Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali walked into the yard.
The skinny man saw the knife in Luo Yuan's hand, which was still stained with fresh blood. His face turned pale and he quickly stepped back, shouting, "What do you want? We don't have money! "
Luo Yuan frowned. Judging from the man's reaction, it was obvious that the place was chaotic.
He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I told you that we are not bad people. The knife was only for self-defense. Without this knife, we wouldn't have been able to walk out of the mountain safely. The dozen mutated rats we encountered along the way would have turned us into bones by the roadside. "
The skinny man looked surprised and doubtful, but he still nodded.
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman heard the noise and came out of the door with a kitchen knife. She screamed when she saw the scene.
Luo Yuan frowned. Why was this family always acting so strangely? His words were obviously useless. His face darkened and he said coldly, "I don't want to cause any trouble. I don't mean anything else. I just want to stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning. Tell her to shut up. "
The skinny man quickly pulled the woman aside and whispered to her. After a while, the middle-aged woman's mood improved.
She forced a smile and said, "We have guests. Why didn't you tell us? Come, come in and have a seat. "
"You go cook first. Don't worry about it. I will take care of them. Oh, and add a few more dishes. I will make some tea, "the skinny man said.
The middle-aged woman looked at her husband worriedly and went into the kitchen hesitantly.
The three of them walked into the living room, and the skinny man quickly made three cups of tea.
Luo Yuan secretly used his identification technique to make sure there was no poison. He took a sip and said, "Don't be afraid. She and I are from Donghu City. We are here to visit our relatives. This knife is only for self-defense. You know how dangerous it is out there. "
"Yes, yes!" The skinny man said with a stiff smile. His eyes kept glancing at the dazzling weapon.
Luo Yuan noticed that the sky was getting dark, but there was no light in the living room. He asked curiously, "Is there no electricity here?"
"The cable was bitten off by the rats. It has been out for three days and no one has repaired it," the skinny man said with a smile.
"Is there any more water?" Zhao Yali asked. She was covered in sweat today and her body was greasy. If she didn't have water to bathe, she wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping at night.
"Yes, yes, cold water and hot water. Is there a water heater on the roof?"
The lean man was very alert. Luo Yuan lost interest after chatting for a while. The three of them sat at the table and drank their tea.
Soon, the dishes were ready.
The middle-aged woman quickly moved the dishes to the table. Although there were two more dishes, the dishes were very simple. Apart from a bowl of meat dishes, the rest were all vegetarian dishes.
The middle-aged woman sat down and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. She looked at the lean man with a reproachful look and said, "Two guests, please don't be so polite. The dishes are a bit simple. Nowadays, it's very difficult to buy vegetables. These vegetables are all grown in my yard and are very fresh. This bowl is salted dog meat. The dog is raised at home. I killed it a few days ago. It tastes pretty good. Try it. "
"You're too kind. It's much better than what I had in Donghu City," Luo Yuan said with a smile.
"Why did you kill the dog? It's too cruel, "Zhao Yali said, looking at the bowl of dog meat. She had a dog at home. Every time she left home, the dog would send her a long way. It was very attached to her. Seeing that the family dog had been killed, she could not help but worry about her own dog.
The middle-aged woman took a careful look at Luo Yuan. When she saw that he was expressionless, she smiled and explained, "My husband was worried when he saw the dog growing bigger and bigger. Besides, there were a few mad dogs in the village that had killed people. We were worried that something might happen, so we killed the dog. There are no more dogs in the village now. "
No wonder they had not heard any dogs barking along the way. They had all been killed. But then again, it made sense. The existence of such a creature was always a hidden danger to the village. Although it was harmless to the owner, it was dangerous to other people. Moreover, keeping such a huge creature would waste a lot of food. It was an unusually heavy burden for the village at this time of the year. Killing it would also give them a lot of meat.
Comparing the two, killing the dog was naturally more cost-effective.
Luo Yuan thought to himself and used his identification technique on the bowl of dog meat. As the information appeared in his mind, his face changed slightly.
"Marinated mutated dog meat"
"Ingredients: Mutated dog meat, salt"
"Rarity: White"
"Weight: 300 grams"
"Effect: Fast recovery from fatigue, enhanced immunity."
"Remarks: This is a simple cooked mutated dog meat. It contains a trace of active energy."
He was slightly surprised that the food made from mutated creatures had such an effect. The effect was so subtle that normal people would not notice it at all. Fortunately, he used appraisal art. Otherwise, he did not know when he would have discovered the mystery behind it.
This mutated dog was only white level, which was the lowest level of mutated creatures. He did not know what effect the meat of the light blue level giant snake would have, but he did not regret it. After all, the giant snake had swallowed a few people. Even if he had been given the chance, he would not have eaten it. He could only be careful in the future.
After a few pleasantries, the atmosphere became a little gloomy.
The couple exchanged looks from time to time, communicating silently. Luo Yuan covered his head and ate, pretending not to see anything. Dinner was over soon, and the sky was getting dark.
The woman stood up and said with a stiff smile, "There are no more rooms upstairs. Why don't you stay downstairs? I'll help you clean up now, and the bed will be ready soon. "
"Sure!" Luo Yuan nodded. He knew that she was very cautious, so he did not force her.
The woman relaxed and smiled more naturally, "Qiyuan, can you get two pairs of slippers and a candle? If you want to take a shower, you can use the bathroom downstairs. " From some aspects, it could be seen that the woman was the master of the house, while the man was a taciturn person.
Suddenly, Zhao Yali pulled Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan was a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted and said, "Please add another bed. We are not a couple, so sharing a bed is not appropriate."
The woman looked a little embarrassed, "There are only two beds in our house. Why don't I get you a mat? We can put some cotton on it. "
"Okay!" Luo Yuan nodded. That was the only way.
After a while, the couple vacated the side room and went upstairs.
Luo Yuan walked into the room and passed the candle to Zhao Yali, "You go take a shower first. I'll do it later."
It was dark outside, and she was unfamiliar with the environment. Zhao Yali was a little scared holding the candle, "Why don't … you take a shower first?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Luo Yuan knew what she was thinking and smiled, "Do you want me to take a shower with you?"
Zhao Yali rolled her eyes at him and hesitated for a long time. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked out of the bedroom in fear.
As soon as she walked into the bathroom, she immediately closed the door. She covered her slightly beating chest, her heart pounding. She had always been a timid person. She could scare herself for a few days after watching a horror movie. Sometimes, when she had to pee in the middle of the night, she did not even dare to go to the bathroom. Not to mention an experience like today.
She did not feel anything when Luo Yuan was by her side, but now that she was alone, she felt that every minute was torture. She was afraid that some monster would come in from the outside.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She did not want to stay there for another minute.
She took off her clothes, stood under the shower head, and quickly washed herself.
She hesitated when it was time to put on her clothes. Her clothes had been lost along with her luggage, so she did not have a change of clothes. Her T-shirt and skirt did not smell bad, but her underwear was a little stiff, with a dark circle in the middle.
Her face was burning. She recalled that she had to pee a few times when she was in danger.
It would be too disgusting if she wore it again. Forget it, she decided not to wear it. She would not expose herself if she was careful.
She put on her clothes again, but her butt felt cold. She was not used to it. She opened the bathroom door and hurried back to the bedroom. She saw Luo Yuan holding a piece of cloth and wiping his Zhanmadao. The fear in her heart immediately disappeared.
"So fast! I'll take a shower then. "Luo Yuan gently put down the Zhanmadao, put it back into the scabbard, and stood up.
"I'm done. Come here quickly!" Zhao Yali begged. She did not want to stay there alone for a moment.
Luo Yuan said helplessly, "I'll be right there. Is there really nothing to be afraid of? If anything comes in, it will have to go through the door. I'll come when I hear something. "
"But I'm afraid!" Zhao Yali sat on the edge of the bed and said pitifully. Suddenly, she thought of something and hurriedly pressed down on the hem of her skirt and stood up.
"Just don't think too much. Fear scares yourself. Just think of something happy or play some games. I'm going to take a shower. "Luo Yuan got up and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he found that Zhao Yali had closed the door and locked it from the inside. He knocked on the door with a headache.
"Who is it?" Zhao Yali's trembling voice came from inside.
"It's me. Open the door," Luo Yuan said helplessly.
Zhao Yali opened the door and quickly turned around. She took a few quick steps and jumped onto the bed, covering her head.
Luo Yuan closed the door and was speechless. He could not understand what was so scary about her. "Do you have to be so scared? Don't you feel warm sleeping like this? "
"I'm not warm," Zhao Yali said in a muffled voice.
"Are you alright? I'll blow out the candles now," Luo Yuan said as he took off his clothes.
"Don't blow it out!" Zhao Yali said anxiously as she lifted the blanket and poked her head out.
"There's only a short piece left. It won't last long. If you need to go to the toilet later, there won't be any candles left." Luo Yuan looked at the candle. It was only as long as a thumb. Obviously, it would burn out very soon.
"Then blow it out. Your phone still has battery, right?" Zhao Yali asked.
"Why? There's still half of it left. Don't even think about using it on me. Judging from the situation in Zhu Village, I'm afraid you guys don't have any battery either. I still need my phone." Luo Yuan did not have to think to know what she was thinking.
He blew out the candles and the room suddenly became completely dark.
The room was silent. In contrast, there was the clamor of frogs and insects outside, as well as all kinds of strange and horrifying sounds. The small room seemed to be separated from the rest of the world. It made people feel lonely and forgotten by the world.
