Walking into the hall of Canglan Pavilion, the originally empty seats were full of diners, men and women with big shoulders and round waists, slowly burying their heads in the rice, and after eating two bites, they chanted together: "Delicious!" Delicious! ”

Zhang Fu sat in the crowd and was thin like a little monkey, at this time he also took a big bite of rice, watched Heng Gu help Linghua downstairs, stuffed a mouthful of food and chewed it randomly, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and ran over: "Childe and girl want to go out?" ”

Henggu nodded: "Just go out and hang out." You're also tired of traveling, so you don't have to follow. ”

Zhang Fu readily agreed, returned to his position and continued to cook rice. The conversation was not quiet, but even so, not a single diner in the hall looked up at them.

Heng Gu held Linghua's hand and walked out into the street, not attracting anyone's attention at first, who were still slow to do their own thing.

And walking along the avenue towards the island, the more pedestrians on the road, the more strange the behavior.

They no longer had their own things to do, and almost everyone stood in the street unkempt, ragged, hunched over, staring at the sight of them, and snickering in their mouths.

The surrounding eaves were replaced by gray houses and white walls, and the golden city became gray and dilapidated. The wide avenue had somehow turned into a dusty dirt road, and the road beneath its feet narrowed, and the ground was piled with old wood and unknown insects crawling on it.

"What does it smell like?" Henggu covered his nose, "It stinks!" ”

Linghua took a deep breath, and the sour and irritating taste filled his nasal cavity: "It looks like something is rotten." ”

Henggu took his hand away, followed the smell, and found a man lying in the alley drooling, his clothes greasy into a cloud of black mud, and his body was filthy/flowing all over the ground. Beside him lay piles of wine jars, emitting a rich, pungent smell of alcohol.

Henggu found a wooden stick from the side and poked the man: "Wake up! You okay? ”

The man snorted and was poked awake, and opened his eyes in a daze, which were numb and indistinguishable from pedestrians on the street.

There were words in his mouth: "Wine...... I want to drink ......."

Before he could finish speaking, a small jar of wine appeared in his hand. The man couldn't wait to pick it up and pour two sips, and didn't forget to smack his lips after drinking: "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”

Henggu poked him with a wooden stick again, but he just turned his head slowly and let out a "Huh?" He continued to close his eyes and did not react again.

Linghua pointed to the wine that appeared out of thin air, trying to find out the source, but the scene he saw was a hazy white, and he couldn't tell anything. She pointed her finger at the already delirious man, and saw that he had been drinking all day long and not doing his job, and his wife could not bear to be reconciled with him.

"It seems that he will be accompanied by wine for the rest of his life." Linghua withdrew his fingers, looked at the mountain of wine jars in front of him, and sighed inaudibly.

Heng Gu threw away the wooden stick, led Linghua out of the alley, and said with his hands on his chest: "It turns out that what Zhang Fu told me is true, and any wish can really be fulfilled here." ”

"Nope. Don't trust what's here. The people here are weird everywhere, but Zhang Fu doesn't seem to have found it, which means that he also has a problem. Linghua solemnly grabbed his arm, "Henggu, don't trust anyone. ”

Henggu nodded: "Don't worry, I will believe you here." ”

"But don't you really want to try? Whatever you want, you can feel what you want. Maybe it's the way we get out? He tentatively held out his hand, "I want wine." ”

After a moment's silence, nothing appeared in his hand.

He tried again: "I want an ingot of gold." ”

Looking at the sky and the earth, there seems to be no reaction.

He looked at Linghua with a puzzled expression: "Why did the things that the man asked for appear immediately, and I said that there was none?" ”

"Maybe we haven't found the key yet, we should go back and ask Zhang Fu." Linghua pondered, "Zhang Fu will tell you that you can fulfill your wish here, and he will definitely tell you how to achieve it." He can bring us here, and he must have what he wants, so let's go. ”

The two returned to Canglan Pavilion along the way they came, the diners in the hall only increased, and they were still eating in a big gulp, Zhang Fu had already been squeezed out of place, so he could only squat in the corner and pick his teeth. Seeing Heng Gu and Linghua coming back, he threw the toothpick on the ground, and trotted over, smiling all over his face: "Childe and girl are back?" How's it going? ”

Heng Gu nodded first, and asked him pretending to be angry: "Brother Zhang, do you remember what you told me on the boat?" ”

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "I didn't expect Gongzi to be a transparent person, such a cheap person is not taken advantage of, you say, right?" ”

Henggu crossed his waist: "You lied to me!" It's not about thinking about anything at all! You give you back the money I gave you, and I won't play anymore! ”

Zhang Fu panicked when he heard the return of the money, and hurriedly reassured: "I have already spent all the money, and you don't want to go back." Besides, praying to God and worshiping Buddha must be sincere, son, what you really want in your heart, will give you what to achieve, just say it doesn't work! ”

Linghua suddenly realized again naively: "So that's the case, no wonder I didn't succeed in making a wish to have horns on his head just now, it turned out that I really wanted it." I wonder which god is so powerful? We'll have to say goodbye more in the future. ”

Zhang Fu saw that Linghua looked delicate and smart, and he also liked to talk to her, he covered his mouth mysteriously and whispered: "Girl, you are the god." Whoever wants, is God. ”

They sent Zhang Fu home and returned to his room. There was one more thing on the empty table, covered with a red cloth. Henggu stepped forward and lifted it, and under the cloth was a bright ingot of gold.

Heng Gu and Linghua were both shocked, and Heng Gu covered his mouth and suppressed his voice: "Really? ”

Linghua pointed to the gold and looked at him: "Why do you want gold?" ”

Heng Gu was awkward, hesitated for a long time and said: "I just want to have some silver to return to An Huai, so that you don't have to go out to earn money, and you can rest more......"

Linghua covered the red cloth: "Henggu, I know that you are for my good." But a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and anything that is not earned has to pay a price. Do you know what the price of making a wish this time is? ”

I don't know. Henggu didn't know, and Linghua didn't know either. But they had all seen the drunkard who was drunk and had seen his empty eyes.

"Isn't the soul sucked away, and the body stays here forever? Then I will never make a wish again, and even if I don't get anything, I don't want to become a walking corpse. ”

They put the gold on the table like that, and neither of them touched it again.

There was no day and night in the Void Realm, and they couldn't sleep, so they sat in front of the window and watched the Chun Nuan Pavilion opposite open the door to pick up guests. At this time, the Qinglou seems to be the most lively place in the vicinity, and the Canglan Pavilion is extremely quiet.

The men on the street seemed to have souls, and hurriedly walked into the arms of young girls, tasting the warm fragrance like jade, indulging in the sultry night.

Only one man stood and lingered in the doorway. His hair looked like he hadn't washed for months, he was wearing unfashionable rags, there were a few patches on his sleeves, and he was standing at the door with two hangs of money in his hand: "Mother Shen, I've scraped together enough money, let me go in once, just once!" ”

Mother Shen stood at the door of the crowd and greeted the dignitaries, but she didn't pay attention to the man at all, he stepped forward and asked again: "Mother Shen, let me in!" ”

"Come in, you're a stinky beggar right now, don't hang around in front of our door all day! You don't have a clean place on your body, and you still want to touch our girl? Mother Shen waved two strong men with a wave of her hand, "Get me out!" ”

The man hurriedly threw the money under Shen's mother's feet: "You are a young dog and look down on people, what did you do to me when the original master was brilliant?" You just give me one, and I don't mind any chores. The money is all given to you, and if you don't make money, you don't earn it, you say yes? ”

Mother Shen looked at the money at her feet, thought for a while, and made a look for the strong man to pick up the money: "Okay, I'll give you another chance." ”

She turned around and whispered to the turtle man, "Go and bring the newly tied up girl." ”

After a while, the man was taken up to the second floor. Followed by a girl who was pressed by a strong man and kept writhing. A ball of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and her screams were drowned out by the sounds of pleasure. The man looked back at the woman, ignored her angry gaze, and touched her face.

"Go, serve your uncle well! Hahaha...... "The strong men pushed the woman, locked the two in the hut on the second floor, locked the second floor and left. Immediately afterwards, there was a heart-rending shout from the Chun Nuan Pavilion. Downstairs, no one went to save the girl.

"Shall we help her?" Henggu clung to the window lattice, and the continuous shouting made him worry.

Linghua stroked his chest and thought for a moment: "Let's go and have a look first." ”

Heng Gu flew to the second floor of Chun Nuan Pavilion with Linghua in his arms, knocked off the lock with one palm and pushed the door open. At this moment, the second floor was as dark as late at night, and the long and narrow corridor was densely lined with bedrooms one after another. The corridor stretched like a deep hole, the darkness at the end contracted and dimmed like pupils, and a feeling of being watched flooded through my body from the bottom of my heart.

Heng Gu couldn't help but shudder, he grabbed Linghua: "Is this the case here?" ”

Linghua shook Henggu's hand back: "No. It seems that the master of the Void Realm is going to play a game with us. ”

Linghua pulled Henggu and kicked open a door, and the men and women who were having a fun time inside were shocked, and when they exited and kicked the second door, it was the same man and woman, and the same reaction...... I don't know how many kicks I had, and suddenly I heard a "killing", and then a man ran out of the room at the end in a panic.

In the dimly lit corridor, he seemed to be the only one with the candlelight on his body, running conspicuously through the dark world. The surrounding rooms were all opened, and the entire second floor was lit up, and a pair of men and women stretched out their heads and stared at the man's fleeing figure expressionlessly, pointing at him together and reading: "Murderer, murderer, murderer......"

The man covered his ears and passed past Linghua, and she clearly saw the man's face - it was Zhang Fu. There were a few blood marks on his face, but he didn't seem to be the same as when he was in Canglan Pavilion, he was much fatter, and his eyes were even more cloudy.

They walked briskly into the room at the end, where a girl lay in the brightly lit bedroom. Seeing this, Heng Gu immediately hid outside the door and asked Linghua to see the woman's situation. The woman's eyes were wide, her mouth and nose were wide open, and there was a red mole on her left cheek. A bruised pinch mark on her neck, a mark on her feet showed how hard she had struggled, and the unheaving chest proved that the struggle was futile.

Linghua walked out of the room heavily: "She's dead." ”

"This Zhang Fu killed someone! I'm going to catch him! Heng Gu looked angry and looked around for something that could hit people.

Linghua grabbed him: "Someone is coming." ”
