As a supporting actress, she doesn’t follow the plot

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, the old woman tremblingly opened the door.

When I saw a few people safe and sound in the corridor, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Auntie, the things from last night..."

The old woman quickly waved her hand to stop a few people from continuing, "Young people should be in awe, but they must not talk nonsense and get burned."

After saying that, she turned around and went to the kitchen to cook wild vegetables.

Sihan yawned: "Senior sister, must we eradicate this monster?"

"The ferocious beast is gluttonous."

Gu Yixin corrected, then looked in the direction where the old woman was going.

Several people brought dry food and gave some to the old woman, and then asked for more details.

The old woman held the dry food and burst into tears of gratitude, her hands trembling slightly: "Are you really those who cultivate immortality?"

"Yes, there is something unfair here, and we want to know more about it."

The old woman's eyes lit up: "Then... can you catch the monster?"

"I can't guarantee it, but I'll try my best."

Gu Yixin never liked making empty promises, and that was all he could do.

It was precisely because of this sentence that the old woman thought for a long time. While eating solid food to fill her stomach, she slowly talked about what happened three years ago.

The peace in Qiushui Town was broken three years ago. One night, a red light bloomed in the distant mountains and forests, which lasted until dawn before returning to normal.

However, from this time on, the food in the village gradually disappeared.

At first everyone thought it was a thief who was at work. They called the police, kept watch, and set traps, but still found nothing.

More and more food was lost. Officials came several times but found nothing, so the matter was dropped.

Since official duties didn't work, they had to rely on themselves. The younger generation began to gather food in warehouses and keep vigil to prevent such things from happening again.

In the middle of the night, I fell asleep for some reason, and when I woke up the next day, the food was gone.

The people in Qiushui Town complained endlessly, and later it turned into rumors that there were food-eating monsters.

Finally one night, a few young people squatted in the distance and saw clearly what was stealing food.

To be precise, it's not a human being.

"This thing has the body of a sheep and the face of a human. The key eyes are still in the armpits. The tiger's teeth and hands are the same as those of humans..."

After the old woman's description, Gu Yixin and the nine-tailed fox were even more certain that they were Taotie.

"How many people are there in Qiushui Town today?"

The old woman squinted her eyes and thought for a while: "There are probably only a dozen or so people. What can we do if we don't run for our lives?"

"Then aunt, why don't you run?"

Si Han found it strange that the ants were still living an ignoble existence, but the old woman never thought of leaving Qiushui Town.

"Where can I run at my age? Let's just muddle along..."

Gu Yixin raised his eyebrows and expressed his understanding of the old woman's remarks.

"Mom, can you tell us where the glowing forest is?"

The old woman raised her head and pondered for a moment: "Ten miles further along Qiushui Town, there is a mountain called Wutong Forest. That is where the red light shines."

"Thank you."

Several people were preparing to go to Wutong Forest to check the situation, but the old woman gave many warnings and told them to come back before nightfall.

After watching a few people leave, he turned around and walked to the courtyard to sit down.

The sun was shining on her body, and the breeze was blowing the hem of her clothes.

"Do you think so?"

Last night, I didn't have time to track him. I only saw one eye, and the other party was so frightened that he ran away.

Gu Yixin thought for a long time: "I remember that Taotie seems to be a non-cannibal valley."
