Guobei County is adjacent to Yuncheng. Although the distance is not far, there is still a distance. Jiang Chen and Wang Erlang went down the mountain. In the evening, we came to a village. At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was dark, but Wang Erlang had no intention of leading Jiang Chen into the village to rest. Instead, he frowned and said, "Why did you come here? "
"Why?" Looking at the village that was gradually shrouded in darkness, Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing and asked, "What's wrong here?"
Wang Erlang said: "This is a deserted village, because the land in the village was barren, and then because the river dried up, the rain was less, and the harvest in the field was even worse. There was a few years of famine, and most of the people in the village moved. After leaving, there were rumors of ghosts, and even passers-by were unwilling to enter to rest, so, as early as a few years ago, this village was only an empty shell. Please-small-say-net”
"It's not necessarily an empty shell." While speaking, Jiang Chen pointed to a hut not far from the entrance of the village: "Look, isn't there someone there?"
Wang Erlang looked in the direction of Jiang Chen's finger, and sure enough, there was a small farmyard there, and there were some faint lights in a thatched hut in the courtyard.
"This" he used to go to Guobei County, back and forth, and passed by here a lot, but it was during the daytime, and he had never visited the village, so he really didn't know. He thought it had already happened. In a village that is a deserted village, there are still people there: "I heard that this place was already a deserted village a few years ago? How could there be people still here?"
"If you want to know the reason, let's go in and have a look." Jiang Chen chuckled and urged his horse to go forward, Wang Erlang followed closely behind.
The two soon entered the village, and before reaching the small courtyard, they each got off their horses. Wang Erlang stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door, and shouted: "Is the master home there?" I want to stay overnight, I don’t know if it’s possible”
After a while, there was a soft "squeak", the door of the courtyard room opened, and a trembling old man came out. He seemed to be almost seventy years old, but his body was still strong , holding an old oil lamp in his hand, without using crutches, he entered the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and by the dim light of the oil lamp, took a look at the appearance of Wang Erlang and Jiang Chen, and saw that they were two young men who looked like scholars, Immediately said quickly: "It turns out that the two sons are here, as long as you don't dislike the shabby and dilapidated little old man's house, you can just come in and rest."
"Excuse me." Jiang Chen and Wang Erlang responded, and then followed the old man inside. After entering the room, it was indeed very simple. In the main room of the huge living room, there was only a wooden bed, a table, There are a few benches and a few old teacups, but they are cleaned fairly cleanly.
"Two young masters, please sit down. The old man's house is shabby, and the guests laughed at him." Entering the house, the old man warmly greeted Jiang Chen and Wang Erlang to take their seats, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and sighed He said: "It's just that the little old man's village was plagued by natural disasters in the early years, droughts, floods and famines. People in the village walked and died. There is only little old man left alive around here. Lonely, alas, poor"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: So, it was because he was lonely and wanted to find someone to talk to, so he didn't eat the two of them right away? As a cultivator in the realm of the Yang God, how could he? Can't you feel the strong dead air in this room?
However, after all, Wang Erlang is just an ordinary person. Hearing the old man's words, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic, and hurriedly said: "Old man, I am grateful for your shelter tonight. When we leave at dawn, we will definitely reward you with a lot of money."
"Ah, you are leaving at dawn." The old man may have been lonely for a long time, and he was full of reluctance in his words. He turned and walked to the kitchen next door, and said in his mouth: "After a day of driving You must be hungry too, I just slaughtered a two-legged sheep a few days ago, and there is still a lot of meat left, although it is not a good thing, it can just be used as a supplement for you."
"Two-legged sheep, can there be two-legged sheep in this world?" Wang Erlang was puzzled, but he responded politely, "Then thank you, old man."
"No thanks, no thanks." The old man waved his hands again and again, trembling into the kitchen next door, picked up a knife from the stove and began to sharpen it. I don't know how long this knife has been placed, and it is already rusted The old man did not have much strength, and it was very difficult to sharpen the knife. The voice of "Zhi la Zhi la" was harsh, and in this silent night, it made people feel particularly creepy.
Wang Erlang subconsciously tightened the teacup in his hand, but Jiang Chen listened leisurely, as if he had no sympathy at all, and just watched the old man struggling to work in the kitchen.
"Old man" Finally, Wang Erlang couldn't bear it anymore. With a cry, he put down the tea bowl in his hand and was about to get up and go to the kitchen to help, but he never thought that at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed He felt as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, and he unconsciously sat down on the stool again.
"Master Zhiqiu, why are you doing this?" Wang Erlang asked with a frown.
"No reason, I just want you to sit here safely." Jiang Chen said with a smile, "You won't listen to me, why, don't you want to save your friend's life?"
"This" Wang Erlang couldn't help but said: "I just saw my old man's hard work by himself, and wanted to go over and help him. What does this have to do with saving my friend's life?"
"Of course it's related." The smile on Jiang Chen's face became stronger, he looked at Wang Erlang with a bit of playfulness on his face, and said jokingly: "If you are alive, you can naturally take me there. Save your friend, but if you die, I will be left alone, so I don’t care to go to Guobei County to save a stranger who knows no good or evil.”
When Wang Erlang heard the words, he couldn't help being taken aback, and asked with a bit of stupidity: "Master Zhiqiu, what do you mean by saying that?"
"It's nothing interesting, listen to me, sit down obediently, don't drink tea, don't eat meat, don't touch things here, soon, you'll know what's going on." , and did not have the slightest intention to immediately respond to Wang Erlang's question.
Out of trust and respect for Jiang Chen, although he had doubts, Wang Erlang sat quietly in his seat as he said.
In the kitchen, the old man is busy. At this moment, he has sharpened his knife and is chopping meat on the chopping board. There is a life under the stove, and a pot of water is boiling. He puts the chopped meat into the pot. After a while, the water boiled, and the meat was cooked, exuding a burst of fragrance.
Although "Gulu" was full at noon, he had traveled all afternoon. At this moment, Wang Erlang was already hungry. He smelled the smell of meat and couldn't help swallowing.
Soon, the old man roughly cut the cooked meat, put them in bowls and put them on the table. What kind of tricks did the old man use, the meat exudes a strong fragrance, which can't help stimulating people's taste glands.
"Eat, eat, don't be dazed, eat quickly." The old man urged Jiang Chen and Wang Erlang repeatedly, his face full of courteous smiles.
"This..." Wang Erlang swallowed again and again. Although he kept Jiang Chen's words in mind, the meat on the table was really delicious, and he was really hungry. Hold the chopsticks.
"Yeah" muttered~IndoMTL.com~Jiang Chen gave him a warning look, and said angrily, "Why can't I hold on to this, don't forget what I told you just now."
"You can't drink tea, you can't eat meat, and you can't touch the things here." Wang Erlang replied honestly, but he was holding back so hard, and his face inevitably showed a bit of pain.
The old man asked strangely: "This son's words make people feel very strange, why can't you eat meat, drink tea, and even move things?"
Wang Erlang also asked strangely: "Yes, why?"
"Because" Jiang Chen paused for a while before saying with a smile that was not a smile: "The food and drink here are not something a living person can afford."
"Joke" the old man snorted: "It's not something that the living can bear, so can it be used by the dead?"
"That's right, it's for the dead." Jiang Chen stared at the old man closely with a pair of eyes with an inexplicable indifference, "Why, old man, have you been dead for too long, even yourself Have you forgotten that you are already dead?"
