Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 215 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (5)

After eating the delicious food, Jiang Qiucheng's eyes brightened a little, and the original anxiety gradually faded away.

In any case, the current situation is not too bad. After she fills her stomach, she will set off for a walk in the village to see if she can find any useful clues.

She had to speed up and get familiar with the terrain and routes faster to prepare for emergencies.

The time of dusk is very short, just enough time to eat dinner, and the light outside has completely dimmed.

As night fell, Jiang Qiucheng sat alone in a dark room. The wind outside the window brought a hint of coolness and quietly blew through the window lattice, making a subtle rustling sound.

The light in the room is dim, and only the outline of the furniture can be vaguely seen, making people feel an indescribable loneliness and desolation.

Looking at the dim light around him, Jiang Qiucheng stood up and lit a lamp, then placed the lamp on the table in the center. The candle flame swayed the shadows of the furniture from side to side.

Jiang Qiucheng frowned, she felt it was not bright enough.

So, she turned and walked to another corner and lit another lamp.

The light from the two lamps intertwined, and the darkness in the room was dispersed somewhat, but it was still not bright enough.

She lit three lamps in one go, and the whole room became brighter. The dancing flames were full of vitality, dispelling the loneliness around her.

The room lit up, and so did his mood. Jiang Qiucheng packed up the dishes and put them by the door, waiting for someone to take them away.

He closed the door with his backhand and walked down quietly.

The lights in the room were deliberately lit to make it look lively.

This stilted building is some distance away from the village. If you look far away, you can only see a glimmer of light coming from the window.

At this time, as long as people are still in the house, it is impossible not to light the lamp.

With this bright light as a blindfold, you might be able to buy yourself some more time and prevent others from discovering you so quickly.

To say the least, if she was caught after walking only a few steps, she just went downstairs for a casual walk and didn't plan to go very far.

She looked around carefully just now, and there was really no one around here. Except for the people who brought her meals and took her to participate in sacrificial activities, she basically saw no one.

The original owner lived like this from childhood to adulthood, lifeless and without any disturbance.

Before she was really close to death, she had never thought about running away, and she had no idea whether there was someone secretly watching her outside.

So Jiang Qiucheng was very curious as to whether she would be discovered when she went out tonight.

If she was discovered, she would have to know the reason so that she could adjust her strategy in time for the next operation.

It's just that such a reckless move can only be done twice at most, and it's just a matter of words. If the people above notice something is wrong, things may become more difficult.

The moonlight is like water, shining softly on the stilted building, and everything around it is shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere.

The chirping of frogs and insects in the distance also became clearer, and together with the night breeze, added a bit of vitality to the lonely stilted building.

Jiang Qiucheng stood on the dry land in front of the building, with her hands behind her back, walking back and forth in the open space in front of her as if casually, but in fact she was observing the surrounding environment with her peripheral vision.

Seeing that everything was as usual, she became bolder and her scope of activities began to gradually expand.

She was no longer limited to the open space in front of the building, but began to walk around the edge of the building, kicking the gravel at her feet from time to time, looking very leisurely. It seems that if she just walks around, she will not attract the attention of others. What if she continues to move forward and walks into the village?
Jiang Qiucheng looked at the winding road in front of him with undisguised curiosity in his eyes.

But before she could walk out, a figure appeared at the end of the path. It seemed that he was here to find her.

The man held a lantern in his hand and walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of her.

Under the illumination of this lantern, the surrounding scenery seems to become more vivid.

The leaves of the bamboo forest shine with emerald green under the light, and the distant peaks seem to be lit up, presenting a hazy and dreamy beauty.

Jiang Qiucheng's expression remained unchanged and he stood calmly. When the man came closer, he saw that it was the man next to the high priest - Uncle Agum.

"Uncle A Gu, why are you coming to see me so late?" Before the other party could say anything, Jiang Qiucheng took the lead.

Uncle Aguma is a middle-aged man with a kind face, with just the right amount of gentleness and respect on his face, as well as a hint of concern for the younger generation.

Facing Jiang Qiucheng's question, he clasped his hands, leaned forward slightly and said.

"Holy girl, the high priest asked me to invite you over."

Jiang Qiucheng was naturally willing to go to the village when he had the opportunity, but he didn't know what they wanted to do with him, but it was most likely related to his marriage in January.

Jiang Qiucheng was probably somewhat prepared, so he said nothing more, nodded obediently, and followed his footsteps.

The village at night was much quieter than Jiang Qiucheng imagined. Every household stayed behind closed doors, and not even a bird was seen, let alone people.

This gave Jiang Qiucheng an illusion, as if there were only two of them left in this world.

Fortunately, she didn't walk out rashly just now. On such an empty road, she would be particularly eye-catching whenever she appeared.

When passing a fork in the road, Jiang Qiucheng couldn't help but take a second look. That was the direction leading to the exit of the village.

There is only one exit in Shibi Village. If she wants to leave from here, she will have to pass through many places to reach the front of the village.

This is undoubtedly a fantasy to her.

The stilted building she lives in is located in the deepest part of the village. The probability of lurking all the way out from inside and leaving silently is approximately zero.

Not to mention her special status. Everyone in the village, from an eighty-year-old man to a three-year-old child, basically knows her. As soon as she appears, she will be discovered.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that you don't have the conditions to leave smoothly.

Noticing that the footsteps of the people behind him were slowing down, Uncle Agum turned his head in confusion.

Because he was afraid of being discovered by others, Jiang Qiucheng hurriedly adjusted his state and continued to follow him as if he didn't notice anything.

Fortunately, Uncle Agum didn't delve too much into it and continued to lead the way.

After a while, Jiang Qiucheng was brought to a huge building.

Walking all the way inside, there are countless rooms and corridors. These rooms and corridors are intricate and maze-like.

They didn't stop until they reached the deepest room.

The door to the room was open, and it seemed that outsiders were not shunned. But when Jiang Qiucheng saw the scene in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but feel shivers down his spine.
