a very dark dark guard

Mrs. Baigu is meditating in her room. Her room has a simple layout without any partitions or shelters. She sits cross-legged on the bed, and people outside the window can see it at a glance.They confirmed that she was in the house, lowered their heads and whispered a few words, and began to look around the house.

I figured that they were looking for me and Yunzhou, and it is not convenient for others to know about Madam Baigu's acceptance of me as an apprentice.

I deliberately avoided them, and secretly set up a 'Qi' net, and injected 'Qi' into my body when they stepped on them.

They sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't find out what the problem was. They retreated vigilantly to the gate and came out through the wall like cooks.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, another short and fat man entered the yard through the wall. He wore an apron around his waist and looked like a cook.

The man entered the courtyard tremblingly, looking left and right every step he took, his legs were shaking violently, his head was covered in cold sweat, and he was extremely frightened.

He should know what his fate is when he comes in, either there is a ready-made corpse for him to cook, or he serves as a dish.

The last cook who went out must have said that there are no ingredients in the kitchen.

Those people came to check this morning, and there was indeed no dead body in the kitchen.

Then he came here, most likely just as a meal.

He walked to the kitchen with trembling steps, and seeing that there was no corpse inside, his legs softened immediately, and he sat on the threshold.

I wondered why he didn't run away, and just as I was guessing why he didn't run away, he moved and stumbled towards the main entrance.

I followed him quietly, and found that he bumped his head against the wall and didn't get out.

He beat the wall, cried and howled, and tried to climb over the wall, but he obviously had no martial arts, the wall was smooth and there was no place to step on, so he scratched there for a long time and couldn't climb up.

"Don't waste your energy, you won't be able to get out even if you climb up." I appeared at this time and advised him to give up escaping.

"Ah—" the man screamed, and turned to look at me with a ghostly expression on his face.

"Stop screaming. The person who wants to eat you is sleeping. If you wake her up, she will die faster." I found that Madam Baigu's so-called rest means sleeping during the day.

The man quickly covered his mouth, trying not to make a sound.

"Are you the cook?" I didn't step forward, afraid of scaring him, and asked standing five meters away from him.

He nodded fiercely, covering his mouth and unable to speak.

"I don't eat people, and I'm trapped here too...Prisoner, calm down, let's talk."

The man seems to have regained his thinking ability at this moment. He looked at me seriously, and probably realized that I looked like a normal person, not like a man-eating monster, so his emotions gradually calmed down.

But he was so frightened just now that he seemed to have collapsed and couldn't stand up at all.

He was sitting under the wall, and I was standing talking to him.

A few hours before the sun set, the man told me that his name was Ah Shun, and he was the owner of a noodle stall. The wonton soup he cooked was delicious. Neighbors on several streets knew it. People lined up to buy his wonton soup every day.

The cook who ran out yesterday was his uncle, the chef of the ramen restaurant.

The 'monster' in this house likes to eat human flesh, so the government hired a cook to come in every day to cook food for the monster.

Boiling human broth is easy, but not many people dare to do it. Some cooks were scared to pee on the spot when they heard it, and they couldn't be sent in to do the work.

And this 'monster' is moody, and the cooks who come in often come and go.

At the beginning, the government still hired serious chefs, but later they felt that the consumption was a bit too much, so they only selected small stall chefs like them to 'please'.

The order of the government, whether it is paid or not, has to be paid, otherwise the whole family will be arrested and exiled into the army.

Ah Shun's wife and children were held under the hands of the officers and soldiers, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Yesterday his uncle ran away privately, and the whole family was imprisoned. They will be sent to the frontier to build a defensive wall in a few days.

Stretching out his head and shrinking his head, he had to take on the deadly job. He had a chance to go out when he came in, but if he didn't come in, his whole family would suffer.

Lady Baigu has done a lot of evil, since I am here, I will definitely stop her from eating people.

I told Ah Shun to rest assured that today he is here to cook ordinary meals, but he may have to live in the house for a few days.

The people outside didn't intend to let him go out, so his ability to pass through the wall was no longer effective.

He had no choice but to trust me, he wanted to kowtow to me, but I stopped him in time.

People in this world kowtow at every turn, but as a modern person, I still can't get used to it. I always feel that I have to give people red envelopes.

I took Ah Shun back to the kitchen, turned out the noodles and oil and handed them to him. He is good at making pasta, but my cooking skills are too average, so I can eat better in Yunzhou with him.

When Mrs. Baigu woke up at night, I waited at the door and told her that a new cook had arrived in the house, who could just cook for Yun Zhou and me. This person had to be kept so that I could concentrate on practicing.

Mrs. Bai Gu nodded in agreement, she said that she didn't have a good life for a few days, and it didn't make much sense whether she could eat people or not.

Her body is different from ordinary people, I have never seen her like this.

She was eager to pass on what she had learned to me, and she didn't care about other things.

Ah Shun stayed in the house to cook, and Mrs. Baigu slept during the day and taught me exercises at night.

I will hand over Yunzhou to Ah Shun to take care of, and let him have three meals a day.

Nine days passed like this, and no one was sent in to check it out.

In the end, Mrs. Baigu wanted me to use Ah Shun to try marrow absorption, but I refused and promised to be her apprentice, but I never promised her to use this martial art to harm people.

She seemed powerless to argue with me, as if she was exhausted.

She didn't eat people for nine days, which accelerated her death process. If she ate every day, she could last for about two months.

Now she only persisted for nine days, and on the night of the tenth day, she was completely out of breath.

She taught me everything she had learned in her life, including not only marrow suction, but also a martial art.

Seeing that I have a photographic memory, she made an impromptu decision to instill in me everything she knew and knew.

Digestion problems can be left for later, and I will slowly organize and absorb them myself.

Madam Baigu died, and Ah Shun was completely relieved.

Mrs. Baigu explained that she will be cremated after death, and she doesn't want to be buried here, and she doesn't need to be sent back to her hometown, as long as she finds a high place and raises her ashes on a windy day.

She is going with the wind...

There was enough firewood in the kitchen yard. I put her body on the firewood pile and poured oil on it. It is not easy to cremate with this kind of soil method, and it takes a long time to burn.

There was smoke rising from the courtyard and floating over the house. I think people outside would definitely notice it.

However, they remained silent and did not send anyone in to check.

Ah Shun started to worry again, and looked at me with vigilance.

He was afraid that after we ran out of food, I would also use him as rations.

I asked if anyone had done anything to him before he came in. He must have used a special method to get in through the wall.

He said that the officer gave him a small pill, and he came in after taking it.

There were supposed to be two, one in and one out, but they only gave him one, so he expected that they weren't going to let him out alive.
