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

Chapter 572 Call Me Zhou Zhaozhao

After walking a little further and turning a corner, the two of them stopped at the same time.

Pei Yan just looked around the room. There was nothing special in the living room. The main thing was probably the room next door.

"Dr. Zhao has been staying at home all the time, so it's difficult for us to go into his house to check on him."

Gu Chaoxi took a look at what he had in his hand and couldn't help but frowned.

Since this thing is for Xiuxiu, I will have to give it to Xiuxiu later.

If Dr. Zhao becomes suspicious and goes to Zhao Xiuxiu's home and makes a mistake, it would be hard to say what will happen.

"There seems to be nothing unusual in Xianxi Village at the moment. Maybe we just haven't found it yet."

Apart from the worship of the Dragon God when they came, they seemed to have been preparing offerings these days.

Apart from Zhao Xiuxiu and Liang Yi, I haven’t seen anyone else who is special.

Doctor Zhao is special, but it’s hard to tell what’s wrong with him.

Gu Chaoxi shook his head and walked towards Zhao Xiuxiu's home with Pei Yan.

"That Doctor Zhao looks to be in his early thirties. If he was behind the Dragon God Sacrifice, the time wouldn't match."

The dragon god worship in Xianxi Village can be traced back several decades.

Considering Dr. Zhao's current age, it doesn't seem likely that he was the one who did it.

However, it is a bit strange that a person who lives in a village rarely goes out all year round and just stays in his own yard.

Even if he doesn't farm, he still needs a source of income to ensure his three meals a day, right?

As they thought about this, the two of them slowly walked to the door of Zhao Xiuxiu's house.

Her mother was still busy in the living room at the moment. When she saw someone coming outside the door, she quickly wiped her hands and ran to the door.

When he saw that it was Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan, his expression was not very good.

"Why are you here again? Don't you have to prepare tributes for your own families? Go away."

Before she took the things and chased them away, Gu Chaoxi quickly stepped forward with the medicine in his hand.

"Aunt, this is the sleeping pill we got from Doctor Zhao. Just soak it in water and drink it. This will help Xiuxiu get better in the next few days."

When she said this, Xiuxiu's mother was stunned for a moment.

"Where did Doctor Zhao get it from?"

"Yes, we just came back from Dr. Zhao, and he also hopes that Xiuxiu will have a good rest in the next two days."

Gu Chaoxi nodded sincerely.

Xiuxiu's mother took the medicine bag, looked at it over and over again, and confirmed that it was indeed from Doctor Zhao. Only then did her tone soften a lot.

Then he couldn't help complaining again.

"You all know to let Xiuxiu have a good rest, but that girl doesn't listen to me and wants to run outside every day. It's really worrying."

Oh? Zhao Xiuxiu wants to run outside?

Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan looked at each other and both noticed something wrong in each other's eyes.

Logically speaking, Zhao Xiuxiu only believed three-quarters of Liang Yi's words, and she still trusted the Dragon God in her heart.

In that case, she should feel very honored to be chosen as the sacrificial girl, right?

After all, in previous sacrifices, it was said that the girls being sacrificed were taken away by the Dragon God and lived a good life.

Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and patted Xiuxiuniang's hand, pointing to the medicine bag in her hand.

"Auntie, mix this with water and give it to Xiuxiu to drink. Let her have a good rest and make sure she doesn't run around anymore."

"Yes, I'll give it to her at night so that I don't have to worry about it."

After a few more words, Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan left.

After leaving Zhao Xiuxiu's home, the two of them wandered aimlessly for a while.

Although Xianxi Village appears to cover a large area, most of it is actually occupied by houses.

Everyone has a front yard and a back yard, so the place naturally seems big.

To be honest, Xianxi Village now has about a hundred people and only fifty or sixty households.

Just as the two of them were walking slowly forward, someone poked his head out from inside the courtyard wall and greeted them.

"Hey, Luo Fangfang!"

The name called was Gu Chaoxi.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a half-grown boy lying on the wall, his clothes already black.

Looks like a naughty kid.

"You should call me sister, right?"

She pointed at herself and then at the other person.

Unexpectedly, the boy lying on the wall glanced at him with disdain, seeming unhappy.

"Luo Fangfang, don't expect me to call you sister, humph!"

"Oh, this little brat is quite courageous."

She smiled and saw the boy flipping out from the courtyard wall, jumping to the ground with nimble movements, then brushing the dust off his legs and walking towards her.

As he got closer, he glanced at Pei Yan standing beside him, seeming displeased.

"Humph, you're hanging out with this guy every day, and he doesn't like you!"

"Hmm?" She looked at Pei Yan thoughtfully.

It seems that someone of Pei Yan's status doesn't like Luo Fangfang, but Luo Fangfang does like her?

But it's not a big deal.

She bent down and looked at the boy in front of her: "Little brat, what do you want to talk to me about?"

He stood upright with his hands on his hips, his little head raised: "Luo Fangfang, I've told you so many times not to call me a brat, you have to call me Zhou Zhaozhao!"

"I, Zhou Zhaozhao, am the only one who truly cares about your own good, so you have to listen to me."

I didn't expect that he has such a big tone at such a young age.

Gu Chaoxi laughed, raised his hand and rubbed Zhou Zhaozhao's head hard, causing him to jump away in displeasure.

While fixing her hair, she glared at Gu Chaoxi.

"Luo Fangfang, you just take advantage of the fact that I like you to bully me every day."

"Oh--"

Gu Chaoxi found it fun.

Zhou Zhaozhao looks like she is ten years younger than Luo Fangfang in her current status. Does this little kid know what love is?

Just when Zhou Zhaozhao was about to step forward and hold Gu Chaoxi's hand, Pei Yan finally stopped him.

Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little boy in front of him with dust on his face, and curled his lips.

"It's no use for you to like her. She doesn't like you. She likes me."

"You!" Zhou Zhaozhao was very angry at his words.

Pei Yan smiled, pulled Gu Chaoxi to his side, interlocked their fingers, and waved them in front of Zhou Zhaozhao.

If this blatant hand holding cannot prove anything, then Zhou Zhaozhao is a fool.

He looked away, raised his hand and patted his chest hard a few times, then he remembered why he called Gu Chaoxi just now.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Are you looking for the secret of the Dragon God sacrifice?"

After these words were spoken, the smiles on Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan's faces disappeared.

If you were just teasing the little brat just now, now you have to take his words seriously.

Gu Chaoxi let go of Pei Yan's hand, squatted down, and his line of sight was lower than Zhou Zhaozhao's.

"what do you know?"

He bit his lip, first glanced at the courtyard wall he had just climbed over, then glanced at Pei Yan.

"Tell me first, are you looking for this?"

She looked up at Pei Yan, and Pei Yan nodded.

"Yes, that's exactly what we're looking for."
