it was obvious that the people in Hai Village took advantage of her.

"It seems that you hope they can be saved?" Yin Xiu followed the girl and walked forward in the night.

"Although there are some very bad people in Hai Village, there are also some very good people. I don't want to save those very bad people as sacrifices. I want to be a sacrifice for those who are very good to me! I hope those who are very good to me will not starve to death here." The girl said it seriously. Obviously, she was not as naive as Yin Xiu thought, and she still had her own ideas.

"If you don't want to be a sacrifice, then don't do it." Yin Xiu crossed his arms and followed Ye Jia, looking into the distance. "I'll be the sacrifice for you."

"Ah?" Ye Jia turned around and stared at Yin Xiu intently. "Brother, you're quite good-looking, but your brain isn't very good. You're not even from Hai Village, so why are you being sacrificed on my behalf?"

As if thinking of something, Ye Jia frowned and said seriously with the look of a little adult: "Being a sacrifice will kill you!"

She looked serious, as if the naive person was Yin Xiu.

"I know." Yin Xiu pressed her head and turned her back, "I have my own plans."

He initially suspected that this was an illusion, merely presenting things from the past. But after meeting Yaya's mother, he vaguely felt that this space was not that simple. If everything happened in the past, then let him try and break the past.

The first person to become a sacrifice was Ye Jia, a native of Hai Village. If it were him, would he be able to see Li Mo at the beginning, before the Lian Xing was formed?

After thinking about it, Yin Xiu felt that this plan was feasible.

Ye Jia on the side stared at Yin Xiu with a complicated expression, as if he had already regarded Yin Xiu as a not-so-bright outsider.

Who would want to die for you the moment they meet you?

Following Ye Jia around the village, Yin Xiu met Ye Jia's younger brother, a little boy who looked timid as he squatted in a corner. His hair had not been cut for a long time, and his black hair hung down and blocked his eyes.

A small, thin ball huddled there, so dark that it almost blended into the night, but its eyes stared at Yin Xiu with particular vigilance. As soon as Yin Xiu approached, he shuddered violently, then jumped to the other side and hid.

"Sorry, my brother is a little shy." Ye Jia spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, and then stretched out his hand to beckon his brother, "Come here, this guy is not a bad guy."

The dark-skinned brother slowly crawled out from the corner and squatted beside Ye Jia without saying a word.

He looked like the less intelligent one, as if his socialization training was not good enough. There was a wildness in his every move, making him more like a wild beast than a little boy.

But Yin Xiu calculated his age and thought that perhaps his independent consciousness had just been formed when Haicun was killed. He had never been exposed to normal society and communication, which is why he became like this.

Even though Ye Jia said that Yin Xiu was not a threat, he never let down his guard.

After daybreak, a huge panic sounded in Hai Village, and someone howled in panic: "Oh no! The sacrifice! The sacrifice is lost!!"

"How can you three grown men be so incapable of looking after a little girl who hasn't eaten in days? You're useless!"

"Hurry up and find them! They can't leave Haicun! They must still be in Haicun!"

"I'll go look for her house first. She must have taken her brother with her when she left. You guys check every house to see if there's any house where they're hiding!"

The Hai Village was extremely lively because the sacrifice ceremony was going to be held tonight, but they lost the sacrifice. They had finally chosen a person who would not cause conflicts among the people of Hai Village as the sacrifice. Now that it was lost, they would be in even more trouble.

A flurry of hurried footsteps rushed to Yejia's shabby little wooden house and banged violently on the door. "Yejia! Are you in there?! Come out!"

"What did you promise us? You said you would be a good sacrifice! Come out now!"

"You bastard! How dare you sneak away! I'll break your legs if I catch you later!"

Accompanied by the man's angry roar, the door of the wooden house was pushed open with a creaky sound.

The person standing behind the door was not the girl they were familiar with, but a slightly unfamiliar and cold-blooded face that suddenly popped out from the crack of the door, scaring the man into breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you at Yejia's house?"

Another man quickly leaned over to whisper something in the man's ear, and he finally came to his senses. "Wow, you're the pretty boy they were talking about, the one who suddenly appeared from the sea? Why are you at Ye Jia's house? Did you let her out?"

Yin Xiu stood calmly at the door and nodded calmly, "It's me."

The other party was stunned by Yin Xiu's confession. This man committed a crime, but he didn't run or hide. Instead, he admitted it openly and confidently, which made the other party angry.

"Look, our Hai Village has been in trouble in the past two years. You think our people are easy to bully, right? We worked so hard to choose the sacrifice, and you just let it go! You want to die, right?"

The man opposite was furious. He was already furious because of the loss of the sacrifice, and now he met Yin Xiu, an expressionless and irritable man. He immediately raised the harpoon in his hand and stabbed Yin Xiu, cursing.

Before the harpoon could pierce through, the man was suddenly kicked out of the door and fell heavily to the ground, dizzy and dazed.

Yin Xiu stared at them with a cold face, "I'll sleep for a while and then come out to talk to you. Don't bother me."

Before the people on the ground could speak, he added grimly, "If you dare to knock on the door again, I will make your entire Hai Village a sacrifice."

Then he closed the door with a bang, leaving only silence for the two people at the door who looked at each other in confusion.

This... This Hai Village has existed for so many years, but this is the first time we have encountered such a domineering person.
