The group decisively ended the matter. Should the old patriarch use his own grandchildren as mounts? This was a heartless act that went against the principles of heaven and human ethics.

Because the old patriarch walked slowly, Xia Yiqian and his group almost chatted past him.

About seven or eight minutes passed before Xia Yiqian and the others finally arrived at a nearby yard.

At this time, the entrance to the yard was surrounded by a crowd of people, making it impossible to get in or out.

When everyone saw the old team leader coming over, someone immediately shouted excitedly, "Chief, please find a way to save them. Their current behavior is really pitiful!"

"Yes, Chief! This disaster is caused by our failure to offer sacrifices to the river god this year.

It wasn't our family's turn this year, and my son shouldn't have to die for someone else!"

"Please ask the clan leader to help us and throw Li Taiping into the river immediately. Don't let this happen again!"

...The crying sounds in the room continued one after another, and this depressing atmosphere made people even more anxious.

The old patriarch frowned tightly, put his hands behind his back and walked into the house to see what was going on.

Xia Yiqian and the others didn't say anything polite and just followed the old team leader to squeeze in. The old patriarch walked in by himself, while the others pushed them and prevented them from squeezing in.

If the old patriarch had not been here and had not expressed any objection to them following him into the house, these people might have beaten Xia Yiqian and the others out.

As soon as Xia Yiqian entered the house, she smelled a strong smell of seaweed.

It tastes very fishy and salty, just like dried kelp.

When she followed the patriarch in, she found two particularly ugly people lying on the bed.

After seeing the faces of the two people clearly, her brows immediately frowned.

She knew these two people. They were the two who wanted to attack her when they stopped the sacrifice before.

Now the skin on the faces of these two people is no longer as smooth as yesterday. It is full of potholes, as if it was infested with barnacles, and looks particularly disgusting and eerie.

Several of her friends following behind her gasped.

Taoist Xuanyi frowned and asked, "Is this parasitic?

But that doesn't make sense. The one nearby is not suitable for Shanghai, so where did the barnacles come from? "

"It's a curse!"

There was no need for the program crew to ask, the old patriarch with his back to them spoke first.

“We once thought about rebelling against the river god, but every rebellion would come with a huge price.

Natural disasters, diseases, man-made disasters...

Now, the two of them have suffered backlash once again."

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the people in the program crew with cold eyes.

“I remember you said you could solve the problem, so I handed this matter over to you.

Now, two children in our tribe have become like this. Ultimately, it is all your fault for interrupting the sacrifice.

The problem could have been solved by sacrificing one life, yet they chose to sacrifice many others in order to appease the wrath of the river god."

The old man became angrier as he spoke, and when he looked at Xia Yiqian and the others, his eyes became even more unfriendly.

He said in a sinister tone: "Didn't you say you wanted to choose someone to sacrifice?

Okay, I promise you.

But before your people offer sacrifice, they must also tie up all their limbs like Li Taiping did, and then they can go down to the river.

Even so, will you agree?"

Everyone on the production team felt that the old man had more to say than what he said. But things had already reached this point, and they had no choice but to move forward.

Kong Yanqing immediately said, "The characters are fine."

The old patriarch got a satisfactory answer and nodded slightly.

"In that case, you should go back to the guesthouse first. Once we find something good, you and Li Taiping can offer sacrifices together."

When everyone heard that Li Taiping was going to be brought along, their faces immediately turned ugly.

Zhao Xun reminded him, "Li Taiping doesn't have to go with us, right?

There will probably be a fight then, and if he gets hurt, what will he do?"

The patriarch could probably guess what these people were thinking, and he sneered.

"Li Taiping is a member of our Li family. He has his own responsibilities. What does it have to do with you outsiders?

If you really think they look too miserable, then solve the problem right away!"

There is no point in saying too much to him. As long as the Li people in Li County can be safe and prosperous, other matters are not within his jurisdiction.

But if it comes to threatening the children of the Taoist soldiers, that’s another matter.
