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

Chapter 261: Sacrificial Girl (18)

The noise around him and his mother's crying made the man on the ground squirm. He knew that he was finished now. Besides being frightened, he was filled with endless fear.

However, he caught a few words from Shen Zhaowan's words just now, and then he tried desperately to think of a solution in his mind.

At this moment, of course, I am the most important person, and the first thing that comes to my mind is myself.

Zhao Lan felt dazed, and she hurriedly defended herself: "Patriarch, that was not my intention."

The man also found an excuse: "Zhao Lan forced me to do it. I took her there because I had no choice. Chief, you must believe me. You saw it too. I wanted to take her back at that time."

"No, he is greedy for beauty and money, and he is going to take me away."

The two of them argued until their faces turned red, but there was still shouting all around them, creating a strangely harmonious scene.

Shen Zhaowan sneered inwardly, wondering who of the two could win the argument.

She looked terrified and took a step back in fear.

The patriarch allowed the two to argue without interfering.

Soon, Zhao Lan seemed to think of Shen Zhaowan, and was anxious to ask her to say something, but unfortunately it did not go as Zhao Lan wished.

Zhao Lan looked at Shen Zhaowan who was trembling with anger: "Patriarch, she is also involved."

The clan leader had a serious look on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking. She muttered something to herself, as if she was doubting whether Zhao Lan's sacrifice would be effective.

Even now he looks a little restless.

She heard that this man had planned to escape once before, so she asked her ancestors again, but the answer they gave her was not as strong as last time.

In that case, let's just offer a sacrifice and give it a try.

Zhao Lan was taken away, along with the man with a flushed face.

"Zhao Lan's punishment remains the same. As for the traitors in this village, the Scorpion Cave will wait for three days."

“Ah… Chief!”

Now it seems that the truth is not very important. What is important is the interests of the entire village and everyone’s unity.

The patriarch decided to adjust the sacrificial activities scheduled for tomorrow's day to tonight's midnight, and start it at four quarters past midnight to avoid any further trouble.

Time seemed to pass quickly. Shen Zhaowan and the man were both locked up in a small wooden house near the ancestral hall, and Shen Zhaowan was also placed next door.

Everything portends the coming of unrest.

After Shen Zhaowan's fearful inquiries came to no avail, she could only stay in the house.

With the red wedding dress placed in front of her, Shen Zhaowan's face was filled with fear and tears in her eyes.

"I don't want to be locked up here alone."

"If you want to suffer, then go stay next door."

The temporary guard saw Shen Zhaowan was so scared and pushed her down next to him, locking her up together with Zhao Lan.

They both wanted to be away from each other, very far away.

As soon as the others left, Shen Zhaowan became very calm. She ran her fingers across the corners of her eyes and wiped away the tears.

She walked straight to the man. Once the sacrifice was over, he would also be sent to the Scorpion Cave.

Faced with this, the man began to get scared.

“Hey, if you really take Zhao Lan away, you don’t have to go to the Scorpion Cave.”

Shen Zhaowan mentioned it deliberately, and the man was already trembling. Seeing Shen Zhaowan standing in front of him and talking to him, he raised his head with a dazed look in his eyes. Yes, others may not know, but he knew how terrible this scorpion cave was.

He doesn't even have the courage to face it, it would be great if he could just leave.

Fear made him unable to think, and he could only stare at Shen Zhaowan, trying to seek help.

Shen Zhaowan said softly: "If you want, I can go with you, but you have to tell me how to get out."

The man hesitated, and Shen Zhaowan continued, "I don't know the way. You told me the last point so that I can see your sincerity. Besides, if it weren't for me just now, maybe your punishment would be heavier. Besides, you are a traitor now."

Lin Hewei, who was walking in the shadows, saw Shen Zhaowan standing in front of the man, trying to persuade him to tell her the information she wanted.

He immediately noticed the unrealistic and vulgar look in the man's eyes, and his gaze turned cold, his smile no longer visible.

He was actually afraid that Shen Zhaowan would suffer!

Still have the energy to deceive a man!

Lin Hewei felt extremely upset and even wanted to kill the man.

He stared at Shen Zhaowan's back as if he wanted to burn a hole in it. He did not move forward, but disappeared from this place in an instant, as if he had never been there.

Shen Zhaowan suddenly turned her head, her eyes flashed with understanding.

She looked at the hesitant and indecisive man and had no mood to waste time, so she decided not to say anything.

Zhao Lan didn't react much to Shen Zhaowan's arrival at this moment. Instead, she looked at the red wedding dress in front of her and shivered constantly.

Soon, night falls!

The flickering flames of the candles lit in the room did not bring warmth to anyone, and their hearts only felt cold and confused.

Seeing the unknown getting closer and closer, they were helpless and felt dizzy.

The outside world had gone from quiet to bustling, and preparations for the event had already begun in the ancestral hall.

Zhao Lan suddenly accused Shen Zhaowan: "Nothing good ever happens when you're around!"

The more she spoke, the more she felt she was right: "Why would you choose me? You're the eldest daughter, aren't you? Find someone to save us!"

"Is there anyone here? I am innocently implicated. Just arrest Shen Zhaowan and let me go. I can help you with your work."

Even though Zhao Lan was tied up, she rushed forward a distance in excitement and said some unwilling words.

She seemed to realize her situation again and ordered Shen Zhaowan directly: "Help me untie it!"

"What are you still standing there for? Come here, I helped you before and thought of you in everything, is this how you repay me?"

Shen Zhaowan looked at Zhao Lan, who was filled with anger and unwillingness. She no longer had the hypocritical smile she used to have. Now she didn't look smart at all, and her mouth full of complaints made her look like a madman.

Shen Zhaowan walked up to her and lifted her face with her toes: "You are still so self-touched! When have you ever really helped me? You are just deceiving yourself. Do you really think you are so kind and innocent? How ridiculous!"

"You do everything with a purpose. You said you were helping me but you just wanted to use me. You are just a despicable person who dares not admit it!"

Zhao Lan's eyes were red and full of helplessness.

It seemed as if the real me had been glimpsed, and even I couldn't believe it.

Shen Zhaowan loosened her feet and the room fell silent.

Soon, someone opened the door, and Zhao Lan asked Shen Zhaowan: "Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Zhaowan's expression changed and she trembled. "Of course I'm scared! After all... I don't know what will happen."

Zhao Lan couldn't tell for a moment whether what Shen Zhaowan said was true or false. In her sight, Shen Zhaowan had a frightened expression on her face because the villagers came in holding her wedding dress.
