Chapter 33: The Way of the Hungry Ghost

Half an hour later, I had eaten four loaves of bread and drunk three bottles of water in the dark. In the backpack, there were three loaves of bread, two bottles of water, and two packets of milk.

However, I did not feel that my hunger was gone, but it was even more obvious that my stomach was full of food, but I still felt empty, hungry and thirsty, and my mouth was dry.

This feeling seems like I haven't eaten in days!

What's going on?! I swallowed with some difficulty, licked my chapped lips, leaned my head against the wall behind me, and gasped for air.

No, this hunger makes me feel weak in my limbs, and I still have to eat!

I looked at the rest of the food in my backpack like a hungry ghost, knowing that I had just started today, and that there would probably be a few more days to spend here, and if I ate the food now, it would be a few days after that......

Never mind! No matter how much it is, let's take care of the present first!

I reached out and poured out all the food I had left in my backpack and began to eat like crazy......

These foods are all high-energy or compressed foods, and I may feel full when I eat a little, but today, when I ate all the food at eight o'clock in the evening, I still felt that it had no effect, and my swollen stomach told me that I was full, or even eaten, but the hunger was still strong, and I even wanted to soak in the water tank immediately, and eat meat while drinking!

I kept swallowing my saliva, trying not to feel so hungry. But it is still like fishing for the moon in water, and it is in vain.

What the hell is going on?! I was about to go crazy, looking at the backpack that didn't have any food to eat, and I thought to myself, could it be that I want to eat the rope as noodles?!

"Ahh

No, I'm going to find the Seventh Master and them, I need food! I packed my backpack, saddled it on, and staggered forward.

There was silence in the dark corridor, only my slightly heavy wheezing and some messy footsteps, I hadn't felt this kind of hunger for a long time, I didn't have any strength in my body, I felt that I could collapse at any time due to hunger or dehydration, but my stomach was very distended after eating a lot......

Am I poisoned? I suddenly remembered the smell of dirt that I had smelled when I first fell in. Is that a poisonous gas? But I've never heard of any poisonous gas that can make people feel such a weak sense of hunger!

The flashlight strapped to his wrist shone around, searching for anything to eat.

Finally, ten minutes later, in a corner, I saw a plant that looked like a wolfberry, with dozens of red crystal clear fruits falling from the branches, the size of a fingernail, which looked very attractive!

"Whew-"

I let out a sigh of relief, walked over and propped myself on the wall with one hand, picked a fruit with the other, put it under my nose and sniffed it, it smelled very sweet, I looked at it, and thought to myself, whether it was poisonous or not, I would eat it first!

After thinking about it, I reached out and stuffed the red fruit directly into my mouth, but when I chewed it twice and swallowed it, I felt a piercing pain in my throat, and I couldn't swallow it at all!

"Ahh I hurriedly bent down and spit out the fruit that I hadn't swallowed yet, and it hurt so much that tears came out of my eyes.

Damn it! Isn't that torture?! I coughed dryly in the corner, and the tearing pain in my throat made me afraid to use any force, not even to swallow my saliva.

"Ahh I screamed, my chapped throat made me dare not shout out loud, I shivered and straightened up, looked at the red fruit in front of me, and couldn't help but pick another one and stuff it into my mouth.

This time, I swallowed it completely after chewing it into water, very slowly, but when I reached the mouth of the esophagus, the tearing pain of the heart hit again, and I couldn't help but spit out the fruit again!

I sat on the ground in a decadent state, looking at the fruit of the tree, my eyes red to death, but I couldn't eat it at all.

It's good now, just now there was a lack of food, but now there is food in front of you but you can't swallow it, you can only watch, this kind of entanglement makes people desperate.

I tried to calm myself down, clasped my arms around my chest, closed my eyes, and forced myself to stop thinking about hunger or food......

And just like that, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already past five o'clock in the morning. My lips were glued together from dryness, and I slowly opened my mouth, tearing a piece of skin off my upper lip.

It felt a little better in my throat, and I tried to swallow a mouthful of saliva and found that it didn't hurt that much!

I was so overjoyed by this feeling that I hurriedly flipped through my backpack and rummaged through it before I came back to my senses, and yesterday I had already disposed of everything I could eat and drink!

I stood up, looked at the red fruit in front of me, reached out and plucked one in the palm of my hand, and hurried to pick the second oneβ€”I wanted to pluck it all and eat it all in one go.

But when I plucked the second fruit and put it in the palm of my hand, I found that the first fruit had dried up and turned black, and in the blink of an eye, there was no water, and only a kernel remained!

Just when I was stunned, the second fruit I picked also turned into a shriveled and black core......

I'm going crazy! The rush of hunger made me feel helpless, and now my throat is better and I can eat, but the fruit in front of me is wrong again!

I began to frantically pick the fruit and stuff it in my mouth. However, each fruit dried up the moment it entered the mouth, all the water disappeared in an instant, and the original round and full fruit was only left with a hard pit!

"Bang!"

I slammed my fist against the wall, gritting my teeth in a hurry.

"Whew-whew-"

When I was helpless, there was a sudden heavy wheezing sound behind me, I hurriedly turned around to look, and under the light of the flashlight in my hand, the figure of the cloth bag monk appeared in sight.

"Master?!" I hurriedly staggered over: "Master, do you have anything to eat?!" I'm starving! ”

The face of the cloth bag monk is not very good-looking, the original white and chubby face without eyebrows is a little scorched at this time, it seems that he had a difficult night like me yesterday.

"This, eat it!" The cloth bag monk reached out and took out a black leaf, the size of a fingernail, from a cloth bag and handed it to me.

I glanced at the cloth bag monk, swallowed my saliva, took the leaf and stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

Not to mention, after ten minutes, the hunger pang slowly disappeared, I was sweating profusely, my stomach was rumbling, I hurriedly took the paper and ran to the side, and solved the next personal problem......

"Master, what the hell is going on?" After I emptied my stomach, the whole person seemed to collapse, and I walked up to the cloth bag monk with some weakness and asked.

"Eat." The cloth bag monk took out a piece of bread from the cloth bag and handed it to me, and I took it and ate it as if I had seen a relative.

"This is the Hungry Ghost Dao of the Six Realms." The cloth bag monk glanced at me, twisted the Buddha beads and said, "First of all, the external obstacle makes you feel a strong hunger and eats everything you can eat in front of you; Then there is the internal aract, there is food in front of you, but because the throat is as thin as a needle, the pain is so great that you can't swallow it at all; Finally, there is no barrier, there is food in front of you, but after you get it, it becomes waste, and it does not relieve hunger at all. ”

"Is it because of the smell I smelled yesterday?" I asked, gulping down on the bread.

The Budai monk nodded: "That's the aroma of Guanyin grass, this is a poisonous weed, which will make people's bodies have a strong feeling of hunger in a short period of time, and it will be accompanied by slow dehydration, and after a long time, it will die." ”

I ate the bread in a few bites, and then nodded pitifully: "That's right, I ate all my food for days in just over an hour last night!" By the way, the pig's head left alone, but he had no food on him, and he didn't know if he could survive it. ”

The cloth bag monk glanced at me, took out the kettle and handed it to me, I hurriedly took it and drank a few sips, sat on the ground and rested for a while, and then slowly recovered my strength......
