In order to entertain the little guest of Medoram, the smart butler arranged the lunch extraordinarily richly. m.

Luo Youcheng didn't have much appetite, but Shang Shiyin and the witch didn't care about the little guests, and they spat and swallowed, as if they wanted to turn nausea into appetite. Since the witch is no longer a vegetarian, Luo Youcheng has discovered that she actually eats a lot and can eat meat. However, I spend a lot of time in the toilet every day, and I have a weak gastrointestinal constitution that eats a lot and pulls a lot.

Luo Youcheng beckoned Medoram to eat quickly, but the little girl hesitated, and when she asked, she realized that her father had to sprinkle antidote powder on the food when eating. Luo Youcheng stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth, and pointed to the men and women who were gluttonous, indicating that they were safe and non-toxic. The little girl then picked up her knife and fork and concentrated on the pieces of meat on the plate.

"Are you two alright?" Luo Youcheng felt that his two subordinates were very abnormal.

"It's fine." The merchant said vaguely, "I've vomited three times, but it's only three, it's fine." ”

The witch swallowed the food in her mouth, "I've been replaying that image in my head all morning, and now I'm used to it, and I'm going to make up for all the food I wasted in the morning." ”

Luo Youcheng is staggered, the witch who has been transformed by Tony Brother has a strong heart. Naturally, he couldn't afford to fall behind, and he also began to eat and drink.

But Medoram put down his knife and fork, opened his eyes wide, and asked incredulously, "Did all three of you vomit?" ”

This kid likes to tell the truth. Luo Youcheng stretched out his hand to help the little girl beside him cut the pieces of meat on the plate: "Don't talk when you eat." ”

Medoram didn't give up, "It's definitely not because of faint boots, why did you all throw up?" ”

"Eat quickly." Luo Youcheng's face was almost unbearable, "After eating, let's go visit your father." ”

Shang Shiyin and the witch glanced at each other, and their hearts were finally balanced.

……

On the way back to see Medoram back, Luo Youcheng met her father, a simple and simple middle-aged man, Gongbul Jia. He was accompanied by two middle-aged men, one was Tsering Abba, who had come from animal husbandry, and the other Medoram called him Pubu Abba. All three rode solo sleds and carried a shotgun.

Kampot couldn't find his daughter in the camp, so he invited two friends to come out to look for him, and with his understanding of his daughter, there was a good chance that he went to a haunted house. If I really didn't go ten miles, I saw my daughter coming with three people. In the last days, I can't see an outsider all year round, and my daughter goes out and brings back three, Kampot is a little vigilant, more curious. Tsering's hand had reached for the shotgun behind his back and was stopped by Kampot. His eyesight is very good, and he can see the smile on his daughter's face for a mile.

"Abba, you lied to me." When Medoram saw Kampot, he curled his mouth, "Where is there a haunted house?" ”

Kampot frowned, regretting that he had told his daughter about the haunted house, but fortunately, his daughter came back safely. was about to say a few words to her, but his daughter didn't give him a chance.

Medoram pointed at Luo Youcheng and said: "This brother is the owner of the 'haunted house', the haunted house you said is actually a manor, which is usually hidden underground, and only comes out when it is useful." ”

Kampot looked at Luo Youcheng with confused eyes, but Pubu beside him clapped his hands.

"You are the family of the richest man in Su?" Pubu turned to Kampot and said, "Have you forgotten? Twenty years ago, the richest man in Su bought the land. ”

Kampot suddenly realized. Twenty years ago, Su Yuanqing bought that piece of land, and it caused a sensation in the pastoral area, but for some reason, that land has been barren. Now I know that the richest man in Su did not build it, but hid it after it was built.

The group came to a small settlement with six houses and a half-printed house next to it. Forty acres of corrals were enclosed with an alloy fence around it, and the corrals were empty. The men of the settlement had gone to graze, and six women remained at home.

In this era, the habits of people all over the world have become almost assimilated

, but there are also those who will retain the traditional habits of the nation. For example, the woman of the Pubu family was beating ghee by hand, and the long churning stick was pressed to the bottom of the ghee bucket more than one meter high again and again. This work should have been completed in the morning, and she helped Kampot find Medoram, but it was delayed.

Luo Youcheng asked Pubu why Grandma didn't use a ghee machine. Pubu says it's her pleasure, and he doesn't think the machine-made ghee tastes as good as her handmade.

Luo Youcheng asked Shang Shiyin and the witch to take out gifts from the superconducting backpack, rice, noodles, oil and some seasonings. The Tibetan family is the most simple and upright, Pubu immediately drove his sleigh to catch a sheep and come back, and at night he wanted to entertain guests with roasted whole sheep, and he couldn't stop him.

Guests came to the house, and the women who stayed behind all arrived at Pubu's house. Someone took over the job of making ghee, and the woman of the Pubu family brought butter tea to the guests. Butter tea has a tea fragrance, milk fragrance, and a faint salty taste, Luo Youcheng and the witch are still used to this taste, and the merchant is not used to drinking it. Luo Youcheng drank butter tea and chatted with the herdsmen.

Luo Youcheng found that not only was Medoram unsuspecting, but the adults in the settlement were very honest, and it didn't take long for him to understand the basic situation of the settlement.

The house of the Poeb family was the largest, and the four brothers lived with a woman, typical of polyandry. This form of marriage has been extinct for more than 300 years, and in the last days, it has been picked up again, and there are still monogamous and two-wives-group marriages in the settlements. Luo Youcheng is no stranger to group marriages, and the half-minute queen and the men of a few seconds have a precedent. Marriage in the last days is not for reproduction, but for mutual companionship and warmth. As long as the parties feel harmonious, it is not too much. The same is true of the significance of establishing a settlement, although there are six families here, but the goods and food are shared, and it is okay to say that these eighteen people are one big family.

"Uncle Kampot, why is Meiduo so small?" Luo Youcheng asked.

Kampot was a little confused by Luo Youcheng asking this question.

"After the cataclysm, no one was pregnant. So I wonder how Meadow came to this world after the Calamity. It may be a rude question, but it's important, and maybe we'll find a way to get humanity back to life. ”

Kampot shook his head: "Then don't think about it. ”

After the disaster, the virus had not yet spread in full force, and Kampot, which was located in the remote grassland of western Shuxi, had relatively ample time to respond. The Kampot family has a cellar and a cold store, and he prepared food for four or five years, like a dormant cicada, and lived underground with his wife for three years. If it weren't for the blackout, they might have stayed a little longer. Medoram was born in their third year of living underground, and at that time, neither of them had been infected by the virus.

Luo Youcheng asked, "What about her mother?" ”

Kampot said softly, "On the third day of coming out, there will be no people. ”

Luo Youcheng whispered sorry.

Kampot smiled, "It's over, Meadow has grown up." ”

Didn't get the desired result, Luo Youcheng couldn't continue on this topic, he asked: "Whose house is being printed?" ”

"Tsering's, he's going to move over. The people on the pastoral side have almost all left. Kampot replied.

"Because of that dragon?"

Kampot once again showed a puzzled expression.

Luo Youcheng explained: "It's what you call the spirit 'don't'. ”

"Yes, six people have been captured in the past few months, and none of them have returned."

As soon as Kampot finished speaking, the room was enveloped in a dull and dead atmosphere, and Tsering couldn't help but choke. Kampot walked up to him and put his arm around his shoulder.

Luo Youcheng waited for Tsering to vent his emotions for a while before continuing: "That spirit is called a dragon, and it is a man-made genetic monster. Then he told everything he knew about the situation of the ghostly monster.

Kampot exclaimed: "

Why did they create such a monster? ”

"I want to know, too." Luo Youcheng said quietly, "We came out this time to investigate this matter. You can also tell me about what you know. ”

Kampot exhaled and pulled out a cigarette gun and a pack of shredded tobacco from his inner bag. Luo Youcheng turned his head and gave Shang Shiyin a look, and Shang Shiyin hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes from his backpack and handed it to Kampot. Kampot looked at Shang Shiyin in surprise.

Luo Youcheng smiled: "We're lucky, there's still a lot of this thing, take it." ”

Kampot took the cigarette, took one for Tsering, and lit one himself, "Don't be on the animal husbandry side...... Dragon, the size is about the same as ours. In recent months, it has become more and more powerful and is no longer afraid of shotguns. ”

"Could it have something to do with the people who were robbed?"

Kampot glanced at Tsering, the swarthy man who spat out a puff of cigarette and nodded, "Every time you take someone, it gets stronger." ”

Luo Youcheng asked: "Is it a man or a woman who has been arrested?" ”

Tsering replied, "It's all women." ”

"Take care of your woman, if you get it once, you won't be able to stop it." Luo Youcheng said to Kampot that he looked at Medoram again, "Especially Meduo, you can't run around anymore." ”

Medoram spat out her tongue mischievously, and was glared back by his father's eyes. The little girl did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Uncle Kampot, I want to say a few words to you alone." Luo Youcheng said.

Kampot looked at Tsering, who looked unhappy because he had been excluded from the conversation. Luo Youcheng glanced at Medoram, and Tsering thought that he was going to talk to Kampot about Medo, so he was relieved.

Kampot led the way for Luo Youcheng, and Medoram wanted to follow, but was stopped by Kampot. Luo Youcheng followed him into Kampot's house, and after closing the door, he asked:

"Uncle Kampot, my question may be a little offensive, but I must ask, are you bold? Is the mouth tight? ”

Gongpot was really unhappy when he heard this, and his face was not very good-looking: "You look down on me Gongbu? ”

"Uncle, don't be angry, I want to verify one thing, it is related to Uncle Tsering's wife, so I have this question."

Kampot's face changed again and again, and he said eagerly: "Do you have news of Bam?" ”

Seeing that Luo Youcheng did not answer immediately, Kampot hurriedly swore again. Luo Youcheng grabbed his hand and said:

"I'm not sure if this person is Bam, it's miserable, are you mentally prepared?"

"Look." Kampot gritted his teeth and said.

"This was captured by my men risking their lives." Luo Youcheng released a video of a naked woman, her mouth, eyes, nose and ears were sewn up by fine vines, her skin was bruised, her whole body was swollen, as if she had been soaked in water for an unknown amount of time, and her belly was as big as a ten-month-old fetus.

"Is it Barm?"

"It's her." Kampot's voice trembled, "She has a mole on her left cheek. ”

Luo Youcheng turned off the image, and the scene behind it was not something that anyone could bear.

"What happened to her?"

"She's dead, her internal organs and muscle tissue have all liquefied, wrapped in a layer of skin. She will be sucked dry by the dragon and turned into a skeleton covered in skin, which will be used as the drum surface for the tambourine. ”

Kampot felt like he was going to suffocate, and opened his mouth, a long howl already brewing in his throat. An invisible hand covered his mouth.

"You promised me," Luo Youcheng shook his head slightly at him, "besides, your friend is next door." ”

Kampot held back the sound that was about to burst through his throat, his body trembled, and it took ten minutes for him to try to calm down.

"You don't need to tell Uncle Tsering, I think he guessed the result a long time ago."

Kampot was about to say yes when Medoram's voice came from the door: "Abba, Abba Pubu said they were in trouble. ”
