Farmhouse blessing girl has space

Chapter 1798 Guess
"Okay, no one is allowed to refuse anymore. It just so happens that Mrs. Ben has something else to ask the two of you."

An Youcai nodded, but he didn't stretch his chopsticks towards the two dishes.

"Please speak, madam."

Xiang Lingqi stared at the couple carefully, not letting go of each other's expressions.

"I heard that your village had the custom of offering sacrifices to the river god more than ten years ago? You even threw the underage girl into the river alive as a sacrifice?"

Sister-in-law Cui's legs suddenly felt weak, and her whole body trembled with fear, as if she was about to lose her stability.

An Youcai stretched out his hand to grab his wife, and nodded honestly: "There was indeed such a custom more than ten years ago. Everyone said that the reason why the river flooded was because the river god couldn't get worship."

"If he could marry the River God a daughter-in-law every year, the River God wouldn't continue to make trouble. What, why is Madam interested in this all of a sudden?"

Xiang Lingqi asked without answering: "Take it as if I'm curious now! Since everyone believes that the God of the River will marry a wife, why did this custom suddenly disappear more than ten years ago?"

An Youcai said mysteriously: "Originally, these villages offered a girl as a sacrifice every year. But many people cherished their daughters, so they secretly ran out of the village with them. Seeing that the men in the village wanted to marry Daughter-in-law, it's already a bit embarrassing, so this custom can only be temporarily stopped."

"Who knew that the first year this custom stopped, the river began to flood, and it took a long time before it subsided."

Xiang Lingqi didn't dare to touch the food on the table this time, and even signaled to Lu Heng with his eyes that there might be something wrong with the food.

"Since this is the case, the villagers in the village should believe in the river god even more. How could these customs be covered up all of a sudden?"

An Youcai lowered his head and didn't know how to answer. Sister Cui simply fell to the ground with a plop, and then retreated towards the corner.

Xiang Lingqi immediately became vigilant, and held Qiaoer's hand beside her, only waiting for the critical moment to save this girl.

"An Youcai, why are you silent all of a sudden? Why don't I make it clear for you? Everyone really believes in the God of the River. It's just that the girls in the village have already been arrested by you, and the others have even escaped. .So you don’t know what to do for a while.”

"I don't know who came up with the bad idea later. There are no girls in my village. Isn't there a lot of girls outside? Especially those girls who pass by the town, or those from other villages."

"So your village started to catch other girls outside, just to sacrifice to the river god for the girls in your village. Right?"

"If I'm not mistaken, some of the food on this table has been drugged. Once we eat it, we will faint on the ground. I can't guess what you will do with us, but this is a coincidence. A ready-made maiden. You are going to use her to sacrifice to the river god, are you not?"

"That's why your daughter-in-law was so frightened when I brought the dishes on this table to your table. Is it because you are afraid that things will be revealed?"

"I really didn't expect that your family seems to be honest, but you have the courage to do such a murderous thing. This is really unexpected!"
