The fat woman said, "Little brother, you must be injured, right?" Why don't you come home with me first, and my father and mother will cook some food for you. ”

Chu Yaocen thought about it, and estimated that he should not be able to find his way up for a while, so it was better to find a place to rest for a while and heal the injury on his leg. So he nodded: "Then I'll trouble you." ”

The fat woman smiled innocently, and took Chu Yaocen home with her father.

They walked downstream along the riverbank, and at last a village appeared in front of them, with a few houses scattered and no one in sight.

Chu Yaocen looked around and asked the old lady, "Auntie, is there only one of you living in the village of three?" ”

The old lady shook her head: "Of course not, there are people living in every house we have here, and the patriarch is also there, but it's so late today, and everyone doesn't come out at home, and it's not peaceful at night." Our patriarch is a very powerful woman, so I will take you to meet her tomorrow, maybe she will be able to send you up. ”

Chu Yaocen actually felt a little strange...... Looking at the sun, it's just past noon, how can it be said that it's night?

He thought about it for a while, and guessed that this was probably the custom of these people. So he nodded: "Well, thank you so much." ”

The family of three lives on the shady side of the mountain, and the whole thatched house is under the sun, and the sun does not shine at all. The fat woman ran over and knocked on the door first, shouting, "Ah Fen, we're back!" ”

After shouting, someone in the room came over to open the door scolding, because Chu Yaocen didn't understand their words very well, and now he couldn't see the movements of the people in the room, so he couldn't guess what she was scolding, but he should be very unhappy when he heard the tone.

A moment later, a woman who was also very fat came over to open the door for them, her face was originally full of anger, but the moment she saw Chu Yaocen, she was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Is this the guest who came today?" ”

The fat woman who came with her happily replied, "Yes, we rescued it from the river." ”

"Ali, you've done a great thing." That Ah Fen seemed to be happy again, praised another fat woman, and hurriedly turned sideways to let Chu Yaocen in, "Please come in." ”

Chu Yaocen thanked a few people and walked into the room, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he hurriedly retreated, because a damp and moldy smell came to his face, mixed with other smells, Chu Yaocen couldn't say it, anyway, it was very terrible, it seemed to be the smell of death.

"Go in, what are you doing in a daze?" The old man beckoned.

Chu Yaocen twisted his brows slightly, and finally walked in. This room was very dark, and there were no windows, and Chu Yaocen could only see a few chairs, a table, and two beds in this dark room, and he couldn't see anything else. He didn't know if it was appropriate for him to speak, so he endured it for a while, but he didn't hold back, and said, "Why don't you light the lamp?" ”

"Lighting the lamp? What is Lighting? That Ah Fen asked.

Chu Yaocen was very strange, thought about it, and replied to her: "What about the fire?" What do you use for lighting at night? ”

"How terrible the fire is, we don't need it!" When Ali heard the "fire", she suddenly showed a frightened expression, she shook her head decisively, and said, "Don't fire, it's enough for us to have the moon." ”

Chu Yaocen has really seen a lot, but he didn't expect that there are still people who are afraid of fire, and this is no longer ordinary fear, it is simply a pathological fear.

Since people are afraid of fire, he can't say anything anymore, Ali asked him to sit down and rest for a while, Chu Yaocen sat down, and then the old couple went over to cook, Ali and Ah Fen sat down and looked at Chu Yaocen.

The two of them seemed to be particularly interested in him, and Ali first asked Chu Yaocen, "Did you fall from above?" ”

Chu Yaocen nodded, but his eyes were looking at the old couple, he wanted to know how these people were afraid of fire and how they cooked.

"What do you look like out there?" Ah Fen also asked.

Chu Yaocen came back to his senses, glanced at the two of them, and asked rhetorically, "You guys are so big, haven't you ever gone up?" ”

Ah Li and Ah Fen shook their heads together, and Ah Fen said: "We are here, only the patriarch has the divine power to go up, and we can't go up." ”

"But someone will fall," Ali said excitedly, taking her words, "Most of them fell and were broken to pieces, and some of them didn't fall to their deaths, and they didn't live for a few days, and they couldn't walk." I've only seen two people like you who can still walk and talk, one is the woman who fell two years ago, and the other is you. ”

Chu Yaocen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and asked her, "Will you save those who are dying on the shore?" ”

It seemed that it took a lot of effort for the two of them to understand what Chu Yaocen was saying, so Ah Fen nodded and said, "They will be saved, as long as they don't die, we will bring them back." ”

Ali added, "But within a few days, they died. ”

"Then that woman, why don't you bring her back?" Chu Yaocen continued to ask.

"The woman?" Ah Fen pouted: "She's sick, she eats the dead." ”

"What about besides eating the dead? What else do you know about her? ”

The two of them thought for a while, and then they both shook their heads: "I don't know." ”

Chu Yaocen responded: "If you don't know, forget it, thank you." ”

After he finished writing, the two of them continued what they had just said and asked Chu Yaocen, "What's out there?" Is it big outside? What do you all eat? I have heard the patriarch say, "There is always day and no night in your place." ”

When Chu Yaocen heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, what kind of wrong concept is this patriarch popularizing? It is estimated that she wants to maintain her prestige in the hearts of the villagers, so she will talk so nonsense, but in fact, she may not have gone out at all.

Chu Yaocen saw that the two of them were really curious, so he slowly talked to the two of them, showing the style of the outside world in every detail.

I don't know how long I talked about it, but Chu Yaocen actually felt sleepy while talking, and this kind of sleepiness seemed to be different from all the previous sleepiness, it seemed a little strange, a little sudden......

He suddenly thought that maybe he had fallen into some trap, so he quickly got up and wanted to go out, but then he heard the old woman who was cooking there say, "Old man, your medicine is a little light today, you see that the person has not fallen now." ”

"It's almost there, look, isn't he down?" When the old man said a word, Chu Yaocen felt lightheaded, and it was almost difficult to move half a step, and after a while, he passed out.

When he woke up again, Chu Yaocen still felt a splitting headache, and his body seemed to be completely unable to move, only to hear someone in his ear say: "This person is so fresh, where do we start eating?" ”

"Daddy, don't eat him, Ah Fen and I like him so much, we want to live with him." This voice is Ali's.

Chu Yaocen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the four people surrounding him: "What do you want to do?" ”

Ali hurriedly went to comfort Chu Yaocen and said, "Don't be afraid of me, my father and mother won't eat you, you can live with us." ”

Chu Yaocen moved his arm and found that he had been firmly trapped and couldn't move. He wondered if he was dreaming...... Wasn't it okay just now? Why did you get up after sleeping and become like this?

It shouldn't be a dream, he suddenly thought of what he said to Qingdi before: When you arrive in Miaojiang, there are many strange things, don't be afraid. Here, everything that is strange, that can't be called strange.

Chu Yaocen figured it out, and accepted the reality. He looked down and saw that the rope in his hand was nothing more than ordinary hemp rope, and it was not a problem for him to break free. But he now has a leg injury, and if he comes hard, he may suffer.

The thoughts in his mind turned around a few times, and then he regained his weak appearance, and said, "It turns out that you are all man-eating monsters like the woman outside." ”

"No, no, no, we are not the same," said the old woman, who quickly shook her head, "She eats the dead, and we eat the living." ”

The old man also answered, scolded his two daughters, and said, "We haven't opened meat for a long time, and we finally found one, and you two took a fancy to it!" It's really unfilial! ”

After scolding, he grabbed his wife's arm and said, "Old woman, let's go out again to see if there is anything else to eat, today, good luck!" ”

After saying that, the two went out, and Ah Fen hurriedly went over and fastened the door from the inside.

Chu Yaocen listened to the footsteps outside, and when he saw the two people gradually walking away, he also sat up.

In fact, he just estimated that there should be no problem at all in dealing with this family, but considering that he has an injury on his leg, even if he is not in the way, he can't force it, so as not to fall into any hidden diseases in the future, and drag his little fox to take care of him when he gets old.

So what can be done with the brain, try not to do it.

He sat up and said to the two, "You two won't eat me, will you?" ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads and said, "If you don't eat or eat, we still have to live with you, just like my father and mother, and have children." ”

Chu Yaocen smiled slightly, this smile seemed to bring a ray of sunlight to the dim room, and he asked, "You two?" You may not know that in our outside world, a man can only live with one woman, and if he does, he will be thundered by the sky. So I can only choose one of the two of you. ”

Ah Fen and Ah Li looked at each other again, and Ah Li suddenly stood up and said, "I found this person, you are not allowed to fight with me." ”

Ah Fen also stood up and said, "I'm better than you, I went out hunting for eight days, and you only went out for one day, this day is just your luck!" He should be mine. ”

The two of them argued, and they both turned their heads and asked Chu Yaocen, "Which one do you choose?" ”

Chu Yaocen looked at the two of them and said with some reluctance: "Although I like both of you very much, I prefer Ali, after all, she met me first, so as long as Ali is alive, I will not choose anyone else." ”

Chu Yaocen deliberately bit the sentence "As long as Ali is alive", Ah Fen suddenly showed a fierce gaze and stared directly at Ali.
