Chapter 19



Cao'er's mother got up very early. She always did so. She opened her eyes before dawn. Once she opened her eyes, she could not fall asleep again and had to get up and work.

Although the supermarket is not dirty, those who are used to working feel uncomfortable all over their bodies when they have some free time.

Not only did she wake up herself, she also turned around and woke up Cao'er and the others.

Except for a few children, the adults woke up.

The female employees put on their coats and then pulled up their own curtains. They had a clear division of labor and had each divided up their own areas for cleaning.

The two oldest people stayed in the warehouse to look after the children, while the others had to find work to do if there was no work.

The children have recovered their energy, and they have recovered faster and with more courage than the adults.

If they are not supervised, they will run around everywhere. If they run out of the supermarket and get lost in the woods, that would be the end of them.

The women went to wash one after another. Their hair had grown a lot, and at least they were no longer bald.

It would be a lie to say they don't care about their hair.

If the immortal had not spoken, how could they have cut their hair so neatly for fear of being driven away?

Can a handful of hair be compared to life?

"What do you want to eat this morning?" The women gathered together and talked with smiles on their faces.

Cao'er's mother is now familiar with them and no longer has a stern face like before. She said, "I'm too lazy to cook. We'll have bread this morning, and two sausages and an egg for each person."

The children shouted happily: "There are sausages!"

“The ham is delicious!”

They laughed and the sound seemed to break through the sky.

After the adults scolded them for a few words, the children finally quieted down, but they all looked at Cao'er's mother with longing.

Although it is a starchy sausage, both children and adults think it is worse than meat - only slightly worse than fat.

But now they have oily meals every day and are not so eager for fat.

After the female employees finished cleaning up, they walked into the supermarket sales area with linen mops, with smiles still on their faces, but suddenly they froze where they were.

They couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at the girl standing next to the shelf as if she were a monster.

The layers of black skirt set off her pale skin. Her light golden curly hair looked very light under the light, more like silver than blonde. She was holding a fake rose in her hand and was standing on tiptoe to hook the chocolates on the upper shelf.

"Monster..." An employee stepped back with a trembling voice.

They have lived in the countryside for generations, and all they see are fields and mountains and rivers. They have never even seen a few living people, let alone the Hu people.

Even Cao'er's mother, who claimed to be the most knowledgeable, couldn't stop trembling at this moment.

It seems that even time has stopped at this moment

Until the girls discovered them.

She turned her head, and her red eyes reflected the faces of the female employees. There was no childish innocence in her eyes at all.

If she moved at this moment, the employees would scatter.

"Monster! Monster!" someone finally shouted.

They even forgot that this was a supermarket, the "immortal's cave".

Employees scrambled to the warehouse - their families were still in the warehouse!

The only person who didn't move was Cao'er's mother. She looked at the girl in front of her blankly.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to run, it’s just that her legs are too weak and she can’t run.

Sarah looked at the employees' fleeing backs with some surprise. She didn't think there was anything wrong with herself. Although her skin was a little paler, it was not a common skin color among humans. As for her hair, it was a little lighter, but it was also golden, which was not surprising.

"Why are they running?" Sarah finally got the box of chocolates. After opening it, she walked to Cao'er Niang, took one out of the box and handed it to Cao'er Niang.

She didn't eat it herself, she just opened the package of one and smelled it.

Cao'er's mother's three souls and seven spirits were gone. She neither reached out to take the things nor spoke a word.

"You, you stay away from my mother!"

Cao'er ran back, holding a fruit knife with the tip of the knife pointed at Sarah. Although her whole body was shaking, she still held the handle tightly and shouted with all her might, "Stay away from my mother! Monster!"

Sarah looked at her strangely: "Monster? You want to say I'm a monster?"

Sarah held her chin in her hand and acknowledged the statement: "That's indeed what humans call us."

"He wouldn't call me that." Sarah seemed to remember something happy. She smiled at Cao'er, "Do you want some chocolate?"

"By the way, my name is Sarah." Sarah introduced herself, "What's your name?"

Sarah added: "I'm the new bodyguard and I'll be working here from now on."

The word "work" brought back Cao'er's mother's sanity and slowly eased her fear.

——This is the immortal’s cave. No matter what kind of monsters or demons there are, they are no match for the immortal.

The blond, high-nosed monster in front of me must have been captured by the immortal to do the work to atone for his sins!

Or maybe this monster is a good monster and was also saved by the immortal.

Cao'er's mother was still trembling, but she mustered up the courage to say to Sarah: "You, since you are the same as us, you shouldn't take the things at the price!"

Sarah glanced at the chocolate in her hand and blinked: "I took the cheapest one and asked the boss to deduct it from my salary."

Maybe because the conversation was so ordinary, Cao Er Niang's sense of responsibility finally overcame her fear. She swallowed her saliva and said with a straight face, "You took it without asking! This is stealing! Even if you owe money, you have to inform the immortal first!"

Sarah stood there, silent.

After a long silence, Sarah looked into Cao'er's mother's eyes and said, "I did something wrong. I apologize. It won't happen again."

Cao'er walked to the side of Cao'er's mother at this time. Looking at her mother's serious and solemn expression, she suddenly felt inexplicably confident - her mother was the mortal most valued by the immortals, so of course she was not afraid of monsters. As her mother's daughter, she had no reason to be afraid of monsters.

What's more, this monster had just been scolded by her mother.

The same treatment she received showed that there was nothing to be afraid of.

"What kind of monster are you?" Cao'er couldn't help but ask curiously.

Sarah said honestly, "I survive by sucking blood."

Cao'er's eyes widened, and she pulled her mother's clothes and said, "Mom! She is a leech monster!"

Cao'er's mother looked at Sarah's pale face and could not connect this pale girl with the dark leeches, but she still said calmly: "Anything can be a monster."

Even storytellers can't say that leeches can become monsters!

No bug can be compared to any monster.

Cao'er's mother was not worried that Sarah would suck her blood. Now they were in the immortal cave, and no matter how powerful the monster was, it would have to be a vegetarian!

What's so scary about a vegetarian monster?

"Go to the warehouse and tell them." Cao'er's mother was not afraid at this moment and put on airs, completely forgetting that she was frightened to the point of limp legs just now. She said seriously, "What are you doing making such a fuss? Are you afraid of monsters in the immortal cave?"

Cao'er: "That's right! I'll go tell them!"

·

When Ye Zhou got up, he saw Sarah had perfectly blended into the crowd and was having dinner with the employees.

In front of Sarah was a plate of blood sausage - she ate it with great relish.

If you get closer you can hear what they are chatting about.

"You actually have a family?!" The women looked at Sarah in surprise.

It shouldn't be easy for leeches to become monsters, right?! And do leeches have parents?

Sarah looked at a piece of blood sausage and curled her lips and said, "They are all bad people. Because I am the youngest and the weakest, none of them take me seriously. One day, I will let them see my ability clearly! Those who regret it will cry bitterly in front of me."

Probably thinking of that scene, Sarah couldn't help but laugh.

The women all said, "You are a girl, why are you so competitive?"

"With such a bad temper, you will never be able to get married in the future!"

"That's right! In our village, there are few families that send matchmakers to the homes of the girls with bad tempers when they reach a certain age."

But they changed the subject and said, "It won't be a problem after we get married."

"After you get married, you have to become powerful! Otherwise, you will be bullied."

"When you are a girl, you have to be gentle, even if you have to pretend."

Sarachi asked, "Marriage? Why do you want to get married?"

Women also couldn't understand her question: "How can your family support you if you don't get married?"

Sarah ate another piece of blood sausage: "I can feed myself."

The women were horrified, but soon calmed down: "You are a monster!"

"We can't do that. Even if we go out to work and become a maid for a wealthy family, we still need a man to guarantee us!"

"If there were no men, all our property and land would be taken away by the clan, and we wouldn't even have enough to eat."

Sarah finally understood: "You can't have your own property?"

The women looked at each other and laughed: "Why else do they say that one should obey one's father at home and one's husband after marriage?"

Sarah understood again: "Because you yourselves are the property of your father or husband?"

The women couldn't laugh anymore.

Sarah: "I heard that humans are like this. Where I live, human men can trade their wives."

Although Ye Zhou wanted to continue listening, the employees still discovered Ye Zhou.

"Master Immortal!" The employees stood up in a hurry and bowed to Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou: “…”

Ahhhhhhh!

Oh, God! Take him away!

Before Sarah and Zou Ming came, the employees just called him immortal and bowed to him.

But being called an immortal in front of Sarah and Zou Ming - he now just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

They don’t think they have any special hobbies, do they?

What would they think of him in their hearts?

Think he's a pervert?

Ye Zhou didn't dare to look at Sarah and Zou Ming's expressions. His whole body was stiff, and he said like a robot according to the set program: "No need to salute."

The female employees then stood up straight awkwardly.

Ye Zhou: "...you sit down and continue eating."

The employees looked at each other, and no one dared to sit down. They subconsciously looked at Sarah who was still sitting on the chair.

Alas, this monster is too young and unruly, and does not even know how to salute the immortal.

They didn't see Ye Zhou's expression, and didn't know that Ye Zhou's soul had left his body at this time, and he felt that he was completely dead.

The author has something to say:

Ye Zhou: "Don't stop me! Let me find a hole to crawl into!"

Everyone: “…”

Ye Zhou (turning his head): "Are you really not going to stop them?"
