Night Demon

Chapter 4 Roasted Rat

In the evening, Zi Yueli, who hadn't eaten anything for a whole day, came to a few mouse traps she made as usual after finishing her work. There were already two big mice trapped on them, but they were not dead yet, and they were using their strength to trap them. screaming and struggling desperately.

Tsk tsk... The mouse in this other world is really big, several times bigger than the roasted mouse she had eaten before.

Zi Yueli bent down without changing her face, stretched out her hand to grab the neck of the struggling mouse, and soon, the mouse stopped struggling and did not move, her fingers turned to the second mouse, and soon, the second limbs The kicking mice also stopped moving.

Zi Yueli put the two dead mice on the stone slab next to the well in a corner of the courtyard, took out a sharp dagger, skinned them skillfully with both hands, removed the head and limbs, took out the internal organs and washed them, and went to the side of the house In a small kitchen, put the rat meat on a wooden board, cover it with various seasonings that she brought in from the imperial dining room a few nights ago, in the middle of the small kitchen, under a grill she improvised, the moonlight lit the fire. Light it up, set up a few pieces of wood, wait until the fire is almost burnt, then put the marinated mouse meat on it, and after the meat changes color after roasting, Yueli will keep turning the mouse meat.

The smell of rat meat has been slowly exuding in the air, and the familiar smell reminds Yueli that when she was receiving special training in Africa, her eyes were dizzy from starvation because she had no food, so she could only drink water to satisfy her hunger. Going down, mice, snakes, grasshoppers, all kinds of rats, snakes and ants, and unknown fruits have become her food. Sometimes, when there is no food to eat, when I am hungry, I grab the grass, pick the leaves and rub it. Put it in your mouth and eat it. Compared with the predicament before, it is too easy for her to solve her livelihood now.

This small courtyard is the most remote abandoned courtyard in the north of the Dongwu Imperial Palace. It is similar to a cold palace. There is only one wall separating the courtyard wall from the road outside. When Zi Yueli was 8 years old, she was arranged here alone by Zi Yueli's mother, Empress Liu Guifei. Living here, except for her two imperial sisters who would send people over to let her go there to give them abuse, only the second imperial brother Zi Tianhao would kindly send her some food and some medicines to stop bleeding and heal wounds, and sometimes bring her Give her some daily necessities, now is the beginning of school, these people who often trouble her are already in the school, but this small courtyard is clean, and no one comes to her for a whole month after her rebirth.

After eating a rat, Zi Yueli did not continue her physical training in the courtyard as usual, but sat in front of the mirror, thoughtful, and she in the mirror was exactly what she looked like when she was thirteen or fourteen years old in her previous life, Although her delicate and beautiful face was a bit immature, it couldn't hide her alluring face.

In recent years, every time Ziyuemei and Ziyueying saw her, their eyes were no longer full of contempt and disdain, but turned into jealousy and resentment.

Every time I start, I twist, pinch, and slap her face fiercely, often making her face look so red and swollen and purple that she can't go out. At that time, her sisters always smiled and led her, who was ugly, to play around in the harem, accepting the cynicism, abuse and ridicule of the palace people.

Ugh……
