It was getting late, the day was getting dark, the cold wind was blowing in the valley, and the fallen leaves were stacked on the ground.

With a bang, the heavy gate was lifted by iron chains, and a wheelbarrow carrying four or five large wooden barrels slowly pushed into the Sword Gorge.

As usual, the old man, whose face was wrinkled like a knife, pushed his cart through every stone prison and distributed the food from the barrels to the prisoners.

But this time, the old man divided the meal, and at the end of the day, he had to ask again: "Is there anyone who will play tomorrow?"

Straight to the third room.

The old man said through the iron door, "Is there anyone who will play tomorrow?"

No one answered for a moment.

Just as the old man turned to go, a hoarse and weak voice sounded, "...... I, I'm going to play tomorrow. ”

The old man shook his head, walked straight to the front of the cart, and took three small white porcelain dishes and a pot of wine.

The old man handed the wine and food into the gap between the iron doors, and a pair of hands stretched out inside, trembling very much.

The old man sighed and pushed the wheelbarrow to the next stone prison. When people are about to die, they will have great terror in their hearts, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and unable to eat. What's more, they will scare themselves to death, and their faces will be blue, and they will hear that it is caused by the rupture of bitter gall.

The man took the food and drink, and retracted into the corner, and under the light of the lamp and candle, a white and miserable face could be seen, and the lips were bloodless. There are three dishes on the ground in front of him, a plate of rabbit leg meat, a plate of sauce lamb tongue, and another plate of dry-roasted soybean sprouts. This pot of wine costs a full eight taels.

He picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but his wrist shook too fiercely, and the tips of the chopsticks kept hitting the wall of the dish, clanging, and even half of the meat could not be clamped. The man simply threw away the bamboo chopsticks, reached out and grabbed a piece of lamb tongue and stuffed it into his mouth, and without chewing it carefully, he swallowed it, but he didn't want to be stuck in his throat by the piece of meat, and his face turned purple, so he hurriedly pulled out the stopper of the wine jug and poured a few large mouthfuls. The slices of meat were easy to swallow, and I was choked with tears by the smell of wine. In anger, he kicked the three white porcelain plates out with one kick, and the rabbit legs and sheep's tongue rolled around, rolling to the feet of others, but no one was willing to pick them up and eat them, probably because they were afraid of bad luck.

When the man saw this, he suddenly began to weep in a low and depressed voice, as if no one had heard it, and continued to eat and drink.

The wheelbarrow stopped in front of the door of a stone house in the deepest part of the valley, and the old man put down the wine and food and left.

Guan Ren saw that there was not only a weekday meal on the table, but also three dishes of side dishes and a pot of wine, and said strangely: "What's the matter today?

The old man said: "Ciyang rice is for you." ”

Guan Ren frowned and puzzled: "For me?"

Xiao Su suddenly looked apologetic, "Guan Gongzi, I'm sorry, it's all because of me, and you are involved." Tomorrow you have to go into a fight with others, and according to the rules, one of the two people must die before you stop. The meal before the competition was: 'Ciyang Rice', which means that it is ......"

Xiao Su's original intention was to say, 'After eating Ciyang rice, don't be a starving ghost', but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't bear to say it.

Guan Ren understood the meaning of her words, and said with a smile: "The name of this meal, let's not care about it for the time being." It's just that now that you're pregnant, it's time to eat some good supplements to replenish your body. Mutton is warm and can ward off cold. Rabbit meat is the best to eat in autumn, and it is perfect for you to replenish your body. ”

Xiao Su hurriedly said: "No, no, no, how can I eat, this is for you to ......" At this point, Xiao Shu hurriedly covered his mouth and almost lost his mouth.

Guan Ren pretended to be angry and said, "Do you want me to use it on the road?"

Xiao Su panicked: "No, no, I didn't mean that." ”

Guan Ren said coldly: "This meal will be bad luck when you listen to it, you come to eat." ”

Xiao Su nodded again and again, and hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in his mouth, "I'll eat, don't be angry." There were tears in her eyes, but she desperately refused to let them out.

Guan Ren put a plate of green vegetables into the rice, took the bowl, picked up the wine jug, came to the valley, and ate it with his back against the mountain wall. At this time, it was very dark very early, the night was already closed, and the starry sky overhead was shining. Guan Ren shouted towards the stone house: "Old man, come out to admire the moon and see the stars." ”

The old man was not an active character, but now he was in the same room with a yellow-haired girl, and he felt awkward, and when he heard Guan Ren calling him, he did not hesitate, and immediately came out of the air and sat side by side with Guan Ren against the mountain.

Guan Ren handed the wine jug to the lame old man and said, "Give her the food, give you the wine, drink it." ”

The old man frowned, and his tone mocked: "Why, I'm afraid that I don't even dare to drink wine for fear of taboos?" he asked, feeling a little contemptuous in his heart.

Guan Ren smiled: "I'm afraid of a fart, I respect you." ”

The woman in red in the stone house was chewing rabbit meat carefully, when suddenly her mouth was sour, and tears fell cracklingly.

The old man took the wine jug and said with a smile: "Little rabbit, shouldn't you be, you have something to ask the old man?"

Guan Ren took a few mouthfuls of rice, the bowl had bottomed out, put the dishes and chopsticks aside, and said, "Do me a favor." ”

"How can I help?"

Guan Ren pointed to the girl in red in the stone room, "Send her out." ”

The old man took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked quite enjoyable: "Wine is good wine, but it's just that it's too cheap for you to exchange a pot of wine for a life?"

Guan Ren groaned for a while, "Then I will worship you as a teacher, and if you say kowtow a few heads, you will kowtow a few times." It's always right to be a master and help an apprentice, right?"

The old man was stunned, his smile disappeared little by little, and he suddenly put the wine jug in his hand in front of Guan Ren, and scolded: "Don't fuck fart, Lao Tzu won't drink your wine, and I won't accept you as an apprentice, get out, hurry up and get that girl away." ”

Guan Ren and the old man quarreled twice, and they were unhappy.

A red figure walked out of the stone room, stood in front of the two, hung his head, and said apologetically: "Don't quarrel, I'm sorry, it's all my ......"

Before he finished speaking, the old man snorted coldly, and returned to the stone house.

Guan Ren looked up and smiled: "This old man has always had such a temper, don't take it to heart." ”

Xiao Su came to Guan Ren and sat down slowly, and the dewy stone wall was cold.

"I'll find a time to escape, and Childe must not beg for me again. If you owe your son, it will be difficult to pay it off in this life and this life, and if you make it difficult for your son because of me, I will not be at ease in this life. ”

Guan Ren smiled: "It's not difficult at all, you just have to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and I will arrange other things." ”

In the night sky overhead, a meteor suddenly flashed, wrapped in heavenly fire, dragging a long tail light, paddling from one end of the canyon to another, and finally disappeared.

Xiao Su quietly ripped open the placket, revealing a pair of snow-white shoulders, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "How did Childe come here?"

Guan Ren looked at the sky and said faintly: "I drank with people, I was accidentally drugged by wine, and I woke up here." ”

Xiao Su gently faded her skirt, leaving only a thin little dress on her body, with a slender and graceful bodyline. When the cool breeze blows, the skin trembles slightly.

She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said nervously, "Gong...... Son. ”
