Chapter 9: The Old Man in the Hut
Barren, desolate, and everywhere exuding a desolate hell, a rickety old man with an unknown animal bone suddenly appeared before my eyes, his face full of pus, his short stature, his back hunched, and he looked at me with a chilling look, even though I had done nothing.
"This place is full of dangers, it's not a place for you to be a little girl, go back."
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Are you an old man in a hut?"
The old man seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he didn't stop, waved his hand, and said
"I don't know, let's go back......"
"Senior, please, I just want to take the water of forgetfulness to save the life of my loved one~"
……
If it is said that the ghost town of hell is famous because of a fallen fairy ghost woman, then the old man in the thatched hut is because of this forgetful water.
The water in the ten thousand dry wells forgets the love, and a cup of drink forgets the self.
From ancient times to the present, many infatuated men and women are unwilling to be burdened by hardship, and they have to come to this barren place at the risk of death, just to get a drop of forgetfulness. But this ghost town is not a place where you can come when you say it, not to mention whether the ghost woman is willing to share his forgetfulness with others, just the thousands of evil ghosts in this city can leave you with no bones left.
Therefore, there is a saving zài of the old man in the thatched house.
Legend has it that at some point, the ghost town suddenly came to an old man who was dressed in tatters, with an ugly face, and even the evil ghosts couldn't speak, he never entered the city, but built a thatched house outside the city gate, and lived by eating poisonous weeds at the foot of the gate of the ghost city every day, and he was a quirk, no one ever came to see him, and no one ever knew who he was and where he came from, only that he stayed here for 10,000 years.
Until one time, a teenager ventured here to save his lover, was seriously injured, and was rescued by him, a quirky old man easily took the water of forgetfulness and gave it to the man, and from then on, the water of forgetfulness is no longer an unattainable thing!
After listening to my words, the old man turned his head and stared at me fiercely
"A ruthless person, uttering the word lover, ridiculous, ridiculous."
Suddenly, my face turned dark, and I slowly gathered spiritual power in private, since I couldn't move softly, I could only come strong.
"That's it, that's it, since it's the cause of my planting, I'll help you once today, come with me!"
The old man suddenly changed his attitude, shook his head, and told me to go with him.
I was very surprised, happy but also afraid, the moment he shook his hand, he actually turned into all the spiritual power gathered in my hands, this person is unfathomable!
The old man seemed to be moving slowly, but he was walking extremely fast, and I could only barely catch up with him with my spiritual power.
"It's here, the humble house is shabby, don't dislike it!"
After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived at my destination, a thatched hut, sure enough, there was no mistake in the witch's notes, the old man lived outside the gate of the ghost city, and built an extremely dilapidated thatched hut according to the tall city wall.
The old man moved open the door of the hut with his hand, and although he said kind words, his tone was very arrogant, and he walked in first.
I looked at the hut in front of me, which was no taller, and it was pitch black, and after hesitation, I bent down and walked in.
Surprisingly, there was no unpleasant smell inside, but it was full of grassy fragrance, and as far as the eye could see, the surrounding walls were full of dried ... Poisonous weeds, I'm embarrassed, sure enough, the legend is true. Looking at the obvious dry and putting it on, I really didn't expect this old man to be such a careful person.
The room is dim and dark, the only light can only be the stove on the wall of the ground, there is no coal in hell, I don't know what is burning in it, a simple bed is placed in the corner of the room, and there is a homemade one next to it, it can be regarded as a cabinet, the house is not as bad as imagined.
"It's not what you think, is it?"
The old man suddenly lifted the curtain from the inner room and walked out, with a small lamp in his hand, and the faint light at least made the room a lot brighter.
I was embarrassed and didn't speak. Standing aside, watching it come by, making it to the stool next to the stove, picking up the iron pot that was set aside, not knowing what to boil.
"Sit down."
The old man put the iron pot away, handed over a wooden stool and put it aside, and motioned for me to come over, but the tone was very bad.
I thought about it, walked over, sat down, although the ghost town is dangerous, but since my mother said that this old man is trustworthy, I don't have to worry too much, anyway, if he really wants to hurt me, I can't beat it.
The old man ignored me completely, took a wisp of poisonous weeds from himself, put it in the pot, and boiled it.
The poisonous weed was put into the pot, and it turned into a rainbow soup, and the enticing aroma wafted out, and even I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Want to eat? Do you want to try it? "The old man suddenly became a spoonful, put it to my mouth, and I immediately stayed away,
"Still don't use it!" Even if it's incense, he's poison, I'm not so stupid, try poison by myself!
The old man sneered, retracted his hand, and saw that he put the poisonous soup in his mouth and ate it with relish, which was strange enough.
This grass is called colorful cloud poison, as the name suggests, it is as beautiful as the rainbow after cooking, but after all, it is poison, after eating, it will make people feel a sense of fluttering immortals, after a long time, the drinker will die because of the poisoning too deeply.
However, looking at the old man's big gulp, his face was still so bad, if it weren't for the black poisonous gas forced out by the tip of his left finger, I would really wonder if the old man was invincible.
"Actually, there's a lot to eat outside..."
Watching him gulp down the poisonous soup, I kindly reminded him.
The old man glanced at me fiercely, then raised his hand and poured the last bowl of poisonous soup into his mouth, I was bored, I didn't speak, but, in an instant, I seemed to see that the old man was still wearing a bracelet in his hand, what a pervert.
"Senior, when are we going to enter the city?"
Watching him finish his meal and put down the bowl, I asked.
"What are you going to do with your love?"
The old man put the bowl in the pot and asked me casually.
"Help!"
"Save whom?"
"Someone I love!"
I subconsciously said that Li Han put him in the position of the person I love. But the old man burst out laughing.
"Someone you love? Haha, it's ridiculous, where did you get your love from this little witch! ”
The old man mocked me unabashedly, sneering from time to time.
When I heard this, I lowered my eyes, thinking that at first he was just talking casually, but I didn't expect him to really ......
Although the old man sarcastically mocked me, he said again
"That's it, I'm not in the mood to care about you~ You take a rest here today, and I'll bring you the forgetfulness water early tomorrow morning!"
"Can't you take me there?"
After the old man finished speaking, he was about to enter the back room, and I hurriedly said a word, but I didn't expect him to suddenly turn around and look at me fiercely
"What exactly do you want to take?"
