I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

This time, who knows what it will be!

Niu Erjie immediately thought of Gu Jiu and others in the outer room, and her heart began to beat fast.

She really wanted to stop her mother, but she didn't dare.

She was very scared, really very scared, because she no longer recognized this kind of mother.

She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would die at the hands of the other party.

Moreover, she did not dare to shout loudly, firstly because she was afraid that her mother would find out, and secondly because she was afraid that if the villagers found out that something was wrong with her mother, they would harm her.

The small village has a shallow pond and many turtles. Recently, some strange things have happened, so it is naturally not the same as usual.

So every time this happened, Niu Erjie would curl up in her quilt and pretend to be dead, thinking that by hiding in her shell like a turtle, she could avoid disaster.

Village chief Niu, wearing brightly colored embroidered shoes, picked up a kitchen knife and walked out of the house.

Under the moonlight, her face was very white, terrifyingly white, just like the white banners hung in the village when someone died.

She made some indescribable sounds and then turned her head towards her woodshed.

At this moment, Gu Jiu, Li Mei and others were sleeping in the house, with no intention of waking up.

During the day, they were too tired.

Village Chief Niu walked into the woodshed, and the dark kitchen knife in his hand emitted a faint cold light, looking a little scary.

The door of the woodshed was closed, and the yellow horse pulling the cart was tied to a pillar outside and had fallen asleep.

Yes, they are tired too.

Not only do you have to pull the coffin, but there's also someone lying in it. How can you not be tired?

Village chief Niu came to the door and pried the door frame with a kitchen knife. The already worn-out door bolt suddenly became useless and hung aside.

With a creak, the door of the woodshed was opened. The people inside were still sleeping and no one woke up.

Village chief Niu glanced at the woodshed with his empty eyes, and his gaze suddenly shifted from the four women on the bed to the coffin not far away from him.

In the coffin, Gu Jiu was sleeping, sleeping very sweetly, like honey.

His presence, like a firefly in the dark night, immediately attracted the old woman's attention.

My God, although the village chief is old and seems to have some mental problems, he is still an absolute face-obsessed person.

She walked slowly to the coffin and stared at Gu Jiu with her empty eyes that seemed unable to gather any light, as if she was staring at a piece of meat on a chopping board.

She had a knife in her hand, a meat-cutting knife, dark and sharp.

The next moment, Village Chief Niu's face began to twist and the knife in his hand was raised.

The Gu Jiu in front of her was like the chicken, the goose, and the dog in her house before. Only killing them could bring her peace.

"Hu, hu, hu..." Village Chief Niu made a very strange sound, and the next moment, the kitchen knife chopped straight down.

Her movements were quick and decisive, just as natural as when she touched the knife to the chicken's neck when she killed it.

But there was a flash of dark knife light, and the kitchen knife that was supposed to chop Gu Jiu's forehead flew out of the coffin directly, and with a click, it chopped into the ugly face of Village Chief Niu.

The fat on her chin trembled a few times, looking a little disgusting, and her face had a distorted expression as if a kitchen knife was embedded in it.

Yes, after being chopped like this, Village Chief Niu did not scream, struggle, or even bleed.

Inside the coffin, Gu Jiu's breathing was still steady, and he was obviously still in a deep sleep.

From the slightly raised corners of his mouth, it can be seen that he must have dreamed of something happy.

Village chief Niu left the house without saying a word. The kitchen knife stuck in her face was not pulled out, so it looked like her face was split into two.

Village Chief Niu continued walking and returned directly to his room, then fell on the bed...

Niu Erjie, who was curled up in the quilt and trembling with fear, did not even notice that when her mother came back, there was a kitchen knife in her home on her face.

The next day, Village Chief Niu died.

She died in her bed, with a kitchen knife on her face.

No one knows where this kitchen knife came from, not even Gu Jiu.

When Village Chief Niu died, he was still wearing the pair of brightly colored embroidered shoes, which looked a little scary on this cold morning.

When Niu Erjie looked at her mother's dead face, tears streamed down her face. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

Yes, she had thought about killing her mother ever since she became strange.

This was the method told to her by an old Taoist priest in an old and dilapidated Taoist temple ten miles away from the village. When the Taoist priest saw her mother's appearance, it was more terrifying than seeing a ghost, and he ran away crawling.

When she caught up with the man and pinned him to the ground, the female Taoist priest stammered, "Your mother must have believed in something unclean. Sooner or later, she will grow into something neither human nor ghost, causing endless trouble. Before she completely loses her humanity, we have no choice but to kill her and burn her body to ashes."

Niu Erjie, who always attached great importance to filial piety, beat the Taoist priest on the spot and then returned home.

At first, she just thought that her mother had some mental problems and that she would be fine after some care. After all, there were several mentally ill elderly people in the village.

But later, when she noticed that her mother's chin was getting fatter and fatter, and that she loved wearing the pair of embroidered shoes that came from nowhere, she felt more and more that what the Taoist priest said might be true.

However, years of living together day and night coupled with fear made Niu Erjie unable to do it at all.

Until now, when her mother died in bed, she felt relieved, but sadness suddenly surged in her heart and she could no longer control her emotions.

Hearing the crying, Li Mei knocked on the door. Niu Erjie opened the door with red eyes and told her the news of her mother's death.

Li Mei and others were shocked by this, but they were in the death business after all, so after comforting the other party, they let it go.

The world has been bad these years, and birth, aging, sickness and death have become the norm.

When Gu Jiu and the others saw the body of Village Chief Niu, his face was already covered with a piece of cloth.

For some reason, several people always felt that the embroidered shoes on each other's feet looked very uncomfortable.

Because it is too bright and too new.

After Gu Jiu and others said goodbye and left Niujia Village, Niu Erjie took her mother's body to the wasteland outside the village and set it on fire.

The people of the Tang Dynasty loved burials, and burning corpses was considered extremely unfilial, so Niu Erjie did it very secretly.

Watching the burning flames completely devour her mother's body, Niu Erjie wiped away her tears and walked home.

She didn't see that the brand new embroidered shoes were intact in the fire and even became more beautiful.

Chapter 5 What are you doing?

After getting back on the road, Gu Jiu was still lying in the coffin, half asleep.

The weather was nice today, the sun was warm, and the road conditions were good, so Li Mei and the other three women soon started chirping again, as cheerful as four little sparrows.

Although Gu Jiu, lying in the coffin, could not see their appearance, he could not help but think of a line of lyrics - "The sparrows outside the window are chattering on the telephone poles. You said this line has a very summery feeling..."

The feeling of youth and early summer is so good!

This was the wonderful feeling Gu Jiu got while lying in the coffin.

This road is very wide. There are large areas of saline-alkali land here in the north, so the vegetation on the roadside is much sparser than before, so the view is quite wide.

Such an environment is naturally not as gloomy and depressing as before. The weeds on both sides of the rotten road yesterday are frightening just thinking about it.

The old yellow horse pulled the cart, carrying Gu Jiu in the coffin, and moved forward on the relatively dry mud road at a good speed.

The pedestrians who appear from time to time on the road, as well as the knights riding past on horseback, make people feel a lot more at ease.

We have to admit that most people are social animals and feel safe only when there are many people of their kind. This is also the reason why some cities are getting bigger and bigger.

In such an increasingly chaotic world, it is a natural choice to stick together to gain a sense of security.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, the population of small towns has been decreasing year by year, while the big city of Yanyang has become more and more prosperous, and housing prices have been high.

This is all the result of choice, just as natural as rivers flowing into the sea.

Gu Jiu and his friends, who were originally in a good mood, gradually noticed that the sky was getting overcast.

At some point, thick, leaden clouds appeared in the sky, and it looked like there was going to be a heavy rain.

Seeing this, Zhao's sister said, "Is it going to rain?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a raindrop hit her forehead.

The Zhao family's younger sister couldn't help but become even more surprised. She said, "Isn't this too fast? Will the rain turn into a torrential downpour?"

This time, before Sister Zhao could cover her sister's mouth, a sudden rain fell from the sky.

Gu Jiu, who was sleeping, was suddenly covered in rain. He woke up with sleepy eyes and immediately closed the half-open coffin lid.

The four young ladies who were getting wet in the rain had no time to care about Gu Jiu. They whipped the yellow horse's butt and galloped forward.

It is hard to imagine that such a sudden rain would come in this season.

Logically speaking, we are in the season of transition between spring and summer, and it is not yet summer, so there shouldn't be such a sudden rain, but it came anyway, and it was a bit annoying.

Li Mei and the other three were soon soaked through. Their gauze clothes and skirts stuck to their skin, thin and transparent, creating a wet temptation.

If it was just ordinary rain, it would be fine, but this rain was obviously freezing rain, so that several people were soon freezing to the point of breathing heavily, and they wished they could follow Gu Jiu's example and hide in the coffin.

As Li Mei and his four companions charged forward on horseback, a number of shrubs gradually appeared on both sides of the road ahead, looking like swaying ghosts in the rain.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Li Luo suddenly shouted, "Sister, look over there!"

In the sudden rain, I saw a gentle slope sloping upwards leading to a higher place, and at the end of the slope, the outlines of some buildings appeared faintly.

Li Mei said in the rain: "I remember there is a temple up there, let's go there to take shelter from the rain first."

So, several people began to push the cart up the slope.

The climb up the hill was smooth. Just as Li Mei said, there was a temple on the hill, but it was abandoned.

The original red wall is now mottled and covered with moss, looking like the face of a skin disease patient.

The rain was so cold that Li Mei and the others didn't think much about it and rode their horses straight into the room on the right side of the temple.

The room was not small. It should have been the main hall of a former temple. In the center stood a dilapidated statue of Guanyin.

The facial features of the Guanyin statue have become completely blurred and are covered with spider webs. In such weather, it does not feel solemn at all and looks eerie.

Although the temple was abandoned, the house was still sturdy and could barely shelter them from the rain. Several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After discovering that the coffin was no longer shaking, Gu Jiu pushed the coffin lid open again and sat up.

At this moment, before he could observe the surrounding environment, he saw a scene that made his blood boil.

The four women were completely drenched, their snow-white skin faintly visible under their clothes, looking really seductive.

Especially when they took off their outer smocks and wiped the water stains off their bodies.

Gu Jiu let out a long breath, relaxed, and looked out the door.

There was a small pond in the middle of the yard outside the door. The water in the pond had dried up and was overgrown with weeds.

The pine tree lying in the middle of the pond has long been dead, like an old corpse. One can vaguely see the red ropes hung on it by pilgrims who used to make wishes and offer sacrifices.

Such an environment is undoubtedly a bit eerie and scary, and always reminds Gu Jiu of the scenes in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

A deserted temple on a rainy day, and the beautiful female ghost that might live inside.

Now Gu Jiu doesn’t know whether there are female ghosts or not, but he knows that there are beautiful women.

Li Mei's four daughters fully demonstrated the boldness of women in this world and almost exposed their breasts.

However, considering that Gu Jiu was there, they still maintained a certain degree of reserve and did not completely expose their breasts. After all, this was a relatively conservative feudal society.

This is just like when a man on Earth faces his goddess, no matter how sloppy he is, he will try his best to maintain a certain image.

After the four women went to the Guanyin statue, they came out chattering and changed into dry clothes, and only then did they reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the temple was dilapidated, Li Mei and others were brave enough and did not show any signs of uneasiness.

After all, in front of a handsome boy like Gu Jiu, how can an older sister not be feminine?

At this time, Gu Jiu crawled out of the coffin and looked at the rain outside with a calm expression.

Yes, he didn't show any panic, which made Li Mei and the other three feel a little depressed.

Normally, most men would be frightened upon seeing this eerie and dilapidated temple, and would come to them for protection, but they would take the opportunity to take advantage of them.

But Gu Jiu was so calm now that after looking at the Guanyin statue for a while, he even added, "If the Guanyin statue is built so ugly, it will be strange if the temple doesn't collapse."

Several people followed Gu Jiu's gaze to look at the Guanyin statue and found that the statue was indeed not well made. Not only was the clay rough, but even the shape was a little distorted.

Yes, the shoulders of this Guanyin statue are too broad, so in comparison, the head and lower body appear small, making it look like a cone, which is very weird.
