Chapter 22: The Midnight Bells

"I haven't eaten yet, come, my mother-in-law has just made it, let's eat together." The old woman walked back as she spoke, and saw that she was not walking slowly at all, and that she was very strong.

I closed the door and I followed her into the house.

Overall, the house was very basic, there was basically no anything of value, it seemed that the old woman lived here alone, and there was a foul smell in the house that irritated my nose and made me want to gag. I was still hungry, but now I have no appetite at all.

This stench is not an ordinary stench, and I reached out and covered my mouth and nose directly, although I also knew that it was rude to do so, but I really couldn't stand it.

The old woman noticed my action, but did not say anything, but pointed to the small wooden stool next to me and asked me to sit down, and then she left.

After a few minutes, she came up with a large bowl and said to me with a smile, "Come, try my mother-in-law's handiwork." ”

I took the bowl and thanked me, but looking at the contents of the bowl, I really lost my appetite, not that the food was bad, but that the food was a little strange.

I can see at least six animals in the bowl. Vipers, toads, spiders, rats, bats, centipedes. Although their bodies were broken into several parts at the moment, I could still make out them. Of course, there are other things in there, but I haven't made out them yet.

I really can't understand why this old woman eats this. Not only that, but from time to time there was a bad smell coming from the bowl, which was not weaker than the stench, and made me lose my appetite.

"Eat, these are all good things, that is, there are guests coming, otherwise I wouldn't be reluctant?" The old woman said with a smile.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, but I'm not hungry now, let's eat when I'm hungry." I was too embarrassed to refuse outright, so I had to find an excuse for the time being.

"Eat quickly, eat it hot, this thing will only have a great tonic effect if you eat it hot." The old woman continued to persuade me.

I was very embarrassed and asked me to eat, I really couldn't eat, let alone eat, just looking at it and losing my appetite. But let me refuse, and I can't say anything, after all, I'm here to give alms, people give me a bite to eat, how can I not eat, and if I don't eat, I'm afraid it will also make the old woman feel sad.

"Mother-in-law, I suddenly have a stomachache, where is the toilet?" I was very hesitant, so it seems that I might as well go.

"Go out and turn left, then walk a few dozen steps and turn right." My mother-in-law pointed me the way, and I didn't hesitate at all and rushed out. I looked back, but I didn't follow, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to run.

Looking at the roads around me, I didn't know which way to go, so I thought about it a little and chose any one, I didn't know which way anyway.

I chose a dirt road at random, it was full of dust and potholes, perhaps because it had just rained, and you could see small puddles on the ground, and there was a muddy water inside.

I walked cautiously, looking back as I went. Luckily, no one came, but I didn't meet anyone, so I still don't know how I'm going to get out.

My feet creaked on the yellow branches and leaves, and suddenly, I felt another voice appear.

"Who?" I turned around, but there was no one behind me, no one within the radius, could it be an illusion?

Ignoring it, I continued to walk forward, but the voice came again.

Sadly, as soon as I stopped, the sound stopped, but I was sure it wasn't the sound of my stepping.

I suddenly had a bad feeling, is it another ghost? Thinking of ghosts, I suddenly felt a little stunned in my heart, wouldn't I be so unlucky, I just met a ghost when I came here?

"Young man, why did you come here, let your mother-in-law find it easily." I turned my head to see the figure of the old woman standing behind me, staring at me with deep-set eyes.

I even had the illusion that she wasn't an old woman anymore.

"I, I'm looking for a toilet." I paused. At the same time, I felt very strange in my heart, no matter how fast an old woman was, she couldn't compare to me, and she actually ran in front of me, I felt a little weird.

"Oh, haha...... Okay, let's go back to dinner? The old woman smiled and asked me, but there was no tone of inquiry that made me a little strange, was it angry? But I really can't eat those meals, what should I do, what should I do?

Sweat was already pouring out of my head, and my brain was spinning rapidly, "Mother-in-law, I'm not going back, I'm sorry, I just received a call, saying that there was some urgency, so I had to go first, thank you mother-in-law for your hospitality." "After thinking about it, I had to say this, after all, it was my fault.

"Something?" The old woman's face was a little bad, and her voice was a little cold, which made me shudder unconsciously.

"Let's go, as long as you can get out!" Throw me a cold word, and she shook her hand away.

Still embarrassed in my heart, I sighed and started walking out.

However, there are so many trees here that you can get lost after a few steps. But then I marked the places I walked through, so it should be better to walk out.

It's just that, obviously, I underestimated this, and even more so the words of the old woman.

After walking for about an hour, I hadn't even walked out, and it seemed like I had been spinning in circles.

Ghosts hit the wall, is it a ghost hitting the wall again? My heart is not at peace, is the ghost coming again? What should I do in this little village in the wilderness?

My forehead has begun to sweat, and if I stay any longer, it will be dangerous, this is my intuition, and I faintly feel that a pair of eyes are watching me, it is a pair of cold eyes, braving the cold light.

"Young man, you're still here, it seems that you really can't get out." Suddenly, a voice appeared in my ears, and I shuddered.

When I turned around, I saw the old woman, and when I saw her again, I only felt very happy in my heart. "Mother-in-law, can you please take me out?" There was a lot of anticipation in my eyes.

"Can't!" The words of unquestionable certainty came out of her mouth, and I was very surprised.

"Why?"

"You understand it yourself." The old woman said lightly.

Do I understand it myself? Could it be......

"Mother-in-law, I'll go back with you." I know what she means, it seems that if you want to go out today, you will have to eat the poison in that bowl.

"Haha...... Good, good. When she heard that I agreed to go back with her, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and even the cold air on her body disappeared.

I'm very helpless at the moment, but there's no way, that damn driver, why did you send me here, I really can't figure it out, what good is it for him to send me here?

**Target! I want to scold him when I think about it!
