"Why can't we sacrifice it? It's a short life. A disaster must be protected. Now, it's already like this. It's impossible for her to survive! If we sacrifice the river god, she can still exchange some silver for our family! If we give her some blessings, maybe our eldest grandson will be able to take the position of the Shangguan family. Her life is worth it. Her life is worth it!"
It was the First Madam of this family, Lu Zefeng's wife, Ning's.
Madam Ning had a mean face and a fat figure. There was a mole at the corner of her mouth. She was arguing with an old woman of the same age as her in a strange tone.
Peace Village had the custom of worshipping the river gods.
More than a hundred years ago, a living sacrifice had turned into a livestock sacrifice.
But because of the drought this year, food and drink were all problems. It was time to worship the river god. The village chief of Peace Village knew that the second granddaughter of the Lu family's concubine, Xiao Qiu'er, was in the water, so he proposed to give some money to the Lu family to worship the river god.
In terms of this matter, the Lu family was divided into two factions, and now they were quarreling.
Qiu'er was Lu Zefeng's concubine and the granddaughter of the Fang family. Of course, the Ning family didn't care about her. If she died, she would have some money, which made the Ning family happy.
Hearing this, Mrs. Fang, who was worried about her granddaughter, was not happy.
Of course, Madam Fang knew what Madam Ning, who had been fighting with her for many years, was thinking. She glanced at her second granddaughter on the brick bed from the corner of her eyes, and her eyes were full of distress. She said in a tough tone, "Don't talk nonsense. My little Qiu'er is living well! Did you say that you would sacrifice her? I don't agree."
Madam Ning sneered. "It's a deal. Give it to me!"
The money could be used to buy their eldest grandson's brush, ink, paper, paper, and inkstone. Besides, their eldest grandson would get married next month. They couldn't let the money they lost tomorrow get into trouble.
The middle-aged woman, who had been standing beside Mrs. Fang, saw that Lu Zefeng was silent and didn't say anything. She directly knelt down and said, "Granny, I'm begging you, okay? My Qiu'er is only ten years old! We have gone through so many hardships to pull her up so much. Now we want her life, but what can we do?"
This middle-aged woman was Xiao Qiu'er's mother, who was also the daughter-in-law of the Fang family. Her single name was "Yan", and her family called her "Yan'er".
In addition to Qiu'er, there were also three men and three women under her knees.
As soon as she knelt down, the youngest pair of twins could not hide behind her and knelt down in the same way she did.
Madam Ning was unmoved. "My eldest grandson hasn't passed the exam yet. It's all because of his short life! Now that the God of Sacrifice still has money to take, it's also a way to repay my eldest grandson."
After that, she turned her eyes to the old patriarch—
She and the Fang family's common husband, Old Master Lu, asked him to make a decision quickly. Seeing that he did not respond but just fell into hesitation, he was even more angry and decided to do it himself and throw Qiu'er out.
She didn't even want to let her hand touch Xiao Qiu'er's body. She only lifted the thin quilt and carried four horns on her back. The thin and weak Xiao Qiu'er was suddenly lifted up, leaving only her head hanging weakly outside the quilt.
"Put her down! My little Qiu'er can't stand it!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Fang was the first to get anxious.
"I won't let her go! I must let her get out of this house today!" Madam Ning didn't show weakness. She clutched the four corners of the quilt and was about to walk out of the door.
As soon as she woke up, Lu Qiu, who was already in a coma, felt that her head was getting worse. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words in a hoarse voice, "Open, open."
After listening to the argument just now, Lu Qiu looked around in a daze and knew that he had time-travel again! He roughly accepted the memory of the original owner.
She still wanted to listen more, but she didn't expect that she would be picked up by an old woman in the next second!
If she still had the strength, she would definitely let that shrew know how powerful she was!
Lu Qiu had lived for tens of millions of years and had a cultivation of tens of millions of years. The first time she went through the tribulation, her soul was directly cut into the alien world and modern times. The second time she went through the tribulation in modern times was because she failed to pass the last tribulation. Her physical body was directly destroyed and her soul was cut here. Fortunately, her cultivation was not low, so she managed to gather her soul and quickly found a dead body to turn into a soul.
Hiss, she was lucky. This girl was also called Lu Qiu, whose name was the same as her name in the modern world.
Although the two words that Lu Qiu spat out were weak, they could make people feel the chill in them.
Madam Ning's hands, which were holding her, were a little weak.
Madam Fang and the others looked delighted.
Mother Yan took the two girls behind her and quickly got up. She grabbed the baby girl from Madam Ning's hands and put her back on the bed.
The twins shielded the bed. When they saw that Eldest Young Madam was about to approach again with a cold expression, the youngest Lu Xue also rushed over and knocked down Mdm Ning.
Pa—
Madam Ning took two steps back and steadied herself. She then slapped Lu Xue in the face.
Suddenly, Madam Ning felt a pain in her arm.
Lu Dong, who was ranked third, shouted, "Stop!" Then he bit Ning's arm, as if he was going to tear off the piece of skin and flesh.
Ning Tao shouted and pushed Lu Dong away. When he was about to slap her again, the Fang family grabbed his wrist and threw him away.
"My granddaughter is not someone that you can throw or beat whenever you want! If you want to bully them, you have to get through me first!"
Her little granddaughter had been slapped in the mouth by Madam Ning, and her weak second granddaughter had been treated like that by her. Madam Fang, who had always been docile, finally couldn't stay calm and fought back with Madam Ning...
