Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

"Miss Zuo, would you like some more coconut juice?" The fat man asked Zuo You solicitously as he opened a coconut in the open space by the door.

Zuo You lay on the bamboo chair with her eyes half-closed, a thick sunshade above her head, and someone was fanning her with a palm leaf fan.

"Fatty, your coconuts are getting better and better, not bad!" she lazily praised.

Although there is no internet in the village, supplies are delivered regularly every week, and Zuo You is quite well taken care of.

"I'm glad Miss Zuo likes it," the fat man said with a big smile. Following her was much easier than digging the ground and planting vegetables, and he could also make his presence known to Mr. Qi.

To be honest, Miss Zuo is really charming. Since she came, Mr. Qi, who used to never go out, now leaves early and returns late every day. Although he still looks indifferent, his emotions are much more stable than before.

As the sun rose higher, the fat man, worried that she might get heatstroke, quickly suggested, "Miss Zuo, why don't I take you back first? Anyway, with our people guarding this place, no matter what kind of monsters or demons are inside, they won't be able to escape!"

"Okay, let's pack our things and go back." Zuo You looked up at the sky; the sun was indeed quite scorching.

She was both bad at the game and unwilling to admit defeat. Since she had no other entertainment, she insisted on waiting at the door for two days in a row, just wanting to see Ah Piao come out with her own eyes.

"Okay!" the fat man replied, signaling to the other person to pack her things.

In their opinion, Miss Zuo is too superstitious. How could there be ghosts in this world? She's probably just hallucinating because she was too scared in the tunnel.

Besides, if there really were a female ghost dressed in white, would those ravenous bastards in the village let her go?

"Don't forget to take my parasol," Zuo You reminded him as she got up to leave.

"Hey girl, wait for me!"

A coquettish voice came from behind her. Zuo You's brows furrowed so deeply they could crush an elephant. "Fatty, try squeezing me like that again!"

The fat man protested, "I didn't say that!"

"Who else here would clamp like that besides you?!" Zuo You said, turning her head to glare at him.

However, the next second, after she saw clearly, she rushed behind the fat man and exclaimed, "She's out!!"

"Who came out?" The fat man looked back in confusion, his eyes widening instantly.

"You, you, you, stop right now!" The fat man shakily raised his gun. "If you move again, I'll shoot!"

"No~" The woman in the light blue dress slowly raised her hand, her voice barely a whisper: "Don't shoot, I'm not a ghost, I'm a human~"

The fat man craned his neck to observe, when suddenly Zuo You, who had been crouching behind him, darted out and flicked her hand in the woman's direction, sending white powder flying towards her head.

The woman was clearly taken aback and tilted her head to look at her.

Zuo You's heart tightened. She pulled out the peach wood sword that Shen Yan had made for her from behind her back and brandished it a couple of times. The other person seemed to be stunned and looked a little weak.

Seeing this, Zuo You felt an extreme mix of fear and excitement, so much so that the tuft of hair on her head stood on end.

With a thud, the woman fell straight to the ground.

"So glutinous rice flour and a peach wood sword really do work!" Zuo You said, nudging the fat man with her elbow. "Don't be afraid, Fatty, I've already subdued her. Hurry up and tie her up!"

......

Inside the room, Zuo You said incredulously, "What? You said your name is Fu Die? And you're a Peking Opera actress?"

Could she be the actress Fu Die who appears later in the story?

Fu Die wolfed down the food the fat man had given her, chewing it a couple of times before finally looking up to answer Zuo You's question:

"Yes, I was found by Black Spot half a year ago. But can we talk about other things after I've eaten? I haven't eaten for three days!"

After Fu Die finished speaking, she picked up the bowl and started shoveling food into it. Zuo You even suspected that she hadn't chewed it properly before swallowing it.

"Then you eat first, I'll wait for you." Seeing that she was really hungry, Zuo You suppressed her curiosity and watched her eat, and even asked the fat man to give her more rice.

Zuo You was stunned when she still wanted more after finishing three bowls.

This bowl is bigger than her head! Even if she's starving, she shouldn't eat like this!

"I'm all better," Fu Die said shyly, wiping her mouth. She then looked at Zuo You with her usual sickly beauty and said, "Ask me anything you want to ask."

Zuo You glanced at the fat man, who then tactfully left the room and closed the door behind him.

"How did you manage to play dead so convincingly?" Zuo You still couldn't understand how a normal person could pretend to be dead for half a year!

Still pretending right under the nose of a man with such an eyesore of dark spots!

"Unless... are you an undercover agent for our country?" Zuo You asked suspiciously as she leaned closer to her.

"How could that be!" Fu Die chuckled and explained, "I don't have that ability. I'm just a half-baked Peking Opera actress. Half a year ago, I accidentally stumbled upon some secrets during a performance for the benefit of the people, and then I was packed up and thrown into the river."

Zuo You's eyebrows almost formed a question mark: "You mean, you were thrown into the river and not only didn't drown, but you floated out of the country and were found by Black Spot?"

Fu Die shook her head. "Actually, I was rescued by a girl along the way, but I was unlucky. Before I could get on the bus home, I was kidnapped by human traffickers again. Later, when the police were chasing us, they fled all the way to the border and threw me into the river."

Zuo You was shocked time and time again; she really was unlucky!

"I have a special constitution since I was a child. I can survive on just one meal a day. After being picked up by Black Spot, I planned to play dead to escape. Later, I found out that it was impossible to escape, so I pretended to be a vegetable."

Black Spot seems to like me; he gives me IV fluids regularly. I just lie there pretending to be in a vegetative state every day. He also seems to be acting a little strange, but I haven't noticed.

Zuo You has cerebellar atrophy. "Sister, with your perseverance, you'll succeed at anything!"

But why did you pretend to be a ghost to scare me!

Fu Die smiled awkwardly, "It wasn't that you were tickling me, I was holding my breath so hard I got a stitch. I was thinking of observing whether you were a good person, and if so I would tell you the truth, but I didn't expect you to be so scared, and you didn't hear my explanation."

There's no other way; I'm not sure if you can save me, so I'll just have to keep playing dead.

Zuo You hadn't expected things to turn out this way. "So you only came out today because you were starving?"

Fu Die nodded and continued, "There's another reason. I noticed that they all spoke to you with great respect, so I think you should be quite reliable."

Zuo You nodded. She was quite smart. Here, as long as Shen Yan didn't give himself away, protecting a woman was relatively easy.

Fu Die noticed the worry in Zuo You's eyes and revealed some information: "By the way, I overheard Black Spot talking to himself earlier. It seemed like a woman told him in advance that you would come here, and that he should take your blood and then dispose of you."

Zuo You's smile faded, and she lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
