Quick Wear: The Scheming Female Supporting Role is Beautiful and Seductive

Chapter 257: Sacrificial Girl (14)

On the third to last day, Zhao Lan lived up to her expectations and saw the little girl.

She looked around and saw no one else on the road.

The little girl was squatting by a wall, picking wild vegetables, with her loose hair braided into a pigtail.

He seemed unaware of Zhao Lan's approach, and his hands moved skillfully.

Zhao Lan felt her heart pounding, took a deep breath and came to her side: "Little girl?"

"Hmm?" The little girl turned her head to look at the voice. Her round eyes were confused. When she saw it was Zhao Lan, she stood up and did not choose to leave. Instead, she asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Do you still remember me?" Zhao Lan asked cautiously, "Why are you alone? Where are your family members?"

"It's so nice to be alone."

"what?"

"My family is busy at home, I came to find some wild vegetables."

Zhao Lan was overwhelmed by nervousness and kept paying attention to her surroundings, so she didn't react immediately.

"Little girl, you are the first child I met in the village. It means we are destined to meet." Zhao Lan said with a smile as much as possible, being extremely kind.

"Of course there is fate, otherwise, why would you be chosen?" The little girl looked at Zhao Lan with her round eyes, but made her feel cold.

She felt like she was overthinking it. How could she possibly scare a child?

"What do you mean?"

"Your name is Zhao Lan, right?"

"Correct."

"I hope I can remember your name. After all, you have helped me. I will come to see you when I have time in the future."

"Look at me?" Zhao Lan was puzzled by the little girl's words.

"Why do you want to see me? Where do you want to see me?"

"There!" The little girl pointed in a direction, but Zhao Lan didn't know what was in that direction.

"What's there?"

"A graveyard!"

"……what?"

When Zhao Lan looked at the little girl again, she didn't know if it was because she heard these words, but she always felt that the little girl spoke too calmly and sophisticatedly.

"Don't ask anymore. You'll understand soon." After saying that, the little girl continued to squat. However, Zhao Lan felt a chill under the bright sun. She ran back to her room in a panic and leaned against the door, gasping for breath.

The only one who saw her like this was Shen Zhaowan. Shen Zhaowan guessed that Zhao Lan might have gone to see that little girl and came back scared like this. It was very strange.

She smiled and said, there are no kind people in this village.

After Zhao Lan left, the little girl looked back at her running figure and chuckled several times: "It's really fun."

Then he hopped home with the basket.

……

Zhao Lan calmed down for a long time and gradually realized that she might not live for many days. But she didn't want to be arranged like this. Was she really going to die here?

This was absolutely not possible. She was nervous and dazed inside, thinking that her trip was very good and that she had discovered a scary truth. Fortunately, she knew it, and fortunately, she was the only one who knew it, while Shen Zhaowan didn't know it. So she had to find a way to save herself quickly.

Zhao Lan moved to the stool with trembling legs and sat down, deep in thought.

[Wanwan, Zhao Lan was really scared this time. Is she planning to harm you again?]

【Maybe. 】

Shen Zhaowan held her chin with her hand, her eyebrows curved, and she thought Zhao Lan's frightened look was very funny. The little girl told her these things because she also wanted to see what the person who was sacrificed for them looked like, but more of it was the complacency in her heart that she had survived by chance.

They were completely regarded as dying people who could not resist.

They will usher in their own lives.

Shen Zhaowan was amazed inwardly. This was the village's first sacrifice, and two at a time. Which one would Lin Hewei choose then?

Shen Zhaowan smiled cunningly, her eyes and eyebrows lively.

In the evening, Zhao Lan was preoccupied with things and had a poor appetite, so she ate relatively little, which was noticed by the housekeeper.

"Why did you eat so little tonight?"

Zhao Lan came back to her senses and made an excuse: "I ate too much at noon, so I can't eat anymore."

The housekeeper looked at her and didn't say much.

Zhao Lan picked at her food and glanced at Shen Zhaowan across from her, feeling somewhat gloating and complacent.

She comforted herself in her heart that the less people who knew about it, the less danger there would be.

……

As night fell, the sleeping Shen Zhaowan was awakened by Xiaobai.

[Wanwan, someone died in the village.]

【who? 】

[One of the men who brought you back last time, the older one.]

Shen Zhaowan had woken up and sat up.

She knew that all these would happen, and it was all Lin Hewei's revenge.

The originally quiet village was still silent. Villagers from every household hurried out of the village. When they got closer, they saw that only the old woman was crying.

Her face was covered with tears and filled with sadness. Her eldest son was lying nearby, with his eyes open. His clothes were intact, but his face looked scary, with his mouth open, as if he had seen something horrible.

"Ahhh, my son."

"Why did you abandon your mother and go away?"

"How could you leave without leaving your child behind? Who the hell killed you?"

Everyone watched this with expressionless faces, as if this was not the first time it had happened. Listening to the old woman's complaints, others skillfully helped prepare for the funeral.

The patriarch also stopped in front of her: "Shut up!"

"You want to kill everyone, don't you?"

The old woman was so scared that she closed her mouth and sobbed, as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw, "Chief, why is my son dead? Please help me."

"Okay, now that it has happened, there is nothing we can do about it. If you still want to live, and if you still want your second son to live, then shut up."

The patriarch scolded coldly and ruthlessly. When the second son was mentioned, the old woman wiped away her tears and numbly prepared everything.

Shen Zhaowan knew that Zhao Lan seemed to have heard the noise as well, so she got up and went to the door to check.

Zhao Lan concentrated her attention on listening and looked in a certain direction. She wanted to go and see what was going on, but she was a little scared. However, this was a good opportunity. If she knew the exit, she would be able to escape.

This time she did not act impulsively and turned back.

The next day, the village acted as if nothing had happened. No ceremony was held and the old lady in charge looked calm as well, not revealing anything.

Shen Zhaowan was not surprised. Before they were captured, people had died in the village, so they wanted to sacrifice lives to break the curse.

The woman was extremely yin and pure, the most suitable, and that was why she was chosen.

The clan leader knew it best. This village had existed for more than 300 years. It seemed secluded from the world, but disasters occurred one after another, as if it was cursed. There were records of countless villagers who had died, and their causes of death were extremely similar, and no cause could be found.

Some of our ancestors were afraid and wanted to leave and move away from this place, but they died suddenly not long after leaving, and those who returned desperately were in a miserable condition.

Perhaps from that moment on, they knew that they could not escape from this place, so they lived here for generations. If they wanted to go out and earn some money, they had to take secret medicine to save their lives for a short period of time.
