Chapter 33: Meng Po Soup
"Gollum. ”
Just when the atmosphere was a little solemn, an inappropriate voice suddenly came out of the stomachs of several people.
"That...... Are you hungry?"
Ye Chen scratched his head a little and looked at the two of them with some embarrassment.
From yesterday to now, he and Dieyi have not eaten a mouthful of anything, and they originally felt nothing, but as soon as they crossed the bridge, the tension disappeared, and the hunger from his stomach faintly took over, making him a little unable to walk.
"Well, if you want to eat, then it doesn't hurt to eat a little......" Dieyi was also hungry at this time, but she didn't want Ye Chen to see it, so she turned her head sideways and said as if accommodating.
"By the way, Miss Qiao'er, would you like to eat a little together?"
Ye Chen took the backpack from Dieyi, turned out all the food he had prepared to eat in Hanmu Hospital, and then asked Li Qiao'er again.
"Ah, me, can I too?" Hearing Ye Chen's initiative, Li Qiao'er's face flashed with a touch of feixia, and she asked a little happily.
"Let's go together, let's bring a lot of things anyway, but I don't know if it suits your taste. ”
Ye Chen beckoned to Qiao'er, feeling a little glad in his heart - fortunately they didn't throw away all the food at the blood corpse, otherwise they might starve to death here now......
Bread, milk, compressed biscuits...... At the beginning, Ye Chen bought all this kind of portable food for convenience. If this is put on hold, he, a foodie, will definitely not even move, but now this situation is no longer allowed for him to pick and choose, and a few people can be regarded as relish when they eat - after all, if you are hungry like this, everything you eat is fragrant.
"Ahh
However, unlike Ye Chen and the others, Li Qiaoer had a happy expression on her face that she had eaten for the first time, which made the two of them a little surprised.
"I ...... I've been living in the mountains with my dad since I was a kid, so I've never eaten these things before......"
Looking at the surprised expressions of the two, Dieyi was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained.
It's no wonder, after all, Qiao'er only told them about the underworld before, and they didn't know anything about her family, but now that Qiao'er told it, they understood in their hearts.
"Hiccup......
Needless to say, the efficiency of compressed food is not to mention, and several people quickly felt satiety, and then hiccuped with some happiness.
"Now that you've had enough to eat and drink, it's time to move on. ”
Ye Chen stood up with some difficulty, stretched his body, and walked forward solemnly.
"Hmm. ”
The second daughter responded to Ye Chen in a low voice, and then hurriedly followed Ye Chen's footsteps......
......
However, the road behind the bridge is not difficult to walk, the fog is also very light, and the breeze blows through, which can be regarded as comfortable, but what makes a few people a little panicked is that there is not even a ghost on this road, is it possible, is it really here today?
Thinking of this, several people couldn't help but shudder slightly, if this was the case, then they couldn't say that they would have to suffer some hardships......
A few people slowly moved forward in fear, but Rao was like this, and soon a small dirt slope appeared in front of several people.
"Here, this is Wangxiangtai?"
Ye Chen glanced at Li Qiao'er with some uncertainty.
"Uh-huh. Qiao'er nodded, and then added with some caution, "Meng Po Pavilion is on top of Wangxiang Tower...... That terrifying man seemed to be in the Meng Po Pavilion as usual. ”
"Forget it, I'm going to go early and late, I want to see what kind of person it is!"
Ye Chen knew that he couldn't dodge, so he gritted his teeth and rushed over with his second daughter.
But when they arrived in front of the Meng Po Pavilion, they breathed a sigh of relief - only Meng Po was the only one in the Meng Po Pavilion who was turning the spoon to make soup, but there was not even half a man.
"It's good that it's not here...... Ye Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, and then walked up to Meng Po a little nervously, and said a little cautiously, "That, Master Meng Po, we ......"
"Okay, I know what you're here for, hey, there's two kinds of soup, drink one and let you go. ”
Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Meng Po just interrupted him, and then pointed with her hand, motioning for them to choose by themselves.
"These two soups, one is the memorial soup, which will make up for your most painful memories after drinking, but it will not make you forget anything. ”
Seeing that Ye Chen had not moved for a long time, Meng Po also knew that he did not dare to make a rash decision, so she first pointed to the soup on the left hand side and introduced it to him.
"As for this other one...... Meng Po paused, as if she was struggling with something, but quickly explained, "It's the soup of forgetting worries, and after drinking it, you will forget your past and present lives, so that you can be reincarnated again." ”
Worry-free soup?
Hearing that Meng Po could almost say what was explicit, if Ye Chen didn't know which bowl to choose, then he would really have lived in vain in the past twenty years, so he didn't hesitate, and took a sip of worry-free soup and drank it.
And the second daughter also heard it clearly on the side, knowing that if she didn't drink, she would definitely not be able to pass this level, so she drank it together.
"Hiss......"
As soon as the worry-free soup was in his stomach, a very strong burning sensation came out of his stomach, Ye Chen couldn't stand it for a while, and he rolled directly on the ground!
"Well, I hope you can get through this without any problems......"
Looking at Ye Chen, who was gradually fainting in pain, Meng Po shook her head with some distress, and then helped several people to the Wangxiang platform, so that a few people would not be eroded by the yin qi of this underworld on the ground.
......
"It hurts...... It hurts......"
Ye Chen rubbed his forehead a little uncomfortably and woke up.
No, it's so soft, where is this?
Feeling the warm feeling coming from his hand, Ye Chen was a little stunned for a while, and as his eyes continued to look, he was shocked and speechless for a while.
A room plastered with posters of Zhong Kui, a small oil lamp that smelled of kerosene, and a somewhat broken table of eight immortals with leftovers from yesterday - this is not his home when he was a child!
"Son, are you up?"
A deep voice came from the kitchen, and soon a sturdy man came out of it.
"If you want me to say, you look like a hanger every day, and you don't study hard, you follow other children crazy every day, and you can't find a job sooner or later. The man sat at the table of the Eight Immortals by himself, and said to Ye Chen with some dissatisfaction, "Besides, you don't know the situation of our family, your mother and I can't make a lot of money by getting up early and going out to work in the dark, and it all ends up for you." ”
Dad, Dad!
"Dad...... I, I miss you so much......"
When Ye Chen saw the familiar back, he couldn't help it for a while, and directly pounced on the man and cried.
This time, it was the man's turn to be at a loss, and he hurriedly patted Ye Chen's back and comforted him: "Okay, why are you kid suddenly so numb, don't you see you and your mother every day." ”
Hearing the man say that, the fog in front of Ye Chen's eyes became thicker and thicker - when he was less than seven years old, his mother disappeared, and then within a few years, when he was ten years old, his father disappeared, and since then, Ye Chen has lived a hungry and full life, and it was not until recently that he earned a few dollars by writing movie reviews, and his life slowly improved.
In the past ten years, he has fantasized about scenes like this countless times......
"I said, you two don't eat well, what kind of bitter drama are you playing here. ”
Just when Ye Chen was still holding his father tightly and didn't let go, a voice like a silver bell came from outside the door, and then a beautiful young woman walked towards the two.
"Mom...... Mom!"
Ye Chen hadn't seen his mother since he was seven years old, and his impression of his mother was still in the memory of taking him to the amusement park when he was a child......
"Okay, okay, don't be so numb, hurry up and eat, oh, today my mother brought you your favorite duck neck." ”
The young woman pushed Ye Chen away as if she was disgusted, and then took out a small bag of duck necks from behind her back as if by magic, and said to Ye Chen a little apologetically, "The price of this duck neck has increased again today, and it's all because my mother has no ability to buy more for you." ”
"Mom!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't hold back any longer, and cried bitterly when he knelt on the ground - although he knew that all this was an illusion, as long as he could see his parents again, then he would rather stay in the illusion for the rest of his life......
"Look at what you've gotten this kid to do. ”
On the Wangxiang platform, Meng Po said to the man beside her with some complaints.
I saw a cloud floating in front of the two of them, and the picture inside was nothing else, it was the illusion that Ye Chen was facing at this time!
"I can't help it, you think I want to. ”
The man muttered a little dissatisfied, and then looked at the clouds in front of him with guilt.
"Alas...... I'm sorry for you......"
