It is indeed an outsider, that's right.

But Wen Nan only came to help Lu Yanqing, so how could she possibly harm the villagers?

It's obvious... someone did it on purpose.

Wen Nan became the suspect of everyone, so the villagers would run away whenever they saw him.

Wen Nan lay on her bed in the middle of the night and turned to look at Lu Yanqing beside her.

Lu Yanqing had his eyes closed, so you couldn't see the emotions in his eyes, and you couldn't tell if Lu Yanqing was asleep or not.

Wen Nan lay in Lu Yanqing's arms as usual, and Lu Yanqing did not move.

In the stillness, Wen Nan could almost hear Lu Yanqing's heartbeat clearly.

Wen Nan placed her fingertips on Lu Yanqing's heart.

But the heart seems to be beating faster and faster.

Suddenly, Lu Yanqing reached out and grabbed Wen Nan's hand, pulling it away without making a sound.

Lu Yanqing opened his eyes at this moment.

“…I thought you were asleep,” Wen Nan muttered softly.

Along with the sounds of insects and frogs outside, Wen Nan's voice also clearly reached Lu Yanqing's ears.

So if he falls asleep... what is Wen Nan planning to do?

Wen Nan stopped moving and her gaze lingered on Lu Yanqing's hand, which was holding hers.

"They're all afraid I'm a ghost, aren't you afraid?" The woman's breath was fragrant, and the scent of hibiscus emanating from her was particularly noticeable.

Lu Yanqing turned his head somewhat awkwardly and loosened his grip on Wen Nan's hand.

"I'm not afraid."

"What if I were a vengeful ghost?" Wen Nan asked again, her gaze falling on Lu Yanqing's profile.

"No." You are not.

Lu Yanqing's voice was calm and steady as he decisively refuted Wen Nan's words.

"What if I were a malevolent ghost? Aren't you afraid?" Wen Nan leaned on Lu Yanqing's shoulder.

"No," Lu Yanqing replied as always.

"What if... I were a female ghost who came specifically to seduce you?" Wen Nan raised her eyes, her fingertips resting on Lu Yanqing's chest.

I could feel... Lu Yanqing's strong heartbeat.

The woman parted her pink lips slightly, and under the moonlight, her voice seemed to possess a bewitching charm, like a fairy under the moon.

Lu Yanqing reached out and grabbed Wen Nan's hand, then covered Wen Nan with the blanket.

"sleep."

Lu Yanqing's voice was hurried, but his ears were red, and his voice sounded somewhat unnatural.

Wen Nan didn't cause any more trouble.

As midnight approached, Wen Nan's breathing gradually stabilized.

Lu Yanqing lifted the thin blanket covering Wen Nan's head.

With her eyes closed, the woman appeared less lively but more serene; her slender eyebrows and long eyelashes cast shadows beneath her eyes, and her nose was small and high-bridged…

Lu Yanqing's gaze swept over Wen Nan's eyebrows and eyes inch by inch.

"I'm not afraid."

The eighteen-year-old boy lowered his voice, as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

The sound was so soft that it was inaudible.

In the following days, no one came to disturb Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing.

But as soon as they saw Wen Nan, they all ran away as fast as they could, as if they had seen a ghost.

However, it didn't have much impact on life in Wennan, so Wennan simply ignored it.

Until later... Wen Nan opened the door.

That's how powerful rumors can be.

The mahogany door was covered with a bunch of yellow symbols.

It's used to suppress evil spirits.

Wen Nan "..."

Early in the morning, Lu Yanqing and Zhang Ruyu were both eating inside.

Wen Nan swiftly tore off all the yellow talismans from the mahogany door.

Zhang Ruyu, being quite oblivious, naturally didn't see it.

Lu Yanqing glanced at the red wooden door as he went to board the oxcart.

Then Lu Yanqing and Zhang Ruyu left.

Wen Nan didn't know whether Lu Yanqing had discovered it or not...

But these people are affecting her life, so she has to fight back. Otherwise, do they really think that Wen Nan is easy to bully?

The rumors in the village were getting worse.

Everyone says Wennan is possessed by something evil, which has brought bad luck to the village.

Ultimately, they raised funds and invited a Taoist priest to come down the mountain.

I heard it's for warding off evil spirits.

Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing were both isolated from the outside because of this matter.

As usual, Wen Nan went to pick up Wen Nan and Zhang Ruyu and brought them back. The three of them walked on the road and could see the bright lights at the entrance of Lianhua Village from a distance.

A table was set up, and an old man dressed in Taoist robes stood beside him, while all the villagers of Lianhua Village stood devoutly.

Watching the Taoist priest burning fire talismans in the middle, even breathing fire...

Wen Nan knew that he had just taken a sip of wine, held it in his mouth, and then spat it out toward the torch.

This is how the effect was achieved.

But the villagers nearby were incredibly devout.

Someone saw Wen Nan coming.

"Quickly, quickly, the evil spirit is coming..." The surrounding villagers immediately retreated behind the Taoist priest.

Wen Nan "..."

However, Wen Nan didn't leave; she had to make these villagers face the brutal blow head-on.

She stopped in her tracks, and Lu Yanqing didn't move either.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruyu trembled with anger. "You idiots! If my Sister Nan were some kind of evil spirit, you would all be dead long ago!"

"Stupid as a pig!"

Zhang Ruyu cursed a few times, but no one in the group paid him any attention.

The Taoist priest held up the fire talisman and made some hand gestures towards Wen Nan.

Suddenly, the Taoist priest fell flat on his backside.

Ha, all that pretentious posturing.

With trembling hands, he pointed at Wen Nan and cried, "This evil spirit is too powerful! Burn her! Burn her!"

After the Taoist priest said this, everyone around seemed to believe that Wen Nan was some kind of evil spirit.

Then, holding torches, a group of people hesitated, considering whether or not to burn down Wennan.
