    Chapter Index

    The spring rain fell on the small village of Ubis.

    Li Xin hurriedly ran into the wooden house, ignoring the wet awning on her body. She stepped on the squeaky wooden stool and plugged the holes where the rain was seeping with a stack of oil paper.

    It had already rained lightly inside the house, the ground was wet, and the rain boots made a squeaking sound on the clay.

    She took off her cloak and wiped her hair with a washed white cloth.

    “Cough, cough, cough, cough—”

    Suddenly, a violent cough came from the back bedroom, and the patient’s throat wheezed like a bellows in disrepair, emitting an ominous breath of death.

    Li Xin frowned, not caring about wiping her hair anymore, and took out a bottle of dusty potion from the small cloth bag she carried with her.

    She opened the bedroom with the medicine bottle.

    This is a very old bedroom. The linen curtains are threadbare and the floor is warped. When you step on it, you will make a tooth-piercing moan.

    There was only a small bed wide enough for one person in the bedroom. On the edge was a cabinet with a corner missing, and a meager amount of clothing neatly stacked.

    On the small bed, a thin figure lay.

    Because she was too thin, she was almost buried in the not-so-thick bedding. Even though Li Xin often opened the window for ventilation, the room was still filled with a damp smell of rotting wood.

    Li Xin walked over, knelt down and patted her thin back to make her cough more comfortable.

    “Ahem…cough…Cindy, I’m fine…”

    Aphra took a breath, held the edge of the bed, and lay back down with difficulty.

    She was once one of the most beautiful girls in the village, with dazzling red hair and a plump and tall figure.

    But now she has a haggard appearance that has been tortured by illness, her cheeks and eye contours are sunken and gray, her ribs and back are visible to the naked eye.

    She only had a handful of bones left, and people in the village felt that she was about to meet her parents who were torn apart by wild beasts.

    But Li Xin is very stubborn.

    She was just a baby picked up by Aphra’s parents in the jungle. Because she was very different from the locals in her oriental appearance, she was criticized a lot.

    But Aphra’s parents still raised her up. They were a kind and gentle couple, but good people had bad luck. They died under the claws of a brown bear during a hunting.

    Only fifteen-year-old Aphra and eight-year-old Li Xin are left in the family.

    People in the village secretly spread rumors about Li Xin, saying that she was the child of a witch and would bring death and disease.

    But Aphra didn’t believe it.

    Although she was still a young girl, she supported her and Li Xin’s small family with her thin shoulders.

    She went to pick up animal bones in the forest, ground them into small jewelry and sold them, and worked in a bakery in exchange for Li Xin’s food rations.

    During these ten years, she was both a sister and a mother, taking good care of Li Xin.

    But last year, a plague swept through the small village.

    Many people died in the village, and Aphra also fell ill. Just when everyone thought she would die, miraculously, Li Xin used a bunch of unknown herbs to revive her.

    But she still got the root of the disease, her cough became more and more severe, and she became thinner and thinner. In the end, she could only lie in bed and wait for death like a dying old man.

    Li Xin never gave up.

    She has been thinking of ways to complete small side tasks given by the system in exchange for Aphra’s life-sustaining medicine.

    If the system hadn’t banned all her points in this world, Aphra would have jumped out of bed long ago, and she wouldn’t have been tortured like this.

    Now, she couldn’t let Aphra go on like this, and she made the final decision.

    Gen: A new chapter is coming・ω・`)

    emmm, regarding the level of horror, since it is a dark fairy tale and not a supernatural horror theme, the level of horror is about the level of the Jade Body Mermaid Island special. Those who have watched it should be able to understand~

    If you haven’t seen it, don’t worry, it won’t be scary~
