Chapter 236: The Skinner
There was a fire burning in the house, and Chen Wangdao squatted on the side to roast the fire, and beckoned to me, "Mr. Zhuge , come in."
The old man picked up the tin teapot and poured us tea.
I hesitated, but still floated in with Zhao Meng.
Entering the wooden house, the furniture is simple, with only a square table and a few rattan chairs.
There was dust on the windowsill, and the room was not damp, but it smelled of ink like annualization.
A 100-square-meter wooden house with a total of four rooms in addition to the living room.
Presumably to prevent moisture and ventilation, the room has no door, only half of the curtain as a shield.
Lao Suo's greasy and smooth face was expressionless, "Several, my wife is in the house with insoles, she is not in good health, don't disturb her."
"There are three rooms left, you can choose at will."
I nodded, looked in the direction of the old man, and saw an old woman sitting cross-legged on the bed with her back to us, embroidering something with flying needles and threads.
After saying that, the old man went into the house.
The four of us sat in the living room, drying off the moisture by the fire.
I took out the compressed biscuits and handed them to Zhao Mengfu, took out two more bottles of energy drinks, and whispered, "The place is remote, there is no hot food, let's make do with it."
"I don't eat it, I want to eat donkey meat!"
I know that Zhao Mengfu is still losing his temper and blames me for letting the two donkeys go.
"Love to eat or not."
I threw the compressed biscuits at Zhao Mengfu's feet, unpacked them and ate them.
Chen Wangdao and Ma Kun took out the white porcelain bowl from their arms, put the fried flour in the bowl, washed it with hot water, and drank the batter.
Zhao Mengfu was dumbfounded, "What are you drinking?"
Chen Wangdao smiled and said, "Stir-fry the flour, flush the water and put some sugar, drink it to warm your body."
"Would you like some?"
Zhao Mengfu twisted a little flour and put it in his mouth, "Phew! It's too bitter, it's not something that people eat at all!"
In the room, the old man's displeased voice was heard, "Please be quiet."
"I'm sorry."
I hurriedly apologized, and then slapped Zhao Mengfu on the head, "How can you talk to people!"
Chen Wangdao smiled and said, "It's okay. We people who run the rivers and lakes are used to hardship. Our food is really unaccustomed to ordinary people."
Ma Kun stared at the compressed biscuit in my hand, "Master, I want to eat this."
"Here you go, little brat."
Zhao Mengfu threw his share over and asked curiously, "You guys are living so hard, and you have to go over mountains and mountains, why can't you get along with yourself?"
"Just go to the city, even if you find a job as a gatekeeper, it's better than you."
I glared at Zhao Mengfu, "If you can't speak, you can not speak!"
Chen Wangdao smiled and played a round game, "It's okay, there is no malice in Miss Zhao's words, I can hear it."
"The girl doesn't know, those of us who run the rivers and lakes, most of the five disadvantages and three deficiencies are a little bit dirty, and we need to inherit a skill and run the yin road for a lifetime in order to change our lives in the yang world."
"For example, my little apprentice is a yin child, born with a disability, and he has been able to live until now by relying on the nourishment of corpse qi."
During the meal, I had a brief conversation with Chen Wangdao.
This pair of masters and apprentices are drifting people in the rivers and lakes, and their fates are uncertain, but they are both good people.
I gradually let go of my guard, and after eating, I found a room with Zhao Mengfu to spend the night.
Murphy and I lived in the old man and the old lady, and Chen Wangdao and Ma Kun lived in the opposite room.
There were clean bedding on the wooden beds in the house, which was enough for us.
Zhao Mengfu was unhappy, "Zhuge Qianlong, there is clearly an empty room, you have to sleep in a room with me, pervert!"
"Don't forget, you're a man with a wife!"
I said indifferently, "Let's be clear, we're in the same room, not in the same room."
"It's twelve o'clock at night, and we'll wake up at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and everyone will sleep three and a half
hours."
"One sleeps, the other is engrossed in the vigil."
"I'll go to bed first, and you call me at half past three at night."
With that, I burrowed my head into the bed.
Zhao Mengfu was angry, "Hey, you have this!"
"You, do you have to keep one eye open when you sleep at night, for fear that someone will kill you while you are asleep!"
Ever since the last time I went down to the grave, I've learned not to trust anyone in an unfamiliar environment.
I didn't bother to explain to Zhao Mengfu, "Either listen to my orders, or let's break up and never mention the treasure hunt again."
"You!"
Zhao Mengfu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and finally forced out a smile, "Oh, Brother Qianlong, people are joking with you."
"I'll keep vigil obediently, good night and good dreams."
With Zhao Mengfu's vigil, I was relieved to close my eyes.
As my consciousness drifted into chaos, I had a nightmare, a ghost press to be exact!
I was lying on the bed, my consciousness wandering in the room, I could see my breathing evenly, my body lying on the bed, and I could also see Zhao Mengfu sitting on the edge of the bed, vigilantly watching around.
But my body was like lead, and I couldn't move.
Hiss –
Outside the door, there was a sound like a flat tire, or a poisonous snake spitting its core.
A faint yin qi approached, and the door curtain was suddenly blown open by the wind, and I suddenly saw two people, one tall and one short, standing straight at the door!
Their flesh was torn off, the outlines of their muscles were clearly visible, and the skin of their mouths was torn open to reveal the last row of gums.
There were no eyelids, two blurred flesh and blood, something that could barely be called a "human", two eyes staring at me with scarlet staring!
I'll be able to see through the surface of the person and see the inside.
The two 'monsters' with blurred flesh and blood are Chen Wangdao and Ma Kun!
Chen Wangdao opened his mouth with difficulty, and squeezed out a few words with difficulty in a low and hoarse throat: "Mr. Zhuge , run!"
"Don't!"
I sat up from the bed violently, covered in cold sweat, my chest rising and falling violently, and my heart pounding.
Zhao Mengfu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at me suspiciously, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat beads for me, "Did you have a nightmare?"
I subconsciously clasped her hand, "Thank you."
Zhao Mengfu's expression was strange, and I suddenly turned around and hurriedly shook her hand away.
Damn, half-asleep and half-awake, I almost took Zhao Mengfu for Fusang.
In the past, when I had nightmares, Fuso always used a handkerchief to wipe my sweat beads for me.
Zhao Mengfu was unhappy, "Hey, you're acting like I'm insulting you, don't be so excessive!"
I ignored Zhao Mengfu, hurriedly stood up, and took a look at the corridor.
There were no bloody footprints on the ground, and through half of the curtains, you could see Chen Wangdao and Ma Kun, sleeping soundly under the quilt.
Whew, it turned out to be just a nightmare.
I probably had such a nightmare after walking too much on the mountain road today, and I was tired and nervous.
