Chapter 1793 Revealed

That night, the village chief's family really prepared a table of sumptuous meals, and Xiang Lingqi and Lu Hengduan sat in the upper seats.Even Zhou's second father and daughter sat at the back.

"The old man Du Wen has been the village head in this village for more than 20 years, but this is the first time he has seen such a wealthy person in the village. Madam bought wild flowers this time, which can be regarded as making a fortune for the villagers. Let the villagers here thank Madam for her kindness.”

Xiang Lingqi smiled slightly: "Mr. Du is too polite, and I was only doing it to make money, so I can't count as doing anything good."

Du Wen seemed to be hesitant to speak, Xiang Lingqi immediately said understandingly: "Is there anything else the village chief wants to tell us? But please speak up."

Du Wen frowned, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Madam is pregnant with Liujia, it is indeed inconvenient to go to a place like the river. It is slippery there, Madam has to be careful of her body."

Xiang Lingqi and Lu Heng glanced at each other, they both wanted to go to the same place.Originally, I was just an outsider who followed the village head relentlessly, why would the village head keep reminding me to pay attention to my body?
Does this mean that he doesn't want to go to He'an Village by himself?
Xiang Lingqi said meaningfully: "Of course there are people watching me, so I'm not afraid. Does the village chief have any other intentions when he says such things?"

Du Wen glanced at the sky with some apprehension, it was the same as usual.But Du Wen sighed, lowered his head, and refused to say anything more.

"Actually, I heard a few years ago that this riverside village has a custom of offering sacrifices to the river god. I felt sorry for those girls at first, but recently I heard that this cruel custom has been banned long ago. I am really happy from the bottom of my heart. .”

Du Wen's face began to look a little unsightly, as old as a dead tree branch, and his fingers trembled slightly.Afterwards, he himself seemed to realize that something was wrong with him, and picked up the teacup in front of him, trying to cover up his expression.

It's just that it's a bit late at this time, and Xiang Lingqi and Lu Heng are already sure that such things as offering sacrifices to the river god are still happening, and it is very likely that it has something to do with the missing women in the town.

"Master, we have been traveling all over the country for a while. We have seen many kinds of big rivers and small rivers, but we have never seen any river gods, right? Water and fire are ruthless things, even if there are It’s normal to have a major disaster or a minor disaster. What does it have to do with the so-called River God?”

When Lu Heng heard the words, he quickly echoed and said: "Yes! If there is a real flood, it should be properly treated. But I have never heard that if the river embankment bursts, then the river god can stand up and help control the river water .”

Du Wen's face was even paler, and some people around him also put down their chopsticks, and their faces seemed very ugly.Du Wen's sharp eyes swept over, and everyone picked up their chopsticks to cover up their discomfort just now.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? There are so many things that this person has never seen in his life, and his existence cannot be denied. Madam, although the old man has never seen any river god in his life, but everyone That being said, maybe someone has seen it?"

Xiang Lingqi already knew something in her mind, and said with a sneer: "But aren't those girls who sacrificed to the river god innocent?"
