Speaking of this, Qin Huan hurriedly repeated what the woman had said to her.

"Another sacrifice?"

Now they feel annoyed when they hear this word. The snake people are really weird and they always ask for human sacrifices.

"So, the people in this village are likely to come and take Ling'er and Kang Kang away as sacrifices?"

Wanyan Kang was dissatisfied: "Ouyang, do you think that I won't hit you just because you've become smaller? What Kang Kang? You should call me Brother Kang!"

"Okay, Brother Kang Kang."

Wanyan Kang: ...

"I'm going to walk around the village, do you want to come with me?"

"Yes!" Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly came up and took Qin Huan's arm.

She was really shocked when the teacher disappeared, and she still hasn't recovered from it.

The same goes for other people. No matter how mature they are, they are only five years old. Who can remain calm when the teacher they treated as a family member disappears?

So all rationality was thrown away.

Since they were going together, Qin Huan went out holding a baby in each hand. There was no other way, as Ying Zheng and Ouyang Mingri had become shorter and could not walk steadily.

By the time they caught up, they didn't know how many times they had fallen behind them.

***

After walking for a while, Qin Huan was sure that this was a very poor and backward village.

Every household seemed to be very poor, and all of them had thatched roofs, without any bricks or tiles.

This might be the busy farming season, and she strolled around for a long time without seeing many people.

Until she saw the person in front of her.

The man came over wearing patched shorts, barefoot, sweat all over his face, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back.

After seeing her, his fair face began to turn red.

"Mother Ruoruo, are you feeling better?"

"Gong Shaohua?? What did you call me?"

Gong Shaohua's face was full of bitterness: "Mother Ruoruo, no...can't I?"

"Then I will... stop calling you, Qin's... sister-in-law."

Qin Huan and six children: ...

What a weird man.

If she didn't know clearly that she was not familiar with him, seeing his distraught look, she would have suspected that she had let him down.

Gong Shaohua lowered his head in embarrassment and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister-in-law Qin, I will carry the firewood home for you.

You are in good health, please... take care of yourself."

After saying this, he walked back the way she came, one foot deep and one foot shallow, carrying a large bundle of firewood that was almost drowning him.

"Hiss—what's going on here?"

Zhou Zhiruo didn't understand either, "Teacher, this brother seems a little strange, he doesn't seem to remember us."

"Not only that, his memory has probably been tampered with, and his cognition is completely confused."

People who practice Taoism always walk with light steps, but Gong Shaohua, carrying firewood, looks like an ordinary person.

Even the exhaustion didn't seem acted.

This is not a joke. How heavy can that little bit of firewood be? I think a young disciple in the Qi training stage can dance with it on his back.

They continued to walk towards the area where there were more houses.

Gradually, I saw more and more familiar faces.

"Brother Chu, my mother said she wants to sell me. Can you...can you save me?" the girl pleaded and choked.

The young man standing in front of her was dressed in linen clothes and waved her hand away with an indifferent expression.

"As a child, how can you disobey your parents? Li Niang, I am very disappointed in you." After saying that, she turned and left.

The girl was left alone, crying her heart out.

"Ruoruo, that person is Bai Yunchu from the Seven Stars Sect, right?" Zhao Linger asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's him."

"Is what he said right?" Zhao Linger was confused.

Her parents treated her like a treasure, so she felt that he was right, but she also vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Wanyan Kang reached out and rubbed her head, mocking her: "What do you mean by right? If your parents want your life, can't you just disobey them?"

"Ling'er's father and mother wouldn't do that."

"Tsk, what's that white? I heard people say he was a good guy, but I didn't expect he was so pedantic behind the scenes."

"This is probably his persona here, don't take it seriously."

It’s not that Qin Huan said good things for him, but when looking at things, one should not generalize.

Moreover, she also has a character here. From what the villagers said, she already knew her identity in this village.

A poor woman who has been widowed for two years and worked hard to raise six children!

In their words, she was a woman who favored boys over girls. After getting married, she gave birth to three daughters in one go in order to have a son.

The ones referred to here are Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Linger, and An Lingrong.

Then her beloved son, Wanyan Kang, was born, and she began to abuse her daughter to take care of her only child.

Later, her husband died and she gave birth to twin brothers,

Refers to Ying Zheng and Ouyang Mingri who arrived a little late.

In the past two years, she and her three daughters have worked like slaves, saving food from every tooth to support their three sons.

It can’t be said that their life was poor. In Qin Huan’s eyes, it was a life worse than death.

What almost cost her her life was that this year her family had to provide a pair of young boys and girls to be offered as sacrifices to the mountain god.

The ones chosen were Zhao Linger and Wanyan Kang.

In her character setting, Wanyan Kang, her eldest son, is equivalent to her lifeblood. How can she accept that?

So she ran into the village chief's house and tried to resist, and she said that she could give birth to three daughters, but not Kang'er.

Even the youngest son could not be given it to Kang Kang.

Wanyan Kang was very happy, "I know that in the teacher's heart, I am the best student."

Hearing this, everyone else rolled their eyes, only Zhao Linger pursed her lips and asked in a trembling voice: "So, Linger is not obedient?"

An Lingrong: ...

With a complicated expression, she looked at this delicate girl who had made her envious and even a little jealous since the day they met.

Forget it, I don’t want the talent that I have to exchange for my brain.

Qin Huan slapped Wanyan Kang on the back of his head and said through gritted teeth, "How could that be? Ling'er is the most obedient, leave this kid alone, he deserves a beating for a long time."

"Does the teacher like Ling'er the most?"

"The teacher likes each and every one of you the most!"

The little girl became happy after hearing this.

After the teacher and students joked for a while, they found a place to sit down and prepared to wait and see if they could meet more people.

***

"Teacher, what do you think this mountain god is?"

Ouyang Mingri, who was sitting next to Qin Huan, asked softly.

"It's probably one of the snake people. After all, we were teleported here by the statue."

“The students think so too. We don’t know what it wants to do. Did it bring us here just to sacrifice us?

Why don't you just kill us directly, instead of creating a village to paralyze us?"

Qin Huan didn't know either, and could only guess: "Maybe it's just like a cat, it needs to be played with before it dies and then eaten."

“Oh, then it’s really bad.”

After waiting for a while, they saw many men and women carrying hoes and other farm tools returning from the fields with sad faces.
