It was cold and windy, and there were no customers in the store today.

When it was dark, the guys got together for a random working meal and then dispersed. Two fun-loving ones said they were going to touch the shrimp, and the rest were too lazy to be ghosts, and they had no interest in anything other than burrowing into the bed.

Cheng Ming was a little uncomfortable with the oily bed, and he sat alone under the lantern in front of the store, his hands folded behind his head, looking up at the starry sky.

The night sky is clear and cloudless, and the stars are dotted.

Cheng Ming knew for the first time that the starry sky was so beautiful. The subsequent starry sky is no longer visible, and if you want to see the stars, in addition to going to the astronomy museum, you can only watch it in the movie. Now seeing the starry sky with my own eyes is really not an ordinary shock.

The heart beats strongly, emitting a faint golden light. Every time it beats, some dots of golden rays flow into the blood vessels, and as the blood flows, it spreads throughout the body, and everywhere it goes, it will take root and sprout, transforming the nearby flesh and blood.

There seems to be a thread connecting himself in the dark, it is the big man who was imprisoned in the firewood room, and the wisps of smoke melted into Cheng Ming's body and turned into energy to replenish himself.

This is Cheng Ming's golden finger, a very special cell.

Cheng Ming calls it a gourmet cell because their characteristics are very similar.

In the past few days, Cheng Ming's food has increased dramatically, no matter how much food he eats, the food cells will easily convert them into energy for the division and transformation of the main cells.

At present, only food provides energy, and turnip greens obviously do not provide much calorie, so it is still not fully transformed.

And the lower division body parasitic on the body of the firewood room is directly converted into energy by devouring his body, I don't know how many times faster, in less than two hours, the lower cells have covered his whole body.

Even if Cheng Ming closed his eyes, he could clearly feel his direction and distance, and he could even feel that there was a line between himself and him, and the energy in his body was constantly transmitted.

Not surprisingly, the spread of his own gastronomic cells has also increased.

"Interesting, so the lower cells can provide me with essence, and I can even suck him into a dry corpse through the air." Cheng Ming suddenly laughed, "How can there be an illusion of becoming a thousand-year-old demon." ”

Tilting his head and thinking about it, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stood up and went back to the room.

There are two rows of wings in the backyard, on the left is where the proprietress lives, and on the other side is a little smaller, surrounded by a circle of wooden stakes to form an independent small courtyard.

This is the forbidden place of the inn, and no one is allowed to approach it except the hostess.

It is understandable that a delicate little woman lives in a herd of animals, so it is natural to take strict precautions.

The wing room on the right was made into a large bunk, and all the guys slept in it. As for the shopkeeper and the account room, who have not yet seen a human figure, they live in a small room separated from the front yard.

Pushing the door in, seven or eight guys slept in a daze.

Fart, grinding teeth, chirping, talking in sleep, doing everything, but none of them sleep honestly.

Cheng Ming walked all the way over, gently stroked everyone's head, and then found his own bed, pinched his nose and got in.

When I woke up the next day, the guys all had dark circles under their eyes.

The two guys who came back late from playfulness were amazed, and kept asking if they had gone out to eat at night.

Although the proprietress was strange, she didn't pay much attention to it.

In the morning, a caravan came, with thirty or forty people, and it was lively for a while. This interruption, this little thing is forgotten by everyone.

Cheng Ming naturally didn't say anything, while feeling the wisps of essence entering his body, watching the golden cells accelerate the transformation, he followed the rules, according to the procedures and rules in his memory, stir-fried the vegetables out of the pot, and worked in the room.

Everyone performed their duties, the proprietress was greeting in front, and the guys were delivering food to greet guests, and they were busy.

By the time we finally cleared up, the sun was already in the middle of nowhere.

Watching the guys start to clean up the leftovers and cold rice, muttering in their mouths while stealing their mouths without a trace, a smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Ming's mouth.

His control over the lower cells is absolute, and the speed at which the essence is absorbed can be freely controlled.

In order not to attract attention, for these guys, Cheng Ming chose the minimum.

That is, to keep them on the verge of starvation all the time.

It's like four or five hours after eating, and your body doesn't feel hungry, it's actually time to replenish energy.

Maintain the bottom line of energy absorption at this point, which will not affect their body too much, and will not delay the collection of their own essence. It's a win-win-win-win

It's like eating more than seven or eight people's meals.

As for the one tied in the firewood room, Cheng Ming was not so polite. After a night of massive absorption, I almost didn't suck the big man dry.

Taking advantage of his free time, Cheng Ming took a look at the past, yesterday he was still full of energy, and he was about to roar as soon as he spoke, but today he has wilted like a frosted eggplant, and he didn't even notice that the rag in his mouth fell off.

Putting a plate of buns next to him, Cheng Ming sat opposite, looked at him with interest and didn't speak.

The aroma of the buns spread through the room, and the big man twitched his nose and raised his head sharply, his eyes bloodshot and his expression a little distorted, like a hungry mad dog.

Cheng Ming could see the struggle in his eyes, which was the bottom line of his conscience, although fragile but tenacious.

Look, this Sun Jiuniang did it, and the reputation of Shilipo is stinky!

Cheng Ming picked up a bun and took a bite, and said, "Don't worry, this is not a human meat bun from the cross slope, but a bun made by me." If you have radish filling, add a little salt, although it is not delicious, but you are hungry. ”

The big man swallowed his saliva and stared at Cheng Ming without speaking.

"It's the same offer yesterday, tell me something, let you eat. Or just I'll ask you to answer! ”

"What do you want to know?" Dahan's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't speak.

Cheng Ming patted his forehead, stepped forward to untie the big man, helped him sit on the ground, and handed over a water hyacinth.

"First of all, your name, position, where do you come from?"

The big man pulled out the gourd, drank it all, wiped his mouth, and said, "Dong Hua, the head catcher of Anyuan County, Southern Gan." ”

"Yo, it's really an official errand, since it's an official errand, why is it dressed like this, it looks like a guy who walks the rivers and lakes." Cheng Ming handed him a bun, watched him stuff it into his mouth, and said, "Besides, you are a native of Southern Jiangxi, what are you doing when you go to our Mengzhou territory?" ”

"The emergency military situation, the Southern Jiangxi thief army has revolted, and has led the people to break through Anyuan County, robbed the silver treasury and grain depot, and released all the death row prisoners in the prison. Order us to deliver the news to Governor Hong. Dong Hua said as he looked at the buns.

"The governor of Nangan came to our side?"

"I don't know about this! Lord Zhixian just asked me to enter Beijing and find Lord Hong's mansion to deliver a letter! ”

Cheng Ming pushed the plate and said, "I don't care about this, but it's also a little strange, is such important information something that can be said at will?" You shouldn't be like you did yesterday, right? ”

"The situation is stronger than people, Dong has nothing to say!"

Dong Hua closed his eyes and stuffed buns into his mouth regardless of it.

Cheng Ming thought for a moment and smiled dumbly.

Obviously, the absorption of essence made him inexplicably frightened, and he probably thought about the evil arts, afraid that if he didn't answer honestly, he would be sucked dry?

Not to mention, there is such a possibility.

Cheng Ming touched his chin, if he kept sucking, the lower cells would devour everything in his body, even after the Gu bones, the lower cells would divide and devour each other, until the only remaining lower cell dried up and died.

When you think about it, it's like there are no bones left.

This is the necessary medicine for home travel to kill people.

Cheng Ming was taken aback by his own brain hole, and couldn't help but start to drift his thoughts.

Dong Hua wiped his mouth after eating, and sat honestly opposite and didn't dare to move.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Cheng Ming shook his head and casually cut off the absorption of essence.

"Okay, I'll ask you!"

Next, the lengthy Q&A process begins.

Cheng Ming's questions are whimsical, complex and changeable, and he asks wherever he wants, even what the housing looks like and whether he can defecate on the street.

made Dong Hua think that this was a new interrogation technique, and he was nervous, always thinking twice before answering, afraid that he would say the wrong thing and die with no place to be buried.

After asking a lot of questions from astronomy and geography to folk customs, Cheng Ming has some understanding of the current era.

The first year of Chongzhen can be said to be quiet before the storm.

Li Zicheng should have just lost his official documents and was dismissed at this time, he belonged to an unemployed young man, and he went home to pout his ass and farm to pay off his debts, and he never thought about the uprising at all.

The Qing Dynasty has not yet established an era name, and at this time it may be that the Zhengbai Banner that Huang Taiji has just controlled is busy robbing and fighting infighting, controlling greater power, and has not thought about a full-scale invasion of China at all.

Dong Hua was a little quick catcher, only knowing that there was a garrison on Ningyuan's side, guarding against the raids of the Jurchens every year.

There is only one sentence in the evaluation, "It seems to be a good fight." ”

As for his hometown in Ganzhou, he knows a little more.

However, it was also some rebel troops who had never heard of it to grab food everywhere and fight with officers and soldiers. Winning today and losing tomorrow, some messy things.

His emergency military situation this time came from one of the relatively large forces.

"You said that you are transmitting military information in light and dark, why are you so careful?"

"On the one hand, the rules are like this, and on the other hand, the thief army didn't know who he had listened to, so he sent men and horses to rob and kill. For the sake of the military situation, Shangguan ordered me and others to divide the way. ”

Cheng Ming touched his chin, "So it's possible that you are following someone behind you?" ”

"Never! I stayed overnight along the way, and my identity was not revealed! Dong Hua is full of confidence.
