However, Jiujiu became more and more confused.
Obviously, the sacrifice of ten pairs of virgin boys and girls was something that required the sacrifice of ten pairs of virgin boys and girls. Why did this old woman look forward to it?
This was too strange.
Jiujiu always felt that she must have overlooked something very important.
After staying in the inn for a day with nothing to do, Zhang Jinkang took out a set of poker cards from nowhere and pulled Jiujiu to play cards with him.
Coincidentally, not long after Zhang Jinkang and Jiujiu were done, Chen Xiaoyao, who had left on bad terms, appeared in the inn.
Chen Xiaoyao's face was still painted with exquisite makeup, and there was a charming smile on her lips. She swayed her waist and walked in front of Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang. She looked down at the poker cards on the table and asked with a smile, "Do you mind if I join in?"
Zhang Jinkang naturally didn't dare to say that he minded.
Chen Xiaoyao sat directly opposite Jiujiu, and said with a smile while playing cards, "Why didn't you go out today?"
Zhang Jinkang said, "There were too many people outside."
Chen Xiaoyao thought for a moment, "That's right, after all, the sacrifice will start tomorrow."
Speaking of sacrifice, Chen Xiaoyao became interested. She put down a pair of fours, looked at Jiujiu and asked, "Jiujiu, what do you think about Xiaoyao's proposal?"
Without waiting for Jiujiu to answer, Chen Xiaoyao analyzed for Jiujiu as if she was doing a math problem, "Although Xiaoyao is from here, the good thing is that he's not pedantic, and he's different from the people in Li's Village. After the sacrifice, he can leave Li's Village. Moreover, he's so good-looking, it's normal that you're attracted to him."
Finally, Chen Xiaoyao added, "Xiaoyao is very rich.
Not just a little rich, but the whole mountain in Li's Village is his. "
Chen Xiaoyao's words sounded like she wanted Jiujiu to agree to Xiaoyao's proposal, marry Xiaoyao, and be the mother of the little river god.
When Xiao Yao wanted her to marry him, Chen Xiao Yao tried every means to stop him. Today, she suddenly praised Xiao Yao. Something was wrong.
Jiujiu raised her guard, but on the surface, she said, "Sister, you must be joking. I'm still young. My mother doesn't allow me to date."
"So you don't want to marry Xiao Yao?"
Hearing Jiujiu's answer, Chen Xiaoyao's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and she continued to throw down a pair of K's, "But Xiaoyao's temper isn't very good, and he has a lot of influence in the Li Village. If you directly refuse, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of the Li Village."
"Then what do you think I should do?"
Jiujiu pretended not to understand and asked Chen Xiaoyao for help.
When Chen Xiaoyao saw that Jiujiu had come to her for help as she had expected, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face. She gently patted the back of Jiujiu's hand and said with a smile, "Naturally, I'll agree to his request first. After tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, I'll find a way to leave this place."
"But I'm not familiar with the Li Village at all. It's easier said than done to leave."
"Jiujiu, do you trust me?" Chen Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu and asked with a serious face.
Chen Xiaoyao's eyes were painted with pink eyeshadow, and the double eyelids at the end of her eyes were as beautiful as peach blossoms. Her black eyes were like black holes that could suck people in. Jiujiu blinked, as if she was attracted by her, and said blankly, "Of course I trust you."
"Since you're willing to trust me, then listen to me. During tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, Xiaoyao will stay at the altar for the whole day. At that time, it'll be a chance for both of us. We'll leave the Li Village through the back mountain path when he's at the sacrificial ceremony. At that time, both of us will be free."
"Then I …"
As soon as Zhang Jinkang spoke, the confusion in Jiujiu's eyes dissipated a lot.
Noticing that the confusion in Jiujiu's eyes dissipated, Chen Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Jinkang fiercely and gritted her teeth, "Only one person can live in a game. If I leave with Jiujiu, what do you think will happen to you?"
Zhang Jinkang was frightened by the fierceness in Chen Xiaoyao's eyes, and instantly shut his mouth.
After Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking, she quickly hid the fierceness on her face and said to Jiujiu with a smile, "Let's continue playing cards."
Jiujiu obediently agreed, as if nothing had happened.
The three of them played cards until dinner.
After dinner, the three of them continued to play cards for a while, and then they saw Xiaoyao coming in from outside.
As soon as Xiaoyao appeared, both Chen Xiaoyao and Zhang Jinkang were like rabbits that saw a tiger, and immediately rushed to the second floor.
In an instant, only Jiujiu and Xiaoyao were left in the hall.
Jiujiu looked at Xiaoyao, and Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu didn't know if it was an illusion, but as the time for the sacrifice approached, Jiujiu felt that Xiaoyao's body was more human, especially his eyes, which were less cold and more warm.
Jiujiu walked in front of Xiaoyao and took the initiative to say, "Do you want to go outside for a walk?"
Jiujiu's proposal surprised Xiaoyao.
Jiujiu had been avoiding his existence before, but today she took the initiative to propose to go outside with him.
Xiaoyao nodded to show his agreement, and the two of them stepped outside.
The bright moon was in the sky, and the moonlight shone on the ground like a disc. The river was sparkling, and a gust of wind blew, which was indescribably beautiful.
Jiujiu sat on a stone bench by the roadside, looking at the river swaying with the wind, and looked at Xiaoyao standing beside her. "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Xiaoyao lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's cheeks were young and tender, just like a little girl in her teens, but the feeling she gave to him and Little God in the river was particularly warm.
Xiaoyao opened the front of his robe, sat beside Jiujiu, and said in a cold voice, "Are you willing to marry me?"
"If I say yes, how will you treat me?"
Jiujiu's answer shocked Xiaoyao again.
Xiaoyao looked at Jiujiu with a measuring gaze, and said after a while, "I thought you wouldn't agree."
"I went to the shop that sells incense paper money, and he told me your story." Jiujiu looked at Xiaoyao and asked, "Is that story true?"
Xiaoyao naturally knew that Jiujiu went to the incense paper money shop, but he didn't expect that person to tell Jiujiu about it.
Xiaoyao nodded slightly, "It's true. What do you want to ask me?"
"How did you resurrect Little God in the river?"
The word 'resurrect' touched the deepest chord in Xiaoyao's heart, and he lost control of his expression for a moment.
Xiaoyao was stunned, and looked at Jiujiu blankly, "Do you really think so?"
Jiujiu nodded, "I said, if I were you, I would do the same. I can sacrifice my life to save you, but you can't sacrifice my child's life to save you. One is a choice, the other is forced. As long as you're human, you don't like being forced, right?"
Xiaoyao's heart, which had been withered for many years, was instantly healed by Jiujiu, and he looked at Jiujiu with a bit more tears in his eyes.
Xiaoyao's fingers gently touched Jiujiu's cheek, along the cheek to Jiujiu's neck, and then moved up to Jiujiu's lips.
