Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

After lunch, the family returned to the valley as usual, chatting and busying themselves.

After two days of running-in, everyone's tacit understanding improved. Cheng Yuntao also learned the rules and sequence of weaving, joined the weaving team, and his speed increased a lot.

Watching the screen gradually taking shape and having a clear outline, Cheng Yuntao's heart was filled with anticipation and joy, and a bright smile slowly spread across her face.

Just when everyone was concentrating and immersed in the scene, a high-pitched and sharp roar came from the distant mountain top, leaping over the overlapping waterfalls like a sharp arrow, shattering the loud roar of falling water and breaking the original tranquility.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment, and saw a black shadow falling from the top of the waterfall like a meteor. In the sunlight, the black shadow seemed to be inlaid with a layer of gold, and its outline became clearer.

Accompanied by a huge splash of water, the black shadow fell into the water like a huge rock, smashing heavily into the deep blue pool under the waterfall.

Like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, the water splashed with dazzling light in the sunlight, and then fell down, creating ripples on the surface of the pool that continued to spread out.

This sudden situation scared everyone. Cheng Yueli was the most timid, and she immediately shrank into Cheng Yuntao's arms, trembling all over.

Cheng Jingzhu's face turned pale. Although he was afraid, he still tried his best to stand in front of his sister and younger sister, trying to resist this monster of unknown origin.

The incident happened suddenly and Cheng Yuntao was a little flustered. She hugged her sister with one hand and supported her staggering grandmother with the other.

I thought that the family could live in seclusion and at least live in peace for a while, but I didn't expect that this uninvited guest would appear out of nowhere.

I don't know if it's a human or a monster...

After the turmoil in the pool completely subsided, Cheng Yuntao squinted her eyes and leaned forward, trying to see more clearly.

"Yun Tao! Don't go! Let's hide back in the cave!"

Zhou Xiufang could only glimpse a deep black shadow in her dim vision. She was afraid and did not want to see her granddaughter take risks, so she hurried forward to hold the person back.

"The stone wall passage is narrow. We just need to hide back in the cave and block the passage. This strange thing shouldn't be able to get in."

Cheng Yuntao began to hesitate as she moved forward. It was indeed not appropriate to move forward rashly without knowing what species the other party was.

She is not alone now. Her grandmother and younger brothers and sisters all need her to take care of them, so it is better for her to curb her unnecessary curiosity.

"Okay, let's retreat slowly."

As the backbone of the family, Cheng Yuntao quickly calmed down.

Fearing that any big movement would attract attention, she led everyone and moved slowly backwards.

Suddenly, Cheng Yueli, who was nestled in her arms, said, "Sister, there seems to be a person in the pool. I just saw his face."

Human? Compared to the black shadow monster whose strength was unknown, the danger value of a person who didn't know whether to live or die was instantly reduced a lot.

Cheng Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to be careless.

"Xiao Li, are you sure? Is it really a human?"

Cheng Yueli released her hand from Cheng Yuntao's waist and looked at her carefully for a moment again.

"It's really a person, I'm not mistaken!"

"Sister, should we save him? He seems to be injured."

After calming down, Cheng Yuntao discovered that a layer of blood mist was spreading around the black shadow, which was washed away by the water and formed a large blood-colored net. The already pale face looked even more lifeless against the backdrop of the blood.

She frowned, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she slowly raised her head, her gaze gradually moving upwards along the majestic flow of the waterfall. The mountain top was hidden in the clouds, as if it were from another world.

Falling vertically from such a height, with no buffer in between, the immense impact was enough to destroy everything. Furthermore, the shadow was already injured, so according to common sense, the possibility of survival was extremely slim.

If left unattended, the corpse will decay over time, which will definitely affect the water quality of the pond and the surrounding environment. What's more frightening is that it may attract scavengers, adding additional risks.

At that time, it would become much more difficult for them to move around in the valley.

Cheng Yuntao planned to fish out the body first, and then find a suitable place in the valley to bury the person.

Although she didn't know this person, let alone his past and the cause of his death, seeing him off was a good thing, Cheng Yuntao thought silently in her heart.

"Grandma, take Xiaozhu and Xiaoli back to the cave first. I'll take care of this place."

"This man fell from such a height and was already injured. He definitely won't survive. We can't just leave him in the pool. If his body rots, it will cause us a lot of trouble."

As Cheng Yuntao spoke, she looked around for suitable tools. The black shadow was about to be washed to the edge of the pool. She didn't want to go into the water, so she planned to find a thick stick to pull the person over.

Her words frightened Zhou Xiufang, and she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Yuntao's sleeve.

"Yun Tao, do we really have to take care of this? This is a dead person! How scary!"

This is not Zhou Xiufang's fault. Ordinary people have always been very taboo about these things. Few people dare to handle them personally like Cheng Yuntao.

Maybe it’s because Cheng Yuntao had died once, so she is much braver now. Besides, she didn’t kill the man, so she doesn’t feel guilty.

"Grandma, it's okay, don't worry about me."

"We absolutely cannot leave this body alone. If we don't deal with it now, it will be even harder to deal with when it rots and stinks in the future."

"I know you're scared. Take Xiaozhu and Xiaoli back first. I'll come back to find you after I've dealt with it."

Zhou Xiufang also knew that Cheng Yuntao was not the kind of person who would act recklessly, and that she had made this choice and action based on practical considerations. She didn't know what to say anymore, so she withdrew her hand tremblingly.

"Well... okay, then I'll take them back to the cave first. Come back soon after you've dealt with it."

Zhou Xiufang walked back with the children in her arms. If it was an ordinary matter, Cheng Jingzhu and Cheng Yueli would have rushed over to help, but they were really scared because they had to deal with a dead body.

I could only look back every few steps and look at my sister standing by the pond with admiration.

Cheng Yuntao didn't intend to involve her family in this matter at first. She smiled and waved her hand, indicating that everyone should not worry about her.

Only after watching their figures disappear in the stone wall passage did the smile on Cheng Yuntao's face gradually disappear, turning into a solemn expression as she looked towards the black shadow in the pool.
