Chapter 43: The Ghost Song: 43
Wang Shan and Wen Jin were in a complicated mood at this time, and they couldn't tell whether they were giving up on themselves or running out of gas, but they had to go forward step by step, and they were almost like the walking dead.
At this moment, the light of the torches in front of them suddenly dimmed, and Keiko and the two turned behind the corner of the road. Immediately afterward, Wang Shan heard Keiko's lovely natural voice shouting, "It's here!" The gear packs are all here. ”
Hearing this, Wang Shan and Wen Jin didn't care to look at each other, put aside the suspicion just now, and staggered forward.
Because they were so thirsty and hungry, the thought of having water and food immediately made them feel that their bodies were not their own, as if the place was magnetic, and they were all people with magnets tied to their bodies, and they were dragged by a strong attraction.
Turning the corner was a ruined room, with several male bodies wrapped in the rubble, looking a little chaotic. The corpses were all dressed in black tights like old men, and they wore miner's lamp hats on their heads.
At this time, what attracted their attention the most was the large equipment bag on the back of the corpse, each of which was bulging.
According to the old man, most of them are food and water, but he doesn't know what kind of food and water it is.
Wen Jin said that he is now in urgent need of protein supplements, and he has to eat meat. Water, if you want to drink carbonated drinks that can directly ingest amino acids, Sprite Coke or something is perfect!
Keiko helped the old man to sit aside, opened a man's body, and took off her backpack. Wang Shan and Wen Jin were both waiting a little urgently, and looked forward on their tiptoes, but neither dared to go over and approach the corpse.
These corpses are flesh and blood corpses that have just died, and they have a different nature from those skeletal skeletons that can be broken when stepped on, which makes people weak and resistant. Think about it, although they are all dead people, dry bones and corpses are really different.
Keiko took the equipment bag and took a step back, then suddenly turned back to look at the corpse, motionless. For a few tens of seconds, Wang Shan and Wen Jin looked at her, and at the same time felt confused, even if they couldn't wait to see what was in the equipment bag, they didn't dare to urge Keiko.
Because they also realize that Keiko doesn't take an interest in a dead body for no reason, and guesses that this is someone she knows.
For a moment there was silence all around, except for the sound of torches and the snorting of each other.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Wang Shan seems to have heard Keiko's crying voice, and Miao's tears are dripping down her chin.
Wang Shan thought to herself, could it be that the man who died was the boyfriend Keiko was looking for? I didn't expect the meeting between the two to be like this, it's really sad!
The old man was a little dazed, and after gasping for breath, he found that Keiko was in a daze at a corpse, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and looked at Keiko and shouted, "What is Keiko looking at?" ”
Keiko was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, but to Wang Shan and Wen Jin's surprise, she did not wipe her tears or howl as they thought, but seemed to turn her head with a mysterious smile, raised her sleeves and touched her mouth, as if wiping saliva.
Seeing this, Wang Shan and Wen Jin looked at each other and smiled, thinking that they had bumped into a tragedy in the world, but it was just a false alarm.
It is estimated that Keiko, like them, has golden flowers in her hungry eyes and her soul is not possessed.
Keiko brought the equipment bag over, picked up some sawdust sticks, and simply built a bonfire on the ground, so that the four of them could gather around the campfire to keep warm, and then began to taste "food".
This moment is so exciting and exciting.
Wang Shan and Wen Jin were both staring at the equipment bag, but after Keiko unfastened the backpack, what she took out was an inexplicable utensil. The more Wang Shan and Wen Jin looked at it, the more panicked they became, they couldn't bear it anymore, snatched the backpack from Keiko's hand and flipped it upside down.
With a bang, everything was dumped out, and the long-awaited items appeared. - It turned out to be bags of compressed biscuits and kettles about the size of bricks.
Looking at the shivering thing in front of her, Wang Shan couldn't help but be a little disappointed! But I feel relieved. Wen Jin glanced at the old man without slashing, and complained: "Old guy, this is what you said about sweet wine and the valley of the stomach?" ”
The old man knew that he was embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "The ......, those who take wealth do not seek the pleasure of one day, and those who take the way do not seek a moment of success." There are delicacies in the valley, and there are also bitter and astringent chaff in the wine! If you can quench your hunger and thirst, you will be a ...... of fine wine. ”
Wang Shan felt that the old man's words were a bit perfunctory, but she had to admit that what he said was also very reasonable. There are so many things to eat in this world, and the so-called delicacies don't feel so unusual when you're not hungry. And when you are hungry and half dead, even a bowl of rice bran boiled egg shells will make you feel delicious and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless.
Wen Jin still couldn't accept the brick-like compressed biscuits, and turned his head to look at the other dead corpses in the ruins, trying to find other equipment packs.
At this time, the old man said that there was no need to look for it, and the equipment they were assigned was the same.
For the sake of ease of movement, it is impossible for these tomb robbers to pack a few boiled meat slices and brine pig's trotters while carrying a large number of equipment.
Being able to eat a bag of compressed biscuits is already considered a five-star treatment in the ancient tomb. Sometimes, in the process of robbing tombs, they will even eat coffin slabs and wall ash on the tomb walls because they are trapped or lost, and drink their own excrement water.
Wen Jin muttered when he heard it, and asked Chi Chi: "I won't raise the bar with you if the coffin board can be eaten, but the wall ash that paints the wall can be eaten?" ”
The old man said, "That's what you don't understand!" In the Han and Tang dynasties, when the country's economy was abundant, most of the wall plaster used to paint the walls of the tomb was made of glutinous rice paste. In that year, Yang Liulang fought in the decisive battle of White Emperor City and almost died on the battlefield. It was his white horse that carried him to an ancient temple. Bai Ma tore off a piece of wall ash and wrapped it in rainwater and threw it to Yang Liulang, who survived by eating the wall ash made of glutinous rice. This is the allusion to the Jedi Sewing.
After listening to the old man's story, Wang Shan had a great understanding, thinking about what happened to them now, it was not much different from Yang Liulang, who was injured and killed.
Speaking of death, this compressed biscuit is better than wall ash, what else is it picky about? I don't have that condition at all.
Wen Jin also gradually gave up, and reluctantly picked up a compressed biscuit and knocked it on the wall brick, making a crunching sound. "But old man, do you say this thing is so hard that you can bite it?"
The old man didn't say much, and asked Keiko to tear open a bag of compressed biscuits, and a thick sweet fragrance came to her nose in an instant.
The aroma is completely different from the meat aroma of boiled mushrooms, and there is a natural sweetness, simple and real.
Compressed biscuits should not be eaten at the same time, otherwise the stomach will be damaged by the pressure of expansion.
I don't necessarily be able to bite it.
