On the surface, these are three plates of fragrant red meat, two plates of plain greens, and three bowls of rice.

But in the fragrant meat dishes, I smelled a faint trace of blood.

Sensing the abnormality, I picked up my chopsticks and took two glances at the rice in the bowl, only to find that half of the raw rice grains were sandwiched in the rice.

Half cooked, half raw, half and half, just the right proportions.

This is a typical ghost food, that is, something that is offered to the ghost to eat, it is estimated that three plates of meat dishes, two plates of vegetarian dishes, are also half-cooked and half-cooked, if you eat too much of this kind of thing, it will make the ghost go on the body.

Lin'er didn't know if it was because of her lack of experience in the rivers and lakes, or because she was too ashamed in her heart, so that it affected her normal thinking, so she picked up the bowl as soon as possible and had to eat with chopsticks on the spot.

I quickly picked up my chopsticks and tapped on the rim of her bowl.

Lin'er was startled and glanced at me, and then her face was red again, and she asked timidly: "What are you...... What does this do? ”

This girl's skin is very white, so once she blushes, the red is also very obvious.

I sighed inwardly and reminded her, "Look at the rice in the bowl. ”

Lin'er was stunned for a moment, and then turned over the rice grains in the bowl, and found that the rice in her hand was half-cooked, she was also shocked, and then flipped through the other dishes on the table.

As expected, these dishes are also half-cooked and half-cooked.

Lin'er put down her chopsticks and whispered to Granny Gu, "It's a ghost for food!" ”

Turns out she knows these things, too.

Granny Gu glanced at the curtain of the kitchen door and frowned vigorously: "The person who prepared the meal for us is not well-intentioned." ”

I waved my hand, shook my head and said, "The chef didn't mean to harm us, such a raw meal, as long as you are not a fool, you can find the problem at a glance, if the other party really wants to harm us, this method is also inferior." I guess the chef here must have unconsciously made the food into a ghost feed. ”

Granny Gu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and smiled at me: "If it doesn't make sense." ”

After speaking, she turned to Lin'er again, and said with a smile: "You see I didn't lie to you, he is very clever, more clever than your senior brothers." ”

Lin'er glanced at me and nodded silently.

I had to remind Granny Gu: "Mother-in-law, we're here to get down to business." ”

If you want to say that Gu Po is really, when is this, you still have the heart to think about something else!

Fortunately, Granny Gu also took care of it and asked me in a low voice, "What are your plans now?" ”

I glanced at the man behind the counter, glanced at the kitchen again, and after a moment of thought, I asked Granny Gu, "Mother-in-law, are you sure that the people here are in the Gu?" ”

Granny Gu didn't dare to give an affirmative answer: "Nine times out of ten, I don't dare to close the coffin now." This place has a lot of ears, let's find a quiet place to talk. ”

We didn't plan to eat this table of half-lived rice anyway, so we asked the man to take us upstairs and open two rooms.

The layout of the room is very simple, just a table, a bench, a bed, and a basin for washing hands and face, but fortunately, the bed is still clean, so that I don't have to take out my sleeping bag again.

After the man went downstairs, I came to Granny Gu and Lin'er's room with my luggage, and everyone got together to discuss what to do next.

During this period, I learned about the situation in the village from Granny Gu, and I heard her say that since the New Year has just passed this year, there have been many strange things in the village.

First of all, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Laosan took a firewood knife and hacked his wife, children and brother and sister-in-law to death, that He Laosan is a well-known honest person in the village, kind, and the family is also very harmonious, no one can figure out why he did such a fierce thing. Later, the people in the village went to the county seat to report to the police, and when the police came to arrest him, he died.

No one knows how He Laosan died, he just suddenly lost his breath and his heart stopped beating, and a moment ago, he asked his guards for water pumping.

In January, there was a girl surnamed Xu in the east of the village, and her newborn child was buried alive, her mother-in-law was going to stop her, but she broke her leg, if it wasn't for the villagers even if they arrived, maybe she would have been killed.

And this Miss Xu is still alive now, but she has lost her mind and is locked up in an old building and is not allowed to come out.

In February and March, in these two months, there were two murders in a row in the village.

In the case of February, two farmer men quarreled over a field, and then there was a big fight, and one man was so anxious that he slit the throat of the other with a hoe, causing the other to die instantly. The murderer also died, and it is said that he absconded in fear of crime, and entered the mountain in the middle of the night, but because it was too dark, he fell into the water and drowned alive.

In the case of March, a family of five hanged themselves on the night of March 3, and by the time the villagers found them, their bodies were already smelling.

Because these cases are very strange, after Granny Gu learned the news, she brought people to the local area to investigate, but she didn't expect that the people in the entire village seemed to have lost their souls, and they became confused one by one.

She invited the wizard of the Eighteen Mountains to come and see, and the wizard said that the villagers might have been cursed, and tried to take the curse, but later they couldn't unravel it, and said that the villagers might have been hit by Gu. Granny Gu tried to pick up the Gu, although she couldn't unravel it, but the "things" on the villagers seemed to have been curbed to a certain extent, and everyone regained some consciousness a little.

It was precisely because of this that the people of the Eighteen Mountains believed that the locals must have fallen for some kind of strange Gu, and set up a large array of witch Gu in an attempt to temporarily suppress the strange Gu.

After listening to Granny Gu's words, I couldn't help but ask: "And then, the people of Nine Miles and Eighteen Mountains, just leave?" ”

Granny Gu said: "They went back to their mountain to visit Lao Si and look for a way to receive Gu. ”

I nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In other words, for the situation in the village, in fact, the people of the Nine Miles and Eighteen Mountains can't say a word. ”

Hearing me say this, Granny Gu smiled: "It's not wrong for you to say that, but if this kind of thing is heard by those old stubborns in the Eighteen Mountains, you will be in big trouble." ”

"While it's still dark, I plan to take a look around the village now and get to the bottom of it." I quickly pulled the conversation back: "Where is that woman surnamed Xu being held?" ”

Granny Gu pushed Lin'er's shoulders and sent her to me, and said to me with a smile: "You go with Lin'er, she is familiar with the situation in this area." I'm old and my legs are inconvenient, so I won't toss with you young people. ”

I felt that Granny Gu must have bad intentions when she pushed this girl to me, so I asked Lin'er: "Are you familiar with the situation here in the village?" ”

This girl looks relatively innocent, so she shouldn't lie to me.

Lin'er was still a little shy, and she didn't look up at me, just nodded and said, "I used to come here." ”

Since she is more familiar with the local situation, let's take her with you.

Lin'er and I walked out of the room one after the other, and when I went out, although I didn't look back, I still vaguely felt the ill-intentioned gaze of Granny Gu.

It wasn't until I left the inn that Granny Gu couldn't see us, so I breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lin'er: "When you came here before, did you feel that there were some places in the village...... How to put it, it's just not normal. ”

Lin'er blushed and bowed her head silently.

This is troublesome, no matter how familiar you are with this village, but if you don't speak, what's the use of me taking you?

I was secretly helpless for a while, and finally said what was in my heart: "Is Granny Gu planning to make the two of us into a pair?" ”

This was a bit blunt, and Lin'er's head was lowered, and now I couldn't even see what color her face was.

I continued, "The elders naturally have their thoughts, but you don't have to take them too seriously. Besides, the two of us are unmasked, and we were suddenly matched into a couple, not to mention that you are not adaptable, my old man is not adaptable. Besides, I have someone in my heart, and we can't get together. ”

The words were all said and done, but Ke Lin'er still lowered her head and didn't say a word.

I couldn't help but feel a little irritable in my heart, and I was still saying, "I'll tell you, what Granny Gu thinks, you really don't have to care." Otherwise, you can tell me what type you like, and I will help you find one when I go back to Bohai Bay, and ensure that I will catch one that satisfies you. ”

Lin'er laughed out loud: "What do you mean to catch one, it's to catch a little piglet!" ”

When she was willing to speak, I felt much more relaxed, and smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I didn't use the right words." If you don't go to Bohai Bay another day, I'll take you to choose, we lack everything else in Bohai Bay, but there is no shortage of people. But if you want to go to Bohai Bay, we have to solve the things in front of us first, and only then can we have the spirit to think about anything else. ”

The smile on Lin'er's face widened, but she didn't speak, just stood there far away, smiling quietly at me.

To be honest, in the face of such a handsome woman, as a man, it seems difficult not to be tempted, but it's a pity that my gaze has always been narrow, as long as I fall in love with Shao Kewei, it is difficult to accommodate another person in my eyes.

Although I'm not sure if Shao Kewei is happy or not, he is happy to bird me.

What is called wishful thinking, it is me.

I smiled politely at Lin'er, then avoided her gaze, turned around and walked deeper into the village, and heard Lin'er say in a very small voice behind me: "I can't blame my mother-in-law for this." ”。

After a few moments, she came to me with a light step.

I was quickly scanning the houses on the side of the road and the occasional pedestrians walking by on the road, when Lin'er slowly leaned over and said in a very soft tone: "There is a clearing in the middle of the stockade, and I heard from the locals that the land is so hard that it is impossible to drive piles and build buildings. ”

Her lips were almost touching the base of my ear, and I subconsciously distanced myself from her, and as soon as I took a step back, I felt a little hot in my stomach, but it was probably an illusion, because it only appeared vaguely for a moment, and then disappeared.
