running downstairs. Looks like I'll have to be ready at all times from now on.Fortunately, the old man in front was walking slowly and absentmindedly. Sometimes he would even stop nervously, looking v..."Thinking of running away" he asked coldly.

Nonsense, of course!

I stood frozen by the window, too afraid to turn around.

He reached over my shoulder and pushed the window open.

The window kept the raging wind and rain at bay, he was so close to me, I could feel the icy anger radiating from him.

Haven't you got it wrong I'm the one who's been treated so badly, shouldn't I be the angry one

But I'm very scared, extremely scared. This is my first time leaving home for so long, and I was tricked by bad people... I'm terrified now.

This man is tall and muscular, with broad shoulders and a strong waist. He's so powerful that I have no chance against him; he could snap my neck with one hand!

I opened my mouth, wanting to beg him to let me go, but my tongue felt numb, and I could only make strange whimpering noises. I was so desperate that tears welled up in my eyes.

He bit his own finger and put it to my lips.

"Mmm."

Snort!

I twisted my head desperately to dodge it, who knows if this blood has a virus or not! Even if it doesn't, it's disgusting, okay!

My actions seemed to anger him. He let out a cold laugh, crouched down in front of me, silent and still, as if waiting to see my reaction.

Within three seconds, another wave of excruciating pain, like a knife twisting in my gut, hit me. I was drenched in cold sweat and collapsed to the floor, gasping for air like a dying fish but unable to make a sound!

This torment is driving me insane!

"Mmm," he said again, his voice cold. He reached out with a finger and brushed it against my lips.

I was terrified he would kill me, so I just feigned a kiss by touching my lips to his finger.

He shoved his finger rudely into my mouth, his other hand gripping my jaw to prevent me from biting. The metallic taste of blood immediately spread through my mouth.

"If you don't want to die, just obey." He said in a gloomy voice.

I bit my lip, nodding resignedly. His blood, laced with a strange tang, eased the numbness on my tongue.

I immediately pleaded, "Please... let me go home. I'm here to help with the disaster relief..."

My tongue was still numb, and saliva dripped from the corner of my mouth as I spoke.

It's really embarrassing.

A veil of gauze covered the man's face, obscuring most of it. I could only see his sharp jawline and lips.

"Go home" He reached out and lifted me up, pushing open the window again. The icy rain immediately splashed on my face, and the cold wind made me shiver.

"Mountains toppled, rivers boiled over, and a raging storm swept through. Do you still want to go home How could you not know fear before coming here" he rebuked coldly.

I... how could I know I'd meet bad people...

He grasped my arm, half-pulling, half-carrying me up.

"You, you've taken advantage of everything cheap already, and now you want to do what..."

"How dare you, going on a journey alone And being framed too!" He threw me onto the cold bed with inexplicable anger.

"You... I don't even know you! You took advantage of me and then punished me! Uh, uh... it hurts so much... Waaah..." I bit my lip and burst into tears.

In times of trouble, everyone comes to help. But now, who will save me!

With houses destroyed and refugees everywhere, who would notice a stranger like me, come to help

Even if I were to die and disappear, I would be classified as a victim of the aftershocks, with no trace of my remains left.

Who can save me——

"Stop crying!" the man growled impatiently.

A clap of thunder rattled the window, making the whole room hum. I bit my lip, desperately trying to hold back my tears.

Her face flushed red, she could only let out a faint whimper.

He whispered, "Don't cry... you were destined to come here eventually."

“What do you mean What do you mean it’s only a matter of time before I come here” I stared blankly at the man covering me.

Before he could answer, another sharp pain stabbed me in my lower abdomen. It was so intense that I curled up, feeling like I was going to faint.

I don't even know how I made it through.

In a haze, I felt him lean over me again, my body trembling with the fear of pain. I instinctively loosened the tension, drew closer to him, grasping his flesh as if to release, resist, and endure this endless night.

I attribute this reaction to Stockholm Syndrome.

"Be good... The She-Venom is pleased, and only then can you live..." He murmured in my ear.

I mumbled, confused: "What...what is this"

He sneered, pinching my face, and whispered, "The female gu is an extremely venomous creature. It'll be living comfortably in your body now. You better stop crying and fussing, or you'll anger it. Even the gods won't be able to save you then."

Female silkworm!

"You, you put a curse on me! You—"

I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat and my mind went blank. My family has been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for years, and we would rather treat corpse poison and dark miasma than encounter gu poison!

Take a hundred insects into a jar, and after years open it, there will surely be one insect that has eaten all the others. This is called "gu".

>

"You didn't die immediately, which means the female Gu worm has recognized you. From now on, take good care of it and make it happy..."

Satisfied Just let me die.

I was tormented by pain until dawn broke, my whole body drenched in cold sweat.

In a daze, I felt someone lift the fabric from my body and heard the voices of two women talking.

"Goodness, so much blood You'd think someone was giving birth!"

"Hee hee... Perhaps it's because our master is too powerful"reaching the heavens!""I understand, but those small tribes don't care about that. The consecutive natural disasters have shaken their beliefs. The destruction of the zombie village a few years ago ma...
