Chapter 569: Just Deceiving People
"Aunt, we don't want to go out with Xiuxiu, we just want to see her and talk to her for a while."
Gu Chaoxi blinked his eyes, trying to act cute.
But it was obvious that the other party didn't really want Zhao Xiuxiu to see them, so they just put down the things in their hands and got up to chase them away.
"Go back and do what you need to do. Don't mess around here!"
"Go, go, go, hurry up and leave."
Having said that, he chased Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan out.
There was no choice but for the two to come out.
In order to prevent the two people from going in and making trouble again, Xiuxiuniang even closed the door directly. It seemed that she really didn't want anyone to make trouble at this time.
Gu Chaoxi sighed and walked to the side.
They didn't know which room Zhao Xiuxiu's was. If they knocked on the window rashly, and it turned out to be Xiuxiu's mother who opened the window, they would be walking into a trap.
“What should we do now?” Although Violet didn’t quite understand why they had to go find Zhao Xiuxiu, she knew there must be a reason why Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan did so.
But in reality, the two of them were just thinking about whether they could get something directly from Zhao Xiuxiu's mouth.
Now it is obviously not possible.
Joseph popped his head aside and raised a hand cautiously.
"Then let's just go find Liang Yi."
That makes sense. Since there is no breakthrough with Zhao Xiuxiu, why don't they go directly to Liang Yi?
"Walk."
Gu Chaoxi said this and walked towards the road next to him. After walking a few steps, he realized something was wrong and turned around.
"We don't know where Liang Yi lives?"
"Take your time to search, and we still have to prepare tributes." Shen Yao said, and walked to the side of the road.
Although Gu Chaoxi doesn't need to prepare tribute, it doesn't mean that others don't have to.
Before Shen Yao went to bed last night, the old man in the family ordered him to go back home to help prepare delicious food to offer as a sacrifice to the Dragon God.
So everyone followed Shen Yao's footsteps.
A few people were wandering around Xianxi Village and they actually saw Liang Yi sitting at the door of his house.
There was a basin of something that looked like grass in front of him, which was being washed.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw a group of people walking towards his door.
He immediately stood up from the stool, wiped the water on his hands on his clothes, and then looked at them: "You, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, just came to chat with you."
Pei Yan smiled, walked towards Liang Yi, and put his hand on his shoulder.
He tilted his head and whispered in Liang Yi's ear: "We went to look for Xiuxiu just now, but her mother wouldn't let her go out."
When Liang Yi heard the name, his reaction was indeed quite big. He almost immediately turned his head and glared at Pei Yan.
Gu Chaoxi took a few steps forward, squatted down with a smile and looked at the contents of the basin. It seemed that he was going to make some cakes to give to the Dragon God.
But I don’t know if this thing will end up in Liang Yi and Zhao Xiuxiu’s stomachs?
She raised her eyes, supported herself on her knees and stood up from the ground, looking at Liang Yi.
"You don't have to look at him like that. You know the reason why Zhao Xiuxiu couldn't come out."
Liang Yi gritted his teeth, punched the air angrily, turned around and walked into the house, muttering to himself.
"What Dragon God? He is nothing but a deceitful person!"
She raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to grab Liang Yi's sleeve. Although her hand slipped away, Pei Yan was fast and pulled it back to Liang Yi in no time.
"What on earth are you going to do?!"
He was a little angry, but Pei Yan and his men were more numerous and he couldn't defeat them all by himself.
What if they were going to cause trouble for him?
Gu Chaoxi leaned over and spoke in a low voice so that only the three of them could hear it.
"Liang Yi, I know you don't believe in the Dragon God, maybe we can help you."
"You guys?" He obviously didn't trust her very much, with doubt in his eyes.
The people in this village have been told since they were born that Xianxi Village is a village blessed by the Dragon God, so they have to sacrifice young girls to the Dragon God every year.
Many people in the village believe that having more children means more blessings, so every family has quite a few children.
The family that Gu Chaoxi lived in was an accident. Luo Fangfang's mother and father died of illness very early.
Judging from the family situation, Luo Fangfang should have had a brother or sister, but it seems that he died of illness.
Therefore, Luo Fangfang became a carefree person and was not afraid even of being disciplined by her grandmother.
"You guys were the most excited people during the Dragon God Sacrifice last year."
Liang Yi smiled bitterly, shook off Pei Yan's hand, and didn't want to listen to him at all.
"I know that those lantern boats were salvaged and burned."
Gu Chaoxi said it suddenly, and Liang Yidun stood still.
He blinked, raised his hand and rubbed it again, as if he couldn't believe it.
But Gu Chaoxi's serious expression was not a joke. Liang Yi's eyes swept back and forth between Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi several times, and finally confirmed that what they said was true.
He turned around and looked inside the house. No one came out of the room, so he walked towards the open space at the door.
Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan also followed.
When he reached a position slightly closer to the front edge, Liang Yi stopped, looked towards the house vigilantly again, and then looked at Gu Chaoxi.
"When did you know about this?"
"Just recently." Isn't worshipping the Dragon God a recent thing? Of course she only knew about it recently.
Liang Yi had a complicated expression and spoke slowly: "I discovered something was wrong two years ago."
Two years ago, Liang Yi and Zhao Xiuxiu were not in a relationship yet.
At that time, he was a naughty boy. His favorite thing was to go fishing and play skipping stones by the river.
Occasionally when it’s hot in summer, he likes to go down to the river and play in the water.
The river water in Xianxi Village is all spring water flowing down from the mountains. It is cool and looks clean.
It was not until the worship of the Dragon God two years ago that Liang Yi discovered something was wrong.
At that time, people worshipped the Dragon God as usual and put the lantern boat in the river.
As long as the river flows downstream and reaches the lake, it will be received by the Dragon God.
Liang Yi happened to go into the water that day and accidentally dropped the silver locket he always wore into the water.
He tossed and turned, thinking about waiting until the worship was over before going into the water to fish it out.
As a result, he was forcibly taken away by his family after the worship that day. He had no choice but to disobey for the first time and sneaked out to look for something in the river.
When he went into the water, he remembered that there was still candle light at the end of the river.
After he floated and sank in the water several times, the lights disappeared.
At that time, Liang Yi still had faith in the Dragon God. He wondered whether the Dragon God accepted their worship and wanted to see the true face of the Dragon God.
So he swam in the water all the way towards the lake.
But when they reached the river mouth, they were blocked by a very thick fishing net.
Liang Yi remembered that there had always been no cover at the river mouth, so he wondered when this fishing net appeared.
