Chapter 29: The Path of Bliss 4
"Perhaps, it's the food in the inn...... It's all so delicious? So everyone is reluctant to put down their chopsticks? The earring boy said, and glanced at the chopsticks with eyeballs on the table downstairs, and immediately lost his confidence: "Maybe, it's just a meal at this time, right?" ......" thought about it and said, "By the way, didn't Anan just go out?" β
Tang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he thought of something, and hesitated: "Anan, he hasn't had time to eat a mouthful of hot food yet......
The earring boy looked at the plate of braised elbows in front of him aggrievedly, and then raised his eyes to look at me with resentment: "So, you mean that as long as you eat the food provided in this inn, you can't stop anymore??" β
I looked down noncommittally and carefully at the table in front of me, the steaming and mouth-watering hearty dishes, and the hungry worms in my stomach were very fierce to deny this possibility.
The young man with the earrings shook his head very melancholy, puzzled: "Impossible, if it is really like what you said, there are only people who come in this store, and there are no people who go out...... Then this inn has long been overcrowded, how can there be so many empty tables left? β
"I don't know, but my gut tells me that we'd better not eat here just yet."
"It's all here, it's not cost-effective not to eat!" The earring boy muttered in a dissatisfied whisper: "You mean, we have been sitting here like fools, staring at the food on this table?!" β
I glanced at the earring boy and felt that it would be stupid for a few of us to sit and stare at each other like this, but I really couldn't do anything to ignore this bad premonition I had, so I compromised: "Or, let's wait for Anan to come back first?" Didn't he just tell us that he had something to confirm? β
Tang Xiaoyu saw that I was asking her opinion, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I-I'm not very hungry, it's okay." β
As she spoke, the falling hand unconsciously unscrewed an old kettle that she had pinched in her hand at some point, and tilted her head slightly to drink the water contained in the kettle.
"Hey, hey, hey...... This water can't be drunk, the earring boy shouted while reaching out and snatching the kettle in Tang Xiaoyu's hand, and said solemnly: "The water here is what I brought out from the smiling spring before!" β
"Huh? Why do you ...... Do you want to put the spring water of the Laughing Spring in a kettle?! Tang Xiaoyu blinked his eyes slowly, and he looked very apprehensive about the spring water in the smiling spring.
The stud boy scratched his head embarrassedly and explained, "Just ...... When I came out of the inner sanctum of the Dementor Temple, I felt very hungry and thirsty, and when I saw the spring water in the backyard, I couldn't help but drink some of it...... I was afraid that there would be no water to drink on the road, so I filled a pot and carried it in the kettle by the way...... Who knows that the water in this smiling spring will be so terrible if you drink it? β
"Then you found out later, why didn't you throw this broken kettle away?" Tang Xiaoyu's brows furrowed even deeper: "What are you doing with it all the time?" It's still so casually on the table......"
The earring boy lowered his head and played with the old kettle in his hand, and said disapprerovingly: "I don't think that the spring water in this smiling spring is quite fun, I just want to be a souvenir, maybe it will be of any use in the future......"
"Okayβfun?" Tang Xiaoyu was a little disgusted, and pushed the arm of the young man holding the kettle with the earrings: "Then you can put it away in the future, okay?" I almost drank it, but I didn't think it was any fun......"
"Hey, hey, I'll put it away in the future...... Certain. The stud boy wiped the kettle into his arms like a baby, but because he had just scratched the pieces of meat with his bare hands and made his hands greasy, the more he rubbed them, the more oily they became.
I looked at the shiny old kettle, and was a little speechless at the strange collecting habit of the stud boy: "...... What can this water be used for? What do you want to do with it? Is it used to laugh off a row of ghost teeth of the hundred ghosts? β
"-You say that, it seems to be funny that way!" The young man with the earrings was stopped by me and couldn't spread his arms to eat and drink, and at this time he was bored and uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Otherwise, I'll go down and add a spoonful and a half to the plates of those guys below...... How lively is this inn..... hahaha...... Oops, it hurts ......"
I watched the stud boy rub his chin sore from long laughing, and looked obsessed with the pot of spring water in the kettle, and I thought this guy was surprisingly optimistic.
"I think the green pool water in the Dementor Hall is also very interesting, why don't you also load a pot and bring it out?"
As soon as the earring boy heard me mention the pool of green water, the happy expression on his face instantly turned white: "Ahhhh β
"It's disgusting." Remembering that I had been pushed into the disgusting rotting corpse pool by Anan in black skin, my eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were all filled with the green water and overflowed outward, and I nodded heartily.
"Speaking of which, you're really powerful, not only stopping the iron cage and saving my shoes and feet, but also fighting so many at once! Awesome, bro! β
The admiration in the eyes of the stud boy was overflowing, and I had to grin embarrassedly, not wanting to recall that I was so awesome in the heart of the stud boy, as soon as I got out of the Dementor Palace, I was immediately pierced into a sieve by the strange wind that Anan called 'Ghost Dance Against the Dust'.
Among the few of us, the one who is really capable is the mysterious Anan of unknown origin, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid it would be......
Thinking of this, I vaguely felt that something was not quite right, and I couldn't figure out how to think about it, since Anan was so capable, why was he caught in the Dementor Hall by those whip ghosts?
"By the way, I didn't have time to ask after laughing all the way just now, did you and that little white face named Anan have any holiday when you were alive? I've seen him push you off the green pool! And ah, you fell into that pool and didn't do anything at all?! β
It seems that the young man with earrings who is not tall and has long eyes, but he remembers these little things clearly, he has a white and tender woman's face, but he is embarrassed to call others a little white face.
Before I could return to the earring boy, he continued to ask as if he had knocked over the basket, "Besides, why don't we take the good road?" Do you have to burrow under the spring like a fish?? That guy! But it suffocates me!! β¦β¦ You won't believe me, I was a landlubber when I was alive...... The most feared thing is water...... But I see that you are all going to go and plant your 'puff puff pass' into that spring...... I don't know why, but I don't dare to stay there by myself! β¦β¦ No way...... I have to jump with you...... You don't even know what I've been through! β
The earring boy's barrage of questions really made me want to pick up the elbow in front of me with chopsticks and stuff it directly into his mouth: "-Why are you so much?" You ask me, I ask who goes? I also want to know why I was so unlucky, and I want to know why I died! β
I didn't want to recall the terrible strange wind on one side, and my eyes were full of eager curiosity for knowledge, mixed with a strong appetite, and fell on the freckled woman in Tsing Yi who walked towards us from downstairs again.
"A few guest officers were disturbed, and our shopkeeper asked me to come over and see if our dishes didn't suit the appetite of a few people? Why haven't you moved a single chopstick for so long? β
"We're waiting for a friend, we'll eat when he comes, don't rush." I laughed dryly at the woman in Tsing Yi.
The freckled woman in Tsing Yi still had a cold face, her tone was stiff, and she said word by word: "Our shopkeeper said that the food is delicious, but you have to eat it while it is hot to taste its true tasteββ"
When the woman in Tsing Yi said this, the eyeballs in her eyes quickly swept over the pieces of meat that fell on the table, and finally stopped on the elbow of the plate with a bamboo chopstick inserted, paused, and continued: "Since the dishes provided in our inn cannot meet the needs of the guests, then please come with me, our shopkeeper has prepared a special program for you." β
