Chapter 258: Sacrificial Girl (15)
Chapter 258: Sacrificial Girl (15)
Zhao Lan knew that something big must have happened in the village, but her mother-in-law didn't show it. She was even more frightened and wanted to ask her but couldn't open her mouth.
She was extremely anxious and even thought about taking a risk at night. So far, she had not seen any villagers go out.
At this time, a rare person came into the yard. It was the second son. The housekeeper walked into the house without saying anything, took out a purse and threw it to him.
He weighed it and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he saw Shen Zhaowan sitting in the yard.
She was wearing an orange-red dress, with her hair half tied up, the rest flowing in the wind, scattering on her shoulders and back.
He knew before that she was good-looking. Now that she was dressed neatly and her face was fully exposed, he could see her more carefully and clearly. He was struck by her beauty and elegant temperament. He couldn't help but think of the words his mother often whispered in his ears.
There were other thoughts in his eyes.
Any man would be moved by Shen Zhaowan's look.
He was an ordinary villager, still a young man, and he felt hot all over after taking a few glances.
He wiped his forehead and quickly turned and left.
Zhao Lan noticed this with her sharp eyes and started to think about other things. This man must know the way out, and now he seems to have taken a fancy to Shen Zhaowan. Does she want to exchange interests?
Shen Zhaowan lowered her head, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
It's time to come.
……
This time, Zhao Lan seemed to have made up her mind and chose to sacrifice Shen Zhaowan. She also had no time to continue to please the mother-in-law in charge, after all, time was running out.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Zhao Lan also noticed that the man came here more often.
Finally, after dinner, she found a suitable opportunity to talk to him.
"Hey, brother, why do you look upset?"
The man was surprised. He didn't expect to be seen. "What does this have to do with you? Just stay inside!"
"I didn't go out. My feet are still in the yard." Zhao Lan carefully lay down beside a low wall.
The man couldn't find any other reason and was about to leave, but his mother said that if he really found a wife, maybe his affairs would be settled, and his mother wouldn't have to worry about it all the time, and would be able to get over the grief of losing her son!
Besides, the girl I originally chose is from the village, so won’t it be the same if I go back when the time comes?
After thinking about it, he felt that there were more benefits and came here involuntarily.
"Hey, we know each other. I asked you that question because I care about you. If it was someone else, I wouldn't ask and would just pretend I didn't see it!"
Zhao Lan became more and more excited as she spoke. When she saw that the man seemed to be hesitating and didn't leave, she asked directly, "Are you interested in my sister Shen?"
"...You, that's not true." The man retorted with a red face. His honest and ordinary face had some other expressions, making him look even uglier!
Zhao Lan held back her disgust and said, "Don't hide it from me. I came to talk to you because I see that you are honest. I want to call you big brother, so don't hide it from me, okay?"
"So what if I have it? So what if I don't?"
Zhao Lan felt that the situation was under her control. "Hey, you're thinking the wrong thing. We've all been brought here. This is your territory. What are you worried about?"
"Since you are a nice person, I will tell you a secret. My sister Shen has been worried recently. She is worried that she will be sold to someone else again!"
"No." The man said very quickly. Zhao Lan's smile deepened. It seemed that everyone knew what would happen to them.
"When you left today, Sister Shen even praised you!"
"Really?" The man was surprised!
"Would I lie to you? You are my elder brother. I call you elder brother because I treat you as a relative."
The man was not completely confused: "Why are you telling me this?"
"Of course I want to see what kind of person you are first. If Miss Shen wants to be with you, I can help her check it out."
Zhao Lan's warm-hearted look and concern for Shen Zhaowan also made the man believe it.
He thought about it more deeply, and was dominated by fear again. "It's getting late. I'll go back first and think about it."
"Okay, well, if Sister Shen has a place to go, I won't have to worry about it anymore and can focus on honoring my mother-in-law." She pretended to lament, letting the man's thoughts follow.
Zhao Lan looked at the man who was leaving and had the answer in her mind. It seemed that she didn't need to persuade him any more and she would be halfway to success.
As for the other half, he believed Shen Zhaowan would be grateful to her. She did it for Shen Zhaowan. This was the best destination for her! In the end, he still saved her.
Zhao Lan didn't know that Shen Zhaowan knew about this late-night conversation.
After the man returned, he met his own mother again. The old woman was very smart and seemed to have guessed where her son had gone. Since it was related to her son, she did not reveal it and even forgot the warning from the clan leader. "My dear, I can only rely on you now. If you can find a wife, our family will have an heir. This is a big deal. Who can bully us?"
"Mom, I got it. Go to sleep first!"
……
Lin Hewei, who Shen Zhaowan had been talking about not seeing for a few days, was sitting in his old nest!
He looked at the coffin in front of him with a heavy gaze, and everything seemed dull.
When he asked Zhao Lan to tell stories before, what she said was not as much as what he had heard, and it was not as interesting as the story of that immortal clan leader leading the villagers in chanting scriptures!
The only thing that attracts attention is that she seems very simple and carefree!
It is what people like him miss and yearn for the most!
It was like seeing my original self, when I was carefree.
What concerned him most was that she seemed to be related to someone he was familiar with.
……
Shen Zhaowan pretended to know nothing and watched Zhao Lan plan everything.
In the original plot, Zhao Lan was also like this. It happened that the male protagonist wanted to prove something at that time, and took Zhao Lan away by the way. She was wearing a red wedding dress for sacrifice, and she couldn't escape and was pushed into the abyss...
Shen Zhaowan sneered in her heart. Time and experience have changed Lin Hewei. Someone who has experienced pain like him naturally longs for someone pure and innocent and hates scheming people!
He thinks that simple people will never let down the sincerity.
But could it be Zhao Lan?
But Shen Zhaowan just wanted to watch Lin Hewei sink step by step into the woman he hated. Isn't it more interesting?
On the second to last day, the man came to the low wall again. He hadn't seen Zhao Lan for a long time. Just when he was about to climb over quietly, Zhao Lan appeared, and Shen Zhaowan appeared with her.
Shen Zhaowan was pulled by Zhao Lan, looking confused.
When they got closer, Shen Zhaowan saw that there was another man, and she silently asked Zhao Lan what this meant.
"Don't be afraid. I brought you here because I naturally hope that Sister Shen is doing well. You and I are both in the same boat. Let's just laugh it off and get over the previous conflict!"
"This is Brother Li, he can help us!"
Where Shen Zhaowan couldn't see, Zhao Lan winked at the man, and the man quickly reacted!
"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person and I can help you."
Shen Zhaowan deliberately delayed time. Now that Lin Hewei didn't see Zhao Lan in the room, he came here directly.
Watching their every move.
Lin Hewei's eyes turned cold. He saw clearly the secret code between Zhao Lan and the man, which seemed unusual.
Unexpectedly, this woman Zhao Lan has such a side that she can even bring Shen Zhaowan into the picture while chatting and joking.
However, he stared at Shen Zhaowan. She was so smart that she would definitely see through such a simple trick!
