Chapter 81: Scaring People to Death

“Do you all really think that it tastes good?”

Lu Sheng asked with uncertainty.

She had tasted the meat before, and it was indeed delicious. However, as the saying goes, it was difficult to cater for all tastes. What she was satisfied with did not mean that others would be satisfied too.

“Okay!”

Liang Ping replied, “Soft but not mushy, fat but not greasy. This is the first time I’ve eaten such delicious pork belly.”

He had been studying for two years. Although he looked unkempt, his words were scholarly.

Aunt Yu and Mdm Chen agreed. One could tell that they really liked the food.

“That’s good!”

Lu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief.

She was someone who wanted to open a restaurant. If the food she made was not to everyone’s liking, she would have to close her doors sooner or later.

——

The weather tonight was colder than usual.

Lu Sheng was covered with a thick blanket, but she still felt cold.

Afraid that the two children would catch a cold, she even went to check on them in the next room in the middle of the night. She only retreated when she saw that they were sound asleep under the thick blanket.

She was about to enter the house when she heard a faint voice coming from outside the wall.

She listened closely and realized that some people were speaking in a low voice. Furthermore, it seemed like they were all men.

What were they doing outside her wall at this hour?

Lu Sheng frowned and laughed coldly.

She took out a talisman and tore it open, revealing a few black clouds.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. Lu Sheng shuddered and instructed, “Go and guard the wall. If anyone dares to come in, show yourselves. Scare them to death.”

The black clouds agreed excitedly and floated to the wall to guard it.

Outside, Lu Chuan and a man had carried a wooden ladder and placed it against the wall of Lu Sheng’s house.

A few men followed behind them.

“Watch your steps. Don’t alert the people next door.”

Everyone in the village knew that Lu Sheng had a good relationship with the Liang family.

Moreover, Li Zheng was protective of Lu Sheng. If Liang Ping and Li Zheng were alerted and they found out that he had collaborated with an outsider to steal Lu Sheng’s items, he would definitely have to bear the consequences.

Lu Chuan turned his head and instructed the other men in a low voice, “After we enter, one of you will light the incense and the other will bring the horse away. I saw the horse today. It’s definitely not cheap. You have to spend at least a hundred taels to buy it at the horse market. I’ll go and steal those rolls of cloth.”

One could tell that only a good person could afford to wear those rolls of cloth. It would be a waste for Lu Ran to wear them. He might as well sell them so that he could exchange them for some money to buy alcohol.

The burly man holding the knockout drops climbed up the wooden ladder impatiently. He heard from Lu Chuan that Lu Sheng was exceptionally beautiful, thus his idea was not as simple as just stealing money.

Lu Chuan said that he wanted to sell Lu Sheng to a brothel. However, he felt that if Lu Sheng’s beauty was as amazing as Lu Chuan had said, she would definitely not fetch a good price if she was sold to a brothel.

They should send her to the Joy Fragrance Court. That was the largest brothel in Huang Yang Town.

However, just when he was climbing the wall, a black figure appeared in front of him.

The black figure looked like a human. It had a nose and eyes, but they were faintly discernible.

“Jiejie—”

An eerie smile formed suddenly. The burly man’s scalp turned numb, and his eyes widened.

“What are you doing? Hurry up!”

The people below kept urging him.

The burly man stared at the black figure in front of him and shuddered. Suddenly, he yelled, “Ghost! Ghost!”

As he was too terrified, he missed his footing and fell off the wooden ladder.

The people below did not expect him to fall so suddenly. They could not dodge in time and became his meat cushion.
