Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali walked into the courtyard.

At this time, the lean man saw that the long knife in Luo Yuan's hand was still stained with some fresh blood, his face suddenly turned pale, he hurriedly took a step back, and shouted, "What do you want to do?" Our family has no money! ”

Luo Yuan frowned slightly, judging from the other party's somewhat overreaction, it was obvious that there was more chaos here!

He smiled, "Don't be nervous, I said we're not bad guys, and knives are just self-defense." If we didn't have this knife, wouldn't we be able to get out of the ring road safely, the dozen or so mutant rats that Guangguang encountered along the way would turn the two of us into white bones on the side of the road. ”

The thin man looked suspicious, obviously a little unconvinced, but his face was still the same.

At this time, the middle-aged woman heard the movement, walked out of the door with a kitchen knife, and immediately screamed loudly when she saw this scene.

Luo Yuan frowned, the family was shocked, it was obviously useless to say so many good words, his face sank, and he said coldly: "I don't want to cause trouble, I don't mean anything else, just stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning." Tell her to shut me up. ”

The thin man hurriedly grabbed the woman, dragged her to the side and kept muttering, and after a while, the middle-aged woman's mood improved.

She smiled reluctantly: "It turns out that there are guests at home, and you don't say anything." Come, come in, sit down. ”

"You go into the cooking first, don't worry about it, I'll entertain you here. By the way, add a few more dishes, two guests, I'll make a cup of tea. The lean man chimed in.

The middle-aged woman glanced at her husband with some concern, and hesitantly entered the kitchen.

The three of them walked to the living room, and the lean man quickly made three cups of tea.

Luo Yuan quietly performed an identification technique, and when he saw that it was not poisonous, he took a sip with confidence and said, "You don't have to be afraid, she and I are from Donghu City, and we are here to visit relatives this time." This knife is just for self-defense, and you also know that it is very dangerous outside now. ”

"yes, yes!" The lean man smiled stiffly, his eyes staring at the dazzling murder weapon from time to time, looking quite restrained.

Luo Yuan saw that the sky had already darkened, but there was no electric light in the living room, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "Is there no electricity here?" ”

"The line was bitten off by rats, and the power has been out for three days, and no one has repaired it." The thin man said cautiously with a smiling face.

"Is there still water?" Zhao Yali asked, she was sweating all over today, and she was greasy all over, and if there was no water to take a bath, it would be uncomfortable to sleep at night.

"Yes, yes, cold water, hot water, water heater on the roof?"

The lean man was extremely vigilant, Luo Yuan chatted for a while, and then lost interest, and the three of them sat at the table and drank tea with their heads bowed.

Soon the meal was ready.

The middle-aged woman quickly brought the meal to the table, although it was said that two dishes were added, but the dishes were also very simple. Except for a bowl of meat dishes, the rest are vegetarian dishes.

The middle-aged woman sat down, feeling that the atmosphere was different, glanced at the lean man with disgust, and introduced in a chattering manner: "Don't be polite to the two guests, the dishes are a little simple, and now the dishes are difficult to buy, these dishes are all grown in their own yards, and they are all very fresh." This bowl is pickled dog meat, the dog is raised at home, killed a few days ago, it tastes very good, you can taste it. ”

"It's so polite, it's much more hearty than what I ate in Donghu City." Luo Yuan said politely with a smile.

"Why do you want to kill a dog? It's cruel. Zhao Yali looked at the bowl of dog meat and couldn't bear to say. She had a dog at home, and every time she left home, the dog would take her a long way and be very attached to her. Seeing the family's dog killed, she couldn't help but worry about Lao Huang in her family.

The middle-aged woman looked at Luo Yuan carefully, saw Luo Yuan's expressionless face, and explained with a smile: "My husband watched this dog grow bigger and bigger, and he was panicked, and there were several mad dogs in the village that bit people to death, and we were worried about accidents, so we killed this dog." Now there are no more dogs in the village. ”

No wonder I didn't hear the dog barking along the way, it turned out that they were all killed, but think about it, the existence of such a creature is always a hidden danger to the village, although it is harmless to the owner, but it is dangerous to others, not to mention raising such a behemoth, it is necessary to waste a lot of food, for the current period, this is an unusually heavy burden, and you can get a lot of meat after killing.

Compared with the two, it is more cost-effective to kill dogs naturally.

Luo Yuan thought in his heart, and performed an identification technique on the bowl of dog meat, and as the information appeared in his mind, his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Marinated mutant dog meat"

"Material: Mutated dog meat, salt"

"Rarity "White"

"Weight: 300 grams"

"Effect: Rapid recovery from fatigue and enhancement of the body's immunity."

"Comment: This is a simple cooking of mutant dog meat, which contains a trace amount of active energy."

He was slightly surprised in his heart, the food made of mutant creatures actually had this effect, this effect was subtle, and it was generally impossible to detect it at all, and fortunately he used the identification technique, otherwise he didn't know when he would have discovered the mystery.

This mutant dog is only a white level, just the lowest level of mutant creatures, and I don't know what effect the flesh and blood of the light blue level giant snake that Lu Dao encountered before will have, but he didn't regret it much, after all, the giant snake also swallowed a few people, and if he really let him eat it, he wouldn't eat it, so he could only pay attention in the future.

After a few words, the atmosphere was a little dull.

The husband and wife looked at each other from time to time, communicated silently, Luo Yuan covered his head to eat, pretending not to see, dinner ended soon, and the sky gradually darkened.

The woman stood up and said with a stiff smile, "There is no room upstairs, why don't you live downstairs?" I'll clean it up for you now, and I'll be able to make the bed in no time. ”

"Yes!" Luo Yuan nodded, knowing that the other party was very vigilant, and he was not very reluctant.

The woman's expression was relieved, and her smile became more natural: "Qiyuan, can you bring two pairs of slippers and candles?" If you want to take a shower, you can go downstairs to the bathroom. "From some places, it can be seen that the woman is in charge of this family, and the man is a stuffy gourd who doesn't talk much.

At this time, Zhao Yali suddenly pulled Laluo away.

Luo Yuan was a little strange at first, but he quickly reacted and said: "I want to trouble you to add an extra bed, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend, I am afraid that a bed is not suitable." ”

The woman's face was a little embarrassed: "We only have two beds in our house, or I will bring you a mat." Pad it with cotton wool. ”

"It's good!" Luo Yuan nodded, and it could only be like this.

After a while, the husband and wife vacated the side room and went upstairs.

Luo Yuan walked into the room, handed the candle to Zhao Yali and said, "You go to take a bath first, and I'll wash it later." ”

It was pitch black outside, coupled with the unfamiliar environment, Zhao Yali was a little scared with the candle: "Or ...... Do you wash first? ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Luo Yuan saw through her mind at a glance and said with a smile: "Can I still wash with you?" ”

Zhao Yali glanced at her with disgust, hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and walked out of the bedroom in fright.

As soon as she walked into the bathroom, she immediately closed the door, she covered her slightly jumping chest, her heart was pounding, she was originally timid, watching a ghost movie can scare herself for several days, sometimes in the middle of the night was suffocated by urine, and she didn't dare to go to the bathroom. Not to mention an experience like today's.

With Luo Yuan by her side before, she didn't feel anything, but now that she is alone, she feels that every minute is torment, for fear that some monsters will come in from the outside.

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she didn't even want to stay here for a minute.

She took off her clothes, stood under the uncanopy, and washed it quickly.

When she got dressed, she hesitated, her clothes had all been lost with her luggage, she hadn't changed her clothes for a long time, her T-shirt and skirt didn't smell, but her underwear was a little stiff, and there was a dark map in the middle.

Her face was a little hot, and she seemed to have several urgency to urinate when she recalled the previous danger.

If you wear it again, it's too disgusting. Forget it or don't wear it, be careful and it shouldn't go out.

She redressed, feeling that her buttocks were cold and very unaccustomed, she opened the bathroom door, hurriedly returned to the bedroom, and saw Luo Yuan holding a strip of cloth, wiping the horse chopping knife with a focused face, and the fear in her heart was immediately dispelled without a trace.

"So fast! Then I washed. Luo Yuan gently put down the horse chopping knife, inserted the scabbard, and stood up.

"I've washed it, you can come over quickly!" Zhao Yali said with pleading in her voice, she didn't want to be here alone for a moment.

Luo Yuan said helplessly: "I'll be here soon, there's really nothing to be afraid of?" If something comes in, you have to go through the gate, and when I hear the movement, I'll come. ”

"But I'm just afraid!" Zhao Yali sat on the edge of the bed. said with a pitiful face, suddenly thought of something, quickly pressed the hem of the skirt, and stood up.

"Just don't think about it. Fear is mostly self-scared, just think of something happy or play a game, I went to take a shower. After Luo Yuan finished speaking, he got up and went to the bathroom, and when he came back. found that the door was closed by Zhao Yali, and the inside was still locked, so she couldn't help knocking on the door with a headache.

"Who?" Zhao Yali's frightened trills came from inside.

"It's me, open the door." Luo Yuan said helplessly.

Zhao Yali opened the door, quickly turned around, walked a few steps quickly, and then jumped on the bed and covered her head.

Luo Yuan closed the door, and when he saw this scene, he was a little speechless, and he really couldn't figure out what to be afraid of: "As for it?" Isn't it hot for you to sleep like this? ”

"It's not hot." Zhao Yali said in a muffled voice.

"It's all right, I'm blowing out the candles, right?" Luo Yuan took off his clothes and said.

"Don't blow!" Zhao Yali was a little anxious, lifted the quilt, and said with her head exposed.

"It's only a short time, and it won't be long, and if you have to go to the toilet later, there will be no candles." Luo Yuan glanced at the candle, which was only the length of his thumb, and it was obviously going to burn out soon.

"Then blow it, you still have battery on your phone, right?" Zhao Yali said.

"What's the matter, there is still half of the battery, don't beat my idea, judging from the situation of Zhujia Village, I am afraid that there is no electricity there, and I still have a mobile phone." Luo Yuan guessed the other party's thoughts without thinking about it, and hurriedly dispelled the other party's thoughts.

He blew out the candles, and the room went completely dark.

The room was silent, except for the noisy croaking of frogs and insects outside, and all sorts of strange oozing sounds. A small room seems to isolate the two worlds, making people feel a sense of loneliness forgotten by the world.
