The Evil Bodhisattva was searching everywhere for living people, and upon finding them, would turn them into porcelain, with nurous villages and towns already transford into a world of porcelain people.
Everyone had turned into porcelain, motionless.
Chen Shi, upon hearing that she ca to ask for food, gathered his courage and said, "So it’s Little Jin. Little Jin, I know things haven’t been easy for you these past few days, but in Huangpo Village, we don’t support idlers. If you want a bite to eat, that’s not impossible. What skills do you have?"
He scrutinized Jin Hongying.
Jin Hongying watched him with a smiling gaze and spoke leisurely, "My life is especially long. Brat, hurry up and cook for your elder, or I’ll devour you two youngsters!"
Chen Shi responded and went to cut at for cooking.
Li Tianqing hurried over to him, and seeing him pick up the knife, he was shocked, thinking Chen Shi was about to make a move.
Chen Shi cut off a piece of at and actually began to cook.
"Little Ten, you’re not planning to kill her with that knife?" Li Tianqing was puzzled.
Chen Shi sliced the at, intending to marinate it for a while, and shook his head, "How could I? I’m not a villain. Why would I go around killing?"
Li Tianqing felt as if this was the first ti he truly understood him and suddenly realized, "You plan to poison the at!"
Chen Shi shook his head, "With soone like Jin Hongying, even if she is gravely injured and lying on the ground, as long as she’s not completely dead, you should not go near her. You can only kill her once she’s truly dead."
Li Tianqing didn’t understand.
Yet Chen Shi knew that Jin Hongying was a powerhouse who could confront Xiao Wangsun face to face. When Xiao Wangsun was severely injured and unconscious on the ground, he might appear defenseless, but his slender waist was guarded by the twin swords of the shrike, untouchable by outsiders.
Touch them, and you’d die.
Jin Hongying’s injuries must be severe, but she could still walk and talk. Her injuries were much less than Xiao Wangsun’s at that ti; hence even with tenfold his courage, Chen Shi wouldn’t dare make a move.
"Little brother is quite the clever one," Jin Hongying comnted while sitting at the dining table, patting a dog’s head and chuckling.
Black Pot was lying by her feet, quite enjoying it.
Chen Shi cooked red-braised ribs, pig’s trotter, braised tendons and brains, and then made a atball soup, serving it up.
Jin Hongying, starving with hunger, wolfed down the food voraciously. What Chen Shi had cooked for three, she polished off alone.
Chen Shi had to cook again.
"Chen Shi, you won’t be able to stay in the village for long. It’s only a matter of ti before the Evil Bodhisattva finds this place."
Jin Hongying, having regained so strength, said, "We need to move as soon as possible."
Chen Shi shook his head, "What about the people of our village? If we leave, they’ll starve to death."
Jin Hongying shook her head, "They won’t starve to death. Without the spiritual at and Exotic Beast at, they will quickly turn to porcelain. The only reason they’ve been able to hold on until now is that you’ve been providing them with spiritual at these days. But you two young ones, supporting a whole village, how long can you sustain it? We three should leave together."
She paused, caressing Black Pot’s head, "And take this dog. If we run out of food, we can always eat dog at."
Black Pot imdiately stood up and no longer sat beside her.
Jin Hongying was surprised and laughed, "This dog can actually understand human speech!"
Li Tianqing coldly said, "Leader Jin, after eating the dog, you can eat people too, right? After all, you’ve got two kids with you who can’t resist you."
Jin Hongying said cheerfully, "Little brother is so smart. Let’s start with you when it cos ti to eat."
Chen Shi laughed, "Sister, we’re both still young and wouldn’t taste good. Wait till we grow up before you eat us."
Jin Hongying laughed, "Two little ones, a pair of golden children, so endearing. When you grow up, big sister will find another way to ’eat’ you."
Chen Shi couldn’t understand and thought the woman really intended to eat them both, so he quietly grasped a kitchen knife and hid it in his sleeve.
Jin Hongying caught this scene and chuckled, "Put the knife down, it’s not the kind of eating you’re thinking of."
Seeing that she had noticed, Chen Shi also didn’t dare to act rashly and obediently set the knife down, asking, "What kind of eating does sister an?"
Jin Hongying, looking into his innocent eyes, felt her own face turn bright red with embarrassnt at her thoughts, spat disgustedly, and hobbled out the door. Her voice ca from outside, "You two eat your fill first. This lady will give you ti to say goodbye to the villagers. I’m not without humanity. The spiritual at you originally shared with them, I don’t want it, you can let them live a bit longer."
Chen Shi busied himself with cooking.
Li Tianqing sat in front of the stove tending to the pot, adding firewood, and said, "This Sister Jin really is interesting. One mont she wants to be our mother, the next she wants to be our aunt, and then she wants to eat us. She says we’re too young now, but she’ll eat us when we grow up, with a different thod of eating. No wonder my grandfather says won are fickle."
Chen Shi thought for a mont and said, "She’s alone, solitary and lonely. Being alone for so long, her temper is bound to be strange."
Jin Hongying’s voice ca from outside, "I heard that! You two little rascals, talking behind my back, I’ll tear your mouths apart!"
Chen Shi lowered his voice and said, "See, her temper’s flared up again."
Li Tianqing remarked, "My grandfather says, she’ll be better once she’s married."
"I’m going to co in and hit you two!" Jin Hongying fud.
After they finished eating, Chen Shi cleaned the pots and pans and then left a note for his grandfather, telling him not to worry.
His grandfather hadn’t returned these days, but he firmly believed that his grandfather would never leave him and would surely co back.
"I also need to offer incense to my godmother," Chen Shi said.
Jin Hongying reproached, "Making such a fuss! We’ll all go together!"
She had originally assud Chen Shi’s godmother was the village’s Divine Tree, but to her surprise, they headed out of the village.
"Is Little Ten Brother leaving?" Yu Zhu blinked her large eyes, looking toward them, and inquired.
Chen Shi nodded and said, "The at at your place should last you another ten days or so. Don’t skimp on it. Eat up. I’ll co back after a while to bring you so more!"
Yu Zhu waved her little hand cluelessly, watching them leave the village.
"Granny, Little Ten Brother is leaving," she turned around and said.
Yu Zhu’s grandmother, leaning on her walking stick, stood behind her. She also noticed that Chen Shi was leaving but didn’t speak a word to keep him.
On the streets of Huangpo Village, people from every household ca out, looked in the direction Chen Shi was heading, and watched him leave the village without saying a word to stop him.
"He has taken care of us for a long ti already. Don’t insist on keeping him. Keeping him here will bring him harm," Yu Zhu’s grandmother said.
Chen Shi, accompanied by Jin Hongying, Li Tianqing, and Black Pot, ca to the yellow earth slope. Jin Hongying was about to climb the slope when her face suddenly changed. She paused, and looked at the slope with suspicion and alarm.
Chen Shi looked back, puzzled, "Aren’t you coming up, Sister Jin?"
Jin Hongying’s forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of peas. She looked at Li Tianqing and saw that Li Tianqing had also climbed up the slope, and even the black dog had gotten up the slope without any abnormalities!
Yet as soon as she lifted her foot, the world seed to spin, the ground beneath her a chasm, and the vast yellow sky pressed down upon her!
Droplets of sweat rolled down her face.
Climbing the slope might an death!
"There’s sothing peculiar about this yellow earth slope, sothing very peculiar!"
