More than an hour later, Mu Ziyun and a few people found an alley, sat down in a row against the wall, everyone was wet, I don't know if it was sweat or lake water, they were all embarrassed, even the majestic Wang Xu was like a frosted eggplant, and was subdued by this water reflecting the city that went up and down.

The crowd did not have the strength to speak, and they did not want to go on. The girls snuggled, while the men sat lazily and crookedly, and in a short time there was movement around them.

If it hadn't moved the thing, Mu Ziyun would have thought it was a dirty black iron bucket with a lid. But I didn't expect it to be a small creature, and the so-called iron bucket lid is like a hat hijab that humans wear when it rains, and its whole appearance is hidden in the special bucket-like clothes, revealing only a blue-yellow eye in the dark.

Fang Tianmu's starry eyes had seen what it was early on, but he didn't think it was any threat, so he was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, not wanting to pay attention to it. I never thought that the creature opened his mouth to speak, and it was actually a human language, such a small creature, the voice of the vicissitudes of life, like the timbre of a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old human man, but the voice seemed to be stuck with hair, always a little hoarse, making people itch to listen to it.

What the creature said, "You can't control the choice of fate, and the one you can choose should be the best." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Huzi looked at this guy dumbfounded, and asked, "Are you human?" He tilted his head and whispered to everyone: "The human beings in this world are like such birds? ”

The bell had a small wooden stick in his hand that he had picked up to explore the way, and gently poked the creature's clothes, and it rang a few times like hitting iron, and the bell said, "If you don't speak, I thought you were a bucket." ”

"There's a lot of things in the New World that you can't imagine." The creature returned.

The bell retorted: "The world I came to has too many things that you can't see, so you villain?" Or small... What are you? ”

"Boom," the creature laughed, "I'm just a resident of this magical city. ”

"It's just a little up, a little down." The bell said angrily, "What else is magical. ”

The creature doesn't seem to have any concerns about strangers, it seems to have opened the conversation, saying a big bucket of trivial things related to humans, but really useless, as if it is deliberately approaching everyone, this may also be the temperament of the residents of Water Reflection City. The bell interrupted it and quickly asked it to say the point, what else was magical about it besides the water floating on the ground. The reason why it is called this name is not that the roads in this city are intricate to 10,000, nor does it mean that there are creatures from all over the world, but that this small city is spread in all directions, countless "stories" on the road, anecdotes, myths and legends, demons and monsters, absurd and fantastic stories, which make people listen to them for a year without repeating them.

Everyone here can blurt out hundreds of interesting stories, and the creatures who came out of the boundary gate and were guided here by the "immortals" must also leave a few anecdotes that they have experienced or known, almost all of which are included in the blood of the "Wanlu City", and are known and spread by later creatures.

"Speaking of humans, I know of a story that has recently come out about them. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." The crowd came with interest and listened attentively.

After the creature made a feint, he began to chatter: "The protagonist of this story says that he is a human, but it also ends with a cat, which can be simply understood as - cats eat people." ”

"Can cats still eat people?" "I'm afraid that person is a baby." ”

The creature coughed twice, and said very dissatisfiedly: "In Shuiying City, you can't interrupt, this is the rule, especially when telling a story. ”

"Okay, okay." The bell stuck out his tongue, crossed his legs smartly, and leaned his back against Mu Ziyun's side, "You speak, I won't speak." ”

The creature reluctantly cleared his throat and said: "I heard that human interests change dramatically every thirty years, thirty years ago it was absurd to think about, thirty years later it may become a popular trend, the human beings in that place had a hobby at first, that is, to eat, the faster and more they eat, the more sought after and respected, the protagonist of the story is just born fat like a piglet in the circle, one can suck the milk that other babies can suck in seven or eight mouthfuls to suck, five or six years old is as strong as a tree stump, fourteen or fifteen years old, the limbs are reduced, Press your head down to make it a round bucket of meat, rolling from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. ”

"This guy was selected to be a warrior, to represent the village to participate in any competition about eating, when he became an adult, he heard that one meal can eat two sheep, the turning point of the story, is the interest of human beings, it can only last for thirty years, eating suddenly became the most normal thing, no one will be stupid to eat desperately, they prefer to enjoy the delicious food, this human just reached the prime of life, it lost its value, and in the prime of life, he was as heavy as a cow, and his calves were as thick as a tree trunk, The once admired warrior has become a monster. He had a son, and he turned out to be like a stick, and his waist was not as thick as his father's wrist, and he was ......"

"The son can't afford to raise her, and he doesn't treat her, no one wants to care about him, if he can't do anything, he can only starve to death, there is nothing else in that little place, but there are so many cats.... Boom.... Stray cats, more than people, this guy has found a way to make money and still have enough to eat, he is juggling in the streets, watching him sit bloated on a chair that can make beds for others, and move his arms, those five or six sections of meat. There are a few cats' heads in the cracks, and you can spend some money to guess where the next cat is hiding, and it suddenly becomes another human interest. ”

They could never guess where the last cat was, though, it had been skinned, gutted, scalded, and hidden in the guy's mouth. You see he swallows a little saliva, it's time for the game to end. He never keeps cats, there are so many cats on the street, his son will catch them for him, and after the show, he will eat them, and when he uses them again, he will catch new ones, they rely on this method to feed themselves, and they really make a lot of money.

But after another thirty years, people were tired again, and the guy was old, and he stayed in the empty house, sitting on that chair, next to the cage where the cat was kept, and only humans with less bad taste would be willing to watch his performance, and later, when he was old, he was too lazy to move, and cleaned the hair on the cat's body, and he could eat it, just like eating a melon and fruit, and the cat in the street was afraid that he had eaten a few feet, and the ones in the cage were also bought, and he didn't eat anything else.

One day, he had a fight with his son, who slammed the door in anger and forgot to close the cat cage. I decided to come back two days later, and guess what you saw, ... They never had the habit of feeding cats, they hadn't fed them for decades, and the cats were crazy, and they crawled out of their cages, looking for food, and finally they set their sights on the pile of meat, and the guy had eaten the leftover cat bones, and he could pile up a mountain, and finally he had to return the meat he had eaten. The cats cut the belly of the guy little by little from the sharp claw tips the size of human fingernails, and it took a long time to cut through the flesh and bleed, and as soon as a hole appeared, the cats desperately poked their heads inside, and they were terrible.... When the son came back, he saw his father sitting on his back on a chair, his face was very calm, but his eyes were wide open, and there were nine cat tails stuck in his round belly, and those cats, after getting into it, tore everywhere, but they were accidentally crushed to death by the internal organs of the broken guy, and the son came closer to look at his father's eyes, but found that there was a cat's head in his left eye, and it turned out that a cat had crawled there and was suffocating.

His son was extremely guilty, but he still pushed his father out of the door, relying on this appearance, and earned the last money, and he was so embarrassed... Later, I ran away, and I heard that I had been raising cats, and I was like a firewood stick for the first few decades, but after raising cats, I got fat, and I was so bad..."

The creature stopped talking, probably finished. Bell got goosebumps when she heard this, and said tentatively, "Are you done talking?" ”

"Well," said the creature as if he were a ghost, "and guess why his son got fat when he got a cat later?" ”

The bell shuddered, folded his arms, shook his head, and said, "I don't like this story, you might as well not tell it, I'm uncomfortable now, I don't want to hear anything, don't say it." ”

"I'm too...."Kite looked embarrassed.

Huzi asked with a serious face, "Why?" Did his son eat too? That's what it means. ”

The creature kept laughing in a low voice, but it just didn't reply, and only then did he say: "It's just a small story, but cats are used to being treated as pets by humans, but they can really eat people, and they can really eat people..."

Fang Tianmu, who had been closing his eyes, cast his gaze over, very indifferent, and with a murderous aura, which made the creature wrapped in clothes like an iron bucket very jealous, Fang Tianmu only stared at it, squinted, and said coldly: "Hide your tail." ”

The creature shook coldly, and immediately turned his head to look down, but found that the "iron bucket" was not unusual, it turned out that Fang Tianmu was deceiving him, but this creature looked at Fang Tianmu vigilantly, and then said with a smile: "It's just a story, relieve boredom, you can go over there, most of them are water below, it is more convenient to walk, and I said goodbye." ”

After finishing speaking, he left, walking very strangely, as if he was lame, left and right, high and low, very unsmooth, and Fang Tianmu was not deceiving him, his starry eyes penetrated the iron bucket and saw clearly its hidden wobbling cat tail.
