After staring at the old witch's house for a while, I was about to walk over. But when I got within ten or twenty meters of the house, I suddenly stopped.

  I stopped because I suddenly had some concerns, you know, the witch is absolutely not a simple role, although she took her husband away from home to do things, but does this mean that there is no danger in this house?

  The old witch can set up various traps outside the village, making it impossible for outsiders to return. Would she not guard her own nest? What if I just stepped in and triggered some kind of trap, and then I'd be done for! Dammit, I don't want to die without a fight! I haven't even married or had kids yet!

  After realizing this problem, I took another look at the witch's house and finally chose to retreat. I think it's not necessary for me to take this risk to go in, so I'd better go back and discuss with Han Feiyan again. After all, Han Feiyan is clever, and I still trust her on this point.

  After settling on this plan, I retreated and made my way to the south of the village, pretending to be crazy and silly. Taking advantage of no one noticing me, I quickly ran into Han Feiyan's courtyard and opened the door to her house, slipping inside.

  After I went in, I found that Han Feiyan was leaning on the chair with her eyes closed, as if she was meditating. At this moment, Han Feiyan was wearing a purple cheongsam, and one long leg was exposed along the slit of the cheongsam, looking particularly sexy and charming.

  "Hmph! You're living a pretty good life, aren't you?! At night, the little fresh meat sleeps soundly, and during the day, they enjoy themselves with their eyes closed. All the good things are taken by them. As for me, I'm always pretending to be crazy and stupid, and I don't even have a place to sleep!"

  As I suddenly spoke to her like that, Han Feiyan slowly opened her eyes. A pair of beautiful eyes lightly glanced at me and said: "What are you running in here for in the middle of the day? And why are you speaking so sourly? Who has wronged you?"

  She asked me like that, I replied in a bad mood: "What's with the sour look? Damn it! You don't know! Today, I almost exposed myself in front of that witch, that guy! That scared me half to death, you know?"

  "Almost exposed in front of the witch? What's going on? Why did you go provoke her for no reason?" Seeing me speak like this, Han Feiyan furrowed her brow, then she stood up and walked to my side, asking me with a tense face.

  When she asked me like that, I first sighed and then told her one by one about my encounter with the witch just now. In addition to this, I also told her about my gains over the past few days, including the conversations between the man who followed the witch and the village's informant woman.

  After I finished speaking, I found that Han Feiyan's expression had frozen. After a long pause, Han Feiyan replied to me: "I've never heard of any man who followed the witch being able to speak, let alone blink like a normal person. And I didn't expect there would be women in the village helping the witch monitor outsiders. If you hadn't spoken up today, I would have gone to my grave without knowing. As for what you said about the witch saying something about Li Changjuan, and some sharp cry and bloody night, I don't know anything about that. But I want to tell you, Li Changjuan is not just anyone, she's Li Xin's mother, also known as the foolish girl!"

  "Oh? So Li Changjuan is Ah Gu's biological mother? That means, why did the witch speak to me like that, could it be that Ah Gu knows something? What happened on that dark night that led to Ah Gu becoming an idiot?" I ventured to guess.

  "This is unknown, we only know that Sha Gu was driven mad because she encountered a perverted man on the night of her elopement, causing her to collapse mentally. As for the specific situation, none of us knows. However, just because of this sentence from Wu Po Po, you can guess so much? According to your speculation, I estimate that Wu Po Po inexplicably told you such things, wanting to test you! To be precise, she was testing Sha Gu!"

  "Want to try Sha Gu? Try what?" I asked in confusion.

  "Perhaps it was on a night when I tried to see if Ah Gu still remembered that blood-colored thing!"

  "Huh?" Han Feiyan's words suddenly made me realize something too.

  "Look at you! Still with that bewildered expression. All this is just our groundless speculation based on a single sentence from the witch, it's completely off the mark! But now isn't the time to talk about this, what I want to say is, you made a correct choice, I believe the witch's home isn't an easy place to get into, and you didn't recklessly barge in, that's a good thing. If you had any slip-up, our entire plan would be ruined! So no matter what, you can't have anything happen to you, your safety is above all else!"

  "Come on! My safety is more important than anything, what's the use of saying those things? The thing is, now I'm guessing that there must be something hidden in the witch's house, maybe in her house, I can find some clues about Han Jingjing's whereabouts! Now, the witch has left with her husband, this is a rare good opportunity, if we don't go in and investigate, who knows when the next chance will come!"

  Hearing me say that, Han Feiyan lowered her head and thought for a while before saying: "Let's do it this way, you don't have to worry about this matter for now, let me think of a solution myself. In any case, I won't let you take this risk. Tomorrow afternoon, when no one is around, come again, and at that time, I'll have something to entrust to you. Anyway, from what I know, the witch seems to be going on a trip to visit some sort of deity, so she probably won't return for a day or two."

  After hearing what Han Feiyan said, I thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement. To be honest, I really didn't know what little trick Han Feiyan was going to play again. But this woman's thinking is meticulous, I believe that listening to her shouldn't go wrong.

  Like this, I retreated from Han Feiyan's room again. As I was about to leave, Han Feiyan deliberately shouted loudly at the door: "Silly girl! Don't randomly enter other people's homes in the future, or you'll dirty the house!"

  ......

  After I came out of Hua Feiyan's room, I began to wander around the village again.

  Time flies like this, and it's dark in a while...

  After it got dark, I saw that stupid idiot going to look for Han Feiyan again. I don't know if Han Feiyan fed him blood the day before or if she made him infatuated with her, but in any case, he didn't go looking for another girl tonight and instead went to find Han Feiyan again!

  Look at that silly boy leaving again, I don't know what's wrong with me either, anyway my heart feels very uncomfortable. Then, I went to Tingting's home again, preparing to find Tingting something to eat.

  After I arrived at Tingting's home, I found that Tingting had just walked down from the wooden platform on the attic. Seeing me coming, Tingting greeted me and then said to me: "I went up to the platform and added some herbal powder to the basin, and also dripped a few drops of my own blood."

  "Do you do this every day?" I asked.

  "Hmm! Doing this every day is the rule set by the witch, no one dares to disobey. If you don't do it and get caught by the witch, you'll die a terrible death. There was once someone in the village who didn't persist in doing this every day, and in the end, they were afflicted with some kind of curse by the witch that made their body crawl with bugs from the inside out. They were eventually torn apart and killed by the bites of countless insects, it was a truly horrific sight."

  When Tingting told me this, I took a deep breath in surprise.

  After having a bite to eat at Tingting's place, I left. When I was leaving, Tingting gave me a resentful glance, that glance was as if I had betrayed her...

  After leaving Tingting's house, I fell asleep again in another place. After sleeping until dawn, I casually strolled around the village to kill time, and then sneaked back into Han Feiyan's house according to our previous agreement.

  After I entered her home, I said to Han Feiyan: "You asked me to come yesterday, what's the matter? Have you thought of a solution?"

  Seeing me ask like this, Han Feiyan smiled and said to me: "Today during the day, you don't need to do anything. You just need to follow that silly boy who was with me last night. Remember, don't follow him openly, but secretly. I believe that if you follow him, you will gain something."

  "Huh? What will I gain by following him?" I asked in complete confusion.

  "You don't have to worry about it, just follow him and that's the best thing you can do!"
