I survive in the weird Liaozhai

~ Manager Tang.

...everyone

He looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him with a cold face, and then looked at Manager Tang who was almost burying his head in the ground.

Everyone was speechless.

"Fuck" This evil Taoist priest is so unrefined in his work. Is this the attitude when asking someone to do something for you?

This is really pushing them into a desperate situation.

The eyes of the people looking at Gu Nian'an gradually became dangerous, and several of them couldn't help but put their hands on the hilts of the knives at their waists.

"Boom"

The bluestone ground cracked, and the cracks spread far away.

Looking at the bluestone floor under Gu Nian'an's feet, everyone swallowed their saliva.

Then quickly remove your hand from the handle of the knife.

Now they remembered that the person in front of them was someone who dared to confront ghosts head-on and was not someone they could afford to provoke.

After a moment of silence, the gatekeeper forced a smile and came to Gu Nian'an. He felt a little uneasy at this moment.

"Master Nian'an, you are joking, right?"

Gu Nian'an looked at the person in front of him coldly, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat before he spoke in a deep voice.

"I don't joke, and I don't like to joke. Today you either follow me to dig graves, or find a way to detoxify yourself."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. I personally developed the poison, and I am the only one who can detoxify it. Moreover, the poison will take effect at this time tomorrow, so think it over before answering me."

...～～Everyone,

This doesn't give them any chance to survive.

If I knew I couldn't win, I would have fought to the death with the person in front of me today.

At noon, halfway up Gufeng Mountain, a group of men were busy working.

Finally they compromised and decided that digging graves might offer a glimmer of hope.

If we insist on fighting, this day next year might be their death day.

Taking a look at the pile of graves in front of him, Gu Nian'an couldn't help but feel fortunate for his decision.

The Li family put a lot of effort into it. The grave mound was built with a whole piece of bluestone, which was mixed with glutinous rice and paste to stabilize it.

To be honest, it would probably be difficult for Gu Nian'an to handle it alone.

But there are a lot of people now, and each of them is a strong man with complete tools, so digging a grave is not a big deal.

In less than two hours, the general outline of the coffin could be seen.

After a while, when everyone had cleared the mud, the blood-red coffin was completely exposed.

After finishing their work, all the big men retreated far away, several meters away from the coffin.

This thing is too weird. If it were to hit them out of the blue, no one would be able to withstand it.

Looking at the burly men cowering in the distance, Gu Nian'an felt speechless.

He knew better than anyone what the current condition of the coffin was.

With the "White Tiger Carrying Corpse Bureau" suppressing everything, it's almost like a dream or something like that.

Ignoring the coffin that had been completely exposed, Gu Nian'an slowly walked to the front of the crowd, bowed and thanked

"Thank you for your help. I will remember today. If you have any difficult problems in the future, you can come to me. I will not refuse you for your peace of mind."

…Everyone was silent, just staring at him.

...~~Gu Nian'an???

Looking at the gnashing of teeth on everyone's faces, he immediately realized that they were still thinking about the antidote.

So he quickly explained, "Manager Tang, brothers, I didn't poison you. I was just joking with you. What I fed Manager Tang and what I put in the wine flask were just candies."

...Manager Tang

...everyone

After listening to Gu Nian'an's explanation, not only did they not relax their expressions, but they looked at him with eyes that were almost spitting fire.

There were even several people who had quietly grasped the hilts of the knives at their waists. This evil Taoist priest was not trustworthy. Was he trying to kill people to silence them?

Gu Nian'an felt even more helpless when he saw that everyone was ready to take action. Is it true that no one believes the truth these days?

So he quickly took out the paper bag containing the candy from his pocket, opened it, and explained to everyone

"The white one is lotus seed candy, which I fed to Manager Tang and put in the wine. The brown one is maltose. I ate a piece of it after drinking the wine. If you don't believe me, you can take it and try it."

"By the way, I bought these candies at Wang's Candy Shop. You can go and ask for them yourself."

After listening to Gu Nian'an's explanation and looking at the candies in his hand, the rough men all stood there in a daze with their eyes wide open.

This damn thief Taoist priest is such a jerk. Is he making a fool of us? He is such a piece of shit.

But...but this evil Taoist priest is too good at fighting. I guess even if we join forces, we can't beat him.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and then they just stared silently at the candy in Gu Nian'an's hand, speechless for a moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Manager Tang quickly came up to smooth things over.

"I told you, Taoist Nian An is not a bad person. How could he do something as tasteless as poisoning someone?"

As Manager Tang spoke, he walked forward, took the two bags of candy from Gu Nian'an's hands and carefully put them into his own arms.

...Gu Nian'an

...Gu Nian'an,

Oh! I have to go buy some more for my junior sister.

Seeing that everyone was about to run away, he quickly called them back.

"Manager Tang, brothers, I'm sorry for scaring you all this time. I have some silver here as an apology to you all."

Then he took out five hundred taels of Jiaozi from his pocket and handed them to Manager Tang. These were given to him by Taoist Master Qi Yuan a few days ago and now they came in handy.

Tang Ziren rubbed his hands embarrassedly, stepped forward, took the Jiaozi from Gu Nian'an, and quickly put it in his arms.

When everyone saw Gu Nian'an apologizing and giving money, their anger had almost subsided, but they still had no intention of coming forward to talk.

"Ugh!"

There's nothing we can do about it since they are just small people. Small people should recognize their own position and stay away from dangerous people or things. Only in this way can they live longer.

When everyone was about to leave, the gatekeeper thought for a moment and finally walked up to Gu Nian'an, took off the long sword from his waist and handed it to him.

"Master Nian'an, I see you don't have any weapons for self-defense. This place is not very safe, so you should keep this knife for self-defense."

Hearing this, Gu Nian'an quickly took two steps forward and took the long knife from the gatekeeper. At this moment, he was a little moved. There are still most good people in this world.

"Thank you, brother. By the way, could you tell me your name?"

"My name is Tang Hao. If you don't mind, you can just call me Old Tang."

………Gu Nian'an

...Gu Nian'an

This shit, he just can’t do it again.

He hesitated but finally decided to ask

"Then does Brother Tang have a son named Tang San?"

??? The gatekeeper

"Which... which Taoist Nian'an, don't look at me as old. I'm less than 20 years old and I haven't got married yet."

"Oh, oh, nothing, nothing, I just heard Master mention before that there was a young hero named Tang San whose father was named Tang Hao, so I asked."

The gatekeeper named Tang Hao did not dwell on this matter too much. It was too dangerous here and it was not advisable to stay there for long.

The gatekeeper clasped his fists, bowed to Gu Nian'an, and left with everyone else.

But at this moment he silently made a decision that if he had a son in the future, he would name him Tang San. It should be right to name him after a great man.

Looking at everyone leaving quickly, Gu Nian'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, this is just an ordinary world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and there are no weird things added.

After collecting his thoughts and adjusting himself for a moment, Gu Nian'an felt that he was almost in his best condition.

Now it's time to get down to business.
