Raw Pork Blood Feast 1 (Revised) The next day, Chen Jin woke up early. Firstly, to avoid Wu Zeng’s persistent attempts to cling to him, and secondly, to get some work done before his supervisor arrived. He couldn't afford to waste time. The border region is predominantly inhabited by ethnic minorities, but within the same village, Han people and minorities usually live in separate areas. Chen Jin’s first target was the You ethnic group's settlement on the east side of the village. Before heading…-

Deep in the Forest “What are the growth habits of the Duojun mushroom? Does it have a specific location in the forest? If I search randomly without a clue, I’m afraid it will be a waste of time.” Chen Jin took the green pill from Bai Lao San’s hand, his thumb rubbing the uneven texture on the surface of the pill—the roughness characteristic of a handmade product. The closer he got, the more pronounced the strange herbal scent became. Dodder seed. Could it be related to the previous grass…

Near-Death Plea for Treatment “Your face was uglier just now than the last time you ate raw meat.” Wu Zeng rested his chin on Chen Jin’s shoulder, asking tiredly, “What, worried about me?” “How do you still have the mind to joke like this?” Chen Jin couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch the area behind Wu Zeng’s ear. The subtle squirming of the fungal filaments beneath his fingertip made his stomach clench. A rustling sound came from the back of Wu Zeng’s head; the thread-like…

A Surge of Jealousy “A Qing isn’t a local?” Wu Zeng lay flat on his spread-out blanket, his hair still damp from his shower. His index finger tapped lightly on the blanket, his words sounding somewhat distracted. “A border village, it’s not surprising.” “If she happens to be from Sha Country, that’s too much of a coincidence.” Chen Jin described everything he had seen and heard at Aunt Jiu’s house, but seeing Wu Zeng in front of him didn’t seem to care much, Chen Jin kicked his…

The Card Game Resumes Dusk settled over the streets of Mengle Village. By the time the two returned to the entrance of the Guesthouse, the surroundings were already shrouded in darkness. The motorcycle repair shop had long since closed, with only the overhead streetlamp casting a faint, yellowish light. Mosquitoes danced around the light source, celebrating the final moments of their lives. “Did you hear?” A few Elder Sisters, their heads wrapped in cloth scarves, sat leaning against the repair shop…

The Legend of the Qing Girl Chen Jin was unsure what Aunt San Rong’s intentions were. The old woman had a strange temper, so Chen Jin moved cautiously, his muscles tight beneath his clothes. He kept a poker face, ready to counter any sudden malicious action from the old woman. As he approached Aunt San Rong, her cloudy gray eyes suddenly trembled. Her hunched body sprang up like a machine freshly oiled. She swung her cane with one hand, her expression fierce, completely unlike a frail, elderly…

Old Woman of Changlin “Since we’ve managed to contact Xiao Gang, we won’t bother you any longer.” Wu Zeng patted the dust off his trousers, stood up, and said, “Sister Chen and Uncle Liao haven’t slept well these past two days. You should both get some proper rest.” With that, Wu Zeng left the living room and went into the courtyard to look for Chen Jin. “Wait for me!” Li Ming Ming quickly closed her notebook, greeted Uncle Liao and Sister Chen, and hurried after him. The living room…

Xiao Gang is Missing “Why exactly are you asking about my family’s business?” Sister Li frowned, lowering her voice as she asked. She clearly didn’t want people to know the real reason her husband was away. She was displeased with Chen Jin’s questioning but didn’t dare to raise her voice. A small bird landed on a branch of the large potted tree in the courtyard, fluttered twice, and then flew away in alarm. “I want to know what reason has kept you so fixated on the card house for two…

A First Glimpse Gang Zi tugged at his sweat-soaked collar. The half-past noon sun was nailed directly overhead, making the entire corrugated iron factory feel like it had been thrown into a smelting furnace. "What's your name?" "Liao Ming Gang, just call me Gang Zi." Gang Zi's eyes darted around. This was a tin shack. A dozen men just like him were huddled on long iron benches. A crooked wooden sign reading "Registration Office" leaned by the door, and heat waves mixed with the smell of old tobacco…

The Card Game Showdown Inside a villager's home in Mengle Village, the lights were off, leaving the room dark, with only faint moonlight spilling onto the floor. "Where did you trick Sister Chen's Xiao Gang into going?" "Who did I trick? Isn't it up to him where he chooses to go work?" "You're lying! If you hadn't misled him, who would have known..." "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want. Whoever did something bad knows it in their heart." The voice from the…
