When all the Song family members objected, the old patriarch ignored everyone's objections and suddenly looked up at Xia Yiqian, "Can you guarantee success? Can everyone survive?"

The old patriarch has been the patriarch for so many years and is a perceptive man. Although the young man speaks the most among the group of people, the person who can actually make the decision should be the little girl in front of him.

Sometimes, among a group of capable people, the most capable one is the backbone.

If she can ensure that everyone is safe and sound, their Li family may give it a try!

Before Xia Yiqian could speak, Kong Yanqing became unhappy first.

He sneered and looked at the old patriarch with a bad look, "Aren't you being a little too unreasonable?

Let alone sacrifice, how can there be a 100% success rate for anything in this world?"

Even if you can reach your destination by walking a hundred meters on the road, how many people will be hit by a car and die the moment they cross the road, never to reach their destination, let alone such a dangerous thing?

There is a chance of something happening in everything in this world.

Although he knew in his heart that what Xia Yiqian proposed might not be certain, the old man's attitude was indeed unpleasant.

If Xia Yiqian agreed to him now, there was no guarantee that if something went wrong later, this guy would blame Xia Yiqian.

He didn't know what was happening to other people, but it would be easy for him and Xia Yiqian to leave here. There was no need for them to endure the humiliation of this old man.

The old patriarch was not angry at his attitude, but just pursed his lips tightly, feeling a little regretful.

He just asked with extravagant hopes. If the initial request was higher, the girl would definitely work harder, and maybe she would try her best to keep everyone in Li County safe!

It turns out that these people are not so easy to fool

"So what's your success rate?

You can't say that you want to sacrifice us all and then really let us all die to fulfill the river god's wish and let her fulfill her wish and reincarnate, right?

If that were the case, we would rather sacrifice one person a year."

Even if there is only 30% left, which can allow the Li family to get rid of the fear of the river god forever, he is willing to give it a try.

At least those 30% of people will no longer have any worries, will not be threatened by anything in the future, and can leave this remote place.

If all of Dai Ruo were to die, then this sacrifice would only benefit others and would not bring any benefit to the Li family. They would be crazy to agree to this!

Xia Yiqian raised her eyes and stared at the old patriarch who was still sitting on the ground. Even though it involved a matter of life and death, her tone remained calm, as if she were an emotionless robot.

"I can't promise you how many people will die, I can only say I will try my best.

This matter itself threatens you, the Li family. We are just offering to help. What rights do you have to us?

We can help or not. To put it bluntly, if a normal person wants our help, they would come to us and beg us, not hate them like you do."

Xia Yiqian's words were almost like saying that whether anyone dies or dies here has nothing to do with him, and it's good enough that he didn't make you beg him to solve the problem. Now you are still nagging here, be careful or I really won't care about you!

Xia Yiqian felt that she had been very restrained and did not say anything unpleasant.

But even so, although the words make sense, it always sounds very harsh to the ears of the person involved.

The Li family immediately became unhappy, and a woman in her forties immediately said angrily: "We didn't ask you to do this, you did it on your own accord!

If you're so unwilling, why don't you just not do it? We don't care about it!"

As soon as she said this, she immediately received responses from several people around her.

Xia Yiqian turned her head and first looked at the face of the woman who was speaking, and said lightly, "There are many horizontal lines crisscrossing on your forehead, and there are dark scars under your eyes. You will not be able to have children and will be childless for life.

Indeed, you have nothing to worry about.”

Everyone in Li County knew that the river god accepted young men as sacrifices. The woman had no children at home, which meant that she didn't need to sacrifice her own children. Of course, there was no problem if she didn't solve the problem.

As long as she threw one person into the river every year as usual, she could live a peaceful life.

When everyone realized this, they immediately retreated to the side, wishing they could be eight meters away from her.

They all have children. Considering their children's future, they have not yet made up their minds whether to perform rituals or not. They cannot be led astray!

The woman hadn't reacted much yet. Instead, a man next to her looked at Xia Yiqian in shock. He then cast a doubtful gaze on the woman, his voice trembling a little, "Are you saying that because this woman can't have children in this lifetime, that's why I've never had any children!?"

When the woman saw her husband's suspicious look, she became upset.

She glared at Xia Yiqian angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!? My husband and I are both healthy, how could we not have children?!?

I just stated a fact, why are you trying to sow discord?

I have never seen someone as vicious as you in my life!!!"
