[Chapter 45 Chapter 372 The River God Marries a Wife (Infinite Flow) 9]
"They are here, catch them!"
Xiaohe's father stood at the entrance of the alley, pointing at them against the light.
Even though Xiaohe's father's expression was not very clear, Xiaopang could still feel his urgency.
She couldn't help but swear and pulled Xiaohe to run again.
"Is your father sick? Are you not his biological daughter? Does he really want you to die?!"
Xiaopang was cursing, but Xiaohe lowered his head and said nothing, just following Xiaopang and running non-stop.
"Catch them quickly!"
Xiaopang took Xiaohe around the village for a long time, but they still couldn't find the way out of the village.
She asked Xiaohe to show her the way, but Xiaohe took her to the beach.
The empty reefs and the endless sea, in such a place, the two had nowhere to hide.
Xiaopang stared at the useless Xiaohe fiercely. Just as he was about to say something, Xiaohe finally raised his head which had been lowered.
She looked at Xiaopang apologetically and said softly, "I'm sorry, I hope you don't blame me."
"What?" Xiaopang was puzzled. He didn't understand why Xiaohe wanted to apologize to her for no reason.
But soon, she knew why.
Because just when the villagers were about to catch up with them, Xiaohe suddenly pushed her.
Xiaopang was completely defenseless against her. The push caused her steps to lose control and she fell heavily onto the reef.
"Hiss, it hurts, what are you doing?"
His knees hit the rocks hard, and the pain made Xiaopang shed tears.
"You bitches, I'll let you run! I'll let you run!"
The villagers who caught up with them pinned them down and beat them.
Xiaopang protected his head and cried out in pain after being beaten.
After the villagers vented their anger, they tied up the two men and brought them back to the village.
Xiao He didn't say a word along the way, until he was brought back to the sacrificial square. Then the silent person suddenly shouted.
"I didn't want to run! It was Qin Ling, she made me run!"
Qin Ling, also known as Xiaopang, looked at Xiaohe in disbelief after hearing what she said.
"What are you talking about!?"
Xiaohe turned around and looked at her with red eyes full of apology.
"It was Qin Ling who had been running with me. The man who took me away was also Qin Ling's friend!"
"I didn't want to run away. I knew my responsibilities. They forced me to leave!"
Xiaopang stared at Xiaohe. After being slandered, she was so angry that she forgot that rescuing Xiaohe was one of her tasks.
She retorted directly, "What do you mean my friend? He's obviously your lover, and now that the truth has been revealed, I saved you, and you're accusing me!"
"No! I've never been out of the village, how could I know any outsiders?"
"So I know you?! I've never left the village! And I was home the whole time until you ran away. I even had a heat stroke yesterday!"
Xiaopang and Xiaohe were arguing, and when the argument was getting intense, the village chief interrupted them with a harsh voice.
"Enough!" The village chief looked at the two of them seriously. Without even thinking, he quickly finalized the final solution. "I don't care which of you wants to escape. Today, you will all pay the price for running away!"
At the village chief's command, Xiaopang was picked up by two men and thrown into a deep pit.
Xiaopang's hands were tied behind his back, and when he was pushed down, he fell heavily into the mud pit.
She was hit hard on the head and was unconscious for a long time.
Before he could recover, something fell from the sky and landed on him.
She opened her eyes with difficulty and found that it was mud, which was still falling on her body.
“…No! I don’t want to die! I want to go home! I want to go home!!”
Guessing that he was going to be buried alive, Xiaopang struggled frantically.
Unfortunately, she didn't have Wen Shinian's ability. After struggling for a long time, not only did her hands get sore, but the hemp rope tied around her wrists remained motionless.
"I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to play anymore! I want to go out!"
"Dad, Mom! Save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!!"
Xiaopang roared in despair, but no matter how she begged for mercy, or even knelt down and cried to the villagers above, they did not stop shoveling the soil.
In a trance, Xiaopang saw a person.
As soon as the crying stopped, she shouted for help in surprise and surprise.

"Did you find it?"
Someone ran up and asked Yu Ying and the woman anxiously.
The woman shook her head. "No, I searched all over the west side and didn't see anyone! Could that bitch have already run away?"
"Impossible! You forgot, we can't get out."
"Didn't they say outsiders can be taken out?"
"That only works if no outsiders come in." The man said, "That person took Xiao He away at sea, so he must have entered the village. So now, he probably can't leave."
Yu Ying memorized their conversation. After the man left, she casually asked the woman, "Why can't we go out? If we can't catch any fish, won't we starve to death?"
The woman sighed, "Who says it's not true? But there's nothing we can do. We really can't leave the village."
Yu Ying: "Is there any explanation for this? Has anyone experimented with it?"
Woman: "My dear, you are so curious, do you want to go out?"
The woman smiled at her. Yu Ying's heart skipped a beat and her back stiffened unconsciously, but she gave the woman a silly smile.
"I'm just curious, mainly because my family doesn't have much money."
The woman laughed and patted Yu Ying on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad won't let you starve to death."
Yu Ying didn't get the information she wanted, and was afraid that continuing to ask would reveal her true identity, so she had no choice but to continue searching with the woman.
During this time, she silently memorized the route.
And this search lasted four days.
During this period, Xiaohe's mother could not bear the condemnation of the villagers and hanged herself at home one morning. Xiaohe's father also went crazy after his wife's death.
He wandered around the village every day, and whenever a girl passed by him, he would grab her and call her "Xiao He" like a madman.
Yu Ying could hear Xiaohe's father's miserable and crazy cries at home.
Besides this, there was another voice.
Women's curses.
Her so-called brother, the strange boy, was insulted by women every day.
During meals, teenagers were not allowed to sit at the table.
Yu Ying wanted to help, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the woman would curse even more fiercely, and the boy would just stare at her without saying a word.
After a few times, Yu Ying didn't dare to meddle in other people's affairs.
The night before she found Xiaohe, she learned the boy's name.
No surname, just the character "Yan".
Everyone in the village called him "Ayan".
"Found it, found Xiaohe!"
One night, Xiaohe's father shouted in the village.
Yu Ying woke up the moment she heard it.
She quickly got up, put on her clothes, opened the door and went out.
A Yan was already waiting at the door, staring at Xiao He's father with those calm and emotionless eyes.
Every time Yu Ying saw Ah Yan like this, she felt cold all over.
It was as if this man would rush over and kill her at any time.
"My dear, why are you awake too?"
The woman appeared behind her silently, and Yu Ying was so scared that her soul almost flew out of her body.
She looked back with a pale face and reluctantly raised her lips to the woman.
"I got up when I heard someone shouting that Xiao He was found."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao He's father ran past the door again and shouted in a loud voice: "I found my daughter! Xiao He is found!"
Xiaohe's father shouted like this several times, and the lights in the dark village lit up one by one as he shouted.
The villagers walked out of their homes and headed towards Xiaohe's house one by one.
