Chapter Eighty-Six: The Land of Humans and Ghosts
After waiting for nearly three hours, the rain stopped, and at this time, at 4 o'clock, we got off the car, Lan Ruoxi carried the prepared backpack, which contained some useful things.
Ji Yun'er took the lead and flew over.
Then Lan Ruoxi and I sat on Xiao Hei's shoulders respectively, and it took the two of us and jumped over all of a sudden.
Then, I fixed it on Xiao Hei's back, although I couldn't stand it, the smell on its body, but I could only endure it temporarily.
"Xiao Hei, be careful when you act."
Ji Yun'er said, floated up, and moved forward leisurely, Lan Ruoxi could only use it, I looked over.
"It's okay, Qingyuan, wait a while, rest, and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Looking at Lan Ruoxi, I only felt that she was a girl's family, so there was no need to come with her and suffer this crime.
The little black was jumping up, but I didn't feel uncomfortable, it was jumping very carefully, that is, under the buttocks, there was mud splashing from time to time, and it was cool.
The surrounding scenery is very desolate, there is no green in sight, it is a large area of brown and yellow, there are many barren fields, the river is yellow, and it looks lifeless.
But after walking for a while, all of a sudden, I saw, a bush, I blinked, and the road turned to the left, and as soon as I turned around, I was immediately surprised.
"Look, here, that's it, a place where ghosts and people coexist, hundreds of years ago, that's it."
In front of me is a very strange town, especially the buildings, not only the ancient kind, red brick and green tile houses, but also modern buildings, all kinds, I don't know, which dynasty and which generation of buildings, mixed.
Looking past, the whole town, given a cross, divided, a long downhill road, I saw green terraces, just on either side of the road.
We started to go downhill, in the terraces, someone was busy, I looked over, suddenly, a farmer, turned his head, I almost didn't call out, his face, just hanging, showing red flesh, looking at us with a smile.
The farmer put down his hoe, and at once plucked a bunch of grapes from a terraced field where the grapes were grown, and ran over in a hurry.
"Outsiders, taste it, fresh grapes."
The grapes are green, just picked off, looking really fresh, Lan Ruoxi, didn't think much about it, took out the money, and after paying 5 yuan, the ghost farmer left satisfied.
Lan Ruoxi took it directly, and ate it, my eyes widened.
"Let's follow the customs, Qingyuan, grapes, it's very sweet." As he spoke, he handed one over, and I was a little reluctant, so I opened my mouth and ate one, indeed, very sweet.
"Don't worry, Qingyuan, the place, although there are mixed people, but the food is fine."
A man pushing a trolley approached, and I fixed my eyes on it, it should be a person, he put down the cart with a straw hat, put on his boots, and stepped into the terraces.
"Guest, come here, remember to eat a bowl, my mutton noodles, very delicious."
As soon as we passed by the man, he started selling.
"Where?" Lan Ruoxi actually accosted, I glanced at her, grunted, her stomach screamed, looking at her embarrassed appearance, the farmer in the field, laughed.
"Oh, just to the west, the sixth shop on the road, Zhouji Mutton Shop."
As soon as I entered the town, the streets were full of people, mixed with a lot of ghosts, and there were many children, who were not afraid at all when they saw those ghosts with broken hands and feet and blue faces, and they were still playing happily with them.
And the people on the street, dressed in all kinds of clothes, ancient and modern, are mixed.
"Some ghosts have lived here for hundreds of years." Ji Yuna said.
"Guest, buy some flowers."
A little boy, dressed in ancient coarse cloth clothes, carrying a basket of flowers and a small braid, walked over, Lan Ruoxi bought two, he nodded excitedly and thanked him, and left.
Finally came to Zhouji mutton shop, it is an ancient shop, there are several large tables in it, there are many people and ghosts, are eating, the boss is an old ghost with a blue face, the face, basically unrecognizable, like a ball of noodles, twisted together.
I swallowed a mouthful, Lan Ruoxi seemed to be fine, walked over, and ordered three bowls of mutton noodles, some mutton, and wine.
"Girl, we are here, but there are decades of aged osmanthus wine, do you want a small pot?"
Lan Ruoxi nodded.
We found a table near the window, sat down, and after a while, a ghost man, came over with his face, he was tall, and looked like, nothing different, except for his pale face.
The fragrant, hot mutton noodles came up, and the guy bent over, poof, and his left eye fell into my bowl, and I let out a sigh and wink.
"Damn, puppy, what are you doing?" The ghost boss saw it, walked over, aimed at the ghost guy, slapped it, and hit it, and his other eyeball also flew out and fell on the table, and the eyeball was still turning.
"Damn, puppy, how many times has this been? Let you get some adhesive tape, put the eyes, glue it. ”
Then the little dog took his two eyeballs back and put them in his eyes, and I looked at the face, although I was hungry, but my heart was not a taste.
Lan Ruoxi changed her noodles with mine, and immediately ate them.
"It's delicious."
My ahh
"Qingyuan, it's okay, it's not just a ghost's eyeball, and it's not a thing."
I ate it, indeed, this noodle is delicious, and all of a sudden, the whole sitting guest burst into laughter, and we looked over, the ghost guy called the puppy, the upper and lower eyelids of his eyes, were glued with adhesive tape, and his eyes could only be squinted, looking very funny, it was the ghost boss who glued it to him.
"Alright, puppy, don't tear it off."
Then the boss came over with apologies in his eyes.
"Huh? Guest, why don't you just eat, hey, why don't you wait for me to change the bowl for you. ”
I sighed, looked at Lan Ruoxi, and had already eaten not much of the noodles left.
"It's okay, boss, I'm not picky."
I looked at Lan Ruoxi with resentment, this doesn't seem to be a matter of picking or not, right?
Then, the boss kept accompanying us and only charged us half of the money.
Lan Ruoxi seems to be in a very good mood, it will be more than six o'clock, we have to find a place to stay, I tried my best to persuade the two of us to rest for two days, and then go to Evil Yin Mountain.
"Which one are you going to live in?"
Ji Yuna asked.
In front of me, there are two living quarters, one is a two-story ancient inn with lanterns and red walls and green tiles, and the other side is a five-storey, modern building.
"Guest, come to us, see that you are here to travel, we are an inn in the Song Dynasty, everything is available, you modern people, you have not seen it, you must open your eyes, 50 a night."
The owner of the ancient shop, it seems, is nothing unusual, except for his blue face, he can see that he is a ghost.
"Phew, guest, don't listen to him, you know? The pillow is porcelain, especially hard, the quilt is also very thin, and the bed board is also hard, you must have a sore back after sleeping for a night. ”
The owner of the modern shop, walked out, a fat man, my eyes widened, his stomach, there was a bloody hole, intestines, left outside, I almost threw up, I had to stop in a hurry.
"Guest, come to our store, look at such a disgusting guy, can you sleep at night?"
"Phew, Zhang Dongnian, how much better did you look before? If people see you, I'm sure I won't be able to eat. ”
Looking at the two ghost bosses, arguing, we finally chose the modern one, the room, although shabby, but Simmons, big TV, and bathroom, also very clean.
"This Mao Zhuang, come down with me, underground, there is a special house for zombies."
Lan Ruoxi stared at the ghost boss with a thoughtful look.
"Many of the ghosts here are at the level of intimidating green ghosts, so don't make trouble, with my current ability, I can't take care of you." Ji Yuna reminded again.
We asked for a double room, all the way over, to be forced, bought a lot of things, there are gadgets, snacks, and even one in a plastic box, pet toad, and a bundle of straw, I don't know, this thing, what are you buying for?
Suddenly, downstairs, there was a commotion, we came to the window, and looked, an adult ghost, gathered together, one of them was a woman in a white dress, tightly hugging her child.
"This is the rule, hand over your child, anyway, if you die, you can be with you."
"I don't want it, it's my child, I beg you."
"Miss, don't be like this, here, this is the land of people and ghosts, what is the difference between dead and alive?" What I saw was a green-robed Taoist priest, walking over, and there was a ghost, and the two of them tore at the woman and pulled the five or six-year-old boy who was crying in her arms.
"In a few days, it will be a human and ghost sacrifice, and now the number is not enough, so don't make any more trouble, since everyone is here, you must abide by the rules."
The woman squatted on the ground and cried out, and many people and ghosts went over to comfort her.
Lan Ruoxi stared sharply at the noisy crowd below.
"Little girl, don't be nosy."
"What is a human and ghost sacrifice?"
Ji Yun'er smiled.
"Don't ask, get ready to rest, it's almost the same as the New Year, landing on the ground, it's some people, escaping from the world, it's a paradise place, there is no dispute with the world, people and ghosts coexist, but, no matter how happy the place is, there will always be a little tragedy, listen well, you two, no matter what you see or hear, stay honest with me, otherwise, I will tie you two up."
Ji Yun'er said, glaring at me and Lan Ruoxi.
I nodded, looked at Lan Ruoxi next to her, she was still silent, looked down, and saw that the woman's child was put into a jar, and then, someone, covered with a lid, with a few small holes on it, two ghosts, carrying the child, left.
