One pound of meat equals one attribute point

"Yingying, the girls on the boat all say you are a fairy fox, why do you say you are a demon? Are there really demons like you in this world who can heal diseases and save people?"

Guanjiang, Red Building, ninth floor.

The fog on the river has not dispersed yet, in an inconspicuous room.

A girl in red, about 16 or 15 years old, as delicate and beautiful as a porcelain doll, has her long hair hanging down, and is carefully tracing her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror in front of her.

She was tracing her eyebrows and talking to herself.

It was like I was having a conversation with something in the mirror.

"Yingying, if it weren't for you, I and the sisters on the boat would have become dry bones in the river."

"You said you eat people..."

"But if you eat people, you are a demon. The biggest demons in this world should be the young masters of the aristocratic families and the high officials of the court."

"This Baihua County is so prosperous, but after all, this prosperity only belongs to a small group of people."

"These people are the real monsters. They all deserve to die."

The girl who traces her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror is none other than Li Hongxiu, who caused a sensation by dancing on the drum in the Red Mansion.

She was just talking.

The originally cold voice gradually gained a hint of hatred.

Because there was fog on the river, oil lamps were still lit in the room.

The oil lamp swayed gently with the river water, bringing a ray of light and illuminating the mirror in front of me.

The copper mirror has a slight curvature.

The reflection inside is slightly distorted.

But he could clearly see that what was in the mirror was not Li Hongxiu's beautiful and delicate face.

Instead, it was a fiery red fox face with fine hair.

The slender fox face has human-like eyes and nose. The combination of the two makes it feel particularly weird and scary.

But Li Hongxiu didn't find it strange.

She put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand, with a soft light in her eyes, and reached out to gently touch the bronze mirror.

The fiery red fox inside seemed to be able to feel Li Hongxiu's slender fingers, and gently rubbed his face on the girl's fingertips, making a "嘤嘤" sound.

Feeling the gentle touch from her fingertips, Li Hongxiu felt inexplicably relieved.

There was also a soft smile on the cold face.

She remembered what happened to the Red Mansion two years ago. At that time, the Red Mansion was passing through Lianshan City in the upper reaches of the Guanjiang River.

The performance started as usual, but something unexpected happened.

At that time, Li Hongxiu had not yet become famous, and was just an ordinary dancer in the Red Mansion.

The son of Lian Shancheng County Lieutenant ordered Li Hongxiu to accompany him at night.

In the Red Mansion, a sister with whom she had a very good relationship volunteered to be her replacement, and the young master nodded in agreement.

But at night...

From the young master's room, screams could be heard.

When everyone opened the locked door, all they saw was Cuixiang's bloody body.

It turns out that this young man named Zhao is inhumane and has a weird personality.

His favorite thing is to torture young and beautiful women.

In order to avoid harming other sisters, Cuixiang kept silent even though she was tortured.

It wasn't until the end that the man wanted to kill her and she screamed.

But it's too late.

By the time everyone broke open the door, Mr. Zhao had already pierced Cuixiang's lower body with his long sword, piercing his heart and killing him.

Cuixiang has a gentle personality and is a very good person.

Li Hongxiu still remembered that when she first arrived in Lianshan City, Cuixiang held her in her arms and pointed to the fields on the shore.

Mung beans are ripe this season.

Then buy some honey and make mung bean cakes to share with the sisters in the red building.

Although the Red Mansion is a place of turmoil, the sisters inside are more affectionate than Jinlan. Dancers and musicians swarmed forward and surrounded Mr. Zhao.

Li Hongxiu still remembers stabbing the man in the cheek with a gold hairpin, leaving a long and narrow scar.

Blood tastes good.

It's a pity that the stabbing place was not the neck.

Mr. Zhao didn't get angry, he just looked at her deeply and turned to leave.

Within a quarter of an hour, the county soldiers surrounded the Red Building, killing people and setting fire to it. The screams of the prostitutes and musicians could not be heard.

"Hahaha!" In the light of the fire, Mr. Zhao laughed wildly, "This kind of dance is wonderful!"

He came to himself again.

To this day, Li Hongxiu can no longer remember what happened.

Even Mr. Zhao's face was blurred, but she remembered Mr. Zhao's short and ugly figure, which became so tall under the background of power and firelight. She remembered the despair at that time, the screams and wails from her sisters, and the painful feeling of the tongue of fire licking her skin.

still remember……

The elegant red fox walked slowly from the blazing fire.

"Yingying, when we finish the work here, we will go to Lianshan City." Li Hongxiu's eyes were shining with water.

She held the bronze mirror in her arms, and the girl's beautiful fair cheek pressed tightly against the mirror, "When the time comes, we will go to the fields to pick mung beans, and then go to the cliff to collect honey. Sister Cuixiang said, the cliff The wild honey served is the sweetest and most delicious. Let’s make the best mung bean cake and share it with the sisters, okay?”

The red fox in the mirror did not answer, but frowned in a very humane manner, seeming to be thinking.

Li Hongxiu released the bronze mirror in her arms and noticed this.

"Did you encounter an accident?" She whispered, turning to look out the window.

Nothing could be seen clearly, it was hazy outside, and the fog seemed to have formed into substance, like catkins floating in the air.

Li Hongxiu's face was slightly condensed, and she noticed something was wrong.

Although the weather today was not very good, and there was fog on the river in the morning, such a heavy fog was very abnormal.

Moreover...

The noisy laughter of the sisters who got up early to practice and talk could not be heard.

Alone, as if abandoned by the whole world.

"Fortunately, Yingying is still here." Li Hongxiu brushed her chest with her bare hands, and felt a stuffiness there.

She looked down and saw the solemn face of the red fox in the mirror.

She could even see a trace of trembling and fear.

"You said that two ghosts disappeared inexplicably, and something was approaching us." Li Hongxiu looked flustered and subconsciously tensed her body.

She continued to ask, but the red fox stopped answering.

Because even the perception of the demon could not penetrate the fog that enveloped the entire red building in front of him.

Bang!

The ground suddenly shook.

In the fog, something huge, heavy, and indescribable was approaching.

Li Hongxiu's heart also trembled violently along with the floor, and the blood color on her face gradually disappeared and turned pale.

In the mirror.

The red fox became more and more anxious, showing its teeth and its hair swelled.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The frequency of the ground shaking became more and more rapid, and the dull sound echoed in the red building, coming from all directions.

Li Hongxiu stood up and held the gold hairpin on the dressing table tightly, and the blue veins on the back of her hand were visible.

Her pupils contracted and she stared at the door and window in front of her.

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

There was a terrible silence, and then there was a crisp sound of clicking. Not from the door and window, but from above!

Li Hongxiu looked up suddenly, her face was pale, and she almost screamed.

A huge human face, with a cold and fierce expression, chiseled through the wall and appeared above the window near the ceiling.

The wood blocks collapsed and fell, making a sound.

It was dark outside the window.

That was the monster's strong and broad chest, like a dark high wall, covering the entire window tightly.

Li Hongxiu was so scared that she almost forgot to breathe and trembled all over.

The face on the window swayed slightly, looked around, and finally lowered his head to Li Hongxiu.

The corners of his mouth moved his skin, and a toothy smile with sticky saliva appeared on the man's cold and ruthless face, "Little ghost, so you are hiding here."
