The old village head still felt lingering fear at the recollection of Da Meng jumping into the river and dying for no apparent reason. It was also the last straw, and caused a huge stir back then.

Everyone knew that Da Meng had definitely been possessed.

As for the people who had suddenly disappeared, the villagers also knew that they were probably dead.

Later on, it didn’t end well for any of the other villagers who had secretly carried out the search along with Da Meng. They either died or were injured in accidents, and the bodies of whoever died would inexplicably appear in that river.

The people of Li Village were feudalistic and superstitious. From then on, everyone in the village said that the River Goddess was angry and demanded offerings from them. The disappearance of these people over the years was probably because they hadn’t given any offerings, so the River Goddess was

furious.

So, from that time on, Li Village offered a living sacrifice every year in the hopes that the River Goddess would spare their village on account of their sincerity. Some people still went missing from the village over the years, but no one dared to investigate again.

The only thing they were glad about was that fewer people had disappeared in recent years, so Li Village treated the annual sacrifice as the most important festival.

From investigating Zhaosan Village to listening to the old village chief talk about the origin of the sacrificial ritual, Wei Xiao’s mood was very complicated and terrible. He couldn’t stand this feudal custom of using people as living sacrifices, and wanted to abolish it on the spot. However, Li Village had

been practicing this custom for over a decade, after all. They wouldn’t abolish it with one word from Wei Xiao, so he could only stop them for the time being.

It was already 6pm by the time he returned to the military district.

As soon as he arrived at the office, someone reported to him the results of the autopsies on the bodies found at the Shen residence: They were identical to the Shen family’s daughter-in-law, and they weren’t infected with corpse poison.

Wei Xiao already knew this from Yan Yan. Thinking of Li Village, his heart was still very heavy. Not long after he returned home and reassured his family, he got up and said that he had something on, and would go to Old Chis house for a while.

Chang Qing originally wanted to tell him about the Shen family moving in next door, but seeing that he was in a hurry and wasn’t in the mood to listen, Chang Qing thought that he had something urgent to attend to, so she could only give up and watch him leave for the Chi residence. In any case, he had

returned to the military district, so she wasn’t too worried.

On the way, Wei Xiao was immersed in the matter of Li Village. When he heard movement inside, he didn’t think much of it.

When he arrived at Yan Yan’s house —

Sure enough!

At that moment, Old Chi and the Qi family member were also there. Chi Shuyan’s eyes lit up when she saw Father Wei. “Uncle Wei! You’re here?” Without waiting for Wei Xiao to speak, Chi Shuyan smiled and said, “Uncle Wei, you’re in luck. My dad and Zhenbai are showing off their cooking skills tonight!

Uncle Wei, you’re in for a treat!”

Wei Xiao hadn’t thought much of it just now, but when he smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, he realized he hadn’t eaten much at noon, so he was quite hungry. Wei Xiao went to the kitchen to take a look. He could still remain calm when he saw Old Chi at the stove, but when he saw the Qi family

member cooking, Wei Xiao’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this Qi family member was extraordinarily good to Yan Yan.

Rather than say Qi Zhenbai was cooking, it was in fact his father-in-law who was guiding him in cooking. Qi Zhenbai could also tell that his father-in-law wanted to teach him to cook so that Qi Zhenbai could cook more for his wife in the future.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t have any objections, but he had always followed online instructions when it came to cooking. He could still cook simple dishes, but anything a little more complicated was difficult. Under his future father-in-law’s gaze, Qi Zhenbai wiped his cold sweat..
