"It's time to eat......" The unpleasant harsh voice resounded in the mine.

At the top of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, a large group of shirtless men put down the ore in their hands and squeezed towards the cauldron on the top of the mountain.

The blood-red sun crossed the hills and spread evenly on every inch of the land.

"Come to me, all afflicted men, and only when you are full will you have the strength to work, for useless struggles will only make you die quickly. ”

On top of the mountain, next to the cauldron.

Standing stood a tall, bronzed man dressed in a sackcloth garment made of coarse cloth.

The sound spreads like a bell in this valley, and there is an irresistible majesty.

Chaos, noisy voices are endless, people are crowded, people are trampling on people, and people are everywhere.

The tip of Bai Nianqiu's nose moved slightly, and an attractive fragrance slowly flowed into his abdomen in his mouth on the tip of his nose.

The most primitive and savage desire to eat makes me forget to think, dominates the brain, dominates the body and slowly walks to the top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, a solemn team wearing armor surrounded the cauldron, and the swords in their hands that emitted cold light were breathtaking.

The first person to reach the top had already stood by the pot, holding a broken bowl in his hand, but hesitated at this point.

Inside the pot, there is a layer of slightly shiny pale yellow grease, bubbling and bubbling, steaming, and fragrant meat.

The manager who shouted to open the meal, holding a spoon in his hand, had been lifting it for a long time, but the person who had reached the top did not move.

"Good boy, you must be hungry.

Come up and let me bring you the best food in the world. ”

Still

No response.

Behind them, the crowd surrounded by soldiers became more and more agitated, and below them, there was a dense crowd trying to reach the top.

The manager raised his eyebrows slightly, a little impatient.

"Pu. ”

A sharp, cold spear poked out from the man's back to his chest, and a soldier stood indifferently in the rear.

There was a hint of clarity in the eyes of the person who reached the top, and he turned his head sideways to look back, and let out a soft "uh...... sound.

The soldier held his gun in both hands, slammed it above the cauldron, drew his spear, and let the man fall.

The dense soup exploded directly and dispersed in all directions, but it stopped when it reached the face of the chief manager, and a pale red barrier appeared out of thin air.

"Next. ”

The steward pulled his throat, and the ugly voice sounded again.

The chaotic crowd in the rear was let in by the soldiers one by one, like walking corpses, without words, with empty eyes, only the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground.

The manager looked at the visitor "kindly", the spoon in his hand had already been raised high, and everything that had just happened seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.

"A spoonful of soup,

1/2 spoon of meat,

And a little bone,

The baby eats and grows taller. ”

The manager squinted his eyes and shouted hoarse and ugly slogans in his mouth, which made this tall man look nondescript.

The meal continued, and the crowd in the rear scrambled for the first place, a far cry from the silence of the soldiers on the side of the chief.

If someone is willing to take a look at the pot at this time, I am afraid that they will be shocked on the spot, and they will vomit out the rice overnight.

The fragrance is still meaty,

Broth is also broth,

But the bones that occasionally float up inside make people frightened when they look at it.

The whitened hand bones, the foot bones, and the cartilage that I don't know where to do are scooped up from the pot from time to time.

This big pot of soup is human flesh.

These people have been eating the same kind of people.

Bai Nianqiu was no exception, following behind the crowd, holding the broken bowl with blank eyes, and when the chief manager finished serving the meal, he hurriedly ran to the side and sat on the ground to eat.

Whenever people at this time will protect their calves like tigers, if anyone dares to rob them, it may be a battle to the death.

The food here seems to have an indescribable charm, and it is unforgettable to eat once.

Because this rice is called ghost food.

The people here are not human.

This place is called hell.

Legend has it that after death, a person must go through eighteen hells and go through calamities before he can die.

But legends are just legends.

"Knock-knock-knock. ”

The melodious and clear bell rings, and it stretches endlessly around this valley.

There was a hint of clarity in Bai Nianqiu's eyes, and the people around him gradually put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and looked at the void in confusion.

"Vomit...... Vomit...... Vomit. ”

Bai Nianqiu, who was more sober, held on to a stone, squatted on the ground and retched, and threw the fragments of the porcelain bowl to the ground.

"Every day, every day, when will it end?"

Bai Nianqiu pulled his hair with both hands, staring at the broken bowl on the ground with red eyes, stunned.

"Don't struggle, you can leave after half a year, it's much better than our old bones. ”

A skinny, skinny, skinny old man sat next to Bai Nianqiu and gently patted Bai Nianqiu's back.

"Leave, where to leave?

Bai Nianqiu spoke weakly, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or asking this old man.

"The sky is high and the earth is wide, where can I go?"

"Don't miss the original world anymore, if you die a handful of loess, it's hard to go back. ”

Bai Nianqiu glanced at the chief steward above, he was still looking at everyone with a smile, obviously very satisfied that not too many people died this time.

"You say, can I get out alive?"

"Yes, surely. I've been here for decades, old man, and I've never seen a physique like yours. ”

"This ghost food is a great supplement, at most in half a year, you will be able to condense the entity, and the evil qi outside will not hurt you. ”

"When the time comes, everything is hazy, and you need to meditate. ”

The sound of the steward sounded in his ears again, and the noisy crowd instantly fell silent, and no matter where they were, they all sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes.

Every hour every day, the steward would read it again, and there was no clock here, so the steward would act as his own to tell the time for everyone.

At the same time, there are strict rules here, and there are clear rules for what everyone does at every hour, what time to go to bed, what time to eat, and even to go to the toilet.

Bai Nianqiu often feels like a livestock in captivity, and his monotonous and boring life is day after day.

Every day you open your eyes, you have to face the blood-red sun that never seems to set, the walking corpse crowd, and the food that is hard to swallow.

He wanted to get out of here, all the time.

That old man is the only friend Bai Nianqiu has known in the past few years, and there are many outside worlds in his mouth, different worlds from the world, and the old man wants to see them.

The old man is already old, and even if he yearns for it, he may never be able to get out again.

Bai Nianqiu also wanted to go out and see the old man's mouth with fresh clothes and horses, and the rivers and lakes with swords for thousands of miles, and at the same time, take a look at the old man, and fulfill his dream.

I remember the old man said that hell is so big that ordinary people can't finish it in their lives.

There are also many people who are high up in the sky, supporting them in this sky.

Bai Nianqiu always likes to make fun of the old man and call him a thin monkey.

The old man didn't refute either, and smiled every time.

The old man was still in the Republic of China when he was young, and he was also handsome, and he was the only person in their small county town who had gone to college.

But at the wrong time, the beloved woman was taken away by the local landlord.

At that time, the carriage was slow, and a letter had to be tossed and turned for months, and by the time the old man knew, the daylily was cold.

That day, the old man was furious and killed thirteen members of the landlord's family by himself.

It's hard to imagine that a weak scholar could do such a thing.

A person, a clay gun, sneaked in in the middle of the night.

Later, in a side room, the old man saw the woman who had been thinking about it day and night.

The slightly bulging lower abdomen and the happy and satisfied look pierced the old man's heart.

The old man didn't kill that woman, so she left a seed for the landlord's family.

When he was about to go out, he wrote tearfully on the wall,

"If you can't help yourself, it's better not to be born. ”

The old man only said that he died when he was young, but he did not say a word about how he died.

However, Bai Nianqiu was relieved when he thought about it, the scholar was angry and turned red, and he raised a gun to kill people in the middle of the night, which was already great courage.

Since there is no concern in the world, what is the difference between being dead and living, it's just that it's inconvenient to tell outsiders.

"When the time comes, everything is in the sky, and it is hidden deeply, and it is necessary to sleep peacefully. ”

An hour of meditation soon passed, and the steward began to urge everyone to sleep.

The old man lay next to Bai Nianqiu, his head resting on his hands, using the sky as a quilt, looking at the blood-red sun, and taking up his sleep time to chat.

"What do you want to do most when you're out?"

"I don't know, I should go to see the rivers and lakes you said. ”

Bai Nianqiu replied softly, feeling confused and empty.

It's like a person who has been in prison all this time, and he is suddenly released, as if he really doesn't know where to go.

"I heard that there is a place called the Tanuki River, and there is a city. Located by the river, it is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, most of them are merchants, you can go and be a buddy, and mix food and clothing first. ”

Bai Nianqiu frowned lightly and replied, "Don't go." ”

"I was drowned in the water, and I don't want to go to the water again in my life. ”

"There is another place, and Fengqian Village, I often hear people talk about it, the power behind it seems to be quite big, the entire underworld has business, and there is a Lujiang Palace, recruiting people all year round, although I don't know what to do, but I am also a king in charge of a territory, if I go in, I will definitely have a worry-free future. ”

Bai Nianqiu shook his head, the old man said several places in a row, and he didn't want to go.

The old man was a little anxious,

"You have half a year to go out at most, and if you don't want to go anywhere, you'll be devoured by the lonely ghosts outside in a few days. ”

Suddenly, the old man patted his head,

"There's another place, I just don't know if I can look down on you!"

Bai Nianqiu raised his eyebrows, "Where?"

"Tarzan. ”

"I heard from an officer and soldier a few days ago that a small temple had been built under Mount Tai and was looking for a scholar. ”

"But the man inside has a strange temper, and after three days of two changes, none of them have entered his eyes. ”

"Originally, this kind of thing couldn't be reported to us here, but I heard that he seems to be very powerful, and he knows immortal arts. ”

The old man suddenly leaned closer to his head and whispered,

"The one on the top of Mount Tai is sitting high enough, but he doesn't dare to take the one at the door of the house. ”

"Even, there are rumors that the one who dragged the one out on the top of Mount Tai and beat him severely, but no one dared to spread it openly. ”

"Your qualifications are not bad, I haven't seen you like this for decades, old man, I believe that with your qualifications, you will definitely be looked down upon. ”

"Well, my ears are calloused, every day I have qualifications, no matter how good the qualifications are, can I still go to the sky?"

Bai Nianqiu turned to one side, turned his back to the old man, and covered his ears, as if he didn't want to continue listening.

"Nonsense, if it weren't for qualifications, old man, I would have been able to condense the entity after eating ghost food for decades, and you would be able to get out of the valley in just a few years?"

The old man moved to the side angrily, and said no more.
