The moment everyone saw this corpse, they instantly thought of Gu Wuji who was nowhere to be seen right from the start.
The few players at the back had almost cried out in fright. Qi Yunxiu immediately looked cold, and reached out his hand with the intention of removing the gauze on his face. An unprecedented tyrannical feeling surged inside him, the prickling pain in his eyes constantly intensified, muddling his consciousness for a moment, with only the desire to kill everyone here.
How could Gu Wuji die here? He is the person who least deserves to die here!
Since he’s dead, then what reason do all these people here have to live?!
But it was at this moment, when Gu Wuji’s voice suddenly sounded from behind them, “What’s the matter? What’s wrong with all of you?”
Qi Yunxiu became stock-still. He turned around and looked at Gu Wuji in disbelief, while the murderous intent surrounding him completely dissipated at once.
“Your alright……”
The others also sighed in relief, they really didn’t want to see Gu Wuji’s corpse.
The village chief and village chief’s wife were equally somewhat startled as well.
“Of course I’m alright.” Facing everyone’s varied expression, Gu Wuji tugged the old woman behind him, “I just went to help this ma’am with her work. I came over after seeing a commotion here. So what happened here?”
“Nothing much. Someone just died here, that’s all.” Qi Yunxiu replied in a relieved tone.
Other players: “……” Although it’s really good that nothing happened to Gu Wuji, but can you also not speak in such a lighthearted way like it was just some ant that died here!?
The village chief grabbed his wife, and intimidatingly said, “What did you say had happened here?”
The village chief’s wife replied with fear and trepidation: “Big Zhu suddenly rushed in, then slapped me before rushing straight in. I also have no idea what had happened…… I don’t know how he died!”
“It was actually him.”
The village chief couldn’t help but be somewhat regretful that he hadn’t ordered anyone to watch over that guy before. He turned to look around inside the room, and saw that everything seems normal. That guy, Big Zhu had presumably saw the stone and touched it thinking that it was valuable, which was how he ended up this way.
However, the village chief suspiciously looked at Gu Wuji once again, “Sun Shi, why did you stay out so long without returning? Aren’t you worried of the relationship between you and your companions?”
Qi Yuxiu felt dissatisfied with others questioning Gu Wuji, and was even more worried of Gu Wuji exposing something, that he coldly inserted: “What are you questioning of? With me around, what’s there for Sun Shi to worry about in our relationship?”
The other players couldn’t help but be struck dumb. What kind of relationship does the two of you have? Eh, why does this always sound a little weird?……
Gu Wuji calmly stated: “That’s right. I naturally trust him in accordance to our relationship. Besides, I too, wanted to return as quick as possible. But I met this troubled ma’am along the way, so how can I not help?”
Of course Gu Wuji thinks that his relationship with Qi Yunxiu were of close friends.
A short while after Da Zhu’s death, that stone had also returned to normal. Gu Wuji summoned up his courage and went out, then nimbly flipped over the wall.
Thanks to him helping a lot of the elderly before coming over to the village chief’s house, added on to the fact that the elderly wasn’t very attentive as well, so she didn’t notice him leaving at all, this was the reason why she can attest for Gu Wuji now.
The old woman at the side even looked at Gu Wuji with appreciation, then told the village chief: “This young man is really nice. He had truly helped me very much, and is much more reliable than the youngster in the village. I think you, the village chief should let those youngsters learn from others.”
Since Gu Wuji was originally a person who does good deeds everyday, the village chief had also no longer suspected him much, and quickly said: “I’m really sorry, all of you must have been startled in seeing such a scene, right?…… This is a matter in our village, you should head back first, I will definitely make it up to you tomorrow.”
A person had truly died, but the village chief’s tone made this appear like this was just an ordinary joke, as he didn’t even bother to tell the players not to publicize the matter.
The ceremony was just around the corner after all. So, he no longer even bothered to make any more excuses. These people were going to die soon anyway.
Gu Wuji and the others nodded. When they were about to leave, the village chief said again, “You are still welcome to participate in tomorrow’s ceremony. You have to come!”
Everyone felt relieved when they went out.
Qi Yunxiu looked at Gu Wuji deeply, and didn’t dare shift his gaze away, as if worried that just a bit of inattentiveness, he would really meet some sort of accident.
The other players were more or less used to it. They were already aware of Qi Yunxiu being a gay guy, okay! They couldn’t do anything anyway.
However, Qi Yunxiu, this infamous, cold-hearted team destroyer and evil star, unexpectedly had this side as well, making them feel a very strong sense of contrast.
The old woman looked at them, then suddenly grabbed Gu Wuji’s sleeve and said with a serious expression, “You have to be careful.”
“What’s the matter ma’am?” Gu Wuji looked over with a bit of confusion.
“A man being with another man is a violation of nature. It’s best for you to not to be in contact with that man anymore.” The old woman said.
The others also knew that this village was so backward. Moreover, this woman was already so old, so it was very normal for her not to understand the relationship between same sex. Thus, they didn’t dwell too much about this matter.
In fact, as players in this game, most of them were very casual about their sexual orientation. After all, their lives may be lost at any time. So, who cares whether they like men or women?
Qi Yunxiu felt very angry upon having heard this, and coldly glared at the other. But the other was an old woman, so he decided not to care about her anymore.
Gu Wuji nodded, “Your reminder is very well appreciated. But the relationship between I and that person are nothing more but friends. We have no other relationships, speaking like this might cause him trouble.”
Everyone felt that Gu Wuji’s words were actually quite considerate, and might have dealt a greater blow upon Qi Yunxiu.
The old woman didn’t believe Gu Wuji’s words at all. After all, she was able to clearly see Qi Yunxiu’s pointed gaze, and only dull-witted Gu Wuji was unable to notice this.
But the words the old woman said afterwards gave everyone a shock.
“You must take this matter seriously. That son of the village chief was one as well. If it wasn’t because he likes men, then how could he have such an accident? This must be the punishment from the mountain god! So you, young people must listen to my words.”
It was only at this moment did Gu Wuji suddenly realize that since the start, probably because of constantly encountering female ghosts, he never paid any attention to the village chief’s so.
The village chief’s son was obviously also an important figure during the first ever ghost marriage. Maybe, there might still be some things that could be investigate from his angle.
