late at night.

Cheng Li was awakened by the sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes immediately. The door opened with a creaky sound, and a group of sheep-headed men walked in from outside, dragging unconscious men and women.

They arrested new people.

After watching the sheep-headed man rudely throw the people in his hands to the ground, they filed out without stopping.

Cheng Li looked through the crack in the door and saw that they were all heading towards the place with burning fire and rising smoke in the distance...

The next morning.

After waking up, the newly captured people became as panicked as before, crying and making a fuss. Soon, the sheep-headed man rushed into the room and ruthlessly cut the people's necks with a dagger in front of everyone, which frightened them.

For a moment, there was no more crying sound, only terrified faces.

Cheng Li and Li Zhao stood at the back in an inconspicuous position, quietly watching this extremely short farce.

"Everyone follow me!"

The sheep-headed man in the front growled in a low voice, turned around and pushed open the door.

Everyone followed the sheep-headed men in fear. Cheng Li discovered that they were heading towards the altar. Along the way, she saw many sheep-headed men wearing red coats. Each of them was holding a black square box wrapped with red ribbons.

Sacrifice?

Take them for sacrifice?

Cheng Li lowered his eyes and finally arrived at the altar under the guidance of the sheep-headed man. The aroma of meat filled the air.

The altar was still ablaze with flames, and the giant pot above was still filled with piles of tender bones and flesh.

She narrowed her eyes and looked around vigilantly, and found that the altar was surrounded by sheep-headed people wearing red coats. They all had their hands clasped together, facing the big pot very piously, muttering something, and in front of each of them was a bowl of steaming bone and meat soup.

"What are they doing?" Li Zhao whispered into Cheng Li's ear, "There's a big red sedan chair over there..."

A big red sedan?

Cheng Li immediately looked in the direction Li Zhao pointed, and found that a big red sedan chair had been carried there by a sheep-headed man at some point. It looked festive, but the pattern on the curtain on the sedan chair was a little weird.

The pattern on the curtain above is a... tangled black thing, with a very long body, like a snake, and because of the scales on its body it looks like a fish.

"Get up!"

Cheng Li was suddenly pushed by the sheep-headed man behind him and staggered. The sheep-headed men next to him grabbed their collars rudely and drove them to the altar.

The sheep-headed men who were originally muttering to themselves around the altar suddenly stopped talking and all raised their strange eyes to stare at them.

Everyone was forced onto the altar, close to the boiling cauldron. Under the pressure of the sheep-headed man, they were forced to kneel around the cauldron one by one.

After a while, a voice was heard shouting, "Welcome the high priest!" Cheng Li raised his eyes quietly and saw a sheep-headed man dressed in white and red, leaning on a crutch, and with the help of others, he walked up the stairs on the edge of the altar step by step, and finally sat in a position on it, looking down at them from above.

"Please ask the high priest to use his magical powers to identify the person destined by the river god!"

"What the hell? It's not some ghost marriage." Li Zhao frowned and couldn't help rubbing his fingers and thinking wildly, "If we are not chosen, will we all be thrown into the pot and boiled? This is a dead end."

Cheng Li's eyes were dim, "Let's see, things will work out when we get to the bridgehead..."

The goat-headed man who was called the high priest stood up slowly, clasped his hands together with a pious look, and after mumbling for a while, he suddenly pointed with his finger!

That direction is facing Cheng Li.

She immediately frowned, her eyes gloomy.

The next moment, the goat-headed men appeared, and she was clamped by the shoulders and pulled up by them.

"Cheng Li!"

Li Zhao spoke immediately, quickly stood up and grabbed her shoulders.

He instantly became the focus, and countless sheep-headed men stared at Li Zhao with horrified and terrifying eyes, revealing deep cruelty.

They wanted to kill Li Zhao.

After confirming this, Cheng Li raised his eyes and signaled Li Zhao to let go.

"I'll be back soon, just stay here and don't die."

"..." Li Zhao wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Finally, he sighed deeply and watched Cheng Li's back as he was escorted away.

Cheng Li was brought into a big red sedan by them. Before he could sit down properly, the sedan was lifted up and started to sway as it moved.

She looked solemn, and she had a bad feeling...

"Squeak-"

Cheng Li was brought back to her senses by a sudden piercing sound. The red sedan had already stopped. She stayed there for a while, and there was silence outside.

She narrowed her eyes, bent down and opened the curtain of the sedan chair. Facing her was a house that looked extremely dilapidated and was surrounded by desolate land.

Cheng Li slowly got off the sedan and found that the sheep-headed people who carried the big red sedan were still there, but they were standing there motionless like lifeless puppets.

The door of the house was wide open, probably to let her in...

The inside was very clean and tidy, completely different from the shabby outside. The flowers everywhere, the dressing mirror and the dressing table all indicated that this was a woman's room.

She frowned and walked to the dressing table, picking up a headdress on it in confusion.

The shape of the headdress is exactly the same as the pattern on the sedan chair curtain...

tread--

Cheng Li immediately turned her head and saw a goat-headed person wearing a bright red wedding dress approaching from behind. She was holding a similar wedding dress in her hand, and the exposed skin was slightly gray.

This woman is like a robot, with incredibly great strength.

As soon as he got behind Cheng Li, he reached out and pressed her down on the stool. The temperature of his hand was like that of a dead person.

She placed the wedding dress in Cheng Li's arms in a daze. The fishy smell immediately hit her nose, and the damp and sticky smell made her feel very uncomfortable.

Cheng Li stared at the bright red wedding dress with a frown that could have killed a fly.

The sheep-headed woman behind her helped her put on the wedding dress and then personally helped her put the strange headdress on her hair.

After a while, the sheep-headed woman took Cheng Li, who was already dressed, into the big red sedan.

At that moment, Cheng Li actually felt a sense of relief from her mask.

Cheng Li, wearing her wedding dress, was carried away again by a group of sheep-headed people.

Staggering all the way, Cheng Li felt the coldness becoming more and more oppressive.

"Boom-"

The sudden stop of the sedan made Cheng Li immediately alert.

Then the sedan was lifted up again and thrown forward suddenly. The huge feeling of weightlessness as the sedan fell caused Cheng Li to fall out from the curtain!

"boom!"

Huge splashes of water occurred, and Cheng Li fell directly from the sedan chair into the freezing water. She waved her arms almost instantly!
