C151 — [6.17 — Strange Tales from Fengjia Town]

On the stove in the kitchen, a pot of simmering broth was gurgling, and the smell of meat filled the entire kitchen, overpowering the strong smell of bloo-d in the kitchen.

Although he had been living in the mountains and forests since he was a child and had never participated in a normal life like ordinary humans, at this moment, Gu Yin was acting very skillfully as he introduced his craftsmanship.

“I specially learned the secret recipe, it’s still a while away from it being ready, I’m going to stir fry a few more dishes. Dear, you can tell me whatever you like to eat!”

As he spoke, Gu Yin held onto Jiu Shu tightly, his sweet smile widened, and his eyes were filled with a pathological desire for love.

It could be seen that Gu Yin carefully dressed up today.

The loose fitting light colored thin fur collar had a wide opening, revealing well-developed but not exaggerated muscles on the body.

The slightly compact apron accentuates his inverted triangular figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist, which was a perfect golden ratio.

The cuffs of his sleeves were also pulled up, exposing his strong arms, and his muscles tightened as he embraced Jiu Shu.

 

He wanted to hug him hard, but he was afraid that he would hurt the love of his life, so he could only press their bodies together like this, trying not to leave a single gap; only in this way could he fill up the desire that was constantly expanding in his heart, and which couldn’t be filled up.

In order to show that he and Jiu Shu were about to get married, Gu Yin came up with a more intimate nickname; he wasn’t satisfied with calling his lover by his first name.

 

In many of the memories he gained, couples in those cities called each other that way.

For Gu Yin, who used to have to hide in the dark and peek at the priest, being able to call the priest by his name was almost impossible. He could only call his beloved priest that way in his imagination.

But now that he had truly obtained the qualification to call him that, Gu Yin still felt unsatisfied.

He has clearly turned into a corpse, but the love in his heart was even more unrestrained than before, expanding uncontrollably and breeding more and more greed, to the point where he wanted to merge with his lover and never part ways.

He was like a lover afraid of being abandoned, trying to attract the gaze of his lover by any means necessary.

Now he had acquired a beautiful skin and could receive the love of the priest. As long as he continued to look good, it was okay to get closer.

 

After all, they would be together forever.

 

So, whether in appearance or address, Gu Yin wanted to get closer to his lover, even the way he hugged him was more oppressive than normal people.

Jiu Shu didn’t resist Gu Yin’s tight and almost suffocating embrace.

 

He looked at the undisguised love in Gu Yin’s eyes and smiled widely.

“I like to eat whatever you do.”

 

There seemed to be honey in Jiu Shu’s gentle voice. The sweetness made Gu Yin’s eyes shine brightly, and his pale face turned red. After a while, he reluctantly let go of his embrace.

Then, he lowered his head and tentatively kissed Jiu Shu’s cheek.

Just like those intimate couples on TV.

If Jiu Shu felt the same way, he would also kiss him back, right?

Thinking this way, Gu Yin felt a bit uneasy, due to his deep-rooted sense of inferiority.

Even though he had become so confident that he was almost inflated, and he no longer pitied himself, and his lover had confessed countless times, he still occasionally felt uneasy.

 

In response, Jiu Shu’s beautiful eyes blinked, and he also tilted his head and kissed back.

But his response was much more natural than Gu Yin’s.

The corners of Gu Yin’s mouth subconsciously rose, and his face couldn’t hide his joy.

Jiu Shu smiled back, then he intimately took Gu Yin’s large, broad hand, and walked into the kitchen, his eyes subtly looking around.

Nothing seemed out of place.

On the counter were also meats that looked normal on the outside.

It was just that he remembered that he hadn’t bought any of these fresh meats, and there were plenty of instant products and desserts in the refrigerator for the convenience of usual meals.

 

In the face of the confusion raised by Jiu Shu, not a trace of gloom was visible in Gu Yin’s demeanor, instead, he was very excited and continued describing how he had carefully selected the ground ingredients from the supermarket.

 

“There wasn’t any meat in the refrigerator, so I went to the supermarket specifically to pick it out… I chose the freshest front row meat, which is more tender and suitable for stewing with bones attached. After a while, it can be stewed until it’s boneless.”

Jiu Shu showed an expression of astonishment, and Gu Yin, who received praise from his lover, became even more enthusiastic.

The atmosphere in the kitchen also became very warm.

“But it must be very hard, isn’t it? There are still a few dishes left to finish, right? Let me help you.”

 

After a while, Jiu Shu gently proposed the idea of ​​helping make lunch.

 

He wasn’t someone who only knew how to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others labor. He didn’t cook much, mostly because of the taste. It wasn’t because he couldn’t cook.

 

As he spoke, he walked over to the chopping board and looked at the piece of meat that had been chopped into pieces, its original appearance was completely ruined. He reached out his hand to sort it into the plate next to him.

 

The bloo-d flowing from the minced meat on the cutting board dyed his snow-white fingertips red.

In the next moment, Jiu Shu’s hand was held by a pair of cold big hands.

Jiu Shu’s movements stopped and he looked up at the tall disciplinary target beside him.

 

Gu Yin sorrowfully wiped away the bloo-d stains on Jiu Shu’s fingertips, his head hanging down, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

 

Then he heard him say somewhat dejectedly, “I want to cook a meal for my dear with my own hands. Does my dear not believe that I can do it well?”

 

“Of course not, I just don’t want you to work so hard.”

Jiu Shu let Gu Yin wipe his fingers, comforting him with a warm voice, but his expression was a bit weird as he looked at the cutting board and garbage bin on the other side.

He seemed to want to ask something, but he didn’t say it in the end.

It could be seen that the disciplinary target was hiding something, and there wasn’t only one reason why he didn’t want him to help.

 

He could actually speak up and question him, but with Gu Yin’s current mental state of walking on a tightrope, delving into the root cause may lead to his complete mental breakdown, so Jiu Shu chose to remain silent with tolerance.

 

Gu Yin didn’t notice Jiu Shu’s silence. He held Jiu Shu’s hand and said seriously, “It’s not hard at all. As long as it’s for Jiu Shu, I can do anything.”

 

“I want to do it. After this, household chores will be my responsibility. My dear, you doing these things will make me feel very sad.”

As long as Gu Yin thought that he was doing housework for his beloved Jiu Shu, he would feel extremely satisfied, even if he did so for the rest of his life.

The most important thing was that Gu Yin didn’t want his beloved Jiu Shu to touch these disgusting rotten meats.

 

Gu Yin’s pupils trembled, as if suppressing a strong sense of disgust.

That pile of rotten and disgusting things that should have been thrown away long ago!

 

If Jiu Shu really wanted to process meat, he could use his meat, which was fresher and much better than these meats.

So — “Promise me and let me do it.”

 

Gu Yin hopefully looked at Jiu Shu, hoping that he would agree.

 

If Jiu Shu didn’t agree, it wouldn’t stop him, but just hiding this secret from his beloved Jiu Shu had already exhausted all his courage.

Then, he would cut off his meat and give it to Jiu Shu; it would definitely be better than this meat.

Imagining the way Jiu Shu would look when he was cutting his flesh with a sharp knife in his hand, Gu Yin revealed a coquettish smile, which was mixed with a sickly satisfaction.

 

As if sensing something, Jiu Shu looked steadily at Gu Yin for a moment before sighing and nodding as if admitting defeat.

Giving up on the idea of helping.

With a joyful smile, Gu Yin kissed the palm of Jiu Shu’s hand that he held in his hand intimately, and rubbed his cheek against Jiu Shu’s white fingers with a mesmerized expression.

 

“Great! Honey, go and get busy with other things, I’ll finish cooking in a while, oh yeah, there’s also dessert after the meal, Jiu Shu likes to eat sweets, right!?”

 

Jiu Shu’s fondness for sweets was something Gu Yin had gotten from careful observation, he wished he could know all about Jiu Shu so that he would love him more and more.

 

Love him to the point where he would continue to love him even without the love compulsion.

“Yes, I’m looking forward to lunch.”

Jiu Shu smiled, seeming to look forward to dessert.

 

He looked silently at the kitchen for the last time, then lowered his gaze and withdrew his focus, turning away to wash up.

He hadn’t changed his clothes until now.

Watching Jiu Shu’s figure gradually fade away, Gu Yin instinctively wanted to follow up and not leave Jiu Shu too far away.

However, in the end, he restrained his impulse and turned his head to look at the cutting board. His smiling face turned cold and became expressionless again.

Before becoming intimate with his wife, a mature man needed to handle household chores.

Whether it was household chores or some damn cockroaches and insects that broke into the house.

Gu Yin stood in front of the cutting board, crouched down and opened the cabinet that Jiu Shu hadn’t seen before.

In the cabinet, a large puddle of bloo-d gushed out, accompanied by a pile of deformed pieces of meat, a bloo-dy mass that only wriggled and grew, with several arms growing vertically and horizontally on top.

The meat chunks were stirring like living beings, inhaling and exhaling, accompanied by the deformed arms twitching their fingers from time to time.

And this was already the processed part. Without processing, these disgusting pieces of meat would grow and spread like weeds.

Even now, it was growing slowly at a speed that was invisible to the bare eye, and even made a painful squeaking sound when it sensed a sharp blade.

It was like that fierce ghost was howling in agony.

There were still some deformed internal organs growing in the flesh and bloo-d, and when cutting the flesh and bloo-d, bloo-d would flow out with it. All of this made it seem like Gu Yin was cutting a living person when cutting these pieces of flesh.

 

However, it was obvious that Gu Yin didn’t care whether he cut a ghost or a living person.

Bang!

Easily chopping up these deformed pieces of meat, Gu Yin’s expression darkened, and his eyes were filled with terrifying resentment.

It was all these damn things that made him lie to his lover!

These disgusting things!

Just when he was about to find happiness – it happened to emerge at such a happy time!

Gu Yin viciously pierced through the still wriggling flesh and bloo-d with the tip of his knife, and his deep-seated resentment made his emotions even stronger. The surrounding area of ​​the church was filled with crazy wriggling gu insects, and the believers who sat quietly praying in the church also lowered their heads, showing a resentful expression.

These things must not be discovered by Jiu Shu.

 

Absolutely not!

 

If he was found out, his beloved Jiu Shu would know that he hadn’t even been able to dispose of the ghost that had hurt him, then he wouldn’t be eligible for forgiveness, and his hard-won happiness would disappear as a result.

That would never be allowed!

 

Prick-

Tearing the flesh and bloo-d along the cutting direction of the blade’s tip, the uneasiness in Gu Yin’s pupils almost condensed into substance, his fragile nerves causing him to constantly deny the possibility of losing his happiness.

 

There was no way he would disappear, he was about to marry his beloved Jiu Shu.

By the way, he still had this face, this pretty face.

With this pretty face, it wouldn’t matter even if he was discovered.

He would be forgiven … for sure …

Gu Yin carefully touched his smooth face and finally revealed a slight smile.

 

But when he lowered his eyes, the gaze he had as he looked at the streak of bloo-d and flesh became even more somber.

 

The blade in his hand was fragile from excessive force, and Gu Yin just looked indifferently at the bone-chopping knife that already had a crack; he pulled open the drawer, and re-selected a new one among the drawer full of sharp knives.

 

The cracked one was then thrown into the trash, drowning in bloo-d like several other knives.

Thump-

The sound of slicing through bone came from the kitchen once more, one time harder than the other.

 

Besides, how could he be discovered?

Wasn’t it enough to chop all these meats into small pieces?

Squeak——

As the screams of flesh and bloo-d abruptly ceased, Gu Yin smiled as he looked at the minced meat on the chopping board that had been completely motionless.

Although he was very careful not to dirty his clothes, there was still too much bloo-d. The apron was already stained red with bloo-d, dripping water and even splashing a lot of bloo-d on his face.

He looked like a murd-erer who was dismembering his victim.

However, in the face of these bloo-dy scenes, he only turned a blind eye and carefully wiped his palms to ensure that he wouldn’t contaminate the ingredients before going to take care of the stewed meat soup that had been simmering for a long time.

The aroma of the meat soup had become increasingly rich.

Gu Yin took out a small spoon and tasted it, and the taste was as good as those made in the memories of the corpses.

Jiu Shu would definitely like it.

Gu Yin happily imagined the praise from Jiu Shu and laughed foolishly.

Gu Yin turned off the fire and continued to prepare other ingredients.

Lunch time was coming soon, he couldn’t let Jiu Shu wait too long.

Then, under the large blo-odstains splattered on the wall, Gu Yin learned various production methods from his memory and meticulously made lunch.

He would become a perfect husband, so his beloved Jiu Shu would always be by his side.

 

He would never leave.

As long as he kept doing it perfectly, Jiu Shu would definitely like him more and more.

Gu Yin thought so and immersed himself in fantasy, blushing until he finished lunch and prepared dessert for the meal, but the blush still lingered.

Looking at the tray filled with food, Gu Yin picked it up with longing and walked towards the door of the wine room.

Quickly arrived at the place, Jiu Shu’s room door was open. Jiu Shu was sitting on the sofa, holding his cheek in one hand and flipping through his phone in the other. When he lowered his gaze, his eyelashes were long, and the curvature of his profile was so beautiful that Gu Yin was mesmerized.

It took a while to recover, and while Jiu Shu hadn’t noticed him yet, he quickly tidied up his collar to look better.

Because some of his clothes were splattered with bloo-d just now, Gu Yin took some time to change into a new set of clothes before coming.

This outfit was a bit tight, although it could show off his tall figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist, Gu Yin was still a little nervous. He didn’t know if Jiu Shu would like it.

He was always worried that he wasn’t good looking enough and that Jiu Shu would stop loving him because of that.

But he also knew that he had been overthinking.

How could he not? Jiu Shu said he would always love him.

 

As long as … those things weren’t discovered.

Gu Yin looked at the several plates of meat and vegetables with tempting colors stir fried on the tray; as if recalling the things he had chopped earlier, his eyes darkened a bit, but soon returned to normal.

 

Because he knew that he was overthinking, there was no way he could be discovered; it was just the dying struggle of that ghost.

Gu Yin gloomily thought, but the next second, he heard a familiar “squeak” sound.

It was the sound of those disgusting pieces of meat.

 

Following the direction of the sound, the wriggling flesh was spreading underneath Jiu Shu’s feet, and Jiu Shu seemed to have sensed something and sat up straight to look down.

 

From Gu Yin’s angle, Jiu Shu seemed to have seen the disgusting pile of rotten meat.

“!!!”

 

He was going to be discovered, and all illusions of happiness were going to vanish.
