I stared blankly at Han Feiyan for a long time before I came back to my senses and asked her, "Damn it! You wanted me to steal Autumn Lian? Autumn Lian is already dead, how can I still steal from her? What do you mean?! Are you asking me to rob a corpse?!"

  "What I meant was to steal someone, but I didn't say let you steal a kiss, it's you who has a dirty mind and thought of something crooked!"

  "Huh? Didn't you tell me that?" I looked at Han Feiyan with embarrassment.

  "What did I let you do that for? It's not going to work out, and it's just a waste of your energy. You can barely satisfy me alone, how could I possibly let you put in the effort with another woman?"

  "Ah! So you didn't make it clear, and I got all excited for nothing! But... but what's this about stealing Autumn Beauty? It sounds fishy to me?" I asked cautiously.

  As I asked this, Han Feiyan suddenly replied with a serious face: "I want you to follow me to the village's back mountain tomb, and dig up Qiu Li's body. I do want you to steal something, but what I want you to steal is Qiu Li's corpse."

  "Damn it!"

  When I heard Han Feiyan's explanation, I was so scared that I sat down on the ground with a thud.

  "What the hell is wrong with you! Are you asking me to go dig up graves and corpses in the middle of the night? Is this something a human can do?! This is even more terrifying than a ghost! Besides, don't you know that digging up graves will bring heavenly punishment?! Anyway, I'm definitely not going, I won't be able to do it, nor dare to!"

  "You won't dig, then you'll die! Because I dug up Autumn's corpse, it was to use her corpse to switch places with you, let her take your place in the coffin and suffer death, do you understand?"

  "Huh?"

  After hearing Han Feiyan's explanation, I was stunned for a moment.

  "Long before I killed Qiu Li, I had thought of this plan. I knew that in order to let you live, a substitute corpse must be placed in the jar. However, the villagers are all accounted for, and there were only a few men who entered the village this time, so finding a fresh corpse without decay became a difficult problem. So I came up with a perfect plan, letting you pretend to be Du Jie and kill Qiu Li. This way, not only would your brother Du Jie escape from the village, but also Qiu Li would die, and then I could use her body, simply disguise it, make it look similar to yours, and use it as your substitute corpse!"

  "My god! How did you think of this? The entire plan is designed so seamlessly!" I truly admire this woman.

  When I said that, Han Feiyan's face didn't reveal any more expression, she just said to me: "Alright, stop being so talkative, let's hurry up and get to work!"

  Hearing Han Feiyan say that, I didn't bother to say anything more. Although the thought of making me steal Qiuli's corpse and dig up her grave made me afraid, I knew that an arrow shot from a bow has no turning back, I had to do it.

  "Speaking of which, once you step out of the house, it's really cold outside!"

  At this moment, I truly and deeply feel that from the moment I stepped out of the door, my entire body felt an unprecedented chill, as if I had fallen into a extremely cold ice cellar.

  "Ah, damn it!"

  I couldn't help but let out a loud sneeze, and then rubbed my nose. Seeing me sneeze, Han Feiyan smiled at me and said: "I reckon you've been wasting too much energy on me lately, your yang energy is a bit depleted, so you feel the outside is especially cold."

  When I heard what Han Feiyan said, I felt that it seemed to be this kind of truth.

  In the dead of night, the village was filled with a chilly wind, trees swaying gently, and the moon hidden behind the horizon. Every blade of grass and every tree seemed to evoke an indescribable sense of desolation... eeriness. The village, except for some scattered lights from other houses, was shrouded in darkness, making one tremble with fear at a mere glance...

  Soon, I arrived at the tomb of Hou Shan in the village. He Feiyan told me that this tomb is called Zuoshan Tomb, and all the women in the village who die of old age or illness will be buried here.

  When Han Feiyan said that, looking at the countless small mounds around me, I felt my body stiffen like a corpse. At this moment, I don't know if it was psychological or an illusion, but I felt a chill in the air pressing towards me, a sense of insecurity and crisis that made my hair stand on end, scaring me to the point of cold sweat. I always thought I was a brave person, but walking among the graves at midnight, I realized my bravery wasn't that impressive after all...

  But although I was afraid, I refused to retreat half a step, gritting my teeth and walking forward with Han Feiyan.

  I had walked halfway up the mountain when I suddenly felt something was off. I kept feeling like someone was following me from ten steps away. It was as if there was a fleeting shadow that was staring at me, gazing at me intently...

  "Whoosh! Whoosh!"

  "Whoosh... Whoosh..."

  "What the...?! Who?!"

  I suddenly felt unsteady in my heart and shouted loudly.

  Look at me like this, Han Feiyan beside me gave me a white eye and said: "Who is that! Are you tired or not? You're a big man, walking on the night road can scare out this expression!"

  "Didn't you feel anything moving behind us?" I asked.

  "I didn't notice! You'd better hurry up and go! It's not far from here to Qiu Li's tomb."

  When Han Feiyan said that, I turned my head and looked back again, then furrowed my brow and continued walking forward. But when I walked a few dozen steps further, I suddenly felt a pang of unease, the feeling of someone following me from behind was so strong, so real, it was as if it had always existed...

  "Awesome! Who's with me? Come out!"

  I really can't take this oppressive feeling, with countless grass mud horses and bees rushing out of my mind, turning around to roar wildly at the back.

  When I turned around and looked again, there was still nothing in front of me, everything was empty.

  But...

  Unexpectedly, my roar was so loud that it startled the birds in the mountain forest, and they suddenly scattered. The sudden bird calls scared me, causing me to stumble and fall to the ground with weak legs.

  "My god! This is not a place for humans!" I slumped to the ground, panting heavily, my entire body as if drenched in rainwater, covered in sweat.

  "What the...! You're bringing me to a graveyard in the middle of the night, aren't you crazy? Can't we just steal the body during the day?" I couldn't take it anymore and vented my frustrations to Han Feiyan standing beside me.

  "Look at you, are you in such a state? If it were daytime, there would be too many people around and we wouldn't be able to make a move. Hurry up!" Han Feiyan said to me, her hands on her hips and panting heavily.

  Han Feiyan seemed a bit angry, I felt like I was really useless, she didn't seem to be affected at all, but instead scared me half to death. This was too embarrassing for me. So I mustered up the courage to get up, humming an energetic tune in my mouth, and pulling Han Feiyan along, we quickly arrived at the grave where Qiu Li was buried.

  After arriving at the place, we prepared to dig a grave. Since we didn't bring any tools, my friend and I could only use our hands to dig. Fortunately, this grave had just been buried for a few days, so the soil was relatively loose, making it possible to dig with our hands.

  As the mound was not very large, just a small earth pile, I soon dug it up. As I dug deeper and deeper, we soon saw a corner of Qiu Li's body."

  Seeing Autumn Lui's corpse, I should have been happy, but in the middle of the night, running into such a cold corpse, I couldn't be genuinely happy. Not to mention being unable to feel happy, not peeing my pants was already good enough. At the same time, I saw that Han Feiyan also had a panicked expression, and her hands digging in the mud started to slightly tremble.

  Just as we were nervously digging up Autumn's corpse, a voice suddenly came from afar.

  "What are you two doing?!"

  ......

  Hearing such a voice, I was startled and my body shook. Han Feiyan was even more exaggerated, she was so scared that she let out a loud cry, looking at her like that, she almost got frightened to death...

  The next second, I looked in the direction of the sound and found that there was actually someone standing there in the darkness!

  ......
