After I was defeated once again under the superb skills of Hua Fei Yan, I felt like my whole body was floating. This time, I was thoroughly defeated, to the point where I almost didn't have the energy to get out of bed.

  But the village has a custom, before dawn, one must leave, and follow the rules of the village, especially during this extraordinary period. Before 5 o'clock, after I drank Han Feiyan's blood as usual, I could only choose to walk out of this house.

  After I returned to the tent, exhausted and spent, I went straight to sleep. I slept until one or two o'clock in the afternoon, when my stomach was growling with hunger. Only then did I get up and prepare some food.

  After getting up, I rummaged through the food in the tent and found that apart from some instant noodles that made me vomit, there were only some moldy bread and peanuts left. There was nothing else to eat. So, I could only grab a handful of peanuts and start eating them. As I ate the peanuts, I thought about how I had been squeezed dry by Han Feiyan, this old woman, day after day, and couldn't even get enough food. This wouldn't do, so I planned to go find some wild game to eat.

  I know that hitting a wild rabbit by coincidence like last time is definitely not going to happen, and even if I could hit it, I wouldn't be able to deal with the rabbit. What I'm thinking now is whether I can go to some small river to catch some small fish to eat?

  Thinking of this, I left the tent and found a river nearby. What I knew was that there was a river on the south mountain ditch side, but I wouldn't go there, after all, it was where Qiuli died, very unlucky.

  Along the tent along the foot of the mountain, I went east and soon found a small river. Well, there were really fish in the river. In addition to fish, there were also some small shrimp.

  I saw something in the river and started scooping it up. However, since I didn't have any tools in my hand, plus the fish were slippery, after busy for a long time, in the end I only caught a small fish as big as my palm, but I caught a lot of small shrimp.

  After catching these things, I returned to the tent and found some dry firewood to start a fire and roast the fish. As for those small shrimps, I found an iron basin in the tent, put some water inside, and simply boiled them to eat.

  After the fire started, I suddenly thought of the clothes Han Feiyan asked me to deal with, so I took a look around the village and when no one was paying attention to me, I quickly went back to the tent, took out the clothes and burned them in the fire.

  After all the clothes were burned clean, the big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. At this time, I saw that my fish was also roasted almost done, and the small shrimp in the iron basin was cooked red and swollen, which should be ripe too.

  Everything looked fine, so I started eating. Due to the lack of seasonings, the fish didn't have much flavor, and the homemade shrimp soup from the iron pot tasted like plain water.

  While eating roasted fish and drinking shrimp soup, I suddenly thought of my mother and my family for some reason, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

  I recall the delicious dishes cooked by my mother, I recall the scene of my father sitting on the threshold smoking a tobacco pipe, I recall my school and some classmates outside...

  I think that at this time, they must be extremely anxious about not having any news from me. Now that the day to fill in the university application forms has arrived, but I've lost contact, this is probably a fatal blow for my family. To be honest, thinking of my parents and relatives outside, I had an urge to escape from this village.

  But I'm clear, I can't escape now. Leaving aside the witch and the traps outside the village, even Han Feiyan won't let me go. She killed Qiu Li in front of me to save her own daughter and went through great pains to save Du Jie, so if I want to leave, the first obstacle is Han Feiyan. If I want to leave, I must kill Han Feiyan and break free from her blood curse.

  And I also know that even if I killed Han Feiyan, I wouldn't be able to leave this village. Du Jie's escape is already an unforgivable thing for the village, and I don't believe they will let me escape too, making such a mistake. And...

  I know in my heart how much I hope that Jingjing is okay, and as the days go by since we parted ways, my longing for her grows deeper, and I feel more and more that this girl is worth me staying in the village to wait for.

  After figuring all this out, I ate the fish with tears in my eyes, then drank up the shrimp soup, and afterwards went back to the tent and fell asleep...

  In the following days, nothing changed in the village. I was still resting during the day and having a great time with Han Feiyan at night. However, as these decadent days continued, my body couldn't take it anymore. After three days, I found that my complexion had also started to turn pale.

  In the process, I accidentally met a witch who said it was an accidental encounter. In fact, the witch wanted to see me. After she saw me, she glanced at me several times. I could tell that she was checking my physical condition, probably to see if I and Han Feiyan were faking it. However, in the end, she nodded her head in satisfaction and walked away. Apart from this incident, there is another thing that makes me particularly heartbroken: Han Feiyan received news that Zhang Qi, a big brother who lived with me in the same tent, had been suffocated to death in a jar...

  That night, just past midnight, I was rolling around in bed with Han Feiyan as usual. After another round, my already exhausted waist was aching again. Seeing me like this, Han Feiyan told me that she could probably hold on for two more days before taking action. She couldn't really drain me dry, but now my physical condition also met the requirements of the witch. What needed to be done next was to put me in the jar and seal it to suffocate me to death.

  But Han Feiyan also said that I won't really die, so she has to start implementing her own meticulous plan again, and this plan will begin to take effect after midnight tonight.

  After we got dressed and came down from bed, Han Feiyan asked me to follow her to the attic. In this attic, I saw a jar that was exactly the same as the one I saw at Qiu Li's house, even the liquid inside the jar was of the same color.

  "What is this vase? I also saw it at Qiuli's house before." I asked Han Feiyan.

  "This is the final thing that will suffocate you, and your corpse will be soaked in this jar. We don't know what the black water inside is made of, but according to the witch, its quality is yin, which can prevent the corpse from rotting. After a person is suffocated inside, we need to add herbs every day, and then we need to drip two drops of our own blood into it every night. In the following days, after sunset, we put the jar on the wooden platform in the attic, and before sunrise, we move the jar back into the room, finding a dark and humid place to store it."

  "Uh..."

  When I heard Han Feiyan say this, although I felt it was very strange, for a moment I didn't know what to say either.

  After bringing me to visit this place, Han Feiyan said to me again: "Alright, you've seen everything you should see. Now that it's late at night, I'm going to take you to steal someone away."

  "Steal a person? Which village girl should I steal?" I made a sly face, although I didn't know why Han Feiyan wanted me to steal someone, but thinking about the word "stealing people", I got a little excited. I don't know, after the stolen girl is placed in front of me, can I still hold on...

  When I asked who the girl was, Han Feiyan smiled mysteriously at me and said: "It's a beauty that you can't even dream of!"

  "Whose beauty is this! I'm a very curious person, you might as well tell me now!" I asked Han Feiyan with an expectant face.

  "She is a beauty you have seen before." Han Feiyan continued to reply to me.

  "Have I seen you before? Could it be Tingting?" I frowned, looking at her. Although I was interested in Tingting and wanted something to happen between us, as soon as I thought of the baby in her family's pot, I felt that it was better to keep a distance from such a woman.

  "It's not Tingting, it's Qiu Li," said Han Feiyan in a gentle tone.

  As soon as I heard the words "Qiu Li" coming out of Han Feiyan's mouth, my head buzzed loudly. Then I stared at Han Feiyan in a daze, completely dumbfounded.
