After listening to Zuo Qingya's story, the clan chief stroked his non-existent beard and said, "You don't need to do anything."
"Did your friend really say that ghosts and monsters appear when it gets dark?"
Zuo Qingya nodded. "That's what he said, but I don't know what's going on."
"Alright then, you can continue to observe. I'm also very curious to know what we are."
Zuo Qingya nodded. "Okay."
Zuo Qingya was then taken to another room by Yu Xun.
Zuo Qingya touched it; it seemed to be the same place as yesterday, but Zuo Qingya was very hungry now.
"Um, is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, please wait a moment."
Zuo Qingya nodded. "Okay."
Before long, Zuo Qingya smelled the aroma of food, but she couldn't see where the food was.
You can only smell it with your nose, "It smells so good."
Yu Xun nodded, "Yes, it smells really good and tastes delicious. It was made by Aunt Wang, and her cooking skills are absolutely superb."
Yu Xun knew that Zuo Qingya couldn't see the food, so he could only feed her.
Zuo Qingya nodded. "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
Zuo Qingya was a little embarrassed, and her face turned red.
She gave an awkward laugh. "I'm so sorry to have troubled you like this."
"It's fine."
Zuo Qingya took a bite and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious!"
After just one bite, Zuo Qingya's mouth was already watering, and she wanted another bite.
Just then, delicious food came into my mouth.
Zuo Qingya smiled, her eyes crinkling, and thanked her as she ate, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Zuo Qingya finished eating in no time, and she was still not satisfied, wanting another bowl.
Zuo Qingya smacked her lips and said, "Can I have another bowl? It's so delicious!"
Yu Xun chuckled, "Of course, I'll go get it for you right now. Aunt Wang will be so happy to hear that someone likes her cooking."
Okay, thank you.
"You've already thanked me."
Zuo Qingya smiled and said, "I don't know what to say, so I can only say thank you."
"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll go get the food now."
"OK."
After everyone left, Zuo Qingya touched her stomach and said, "I can still eat a little more."
A moment later, Zuo Qingya heard footsteps and smelled the aroma of food.
Zuo Qingya also saw those eyes.
Zuo Qingya is now immune to it. Although it feels a bit strange, Zuo Qingya is not afraid. Ghosts are also transformed from humans, so what is she afraid of? At worst, she will just die.
Zuo Qingya finished her meal and felt a bit too full, so she wanted to move around a bit.
"Um, I'd like to go for a walk, is that alright?"
"sure."
Zuo Qingya felt herself being pulled out of the room. Apart from those eyes, she could see nothing else.
Yu Xun knew that Zuo Qingya couldn't see, so he could only describe what he saw to Zuo Qingya.
As Zuo Qingya listened, she also thought about the scene Yu Xun had described to her. She felt it must be quite beautiful, but unfortunately she couldn't see it. All she could see was a vast expanse of darkness, and that familiar light—no, it should be eyes, pairs of them flashing.
Zuo Qingya didn't know how long she wandered around, only that time passed quickly. Before long, Yu Xun brought her back.
As soon as she got back, Zuo Qingya felt sleepy for no reason and fell asleep lying down.
When she woke up, she saw a familiar environment. "Isn't this the scene I just saw yesterday? How did I end up here again?"
Looking at these mounds of graves, Zuo Qingya walked over curiously to take a look, but she could only understand half of the inscriptions on them.
Because some characters are the same as modern Chinese characters, but there are still differences, Zuo Qingya felt that she was a bit illiterate. She could only understand a little bit. For example, what should this character in front of her be pronounced? To steal? Zuo Qingya shook her head, not quite sure, and could only give up.
Zuo Qingya looked around and recognized very few characters, but she wasn't sure if what she thought the characters meant was correct.
After looking her over, Zuo Qingya shook her head and left.
Zuo Qingya didn't expect to come to this courtyard again. When she saw the old lady, Zuo Qingya suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
I wanted to steal another piece of clothing from the older woman, but unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any clothes hanging outside.
Zuo Qingya shook her head and could only leave this place and walk into the forest.
As soon as Zuo Qingya entered the forest, she saw a lively rabbit.
Zuo Qingya's eyes lit up. "There's meat to eat!"
Zuo Qingya grabbed the rabbit by the ears, lifted it up, and bounced it around. "Wow, it's quite heavy, at least three or four pounds, enough for me to eat my fill."
Zuo Qingya found a stream, sat down on the ground, gutted the rabbit, skinned it, leaving only the rabbit meat, and threw the internal organs into the water, letting it float away with the current.
Zuo Qingya couldn't use fire magic, so she could only use the old method of making fire by rubbing sticks together. It sounded easy, but it was really difficult to do. Zuo Qingya felt like her hands were going to break before she could get even a tiny spark. She didn't dare to delay, and as soon as she got a spark, she started blowing on it, blowing hard until the spark got bigger and bigger.
Zuo Qingya stopped and continued adding dry grass so it would burn faster.
Seeing that the fire had grown a little bigger, Zuo Qingya added thicker branches until the fire got bigger and bigger, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Finally got it on fire. It really wasn't easy."
Zuo Qingya didn't roast the rabbit meat directly. Instead, she waited a while until the branches burned out and the remaining charcoal embers were piled up to the side. Then, she started roasting the rabbit meat over the charcoal embers.
Although there were no seasonings or oil, Zuo Qingya still managed to make it look oily and glistening.
Zuo Qingya took a bite, nodded, and commented, "Although there aren't many seasonings, it's alright, barely edible."
After Zuo Qingya finished eating the roasted rabbit, she put out the fire, stood up, and walked off in a random direction.
It seemed she was lucky; when she reached the main entrance and saw the three familiar characters, Zuo Qingya nodded and went inside.
Once inside, Zuo Qingya felt the smell was even worse; the previous fragrance seemed to have masked it, but now it was gone.
Without it, the smell of blood became even more pronounced.
Zuo Qingya didn't think much of it; she was just curious about where the bloody smell was coming from.
Following the stench of blood, Zuo Qingya walked further and further astray until she reached a small courtyard. She stopped and looked around; the courtyard seemed uninhabited for a long time. But why was the smell of blood coming from here?
Zuo Qingya pushed the door open, and heard a creak.
The small animals inside were startled by Zuo Qingya's opening of the door and scattered in all directions.
