I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 565: Sacrifice in 3 Days

The night became darker.

Gu Chaoxi lay in bed, tossing and turning several times but couldn't fall asleep.

It's not even 10 o'clock in the evening now. Why do people in Xianxi Village go to bed so early?

She turned sideways and looked at the light she had not turned off.

The room she was in was the one on the right after entering the room. The oilcloth next to it was glowing a little under the light.

The house was quiet. The shadows of the chairs stacked nearby were cast on the wall, stacked together in a mess, like a monster crawling out of the ground.

Gu Chaoxi sighed, sat up from the bed and leaned against the headboard.

This night, everyone seemed to be uneasy.

Except for Shen Lan and Luo Zijia who were in the same room, the rest of the people were from separate families.

This means that if they encounter any problems at night, they will not be able to ask others for help, and others may not have time to help.

Of course, Pei Yan felt that as long as he didn't go out at night, the risk factor was still very small.

After all, it was stipulated that we should go to bed early at night and close the door tightly early, so it was obvious that the house was safe at night.

But how can we learn more about this village faster?

He thought about it, got up from the bed, and tiptoed towards another room.

The person on the bed was indeed not asleep. When he saw someone pushing the door open, the expression on his face suddenly darkened.

"You little dog, what are you doing instead of sleeping?"

The man sitting on the bed had an untidy beard and looked a bit old, but his arms and legs were lean and he looked like someone who worked all year round.

Pei Yan laughed foolishly and looked at the other party: "Aren't we going to have a sacrifice in a few days? I'm a little worried about whether the things for the sacrifice are ready."

"Why should you worry about this? I, your father, have already prepared it. The sacrifice will be held in three days. Don't cause me any trouble."

As he said this, he pretended to get up from the bed and hit Pei Yan.

He immediately stepped back, closed the door and shouted to the people inside: "Dad, I was wrong, I'm going to sleep now!"

When the door was completely closed, the sound inside also disappeared.

Pei Yan's lips curled up into a smile and he slowly walked towards his room.

Once you figure out the time, things will be much easier.

All I have to do is find everyone tomorrow and then go together to find out more about the sacrificial girl.

Now that the person for the sacrifice has been chosen, that person must not be able to walk around the village freely in the recent period. It would be bad if he ran away.

Thinking of this, Pei Yan climbed onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and decided to go to bed early to facilitate tomorrow's actions.

The village was silent all night long, with almost no lights on in any house.

If you look down from Xianxi Village, who would have thought that this is the location of a village?

And those lantern boats floating in the river, after reaching a certain position, fell into the lake one by one, and the candles were extinguished.

As the wind and waves picked up, the lantern boats were blown everywhere.

When daybreak came, there was no trace of the lantern boat on the lake.

Gu Chaoxi rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.

There is a large window on the right side after entering this room.

During the day, light from outside shines on the windows, and the windows bring the light into the house.

The oilcloth reflected light very strongly, it was even dazzling, which made Gu Chaoxi feel a little uncomfortable in his eyes.

The bigger reason was that she was woken up by the shaking before she could even get a good night's sleep, which made her feel a little unhappy.

But it was already daybreak and there were still things to do, so Gu Chaoxi didn't waste any time and just got out of bed.

She went to the backyard to press water to wash up, tied up her loose hair, and then looked at the woman who brought her back yesterday.

The woman was cooking by the stove. The fire was burning brightly and there was a crackling sound in the air.

Gu Chaoxi leaned against the door frame of the back door and looked inside.

The woman saw Gu Chaoxi leaning against her, and turned her head to look at her: "If you have nothing to do, go and pack up the tributes, but don't leave our family behind."

"Oh, you clean it up." She replied calmly.

The woman stared at him, picked up the broom beside her and stood up from the stool.

"You don't want to do anything, do you? When will the Dragon God take a liking to you?"

"Hmm?" Gu Chaoxi frowned.

Does the Dragon God like you?

What does that mean? Wasn't the girl for the sacrifice chosen from their village?

Thinking of this, Gu Chaoxi's eyes darkened a little. He lowered his head and fiddled with his hands nonchalantly, and his tone sounded ordinary.

"The Dragon God doesn't like me because he has no vision, not because I'm incapable."

The woman was so angry that she came up and hit Gu Chaoxi's leg with a broom. Although the force was not strong, the broom bristles felt uncomfortable on the thigh.

"Humph, you were supposed to be chosen this year, but you suddenly said you were hungry, so the Dragon God looked down on you. I am so unlucky to have given birth to a little girl like you!"

She looked very angry. As she spoke, she threw the broom to the ground and turned back to add firewood to the stove.

Gu Chaoxi bent down and picked up the broom on the ground, but he was not annoyed at all. He put the broom back and walked into the room.

"What are you doing now!"

The woman was a little unhappy and yelled at her back.

"Isn't breakfast ready yet? I'll sleep a little longer. Call me when you're ready."

She waved her hand, smiled and went to her room.

It can be seen that the person who is now replacing the position has such a personality, so she is not revealing it.

Shen Lan and Luo Zijia were tied together by someone else, and their old father and mother at home asked them to cook.

Luo Zijia looked at Shen Lan, feeling speechless.

She was a girl who was spoiled since childhood. Although her family was not particularly wealthy, her parents never let her enter the kitchen and she had never learned how to cook.

Now that she is in this plane, she is asked to cook, and on a wood stove. Isn't this asking for her life?

In comparison, Shen Lan was much calmer and pulled Luo Zijia into the kitchen.

"Whatever they say, you have to do it even if you're just pretending. Don't anger the people in the plane."

There is also the so-called Dragon God in this plane. Regardless of whether there is a real Dragon God or not, it is better to be obedient to avoid the plane associating these characters with the Dragon God.

"But I can't." Luo Zijia said in a low voice.

Shen Lan smiled and added some firewood to the stove: "This is basically the leftover food from yesterday. Just heat it up a little bit. You can just help me."

Although it is not necessary to actually cook, Shen Lan still thinks it is better to do it herself in order to fill her stomach.

After all, the weather in this plane is a bit cold now, so it’s better to eat hot meals and hot dishes.
