Everyone here wasn't a newbie; they all understood Li Feifei's subconscious words. She was just saying that those few bad apples in the village were still around, and that everyone should be careful.
"Got it. Everyone, just be careful and try not to spread out too much."
Tang Baozhu originally wanted to go with them, but considering that she was going to collect some soil to put into the small space, she could only act alone.
As for those with bad intentions who aren't afraid of death, let them come.
After we dispersed, we gradually moved away from the other people. Believe it or not, this place probably produces a lot of mushrooms; there were quite a lot of them, densely packed under the trees.
After picking all the mushrooms, I moved the area where they grew into a small space, and before I knew it, I was walking in a more and more remote place.
I had just found a patch of trees with lots of mushrooms and was squatting down to pick them up when suddenly someone behind me pressed down on me and covered my mouth.
Tang Baozhu's heart skipped a beat. She realized that what Li Feifei had just said had happened to her. Her wood-type superpower surged forth, and all the trees around her grew wildly, regardless of whether they had thorns or not, all of them aimed at the person behind her.
Perhaps a little frightened, he showed no mercy and quickly let go of the person covering his mouth, and then there was a thud behind him.
Tang Baozhu quickly turned around and saw that the person behind her had already been strangled by vines. After pulling all the vines back, she finally saw what the person looked like.
I have a vague recollection of him, but not a deep one. I think he must have been someone from the village who was worried about being discovered, so they quickly put him into the small space.
Tang Baozhu didn't want to pick mushrooms anymore. It was her first time killing someone, and she was trembling all over. She had only one thought in her mind: she must not let anyone find out. In this unfamiliar place, the villagers would definitely side with their own people.
Even if you are acting in self-defense, it won't work. The other party might turn the tables and accuse you of seducing him.
My hands are shaking so badly, I absolutely can't tell anyone about this, I'll just pretend I don't know anything.
But the corpse can't be kept in the small space, otherwise I'd feel disgusted every time I went in.
Tang Baozhu sat on the ground for about half an hour before she came to her senses. Her hands stopped shaking so much. She kept telling herself not to be afraid. There might be more of these kinds of things in the future. After all, before entering a world, you don't know what kind of world you will enter next.
She had already planned it all out: she would never take the body out. She would go back that night and ask her friends in the group if they knew anything that could destroy the evidence.
Tang Baozhu pretended not to know anything, filled the basket with mushrooms, and then returned to where everyone had gathered.
I was surprised to find that everyone had already arrived, and I was the only one left.
"Baozhu, why are you so late? Is there not enough mushroom in the direction you looked? Try a different direction this afternoon!"
Tang Baozhu pinched her hand hard to try and calm herself down. "Maybe that direction was wrong. I'll try a different direction this afternoon. Thank you so much for waiting here for me."
"There's no need to thank me. We all came out together, so we should definitely go back together. We can't do without anyone."
"That's right, that's right. Even though we don't sleep together at night, it doesn't affect our friendship at all."
"I was being too polite. I won't thank you anymore. Let's go back now."
Back at the educated youth settlement, everyone divided the work: some cooked, some cleaned the mushrooms, and some picked out the good ones to dry.
Tang Baozhu sat alone in the house, lost in thought. She had given the mushrooms to the robot to clean, and they would be taken outside to dry in the sun later. As for her own food, she had no appetite since what had just happened.
Even if she tells herself that the person deserved it, she will still feel uneasy about killing for the first time. She is not a powerful killer who can be without any psychological burden.
She didn't know how long she had been lost in thought when she heard people outside calling her to get ready to leave. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had been lost in thought for a long time.
After the robot had sorted and cleaned the mushrooms, I took them out to dry in the sun, then picked up my basket and set off with them again.
Tang Baozhu remained relatively quiet throughout the afternoon, but fortunately, since everyone was busy picking mushrooms, no one noticed her.
Lying in bed at night, I was completely dazed, staring at the ceiling. If I hadn't remembered that the corpse in the space hadn't been dealt with yet, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back to my senses.
I searched the warehouse for anything to cover up the crime, but I couldn't find anything. It's really unacceptable, but then again, who would have thought that such a thing would be needed?
There was no other way but to contact Brother Xu and send the body to him directly. I wonder if he would think I was ruthless.
Then I realized that even if I felt ruthless, there was nothing I could do but ask him for help. At least he could handle it with a single fireball spell. Besides, he was used to fighting and killing in the cultivation world and must have seen corpses often, so he probably wouldn't be afraid.
Xu Rui had just received the red envelope and wondered what the girl had sent him. He was quite excited at first, but when he opened it, he found a corpse. He was furious, thinking that something had happened to the girl.
Xu Rui: Is Baozhu alright? Did something happen? Is anything wrong?
Tang Baozhu didn't expect that the first question he asked her after receiving the red envelope was if she had anything to do.
A warm feeling washed over her for a moment. The pressure she had been under since morning was unimaginable. To see someone witness this and have the first question they asked was whether they were alright, instead of asking why the other person wanted to kill them.
Tang Baozhu: Brother Xu, I'm fine, you don't need to worry. It's just that when I was picking mushrooms today, this person was trying to harm me, and I was so scared that I accidentally killed him.
Just imagining this scene makes Xu Ruiguang wish he could travel through time and space to stand before the little girl. Unfortunately, he has no way to do so. Sometimes he even wonders if he could meet the little girl in his next life if he dies in this one. But he has heard that if a cultivator dies, his soul is scattered and there is no next life. He can only ascend to immortality and then find an opportunity to travel through time and space.
So he cultivated diligently, hoping to ascend to the Immortal Realm and find another opportunity to see the young girl.
Xu Rui: Baozhu, don't worry. I've prepared some self-defense items for you. Don't go out alone, and don't even go mushroom picking in the mountains. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you.
Xu Rui felt that since he had prepared so many things for Baozhu, and she still hoarded supplies everywhere like a little hamster, she must not feel secure. He was determined to make her feel completely secure.
