Chapter 41: The Freak of Wild Eating
The night is endless, and through the old window lattices, you can see other rammed earth houses standing in the desert, and two pots of blazing flames are placed at their doors, looking from a distance, it seems to be the gathering place of Mingjiao in the movie.

The moonlight on the clear water dropped countless pieces of silver, and the sand dunes in the distance turned into undulating shadows, and the trees and reeds swaying in the wind were especially eerie at this time.
This place is called "Yuehewan", which is the transit station of Loulan Silk Road, where business travelers and envoys come from all over the world, Xijing (Chang'an), Luntai, Qiuzi...... They did not reach their destination and began to exchange various Central Asian coins and Han Dynasty coins for their favorite goods.
I don't know how long I haven't experienced the feeling of being lively, during this time my eyes are full of boundless desert, and the loneliness and panic in my heart have dissipated after seeing so many people, I like the feeling of popularity.
In the distance on the bonfire, those smooth-mouthed Han people sat on the water's edge, drinking wine and singing small songs, looking very pleasant.
A trace of cold wind penetrated into my skin from outside the window lattice, and I shivered, I really wanted to be able to learn from the landlord in the northwest now, sitting on the hot kang and snorting melon seeds.
Turan sent hot water, and when the three of us took off our shoes, a thick layer of sand fell from the sock cover and into the cracked soles of our feet.
Smelling a sour stench that smokes people to death, I rolled my eyes in a daze, almost nauseated, but endured it. We soaked our feet comfortably and washed away the fatigue and heaviness of this time.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the streets of "Moon Bay" were bustling with people, and there were more and more people, and people who had walked in the desert were just like me, and they were very excited to see people, some beat the tambourine, some drank wine while walking, and they laughed as if it was the end after tonight, and everyone was enjoying the last day.
Wang Bajian has lived in his sister's pile since he was a child, he likes to be lively by nature, he wants to join this carnival, I am afraid that he is playful and will get into trouble, so I persuade him to stay in the house, but Wang Bajian's heart has already drifted outside, no matter how I persuade him, it has no effect.
Baocai and I had one leg inconvenient and the other shoulder was injured, so we could only look at the scene outside and sigh to ourselves, just like a child in a hospital bed longing for a swing and a bicycle.
"Alas...... These are all unorganized and undisciplined......" Baocai said sourly, and turned on the mode of self-talk: "Especially your ancestor, that is the wild horse that has escaped...... The half-immortal looked at Si Swenwen, but in his bones he did his own thing, he really couldn't look good, the sea water couldn't fight, what is the word in our time............?
I looked in the direction of Baocai's finger, a person walking in the crowd, with a cloth bag for storing food hanging from his waist, his cheeks bulging, and his mouth was full of food, but even so, his thin hands went deep into the cloth bag again and again, took out the food and stuffed it into his mouth, it looked a little mechanical and a little weird.
He seems to have not eaten for a hundred years, and his thirst for food has surpassed everything, and some people have passed by him, and he doesn't care, just eat.
Just as Baocai and I looked at him, he turned his head and stared at us with a white face, without any expression, just kept eating, constantly delivering food to the mouth of the black hole, chewing like a squirrel.
I was horrified by his gaze, and dragged the treasure through the window, but the hairy feeling lingered for a long time, as if he would enter the inn at any moment, find our room, and question why we had been staring at him.
"What a strange man......" I said uneasily.
"yes...... Sneaky, like that kind of introverted murderous pervert...... "Baocai is also a little scared."
I was told by one of them, and the fear instantly flooded my body, and the two of them were not sleeping or sitting at the moment, and a kind of cheap psychology emerged, and the two of us slowly approached the window lattice, and in the flowing crowd, the man who had eaten wild was gone!
The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and Baocai and I searched for the figure of the man uneasily, but we didn't expect this search, we found that there were many people who were stuffing things into their mouths indiscriminately, and the people who passed by did not care about their strange behavior, but were attentive to the goods on the stalls.
While we were engrossed in watching, the sound of a rapid knock on the door disturbed our nerves, and I jumped in shock, and Baocai looked at me with a frightened expression, and said in a trembling voice, "No...... It won't be ...... That thing just heard us laughing at him behind his back...... Came to us, huh?"
My heart hung high, and my eyes were fixed on the door, which was so old that it would shake at the slightest tap. I swallowed, I didn't know what to do, the quiet space awaited the unknown visitor.
The knock on the door grew tighter and tighter, and I asked faintly, "Who ......?" the voice was similar to what I imagined a ghost to say.
The sound of the wind in the yellow sand is like a pan flute, Xiao Suo is lonely, and the noise outside does not make us feel a trace of security at this time, but because of the noise in the atmosphere of fear, people are becoming more and more restless. The people who lived in the inn seemed to be accustomed to this kind of hustle and bustle, so they didn't care, and they didn't come out to complain about the disturbance outside.
"Is there anyone......" At this time, a person's voice sounded from the outside, my heart sank, listen carefully, this voice is a questioning tone, there is no malicious intent, after confirmation, I faced the door, and asked again: "Who?"
The people outside heard the movement inside and said enthusiastically: "Downstairs guy, send some food......
As soon as I heard this, I glanced at Baocai, who put away his guard, stood up straight, and muttered, "Sure enough, we are too sensitive!"
Hearing that the person who came was not the man I had just seen, the man who was eating wildly, my stiff body slowly relaxed, and when I opened the door, the guy smiled slightly, and delivered the naan and a plate of mutton to us, and he said politely: "Tu Zhangshi is a person who loves to listen to stories, he said that you have seen evil ghosts in the desert, and they are big heroes, so he specially asked the little one to bring you some food." As he spoke, he glanced into our room and said, "Ah, are you two here?"
After going through too many things, I was more defensive, and I responded with a smile, "Oh...... They are all in the other room, they have rested, and you are in charge of things, thank me for your thoughts......"
When the guy heard this, he nodded, and said, "Then I won't bother the guests in the other two rooms, and the two of you will use it slowly." As he spoke, he held the table in one hand and closed the door for us with the other. As he left, I noticed that his smile was a little fake.
After he left, I put on the deadbolt, and to be honest, the smell of mutton made my stomach twitch and drool, and I wanted to reach out and stuff it into my mouth.
Baocai is a shrewd man, he said: "Nothing to be courteous, either treachery or theft ......" In fact, he was apprehensive about the last time he was in the wine shop.
He took out the silver needle, inserted it in the flesh for a while, and after all the tests were completed, he pinched the needle, shone it on the fire, and said in disbelief: "Son, you said that there are really good people in this world who make people eat for nothing?"
I saw that the silver needle was not dyed black, sat down, and said jokingly: "Do you think that everyone is like you, so finely calculated? ”
"How is this fine, this is called being able to live, you said all the way down, you want your ancestors and the little Taoist priest who can't count money to see the money, where can we go to Dunhuang?"
I plucked out my ears, I could really hear these words, and I said: "Lord Bao, aren't you our Minister of Finance, you are right, but this meat should wait for my ancestors and them to come and taste it together, we have this exclusively, and it is not righteous enough." ”
Baocai said unhappily: "Bajian's amount of food is one top two, to see good wine and good meat, with his hand speed, it is not all stuffed into his mouth, besides, didn't Boss Tu prepare food for them, let's eat it first...... "Just stretch out his hand, Baocai suddenly froze.
I teased him and said, "What, my conscience has been discovered?"
However, Baocai's expression was very solemn, and I put away my smile and said, "What's the matter? My stomach hurts?
Baocai turned a deaf ear to my words, and he said in a stunned tone, "Mi Xiangzi......"
"What's that...... Mikako?" I looked at him puzzled.
"This is Mi Xiangzi!" Bao Cai repeated the shock just now, he took out a garlic-shaped, fingernail-sized spice from the mutton pile, looked at me in a daze, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I have read a lot of books about plants and animals, and I am especially interested in some out-of-the-way or extinct plants and animals......"
When he spoke seriously, I already felt very scary, let alone say one sentence twice like now, I was so anxious that I said, "Pick the point!"
Baocai's face turned slightly bitter, and he said, "Son, I want to tell you...... Don't scream!"
I was so itchy by what he said, I urged him: "You just tell me first, and when you finish speaking, I can go around the field." ”
Baocai was so shocked, his tone was very unstable, and he said: "This misty incense is a drug~ They put a drug in the food they gave us! What are you going to do?" )
