When saying this, Li Mei was obviously a little impatient. After all, it was not safe to spend the night in the wilderness.

Not to mention those sensational ghosts, even the wild beasts that come out to hunt for food at night are difficult to deal with.

But at this moment, there was another clang, and this time the left wheel of the wooden cart fell into the pit.

After seeing this scene, the four women all had expressions of wanting to cry but not being able to.

At this time, Gu Jiu suddenly sat up from the coffin, scaring Li Luo so much that he let out a strange scream.

Gu Jiu rubbed his head, looked at the sky, and said apologetically: "Sorry, I seem to have slept a little too long."

The four young ladies didn't know what to say for a moment. Then Gu Jiu looked at the tilted car, jumped out, and asked suspiciously, "Did it fall into a pit?"

As he spoke, he raised his left hand and pushed the car out of the pit, which made the four women stare in amazement.

What's the situation?

Gu Jiu yawned, and after seeing the strange expressions on the four women's faces, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Mei's cheek twitched as she sighed, "Master Gu is really strong."

Gu Jiu reacted immediately and said quickly: "No, no, this pit is not deep. The horse worked hard, I just pushed it along."

After hearing this explanation, the four women looked at the pit again and nodded in agreement.

After all, Gu Jiu didn't look like a strong man at first glance, and the pit was indeed not as deep as before, as Gu Jiu said.

They had fallen into a pit once before and were frightened, so they didn't check the depth of the pit the first time, thinking it would be as troublesome as before.

Now that the car was out of the pothole, the five people continued on their way.

After a good sleep, Gu Jiu felt much better, but after walking less than two hundred steps, he felt that walking was a chore, so he lay down in the coffin again, which made Li Mei and others laugh and cry.

However, after lying in the coffin again, Gu Jiu did not continue to sleep, but stared at the sky in a daze.

The setting sun quickly sank into the horizon, and the surrounding environment became dim.

Gu Jiu discovered that the four young ladies who were chattering during the day were now silent, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but wonder: "Is he hungry? He doesn't have the energy to talk anymore?"

Along the way, there was only the sound of wheels rolling over the ground, not even the chirping of insects.

On both sides of the road were half-human-high sedges, which swayed from side to side when the wind blew, looking like ghostly shadows.

Although Li Mei had experience walking at night, the road she had walked on was in a strangely bad state, so she still felt a little uneasy.

After passing this wilderness, Li Luo suddenly said, "We're almost there."

Under the dim sky, a village appeared in front of the desolate wilderness.

The village was very small. From a distance it looked like a small dark shadow, without even a hint of fire.

Small villages like Niujia Village are relatively poor and there is no habit of lighting lights at night, so it is normal that it is pitch black.

After seeing the village, the four women couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But when they arrived at the village entrance, they were shocked to find that someone had died in the village.

There are only two hundred steps between the village entrance and the big tree in the middle of the village. In between, there are four houses with white banners hanging at the doors, which look eerie in the moonlight.

At this time, everything was quiet, every house was dark, not even the barking of dogs, so that the whole village looked like a huge tomb.

However, Li Mei's family was in the death business. There were many elderly people in Niujia Village, so death was not uncommon, so they didn't take it too seriously.

Soon, several people arrived at the door of the village chief of Niujia Village and knocked on the old wooden door.

Chapter 3 A Pair of Embroidered Shoes

Many times in the past, Li Mei had stayed overnight at the home of the village chief of Niujia Village when delivering coffins, and tonight was no exception.

After a while, a woman's voice was heard from the other side of the door - "Who is it?"

Li Mei immediately said, "Second Sister Niu, it's me, Li Mei."

"Which Li Mei is this?" For some reason, everyone felt that the woman in the room seemed very nervous.

Li Mei couldn't help but frowned and said, "Second Sister Niu, it's me. I was here two months ago at the place in Linshui Town."

After a while, a woman about thirty years old opened the door.

She glanced at them carefully and said, "Miss Li, please forgive me. It's a bit scary at this late hour. Why did you come so late this time?"

Li Mei explained what happened on the road. Second Sister Niu frowned, as if she remembered something, but she said nothing. "Maybe it was dug out by a wild beast. You should stay in that room."

Li Mei immediately took out some change and gave it to her. Niu Erjie didn't refuse and accepted it directly.

The business that Li Mei's family is doing is unlucky, and they are the only family in the entire Niujia Village willing to let them stay overnight, so it is only natural for them to charge some money.

At this moment, Gu Jiu suddenly yawned and sat down from the coffin.

Niu Erjie suddenly saw a "person" standing up from the coffin. Thinking it was a zombie, she screamed in fright and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu realized that he had scared someone, so he quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, sister! I am a living person."

Niu Erjie still didn't believe it. She looked terrified, her face distorted with fear, and she crawled backwards trembling.

Gu Jiu quickly jumped out of the coffin and said, "Sister, look, I have a shadow!"

Second Sister Niu took a closer look and discovered that Gu Jiu indeed had a shadow in the moonlight. She then covered her chest and began to gasp for breath, sighing, "I was scared to death! I was scared to death!"

With the help of Li Mei and Li Luo, Niu Erjie finally stood up, looking frightened.

Gu Jiu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm so sorry, I just fell asleep in there and didn't expect to scare you."

Sister Niu Er clutched her chest and said in a panic, "My dear young master, in the past, even if you jumped out of the coffin wearing a ghost mask, I, Niu Er, wouldn't be so scared. It's just that things have been really uneasy lately."

Li Mei couldn't help but ask, "Second sister, is there an accident?"

Second Sister Niu glanced into the room, hesitating to speak. Finally, she sighed and said, "It's nothing. It's just the old man talking nonsense. Everyone, it's so late. Get some rest."

After saying this, she closed the door nervously, as if Gu Jiu and the others outside were ghosts.

Gu Jiu and the others looked at each other, and finally could only smile bitterly and walked towards the thatched hut.

This thatched hut is the guest room of Village Chief Niu's family. In fact, it can be regarded as half a firewood room. In addition to a bed, there is also a lot of firewood piled up in the room.

But in this poor place, it is good to have a house to shelter from the wind, and there is a stove and an iron pot outside, so you can cook food, which is considered makeshift.

When the Zhao sisters went out to play with the Liu sisters for the first time, they saw that there was only a large straw bed in the house and immediately felt that it was a bit shabby. But then they thought about sleeping in the same room with Gu Jiu and even on the same bed, they couldn't help but get excited.

Gu Jiu's beauty is unrivaled in Linshui, and he is the son of a wealthy family, so he is naturally a superior being.

Now I have the opportunity to sleep in the same room with such a young man. I am so excited just thinking about it.

The two sisters even wanted to tell some ghost stories to scare Gu Jiu at night, so that the handsome young man would jump into their arms.

Li Mei and Li Luo lit a fire outside and started cooking bacon.

Salted and air-dried bacon can be stored for a long time without spoiling. It can be used to make soup or cooked, making it very suitable for carrying around.

As the water in the pot boiled, the aroma of meat wafted in.

Li Luo mashed the bacon, then put some dried seaweed into the pot, and a pot of broth was formed.

Each of the five people had a bowl of hot seaweed and meat soup, which they quickly ate and drank, feeling very refreshed.

Gu Jiu was used to a comfortable life, and today he had increased his exercise volume several times over. He was already hungry, so he felt that this simple bowl of bacon soup was particularly delicious.

However, while drinking the soup, he noticed that Li Mei was looking outside the house from time to time, as if looking at something, and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Li Mei, do you think there is something wrong?"

Li Mei shook her head and said, "It's nothing, actually. In the past, when I came here, it was always Second Sister Niu and her mother, Village Chief Niu, who received me. Today, only Second Sister Niu came out, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Li Luo patted his plump chest and said, "Sis, don't worry. Even if something happens, the four of us are all good fighters. Master Gu, we will protect you. Besides, it's late at night, and you can't be sure if Village Chief Niu is fast asleep."

Li Mei nodded and felt relieved.

But although Gu Jiu remained calm on the surface, he still felt a little doubtful in his heart.

Because he had just scared Niu Erjie, the noise was so loud that most people would have woken up even if they were sleeping soundly.

But Village Chief Niu didn't react at all. What's the reason? Is he as lazy as me?

As the saying goes, "When you are full and warm, you will think about sex." After drinking two bowls of soup and eating a few pieces of meat, you have to think about sleeping.

Gu Jiu, a lazy person, suggested that he sleep in a coffin because it was really too comfortable inside.

So without saying a word, he went straight into the coffin at the door, breaking the hearts of the Zhao sisters.

They can't possibly sleep in the coffin and become a sandwich with Gu Jiu, right?

Soon, Gu Jiu's steady breathing could be heard from the coffin.

In fact, he was not asleep, but pretending.

In such a world, as a beautiful boy, you must know how to protect yourself.

In fact, Gu Jiu really didn’t want to protect himself, and sometimes he even fantasized about being happy in bed with a bunch of girls.

In this world, once such a thing happens, it will be a shadow in a man's life. At the very least, he will be depressed and unable to get married, while at the worst, he will be so depressed that he will commit suicide. However, Gu Jiu does not have such a burden.

For a male soul on Earth, this is clearly a benefit, okay?

How much would it cost to do something like this on Earth? That's something only the rich can afford!

So even though his waist is not in good condition, Gu Jiu still likes the setting of this world very much, and he also feels that as his practice progresses, his fragile old waist will get better and better.

When the time comes, hey hey hey...

But every time this happened, Gu Xiaoxiao's figure would jump into his mind and wipe out his evil thoughts.

Yes, he had desires for women when he was growing up, but the feeling of being moved seemed to be only felt towards his younger sister Gu Xiaoxiao.

This is a fucking disease!

If it is a disease, is it curable?

……

……

The four women in the room couldn't help feeling depressed as they watched the cooked duck fly into the coffin.

However, today's journey, pushing the cart, and moving the coffin were really tiring, so after a while, the four women fell asleep in each other's arms. In Gu Jiu's eyes, it was a very beautiful scene.

Thinking about what happened before, Gu Jiu always felt that there might be something strange about the family he was staying with, so he insisted on not sleeping.

But insisting on not sleeping was even more difficult for Gu Jiu than for Fat Tiger, so not long after, Gu Jiu's eyelids started to droop and he fell asleep.

The night was getting deeper, but Niu Erjie was still awake because her mother had gotten up.

Village chief Lao Niu got up from the bed and came into the living room.

Under the pale moonlight, she looked a little fat, especially around her chin, where layers of fat piled up together, forming many wrinkles that looked a little disgusting.

The most eye-catching thing is that such a simple old woman living in the village is wearing a pair of embroidered shoes as bright as blood.

The embroidered shoes looked so new, as if they had never been stained by dust, that they were particularly eye-catching.

In the eyes of Sister Niu Er, these shoes are extremely terrifying.

Yes, ever since my mother picked up these shoes, her temperament has started to change strangely.

The change was not only in the growing grease on her chin, but also in her demeanor at night.

The one wearing embroidered shoes and with a terrifyingly empty look in his eyes didn't look like a human at all.

Niu Erjie covered her mouth and curled up in the quilt, tears streaming down her face.

Mom, when will you get better?

At this time, Gu Jiu was snoring in the coffin, sleeping soundly.

He seemed to dream about Gu Xiaoxiao.

Chapter 4: One Knife

Village Chief Niu stood in the hall for a while and then walked towards the kitchen of his home.

Niu Erjie has seen her mother's sleepwalking-like symptoms at least three times.

Three times, three lives left this world.

The first time was the chicken at home, the second time was the goose at home, and the third time was the dog at home.
