Chapter Seventy-Six: Trickery

In the current world, people almost regard these steamed buns as a common currency, and every household basically only recognizes white-flour steamed buns as rare treasures, and regards gold and silver pearls as hybrid dung, which is worthless. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is like a fallen leaf in the cold autumn, a useless thing.

Why did it lead to their values becoming the current situation, under He Wei's repeated questioning, he finally learned the result from the mouth of the female beggar.

According to the female beggar, no crop can be grown in every piece of land in the underworld, not even a bunch of rice, not a single jam can grow in the ground. Without plants, there is no way to feed livestock, and there is not even a single crowing rooster on the farm, so people have no choice but to go to the mountains to dig wild bitter hemp and koji vegetables to come back to make a living.

The children born in this world have never even seen what the grass looks like, and the flowers and trees in the mountains and forests have long been cut down, and the rocks in them, as long as they can be moved, have been emptied. Every mountain peak has become a bare and ruined hill.

He Wei listened to the female beggar's narration, and while eating the steamed buns in his hand, he felt quite sweet, but he was a little dry, and the more he ate, the more he wanted to drink water.

The female beggar looked at him dumbfounded, her whole face froze, and she kept rubbing her hands, looking extremely nervous, she immediately persuaded: "Master! This steamed bun can't be eaten......"

He Wei's upper and lower rows of teeth suddenly froze, and his little heart seemed to be thrown into boiling water to cook, and his throat didn't dare to continue swallowing. The next second later, he looked at the female beggar suspiciously, and asked in a panic, "Will I die?" ”

The female beggar breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "No, no, this steamed bun is not poisonous, how can it die." ”

"Cut~ I thought it was poisonous, I saw you scared me."

He Wei breathed a sigh of relief, continued to talk about the steamed buns in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth, and began to eat them with gusto.

The female beggar saw that the expression on the hole behind her instantly changed a lot, she clenched her little fists, gritted her trembling teeth and exclaimed: "Master, but this steamed bun is really inedible!" ”

He Wei felt a little inexplicable, holding the steamed bun dregs that were about to melt on the tip of his tongue in his mouth, and muttered vaguely: "For...... Why...... Can't eat it? ”

Female beggar: "This ...... It's priceless!! ”

When He Wei heard this, the whole person was dumbfounded, and he was as stiff as a stone. The steamed bun scum stuck in the throat that has not yet melted away, can't go up or down, and the face is about to turn blue, and the two dry lips faintly move and whisper: "Water...... Water...... Water! ”

The female beggar frowned, opened her voice and screamed, and quickly rushed up and kept patting his back with her hand, but in addition to hearing him coughing, her face became more and more red, and she felt that she was going to die in the next moment.

The female beggar kept stomping her feet in place, almost crying, and she didn't know what to do, and her eyes kept sweeping to every corner of the surroundings.

There happened to be a well next to the grass house, this well was discovered by He Wei first, and it seemed that no one had used it for a long time, so she immediately ran to the well and made a well with a wooden bucket and went ashore.

The female beggar fetched a bowl of water and returned to He Wei's side, finding that he was already lying on the ground and dying, with white foam oozing from the corners of his mouth.

She immediately poured it into his mouth, but it didn't take long for him to spit it out again, one after another, and his voice kept coughing staccatopocaly.

He Wei's face suddenly turned yellow, his lips turned black, and his forehead was blue. The whole face became more and more ugly, and several bulging meridians emerged from the heart of the brain, almost bursting.

At this time, there was no one inside or outside the lobby, except for a yellow dog bolted to the door, and no human figure was observed on all sides. The female beggar didn't dare to roar loudly, for fear of alarming the ghosts, so she carried He Wei into the grass house.

But as soon as she entered the grass house, she already noticed a cold feeling behind her, like carrying a corpse on her back. The female beggar subconsciously glanced back, and was surprised to find that He Wei had already lost his breath in his nose.

The beggar suddenly became calm, and after laying his body flat on the wooden bed, she stepped out of the cottage and closed the door.

At this time, a ghost appeared sneakily in a corner, his face was extremely unique, and he was holding a bowl of wild vegetable soup in his hand, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the grass house.

When the beggar who had just come out saw him, she immediately stopped him and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The ghost grinned and said, "Hehe, I'm here to bring lunch to the head, has he eaten?" ”

The female beggar reached out and snatched the bowl of wild vegetable soup, and replied calmly: "Leave it to me, he is not in good health and needs to rest." ”

"No, I saw my head jumping around outside just now, how can I say I'm sick?" The ghost was a little incredulous, and asked in confusion.

The female beggar suddenly put on a fierce face and yelled at him menacingly, "What do you mean? Don't believe me or don't believe the head? ”

The ghost smiled and said, "Hey! I both believe that I just care about relationships, so I'm leaving. ”

The beggar stopped her and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Hey! My name is Erwolf. ”

The female beggar said, "Well, I know, I won't use it to deliver lunch in the future, I will help him deliver it." ”

The second wolf nodded slightly and walked back into the lobby.

In order to prevent everyone from discovering what was going on, the female beggar ran back to the cottage, buried He Wei's body under the bed, and blocked it with bricks, as if nothing had happened.

She ran outside and carried the wooden box full of steamed buns back to the house, took out all the steamed buns inside one by one, put them into her own baggage, left an empty wooden box, and left the cottage alone with the steamed buns.

The female beggar did not go out directly through the gate, but jumped down from the well outside the cottage, and her movements were very sophisticated, as if she knew the well in front of her well.

When she jumped in, the water inside was not deep, the water level was only knee-deep, and the inside was more spacious than the outside. There was a passage all around, like a secret machine. The female beggar immediately got into one of the small holes, and after about ten minutes she got out, but there was one thing missing from her body, that is, the steamed buns in the baggage.

The beggar climbed out of the well with great skill, jumped outside, and when she swept her eyes around, she found that it was safe, and then walked back to the cottage where she had been.

When she walked into the grass house again, she suddenly found a living person sitting on a chair in the center of the living room, this person was He Wei, who had just been buried under the bed.

He Wei's face was very pale, terrifyingly white, two red eyes glared at the female beggar, slapped the table heavily, and said strangely angrily: "Why is my body hidden, did you do it?" Did you do it......"

The female beggar was instantly frightened, and her two slender legs were a little unsteady on her feet. She staggered back two steps, leaning on the doorframe, her limbs stiffened as if they had solidified into icicles.

He Wei suddenly jumped up from the chair tremblingly, his eyes were as red as a pair of jackal's eyes, and he looked down at the female beggar on the door frame in a condescending posture, limping and dragging his stiff legs to meet him.

As he moved his body, he roared in a strange voice, "It's you...... You swallowed me to death, didn't you? ”

The female beggar saw that she was constantly approaching her, her legs firmly stuck to the ground, and she quietly slipped a dagger out of her sleeve and held the handle tightly in her palm.

But at the moment when she was about to stab He Wei's head with a knife, a surprising scene suddenly happened.

He Wei suddenly laughed, his eyes were almost narrowed into a line, his whole body relaxed, and he said to her with a smile: "Ha, look at you, I scared you just now, wasn't it terrible?" ”

The female beggar was stunned for a moment, as if she did not expect such a situation. But she hesitated for a while, held her breath again, took out the dagger in her hand directly, and shouted angrily at He Wei: "Die, you!" ”

He Wei's eyes widened, his tongue was about to slip out of his mouth, and he subconsciously took a step back and explained in a panic: "Hey! Don't don't, I was just joking with you. ”

The female beggar didn't think so, her attitude became more serious than before, she gritted her teeth and rushed forward, and continued to say angrily: "But I'm not joking with you, I'll let you die today!" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, He Wei raised his eyebrows, hurriedly turned around and rushed into a corner, and at the same time turned around and persuaded: "Hey, you wait, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil, girl, I treat you well." ”

The red candle on the table had burned out by this time, except for a candle the size of a soybean, faintly burning in the air, and the light in the room was getting dimmer and dimmer. Suddenly, a dark wind blew open the door, blowing out the candles on the wooden table.

Immediately afterwards, the room was pitch black, and it was completely impossible to see a single figure, only to hear a series of terrifying voices from the female beggar not far away: "I will cut you with a thousand knives and break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

The voice continued to approach He Wei slowly, making his heart beat faster and faster, and he shouted loudly again: "You forget who saved you before, if it weren't for me, you would still be wandering on the streets." You are taking revenge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, unkind and unjust! ”

At this moment, the female beggar suddenly let out a miserable laugh, the sound dragged on for a long time, and the sound kept approaching, and the teacups on the table were about to be shattered.

"Ah!!h

There was a scream from inside the room, and a fiery red splatter of blood on the window. The rotten wooden door outside was also "creaked" by a gust of wind, and a pungent smell of blood emanated from the whole grass house.

He Wei's whole body was paralyzed, and he suddenly fell to the ground holding his stomach, and the floor in the room was already stained bright red with blood. The obsession before death kept his eyes open.

The lights in the room suddenly turned on, and I saw that the female beggar's hands were stained with red blood, and a trace of blood appeared on her face, and she was holding a bloodstained corpse in her hand.

He Wei lay on the ground, motionless, like a mummy, with a pair of cold eyes looking straight ahead.

The female beggar took two steps forward, raised her leg and kicked his body, and said, "Get up quickly, the wall has no ears." ”

He Wei heard the voice coming from his ears, subconsciously reached out and touched his face, feeling a little wet, he breathed a sigh of relief, and exclaimed, "Am I not dead yet?" ”

The female beggar threw the bloody rabbit in her hand in front of him, looked down at him and said, "Master, you are not dead, but it is dead." ”

When He Wei saw the rabbit in front of him, he immediately stood up from the ground, looked left and right, and said, "Where did the rabbit come from?" Isn't there not even a rooster here? ”

The female beggar stood in place with a calm face, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on her face, and said in a low voice: "This rabbit was left by me, and it finally came in handy today." ”

He Wei sighed and said, "You really scared me to death just now, I thought you were really going to kill me." ”

The female beggar ran to the door, closed the door tightly, and then turned back to him and said, "Master, I have hidden the steamed buns for you, so don't worry." ”

"Hey, I didn't expect these steamed buns to cause death, this is really a dangerous place."

He Wei staggered to the chair, patted the dust on it and sat down, looked up at the female beggar in front of the door, and said with a smile: "Don't sleep on the ground tonight, if you don't mind, you can share the bed with me, right?" ”

The female beggar put the dagger in her hand into her sleeve, slowly walked up to him, and replied expressionlessly: "How dare I, as a slave, trespass? The ground is cool. ”

He Wei looked at her intently and said, "Why don't I sleep on the ground and you sleep on the bed?" ”

The female beggar had always spoken very little, and this time was no exception, and she turned and walked out of the cottage, not returning.

He Wei sat motionless on the chair, looking at her departing figure in his eyes, feeling a heavy stone pressed in his heart, and he couldn't breathe.

Soon, He Wei returned to the bedroom and slept until the next day.

While he was still in a daze, there was already a knock on the door, and he crawled out of bed tiredly, squinted his eyes, walked to the door, and opened the door.

A familiar face appeared outside the door, he looked at He Wei with a wry face, and asked with a smile: "Ah, are you still there?" ”

"Why am I still there? I'm already here, huh? What's wrong? Second wolf, do you have something to do? He Wei wiped the droppings from the corners of his eyes and muttered softly.

The second wolf looked surprised, and asked urgently: "Didn't you ...... yesterday?"

Halfway through the second wolf's words, he suddenly swallowed it back, immediately changed his expression, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay if you're okay." ”

He Wei suddenly felt a little strange, and continued to ask, "What's wrong?" Can you make that clearer? What about appetite? ”

The second wolf laughed even more happily this time, touched the back of his head, and said, "Hey! You're fine, so why don't I get you a bowl of wild vegetable soup? ”

He Wei said: "Oh, no, no, I'll go by myself in a while." ”

After the second wolf answered, he turned around and left with a smile.

He Wei saw him leaving, so he came to the lobby alone, and met the fat brother on the way.

When the fat brother saw it, he was frightened at first, and then he greeted him with a smiling face, and asked vaguely, "Head...... Are you still there? ”

"Am I there? What's wrong? Can I help you? He Wei asked curiously.

The fat brother glanced at him in a panic, and hesitated for a while before continuing: "Oh, hehe, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay." ”
