I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 381
381 Starting Ground (2)
The young man slowly knelt down as he watched the soil being filled into the pit bit by bit. He began to wail without tears.
Only when the young man’s figure became a little more transparent did he finally stop twitching and stand up again.
“Do you need a while more?” Jiang Beiran asked the young man.
“No, thank you, thank you.”The young man bowed to Jiang Beiran, then turned to Meng Sipei and bowed.
After bowing, the young man continued to recall,””Ever since that peddler lived in our village, the villagers ‘lives became better and better. Not only did they not have to go hungry, but they could also save up for winter rations. However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, Aunt Liao suddenly fell ill. Her illness was very serious. Her body alternated between cold and hot.”
!!
“In the end, it was the peddler who used his ancestral secret recipe to save Aunt Liao. Moreover, the Aunt Liao who was saved was in better health than before.”
“From then on, everyone’s admiration for that peddler reached its peak. No matter how big or small the matter was, they would look for him to discuss it. Gradually… Everyone changed. We no longer went fishing. Instead, we gathered in front of the peddler’s hut every day and kowtowed three times and nine times, shouting for the blessing of the Great Immortal, because the peddler told us that this way, we would be able to ensure that we would have enough food and clothing for the next year, and that we would never get sick again.”
” Just like that, it went on until winter. Everyone had already eaten up all the food they had stored. With an empty stomach, they could only continue to gather around the peddler’s hut and continue to pray. Moreover, they were far more devout than before. This was because every time they prayed, the peddler would give us a kind of powdered thing to eat. He said that this was an immortal medicine that would allow us to live a long and healthy life.”
” We didn’t doubt it at all. After eating all the powder, we realized that we weren’t hungry anymore. Even our spirits were much better.”
” As a result, no one went fishing or farmed. All the villagers had to do every day was pray and eat the powder. Until one day, the peddler suddenly took out disgusting bugs and told us that they were a gift from the Great Immortal. Only by eating the bugs could one become the most devout believer.”
“This sentence stimulated everyone. Everyone scrambled to eat the worm, including me and my wife…Just as we thought that the miracle would befall us, Third Uncle Qi suddenly vomited a large pool of blood and his body started to twist strangely.”
“Everyone was terrified, but the peddler told us that it was because Third Uncle Qi was not sincere enough, so he was punished by the Great Immortal. Only those who were not punished could finally ascend to bliss and enjoy eternal glory and wealth.”
“No one doubted the peddler’s words. The villagers who didn’t die were all dancing happily for passing the test of the Great Immortal. No one cared about Third Uncle Qi’s corpse at all.”
” However, no one expected that Third Uncle Qi’s death was just the beginning. That night, more people died in various strange ways. Some shouted that it was hot and rushed into the sea, never coming back. Some shouted that they were thirsty and poured water into their mouths. In the end, they stuffed themselves to death. Some cried that they were itchy and scratched their bodies desperately. In the end, they did not stop even after scratching their skin…”
“My wife is also crazy…She shouted that it was cold as she poured boiling water on herself. I wanted to stop her, but her strength became so strong that I couldn’t hold her at all.”
“In the end, my wife was scalded to death by boiling water. Before she died, she stared at me as if asking me why I didn’t save her…I hugged her corpse and cried for a long time until I saw a red bug crawl out of her body. I knew it. It was a gift from the peddler…”
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran realized that these villagers must have been planted with all kinds of voodoo and became the so-called peddler’s test subjects.
As for the previous series of actions, it seemed to be collecting their power of faith, and this power of faith was usually used to prepare for some kind of sacrifice.
“What happened after that?” Jiang Beiran asked the young man who had suddenly fallen silent.
“I didn’t die…” The young man whispered,” I was the only one who survived in the village. At this time, the peddler came in. He smiled and congratulated me for passing the Great Immortal’s test and becoming a believer.”
“F * ck those believers! I grabbed the peddler tightly and asked him why he wanted to kill everyone! Why?”
“The peddler’s expression changed when he heard that. He grabbed my hair and lifted me up. He used an expression that I had never seen before to call me an ant! It’s your honor to be chosen by the Great Immortal! You should be happy, smile! Laugh!”
“I didn’t smile. He used his finger to cut open my face and drew a smile on my face.”
“That’s much better. I’ll bring you to see the Great Immortal now. Later on, I was brought to the underground of his house. I never knew that there was such a place in the village. I quickly threw disgusting eggs everywhere. Soon, I was tied to a shelf by him. Behind…I can’t remember anything.”
“Do you still remember where he took you?”
“His house.”
“Can you take me there?”
The young man nodded and walked toward a small house. He quietly waved at Meng Sipei, signaling her to follow behind Jiang Beiran and the young man into a wooden house.
“This is the house that everyone built together.”
“After that, he stuffed himself to death. Someone shouted that it was itchy and scratched his body desperately. In the end, he scratched his skin until it was torn and did not stop…”
“My wife is also crazy…She shouted that it was cold as she poured boiling water on herself. I wanted to stop her, but her strength became so strong that I couldn’t hold her at all.”

He walked into a wooden house in the middle of the island.
