I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Looking at the golden and silver pupils of the young man in front of her, Song Ruyue was distracted for a moment.

But she reacted quickly, and then looked at the boy in front of her with some doubts.

"Can Benefactor tell fortunes?"

"I only know a little bit. I should have said that I am a Taoist priest."

Gu Nian looked at the girl in front of him quietly, a hint of pale golden light flickering in his eyes.

"Really? Then what do you need me to prepare?"

"The birth date is enough"

"Three quarters of an hour in the Gengchou year"

Without hesitation, Song Ruyue immediately reported her birth date.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Nian'an raised three old copper coins and started spinning them in his hand.

After a while, he threw three coins on the table one by one. When the coins finished spinning, two were heads up and one was tails down.

Is this Shaoyang, Qian Gua?

Gu Nian'an thought for a moment before slowly speaking

"Ms. Song was born in the Chen hour, so she is destined to be rich. She will not have to worry about money in this life.

Just don't take relationships too seriously or you'll get hurt.

Also, don't trust others too much, especially those around you, because sometimes they are not trustworthy.

But generally speaking, Miss Song's life is pretty good. Although there will be minor disasters, they will all turn out well."

Listening to the young man's narration, Song Ruyue's mind was in turmoil and she couldn't help but think too much.

When she came to her senses, she remembered that she had something important to do with Gu Nian'an.

"My benefactor, when my sisters were bathing and changing clothes at midnight, I noticed that something was wrong with their expressions, so...~~"

Ugh!

Gu Nian'an had no way to deal with this.

“Don’t worry about it. You can’t do anything about it. You can’t stop someone who wants to die.

You can’t be with them all the time, you can only wait for them to figure it out. If they insist on dying, that’s their own choice, and we have no right to interfere.”

It was very difficult for a woman who had been raped by bandits to survive in this feudal ancient society.

Perhaps revenge is their only obsession in life. Gu Nian'an is not sure whether it is right or wrong to allow them to take revenge.

Shao Qin saw that the ink on the paper on the table had dried, so Gu Nian'an gently pulled it out from under the silver ingot and handed it to the girl in front of him.

Song Ruyue was a little surprised when she saw the paper handed to her.

"My benefactor, this is...~"

"Take your time, let's take a look and then talk."

Gu Nian'an pushed the paper forward a little more.

After carefully reading the contents written on the paper, Song Ruyue was unable to understand all the contents written on it.

"My benefactor, Kisaragi is not very proficient in handicrafts, so...~~"

Gu Nian'an waved his hand

“You don’t have to fully understand it, you can try making it after you are settled.

Remember not to tell anyone else the operating methods and raw materials described above.

If you want help, those poor women are your best choice."

"What the benefactor meant is...~~"

"They are very pitiful. Their relatives have passed away. Even if they still have relatives, it is unlikely that they can return now, so I would like to ask you to take care of them."

Judging from Song Ruyue's speech and behavior, she should not be a lady from an ordinary family.

In addition to the way the little girl addressed her in the afternoon, Gu Nian'an could probably guess that Miss Song's identity was not simple.

And judging from Song Ruyue's expression and behavior today, she doesn't seem like a desperate person with nowhere else to go, so she is his only choice now.

I still have a lot of things to do and I don’t have much time to waste in Guobei County.

"You are too kind, benefactor. I sympathize with what my sisters have gone through. Even if you hadn't said it, I would have done my best to take good care of my sisters."

Song Ruyue was speaking from the heart. Their Song family still had some power in Guobei County, and taking care of a few homeless women was not a big problem.

Seeing Song Ruyue agreed readily, Gu Nian'an felt a little relieved.

Then he kicked the gold and silver jewelry piled on the ground.

"I will only take a hundred taels of silver. You can take as much as you can tomorrow for the rest. If you really can't carry it, you can find a place to bury it and come back to take it when you need it."

Song Ruyue looked at Gu Nian'an, then looked at the gold and silver jewelry piled at his feet, and quickly waved her hand to refuse.

"We have no way to repay your kindness, benefactor. How can we covet your silver?"

"Don't rush to refuse. There are a lot of them, and it costs money to take care of them when they are homeless.

I don’t need much money, and I can’t take these things with me. I think you and them need these things more than I do.”

"Miss Song, it's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest. You have to travel tomorrow and need to stay alert."

Song Ruyue wanted to refuse, but since the other party had already ordered her to leave, she couldn't say anything more, so she bowed and turned away.

After Song Ruyue left, Gu Nian'an turned his head and looked towards the northwest of the village. He raised his hand and touched his eye sockets, and couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

It seems that the changes in his eyes were beyond his expectations.

This reminded him of a martial arts novel he had read in his previous life.

"The emperor observes the weather and kills people by talking and laughing"

Is it the art of looking at qi?

Or it could be a level higher than any other. As long as he wanted, he could clearly see that there was a different aura surrounding each person.

Just like Song Ruyue who just left, there was a layer of light red glow surrounding her, which looked a little dazzling.

As for the others, each one is different, but the vast majority are black and white.

He still couldn't figure out what the airflow meant, but he had some guesses.

Looking at the black and gray air current rising into the sky in the distance, Gu Nian'an narrowed his eyes.

Which direction? If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lanruo Temple.

So who exactly put the copycat in this position?

It’s only a dozen or twenty miles away from Lanruo Temple. How on earth did that group of incompetent bandits escape the poison of the tree demon?

With such luck, why would they become robbers? They could have made a fortune by just doing some business. What a bunch of idiots.

Gu Nian'an didn't dare to close a wink that night as he was so close to the other party's nest.

In addition, many people died in the village, and the blood is boiling. If a hungry and crazy monster comes to steal the house in the middle of the night, it will be a lot of fun.

The next morning, Gu Nian'an was still sitting at the gate of the village. Hearing footsteps behind him, he stood up and turned around, silent for a while.

Although his eyes were closed now, he could not misunderstand the rhythm of their breathing. There were only twenty-one people. He had clearly counted them yesterday, including the little girl and Miss Song, a total of thirty-two people.

So why do so many people still choose death?

It turns out that I am not suitable for speaking of big principles. The lies I tell can't even fool myself. What else can I expect?

A group of people came up to him, all with depressed expressions and without saying a word.

Even the lively and lovely little girl yesterday had red eyes, lowered her head and sobbed softly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's each take some gold and silver, and then set off." Gu Nian'an kicked the gold, silver and jewelry piled beside him and said to everyone.

But after waiting for a while, no one took any action.

"Then why don't Miss Song take the lead and just pick some that you like."

Gu Nian'an felt that if he didn't think of a solution, this group of people would stay with him in silence until dark.

Everything that needed to be said had been said last night, so Song Ruyue didn't make things difficult for him. She walked out of the crowd, picked up two pieces of jewelry at random from the pile of gold and silver, and stood aside.

Someone took the lead and the effect was quite good. Women in twos and threes walked out of the crowd one after another and picked out a few pieces of jewelry that were easy to carry.

However, they were not greedy. The twenty or so people took away less than half of the wealth. Then Gu Nian'an asked Song Ruyue to take them away first.

After sending everyone away, he picked up a shovel from the side of the table, dug a big hole under a pine tree not far from the gate of the village, threw all the remaining jewels into the hole, and only kept a hundred taels of silver for himself.

After dealing with the gold and silver, he went to the firewood room of the stronghold and moved out more than a dozen cans of kerosene from a corner of the room. This was what he found when he inspected the stronghold yesterday.

I don't know what those stupid bandits were thinking. Don't they know that most of the strongholds are made of wood? They prepared so much kerosene, aren't they afraid that one accidental discharge would kill them all?

In fact, what Gu Nian'an didn't know was that these things were part of the supplies left behind by a caravan they robbed.

Kerosene was one of the most precious strategic materials in those times. Not only was it expensive, but it was also very useful.

So they were reluctant to throw it away, but they couldn't find a suitable channel to sell it, so they could only leave it in the woodshed to gather dust.

Gu Nian'an picked up two cans of kerosene weighing dozens of kilograms and began to walk around the village. He ran back and forth several times and almost sprinkled some kerosene inside and outside the village.

He paid special attention to the hall of the cottage, and he stood at the door and threw several cans in before stopping.

When everything was ready, he took out a fire starter and ignited flames in several key places. With the help of kerosene, the entire village was engulfed in flames in a short moment.

Gu Nian'an stood at the entrance of the mountain village, looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction, then sat cross-legged on the ground and chanted the mantra for rebirth:

"The Supreme Lord's decree transcends your lonely soul, all ghosts and ghosts, and is blessed by you in all your lives.

Those with heads fly, those without heads ascend, they are killed with spears and knives, and they jump into the water and are suspended by ropes.

Die openly and secretly, die unjustly, creditor and enemy, beg for life.

Kneel down in front of my stage, the Eight Diagrams will shine, stand out from the threshold, and transcend other places.

As a man or a woman, you are responsible for your own responsibility. Whether you are rich or poor is your own responsibility.

The order is given to save the people, and the people who are waiting for it are saved. The people who are waiting for the order are saved, and the people are saved. "

Gu Nian'an recited it three times before he stood up from the ground.

When people die, their debts are forgiven. No matter how many wrong things they have done in this life, I just hope they can be born into a good family and be good people in the next life.

Looking at the mountain village gradually being engulfed by fire, Gu Nian'an turned and left.

He looked around the village and saw that there were no trees or flowers bordering the forest, so he didn't need to worry about the fire spreading. Besides, it was freezing cold, so even if a few small flames appeared, it wouldn't cause too much trouble.
