The small mountain village flickers with tiny lights, looking very warm under the night sky.
Chen Sisi doesn't know where she got them from, but there were pheasants, civets, and even a rapeseed flower snake. These three mountain delicacies were cooked into a at soup that was simply exquisite, just the aroma could make one's mouth water!
Zhou Ruolan and Chen Lu were also food lovers, both holding bowls and devouring the food voraciously.
Zhou Ruolan said with a laugh as she ate, "Sisi, your cooking is truly delicious, such a delicacy in the city's big hotels would cost tens of thousands!"
"Ah? These few things could sell for tens of thousands?" Chen Sisi looked surprised.
Chen Sisi's ancestors were hunters, so she had so insight into hunting and setting traps, but she never thought a few simple items could sell for tens of thousands!
"Exactly, even two thousand would be considered cheap. Nowadays, authentic civets and pheasants are so scarce. Not to ntion these two, even rapeseed flower snakes are almost extinct!" Zhou Ruolan said.
Chen Sisi laughed, "I have these things to eat often, and I catch them myself!"
"It turns out Sisi is living like an immortal!" Zhou Ruolan said with emotion.
"Sisi, teach how to hunt, I want to catch them too!" Chen Lu said with a smile.
"You should focus on your studies, you're too young to learn how to hunt!" Chen Sisi said with a hint of irritation.
...
After eating and drinking their fill, the faces of the three won were rosy, a result of consuming sothing highly nourishing.
The three won sat on the sofa watching TV, their bodies relaxed and alluring, making Li Chuan's heart pound as he watched from the side.
Zhou Ruolan: "I heard from the villagers there's a water ghost in the river, what's that about?"
Chen Lu: "Teacher Zhou, you haven't been here long and don't know much about Taohua Village. Actually, what they say is true. The river in our village, it's fine in the village part, but at the tail of the village where several tributaries converge, every three years, soone definitely dies! Since I can rember, it's never been an exception, it's already a pattern that can't be explained scientifically, so everyone says there's really a water ghost in the river that cos to take soone every three years!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruolan felt her scalp tingle. Although she's a materialist, chatting about this in the mountain village at night feels incredibly terrifying yet thrilling!
Chen Sisi said: "According to the village elders, the ghost in the water is a female ghost from the late Great Qing dynasty, a girl bullied by nearby bandits. She couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the river with great resentnt to end her life, later becoming a water ghost!"
"Yes! I've also heard that whoever saves the person chosen by the water ghost, that rescuer will incur the wrath of the water ghost and take on the fate of the victim, this has been happening these years, it's very eerie!" Chen Lu added.
As the words fell, Zhou Ruolan started sweating, while Chen Sisi herself was getting scared.
"Sisi, today you saved Xiao Le, will the water ghost resent you and co to make you Xiao Le's substitute?" Zhou Ruolan asked worriedly.
Chen Sisi replied: "I'm not afraid! The water ghost stays in the water, and if it dares co to , I'll shoot it with arrows! Burn it with fire!"
Although Chen Sisi was bullied by Chen Bao, she had a certain fierceness in her.
"Sisi, you still need to be careful, this isn't the first ti it's happened in our village." Chen Lu expressed her concern.
"You should take good care of yourselves, we all saved the person today." Chen Sisi smiled.
Thus, Zhou Ruolan and Chen Lu couldn't help but shiver.
Chen Sisi was right, everyone saved the person today!
"I say, aren't you scaring yourselves? Chatting so lively, be careful the ghost might co knocking later!" Li Chuan found the three won's reaction amusing.
"Shut up, Chuan! No need for you to speak during our girl chat!" Zhou Ruolan, already scared, showed displeasure. "You went down to rescue too! Careful the ghost cos for you first!"
"Alright, let it co." Li Chuan shrugged, picked up his phone to open WeChat, and started chatting with his friends from Jiangzhou City.
This kind of boring topic, he's too lazy to participate.
Female ghost? Can it be more frightening than Ming Yue?
"Sisi, I still want to hear the female ghost's tale, tell more." Zhou Ruolan found this topic quite stimulating.
"Alright, let tell you..."
...
The three won chatted, covering the entire tale of the female ghost until almost eleven o'clock before ending.
"Teacher Zhou, if you're scared, you can sleep over at my place tonight." Seeing Zhou Ruolan's pale face, Chen Sisi laughed and suggested.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruolan imdiately pretended to be calm: "No need, I'm not scared! I'm a teacher, why would I be afraid of ghosts? Alright, I'm heading back."
Seeing Zhou Ruolan seemingly unfazed, Chen Sisi could only smile and say: "Teacher Zhou is formidable, alright, I won't force you. Teacher Zhou, co by for a al soti."
"Sure, I'll definitely co by often." Zhou Ruolan said with a smile.
"I'll head back with Teacher Zhou." Li Chuan stood up.
He was just flirting over the phone with Yang Xin'Er, Ma Yuanzhi, Song Zihan, and Wang Xiaoqi, the girls kept telling him to head back early.
"Take it slow on your way back, the village roads aren't easy to navigate."
Chen Sisi advised softly.
As Li Chuan and Zhou Ruolan walked over the stone arch bridge, they couldn't help but take another look, seeing the river surface shrouded in dense white mist, truly enchanting...
Upon seeing this scene, Li Chuan didn't have much of a reaction, but Zhou Ruolan was terrified.
She couldn't help but cling to Li Chuan's arm, pressing her body tightly against his.
That familiar soft and resilient feeling returned, Li Chuan instinctively said, "Teacher Zhou, the mountain temperature is low at night, let's hurry back."
"Mm, mm!"
Zhou Ruolan nodded repeatedly.
It wasn't until they returned to the village committee courtyard that Zhou Ruolan realized she had almost leaned half her body onto Li Chuan, blushing: "I'll go sleep first..."
With that, she hurriedly returned to her room.
Li Chuan shook his head and also returned to his room. This ti, he carefully checked with the light on to ensure there were no snakes before feeling relieved.
But once lying on the bed, his mind was sowhat unsettled.
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Just having touched Zhou Ruolan's shapely body, his mind was filled with thoughts of won, then the Lingxi True Qi began to run wild, making him uncomfortable.
Should he find Chen Sisi?
Rembering Chen Sisi's allure, Li Chuan suddenly found himself unable to resist, imdiately got up, ready to head out.
Taohua Village's night was hazy, with patches of white mist drifting about.
Li Chuan had just reached the courtyard gate when, in the distance on the path, he suddenly saw a figure clad entirely in white, with hair covering her face, like Sadako, floating!
Moreover, she was floating toward the village committee!
Li Chuan's heart skipped a beat, could it really be a female ghost out for vengeance?
