Do not sleep

"This field is owned, right? Is it okay to pick other people's peppers?" Akashi/National Bank lying on the cart beside him said lazily.

"The peppers I pick are almost ripe and peeling. These peppers can't be sold for money, so there is no problem." Shaoan said.

This is also a customary rule in Middle-earth countries.

There are many chefs traveling around in Middle-earth at this time, and not everyone has cash on them all the time.

Sometimes when the pockets are shy, traveling chefs can also pick some worthless ingredients in other people's fields, and use their own cooking skills to make the ingredients shine again.

Many famous chefs in Middle-earth countries have left some legends in different regional villages because of this convention.

It's also a legendary story.

So Shao'an's behavior is actually very normal in the middle-earth countries of this era.

There is indeed a small village near the field, as Shao An said. After Shao An communicated with the village chief for a while, the village chief agreed that Shao An could use the stove in the village to cook.

The village chief also promised that as long as the food cooked by Shaoan satisfies the villagers, he would give them some dry food and travel expenses.

This village near Shencheng is not big, but due to the blessings of successive years of harvest, although the village is not considered rich, it is rich in food materials.

There are also many traveling chefs who pass by this village.

So the village built a multifunctional hearth with bricks and built a strong shed to shelter from the wind and rain, which is specially used to show the traveling chefs their skills.

There were also several benches, tables and chairs in the shed. After being brought into the shed by the village chief’s daughter Linghua, Akashi/National Bank sat on a long bench and lay weakly on one of the square tables. Next to him, the little fox was also lying on that table.

Then stay still.

The ingredients are sent by the villagers spontaneously to the traveling chefs, and it is a custom to taste the craftsmanship of the traveling chefs only after sending the ingredients.

Shaoan is now preparing the village's lunch in a shed that is open on all sides with the ingredients sent by the villagers.

"Obviously in the last village, the villagers would be frightened and run away when they saw Shaoan's ferocious face." Foxosuke squatted next to Shaoan's chopping board and asked Shaoan strangely.

"Why aren't the villagers in this village afraid of you, Shao'an?"

"Because I've been here before." Shaoan said while holding a kitchen knife on the chopping board and chopping vegetables quickly.

"This village is the closest to Shencheng, so the villagers are more knowledgeable and courageous than remote villages."

When Shao An passed by this village many years ago, he was just as penniless as he is now.

It was the same old village chief who took in Shao An. After knowing that Shao An was a traveling chef, he let Shao An be in charge of the three meals of the villagers just like now.

In return, the village chief will give Shaoan some dry food and travel expenses.

"Wow, don't I have money then?" Wu Hutui, who moved a small bench and sat beside the stove, blinked his eyes while watching Shao An's work.

When Shao An heard this, the hand that chopped the radish paused, and said, "The dry food and travel expenses are for me."

What does it have to do with Wuhu Tui, a dead brat!

"Aren't your things mine?" Wu Hu retreated, shaking out a piece of paper, and said confidently.

"It's written in the contract."

"I haven't seen that contract at all." Shaoan's head burst into veins while washing the vegetables.

"But you have already signed this contract." Wu Hu Tui said with a smile.

"You are buying and selling by force." Shao An's eyes were fierce.

"I'm teaching you to repay your kindness with gratitude. I saved your life." Wu Hu Tui snorted, and suddenly Shao An was stunned by a sentence.

"Otherwise, you will be a ghost just like the village head's daughter." Wu Hu said without changing his face.

"..." Shao An.

what? !

The kitchen knife in Shaoan's hand "snapped" and fell to the ground without his grip.

A middle-aged woman passing by the shed saw how Shao An had missed, and shouted "Oh Amitabha" in her mouth, and said, "Young man, be careful not to cut yourself."

"It's okay, thank you." Shao Anqiang said calmly.

After passing by the shed and waiting for the village women to leave, Shao An stared at Wu Hutui and said sharply, "What are you talking about?!"

"How could Linghua be a ghost? I often see her in the daytime!" Shaoan began to chop meat on the chopping board again in order to hide his voice that would be raised unconsciously in surprise.

Linghua is the name of the village chief's daughter.

Several years ago, when Shao An was penniless and wandering in this village, he was taken in by the village chief and took care of him a lot.

The girl who led the Five Tigers just now is Linghua.

Now Wu Hu retreated and said directly that the kind girl was not human.

You are not human!

Oh, no, Wuhu Tui is not a human being.

"..." Shao An.

"What does this have to do with coming out during the day, who said ghosts can't appear during the day." Wu Hutui said while lying on the stove, pouting.

"Shao'an, are you stupid for cooking? Ghosts can't appear during the day."

"...Is there any difference?" Honosuke, who was froze by Wu Hutui's shocking words just now, took a few steps back and stood on the edge of the stove, asking cautiously.

"Aren't ghosts and ghosts similar?"

Anyway, they are all things that will appear after human death. In terms of scariness, the two are evenly divided.

"Oh my god, there's a lot of difference between a ghost and a ghost, okay?" Five tigers *knowledgeable* retreated and went online exclaiming.

The five tigers sat back on the small bench, stretched out a hand and shook their heads and explained, "The biggest difference is that ghosts cannot be reincarnated, but ghosts can."

"...so?" Foxnosuke said.

"That girl named Linghua is a ghost that can be reincarnated, but she is so angry now that she looks so much like a living person." Wu Hu Tui said, leaning on the stove and propping his head.

"Isn't it a good thing to be angry, it means that she can live a normal life like a living person." Shao An said after a pause.

Although at first he was taken aback by the five tigers retreating, but later Shao An thought about it, in fact, sometimes there is no difference between the living and the dead.

"It's a good thing for a living person to be angry, but for a dead person to be angry, he will die." Wu Hu retreated and explained with puffed up cheeks.

"If she doesn't reincarnate again, she will be wiped out."

"what!?"

****

The night was deep, and the moaning of grass insects and the uneasy kicking of horses could be heard outside the house, and the moonlight peeking into the house looked particularly pale.

In the guest room of the village head's old man's house, Shao'an, Akashi/National Bank, Fox Nosuke, Five Tigers and Little Fox lined up, sleeping soundly on the bed.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up from nowhere, and the closed wooden door made rattling noises one after another.

Akashi/National Bank turned over sleepily and continued to sleep, the room was very quiet.

After a while, Wu Hutui was woken up by the annoying voice, rubbed his eyes and got up and was about to close the wooden door tightly.

Unexpectedly, they suddenly found a white shadow flashing outside the door, the five tigers retreated and sniffed, and the Yigao boldly picked up the knife on his body and rushed out.

Bai Ying led the five tigers back to the village head's house not far away, stopped, and the five tigers retreated to see Bai Ying's appearance clearly.

"Ah, aren't you the village chief's daughter?" Wu Hu Tui blinked his eyes, put his index finger on his lower lip as if thinking, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said.

"Linghua, right? Shaoan said that's your name."

Hearing this, Linghua turned around slowly and looked at Wu Hutui, who was only about 12 years old.

The appearance of the woman named Linghua floating in the air without landing on the ground at this time is different from the appearance of the little human lady in the daytime.

Linghua asked in an ethereal voice, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"I'm not human."

"What a coincidence, I'm not human either." Five Tigers shrugged and asked.

"Why did you lure me out?"

"During the day, Shao'an looked at me a little strangely." Linghua smiled, looked down at Wuhu's small round eyes, and said.

"So that's the case, I really found something."

"Did you realize you're a ghost and you're about to lose your wits?" Wu Hu retreated and blinked.

"You really know a lot." Linghua's smile remained unchanged.

"No way, who made me so good, I always know too much." Wuhu Tui spread his hands helplessly.

What if he is smart and cute? It's not his fault.

"...At first I thought it was the arrival of an old friend, but seeing your temperament, I realized that I was wrong." A faint light flashed in Linghua's eyes, and she asked Wu Hu back.

"I don't know where your hometown is, little brother. Do you have brothers and sisters at home?"

"Brothers and sisters?" Wu Hutui widened his eyes in surprise, rolled his eyes as if thinking of something, and said with a smile.

"That's too many, my brothers'sisters' combined can't count."

In the first phase, they are brothers, and Ranto Shiro is also a sister.

If it is calculated according to the sword Fusangshen of Awataguchi on the government side of the time, how can it be calculated?

"You just told me about your old friend. Have you met one of my brothers and sisters?" Wu Hu asked with his head tilted and his big eyes blinking innocently.

"What did your old man look like, or do you know his name?"

"I don't know his name." Linghua was still floating in the air, but her eyes became deep and long at this moment, staring into the distance blankly.

It seems to be recalling an unforgettable memory, and it seems to have fallen into a dreamlike past.

It seemed that after waiting for a long time, Linghua finally came back to his senses when the five tigers retreated bored and changed to standing cross-legged.

"I don't know their names." Linghua said repeatedly, but there seemed to be an old friend in the words, she said.

"One of them looks almost exactly like you."

"There is another one, I don't know his surname, I only know his name is Yaoyan."
