[Chapter 47 Chapter 374 The River God Marries a Wife (Infinite Flow) 11, 12 (Merged)]
"Niannian! Save me!"
Seeing Wen Shinian standing above him, Xiaopang was very surprised.
She struggled to move towards Wen Shinian's direction, constantly shouting for help.
Wen Shinian looked down at Xiaopang, and under Xiaopang's hopeful gaze, he turned and left indifferently.
The expression of relief on Xiaopang's face froze, and the little bit of color that had just returned to his face disappeared in an instant.
"No! Nian Nian, don't go! Save me! Wen Shinian! Save me!!"
Xiaopang screamed heartbreakingly, but no matter how she screamed, Wen Shinian never appeared again.
In despair, Xiaopang was buried alive by the falling mud.
The mud covered up Xiaopang's voice and hid her figure.
However, the mud was still moving slightly where she was covered.
The villagers who noticed this scene picked up shovels and patted and beat the mud. After a while, the loose mud was compacted tightly.
After Xiaopang disappeared, the expressions of the villagers who were holding shovels just now gradually became empty.
In just a few seconds, the villagers' faces turned pale, and their exposed skin began to turn black and rot. Most of them were missing arms and legs, and their eyeballs were still dangling from their faces.
They swayed and bumped into each other as they walked in the same direction.
"Nian Nian."
A deep boy's voice sounded from the side.
The villagers who were originally walking in one direction in an orderly manner suddenly stopped.
When the owner of the voice, Ah Yan, appeared, the woman standing in the middle, who played the role of Xiaopang's family, shrank her neck in fear.
But she forgot her situation, and when she shrank, her head broke backwards with a snap.
The woman subconsciously reached out to hold on, but before she could stand firmly, Ah Yan suddenly turned his head to look at her.
The woman fell to her knees with a thud.
She took the lead, and others also knelt down when Ah Yan passed by.
After Ah Yan walked to Wen Shinian and turned his back to them, the villagers stood up again and moved in one direction.
Ah Yan's originally expressionless face instantly turned into a smile after he walked to Wen Shinian's side.
He reached out to hold Wen Shinian's hand, and his thin body pressed forward against her.
"She's the only one left."
Wen Shinian smiled gently at Ah Yan and reached out to touch his head which was resting on his shoulder.
"Um."
"Nian Nian looks unhappy because she can't bear to leave them?"
Ah Yan smiled with his eyes curved, holding Wen Shinian's hand tightly.
Wen Shinian shook his head and looked into the distance.
"No, I just remembered something."
"Remember what?"
“…Remember who I was before.”
Ah Yan stood up and walked to Wen Shinian's side, looking at her sideways.
"Can I know?"
Wen Shinian glanced at the boy's somewhat familiar outline and reached out to touch Ah Yan's face.
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that there's so little that I can think of that I don't know where to begin."
Ah Yan lowered his eyes and rubbed Wen Shinian's palm in dependence, "Then don't tell. As long as you don't leave me, Nian Nian can hide anything from me."
"So good."
He has always been so well-behaved since the beginning.
"Don't be sad, sister. Ah Yan will always stay by your side and never leave you."
Wen Shinian wanted to say that she was not sad, but when she raised her eyes, she saw herself in Ayan's dark eyes.
Her expression was indeed a little ugly.
Wen Shinian pondered for a moment, then gently hugged A'yan. His voice was so light that it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Thank you, Ah Yan."
Always by her side.
—
"Are you sure I am Xiao He?"
"Haha, stop joking, aren't you Xiao He?!"
Yu Ying's heart was beating fast, but she didn't want to continue to stay here.
She laughed dryly and took Xiaohe's hand again, trying to lead her forward.
"We'll talk later. We're already here, so let's go. If the villagers notice, neither of us will be able to leave."
Xiaohe tilted her head and looked at Yu Ying without saying a word.
She stood firmly in place, and no matter how Yu Ying pulled her, she stood there motionless.
Seeing victory just around the corner, how could Yu Ying be willing to stop moving forward?
She grabbed Xiaohe's hands with both hands, trying to take her away by force.
But no matter how hard she tried, Xiaohe was as steady as a rock.
Yu Ying gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and pulled Xiaohe's hand forward with both hands.
Xiaohe suddenly laughed, and her pupils expanded silently until the entire eyeball was black.
She loosened her fingers slightly, and Yu Ying fell to the ground.
The pain, as if her tailbone was broken, made Yu Ying's eyes go dark and she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up for a long time.
"What the hell are you doing?! Don't you want to get out of here?!"
"Leave?" Xiao He sounded doubtful. He slowly walked around Yu Ying and said in a gloomy and mocking voice, "Don't joke around. We can't escape."
Yu Ying bared her teeth and looked up at Xiao He: "If you don't try...you, who are you!"
The moonlight fell, and the moment Yu Ying saw Xiaohe's face clearly, she changed the subject with a strong sense of fear.
Seeing that she finally noticed, Xiao He grinned, and the skin on his face covered with mud suddenly drooped loosely.
It's like solidified oil gradually melting after being heated at high temperature, and now it slowly flows down and accumulates.
The soft skin on his face was stuck together, and the broken parts were covered in bloody flesh.
Yu Ying was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she screamed. She no longer cared about the pain and tried her best to back away.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
Yu Ying waved her hands wildly in resistance, her eyes closed, not daring to look at Xiaohe again.
The stench of decay mixed with the smell of blood filled the air, and every breath made her feel extremely nauseous.
"Xiao He, Xiao He, wake up! Don't fall asleep!"
Her body was shaken vigorously, and Yu Ying opened her eyes hesitantly, only to see "Xiao He" looking at her with a worried look on her face.
She looked around blankly, feeling that the scene was somewhat familiar.
Before Yu Ying could figure out what was going on, "Xiao He" looked at her and said, "I'm so glad you're okay. Can you still stand up?"
After "Xiaohe" asked, Yu Ying nodded uncontrollably, and the next second she was helped to stand up by the girl.
"Everyone is asleep, let's leave now!"
The girl supported her and led her forward with difficulty.
Yu Ying had difficulty breathing, and there was sand in her mouth, nose, and ears.
She wanted to wipe it off, but her body was completely out of her control.
But through her sight, she could see her surroundings clearly.
Isn’t this the path she took Xiaohe on just now?
"Tell me, can we really escape?"
"Xiao He" looked at the exit that was getting closer and closer, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of worry.
Yu Ying opened her mouth to respond, but in fact, she lowered her head and remained silent, and did not respond to "Xiao He".
"Xiao He" didn't care and kept chattering in her ear without stopping.
I walked for about ten more minutes, but the exit was always within reach and I couldn't reach it.
Xiao He hung his head in frustration. "What the villagers said is true. We can't leave at all."
Yu Yingzheng stared blankly ahead.
The exit is right in front of them, so why can't they reach it?
If they can't leave, won't they all die here?
No, she doesn't want to die!
This thought kept popping up in her mind, and when she reacted, "Xiao He" was already lying under her, with her facial features smashed to pieces.
Yu Ying witnessed the whole process but was powerless to stop it.
From a third-person perspective, she saw herself panicking and dropping the blood-stained stone in her hand. Then she lowered her head and looked at the breathless "Xiao He" with bloodshot eyes.
"No, it's not me, I, I just want to live..."
She stared at Xiaohe's body and made self-deceiving excuses.
I don’t know what I thought of afterwards, but my trembling body suddenly stabilized.
She bravely stepped forward and took off Xiaohe's clothes in two or three moves and gave them to herself.
Before returning to the village, I took a last look at "Xiaohe".
As things developed, Yu Ying's perspective also changed.
She stayed in her own little world, gazing at the messy and boring view in front of her.
Just when I was wondering why I was wandering around, an accident happened.
The perspective changed drastically. After stabilizing, Yu Ying felt excruciating pain on her face.
She rolled on the ground with her hands covering her face in pain, and accidentally knocked something over, making a noise that woke up the people next door.
Soon, she heard footsteps.
"Xiaoying! Xiaoying!"
Yu Ying lay on the ground with her face covered. When the candlelight lit, she could see the woman's face clearly.
"Ouch, what happened to you? Why is your face covered in blood?"
"Dad, go find Old Man Sun, go quickly..."
"You can't go!"
The man objected in a low voice.
"Why can't I go? My daughter is in trouble! Why can't I go? Do you want her to die?"
Man: "I certainly want to go! But tomorrow is the sacrifice ceremony, and Xiaoying is the Saint!"
When the man said this, the woman fell silent.
Since ancient times, girls of appropriate age in fishing villages have been kept at home. The reason for doing so is to prevent the girls from getting physically hurt.
There is only one reason for doing this - as a saint, her face cannot be injured.
"Well, what should we do? Xiaoying is like this now, will they think we did it on purpose?"
Women simply don't dare to think about what tomorrow will bring.
The man walked back and forth in the room anxiously with his hands behind his back.
The woman hugged Yu Ying and cried, "Xiao He had just been buried alive, and now this happened to Xiao Ying. Could this be a punishment from the River God?"
The man's face was serious. "If that's the case, and we send the disfigured Xiaoying to the river god, he'll surely be angry again. If the whole village is implicated, we'll surely die a more miserable death!"
"So what do you say we should do now?"
The woman burst into tears.
She didn't want to die, nor did she want her daughter to die.
The man and the woman looked at each other in silence for a long time, and suddenly remembered something.
He looked up in the direction of the woodshed.
The woman who had been staring at the man also saw his look, and without the man saying anything, she guessed what he was thinking.
Her eyes lit up at first, but then her excitement turned into worry and fear.
"Is this really okay? He's a boy."
"It's okay. Just put on some clothes and cover your head with a veil. No one will know whether you are a man or a woman."
"That……"
"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the village chief and find some excuse to get some clothes. After you hide Xiaoying, go and calm him down."
"Okay, I got it!"
The couple was plotting, and Yu Ying, who had been hiding in the woman's arms, probably figured out what was going on when she heard this.
"Xiao He" is indeed not Xiao He.
The real Xiaohe is her.
And "Xiao He"'s real name is Yu Ying, just like her.
After she was buried alive by the villagers, her good friend Yu Ying found an opportunity to rescue her.
It was only the fear of death that drove her to kill Yu Ying. Then, in order to survive, she took over Yu Ying's identity and returned to the village.
In order to avoid being sacrificed as a saint and to avoid being discovered, she disfigured herself as soon as she returned.
After Yu Ying's parents learned about this, they would definitely find a way to keep her alive.
The boy with a feminine appearance who was picked up by them that year naturally became a "substitute bride".
[Congratulations to player Yu Ying for successfully discovering the truth.]
Yu Ying looked at the words in front of her and her heart began to beat wildly.
Since she is Xiao He, what she needs to do now is to escape from here alive? !
As long as she escapes alive, she can pass through this inexplicable game world and return to the real world! ?
Yu Ying quickly suppressed her excitement and planned to take the opportunity to slip away during the sacrifice tomorrow.
Anyway, in everyone's eyes, "Yu Ying" has been sacrificed and boarded the boat. As for her, her face is disfigured. As long as she makes a little movement to change her body shape, no one will be able to recognize her!
The more Yu Ying thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and she couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.
Perhaps she had some clues, so she slept very comfortably that night.
When I woke up the next day, no one was home.
It seems that the sacrificial ceremony has begun.
Yu Ying didn't stay any longer. She quickly packed up her things, took some water and dry food, and hid all the way to the village entrance.
At the same time, the sacrificial ceremony was also going on.
Because Ayan kept her veil on until the sacrificial ceremony was almost over, no one noticed anything wrong.
When Yu Ying's parents took A Yan on board, they were panicked and weak.
When the boat was pushed into the sea amid the shouts of the crowd, my heart finally settled down.
The waves successfully carried the boat away, and the villagers watched the boat drift away, more or less relieved.
Because of Xiaohe's incident, they didn't rush to leave, but stood there and watched the boat drift away.
They waited until their shadows were completely out of sight before leaving and returning home.
After Yu Ying's parents returned home, they sneaked to the place where Yu Ying was hiding.
The woman kept calling Yu Ying, and after receiving no response, she looked at her man.
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying is missing!"
The man looked at the empty place, his face terribly gloomy.
He thought of something and looked at the woman.
"She has a good relationship with Xiao He. Xiao He must have told her that he wanted to run away!"
"Then Xiaoying is now..."
The woman's face was pale and she wanted to go out and find Yu Ying without thinking.
He had just taken two steps when he was caught by Yu Ying's father.
"The villagers are all here now, and you're running off to look for them now. Do you think your daughter is still alive?"
"Then, what should we do?"
"Wait!" The man pursed his lips. "Wait until night, then we'll go find someone!"
The woman nodded hesitantly and stayed in the house with the man, anxiously waiting for dark.
However, the two of them did not expect that the person who arrived before dark was A Yan, who was supposed to be at sea.
