[Chapter 41 Chapter 368 The River God Marries a Wife (Infinite Flow) 5]
Since he had come all the way here, Geng Qing felt it was a pity to go back like this.
Just as I was hesitating, a strong wind blew from behind.
For a moment, dust flew and dead leaves whirled around.
The six people were all blinded and were blown to and fro by the strong wind.
When the strong wind passed and they came to their senses, they found that Geng Qing, who was in the front, had accidentally stepped over the stone tablet.
"Geng Qing you!"
Xiaopang was the first to notice something was wrong and couldn't help but exclaim.
As Xiaopang exclaimed, several people followed her gaze and saw Geng Qing standing inside the stone tablet.
A light breeze blew by, blowing up a dead leaf.
The scene was dead silent, and something was spreading silently.
Geng Qing swallowed slowly, and under everyone's focused gaze, he slowly raised his foot and stepped over the stone tablet.
When he returned to his friends, Geng Qing didn't show it on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"That's what I said, those are just legends, not true."
With Geng Qing's example before them, the strange panic that had been lingering in everyone's hearts finally disappeared.
"Then let's go in and take a look, but we still shouldn't go into the village. This poor mountain produces unruly people. Although it's not a poor mountain, the village is feudal and backward, so we should avoid any problems."
Lu Yajie stared at Geng Qing when she said this.
Geng Qing curled his lips, "What are you looking at me for?"
Lu Yajie curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Humph, what do I want to see you do? You know it very well."
Geng Qing snorted, but didn't say anything back.
The chubby cousin took a sip of water and glanced at the time.
"If you want to watch it, go now. If you finish watching it soon, we can go back and have lunch early."
“Go, go, go!”
Geng Qing threw his schoolbag and rushed out first.
The others followed behind her, their expressions and states were obviously more relaxed than before.
Wen Shinian walked slowly behind, and when he passed the stone tablet, a gust of wind blew silently from the stone tablet.
After walking for a few more minutes, a village finally appeared in front of the empty and barren wasteland.
In this technologically advanced era, the village still retains very primitive wooden houses with straw roofs.
They stopped only when they reached the village gate.
Geng Qing stretched his neck and leaned forward, trying to see what the village looked like.
Lu Yajie reached out and pulled her, saying unhappily, "Be careful, don't accidentally run in again."
Geng Qing scratched his face, "I know, I know, that was an accident."
Yu Ying: "The village has seen it too, shall we go now?"
Although she was unable to get in, Geng Qing was a little disappointed, but since everything had been agreed upon when she came, she wouldn't say much now.
So I agreed without hesitation, turned around and left with my bag on my back.
The accident happened at this moment.
"Catch them!! They must be the ones hiding Xiao He!"
Suddenly, many villagers holding sticks appeared at the entrance of the village.
The villagers stared at them fiercely and surrounded them all in a few minutes.
Geng Qing: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Geng Qing shrank back into the group, looking at the dark villagers surrounding them with a confused look on his face.
Yu Ying's face turned pale and she nervously grabbed the bag of her schoolbag.
Xiaopang sat close to his cousin, looking panicked.
Wen Shinian quietly squeezed into the group, looking at the villagers surrounding them with indifferent eyes.
As the oldest and most experienced of the group, the chubby cousin mustered up the courage to step forward and explain to the person who had just spoken, "Is there some misunderstanding? We just arrived here and haven't even set foot in your village."
"It's you! Xiao He was chosen as the Saint this year and was supposed to be sacrificed to the River God today, but you're missing!"
"She disappeared after you came!"
"Catch them! Catch them!"
“…”
The villagers who had arrived at some point surrounded them in three layers.
Geng Qing and his six companions were so frightened by the radical villagers that they couldn't utter a word. In the end, they could only be caught and taken into the village with pale faces.
"What should we do now? They've taken my phone and bag. Are we going to be left here?"
Geng Qing was crying and looked desperate.
When Xiaopang heard her voice, fear and panic filled his heart, so much so that his tone was filled with resentment when he spoke.
"It's all your fault. You said you couldn't come anymore, but you insisted on coming!"
Geng Qing was speechless because of the blame. She was already scared, and after hearing what Xiaopang said, she couldn't control herself and burst into tears.
When Xiaopang saw her crying, his expression changed and he turned his head away without saying anything.
Several people hung their heads, and an atmosphere of dead silence and despair continued to spread.
"Until I find Xiao He, you'd better stay here quietly. If you dare to run, I'll break your legs!"
The leading man glared at them fiercely, then left with the large group.
Geng Qing and the others didn't dare to speak until they left.
Wen Shinian looked around, then calmly stood up and moved to the window.
The room where they were locked up was filled with firewood and other miscellaneous items. The small windows were sealed with wooden boards, and they could only see outside through the gaps.
Wen Shinian squatted by the window and looked out through the small gap.
At this moment, a very soft cry came from behind.
Soon, it was like an infectious disease, with everyone crying one after another.
Wen Shinian was completely unaffected.
She kept twisting her shoulders and struggling with her wrists.
After a few movements, the rope tied around his wrist fell off.
Wen Shinian squatted down, hunched over and shrank back again.
She first walked to Lu Yajie, untied the rope on her wrist, and asked her to help untie the ropes of others.
"Don't cry yet. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to escape."
Wen Shinian frowned and looked at them, his expression very serious as he spoke.
Fatty said dejectedly, "It's so bright now, how can we escape? Besides, we don't have a cell phone. We're out in the middle of nowhere. Even if we do, how can we run?"
Wen Shinian glanced at her and said, "Then do nothing and wait for them to sacrifice us as substitutes to the river god?"
"What? Are we going to be sacrificed?" Lu Yajie was shocked.
Wen Shinian nodded and lowered his voice to explain to them, "You all heard what the villagers said just now. Xiaohe was chosen as the saint to be sacrificed, but Xiaohe ran away today."
"Xiao He ran away, so what?" Geng Qing sniffed.
Xiaopang suddenly remembered the story Wen Shinian told him in the car.
"Xiao He ran away. Even if they caught him, they would only kill him. And now they suspect that Xiao He's escape is related to us, so they will sacrifice us to the river god to ask for his forgiveness? Am I right?"
Wen Shinian nodded, "According to the development of that story, we are very likely to do so."
Everyone's face turned pale.
Yu Ying looked at Wen Shinian, who was still able to remain calm at this time, and subconsciously said: "Wen Shinian, aren't you afraid?"
Wen Shinian glanced at her when he heard that. "What's the point of being afraid? Can you escape just by being afraid?"
Yu Ying was silent, lowered her head and said nothing.
This is the truth, but Yu Ying still thinks Wen Shinian is weird.
