In the book, the villain male second was conquered by me and became a loyal dog

The villagers trembled and said: "This is the fate of all brides..."

Xie Zhili said seriously: "It's some evil spirits causing trouble."

When the villager heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Don't say anything nonsense, sir. If the river god blames us, our whole village will suffer."

Song Yingyue stepped forward and helped the villager up, saying, "You get up first, don't be afraid. We are the demon catchers of Song Family Villa. If it is really a god, how could we hurt you."

When the villagers heard this, joy flashed across their frightened eyes, and they said excitedly, "Are you...really monster hunters?"

Song Yingyue smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true."

The villagers thanked him again and again: "That's great, that's great, our village is saved!"

Xie Zhili squatted down, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Tell me in detail what this so-called river god is all about."

The villagers calmed down and began to tell the story: "Probably a few months ago, things started to get uneasy. The river would rise from time to time and flood houses and people. No one knew what to do."

"As a result, one day, two words appeared on the wall of the village chief's house: sacrifice a bride every four days, regardless of age or gender, to appease the anger of the river god."

"So we could only select one person every four days, dress him in a wedding dress, and send him to the river..."

Tong Huanyou couldn't help but interrupt: "Are you just going to be sent there obediently?"

The villagers sighed helplessly: "We were forced to do this by drawing lots. Who wants to die? But there is nothing we can do. If we don't, the whole village will suffer."

"It's really ridiculous! How dare this evil spirit harm the people like this." Xie Zhili was indignant and asked, "What is that food pit?"

"That's the pit where the dead brides were piled up. The village chief said that the brides offered as sacrifices are tributes and cannot be moved."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Xie Zhili remained silent, turned around and came to Tong Huanyou, saying, "Miss Tong, why don't you and your junior brother go to Sujing first, so as not to delay your trip."

"No."

"Need not!"

The two spoke in unison.

"Huh?" Xie Zhili asked puzzledly.

Tong Huanyou rolled his eyes and immediately found a lame excuse: "Well, well... my relative Su Jing is not in a hurry. He asked me to go there so early because he wanted me to play for two days first. There's no such thing as a happy event so early."

"Is that so? Okay then, we may have to delay for a few days." Xie Zhili said gently.

Tong Huanyou nodded repeatedly.

Then Xie Zhili turned around and said to the villagers: "Then please take us to the food pit to have a look."

The villager hesitated, but under the gaze of everyone, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

So the villagers carefully grabbed one of the corpse's arms and prepared to drag it towards the food pit.

A gust of wind blew, and a faint strange smell drifted into everyone's nose.

Yu Qingci's nose was more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and he held his breath subconsciously.

"Oh my God! The smell is so strong today!" The villager pinched his nose and fanned the air.

Xie Zhili frowned and pinched his nose, unable to help but say, "The stench of the corpse is really strong."

Song Yingyue agreed with an unpleasant expression: "Indeed, but the degree of decay of the corpse is not serious..."

Tong Huanyou's eyes widened instantly when he heard this!

It shouldn't be...

The villagers shuddered and said in fear, "Could it be the river god's new magic?"

Watching the three of them discussing seriously.

Tong Huanyou stood aside without saying a word, closing his eyes in despair, feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to die.

Stop discussing this! I really beg you to stop discussing this!

At this moment, Yu Qingci, who had been holding it in for a long time, flushed slightly, frowned tightly, and his body trembled slightly unconsciously.

As luck would have it, it was noticed by Tong Huanyou, who was closest to him.

Tong Huanyou couldn't believe it: He's not holding his breath, is he? System!!!

[System: Host, is there anything I can do for you? ]

Tong Huanyou wanted to cry but had no tears: Is there a prop that can erase my memory? Please...

[System: I’m sorry, host, no. ]

Tong Huanyou was desperate: I want to die.

[System: Host, there is a saying in your original world: a day passes by as soon as you close your eyes and open them again. Don't take it to heart.]

Tong Huanyou held his forehead and smiled bitterly: Do you know there is another saying, once you close your eyes, your life will pass...

Just when a few people were still guessing the doubts.

Tong Huanyou couldn't stand it any longer, so he said weakly, "Well...why don't we go to the food pit first?"

A few people came back to their senses and nodded, "Well, that's fine, let's go to the food pit first."

So the villagers immediately picked up the body and led the group quickly towards the food pit.

Tong Huanyou walked at the back, muttering to himself: He's finally gone.

As soon as he left the land, Yu Qingci let out a long breath, as if he wanted to let out all the anger he had been holding.

His originally cold eyes now looked even chillier.

Then he reached out and patted Tong Huanyou's shoulder, who was walking behind him, and said in his usual cold tone: "Miss Tong, you'd better eat more vegetables."

Tong Huanyou was so frightened by his sudden slap that his pupils trembled, as if he was hit on the head with a stick, and his whole body froze.

He is definitely holding his breath!! Aaaaaaaaah! I am going to blow up the world!!!

[System: Host, please stay calm. ]

Tong Huanyou felt guilty: Is there such a thing...

[System: Host, I am a machine and have no sense of smell. ]

Tong Huanyou: I want to die.

She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately!

When everyone arrived in front of the so-called food pit, a strong stench of decay hit them in the face.

With the bright moonlight, I could clearly see that the food pit in front of me was filled with piles of corpses.

Some of the corpses were already highly decomposed, revealing pale bones with strands of rotten flesh hanging on them.

Some of them still have some flesh that has not completely decayed, and appear to be a strange blue-black color.

The maggots crawling on the corpse were creepy.

Blood and pus mixed together and gathered at the bottom of the pit into a foul-smelling stain.

There were also some broken limbs and arms scattered randomly around, which was extremely disgusting.

"vomit!"

It was the first time that Tong Huanyou saw such a horrifying scene.

His body was shaking uncontrollably, he bent over and began to retch violently.

Song Yingyue hurried forward and gently patted Tong Huanyou's back, trying to make her feel better.

He said gently, "Why don't you go back to the carriage first? Senior Brother has set up a barrier so no one will get close."

Yu Qingci looked at Tong Huanyou's painful expression, with a hint of sneer in his eyes.

Faced with the mountain of corpses, he was not moved at all.

Tong Huanyou finally recovered, his face as pale as paper, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I'm fine, it's just that I've never seen such a scene before, and I can't accept it all at once..."

"Don't be afraid, we are here." Song Yingyue comforted softly.
