I glanced at Brother Fengyu and didn't understand what the old woman meant.

The old woman squinted at us and showed a sneer, "The girls in the village will pursue the guy they like when they meet them, it's not a big deal, I did it when I was young." Xue Na is the granddaughter of the village chief, and she is the most beautiful girl in the village. ”

I don't know what the old woman thought, she struck the ground twice with her cane, and turned around and walked towards the courtyard. Brother Fengyu and I could only follow her with the doubts in our hearts.

"You two can live here." The old woman pointed to the wooden house of more than ten square meters on the right, "Let's go and put down the things first, and then come to the kitchen for dinner." ”

"Okay." I nodded, and walked into the wooden house with Brother Fengyu, which looked like it could collapse when the wind blew. Because it has been eroded by rain all year round, the wood is pitch black.

Not only was the house damp, but it also smelled musty. Turning on the phone's searchlight revealed a plastic rope hanging from a rusty key behind the wooden door. With a slight pull of the rope, the incandescent light in the center of the room lit up, and the dim light was not bright, but it was barely possible to see the scene inside the room.

For about a minute, the incandescent light was much brighter than it started because of the continuous heat. I put my things away and looked around before leaving the house.

The kitchen is very basic. A large fire pit, the pot and pot were threaded with wire and fell on the pit. Except for neatly heaped piles of wood and pine wool and dried corn, all that remained of the room was a knee-high black square table with a greasy smell and a few wooden piers.

When Brother Fengyu and I entered the kitchen, the old woman was sitting by the fire pit, holding his simple cane in one hand.

Hearing the footsteps, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at us, and said unceremoniously: "The rice is by the fire pit, the bowls, chopsticks, and rice spoons are in the basin next to them, and the vegetables are in the pot." ”

After speaking, the old woman looked at the dancing flames in silence, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.

After glancing at Brother Fengyu, I walked to the big basin and took out the rice spoon from it and brought out the rice bowl and vegetable bowl. Putting the bowl on the small table, Brother Fengyu took the rice spoon. He served the meal, and I picked it up later.

When the meal was arranged, the old woman was not polite and sat down at the table.

During the whole process, she did not have the consciousness of the master at all.

Sitting down with the rice, looking at the dishes on the table that did not look good, and the rice that was a little blue in the bowl, I was tired and hungry after a long day, but suddenly lost my appetite.

I tentatively took a bite of the rice, which was even more unpalatable than expected, astringent and bitter, and smelled of musty and rotten rice.

But looking at the old woman's skillful movements, she didn't care about her appearance, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only swallow it in her stomach, and she didn't even dare to chew it, for fear of tasting the strange taste of rice.

I finally waited until the old woman finished eating and left the kitchen, and almost the moment the old woman went out, I put down the bowl, covered my mouth and retched.

Brother Fengyu also put down the bowl and reached out to pat my back: "Are you okay?" ”

"Something." It's a big deal!

I finally waited for a little better, and then I raised my head to look at what I had just eaten, because of the physiological reaction, with tears in my eyes, and my vision was a little blurry.

I didn't dare to look at it carefully, but now that the old woman is gone, I picked up the chopsticks and dialed the rice.

"I'm !!"

It's okay if you don't dial it, but this time it's another burst of uncontrollable retching. There are even rice worms in the rice!

looked at the only bowl of dishes, and pulled it with a weird mood-

"Lean !!"

My hand holding the chopsticks trembled, turned my head to look at Brother Fengyu, saw my pale and distorted face from his pupils, and asked in a dumb voice, "Brother Fengyu, have you eaten this thing?" ”

He shook his head slightly, "I didn't eat anything but rice." ”

After hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, there are only rice worms in the rice, but in this bowl of stewed meat, there are really a lot of sandworms and white maggots! Is this kind of stuff edible?

A cold air climbed up the tail bone, put down the chopsticks, and I looked at the simple kitchen blankly, "Brother Fengyu, this White Bone Village is really special, do everyone usually eat these things?" ”

"Our village eats these things!"

An eerie voice came from behind him, shriveled and very harsh. Brother Fengyu and I looked back at the old woman who suddenly appeared in embarrassment.

The old woman walked in with a cold snort holding the crutches in her hand, and stood in front of me and looked at us condescendingly, "If you can't get used to it, you can not eat, next time the old woman won't call you!" The harvest in the village is not good, as long as you can eat everything, not to mention the sandworms in the stinky ditch, the white maggots in the rotten meat, and the bark and soil of the trees when you are hungry! "Even if it's!

Looking at the old woman's cold eyes, I looked away and grabbed Brother Fengyu, and apologized with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, we didn't know much about it when we first came, we are full, so we will ...... first." Out? ”

She snorted, put down her crutches to clean up the table, and when she ignored us, I pulled Brother Fengyu out of the kitchen as if she were running away.

Without going back to our accommodation, we left the old woman's house and walked along the mountain road while thinking about what had happened today.

The sky was already dark, the moon was blocked by the mountains, and the line of sight was out of reach, and the entire White Bone Village was like a huge bottle, trapping people inside, with no way to escape.

As I walked, I put my hand over my mouth and exhaled, smelling the musty smell left behind after eating in my mouth, and retched.

As he walked, he sat down on a grassy field.

I casually put the mobile phone that still had no signal on the grass, lay down with open arms, and Brother Fengyu sat beside me.

I looked at the stars looming in the sky and said, "Hey, Brother Fengyu, do you say that the White Bone Village is really so poor?" It's not prey in the mountains, is it? They can make a living by hunting. Moreover, if the existence is built in this kind of place, there are cliffs on all sides, and the small world above the head is negligible. Do you say that this village was originally chosen to avoid some disaster, so it chose such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack location. ”

It is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the only entrance is the road at the entrance of the village.

Big Brother Fengyu thought for a while before replying: "Maybe, this village is indeed very suspicious, who would build a house in such a place where there is no light." ”

That's why it's weird! But-"The old village chief's reaction today is too strange, why did he hide that Liu Yi and the others had come to the village, and what happened to Liu Yi and them after they came to the village?" ”

"But before I go to find out Liu Yi's case," I touched my shriveled stomach, "Brother Fengyu, I'm hungry, let's go hunting outside the village tomorrow morning, we can't really eat that thing." ”

"Okay."

"Hmm."

The food problem was solved, and the person was relieved. As soon as I relaxed, I was suddenly startled, and I suddenly got up and slapped my thigh hard.

"That's not right! Wrong! There is one more doubt! We've been in the White Bone Village for so long, why haven't we seen a young man! "It's all old people, children and women! What about men?! Where did the man go!
