Of course, she only dared to think about it and did not dare to say it out loud.
Because she knew very well that if she really said it, she might not be able to stay in this family anymore and even stay in this village.
Moreover, if it was really retribution, then as an accomplice, she would not be any better. However, she was not afraid of suffering retribution. She was afraid that her son would be the one who suffered.
However, now that things had come to this point, it was too late to say anything. She had done too many bad things and there was no turning back now. Now, she only hoped that her son could find a way to leave this village, see the outside world, and live a good life.
On the other side, Duo Ji also knew about his son’s condition. When he looked at Ye Leng’an, his gaze became even colder, as if he was looking at a dead man.
Ye Leng’an met Duo Ji’s stare without hesitation, not flinching at all. “It seems that you know the result! Actually, you don’t have to be too anxious. He’s just disabled. Compared to those young girls who lost their lives here, he is much better.”
Even though she did not know much about the village until now, she knew that there were many people like her who were sent to the sacrificial altar.
“It is their honor to be offered to the great Gu God.” Duo Ji had a crazy smile on his face. “Besides, they walked into our village on their own. God helped us choose. They can’t blame anyone.”
He had never felt that he was in the wrong. Heaven destroyed those who didn’t look out for themselves. They had been trapped in this d*mn place for generations. Was it wrong for them to want to save themselves now?
“This is simply a fallacy.” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. “Although I don’t know what’s going on with you, if you really think it’s glory, why don’t you let your daughters become sacrifices? In the end, it’s all because you guys are selfish.”
“Whatever you say,” Duo Ji said with a sinister smile. “You’ve already a sacrifice now, and the rite is about to begin. You won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow.”
“Hehe, is that so?” After hearing Duo Ji’s words, she maintained that smile and didn’t look even frightened, “Do you think you can really take me as a sacrifice today? There is only a fine line between a hunter and a prey. How are you sure that you are the hunter?”
“What do you mean?” The Second Elder, who had been feeling uneasy, couldn’t help but step forward after hearing Ye Lengan’s words. “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?
From the beginning, his heart had been beating wildly, as if something beyond their control was about to happen.
When he saw that Ye Leng’an wasn’t knocked out as they had expected, but regained consciousness instead, and even cut off one of Duo Luoqi’s hands, the ominous premonition in his heart grew even stronger. Furthermore, there were no signs of fear at all on her face, which was even more weird.
In the past, if the girls who were chosen as sacrifices accidentally woke up halfway and saw this situation, they were so scared that they could not speak. Even if some of them were really bold, they would try to find an opportunity to see if they could escape. Although they would all end up the same, they would still try to escape.
However, after Ye Leng’an woke up on the altar, she didn’t show any fear or panic. Instead, she spoke to them calmly as if she had already guessed everything.
In fact, no one knew how the dagger ended up in her hands. She remained composed after attacking Duo Luoqi. That only meant one thing. It was not the first time she had done this.
How could they easily scheme against such a girl? Unless she did it on purpose.
“Second Elder, what do you mean?” Duo Ji’s eyebrows twitched when he heard the remark of the Second Elder’s words. He seemed to have realized something about those unreasonable things just now.
The other three elders were not stupid. They naturally understood the meaning behind Second Elder’s words..
