Chapter 002

The gourmet system left temporarily, and Qingxi, without assistance, took out a bottle of fragrant wisteria perfume from the gourmet backpack.

Fragrant Wisteria Perfume is a perfume extracted from Fragrant Wisteria flowers captured at level 0. It has a natural fragrance and lasts for a long time. The most important point is that the place where it is captured is not dangerous at all, but the selling price is relatively high. It is the main way for her to make money after being brought to the Gourmet World by the Gourmet System.

When she had a little extra money, as a woman, after picking so many fragrant wisteria flowers, she naturally wanted to buy herself a bottle of fragrant wisteria perfume.

There was only one and a half bottles of fragrant wisteria perfume in her gourmet backpack. When she bought it, the store happened to be having a promotion, so she got a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

However, she was busy collecting ingredients and had not used the perfume many times after buying it. She did not expect that it would come in handy now.

A-Tong was really generous. She counted one and a half bottles of fragrant wisteria flowers as two bottles, so there were 999 sets of fragrant wisteria flower perfumes in her food backpack.

She didn't know if so many perfumes would be enough for her to use until A Tong came back, but she knew that the ghosts on the set should not try to target her, otherwise she could try some wisteria perfume.

Qingxi sprayed a lot of fragrant wisteria perfume on her wrists, neck, and clothes. She hesitated for a moment and did not put the half bottle of fragrant wisteria perfume back into the gourmet backpack, but put it into the pocket of her coat.

She walked and stopped in the forest where no one had ever walked before, and gradually she finally walked out of the uninhabited area and onto a small path where humans had walked.

She walked along a long, small, bare path that had been trampled out. She didn't know how long she had walked before she saw a dilapidated temple in the distance under the cover of darkness.

Qingxi breathed a long sigh of relief. Before dawn, she finally had a place to rest tonight.

Holding the lantern fruit, the black-haired girl quickened her pace, but she became out of breath after running for a short distance.

At this moment, she secretly despised herself in her heart.

Is he still a child? A middle school student? He actually chose to be an ordinary person when he was sure he was going back to his original world. Now he's fine, right? Does that face slap hurt?

She insisted on running to the door of the dilapidated temple. Before she could catch her breath, the frightened cries of the children in the temple were heard. She was so frightened that she couldn't catch her breath and almost choked to death.

But immediately she smelled a faint smell of blood coming from inside.

"Ah! Junichi, Aga, Keita, Kana."

"Asshole! You killed them."

"He's a ghost."

"Someone extinguished the wisteria incense in the incense burner outside."

"Xiao Yue, it must be him. He must have extinguished the incense and then attracted the ghost."

"Wow, wow, what should I do, Brother Xingming, Sayaka is so scared."

"Come behind me, quickly."

Inside the temple, several voices rang out simultaneously, some from children and some from adults, but the most noticeable was an extremely arrogant man's laugh.

The words like "Children's meat is the most delicious", "You weak ants should stop struggling", and "Just let me eat you obediently" make people feel particularly uncomfortable when they hear them.

After confirming that there was a ghost in the temple, Qingxi thought about whether to evacuate, but before she could make a decision, the ghost inside had already smelled the fragrance of wisteria flowers on her body outside.

Suddenly, the body's alarm mechanism, which had only appeared when encountering danger for many years, sounded, and Qingxi jumped to the side. The next moment, the two wooden doors where she was originally standing were blown away by a strong wind.

"Where did you come from? That brat didn't say there was a child here."

Qingxi got up from the ground and saw the person standing in the yard in the warm light of the lantern fruit. Well, although he still retained some human appearance, no matter how you looked at him, you couldn't put him in the category of human anymore.

To sum up, this ghost is really ugly!

"I'm lost in the mountains," Qingxi said. She looked at the distance between herself and the ghost, who only wanted to stand in the yard and didn't want to get close to her. She also looked at his face, which looked like he was enduring something. She took a few steps forward and asked, "Excuse me, do you know how to get down the mountain?"

"Stop right there, little brat!"

As the girl approached, the scent of wisteria on her body, which was disgusting to ghosts, got closer to him. As if he had reached his limit, the male ghost raised his foot and kicked a large rock next to him towards Qingxi at an extremely fast speed.

But who could have thought that she would trip herself while walking, and the lantern and a small glass bottle in her hands fell out together, and happened to fall at the feet of the male ghost.

Click!

The glass and bluestone collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The next moment, a strong fragrance of wisteria rose up, surrounding the male ghost. Some of the perfume even splashed onto his exposed leg as the glass bottle broke. In an instant, a burning sensation spread from that leg bit by bit.

At the same time, another object, the lantern fruit, that fell at his feet suddenly exploded, and kerosene mixed with sparks fell on him, instantly setting the male ghost's body on fire.

Lantern Fruit, capture level 1, weight 1KG. When it matures, the fruit of the lantern fruit will emit a warm light like a candle flame, attracting the surrounding creatures. However, once it is subjected to a certain impact and pressure, the fruit inside will turn into lamp oil, and the moment the peel explodes, it will indiscriminately attack the surroundings together with the sparks brought out.

"Ah, you damned little brat, how dare you do such a dirty thing to me? I'm going to kill you, break your arms and legs, and then eat you up bit by bit in agony!"

The male ghost slapped the flames on his clothes with his hands, and did not forget to threaten Qingxi. However, lamp oil was not like other things. Unless he ran out and found a stream to jump into, it seemed that he could only dig a hole and bury himself in sand to put out the flames on his body.

Ignoring what sounded to her like the last unwilling roar of a dying beast, Qingxi looked at the lantern fruit and fragrant wisteria perfume that she had taken out less than an hour ago to offer to the sky. After sighing inwardly that it was a pity, she took out another unopened bottle of fragrant wisteria perfume from her backpack. Of course, in the eyes of others, she took it out from her clothes pocket.

He opened the bottle cap and threw another one in the direction of the ghost.

Although the parts of the body that were burned by the flames grew back the next second and looked very powerful, Qingxi felt that this male ghost might not be very smart.

The flames had been burning at him for a while, but he didn't want to run away. Instead, he looked like he wanted to stay here and kill all the living people in the temple to relieve his hatred. In this case, it was no wonder that she attacked him first without any moral principles.

The male ghost turned into ashes in the flames after she contributed a bottle and a half of fragrant wisteria perfume.

Qingxi watched the entire process of the male ghost disappearing, and then she walked towards the room whose sliding door was broken and from which a strong smell of blood wafted.

Qingxi walked around the bodies of four boys and girls who looked only seven or eight years old and were closest to the door. She looked at the four surviving boys and girls, and after making sure that they were just frightened and nothing else was wrong, she walked to the only adult present, the young man who was beaten the worst by the male ghost in order to protect the children.

"Hello, my name is Qingxi. I'm a person who got lost in the mountains." Qingxi squatted beside him and briefly introduced herself. "Your injuries need to be treated. The four children are fine, just a little frightened. They may not be doing well now. If you don't mind, I can help you take a look."

Beimingyu Xingming, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was in a daze for a moment, but then the three children who had left him and the other little girl and just realized that they had survived the disaster ran over and surrounded him tightly. Their voices of worry and concern brought the young man back to his senses.

Beimingyu Xingming kept his lips tightly closed, but he still lay down on the floor where he should have been resting, half supported and half moved by himself by several children.

It was only then that Qingxi discovered that the young man was blind, but she did not ask any questions. She began to examine the young man under the vigilance and hope of the three older-looking children.

Four ribs were broken and there were bruises of varying sizes all over his body.

Under the curious gaze of the children, Qingxi took out a roll of something that looked like a bandage from inside his coat.

Doctor Aloe, Capture Level 1, from Healing Country Life.

There are different varieties of Doctor Aloe for different injuries, and the one she is taking out now is the Doctor Aloe that is specially used for rib correction.

The young man was helped to sit up, his clothes were taken off and wrapped with aloe vera by the doctor. During the whole process, the other party cooperated very well. Qingxi also noticed that the atmosphere in the air was getting heavier and heavier.

After bandaging the man, several children helped the young man lie down again.

"It will be a little painful tonight, but the bones should be healed by tomorrow," Qingxi said.

"Thank you for your help."

Beimingyu Xingming finally spoke at this time, but the expression on his face was still gloomy.

Seeing that the young man was fine, the boy who looked the oldest asked the youngest, Sayo, to stay here with him, while the remaining three had to clean up the bodies of their dead companions.

It was dark and it was not convenient to go out and dig a grave, so they had to carry the bodies of their companions to a corner of the house. There were no extra clothes or cloth to cover their bodies, so they could only leave them exposed there. Then they went to the well outside to fetch clean water and used cloth to clean the bloodstains of their companions that had flowed all over the floor.

By the time everything was over, it was already dawn outside.

When Qingxi saw them bringing hoes and other tools from the utility room next door, he knew that they were preparing to go out and dig a grave, so he followed them to help.

Seeing Qingxi walking in the sunshine like everyone else, the three children all breathed a sigh of relief and their attitude towards the girl who appeared late last night and saved them became better.

The children were not very strong, and it was already noon when they finished digging the four graves.

The four men went back with hoes and originally wanted to bury the bodies of their companions who died last night in one go, but they didn't expect to see from afar that many people had come to the house where they had lived for a long time. Some of them were wearing police uniforms and looked like policemen.

"Airi, Qingxi, Sho and I will go take a look first." Yangtai said as he threw the hoe in his hand to Airi, called Sho and they ran back like the wind.

Watching the two boys sneak into the temple like two skinny monkeys, Qingxi and Airi, who were carrying farm tools, couldn't help but quicken their pace.

She had already known their situation through communication while they were digging just now.

The tall young man who was treated by her last night, who was thinner than anyone else, was a monk in this temple. His name was Beimingyu Xingming. He was born blind, but even such a blind man who had a hard life adopted nine orphans who had no relatives.

Last night, one of the nine orphans extinguished the fragrance of the wisteria flowers in the temple to save his own life, and brought a ghost here. Four of them died at the hands of the ghost, leaving only four children alive.

No, if she hadn't stumbled upon this place while looking for a temporary resting place, the chances of all four children surviving might have been even smaller.

The oldest of the four children is the boy named Youta, who is 7 years old. Sho and Airi are next at 6 years old, and Sayaka is the youngest at only 4 years old.

Through chatting, Qingxi learned that they all liked and admired Beimingyu Xingming, who had a small appetite but seemed to be omnipotent.

However, as an adult in child's clothing, Qingxi just wanted to sigh to them, my silly children, look at the body skeleton of Beiming Island Xingming, who is nearly 2 meters tall and only eats a little bit of food three times a day. Is that really possible?

That man just left the rations that should have belonged to him for you!
