Chapter 24 Liar

"It's fine if you run away, but you also want to take me with you?"

Shen Chigui realized what Gu Jinli was thinking through her pushing action. He snorted coldly and his face suddenly darkened.

She came here specifically to catch people, how could she possibly follow along?

This stutterer is so naive!

"Since you are so enthusiastic, I can't refuse you."

The corners of his lips raised in a sinister arc, as if a switch was turned on, and Chen Chigui no longer worried about the other person clinging to him tightly.

Instead, he took the initiative to change his position, opened his arms and clamped her with his backhand.

Then, Chen Chigui skillfully took out a rope from his pocket, and while the two were 'hugging each other tightly', he tied Gu Jinli up like a dumpling in a few seconds.

Gu Jinli, who didn't react, said: "..."

So this guy brought a rope, why did he take it out now?

…

No matter how reluctant you are, it seems impossible to resist at this point.

Gu Jinli was tied up neatly and dragged along, and soon arrived at a familiar road.

It was late at night and there was nothing else except the moon hanging high in the sky.

The entire mountain is like a bottomless pool, with no end in sight.

Full of gloom and ominous flavor.

“…”

Huh?

What is that?

Just as he was being dragged back by the heroine Chen Chigui, Gu Jinli reluctantly noticed a strange flash of fire.

The firelight floated faintly in the mountains and was very obvious in the dark night.

Not only that, as the two walked in, the lights actually moved in a very orderly manner, as if a fire dragon was coming towards them.

Oh no!

Judging from the size and number of the flames...it's obvious that someone is coming to the village!

It is easy to guess why the villagers would look for him everywhere in the dead of night.

His heart skipped a beat, and Gu Jinli suddenly had a bad feeling.

It is very likely that your escape will be discovered! Otherwise the current situation cannot be explained at all.

But...why did these people know it so quickly!

-

-

"Here! She's here!"

"Hey, Xiao Qi, why are you here too... Did you catch her?"

"Come on! The person is here!"

…

As the 'fire dragon' got closer, many familiar faces came into view. They were all people from the village, and there were nearly twenty of them.

"As long as we find her, it's fine! We'll have to offer sacrifices the day after tomorrow, so we can't let her get away!"

Holding a torch, the village chief walked through the crowd to the front. He only took a glance at Gu Jinli and the others and knew what was going on.

"Xiao Qi has made great contributions this time. I will reward you after the sacrifice."

What? !

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Jinli’s eyes widened.

No, why?

This guy who ruined her escape plan and forced her to die actually got a reward?

Gu Jinli couldn't accept it!

She was so angry that she almost died!

I had already run away and my freedom was within reach, but this guy intervened.

The sacrifice will be held in two days. After what happened now, the villagers will definitely be more strict in taking care of her.

It would be difficult for her to have such an opportunity again, and she couldn't run away.

"She! She, she, she..."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. This situation where Chen Chigui stepped on his 'corpse' to get rewarded was so familiar.

In just a second, he was back to the days outside the illusion, making Gu Jinli so angry that his whole body was shaking.

Perhaps human potential is so unreasonable. At this critical moment, Gu Jinli, who was overwhelmed by anger, got rid of his previous severe stuttering and spoke much more fluently.

"She is...my accomplice!"

When emotions reach the point of excitement, the voice will become louder.

In this silent mountain, everyone heard Gu Jinli's words clearly.

"She! She...she betrayed me!" said Gu Jinli.

Combined with her indignant expression and angry eyes, these words suddenly became much more convincing.

"What?!"

Logically speaking, a stuttered word should not be taken to heart.

But now, knowing that these two people are likely to be accomplices, the people in the village have to be cautious.

"Are you telling the truth? You said Xiao Qi was your accomplice?! She betrayed you?"

What's going on? !

Did these two people break up?

“No, that’s right!”

Nodding without hesitation, Gu Jinli stared at Chen Chigui with eyes that were no different from a knife.

She finally figured it out. Since this person had made it impossible for her to escape and was going to be used as a sacrifice, she couldn't expect to have an easy life!

If one person dies, it is death; if two people die, it is also death.

Even if she goes to hell, she will take Chen Chi back with her!

There's no reason why you're the only one to suffer!

Isn't it just a lie?

She opened her mouth and spoke.

"She, she gave me...cakes, cakes, and said, she said we should run together..."

With a serious expression, Gu Jinli became more and more anxious as he spoke, but became more and more efficient.

"Later, later, they turned against us when they saw the fire!"

Although the man was tied up, his mouth was not.

Gu Jinli has made up her mind to pull Shen Chigui into the water.

"Is that really the case? Xiao Qi?"

Things turned out to be like this. In front of so many people in the village, it was not easy for the village chief to just let the matter go without asking any questions.

"Of course not."

The clumsy lie can be seen through at a glance, but the determination to fight to the death is eye-catching.

The little stutterer could actually be so funny when he was cornered, Shen Chigui didn't get angry but laughed instead, he was in an unexpectedly good mood.

"How could I be with the little stutterer? I'm not the one who's going to be sacrificed."

yes.

The biggest reason why they want to escape is that they are chosen as sacrifices.

Shen Chigui's words were very insightful and immediately convinced the villagers.

"Yeah, Xiao Qi isn't a sacrifice, why is she running away? It must be this stutterer who is slandering people."

"I never realized this stutterer had some brains..."

…

The clumsy lie was too easy to be exposed, and the people in the village didn't believe it at all. Her plan to drag the heroine into the water was shattered at the very beginning.

but……

"I, I, I...I have proof!"

How could she just admit defeat like that? Gu Jinli raised her head and said loudly, "There is a cake in my arms! She gave it to me! I... I don't have the ability to make it myself!"

Afraid that these people wouldn't believe her words, Gu Jinli gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "She, she, she likes me!"

She closed her eyes and said in a loud voice, "She wanted to...want to be with me...that's why she ran away with me!"

What? !

What these words mean is that Xiaoqi likes Xiaowu and can't bear to let Xiaowu die, so she gave Xiaowu the cake and wanted to elope with him?

But because the people from the village came too quickly, he turned against them? ? ?

Is that what you mean?

The villagers understood immediately, but it would be better if they didn't understand.

It is so outrageous that it makes one's head buzz.

"Xiao Qi is a girl! Xiao Wu is also a girl!"

How can two girls like each other? Or the kind of like...

For a moment, the people in the village looked at Shen Chigui with something wrong in their eyes.

Obviously, Gu Jinli's fabricated story had a great impact on this backward village.

They didn't know what to say.

"Shut up! What are you talking about?!"

In just a few words, his innocence was gone.

Like her? This little stutterer?

It's really tempting... Chen Chigui couldn't laugh anymore.

Her face suddenly darkened, and the ease in her expression disappeared as she stared at Gu Jinli.

"I would like you? What a wild dream!"

Even if she was blind, there was no way she would be interested in this stutterer.

Not to mention she's not blind yet!

"Liar, liar!"

Gu Jinli pursed her lips, her eyes reddened, and she lowered her head silently.

However, this behavior just revealed her grievance and proved her statement.

Suddenly, the crowd began to whisper.

"I heard that Xiaoqi and Xiaowu kissed during the day."

"Yeah, I heard about it too, and I thought it was just a fight between kids."

"Speaking of which, I'm almost fifty years old now. Xiao Qi should be □□ too... I'm almost at the age."

"actually……"

…

The voices of all the chattering were subdued at first, but by the end they became louder and louder as if they were certain of something.

This matter was really too bizarre. In the afternoon, Gu Jinli happened to bite Chen Chigui out of anger, so they were all connected and told together.

This is probably the nature of human beings. We always have unusual ideas about gossip.

“That’s enough!”

It was a really good show!

But a little stuttering could cause such a mess! It's unprecedented.

The village chief snorted coldly, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

"It's already this late and you're still talking and laughing!"

Glancing at Gu Jinli with a light look in his eyes, he clutched the torch and said coldly, "Tie up Xiaoqi first and take them back together! Lock them up together for the next two days, and we'll talk about it on the day of the sacrifice!"

At this point, there is no point in trying to figure out whether it is true or not.

The most important thing now is the sacrifice in two days. To ensure that everything goes well, let’s just tie them all up!

"village head!"

His face turned pale, Shen Chigui never thought that things would turn out like this.

As she watched the villagers obediently take out ropes and walk towards her, her eyes became more and more terrifying.

After a cup of tea.

Chen Chigui and Gu Jinli were tied together like dumplings, and even tied into a string one in front and one behind.

“…”

Silently watching the heroine being tied up like himself, and seeing her rare embarrassed appearance, Gu Jinli's heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

She grinned, and the sigh and gloating in her eyes were almost overflowing.

In fact, she also knew how untenable her lies were, but what did it matter? It is better to kill someone by mistake than to miss someone.

When the sacrifice was about to begin, the villagers were very cautious.

"I won't be tied up forever!"

The sinister gaze began to fall directly on Gu Jinli from the moment her hands were tied.

Shen Chigui was obviously very angry, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he could kill someone.

She will definitely make her look good!

Shen Chigui swore.

"Oh."

Not taking the heroine's threat seriously at all, Gu Jinli simply rolled his eyes, looking pleased.

We are all prisoners, so she is not afraid of her.

…
