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

Chapter 271: Sacrificial Girl (28)

Zhao Lan, who was imprisoned in the village, waited for the housekeeper to come and visit her.

It was worth it that she repeatedly begged others to help pass the message.

"Mother-in-law." Zhao Lan seemed very excited because it was so hard to get someone to come and she could talk to her.

The man guarding outside was very tight-lipped, and even when she took the initiative to find a topic, he couldn't say a word in response.

"Zhao Lan, I brought you the food I cooked, please eat." The housekeeper looked at Zhao Lan's current appearance. She seemed to have lost some weight, and her clever eyes seemed to be a little cloudy. It seemed that she had changed a lot after being locked up.

"It's hot, so I made some soup to cool down the body."

Zhao Lan followed her line of sight and saw that the food was much better than what she had eaten before.

She didn't hesitate and picked it up and started eating.

"My mother-in-law is still the best cook."

The housekeeper just looked at Zhao Lan with a smile and said, "If you like, eat more."

"Grandma, you are an elder in the village, do you know when I can go out?"

The housekeeper didn't say it directly, but just comforted her: "Some things have happened in the village now, and the clan leader has been worried about these things. Don't be too anxious. I believe that soon, you will no longer be imprisoned."

Although Zhao Lan didn't show it on her face, she was still anxious in her heart. She had been locked up for so many days and she was irritable. It was as if she couldn't see clearly what her future would be like. She was really uneasy.

"Mother-in-law, can you help me talk to her? I am the only one in this village who knows you. You can let me stay in your house. I also want to talk to you."

The housekeeper looked at Zhao Lan, who was begging her and acting like a spoiled child in front of her, and thought of the series of events that had happened in the village recently.

I still feel a little touched.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting old, but after staying in the village for these days, my body has become dependent on such a comfortable life, and I feel much more at ease than being outside.

Looking at Zhao Lan at this age, she felt that it would be much better to have someone by her side.

If the tribe leader could break the curse on the village, she would save more money and stay in the village and go out less often.

In the end, the housekeeper finally compromised with Zhao Lan.

"This matter still requires the clan leader to think about it. I can't give you an answer now, and you don't have to hold on to too much hope."

Zhao Lan was excited. She was very happy to get this answer.

"Thank you, Grandma."

……

The housekeeper left this place and after thinking it over, she decided to go to the clan leader's house.

It's better to talk about this matter sooner rather than keep it in your heart.

In fact, Zhao Lan didn't ask anyone to look for her, but she had been thinking about her from time to time these days.

There was no one around, the village was dull, and there was nothing to entertain or entertain.

"Patriarch? Are you home?"

The housekeeper knocked on the door.

Soon a serious voice was heard: "Come in!"

She walked in and went towards the patriarch who was sitting in the room!

I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but when I got closer, the housekeeper was a little shocked.

Why does it feel like the patriarch has aged a little in just a few days, and looks old and weak.

She suppressed her emotions and called out, "Chief."

"Are you looking for me because of Zhao Lan?"

The housekeeper flattered: "Patriarch, you have a keen eye. You already know what it is before I even open my mouth!"

"You want me to let her go?"

"I dare not. I think it's hot outside and I have to send someone to watch her alone. It's better to lock her in my house."

"You have the intention to recognize her."

"I can't hide it from the clan leader. I do have some thoughts. But it's not important. If she stays in my house, I can always watch her and have someone to talk to me."

The chief kept his eyes on her and spoke slowly, his tone was tentative, making people dare not lie: "If we need her to sacrifice again, what do you think we should do?"

The housekeeper straightened her face and said without hesitation: "Chief, don't worry. When it comes to the safety of the village, I know what to do. After all, this place is the closest to me."

Suddenly, the clan leader nodded affirmatively: "Okay, in that case, then you can take Zhao Lan home first."

The housekeeper's face lit up with joy.

"...But if I can't find her when I need her, you know the consequences."

"Yes, Patriarch, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of her."

"Well, go ahead."

The housekeeper then left immediately.

After the people left, the patriarch put his hands on his crutches, his face solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

She looked into the distance and sighed heavily.

She returned her gaze to her hands, which had become even drier and darker.

She already had a candidate in mind.

That man didn't kill too many people in the past few days, but I don't know whether the missing Shen Zhaowan is in his hands.

Logically speaking, with that girl's beauty, it seems no one could refuse her. I wonder if Lin's ghost is interested in her.

It’s a pity that the ceremony was not completed, which made her feel regretful whenever she thought about it now.

Otherwise, there would be no need to worry so much about what happens after this!

……

Zhao Lan was taken back the next day. This time, she was very obedient.

At this moment, she actually felt satisfied and thought that it was not bad just like this. All the bold ideas before seemed very far away from her. She felt as if she had never thought about it that way and couldn't believe it.

Having experienced life and death, and being locked up all the time, she now cherishes the simple act of walking on the road or entering the yard.

"Mother-in-law, your home is still the best."

"Go wash up first, I'll go cook."

"Okay, mother-in-law, I'll be quick, I'll help you later!"

In this quiet village, it seemed that only a few laughs could be heard here.

Cemetery

The wind blew up the scattered paper money on the ground, and a pair of feet suddenly stepped on some of the fluttering paper money.

It was Lin Hewei who was carrying the food box.

He carefully protected the food box and focused his attention on the cemetery.

Looking at the freshness of the soil, his eyes fell on the newest grave.

A black gas emerged from his hand and quickly drilled into the room, soon bringing out a bewildered ghost, which was the body of the person who had just died.

When he saw who had called him, he started screaming and shouting.

Obviously, he saw something extremely terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, a lot of ghosts gradually gathered in Lin Hewei's sight, densely packed. The eight who had been calling out suddenly fell silent when they met Lin Hewei's gaze.

All of them before were like wandering souls, without thoughts of their own. They just sensed Lin Hewei's arrival and wandered around the cemetery.

There is a black line on the heads of all the ghosts that is so thin that it cannot be seen without careful observation, and they are just puppets manipulated by Lin Hewei.

That night, the villagers had nightmares and woke up in sweat.

They always felt that something had entered the house at night, and that many dark shadows whose faces they could not see clearly were chasing them in their dreams. They could not get rid of the fear even when they woke up.
