Chapter 582 I went out on a date
"When Dr. Zhao left just now, did you notice that he was carrying a box?"
Pei Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and thought carefully about what he had just seen.
Although it was a little dark, Dr. Zhao was holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, so he could still see part of it clearly.
That was the box that Dr. Zhao was carrying when he went to the river to examine Zhou Zhaozhao's body.
"That little medicine box?"
Pei Yan was surprised.
Gu Zhaoxi nodded: "Yes, but I'm afraid that when he went out just now, what he carried was not medicine, but food."
The small first aid box has two layers. If you take out the compartments inside, it becomes a small bucket that appears quite deep.
It's easy to put some food in it, especially some things that are easy to store and filling.
She had been wondering, if there was a person living in the cave, what would that person eat.
Isn’t that the answer? Just eat what Dr. Zhao brought over.
But he probably doesn't go there every day, only once every two days.
Ensure that there is enough food to keep the people inside alive, but at the same time, you cannot arouse suspicion.
When they checked the cave, they didn't find any food residue or anything inside, which meant that the person in the cave didn't have enough food.
Then the people who support him will definitely send him food.
Everyone was preparing tributes during the day, and if Dr. Zhao wanted to pass through the entire village, others would definitely see him.
I can only go out at night.
That's why she wanted to come over at night to check out the situation. Since she already knew that Zhou Zhaozhao's death was somewhat related to Dr. Zhao, there was no point in continuing to stay at Dr. Zhao's house.
After all, from the beginning, Gu Chaoxi didn't think that it was Dr. Zhao who killed the person.
Zhou Zhaozhao might know his secret, but he did not tell it to anyone else. This is enough to show that Zhou Zhaozhao agreed to help Dr. Zhao keep the secret.
In that case, the person who killed Zhou Zhaozhao was the person in the cave whom they did not meet.
"Should we go check out the cave?"
Pei Yan asked, putting the things he had taken out of the bookshelf back.
"No, it's easy to run into Dr. Zhao."
Shaking his head, Gu Chaoxi refused.
It’s so late now, it’s hard to say whether we will gain anything by going to the cave, but we will definitely meet Dr. Zhao.
If we run into Dr. Zhao, we don’t know what to do. The secret of the Dragon God sacrifice lies in Dr. Zhao and the man in the cave.
"Go back to sleep. Let's go to the cave tomorrow morning. I guess that person must be there."
They didn't encounter him when they went to the cave today, which means the person inside was not there.
After returning from the cave, Dr. Zhao did not go to look for any of them, which means they didn't know anyone had entered the cave.
This is good, only in this way can the person inside be sure that he is safe.
It will also be convenient for them to go there tomorrow morning.
As they talked, they restored everything they had just messed up and then left his house.
When I came out, it was pitch black outside and there was no sign of a kerosene lamp.
"It looks like Dr. Zhao won't be back this early. Let's go."
After walking a few steps, Gu Chaoxi thought of the Dragon God Temple.
Although she didn't find anything strange in that ancestral hall at that time, she still felt a little confused.
Since people have to be placed in the pavilion in the middle of the lake when they worship the Dragon God, why wasn't the Dragon God Temple built by the lake in the first place?
After all, according to rumors, the Dragon God lives in the lake.
Strange, she shook her head and quickly followed Pei Yan's steps.
The first place we went back was Pei Yan's residence.
"Be careful, I'll go back first?" Pei Yan turned around and spoke to Gu Chaoxi.
She responded absentmindedly, raised her eyes to look at him, watched him climb over the wall, and then continued walking forward.
Although it was pitch black ahead, I always felt that something would suddenly emerge from the darkness.
But when I think about it, I know what I am doing now, so why should I be afraid?
His shoulders, which were originally trembling a little, immediately suppressed their fear after this thought came to his mind.
When I got back to where I lived, I climbed over the wall.
Fortunately, the old lady's door was still closed as it was when she left, and nothing unusual was found.
However, Gu Chaoxi had just returned to the room and had not yet had time to get into bed when he heard a voice coming from the darkness.
"What did you go out for?"
She was so scared that she sat up in an instant. There was clearly no sound in the room when she just came in!
Subconsciously, she reached out and turned on the light in the room.
The person squatting beside the bed didn't expect that she would subconsciously turn on the light. His eyes were dazzled by the sudden light and he raised his hand to cover them.
The old lady was just wrapped in a coat, squatting beside her bed.
Gu Chaoxi broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, sat on the edge of the bed and stepped back.
"What are you doing?"
Did you know that there is no penalty for scaring someone to death?
The old lady adjusted to the light source and then put her hand down. She looked at her and said, "Tell me, what have you been doing? Why didn't you sleep well in your room?"
"I'm out on a date! What do you care about me?"
She snorted, and some people in the back row patted their chests.
The old lady was still normal, without any abnormal behavior, but she didn't look very happy to hear her words.
"Luo Fangfang, let me tell you, our family is blessed by the Dragon God. Don't think you can be proud of not being chosen just because you're clever."
Apparently, the old lady believed that being chosen by the Dragon God was a happy thing.
But what does this have to do with her, Gu Chaoxi?
The one who doesn't want to be elected is Luo Fangfang. If you have the guts, go and scold Luo Fangfang.
"Tsk, I'm going to sleep now. It's up to you whether you want to sleep or not."
She didn't care anymore, turned over, put the cup to the side of her body, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
The old lady was so angry with her, but she couldn't win the argument with her.
He stood up from the ground tremblingly, holding on to the bed and swaying a little.
After squatting on the ground for a long time, I suddenly felt dizzy when I stood up. It must be because I’m getting old.
Seeing that she completely ignored her, the old lady knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she immediately walked towards the door.
After walking for a while, holding on to the door frame, he couldn't help but look back at her.
"Fangfang, why don't you listen? If you disobey the Dragon God, there will be punishment from heaven!"
Luo Fangfang is the only child in their family in this generation. What else do they want?
The old lady helped her turn off the lights and left trembling.
Back then, didn’t Luo Fangfang’s parents get drowned because they disrespected the Dragon God?
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhaozhao who died probably died of the same cause.
The old lady felt sad, went back to her room, closed the door, and couldn't stop her heart from trembling.
