For some reason, Yuan Zhao didn't seem to have any appetite at dinner time. His face was pale, and he kept shaking in the chair.
"Eat, why don't you eat?"
Huai Shi picked up the spoon and scooped a bowl full of porridge for him. The white porridge was fragrant and sweet, and there were two radishes with human faces and vegetable leaves that looked like internal organs floating in it. It gave off a very appetizing smell.
In addition to the vegetable porridge, he also asked the old man to try to fry some tempura, and then made two servings of buckwheat noodles.
Only the old man accompanied them for dinner.
Linen seemed to have brought the food to his grandfather upstairs.
As for Linen's parents, the old man only said that they went out to work and didn't say anything more.
After dinner, the old man took them to a room on the second floor. It had been cleaned in advance by Linen, but it still smelled a little dusty.
The old man pointed to the soft bed and said to Huai Shi, "This is yours."
Then he pointed to the old bedding that was casually thrown on the ground and said to Yuan Zhao, "This is yours."
Okay …
Differential treatment.
Yuan Zhao was used to it.
It was better to say that he was satisfied to be able to escape from this family's kitchen alive.
No, it should be said that he was completely numb.
As soon as the door closed, he lay on his bed on the floor, unable to move, as if he had been burned out.
In the silence, only the room across the corridor could be heard. The seriously ill grandfather let out a burst of muddy gasps, like a broken bellows, mixed with hoarse coughs, and occasionally the sound of him taking a few bites after catching his breath.
The broken bones were crunched, and the old man's teeth were quite good.
After eating two servings, he began to call out hoarsely again.
"Hungry, hungry … Keiko, I'm so hungry …"
"You're so annoying, damn old man! There are still guests here. How much are you going to embarrass our family before you're willing to stop! "
The old lady angrily scolded. Soon, in the low sound of footsteps, there seemed to be the sound of a bucket being sent into the opposite door. The sound of snoring could be heard.
She ate with relish.
Huai Shi didn't expect such a big pot of porridge to be finished. If it wasn't too presumptuous, he would have knocked on the door and asked the old man if he wanted some side dishes to go with the porridge.
In short, it was fine as long as the old man ate happily.
Carrying a pink towel, Huai Shi went to brush his teeth with the toiletries that Hessian had brought over with a red face. After taking a good bath, Huai Shi felt that his tiredness had completely disappeared.
Although his chest was still heavily injured, the vegetable porridge and various dishes seemed to be rare delicacies. The ingredients were expensive. After eating two bowls, Huai Shi could clearly feel that his HP had increased.
He should be able to recover by tomorrow morning, right?
That was great.
"Why does he still look like he's half dead?" He wiped his hair and looked down at the original photo of the moaning man on the ground. "Is he just borrowing a room? Why are you so nervous … Ah, you must have never stayed at a friend's house before, right? "
This brat was so chuunibyou that he might not even have a friend.
How pitiful.
Being looked at by Huai Shi's pitiful gaze, even the weak Yuan Zhao was enraged. He climbed up from the mattress and angrily kicked Huai Shi. "They, they … Do you know what they are?"
"Is there a difference between knowing and not knowing?" Huai Shi looked at him from the corner of his eyes. "Why are you asking so many questions? They warmly entertained us for dinner and even gave us a place to stay. How can a brat like you not know how to be grateful!"
What fucking gratitude!
Yuan Zhao was almost scared out of his wits by Huai Shi's demonic appearance. If it wasn't for the fact that the family of demons and ghosts didn't have any intention of making a move, Yuan Zhao would have already fled in fright.
As if he thought of something, the way he looked at Huai Shi became extremely strange.
During dinner, the old woman seemed to be particularly attentive in filling Huai Shi's bowl with food. Occasionally, she would look at him as if he was a lively steak, indifferent and with a hint of hunger and scrutiny.
It was as if she was looking for a more delicious place …
A terrifying thought emerged in his mind: The two of them couldn't have been raised by this family of demons to be slaughtered and eaten once they became fat!
Thinking of this, he felt more and more flustered. He lowered his voice and looked at Huai Shi. "Don't you think it's too scary?"
Huai Shi shrugged indifferently. "For ordinary people, ascenders are also scary. Moreover, is there anything in hell that isn't scary? "
Casually, he pulled off the bedding and laid on the soft bed, smelling the faint dust and ancient smell. The dim yellow light illuminated the water stains on the wall. They looked like smiling faces, looking rather cute.
Ah, this feeling … That's right, it's as if I'm still living in the stone marrow hall.
Incomparably peaceful.
"Alright, hurry up and sleep." He casually turned on the light switch and covered himself with the blanket. Finally, he instructed, "The competition will start tomorrow morning, you need to conserve energy …"
Conserve energy my ass!
I think it's better to fatten you up. When you're about the same weight, you can be slaughtered and eaten.
I saw the eyes of the youngest female demon looking at you so thirstily, as if she couldn't wait to eat you alive. When the time comes, maybe her appetite will increase and she can eat a few more taels!
Yuan Zhao cursed silently, lying on the bed, unable to sleep at all.
Time passed little by little, and the night deepened.
As Huai Shi's snoring gradually sounded, he felt more and more flustered.
This time I'm f * cking done for!
The gigolo looked as if he had been completely charmed by her!
It's like those guys in cartoons who eat too much and turn into pigs … He likes this place so much that he might not like to leave even if you chase him away.
Yuan Zhao casually opened the mission panel and found that the mission of encountering demons had disappeared at some point. He didn't know if it was completed or completely failed.
There was only a blank space, as if waiting for a new mission to be triggered …
But Yuan Zhao had no clue at all.
But soon, in the silence, other than the sound of the old man coughing outside the door, there was a faint sound of footsteps, slow and gentle.
Stepping on the old floorboards, it emitted a faint creaking sound.
It was gradually approaching.
Bit by bit …
Yuan Zhao opened his eyes wide, feeling his hair stand on end in the eerie sound of approaching footsteps. Then, his heart turned cold little by little.
They're going to eat me!
Yuan Zhao quietly got up and opened his eyes wide. Through the narrow light under the door, he saw a pair of shoes standing at the door. He didn't know how long it had been there.
Resisting the urge to scream, he covered his mouth, stretched out his hand, and pushed Huai Shi hard, trying to get him to get up quickly.
But Huai Shi was already dead asleep, snoring, and couldn't wake him up at all. As if annoyed by his pushing, he raised his hand and fiddled with Yuan Zhao's wrist. With a push, Yuan Zhao couldn't help but fall onto the mattress on the floor.
And he had already turned over and continued to sleep.
He slept even more soundly.
In the silence, the sound of Yuan Zhao falling to the ground was so clear that it made his heart jump and his heart turn cold. He wanted to cry but had no tears …
There was only a gentle knock on the door.
"Mr. Huai Shi, Mr. Huai Shi … are you asleep?"
The gentle voice outside the door sounded so cold, as if it was waiting for them to fall asleep and come in to eat a glutton. Yuan Zhao covered his mouth and stared at the door with wide eyes.
But in the end, not a single ferocious female ghost came in to eat him. The person standing at the door waited for a long time, and when there was no response, he quietly left.
In the silence, there was only the soft dripping sound of the rain hitting the window.
Yuan Zhao held his breath and looked at the door in fear. After a long, long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. His whole body was sweating profusely, and he felt that he had come back from the brink of death.
But half of his foot was still outside the cliff.
No, I can't just sit here and wait for death!
I have to escape from this demon's den!
Now I can only rely on myself, Young Master Yuan, to turn the tide!
He tried hard to summon up his courage and looked around, trying to find a way out. But when he turned around and looked at the window behind him that was covered by curtains, he froze in place.
Like falling into an ice cave.
He didn't know when it started, but outside the window, there was a faint shadow standing quietly. Separated by the curtains, he couldn't see his appearance, but that figure raised his hand and constantly knocked on the window.
Gently.
Like he wanted to continue until the end of time. Again, again, and again, it knocked on Yuan Zhao's heart, almost making him scream out loud.
The ambition that had just risen instantly turned into nothingness.
His whole body hid under the blankets, shivering.
Hell is so scary, I want to go home.
Cousin, save me ah ….
"Yuan Zhao, Yuan Zhao, are you inside?"
As if his prayer had been received, faintly, Yuan Zhao heard the voice of Third Elder Sister Mo coming from outside the window, so familiar, "We're here to save you! Yuan Zhao, can you hear me? Hurry and open the window … .if you're late, you'll be eaten by the monster hiding inside …. "
Yes, I have to open the window. I have to escape from here ….
Otherwise, I'm just sitting here and waiting for death.
Bang!
On the bed, Huai Shi who was sleeping soundly turned over, the shotgun by the side of the bed was swept by his arm and fell to the ground, making a dull sound, waking the dazed Yuan Zhao from his dream.
Then, he was so scared that he almost collapsed on the ground.
Until now, he realised that he had unknowingly stood in front of the window, stretching out his hand to pinch the curtains, almost pulling the curtains open ….
He covered his mouth, carefully retreating, shrinking under the blankets, plugging his ears, not daring to listen to the calling outside the window.
After a long time, in his half-awake state, Yuan Zhao finally couldn't hear the sound of knocking on the window.
Outside the window behind the curtains was empty, there was no longer that strange figure just now ….
Yuan Zhao finally heaved a sigh of relief, his whole body went limp, feeling that the ambition just now had disappeared without a trace. Escape is impossible, it's impossible to escape in this lifetime, it's so scary outside, might as well stay here and let them eat him ….
Despondently climbing up from the bed, he wiped his face and subconsciously looked behind the curtains.
Outside the window, there was nothing.
That damned thing … .had it really left?
He took a deep breath, quietly approached the window and carefully pinched the curtains.
I'll just take a look, just take a look ….
He told himself so.
Then, he pulled up the corner of the curtains and took a look.
He saw a happy eye filled with blood vessels.
"You're looking at me, right?"
The face outside the window that looked like a strange bird sneered.
