Li Fumei had also seen this in the ancient tomb, so she couldn't eat it. She shook her head and said seriously, "No, Grandpa Village Chief, I like to eat it cooked, not raw."

"It's written in the books that raw food might have parasites, like threadworms. I won't eat them if they give me a stomachache."

The village chief frowned and looked at her sinisterly when he heard this.

"You're from our village, don't you know how precious this dish is? Why are you being so picky? If it weren't for you... I'm letting you eat it because you're smart."

Li Fumei shook her head and said with a firm look in her eyes, "I don't want to eat it. It's so white and painful to look at. I want to eat chicken. Grandpa Village Chief, can I kill your chicken and eat it?"

"No, forget it. Just drink the porridge."

"Well, thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."

The village chief ignored them, picked up one with chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth to chew, with the moth's tail exposed. The horrifying scene made Chen Cheng want to die.

The crunching sound was like someone chewing bones, but the other person had an intoxicated look on his face, which was really hard to accept.

“Ugh~~~”

Chen Chengshi couldn't help himself and started to dry heave, covering his mouth and waving his hands repeatedly: "Sorry, I have a cold and feel nauseous. I'd better go eat over there and not disturb you guys anymore."

After saying this, he took the bowl and walked away. He found a corner and looked at the white rice porridge in the bowl. He searched it carefully and started eating after making sure there were no bugs.

After seeing him leave, Su Chen lowered his head and ate, as if he didn't see the horrific scene opposite him.

Li Fumei looked at the village chief and found that he seemed like a completely different person compared to the kind and gentle old man in her memory. He was not like this before.

I lowered my head and didn't want to look. The more I looked, the more disgusted I felt.

After breakfast, they started walking around the village. Li Fumei led the way, standing on the edge of a field and pointing to a spot not far away. She said, "Master, look, there used to be a small river over there."

"The children in the village like to go there to bathe and catch fish. We will find firewood to grill the fish, and it tastes delicious."

"But later on, I don't know what happened, one after another they disappeared. Some people said the village was not clean, and then everyone with some ability left."

"Nowadays, children are almost non-existent, and no one is willing to marry here. To have children, many villages exchange wives with each other, that is, two villages exchange wives."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. "At least it didn't bring disaster to the village, so it's not bad."

Li Fumei shook her head. "No, many girls in the village don't live to adulthood. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't cause trouble. The reason I was able to study was because I was smart and did well in exams."

"The village chief once said that I was the most promising golden phoenix. He hoped that after I was admitted to university, I would remember to give back to the village when I became successful."

Li Fumei didn't know what she was thinking about, and sighed deeply: "What a pity, the village chief has forgotten me now. He doesn't want me to be a golden phoenix anymore, he wants me to die."

Chen Cheng: “……?”

Bewilderedly said: "What, little girl, what are you talking about? Didn't the village chief warmly invite us to eat that, oh, damn fluttering moth."

"Yes, I've seen it before. All those who ate the moth disappeared, except for the village chief. He made us eat it so that we would disappear."

Li Fumei whispered as she squatted down to pull out the weeds.

Chen Cheng was confused. Is that what he meant? No wonder that look was so scary. But how did they provoke him? Why did he want them to disappear?

No, Fumei is still a villager. Why would she disappear with him? This is abnormal.

"But you are from the village. Why would he want you to disappear?"

Li Fumei looked depressed. She shook her head, stood up, walked along the ridge of the field towards a house, knocked on the fence door before going in.

"Aunt Wang, where is Sister Xiaohua?"

Wang Cuiying's face changed, and she avoided looking at her, "Fumei, why are you back? Didn't you say you were living in a boarding school and could only come back during the winter and summer holidays?"
