When the old man heard my answer, he didn't say anything. Instead, he stared blankly at the messy things in the room.
After a while, the old man said, "Are you hungry?"
I instinctively wanted to shake my head, but I heard an unsatisfactory growl in my stomach.
So I laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm hungry."
How can you not be hungry?
It has been at least twenty-four hours since I was caught.
The last time I had a meal was at the Aixinjueluo Hotel. I was only halfway through breakfast when I started having sex with the short fat man and the green-eyed man.
I haven't eaten anything until now.
The old man walked quickly into the back room without saying a word.
Then I heard the clanging sound of pots and pans, and then the sound of hot oil sizzling.
In this mountain of mass graves lined with cemeteries, the smoke and smoke of this human world almost made me forget the dangers around me.
After a while, the old man came out with two bowls of noodles, handed me a bowl and said, "Let's have something to eat first."
"After eating, I will tell you how to get down the mountain. You are the manager of Nanshan Funeral Home and it is not suitable for you to stay here with me."
Without waiting for my answer, the old man started to eat loudly.
The old man looked very awkward when eating noodles, made loud noises, and also liked to chew garlic.
But I didn't care. This was a lifesaver. Not to mention that the sound of eating was too loud. Even if I licked my feet while eating, I couldn't say anything.
But then again, even though it was just a bowl of clear soup noodles, I don’t know whether it was because I was hungry or because the old man was so good at his craftsmanship, but I thought it was really delicious.
The two of us sat at the table and ate the noodles with big mouthfuls. Unknowingly, the chill and yin energy in my body were all swept away, my stomach was full, and my strength was restored.
After eating, I took the initiative to pick up the dishes and ran to the back to wash the dishes.
There is no running water here, but there is a water tank next to it to store water.
The items in the kitchen are also very simple, just a liquefied gas tank and a gas stove.
Although the kitchen is a bit small, it is clean and tidy. It can be seen that the old man usually pays attention to hygiene.
After finishing my work, I found that the old man was still sitting in front of the table in a daze.
I said softly: "Old man."
The old man came back to his senses. His face was a little gloomy, but his temper and attitude were pretty good.
He said to me: "You can leave after dawn."
"After you go out, there is a narrow path. If you see a tomb blocking the road, turn left. If you see a big willow tree, turn right."
"Wait until you see a small river, then wade across the river. Remember, you must wade across the river, otherwise something will follow you and leave."
"After crossing the river, there are no more tombs. If you have a mobile phone, you should be able to receive signals there."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a mobile phone. Don't walk along the river bank. The further away from the river, the easier it is to find the road. Once you get to the road, you'll be fine."
I listened to his words carefully and did not dare to forget them at all.
But I still couldn't help but ask: "Old man, Graveyard Mountain... what exactly is this place?"
"How come I haven't heard of it before?"
The Graveyard Mountain covers such a large area, and there is also the Ghost King and the Corpse King inside.
No matter what, this place should not remain anonymous.
But why have I never heard from my boss?
There is also White Curse. Although I have never heard his name, he must be a wanted criminal in Middle-earth.
Judging from the conversation between the two, Bai Curse should also have walked out of Graveyard Mountain.
The old man lit a cigarette and said in a somewhat rude tone: "Why are you asking so many questions? Just squint on the chair for a while! I'll leave as soon as daybreak!"
I saw that he was feeling a little impatient, so I didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Anyway, the boss has been in the industry for so long, what else doesn’t he know?
Even if you don’t know, you can always find out by asking around, right?
Anyway, it's not too late before dawn, so I just sit on the chair and squint my eyes to rest.
In fact, I'm tired and sleepy now, and I've just eaten and drank enough, so I really feel like sleeping.
In the confusion, I seemed to hear whispering voices, just like the voices of dead souls I heard in the mass graves before.
So I opened my eyes suddenly and realized that everything was normal around me, the orange candles were still burning, but the old man was awakened by my action of getting up.
He raised his head and looked out the window and found that it was already dark.
So he stood up and urged: "Let's go!"
I said to the old man: "Old man, you saved my life this time. But I still don't know your name."
You must know that I am not an ungrateful person. The old man definitely helped me a lot in getting out of the graveyard this time. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was my savior.
I have made up my mind that after I go back this time, I must find a way to thank the old man, and I must know his name at least.
Unexpectedly, the old man sneered: "Little guy, please be a good boy. Don't say your name in the graveyard! You will be haunted by evil spirits!"
I was horrified.
Only then did I remember that this hut actually belonged to the interior of Graveyard Hill.
Just by looking at the runes on the wall, you can tell that the surroundings are certainly not peaceful.
I remembered that Bai Ju called my name before, and the old man called Bai Ju's name again, but since he didn't say it by himself, it should be fine.
Even if something happens, Bai Curse probably won't be afraid of these monsters and the like with his abilities.
At that moment, I said seriously: "Old man, no matter what, you saved my life! Don't worry, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to repay!"
After finishing speaking, I bowed deeply to the old man, then turned around and walked outside.
Thank you for your kindness.
It's actually a bit useless to say thank you at this time, but I will definitely return this kindness to him in the future.
It was already bright outside, but because of the heavy gloom in Luanfen Mountain, the surroundings still looked misty.
I kept going along the narrow path, and when I saw tombs blocking the road, I turned left. When I saw a big willow tree blocking the road, I turned right again.
After walking halfway, I saw another tomb blocking the center.
When I got here, I should actually turn left, but there were signs of a tricycle running over me on the right.
It should be left behind by the old man's old electric tricycle.
I hesitated for a moment, then turned left as the old man told me. Not long after walking, I heard the sound of the rushing river.
Next to Xiao He, there is a simple stone bridge.
If you follow normal people's thinking, you must take the stone bridge to cross the river.
But I still remembered the old man's instructions, found a gentler slope, and waded across the water.
The river water is not as cold as expected, but has a sense of warmth.
I immediately understood that this was a river running against the current.
Any river basically has two origins.
One is formed by water flowing from high mountains gradually converging. The other is formed by underground river water surging upward.
The water flowing from the mountains flows from top to bottom, while the underground river flows from bottom to top, so it is called the reverse river.
There are many things to pay attention to in Nishui River, which is divided into Yang River and Yin River.
Hot springs are a typical condition of Yanghe.
Therefore, the source of this river is probably connected to the earth's veins, which is why it feels warm.
Such a river can block the souls of the dead. This chapter has been completed!
