Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

The woman paused while feeding the child and asked in confusion, "Who is this young lady?"

"Mother, I brought Sister Feiyi here." Gousheng came out from behind Pei Shisanniang.

The woman was stunned at first, then she pulled Gousheng over and patted him a few times, "You little bastard, you dare to bring anyone home without even considering what your home looks like."

After hearing this, Pei Shisan Niang finally looked around the room.

She had no idea there was such a shabby place in the world.

Even the house that we accidentally glimpsed from the cave we escaped from was a world apart from this house that was leaking air from all sides.

But now it was such a house, and Pei Shisan Niang's eyes were filled with tears when she saw it.

She finally escaped from the dark cave.

  But did she really escape?

Pei Shisan Niang felt her body carefully and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. She could control her own body!

Seeing the woman patting the child, just like her grandmother patted her sisters, she couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes, "Aunt, don't blame the young man, it's all my fault."

The woman couldn't clap anymore, "Miss, are you in trouble?"

Pei Shisan Niang had been walking in the clouds and mist for who knows how many days. Her clothes were dirty and she had a sour smell on her body. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was in trouble.

Although she was embarrassed, her hunger and survival instinct prevailed.

"Aunt, I...I got separated from my family, so I came to your house to ask for something to eat."

After saying that, she felt too embarrassed to speak again.

The children of the Pei family had never been so embarrassed before, their backs were almost bent.

Pei Shisanniang knew that she had brought disgrace to her family, but she was now a hungry little girl and still wanted to return to her hometown again.

All the five generations and seven reputations, all the family integrity, are not as good as a bowl of hot soup.

The woman stared at her for a while, then put down the broom in her hand and said, "Young lady, come in first."

Pei Shisanniang was overjoyed, "Thank you, auntie."

The woman brought her into the house and poured her a bowl of hot water. "If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for one night and leave tomorrow."

Pei Shisan Niang wanted to hurry on, but was afraid of being caught up by those people.

Then she thought, she had been gone for so many days and no one had come after her, so they must have given up on her. She looked down again and saw that her shoes had been worn out at some point and her exposed toes were torn.

Pei Shisan Niang nodded, "Thank you, auntie."

Gousheng was also very happy, "Sister Feiyi is staying at my house, my mother is so nice."

My tense heart finally has a chance to breathe.

She thanked the mother and son repeatedly.

Through communicating with the mother and son and the fragments of their conversation, Pei Shisan Niang found out that this place was in Yongzhou in Lingnan, a place where criminals were exiled.

When the State of Jin was first founded, wars broke out in the country. In order to seek a peaceful life, they moved to the vicinity of Yunwu Mountain. As long as people nearby were not afraid of the miasma of Yunwu Mountain, they could live in peace.

Compared to the once prosperous cities that are now rife with disputes, this place would be a "paradise" if it weren't for the evil people in the cave.

Good times are always short-lived. The sky suddenly became dark.

When Pei Shisan's mother saw the darkness, her heart began to lift.

She saw the night, and it was as if she were back in the cave again.

I took some unknown medicine and spent day after day in a daze.

Pei Shisanniang realized at this moment that she had left the cave, but her "soul" seemed to remain in the cave forever.

"I'm back."

A male voice startled Pei Shisanniang out of her thoughts.

"Aye!" Gousheng ran over.

She looked in astonishment at the man who came in, carrying a bloody deer on his shoulders.

The man seemed to have seen him as well, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes, as if he had just hunted his prey.

  Pei Shisanniang's heart choked. In the past, when she was in the hunting ground, she would only be happy for her brothers when she saw these things, but now she just felt scared. If such a strong and powerful man had any bad intentions, what should she do?

Pei Shisanniang's slightly relaxed heartstrings were suddenly pricked up.

She had a simple dinner with the family of three and wanted to help wash the dishes.

But the woman refused and said that she couldn't ask guests for help.

Pei Shisan Niang, who was free, felt very uncomfortable staying in the same room with the father and son.

There was one more person in the house, and I didn't know if the man was shy or just didn't like to talk.

After saying that, he hasn't spoken again.

Gousheng was very happy and took Pei Shisanniang to a room.

"Sister Feiyi, mother said you should stay in this room tonight!" Gousheng seemed unaware of the adults' worries and happily pulled her into the house.

Pei Shisan Niang forced a smile, "Thank you for taking me in, young master Sheng."

Gousheng waved his hands, "Aniang said that they were also people who escaped from disasters in the past, and when they saw Sister Feiyi like this, they lent a hand to help."

Pei Shisan Niang smiled and Gousheng left the room.

The night is getting deeper.

Pei Shisan Niang tossed and turned, not daring to fall asleep.

She was dazed and seemed to hear some sound.

"Pei Shisan Niang, wake up, wake up quickly."

Pei Shisan Niang turned over uncomfortably but did not wake up.

The voice seemed somewhat unwilling, and kept lingering in her ears.

"Wake up quickly, they are all bad people, and they have ulterior motives in taking you in."

"Men are attracted by your beauty."

"The woman wants to exchange you for money"

"The child wants to raise you and make you his wife when he grows up."

Pei Shisanniang sat up in shock in her dream, not caring about the sweat all over her forehead, and rolled off the bed.

She groaned in pain and quickly covered her mouth.

Just now, she seemed to hear some movement in the main house.

But when she made a noise, the main house suddenly became quiet.

Pei Shisan Niang could only hear her own heartbeat and the sound of approaching footsteps.

She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she immediately climbed onto the bed and pretended to be asleep.

"Is she asleep?" It was a man's voice.

"Fall asleep, fall asleep, I said you were making a fuss!" the woman said in surprise.

"."

As they talked, their voices became quieter and quieter.

Pei Shisan Niang was calmer than ever before.

She quietly got out of bed, and when the couple returned to the main house, she also ambushed outside the house and heard their "planning" in the house.

"Gousheng is growing up day by day. The young lady named Feiyi is only a few years older than our son. It would be great if we could keep her as a child bride." The man sighed. "Where we live, we don't have much of a family to live with. If we can't find a new one in the future..."

The woman wiped her eyes and said, "Although Miss Feiyi's clothes are tattered, I don't think she is from a family like ours."

"Sister Feiyi is very beautiful. I want her to play with me forever." Gousheng's innocent voice was mixed in.

Pei Shisan Niang covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.

She quietly left the main house and turned in another direction. (End of this chapter)
