Waiting for her inner breath to recover, Yan Hui was bored every day.
As for why she was bored during the day.......
Because every night Yan Hui would have a weird nightmare. She could see an enormous moon and a snow-covered mountain. The heavens and earth were tightly bound by a spell. There was also an indistinct yet strangely familiar figure.
Every night, she would have this dream. Sometimes, even when she'd thought that she had clearly seen the face of the person in the dream, when she woke it was like a gust of wind blew it away. Everything was gone. All that was left was a fuzzy outline that she couldn't wrap her mind around.
Could it be that something in the village was tainted? It found her and brought dreams?
Even so, why was she the one laying on the ground being killed?
She couldn't figure it out.
Ever since arriving at this village, Yan Hui discovered that there were a lot of matters she couldn't figure out.
Everyday she tried hard to investigate the crippled man, but every time she tried to leave A'Fu's side, she would always be stopped by him without a word or move.
Yan Hui knew he wasn't a snake demon but something else. It was inevitable she would be a little more wary; she didn't want to let out that she had discovered something. She had also been beaten at her own game, so now she was waiting to see what he wanted.
"Let's go."
She glanced at A'Fu who was standing in the courtyard with a hoe hoisted on his shoulder. She yawned, picked up the mantou and water, and started walking toward him.
After a few days, A'Fu really seemed like a young peasant man who got married. Everyday, he went to the field to work. The only difference between him and others was that he brought her along.
"Grandmother, I'm leaving." A'Fu turned his head and called out to Old Lady Xiao. She weakly nodded her head.
Yan Hui also turned to look at Old Lady Xiao. In Yan Hui's eyes, she saw that the old lady's breath was slowly turning gray. Yan Hui couldn't be more familiar with that color. Every time something impure floated by, Yan Hui would see their entire body emit this color.
Old Lady Xiao's body aura was still very light. However, not long afterwards, the aura will slowly darken. Finally, it'll become the same black color as a ghost becoming a shadow. At that time, her life will end.
Yan Hui turned back around and stared at A'Fu's back. After being with him for a couple days, Yan Hui knew that A'Fu really cared for Old Lady Xiao. Yan Hui had no idea what matter had whetted his temper to be so silent and forbearing - but by thinking about it, she could have an inkling. In any case, it couldn't be a happy matter. And now A'Fu, who had endured a misfortune, would once again have to experience the pain of loss in his lifetime......
He was a mysterious guy and maybe had some ulterior motive toward her, but his life hadn't been easy. Yan Hui walked while thinking. She pondered on it and then deeply sighed.
A'Fu turned his head to look at her. Yan Hui lifted her head and met his gaze. Then she solemnly said: "Today's five mantou, you eat three. I'll eat two."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After eating dinner, Yan Hui felt like the room was stuffy, so she climbed onto the roof to look at the stars. However it was a full moon. The moon was so bright it dimmed the many stars. Looking at the bright moon on the horizon, Yan Hui remembered the unusually large moon in her dream. For a moment, Yan Hui felt like she was in an illusion. She felt like there was something pressing against her stomach, suffocating her until she couldn't breathe.
She sat up and rubbed her stomach. She was just thinking about returning to the room to sleep when she unexpectedly saw A'Fu walk out of the room backwards.
Yes, he was actually walking backwards, like something demented......
What's wrong with this demon......
Yan Hui's line of sight followed him. She saw him staggeringly leap into the woodshed and then exit with a bundle of firewood. Then he staggered out of the small courtyard. Although the entire chain of events seemed hard to do, A'Fu seemed at ease doing them. It was like he had done this before.
Yan Hui was curious. She jumped off the roof and followed A'Fu.
The moon was shining bright. It shone on A'Fu's solitary yet capable figure as he walked toward the lake. He walked until he reached a slightly spacious place with no vegetation. Then he put down the firewood. He pulled out some paper to feed the fire and concentrated on starting a fire.
In the split second the fire flared to life, Yan Hui saw A'Fu's face was covered in sweat and extremely pale.
What was he doing......why did it look like something heretical.......
Yan Hui was really curious. It was unknown if A'Fu had heart palpitations or what, but he suddenly collapsed forward. The thin firewood that had just been lit went out.
It seemed like he didn't have the strength to get up. He curled up on the ground, jaw tightly clenched. It was exactly like he was suffering some inhuman pain.
What kind of pain would make a person who normally didn't react to pain suffer like this......
Yan Hui couldn't keep looking.
She walked up. "Hey." She crouched down and looked at A'Fu's face. Then she took the paper tinder in his hand. She originally planned to light the firewood for him, but she didn't think that when she touched his hand, A'Fu would suddenly seize her hand.
"Wha......"
Then Yan Hui only felt that her back hurt. She unexpectedly had been pushed down. Then her lips felt heat. This demon in the skin of a pretty boy took control of her mouth and bit her.......
The author has something to say: That's right. Bit her ╮(╯▽╰)╭
