Following Zhao Hong's instructions, I saw clearly the road in front of me by the brightness of the high beams, intercepting our "things". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

To be honest, if there is a demon fox spirit and a ghost on the way, I will not be afraid, and we must have too many "adventures" along the way.

And in all fairness, this "old Qi Road" itself has been abandoned for many years, and when I walked in, I was prepared to encounter all kinds of emergencies and even "unknowable supernatural phenomena" in my heart.

But I can't understand the "things" that are now placed in front of the car. The first reaction was that I felt that I had "crossed over"? Can these things be placed in the middle of the road?

Because I saw that in the middle of the road, more than a hundred meters away from us, there was a place impressively placed...... Three square tables!

And that's not all, and on each table, there is a bright red tablecloth that hangs straight to the bottom of the table, and some white porcelain pots and pans can be seen on the table, and there seems to be a faint steam.

The three tables are completely the furnishings of the three-table banquet, quietly waiting for their "guests".

All of us woke up in Zhao Hong's sudden braking just now, and except for Xiao Ah Si, everyone also saw the empty three tables in front of the headlights.

For a while, no one spoke, because everyone didn't understand what it meant.

But after a few moments, everyone's eyes were on me, and their expectant expressions made me uncomfortable.

I was itchy from everyone's eyes, so I was the first to speak: "What are you doing with me?" It's not my feast. ”

"But you're a cook!" Xian Hongye whispered "reminded": "It's still the cook of the Five Organs Temple!" You don't know that there are three tables of dishes on this road, right? ”

I didn't answer immediately, but looked up at the three tables of dishes that were still smoking.

To be honest, I had no idea what that meant. The old squad leader has never told me, and in recent years, I have not heard of this custom of placing "dragon gate arrays" on the main road in the countryside.

So, I shook my head helplessly.

"You don't know?" Wang Roar was unexpected, stretched out his hand and pointed to the three major tables outside and said, "Don't you even know about the coffin feast and the white food Gu?" Just three tables as simple as you wouldn't know. ”

His questioning made me a little unhappy, so I waved my hand and retorted, "My brother roar! It's not a concept at all, right? Even if it's asking me why...... You'll have to go out and see what's on that table, right? ”

My words also divided everyone into two factions in an instant.

During the discussion, Zhao Hong and Xiao Ah Si suggested going out to have a look and figure out the situation so that they could go on the road with peace of mind. Wang Roar and Momiji are resolutely opposed, believing that more is better than less.

Among them, Wang Roar was even more cautious because of the experience of "hitting the yin banquet" in the morning. He even frantically suggested that everyone leave these things alone, just kick the accelerator, step on it and rush over to finish the matter.

In the end, both factions made sense, and the two sides were on equal footing, and in desperation, everyone's focus returned to me.

"Take a look! Otherwise, everyone is so stiff, and it will be dawn. Just a 'professional' like you, think about it! "Momiji was in a stalemate, so he first gave me the decision.

With his words, everyone nodded and handed the baton into my hands again.

But what can I do?

In silence, I stared at the three empty tables of the "banquet", and my spirit was a little trance.

In everyone's expectation, I have to tell you:

"A long time ago, I heard the old squad leader say that 'the cook should be a guest at the door, and the banquet table should be set for dinner'. It means that in the rules of opening a hotel, you are a guest when you enter the door, even if you only drink a pot of water, you have to entertain. If you serve food on the table, you must have a meal, and even if you don't want to eat, you have to move your chopsticks, so I want to ...... These three tables of rice are even ready with utensils, so I think someone is invited to eat, right?! ”

"Isn't that coming back again?" Zhao Hong frowned and said, "If we knew who to invite to these three tables, or what 'things' to invite, wouldn't we solve the problem?" ”

Yes! The key problem is that I don't know, but if you want to know, you have to get out of the car and take a look.

In desperation, I looked at everyone's expectant gaze and took a compromise note.

I said, "Is that good?" If you want to get out of the car to see it, let's get out of the car and watch it, and if you don't want to see it, you can stay in the car and wait. ”

"That's fine......," said the king, who was the first to agree, "if anything happens, they won't all fall into it." ”

"Huh!" I smiled helplessly, as the saying goes, "the drunkard doesn't mean to drink"! The reason why this kid wants to stay in the car is because of Hyun Momiji's idea...... I'm too lazy to think about it.

So, under the division of labor, I took Zhao Hong and the dwarf Ah Si out of the car. Red Leaves and Wang Roar, as well as Zhao Hong's second uncle's black dog "Dudu", stayed behind just in case.

Before leaving, Wang Yao shouted at me with a little excitement: "Look carefully, don't be afraid after a long time, I will follow you in the rear." ”

Listening to his words, I felt depressed in my heart.

Does he have no bottom line for picking up girls? And it's shameless, it's Zhao Hong's headlights that are shining on us!

Without further ado, when we came to the front of the three tables covered with red cloth with apprehension, everyone felt a little stunned, stunned, but also sincerely happy.

Fortunately, we didn't listen to the king's words, otherwise we would have crashed into the past in such an unknown way, and the car would have been destroyed and people would have died.

Why did the car crash and kill people? As we got closer, we realized that these three tables looked like square tables from a distance, but in fact they were not at all, but a square "stone table" made of small stones, and the three stone tables were as thick and steady as the stone piers used in ancient chess games, and even if I pushed them with my hands, I could not move them at all.

The three stone platforms were squatted in the middle of the road, and it was not the red cloth that covered them, but the red paper the size of the floor, and the white porcelain pots and bowls placed on the red paper were really real things, but they were empty inside, and there was nothing to eat.

At first glance, this old man really looks like a "banquet" set up on a square table.

But what surprised me the most was that there seemed to be green smoke between the empty dishes, and it smelled like barbecue in my nose, and it was like swirling steam.

I looked at the smoke that swirled between the white porcelain cutlery and suddenly realized the source of the green smoke between the pots and pans.

So, following my train of thought, I walked briskly, went around the other side of the stone "table" in the center, and immediately saw a pile of incense ash under the "corner".

In the midst of the ashes, I saw that there were still three high incense sticks still burning slowly, and the fragrance was overflowing, and two-thirds of the whole incense had been burned.

The green smoke that lingers on the table is actually these burning incense.

Zhao Hong was also puzzled, he reached out and touched the red paper on the table, and said in surprise: "The red paper is still new, and it is estimated that the banquet will be set up in the past two days." ”

Looking at the incense, I suddenly corrected him and said, "This is not a feast, but a sacrifice." ”

"Sacrifice? Is there such a sacrifice? Zhao Hong looked at my expression puzzled, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed to the tableware on the square table and said, "There are also chopsticks and empty bowls, obviously just waiting for someone to eat, right?" It won't be ...... A feast to greet ghosts, right? ”

When Zhao Hong said this, he was startled, but the dwarf Ah Si gently scolded "superstition", and then asked me to give a scientific explanation, why there is a banquet, but the bowls are empty.

To be honest, I don't have a scientific explanation, because it is not scientific to put such a table in the middle of this road.

However, Ah Si's words still gave me a wake-up call, and I suddenly thought of something, so I didn't answer him and Zhao Hong immediately, but instructed the two of them: "Don't move the dishes, chopsticks and plates, first take a closer look at what is in each bowl to eat?" ”

While speaking, Zhao Hong's eyes widened, Ah Si stood on tiptoe, and they all looked at the neatly stacked white porcelain bowls on the side of the table with me.

We looked through the bowls one by one, for fear of missing the most important details.

But I was soon disappointed to find that there was nothing on the side.

"Don't you either?" I asked them a little disappointed.

"Nothing!" Zhao Hong responded with the same disappointment.

Just when both of us were about to give up, Ah Si screamed and reported his "major discovery"!

He replied, "Yes! There is food in the bowl! ”

"What?" Zhao Hong and I were stunned for a moment, and at the same time excitedly said, "What the hell? ”

Later, Ah Si pointed to a bowl he had seen and said to us, "There is a grain of rice in the bowl!" ”

His words were both unexpected and unexpected!

I figured there might be rice in the bowl, but I didn't think about it at all...... Why is there only a grain of rice?! What does this mean?

At that time, I didn't think much about it, so I immediately walked over, picked up the bowl that Ah Si had instructed, and then took the only remaining grain of rice out of the bowl.

I stared at the last grain of rice in the light and barely made out it was a grain of glutinous rice!

My heart sank.

Sure enough, it's glutinous rice!

However, with a bit of luck, I put the grain of rice in front of my nose and sniffed it gently.

A moment later, a musty smell instantly reached my brain.

"It's over!" My hand holding the rice trembled slightly, and I told Zhao Hong and Ah Sidao: "This glutinous rice is already moldy, it's 'buying Yin soldier food'!" Buy soldier food in the underworld! ”

"What do you call buying military rations?" Both of them asked me in unison.

And my answer is almost the same as Zhao Qingshan's answer to Lei Aniu back then!

I told them: "This moldy glutinous rice is the food for the Yin soldiers in the underworld!" Where there are them, there are Yin soldiers crossing the border! ”
