I feed the worms with my body, I am the evil demon

A small town surrounded by mountains.

Every spring, a large number of swallows come from the south, so the town is named "Swallow Town".

However, the town is far away from the downtown and the big city, and it seems very quiet and peaceful.

A pair of feet wearing straw sandals stepped on the evening afterglow, standing under the archway of the town.

The curling smoke rose from the chimneys of every household, and the boy stood under the archway for a long time without moving.

After a long time, the breeze blew a strand of hair on his forehead. The boy tightened the huge backpack behind him and lifted up most of his face wrapped in a piece of gray coarse cloth.

The tall and thin body was wrapped tightly in gray linen clothes. The boy lowered his head and stepped into the town.

…

"Auntie Li, what delicious food did you cook today?"

"Well, my girl brought it back from the city. I don't know it, I just know it's expensive, so I have to try it."

Several elderly men and women squatted in front of the door. One of them tilted her bowl slightly for people to see. Although it was dark, you could still see the smug smile on her face.

People in the town have a habit of eating cooked food and squatting at the door.

They chatted while eating, and they could eat a bowl of rice for a long time.

As for what they talked about, it was nothing more than which daughter-in-law was unfaithful to her husband, which man knocked on the widow's door at night, etc., but today's topic was different.

A woman held a bowl and lowered her voice, "Have you heard that Xiao Chunzi from Liumu Lane died a few days ago? It was a tragic death."

"I heard about it too. Why are there so many deaths this year? And that butcher Zhang has been missing for a long time, and the government can't do anything about it."

"Our remote place is so far away that the government can't reach it. Do you think it's haunted?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's creepy. I guess butcher Zhang offended someone. With his temper, any dog ​​passing by will be kicked. He deserves it."

"That's true."

From a distance, Gu Xiu could hear the noise in the distance. He had long been accustomed to it and quickened his pace. When he approached, all the noise stopped abruptly.

When several people saw the person coming, they almost turned their bodies to protect the bowls and chopsticks at the same time, as if they had encountered the plague god.

Gu Xiu ignored them and walked over quickly.

When Gu Xiu left, several people whispered.

"Look, that bastard from the Gu family is so unlucky."

"That's right, I can run into him even when I'm eating, it's disgusting."

At this time, a young woman held a bowl with a curious look on her face.

"Auntie, what's wrong with that guy? Are you so scared?"

"Oh, Xia girl, you just got married and didn't know that this little bastard is the son of Gu Xiucai from Zhanshui Lane."

"Yes, you see he is wrapped up tightly, but he doesn't dare to show his face, because..."

"Why? Tell me quickly, it's so urgent." The young woman didn't even bother to eat, and stared at the ladies with a pair of eyes.

The lady paused, looked at the bowl in her hand again, and finally put the bowl down and ran to the young woman, whispering.

"I'm telling you, that kid is a demon. You know, a demon is a demon in the legend that does all kinds of evil and eats people's hearts and livers. When he was born, he scared the midwife to death."

"Oh my God! How ugly is he?" The young woman patted her bulging chest with her hand, and unconsciously put down the bowl in her other hand.

"It's not because of ugliness, it's... oh... it's disgusting to think about it."

Under the young woman's resentful eyes, another person quickly took over the conversation.

"He was covered with bugs all over his body, even half of his face. It is said that when Gu Xiucai saw it for the first time, he was so scared that he wet his pants on the spot and wanted to chop the bastard with a kitchen knife."

"But he was stopped by someone later. You don't know that his mother is even more worthless. I heard that she used to be a rich lady in a big city, but she was a slutty fox. She was tricked by Gu Xiucai and came to our mountain valley."

"To give birth to such a thing, I think she must have been fooling around with someone. It's hard to say whether it's Gu Xiucai's child."

"Who says it's not? This dead woman is also lucky to give birth to that bastard After the seeding, they had another son and a daughter. It should be said that Gu Yao and Gu Cai are really amazing. "

"You know Gu Yao, he is a famous scholar in our ten miles and eight villages, and he is more handsome than his father. I heard that he will go to the government to take an exam next year... Hey... Anyway, he will take the exam to become a high-ranking official."

"Which girl in our town doesn't like him? Even Mr. Fu wants to marry his eldest daughter to him. That girl Gu Cai is even more amazing. She got the true teachings of her bitch mother. She has a figure that makes those stinky men unable to walk before she grows up."

The crowd talked louder and louder, and saliva was sprayed everywhere.

Although they had walked far away, Gu Xiu could still hear the discussion behind him. He stopped and raised his head slightly, revealing half of his pale face that was not covered.

One corner of his mouth had been grinning without knowing when.

He was laughing, and he didn't know whether it was self-mockery or ridicule.

The Gu family does not have a good reputation in Yanlai Town, first because of Gu Xiu, and second because of his romantic scholar father. If it weren't for the title of scholar, he would have been beaten to death by the men of women's families.

Just as Gu Xiu was stunned, a beautiful woman stood in front of the door of a magnificent house next to him.

The woman was 28 years old, wearing a light and elegant silk dress, smiling at Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu, who had raised his head, suddenly lowered his face and was about to leave.

"Little brother Gu, wait a minute."

Hearing this, Gu Xiu froze on the spot. He didn't quite understand why the third lady of the Li family would talk to him when the people in the town looked at him like a rat crossing the street.

Although the Li family is not as wealthy as Fu Yuanwai in the town, they are still quite wealthy. The last time Gu Xiu passed by Li's house, he was insulted by the nurse guard.

I heard that the third young lady of the Li family was not favored by Mr. Li because of her mother, but she would not be reduced to talking to her like this.

It only took a moment. Gu Xiu thought a lot but still couldn't figure out the reason.

He lowered his head, perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice seemed a little hoarse.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Yuying's watery almond-shaped eyes stared at the basket behind Gu Xiu's back, a little embarrassed, "Can you sell me that flower?"

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react.

He reached out to the basket on his back and grabbed a few salvia plants, then hesitated for a moment and placed them on the ground.

"This is the herbal medicine called Salvia miltiorrhiza, which can be found everywhere on the mountain."

"Here you go." Li Yuying just took out her purse and looked up when she saw Gu Xiu had walked away.

Bending down to pick up the salvia flower, Li Yuying put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. Her big eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.

Turning to look at Gu Xiu's leaving figure, Li Yuying gently shook her head. She clearly saw just now that Gu Xiu wanted to hand it to her, but stopped for just a moment and finally placed it on the stone steps.

"What a poor guy."

When the door of Li Mansion was closed, Li Yuying did not notice that in the only restaurant in the town not far away, there were several young men in brocade clothes who had been observing for a long time.

"The third young lady of the Li family is quite handsome, but it's a pity..."

"What's the pity? Is Mr. Fu interested in her? Just ask your old man to be a concubine. I guess Li Jinrong won't say anything."

"That's right, Li Yuying's mother put a big hat on Li Jinrong. The so-called third lady of the Li family is worse than a maid now."

The man called Mr. Fu was about twenty years old, with slender eyes that narrowed into slits when he smiled. He was extremely tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist.

He took a sip of wine and sneered: "A bitch who can flirt with that bastard still needs me to propose marriage. It's a joke."

Several people agreed upon hearing this.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"How about..." A short young man chuckled.

"Huh? Why not?" Mr. Fu frowned and saw the short young man leaning into his ear.

Not sure what he heard, Mr. Fu clapped his hands and laughed.

"good!"

…

"Okay, okay."

"Little brat, you won't come back until dark again. Why don't you die on the mountain?"

"Yes, mother, he is going to starve us to death. Dad and brother went to Fu Yuan's wife's house to drink and eat meat. Unfortunately, we have to wait for him to come back to cook."

As soon as I put down my backpack, two harsh and harsh voices came over me.

Gu Xiu was speechless and walked to the kitchen alone to light a fire and cook.

Although they were disgusted and disgusted, they still had to wait for him to come back to cook. The two of them were already too lazy to form.

Gu Xiu sat in front of the earthen stove, the firelight flickering in his eyes.

I remember that my mother, Shen Yulan, was not like this in the past. She was a lady who was knowledgeable and courteous. It's just that I don't know when I would curse as often as they did.

Maybe it's because the romantic dad has stayed away from the house, or maybe it's because he has been getting along with his sister who has a good skin but a snake heart.

But it didn't matter anymore, Gu Xiu was used to it.

"Hey, you should wrap your hands and don't touch them, or I'll ask dad to beat you to death."

Gu Cai stood in front of the kitchen door, with a look of disgust on her delicate and charming little face.

Seeing that Gu Xiu was silent, she stamped her feet and went to Shen Yulan to complain.

Sure enough, Shen Yulan's voice came from the house after a while, a sharp and almost hysterical curse that couldn't even be covered by the crackling sound of firewood in front of her.

"Why don't you die!"

"I should have strangled you to death in the first place."

Words like these come easily.

Gu Xiu's eyes were as calm as water, and he was not bothered by these insults at all. He put the prepared meal on the table, turned back to the kitchen and ate a few bites of the leftover food.

With the food in the room, the sound gradually became quieter.
