[Chapter 42 Chapter 369 The River God Marries a Wife (Infinite Flow) 6]
"It's too dangerous during the day. If we want to escape, we can only wait until dark at night."
Wen Shinian thought for a moment and then added, "But I always feel like I've forgotten something."
Geng Qing: "What did you forget?"
Wen Shinian pinched his chin and frowned in thought.
The others looked at her, not daring to speak for a moment, and even breathing lightly.
"I remember when my grandma told me that story, she mentioned the girl's name...what was it..."
Wen Shinian frowned and thought, and just as he thought of something, his ears moved.
She raised her eyes seriously, quickly picked up the rope, and said to Geng Qing and the others in a low voice, "Hurry up and grab the rope, someone is coming."
After saying that, Wen Shinian quickly retreated back to the seat where he had just been sitting.
The others quickly followed suit, imitating Wen Shinian and tying the rope around themselves with their backhands.
Almost as soon as it was done, the next second the door of the woodshed was kicked open with great force.
The person who came in was the one who had just threatened them with a ferocious look.
"Where on earth did you hide Xiao He?!"
"We don't even know Xiao He. We all say you arrested him by mistake!"
Geng Qing stretched his neck and shouted at the man, but when he met the man's gaze, he was frightened by the bloodshot in his eyes and retracted his neck again.
"I don't care! As soon as Xiao He disappeared, you appeared at the village entrance. If it wasn't you who hid Xiao He, then who could it be!"
"Xiao He's escape has angered the River God. If you can't find me by night, I'll hand you all over to the River God!"
The man said this fiercely and left.
The wooden door was closed again, and Geng Qing and the others were trembling with fear at the man.
"Sacrifice, what is a sacrifice like? We, we are not going to die here, are we?"
Xiaopang huddled beside his cousin with tears in his eyes, his hands tightly clutching his cousin's clothes.
"Woo woo, I don't want to die! I shouldn't have come if I had known!"
"I miss my mother. What will happen to her if something happens to me..."
My cousin also looked very unhappy, but as an older sister, she pretended to be strong and comforted Xiaopang.
Lu Yajie looked at Wen Shinian with a look of dependence.
"Wen Shinian, has your grandma ever told you what the sacrificial ceremony is like?"
Wen Shinian nodded, "I said that the girl chosen as the sacrifice will be placed on a small wooden boat and lowered into the sea."
Lu Yajie's eyes lit up: "Then can we get on the boat and leave from the sea by small boat?"
"It won't work. The situation at sea is complicated. Let alone leaving the sea, you won't even know how you died."
"That won't work. We're not familiar with the village. Can we really escape at night?"
"I don't know, but if I don't run, I'll die."
“…”
Wen Shinian stood up and began to rummage through the pile of junk, hoping to find something suitable for self-defense.
When the others saw her actions, they also stood up to look for her.
Once you find it, sit back down, hide the thing behind you, and block it with your body.
The operation did not begin until night. According to Wen Shinian's suggestion, several people sat down and slept whenever they could to ensure the best physical strength so that they could escape more easily at night.
During this period, the sound of villagers looking for someone could be heard from time to time outside the house.
Every time there was a noise, Geng Qing and the others would be awakened from their restless sleep. Then, with trepidation, they would force themselves to go back to sleep.
Wen Shinian woke up once during this time, looked at the five people huddled together, and stared at them calmly for a long time.
——
"Welcome...Welcome...Welcome! Hehehehe!!!"
The driver's strange appearance appeared in her dream again. Yu Ying woke up suddenly, her face covered with cold sweat from the nightmare.
"Ouch, Aying, why are you sweating so much? You must have had a nightmare."
A strange female voice came from her ears. Yu Ying turned around stupidly, and when she saw the woman's weather-beaten face, she realized that something was wrong.
Where are Geng Qing and the others?
Who is this person?
Why is she here?
Yu Ying was terrified by her companion's disappearance. She pushed the woman away and jumped out of bed barefoot without even bothering to put on her shoes.
The woman was pushed by her and almost fell down.
But she didn't care at all. After she stood firm, she kept catching up with her daughter who was in a bad state.
"Aying, Aying, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Mom!"
As the woman chased after her, Yu Ying ran even faster.
She kept running forward with her head down, and when she turned a corner, she bumped into a wall of flesh.
Before she could recover, the person he bumped into reached out and pushed her away with great force.
Yu Ying lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Because he was completely unprepared, he hit his head hard when he fell.
The intense pain made her eyes go black. Before she passed out, she forced herself to open her eyes and glanced at the person standing there.
Yu Ying remembered the other person's incredibly beautiful face even after just a quick glance.
—
"Yu Ying, wake up! Don't sleep anymore! It's getting dark!"
Yu Ying opened her eyes suddenly as her body was shaken continuously.
The room was too dark, and when I opened my eyes, it was still pitch black.
"You are so careless, how can you sleep so soundly?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Ying spoke hesitantly.
Geng Qing
"It's me, hurry up and get up, Wen Shinian is trying to pry the door open, as soon as it opens, we'll run."
In the darkness, Geng Qing groped and pulled her up.
Yu Ying's mind was in a daze, and she didn't understand what was going on.
Did she have two dreams just now?
But if it was a dream, why did she feel pain?
But if it wasn't a dream, why is she back now?
Before Yu Ying could continue thinking, she heard a sound of something falling in the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, moonlight came into the dark woodshed.
Yu Ying raised her eyes and saw a thin figure standing at the door.
"Wen Shinian, you are so amazing!"
The person standing at the door turned around, and his face gradually became clear in the moonlight.
"Let's go quickly. We can talk about this after we escape."
Wen Shinian walked out first.
When the others saw her leaving, they hurried to follow her.
But once they stepped out of the woodshed, they didn't dare to move.
The village was very quiet at night, so quiet that not even the sound of insects could be heard.
The faint moonlight could not illuminate anything. The night was like an endless abyss, like a terrifying black hole.
The ignorant fear was like a pair of hands constantly scratching at the brains of Geng Qing and the others.
Their brains uncontrollably think of all kinds of horrible things, so that before they take any action, they are scared by themselves.
At this moment, my heartbeat was hitting my eardrums like a drum, and my body was shaking uncontrollably.
They wanted to move forward like Wen Shinian, but their legs felt heavy and stiff as if they were filled with lead, and they couldn't take a single step for a long time.
The sea breeze with a unique fishy smell blew from somewhere, and when it entered my nose, it strangely smelled like blood.
"Wen, Wen Shinian, wait for us!"
Geng Qing wanted to call out to Wen Shinian who was walking forward, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly.
She pulled Lu Yajie with tears in her eyes, and when she was about to lose sight of Wen Shinian, she was so scared that she quickly pulled people to chase after him.
She desperately wanted to catch up with Wen Shinian, but for some reason, Wen Shinian walked further and further away, and soon, even his figure disappeared.
When Geng Qing came to her senses, she was the only one left there, and even Lu Yajie beside her was gone.
