Chapter 35: Cooked Porridge
Rare...... Porridge?!
Looking at the thin porridge in front of him, the look of shock in Ning Xiu's eyes flashed, and he quickly returned to normal.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. He stretched out his hands, took the porridge, and thanked him.
"Thank you, coarse tea and light rice, it's good if you don't dislike it. Uncle Liu smiled and then distributed the meal to the next one.
Yu Shasha looked at Ning Xiu the whole time, so Fang Cai's subtle expression did not escape her eyes, and seeing this scene, the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed to become brighter and brighter.
"Hey, what about Zhao Shi?" Ning Xiu looked around and found that there was one less person on the table.
"Mr. Zhao went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Uncle Liu turned his head to look at Ning Xiu and replied.
"When I woke up in the morning, the uncle was gone. Sensing Ning Xiu's gaze, the yellow-haired Wu Tao put down the chopsticks in his hand and spoke.
Ning Xiu glanced at the reactions of the others around him, they obviously already knew about it.
"Okay, Uncle Liu, now you can tell us the whereabouts of Taoyuan Township, right?" Wu Tao looked at Uncle Liu, impatient.
In fact, he wanted to ask this sentence, and he had been holding it all night.
Uncle Liu glanced at Wu Tao and said slowly: "I don't know where Taoyuan Township is, I just know that many people are looking for it." ”
"They are all lost in the woods like you, and they have all rested with Xiao Lao'er and me, and each of them said that they want to find Taoyuan Township. As for whether they found it in the end, I don't know. I don't even know if there is a paradise in this world. ”
Uncle Liu looked at everyone, and then said: "But I think that if there is really such a place in this world, it is definitely not something that people can find." ”
"No one has set foot on it, it is for the paradise"
After saying this, Uncle Liu put away the porridge pot that was already empty, turned around and left......
There was silence in the room.
Almost everyone has a solemn expression on their faces.
"I'm full. ”
"I'm full, too. ”
"I'll go back to the house and rest. ”
......
Luo Ziqing, Zhou Chengman, and Liu Xiangjie left together.
Wu Tao pursed his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing, why are you all leaving one by one, have you found something?" ”
"Well, what the hell is going on, I'll go back anyway. He glanced at Ning Xiu, and also got up and left.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Hearing the voice behind him, Ning Xiu woke up from his contemplation and looked back at Yu Shasha.
I saw that she stretched out her hand and pointed to the bowl of porridge in front of Ning Xiu's eyes, obviously saying this.
Even if Ning Xiu could confirm that the bowl of porridge in front of him was an ordinary bowl of porridge, when he remembered the picture he saw last night, he would not have an appetite anyway.
"What, no appetite?"
"I don't know the aroma of porridge and pickles, I don't know the warmth of coarse cloth and linen if I'm not cold. It seems that our Ning University scholars are not really hungry yet. Yu Shasha chuckled.
And he called Ning Xiu a scholar, obviously ridiculing Ning Xiu that day when he said that he was writing a paper about the Peach Blossom Spring.
"Rest assured, there's no flesh here. ”
Ning Xiu just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Leng Buding suddenly heard such a sentence, at this moment, he only felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the blood in his whole body was coagulating in an instant.
He looked at Yu Sasha deadly, his right hand hidden under the table kept clenching, loosening, clenching, releasing ...... And so on and so forth.
Finally, he let out a long breath and said, "You were there last night?"
"You are not the only one who can't sleep, not only me, Daoist Zhou, Luo Ziqing and that obscene uncle were all there last night, but everyone is not as reckless as you. After all, the invisibility charm doesn't work every time, it can only hide your body, but it can't erase your breath. Yu Shasha sniffed her nose and spoke.
"You also saw Zhao Shi last night, so do you know how he disappeared?" Ning Xiu obviously wouldn't believe what Uncle Liu said, and since Yu Shasha had seen Uncle Fat last night, there might be some clues.
The fat uncle was the first to leave, he went to Uncle Liu's room first, and then went back to the house directly. And I'm sure the fat guy didn't come out after he got back to the house. Yu Shasha affirmed.
"Zhao Shi didn't leave the room at all, so it's almost certain that Uncle Liu is lying, but how can Wu Tao's words be explained? He doesn't need to lie, right?" Ning Xiu frowned and said.
"Maybe Wu Tao is not lying. ”
Yu Shasha picked out the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks, and suddenly asked, "Hey, Ning Xiu, do you say that our trip to the illusion will be like this porridge." Survive day by day, and in the end, the more you boil, the worse it gets?"
......
What Yu Shasha said in the morning became a prophecy.
Before the sun went down, there was one less person in the house.
This time it's Luo Ziqing.
asked Qiu Wanli, who was in the same room, and the answer he got was the same as what Wu Tao said in the morning, this Luo Ziqing also disappeared suddenly.
In the afternoon, Qiu Wanli practiced knives in the yard as usual, and when he returned to the house, he found that Luo Ziqing had disappeared.
This row of wooden houses enclosed a circular courtyard, and everyone in the house had to pass through the courtyard if they wanted to leave, so Qiu Wanli could be sure that Luo Ziqing had never left the house.
But he disappeared and played with the evaporation of the world without warning.
......
For dinner, Uncle Liu still prepared porridge for everyone.
Ning Xiu tasted it, and it was the same as the bowl at noon, it was bland and tasteless, but it became more and more ripe.
Throughout the dinner, everyone was exceptionally quiet.
After Uncle Liu added porridge to everyone, he walked out with a lantern as he did last night.
Watching the old, slender back disappear into the night, no one knows where he is going next and what he is going to do?
Ning Xiu silently returned to the house.
Yu Shasha's conversation during the day gave him a lot of information, the most obvious point was Uncle Liu's house, Zhao Shi disappeared inexplicably after going to Uncle Liu's house.
What did he see in it?
Of course, Ning Xiu was not the only one who thought so, after seeing Uncle Liu leave, Zhou Chengman and Liu Xiangjie sneaked into his room.
They stayed in for a long time, and when they came out, their faces were unusually pale.
It's not that Ning Xiu doesn't want to go, it's just that he doesn't have this opportunity.
He looked up at Yu Shasha who was standing in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Now do you really want to go to Uncle Liu's room to see what the fat uncle has found?" Yu Shasha said with a smile.
"I'll take you to see something more interesting first, you left too early last night, and you missed a big show. ”
