Chapter 34: The Long Night
It was a row of wooden houses, and in the night wind, it seemed as if the whole room was shaking.
The old man opened the door and walked in.
They have all arrived here, and there is no reason to retreat, and everyone follows the fish.
The old man put down the lantern, removed the lampshade, lit the candle in the house, and put it back again.
"Everyone is here to find that Taoyuan Township. The old man looked at the crowd and suddenly asked.
"Does my uncle know about Taoyuan Township?" asked Yu Shasha.
The old man nodded, and then said: "It's getting late, let's rest first, let's talk about anything tomorrow, the house next to it is empty, you can just find a room to live in." ”
After saying this, the old man walked outside the house with the lantern.
Ning Xiu followed, standing in front of the house, watching the old man's figure gradually disappear into the night.
When he turned his head and looked at the small wooden houses, like huge coffins, Ning Xiu suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
......
"What do you think about this?" it was Luo Ziqing who spoke.
Wu Tao said: "There is definitely something wrong with this old man. ”
"This still needs to be said, people with long eyes can see it, the important thing is what we should do next?" This time it was the middle-aged uncle who spoke, Zhao Shi.
"Didn't the old man say that he knew Taoyuan Township, just ask him tomorrow morning. Okay, everyone is tired in the past two days, let's rest tonight, for the sake of safety, let's still have two people in one room. Zhou Chengman said.
Everyone nodded, expressing no opinion on Zhou Chengman's proposal.
Indeed, as he said, in the forest, everyone's spirit is highly tense, and even cultivators have already exceeded their own load.
Zhou Chengman and Liu Xiangjie already knew each other, so they naturally lived in the same house.
And Qiu Wanli and Luo Ziqing are both lonely and cold, and the two live in the same house.
The middle-aged uncle Zhao Shi and the gangster young Wu Tao formed together, and in the end, only Ning Xiu and Yu Shasha were left, and they naturally lived together.
Long nights, no sleep.
The reason is naturally not because of the extra women in the room, Ning Xiu is lying on the dilapidated wooden bed, with his eyes open, looking out of the window in a daze, his eyes are not focused.
Whenever Ning Xiu was thinking about things, he always had this look.
Squeak~
Just then, there was a slight sound of the door opening.
Ning Xiu listened with pricked up his ears, and also heard a burst of footsteps.
He glanced at Yu Shasha, who was lying opposite and fell asleep with his eyes closed, got up carefully, and after pasting an invisibility talisman on his body, he slowly walked out of the house.
It was the old man who had returned, and the same voice he had made when he opened the door, only this time he had not only a lantern in his hand, but also a bag.
Ning Xiu cautiously followed, and found that the other party should be going to the kitchen.
"What kind of wild vegetables are in the bag, melons and fruits?"
After entering the kitchen, the old man took out the contents of the bag.
When Ning Xiu saw the contents of the bag clearly, he saw his pupils shrink suddenly, and what caught his eyes was not wild vegetables and fruits at all, but a bloody ......
Manpower!
At this moment, the old man happened to turn his head and meet Ning Xiu's gaze.
At this moment, Ning Xiu felt as if his heart had stopped beating, his whole body was tense, and his right hand subconsciously grabbed a talisman from his pocket.
The old man let out a "huh", turned and walked over to close the door, and returned to the console.
Seeing this scene, Ning Xiu gasped in his heart, he almost couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move just now, but fortunately, the invisibility charm still worked. He pursed his lips and continued to look at the old man
I saw that the old man first boiled a pot of hot water, then washed the man's hands, peeled it, chopped it into several pieces, and threw it into the boiling hot pot with the flesh and bones......
Soon a burst of meat aroma came out of the pot.
In terms of smell alone, there is no difference from the usual pork rib broth, the only difference is that it is not pork lying in the pot, but human meat!
And Ning Xiu can be 100% sure this time that what he sees in front of him is completely real, which is completely different from the previous time in the haunted house in the mountains, the bowl made for him by the ghost mother was simply transformed by ghost qi.
The old man cut some vegetable ingredients and threw them into the pot, and after adjusting the heat, he was ready to leave.
Squeak~
The door opened, and the old man walked out.
Watching the old man leave, the room was once again plunged into boundless darkness.
Ning Xiu squatted in the corner, still motionless, and didn't even dare to gasp.
After a few moments, the kitchen door suddenly opened silently.
An old, pale face appeared behind the door without warning, and it was the old man who had gone and returned.
The old man carried the lantern, squinted his eyes, and glanced towards the dimly lit room, then slowly closed the door and turned to leave.
Ning Xiu silently calculated the time when the old man left in his heart, thinking that the other party should almost go back to his room to rest, so he slowly got up and left the room carefully.
......
When she returned to the house, Yu Shasha was still sleeping, as if she was unaware of Ning Xiu's departure.
Ning Xiu glanced at her, went back to his bed, covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep.
In the past two days, Ning Xiu's spirit was also tense, and he had almost reached a critical point, and he couldn't help it anymore at this time, only feeling dizzy in his head. After arranging some defensive talismans around his bed, Ning Xiu fell headlong on the bed and fell asleep.
It wasn't until the sun rose the next day that Ning Xiu finally came to his senses, he swallowed his saliva, only to feel that his throat was thirsty.
When he turned around, he happened to meet Yu Sasha's gaze on the other side.
"Both eyes are dark circles, did you see something you shouldn't see last night, and you can't sleep. The corners of Yu Shasha's mouth raised slightly, and she seemed to smile rather than smile.
"In this environment, it's not normal to be able to sleep like you, right?" Ning Xiu replied.
"Okay, since you're up, let's go have breakfast, Uncle Liu has already come over to call once, see that you are still sleeping, so I left." Yu Shasha stood up and smiled.
When he heard the word "eat", Ning Xiu inexplicably remembered the picture he saw last night in his mind, and he felt a wave of nausea in his stomach.
"What's wrong? You don't look good. Yu Shasha asked.
"Nothing, let's go. Ning Xiu shook his hand, stood up, and took the lead towards the outside of the house.
Yu Shasha looked at Ning Xiu's departing back, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, smiled, and walked out.
Ning Xiu walked to the lobby and found that the table was already full.
And Uncle Liu is distributing food to everyone.
Ning Xiu found a vacant seat and sat down, and Uncle Liu happened to walk in front of him with pots and bowls.
"Young people, it's time to grow your body. Come, eat more. ”
