Xi'er threw herself into my body in an instant, and I stood up against the wall.

From the sound of footsteps, sure enough, the man came, I thought he had found something, and came to ask me again, but what I didn't expect was that after he approached the iron door, he actually handed something from under the crack in the door.

I was afraid that he was going to hurt me, so I took a step back. He seemed to see my fear, and said without the slightest emotion, "It's time to eat." ”

Only then did I realize that the thing he handed over was actually a plate of rice, and then I felt hunger in my chest and abdomen, from the time I was unconscious to being locked in, I don't know how long it had been, probably because of fear and nervousness, I actually forgot about hunger.

Hearing him say to eat, my stomach suddenly rumbled uncontrollably.

Seeing him turn to leave, I leaned on the iron door and shouted, "Hey, hey, how long are you going to keep me in prison?" ”

The man did not answer, and seemed to pause and think for a moment, and then I heard footsteps again, and he walked away.

Hearing the sound of the second-floor dungeon door locking, I cursed fiercely.

Forget it, let's eat something to fill our stomachs first.

I bent down and picked up the plate of rice, which seemed to have just come out of the pan, and was still a little warm, and I was so hungry that I was about to pull it into my mouth when the brook suddenly appeared and grabbed my sleeve.

"Don't eat it!" She shouted.

I stopped in amazement, looked at the rice, and then at her, "What's the matter, is this rice poisonous?" ”

This was my first feeling, but after saying that, I vaguely felt that it was not, and that if that person wanted to kill me, there was no need to be so troublesome.

Xi'er stared at the rice on the plate for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's not poisonous, but you can't eat it, this rice is yin rice, and it is still yin rice that has been eaten by ghosts." ”

I sniffed it, and from this plate of warm rice, I couldn't smell the slightest aroma of rice, and it seemed that it was really rice that had been eaten by ghosts.

In addition to eating incense, ghosts will also eat the essence of people and food, and many things offered at the grave, whether it is fruits or food, will deteriorate very quickly, just because the ghosts eat their essence.

After Xi'er said this, I carefully observed this plate of rice, the rice of this plate of rice was already paralyzed, and in this rice, I also found several grains of mouse droppings, and a piece of yellowed things.

Why did this man give me the food that the ghosts had eaten?

For some reason, when I saw this yellowing thing, the first reaction in my mind turned out to be corpse oil.

What would I become if I ate something like this in a daze?

Fortunately, Xi'er appeared in time to remind me, and I felt my hands and feet tremble, and I didn't dare to eat any hunger anymore, so I walked to the corner of the wall and poured the yin rice on the heel of the wall.

Shocked for a while, he turned his head to Xi'er and asked, "What is this person doing with the things that have eaten ghost food for me?" ”

Xi'er doesn't know, but it's definitely not a good thing, so I am advised not to eat it.

I don't need her to persuade me, I will definitely not eat those things, Xi'er suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about why this person wants to lock you up?" ”

I was thinking about this meal, when I heard her suddenly ask such a sentence, and said without thinking, "Then what else can be the reason, he is here to use evil methods to steal people's longevity, afraid that I will leak the news after I go out." ”

Xi'er shook her head, as if she didn't agree with me.

"I don't think so, there must be another purpose for keeping you here."

Isn't it because I'm afraid I'll leak the news here? Could there be any other reason?

Xi'er lowered her head and thought for a moment, "I don't know what the specific purpose is, but it's not just that I'm afraid that you will say something here." You think, when you came in before, those ghosts had already sensed that your yang qi was weak and close to running out of oil, so when you borrowed your life, they didn't let you go up at all, which means that you are here, and it is definitely not to borrow your life. ”

Although I didn't nod, I agreed with Xi'er's analysis in my heart, this person didn't want to borrow my life.

"If you are afraid that you will leak the news, he can kill you when you are unconscious, why should he raise you and waste food. He can even do such a thing as taking away people's longevity, will he talk about any compassion? ”

I finally couldn't help but nod, the man was definitely extremely cruel, otherwise he wouldn't have a full human skin mask on his face.

Although Xi'er analyzed it very reasonably, she couldn't guess what was in the heart of that person. I asked curiously, "Don't you have his heart?" Can't you sense what he's thinking? ”

Xi'er shook her head, "If I use his psychic power to sense him, he will definitely be able to feel it; Also, I bluffed you because I have a heart connection with you, and I can roughly feel what you are thinking, but as for others, I may not be accurate. ”

Thinking of the situation when I borrowed Shou before, I asked, "You don't dare to use his heart to him, how did you know that he was borrowing Shou before?" ”

"When I saw that scene, the first reaction in my mind was that he was borrowing someone's longevity, and I didn't know what was going on." Xi'er herself was a little confused, and thought about it.

Although my eyes could adjust to the dark dungeon, the strange yin food, and the ghost keeper who didn't know what the purpose was, I felt a sense of powerlessness and terror that I had never felt before.

Fortunately, there is still Xi'er, a female ghost, who keeps talking to me, and occasionally she is still in the mood to gag with me, otherwise, in such a big loneliness and horror, I think I would go crazy.

Although the yin food is poured out, but the hunger is frantically surging, but I don't dare to fight the yin food doctrine, I'd rather die than eat those things.

I don't know how long this hunger will have to endure, and although I have learned the art of clearing the grain without eating, it is of no use in this dark dungeon.

When I resisted hunger, I thought of my grandfather's story about starvation in the past, in the old days when there was no food, many people were starved to death, and the very few people who survived, one of the most important ways for them to survive until the arrival of relief food was to sleep.

Only when you fall asleep does you not feel hungry, and most importantly, after falling asleep, the body's metabolism slows down.

I told Xi'er what I thought, she nodded, stopped talking to me, I endured hunger, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Probably frightened and tired, I fell asleep quickly, I don't know how long I slept this night, I felt a chill on my body, and subconsciously knew that it was Xi'er who got on my body, opened my eyes, and heard two footsteps walking into the dungeon this time.

The footsteps of one of them were crisp, and it seemed to be a woman in high heels, and I stood up with a spirit, not knowing what would happen next.

But through the iron door, I could see a bright light outside, as if the man had brought a flashlight to bring the woman in.

Sure enough, after a few moments, I heard a woman's voice, which was very crisp, and it sounded like she was no more than twenty years old, and she asked, "Are people locked up here?" ”

The man hummed, and then I heard a click outside, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I thought that at last the door was open, and that this might be my chance to escape, and as soon as I rushed out of the dungeon, I would run outside.

Although I don't know what the structure is like outside, but this is an opportunity, but I was immediately disappointed, it was not the door that clicked, but a small window outside the iron door that was not much bigger than a fist, I didn't even see the existence of such a small window before, the man opened the small window, and then a bright electric light shone at me.

Standing up at this time, my eyes were facing this small window, and the strong light hit my eyes, so I could only close my eyes and cover them with my hands.

At this time, I heard the woman laugh coquettishly, "Yo, it's a good child, it's a pity." ”

I secretly said in my heart, you are not much older than me when you listen to the voice, and you still call me a child.

But now that I'm trapped in a dark and damp dungeon, how can I still be in the mood to fight with him about this, even if she calls me a son, I don't bother to talk to her.

The man obviously wanted to slap the woman, and said with a smile. "It's a pity, it's his luck to choose him, if you think it's a pity, before you get down to business, I'll send him to you, whatever you want."

The man's smile was quite lewd, and the girl's voice suddenly said awe-inspiringly, "What did you say? ”

The man was suddenly a little scared, "I didn't say anything, I mean, if you feel pity, we can change another one." ”

The girl snorted, "What, didn't you say that he had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I came to see it?" ”

The man seemed to nod outside, "Yes, yes, I didn't pay attention to it before, and I almost wanted to let him walk, but I didn't expect this kid to go by himself, messing around with me, I just found out that he was a baby, and left him behind, you look at his face, this is willow leaf water, you wash your eyes, look at the fire on his shoulders." ”

I heard the sound of water, and the woman seemed to really wash her eyes with willow leaf water, "Well, there is such a stupid thing?" It's so good-looking, but it's good, it's a big use for us. The girl glanced at me, and against the bright light, I couldn't make out what she looked like, but the tone of her voice must be that of a nasty girl.

The man finished stammering the girl and suddenly said to me, "What about the plate, bring it and serve you food." ”

I knew his intentions for fear that I hadn't eaten the food on my plate, but the rice had fallen out of his sight, and he turned the electric light, apparently trying to see if there was any food I had poured out of the dungeon.

I handed over the empty plate, and suddenly thought that my silence might arouse their suspicions, and half-said with a half-confession, "You let me out, I will never dare to talk about the matter here." ”

The girl and the man chuckled at the same time, turned and left, and as they left, the girl said, "Isn't it too stupid, you know how to beg for mercy." ”

The man said a few times and didn't talk.

After a while, the man turned around alone, this time it was still half-warm yin rice, maybe this time I poured more oil, I actually smelled a strange fragrance, my stomach was already hungry and unbearable, under the gaze of Xi'er, I still had no choice but to pour the meal.

After pouring out the food this time, I felt that hunger was overwhelming, and I was really restless, and I fell asleep several times, and I woke up hungry. The man gave me this meal, I feel like it's once a day, I haven't eaten anything for two days, and several times I almost couldn't control myself, thinking that yin food will be good yin food, no matter what happens to him in the future, if I don't eat it, I will starve to death, if I eat this rice, I can last a while.

But this thought of mine was still stopped by Xi'er, who said that I had no interest and couldn't stand hunger at all. Once you eat it, it's useless to spit it out.

I was hungry and couldn't sleep anymore, thinking that I must be deficient in courage, otherwise how could I be so afraid, before coming to Wutai Mountain, I had nightmares for a few days, and the fourth uncle said that the reason why I had nightmares was because my courage was too small, and it was difficult to recover from fright, as long as I often used the Taoist method to hold it, my courage would become greater.

I sat up against the wall, held it firmly with the method taught by the fourth uncle, sat cross-legged, looked at my nose and nose, looked at my heart, formed my hands into fists, held them on both sides of the renal pelvis, and slowly breathed qi.

After exercising for a while, I began to think crankily again, where is the fourth uncle? Is he back, he's so powerful, he'll definitely be able to find me.

After thinking about it, Mao Mao fled, Xi'er said that it didn't dare to go to Wutai Mountain, so would it meet the fourth uncle outside the mountain and bring the fourth uncle here, this harmful man, the fourth uncle would definitely kill him with one slap.
