"Daddy, daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! ”

In the stove room, the stupid young man was beating for the round-faced old man, but his eyes glanced in the direction of Su Ming and Li Yuxian from time to time.

"Look at your appearance!"

The round-faced old man hated iron and kicked the stupid young man's ass.

"Those two people have extraordinary temperaments, thin skin and tender meat, they are definitely not ordinary people."

"I warn you, don't go and startle the snake until you find out where they came from, or I'll put you in the ancestral hall!"

Hearing the words "ancestral hall", the stupid young man's eyes showed a trace of fear, and he was so frightened that he quickly shook his head and said:

"I don't want a daughter-in-law anymore! I don't want a daughter-in-law anymore! ”

"Smack!"

The round-faced old man raised another kick and scolded angrily: "Why don't you want a daughter-in-law!" You're the only normal person in my old Yu family! ”

"If you don't want a daughter-in-law, then my old Yu family will be the last one!"

The stupid young man's expression was a little aggrieved, he looked in the direction of the hall, and stammered: "Ke, Ke, she, she....... I don't, don't be locked up in the ancestral hall. ”

"Birth, Ancestral Hall........ Ghosts, ghosts! ”

Looking at his stupid son, the round-faced old man sighed helplessly and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as I find out that those two people are not in danger, I will definitely give you that pretty girl as a daughter-in-law." ”

"As for the young man........."

"Eat, eat, meat, meat!" The stupid young man shouted excitedly.

With a "snap", the round-faced old man patted the back of the stupid young man's head and said softly: "Give me a little quiet!" Don't let those two hear you! ”

As he spoke, the round-faced old man brought a wooden stool, then stood on it and took a piece of blackened bacon from the beam.

Looking at the smoky piece of black meat in his hand, the round-faced old man couldn't help but roll his throat, then put it on the tip of his nose and sucked it hard.

The unique aroma of smoked meat permeated his nose, and the round-faced old man threw the piece of meat in his hand to the stupid young man.

"This piece of meat has been sitting for a long time, you can cook it later, anyway, there will be fresh meat replenishment later."

The stupid young man swallowed his saliva, resisted the thought of eating it raw in his heart, and nodded with a smile.

Not long after, the round-faced old man and the stupid young man walked into the house with two plates of wild vegetables and a large pot of boiled pork slices.

"Come, little brother and girl, it's time to eat."

Putting the slices of wild vegetables and meat on the table, the round-faced old man went to fetch four bowls of rice bran.

Looking at the rice bran rice that was kneaded into cakes in the bowl, Li Yuxian frowned slightly: "Eh, don't you have any rice here?" ”

"Rice?"

The round-faced old man's expression was a little bitter, and he smiled helplessly: "I said girl, rice is fine grain, how can we afford to buy fine grain in a small place like our poor countryside?" ”

"Thank God for having rice bran to eat every day."

Li Yuxian fell silent when he heard this.

She grew up in the palace since she was a child, with fine clothes and food, where would she have thought that the most common rice in the palace was actually the best food in the eyes of the common people.

Su Ming didn't care, and ate the rice bran rice in the bowl.

The taste of rice bran is a bit scratchy to the mouth, but the round-faced old man mixed some wheat bran and a small amount of bean flour in it, which makes it a little milder.

It's not unpleasant, but it's not delicious either.

"Meat, you eat, eat."

The stupid young man with a fat head and big ears pushed the black pot with bacon and Tang soup in front of Li Yuxian.

Looking at the fat and thin, crystal clear bacon in the pot, Su Ming's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

"Thank you for your kindness, but recently we have been chanting Buddha and taking meat precepts, so we can only eat vegetarians."

Seeing Su Ming's eyes, Li Yuxian put down his chopsticks and agreed: "Yes, we can't eat meat recently." ”

Seeing that Li Yuxian didn't eat, the stupid young man was a little lost.

"That's a pity." The round-faced old man didn't force Su Ming to eat them, picked up a piece of crystal fat and put it in his mouth, and ate it by himself.

"By the way, little brother, are you two husband and wife?" The round-faced old man suddenly asked.

"No, she's just friends."

Su Ming replied, and then changed the subject: "By the way, old man, I just found that the people in your village are all pale, what's going on?" ”

The round-faced old man paused for a moment and said, "Little brother, don't you know, there is only one village in the seventy miles before and after this Huainan Road, so it can be said that there is no store in front of the village and behind the village." ”

"In addition, our village has a perennial drought and food is scarce, and we don't have the money to go to the city to buy grain, so over the years, because of malnutrition, the people in our village have become like this."

The corners of Su Ming's mouth twitched, he didn't believe the words of the round-faced old man.

Normal malnutrition will make people sallow and unenergetic, but it will not make people pale in the skin.

There is no doubt that the round-faced old man is lying.

"Old man, I still don't understand something, why do you have talisman paper on the doors and windows of every house in your village? Is there an evil cult in the village? ”

"Little brother, you are really good at laughing, in this peaceful and prosperous world, there will be evil spirits there?"

The round-faced old man smiled and continued: "It's just that a Taoist priest passed by our village in the past and said that the feng shui in our village is not very good, so he posted a talisman on every household in our village, saying that it was a town house. ”

Su Ming let out an "oh" and didn't continue to ask.

After dinner, Su Ming pulled Li Yuxian and wanted to go to the village to hang out, but the round-faced old man did not stop them, but just told them to come back early.

The sky was already dark, and after leaving the courtyard of the round-faced old man, Li Yuxian asked suspiciously:

"Su Ming, what did you find just now? Is there a problem with that bacon? ”

"No problem, I just want to eat some vegetarian food."

Su Ming replied perfunctorily, he was afraid that if he told the truth, he would let Li Yuxian spit out the rice bran and wild vegetables he had just eaten.

Wandering around the village in the cold wind, Su Ming suddenly noticed something strange.

It was already night, but the whole village was dark, and not a single house was lit up.

Through the meager moonlight, Su Ming also found that in the dark wooden houses around him, there seemed to be ghosts hiding one after another, staring at himself and Li Yuxian secretly.

"The villagers of this village are very strange, their skin is pale and bloodless, and they hate fire and love darkness........."

"If it weren't for the popularity of them, then they would be no different from the walking dead."

Su Ming silently observed this strange village, while Li Yuxian followed him closely, his expression a little frightened.

She always felt something staring at her, and she felt a chill down her spine.

Walking from the head of the village to the end of the village, Li Yuxian suddenly found a bright light in front of him.

"Su Ming, look, what is that?"

As Li Yuxian's gaze looked, an ancestral hall full of red and white lanterns appeared in his eyes.

Looking at the ancestral hall, Su Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

Around that ancestral hall, there was a deep resentment.

Suddenly, a yin wind blew, followed by a sharp sound.

"Get out of here!"
