Before the End of the World: I Became a Loophole in Heaven

Chapter 196 Human Skin

"Did the little girl give you this human skin voluntarily, or did you take over another person's body? Tell the truth!" When talking to the five guardian gods, Nangong Xi's voice was obviously more majestic than Li Yingjun's.

The little girl's mouth opened, revealing the darkness inside. Her green eyes became even smaller because of the expression on her face. "She died a long time ago."

The little weasel leaned aside to make way, "Adults, come in and talk. There is no place to sit nearby. Let's rest at Lin's house."

Ji Li took a look at the Lin family's house. It was not big, but cozy, with many new decorations. The vase and doll he saw in his dream were also there, but silent.

"My name is Huang Qi, the seventh child in the family, Qi means abandoned." Huang Qi introduced himself, "Before Jue Village was developed, our ancestors lived on Jue Mountain. The villagers of Jue Village were a troupe of actors who came from North Vietnam..."

The troupe goes out early and comes back late. They perform on the streets during the day and return to the halfway point of the mountain at night. Jue Mountain is surrounded by mountains and no one lives there all year round. But because of this troupe from North Vietnam, the place has become lively.

The plays performed by the troupe were also very magical. They often turned people into animals to attract the curiosity and reward of people living at the foot of the mountain. There were children wrapped in snake skins and crawling on the ground, children wearing dog skins, a skeleton girl with fleshless hands, and vases at the pond with children thrown into them, leaving only their heads outside.

When Huang Qi saw this, he felt that humans were really strange creatures. They were clearly born with five hundred years of Taoist practice, but this darling of heaven actually wanted to turn humans into strange animals. As a little weasel with low cultivation, he really couldn't understand why it was like lowering his own cultivation.

As for how Huang Qi saw the opera troupes in Jue Village, it was because Huang Qi did not get enough nutrition in his mother's womb and was born weak. He could not compete with his brothers and sisters in the womb, and he could not compete with them after he came out. He became a burden to the clan and was thrown into the aisle by his mother.

An immature weasel looks almost the same as a cat. Because Huang Qi was abandoned by his own mother, he was naturally looked down upon by the tribe, and no one in the tribe was willing to take care of him. Although he had a mother and brothers and sisters, he was almost an orphan. Fortunately, he looked like a cat, and humans had a natural sympathy for weak animals. When they saw him, they would throw some scraps of meat or the food they were eating to him. Huang Qi would then rely on people and survive the attack.

Because of these reasons, Huang Qi often appeared in places where people had walked, eating some leftover human-smelling food in order to gain a little bit of spiritual cultivation.

Later, its mother saw that it was alive and was fed by humans, so she came to find it, brought it back to the tribe, and started living with it.

However, it is still a small and transparent existence in the tribe. It only gets its turn to eat after its brothers and sisters have finished eating. But it doesn't matter, because it was the one abandoned by the tribe and grew up on the leftovers. When its brothers and sisters return to the tribe, they give it the leftovers after they are full, which is enough for Huang Qi to eat.

There was an arrogant red-skinned man in the tribe. Because he often went to the village where people lived to ask for titles, he looked more and more like a human. Every time he came back to the tribe after asking for titles, he held his chin high, as if he wanted everyone in the tribe to see him asking for titles from people. He became more and more like a human.

Every time that happened, the weasels in the tribe would come forward to flatter him, and their words and eyes would imply that the redskin should take them with him next time he asked for a title.
