【013】Stingy kindness
Jiang Rong was very familiar with He Pengfei's house in the neighboring village. It had the same wooden door and the same position. Inside the house, there was a pair of dark coffins.
The old man walked straight ahead like a host, stretched out his curved and thick-knuckled fingers, and opened the door. In a voice like a broken gong, he said with a smile: "Hehe, you guys, come in if you don't mind. There are still people at home."
I'll cook sweet potatoes for you."
Zhiqing glanced at both of their faces with questioning eyes. Both of them lowered their heads and said nothing in embarrassment, and he was also embarrassed to ask questions directly. The three of them followed in silently, without any awkwardness at all.
shape.
There was no coffin as expected in the room, and there was a lounge chair directly opposite. What caught the eye was the very old-fashioned furniture, especially the gilt-carved frame of the divine cage (a wooden cabinet used for worshiping gods).
What attracted their attention the most was this old-fashioned furniture with gilt and carved patterns. It is said that it is still an antique and quite valuable.
Outside the house, Zhiqing, Jiang Rong and He Pengfei could still clearly judge the environment, but when they entered the house, it was different. They completely regarded this place as Menling Village and looked at it.
Looking at these antique furniture, a sense of awe arose spontaneously. All the previous doubts about the old man were weakened a lot without realizing it.
The old man was really cooking for them, slowly cleaning the dirt on the sweet potatoes, and slowly staring at the three of them. The shadows of the three of them were reflected in the cloudy old eyes, and the long gaze seemed to make the three of them deeply.
It's like sucking it into the pupils.
Jiang Rong felt cold all over for no reason, and whispered: "The old man's eyes are very scary." She looked around, stood up suddenly, and avoided the old man's gaze from the kitchen.
He Pengfei turned to look at the old man. The old man was lowering his head to peel the skin. He wasn't looking at them! "Pfft, you just made a fuss. How can this old man like beauty in his dying years?"
His joke was not funny at all. Jiang Rong was so angry that she jumped up and wanted to lift the wooden stool under her butt and hit him with it.
Zhiqing had no interest in getting involved in the two people's banter and laughter. He frowned, smacked his lips and said, "Why don't you two just calm down?"
"Look at how angry she is. A good man won't fight with a woman." He Pengfei said playfully when he saw Jiang Rong glaring with anger.
Jiang Rong was about to have a seizure, and the sweet and greasy smell of sweet potatoes filled every corner of the house from the melon scoop brought by the old man.
At this time, sweet potatoes were a luxury product that pleased the five internal organs. Jiang Rong ignored the girl's reserve and grabbed the biggest and fattest one, tore off the skin and put it into her mouth to chew.
He Pengfei was not to be outdone. He held one in each hand, eating the right one first, then the left one. He didn't peel it, so he just gobbled it up.
Zhiqing maintained his scholarly demeanor and picked it up carefully, while the two children picked out the remaining small sweet potatoes. Under the gaze of the old man, he slowly put it into his mouth and took a bite. "Not bad, the taste is pure and sweet."
The old man squinted his eyes with interest as he watched these three uninvited guests chewing sweet potatoes, with an invisible sneer on his lips.
A sound like a broken gong sounded, and the sweet potato melted by the saliva slid into the throat. The old man looked very serious. Anyway, he was like that, with no expression and looked very attractive. He said seriously: "In the evening, you guys
Don't go either, just stay in the house and I'll make sure you have a good night."
When Zhiqing heard what he said was wrong, he stopped chewing and put half of the sweet potato in his hand gently on the dining table. He said frankly: "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it frankly. Don't hide it.
Children are not generally very curious. If you say this, they will want to find out."
The old man smiled meaningfully, and the wrinkles on his face made his eyes bulge. "It's okay, I'm just worried about you, if you go out at night and get lost in the village."
Jiang Rong and He Pengfei looked at each other in tacit understanding, and frowned slightly. While slowly enjoying the sweet potatoes, they were also recalling the meaning of the old man's uncoordinated words.
Night came as scheduled, without the hustle and bustle of the city, without the bright lights. The three people who were tossing and turning in different rooms and on different beds were all thinking about one person at the same time. Where was Zhong Kui?
A heavy-duty truck that rumbled and made a lot of noise, panting, parked in a desolate area far away from the crowded area. It was almost uninhabited. Apart from the rugged and bare mountain peaks, the only things left were sand, dust and weeds.
In the dust and weeds
It was a pack of wolves and some carnivorous creatures. They were dragged out of the truck compartment and thrown into the weeds like abandoned waste. They felt no pain, but felt that their whole bodies were on fire.
Sore, chapped lips with bleeding beads oozing out from them.
The truck rumbled away, leaving behind a trail of thick dust that had no time to follow the tires, and him curled up in the sand and weeds. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he couldn't move... A pair of green and fierce eyes in the distance were looking at him.
When he was thrown down, he stared at him closely.
They were a couple of wolves. The female wolf had a big belly and it looked like she was going to give birth soon. The male wolf, spitting scarlet red saliva, stepped closer to the prey that smelled of blood.
In the eyes of the male wolf, this is a giant prey that can be stored. If the wife wants to give birth, she must store food for her to use during the birth. They wandered around for a long time without finding any food, but this time they got rich.
Unfortunately, this prey was too huge, about 1.7 meters long, and its tall body should have weighed 70 kilograms. The male wolf thought that the delicious food was right in front of him, and he ticked even more frequently... He simply started his limbs and slipped away.
Trotting, wanting to bite off the prey's neck as quickly as possible so that he won't feel any pain when he wakes up.
The male wolf was just a stone's throw away from the man, and he saw that his plan was about to succeed. Suddenly, a dark black wind swept over him.
The wolf sends a silent warning.
The male wolf raised the tip of his nose, stopped running, whined regretfully, and wagged his tail. He backed away reluctantly, and then backed away...
Standing next to the man who was curled up on the ground and dying, he laughed wildly and said shamelessly: "You are the one I have a bet with, you can't just die like this. It's too easy for you to die like this."
How about you let me be a kind gentleman for once and save your life?"
No one answered his words, only the whistling of the wind and a shrill whine swirling in the empty sand. A drop of clear water tickled on the lips of the man on the ground. The man continued to talk to himself: "Take you with me
Look at the conspiracy and conspiracy created by you humans, but you foolishly thought it was you. Hahaha, stupid
Stupid humans. The humans in the town have been brainwashed by their companions. Naturally, they don’t recognize who you are. The heavy truck that almost killed you was to transport the brainwashed humans to the town. You once trampled on me, me.
