When the man heard what the Suspense Taoist said, he tightly grasped the quilt on his thighs, his face flushed, and veins on his forehead throbbed. It was obvious that he was very excited.

"Do you think we don't want to?"

He was a bit desperate, "I shouldn't tell these things to outsiders like you, but I really want to live."

He said this with such sincerity that tears kept falling down his face, wetting a large area of ​​the quilt covering his thighs.

His voice was excited, almost hysterical, as if he was going to burn his boats.

“It’s not that we don’t want to leave, we Li people simply can’t leave Li County!

That river god is not a proper river god at all. He is a devil and a curse on our entire Li family. Sooner or later, he will devour us all!!!"

When Xia Yiqian and the others heard what he said, their expressions became very serious, and they even felt a hint of anger in their hearts towards these monsters who took human lives lightly.

How could this be a spontaneous sacrifice from Li County? It was clearly the so-called river god who wanted to keep the Li family captive on the riverbank and eat them year after year!

What kind of guy could be so crazy?!

Xia Yiqian looked at the very excited man, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly asked a question that made everyone present even more terrified.

"So the reason there are so many children in Li County is because they are providing food reserves for the so-called gods?"

"Hiss~" I don't know who started it, but a series of gasps of air were heard in the room.

Zhao Xun looked at Xia Yiqian with a complicated expression, "Can you please stop scaring me? This joke is not funny at all."

Xia Yiqian looked at him with a strange look in her eyes, not realizing that she was telling a joke at all.

“One person dies every year, and everyone has to be between 25 and 28 years old.

That is to say, if a person who lives to 25 years old dies every year, that means 25 people will die in 25 years.

How can we kill people if we don't have more children?"

Everyone present: ...

Why do I suddenly feel that Xia Yiqian is even more terrifying than the so-called river god?

This is the number, but no matter how you think about it, this question is outrageous.

But it also seems... terrifying when you think about it.

Facing the ugly expressions of the crowd, the man sitting on the bed chuckled, looked at Xia Yiqian in agreement and nodded.

"Yes, except for some high-ranking members of the tribe, other boys are born to be killed.

Our parents thought that none of us would live past 28 anyway, so they started having children desperately.

Because they have so many children, even if several are taken away as sacrifices, they still have many other children, so they will not be left without descendants and no one to take care of them in their old age."

When Taoist Xuanyi heard him say this, his face became distorted. "What did you just say that none of you Li family members can leave this place?"

Logically speaking, they all sensed an evil spirit. Although they didn't know what it was, that guy was definitely not as powerful as the mountain god in Wanfu Inn.

It is almost impossible to imprison a family for hundreds of years!

The man had said so much before, and now he was not afraid that the family secrets would be leaked, so he just went for broke.

"Whenever we, the Li family, wanted to leave Li County, we would inexplicably find ourselves in a thick fog, wandering around and around until we returned to Li County again.

But it can't be said that all members of the Li family cannot leave. The thing only restricts the men of the Li family, while the women of the Li family never try to stop it."

Without waiting for others to ask, the man smiled as if he was mocking himself.

"I have always felt that evil is alive, and even possesses intelligence no less than that of humans.

Otherwise, neither men nor women could leave, and there would be no way to trick others into coming in. Wouldn't the Li family have long since disappeared due to population decline? "

His words contained so much information that the faces of everyone present turned extremely ugly.

Bai Lingyu took a deep breath and asked in disbelief, "So you're still deceiving people from outside into the county, just to expand your tribe, to have more boys to sacrifice to the river gods, and to prevent your own children from being thrown into the river!?"

How could the Li family be so evil?

They themselves don't want to lose their loved ones, so do those innocent people who were deceived into coming here want to throw their children into the river?

How could there be someone in the world so selfish? ! !

The man saw that Bai Lingyu's fair face had begun to turn red due to anger, and he screamed vicissitudes of life and said: "Yes, as long as a girl who went out to college brings a girl into the village to marry a local, then the girl's family can be exempted from the sacrifice of one person.

As long as you bring an outsider back to the village, you can save your relatives. Why not do it?

And it doesn’t matter even if she had a good relationship with that outsider. After all, the one who died was not that outsider, but her son. Doesn’t that make it the same as if they didn’t kill him?

Who told the man who was tricked into coming here not to give birth to a daughter, and why didn't the daughter find a woman outside to marry into the village in exchange for their son's safety?"
