Gu Cheng seemed to have sensed Gu Mei’s surprise, so he waved amicably, “This child is very nice and gave us a lot of supplies. It doesn’t matter if he tags along. Also, I can tell that these kids are very strong. I will feel more at ease if they tag along.”

“I see,” Gu Mei nodded, believing Gu Cheng’s words.

Qin Yi scoffed in her heart, but the smile on her face became more and more innocent and well-behaved—you’re so nice? As if!

She was not stupid.

“Really, thank you so much,” Qin Yi said, putting on the look of a well-mannered youth.

After Qin Yi said goodbye to Gu Cheng, she left his home with Gu Mei. On the road, Qin Yi randomly asked, “Aunty Gu, I heard just now that anyone who went into the ancestral hall died in the end. How did that happen?”

Gu Mei’s heart jumped—this matter was taboo in the village, and the moment the subject was brought up, Gu Mei’s smile became slightly bitter.

“What’s the matter, you can’t say?” Qin Yi stopped to ask. She could see the bitterness in Gu Mei’s eyes very clearly.

“It’s not that I can’t say,” Gu Mei sighed. “This isn’t really a secret anyway.”

Their village was established a few years ago and the village chief insisted on building an ancestral hall, claiming that a village could not exist without rules.

They thought that it made sense, so they built one.

The first time a person made a mistake, the village chief locked the person in the hall. After he came out, he was fine for a week, then suddenly developed a severe disease.

He was in a trance and did not recognize anyone. Then, he suddenly died in his own home one day. His death was very tragic, leaving behind only skin and bones, his blood and flesh not there at all.

The whole village was in a state of panic, but the village chief was firm, stating that the person had a strange disease.

They were somewhat suspicious and thought it was some kind of mutated beast, but they couldn’t find any evidence and had to believe the village chief.

After that, it was like a curse, and whoever went into the hall would suffer a terrible death in the end.

They panicked, but they couldn’t find anything, simply leaving it unsettled in the end.

“Ay, I don’t know what’s the reason, but I hope that it will be fixed soon.” Gu Mei’s eyes were red as she spoke.

Qin Yi knew that Gu Mei’s husband died because of this.

A cold light flashed in Qin Yi’s eyes as she comforted Gu Mei; Qin Yi had quite a good impression of Gu Mei.

When Qin Yi returned home, w.a.n.g Wenwen and Feng Qingge had woken up and were sitting by the door, anxiously waiting for her to come back.

As soon as they saw her, their eyes lit up at the same time.

“Little Yiyi, I’m hungry.”

“Prince Charming, I’m hungry.”

Qin Yi held her forehead—why was it that those by her side were all gluttons?

Qin Yi didn’t have a choice and had to feed these two people before she told them about the strange hall in the village.

When Feng Qingge heard this, she sneered and stroked her long hair, “How is it cursed? It’s clearly those things that eat people.”

Although Feng Qingge didn’t live in the apocalyptic world, she heard about it from w.a.n.g Wenwen and knew that there were mutated beasts here as well as zombies.

This sort of situation was clearly because of those things; how could it be an illness or curse?

“I think so too. This village chief has a problem, and the problem lies in the ancestral hall.”

Qin Yi’s slim hand rapped against the table and her phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously.
