The demon in red skirt did not kill Bai Xiaozhen.
After Bai Xiaozhen finished the picking with trembling and fear, she returned to Lugui Village safely with the lantern guard.
There were more than twenty villagers who went out to pick fruits tonight, but less than twenty actually returned to the village, and the rest were lost in the valley.
Those who are lost can never get out again.
After taking the black deer herbs he picked to the village chief for inventory, Bai Xiaozhen received a generous reward.
There were two bags of rice and flour, and a dozen lamp oil candles that looked like dead branches.
Food can maintain the basic needs of the body.
Lamp oil and candles prolong life and prevent rapid death from aging.
These two things are essential to the lives of the villagers in Lugui Village. However, obtaining them can cost lives.
"Mom, I'm back."
Bai Xiaozhen dragged the rice and flour home with great effort. She saw the old woman sitting in the house with a somewhat hesitant expression and called out to her softly.
The old woman was old, and her reactions were a little slow. After a while, she squinted her eyes, looked at the figure not far away, and smiled: "You're back!? I'm glad you're back..."
The only daughter went out to pick fruits and she also did not sleep all night.
How can I sleep?
"I'm so sleepy, I'm going to bed first. Mom, you should sleep too."
If it were an ordinary day, Bai Xiaozhen would still feel a little grateful for having survived the disaster.
But in fact, if the old woman's eyesight was good enough, she should be able to see the girl's pale face and frightened eyes.
Bai Xiaozhen was lying on the bed, but she was not asleep. Instead, she stared with her eyes wide open with a hint of fear at the woman in the red dress who was stuck in the crack of the roof wall.
The body of the woman in the red dress seemed to have no weight at all, floating parallel to the roof, with half of her body sticking out and the other half completely buried in the wall.
Even Bai Xiaozhen's numb heart was startled tonight.
She did not get rid of the evil spirit's entanglement.
Instead, it attracted the evil spirits into the village.
As a villager, Bai Xiaozhen has heard many legends in the village and has a general understanding of the horror of monsters.
According to legend, every village has a treasure that can prevent the invasion of evil spirits.
However, if a monster appeared that was not afraid of the village treasure, it would represent a problem.
The village is about to be destroyed.
Without exception.
All the villages where this happened disappeared.
"The village is going to be destroyed by the monster?"
"Is it my fault? Did I bring the demon into the village?"
"Not only am I going to die here, but my mother and others will also be killed?"
Although Bai Xiaozhen has seen many lives and deaths, his emotions are numb most of the time.
But this is different.
If this monster followed her into the village, then the destruction of the entire village would be caused by her.
Even if it's indirect, it makes no difference.
'I'll kill everyone.'
This thought popped up in Bai Xiaozhen's mind, and he stared at the girl in red dress with a terrified look.
She was afraid that this thing would suddenly become hideous and twisted, and then swallow up the entire village.
"I don't eat people. People are not tasty."
The girl in red dress seemed to see through Bai Xiaozhen's thoughts and shook her head repeatedly.
However, she was stuck in a crack in the wall, with only half of her body exposed, a blood-red mess. Her long black hair hung down, covering most of her face. Although her words were cute and sweet, they added a touch of horror to her appearance.
"Besides, your village will soon be gone." The red-skirted demon said with a smile, "Come with me to cultivate immortality, and you will be able to live a richer life in this life. It's so boring to be a miserable village girl."
Bai Xiaozhen has no talent in this life, his life span is short, and his foundation is damaged.
There is a price to pay for picking those black deer grasses.
The price paid is the villagers' lifespans and their very humanity. Every sting of picking is a loss of lifespan and humanity.
Until it completely withers, becomes a walking corpse, and then quickly dies of old age.
Even if it is repaired later, the foundation will be damaged and the destiny will be flawed.
So in this situation, Xu Xianxian did not expect Bai Xiaozhen to achieve anything in this life.
In any case, in her all-seeing eyes, the other party's fate is predetermined, and there are no blind spots in her vision.
If there are no blind spots, it means that the other party has no possibility of transcending time and fate.
At this time, even if Bai Xiaozhen practiced and repaired his foundation, he could only stop at the Golden Core Realm, and could only maintain wealth for a hundred years.
If he didn't practice with her, he would die of natural old age in seven or eight years.
"If I go with you to cultivate immortality, will you let this village go?"
The other party said that the village was about to be destroyed, and Bai Xiaozhen felt that the other party was going to kill people on a large scale, so he begged for mercy in a low voice.
I hope that after this demon in red dress kills her, she will let the others go.
Strangely, the old woman next to him seemed to have not heard Bai Xiaozhen's words at all. It seemed that once the matter of the woman in the red dress was involved, the surrounding logic would be inexplicably distorted.
"I told you I won't eat humans, and it wasn't me who destroyed this village." The woman in the red dress slowly floated down, laughing softly. "This world is overrun with demons and monsters, and villages and cities are destroyed every day. This is the law of nature. Don't you even have this basic understanding?"
In this world, monsters and demons are the mainstream, and humans are just accessories.
"If I practice cultivation with you, can I save my mother and the other villagers?"
Bai Xiaozhen was silent for a moment, then raised his head again, with a hint of other emotions in his numb eyes.
