Hearing this, Cheng Lanlan turned around suddenly.
It was the girl who spoke.
She held the bowl, grabbed the rice with her hands, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it in big gulps. The woman next to her did the same.
"you?!"
At this time, Cheng Lanlan was like a traveler in the desert encountering an oasis, and hurriedly asked: "Girl, what do you mean by what you just said? Can you tell me where this place is? Why do I appear here?"
A series of questions blurted out.
The girl is no different from a life-saving straw in Cheng Lanlan's heart at this moment.
It's a pity that the girl had no intention of answering her question. She just said flatly: "The rice will get cold very quickly. If you don't eat it, you will suffer a lot."
After speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Cheng Lanlan.
This look...
Cheng Lanlan was stunned for a moment.
The girl's eyes were very cloudy, as if covered with a layer of gray mist, with deep fear and uneasiness underneath.
She is scared too!
Cheng Lanlan bit her lower lip, picked up the rice bowl on the wooden plate, and squatted next to the girl.
The girl silently speeded up her meal and finished it in a short time. She ate very cleanly and did not forget to lick the remaining rice grains off her fingers. Then she hugged her knees without saying a word.
'What on earth do I do now?'
Cheng Lanlan looked down at the rice. The hot aroma stimulated her hungry stomach. After a slight hesitation, she reached out and grabbed the rice and put it into her mouth. It was soft and fragrant in the mouth, and she chewed and swallowed.
However, the moment she swallowed it, Cheng Lanlan's eyebrows suddenly raised.
Something's wrong!
When the rice went down her throat and reached her stomach, she could clearly feel a sudden feeling, as if the food had been eaten by something in her stomach, and it actually conveyed a sense of joy and thirst to her.
'Take another bite.'
With strong suspicion, he swallowed another small ball of rice.
This time Cheng Lanlan can be sure that it's not just like it, but that there is really something in her stomach!
As soon as she thought of this, Cheng Lanlan's mind went blank for a moment, her hands shook, and her rice bowl fell to the ground.
While she was dazed, the craving for the thing in her belly became stronger and stronger, directly affecting herself.
'So hungry, so hungry.'
This state comes extremely violently.
Cheng Lanlan's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and she hurriedly lay on the ground to eat the ball of rice.
Swallowing in big mouthfuls, the feeling of being so hungry and crazy gradually subsided, followed by a feeling of fullness. My body was full and comfortable, but I could clearly feel the existence of that thing.
"What the hell is this?!"
Cheng Lanlan muttered to herself in despair.
After a while.
"I don't know, but you have to eat."
Suddenly, the girl spoke again: "If you don't eat, you won't die, but your life will be worse than death."
She raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Lanlan's appearance at this time, as if remembering herself at that time, and said slowly:
"Everyone has that thing in their stomach. I don't know what it looks like. I just know that the meal sent by that person is what it must eat every day.
"At the end of the meal, your body will get better and better, and you will get healthier, and then you will leave here. Either you will not be able to come back, or you will become like a skeleton like the two people just now, and you will be dragged away in the end.
Go out and feed the alchemy furnace."
As she spoke, the girl looked at the woman next to her:
"They both looked exactly like her."
After listening, Cheng Lanlan felt a wave of panic in her heart and could not calm down for a long time, but she also understood the reason why their faces were rosy but their expressions were extremely haggard.
"What's their purpose in arresting us?"
The girl shook her head.
At this moment, the woman actually spoke:
"The furnace, I heard those two people say that we are their master's furnace."
"..."
"It turns out we are a furnace."
Cheng Lanlan is not an inexperienced little girl, she knows what a furnace tripod means.
At this time she understood everything.
After a while, the prison fell into silence again.
There was no conversation, no hope of escape, and time became extremely blurry here.
Cheng Lanlan squatted under the oil lamp.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a conversation outside, and she turned her face and looked over.
"Where to go?"
The fat man with a round face asked.
"Where else can we go? Of course we can go to Mr. Chen's house with the master."
The thin man, with a cloth bag slung around his waist, sneered when he heard this.
At this time, the fat man with a round face showed a cruel look in his eyes and whispered: "I will do that!"
Hearing this sentence, the thin man's spirits suddenly lifted:
"good!"
Cheng Lanlan couldn't hear the rest.
After a while, the two left here again.
Cheng Lanlan withdrew her gaze and glanced at the position of the girl and woman. The candlelight only reflected their hazy outlines.
Only then did she understand why they liked to hide in the darkness, because the frightening darkness was like a protective umbrella at this time.
She huddled in the corner, lowered her head and knees, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.
'Aunt Wang, I miss you so much.'
'where are you.'
…………
Late at night.
The weather is particularly strange tonight.
In the dark night, there was a moon, but it didn't shed any light.
The backyard of Chen Mansion.
There is a Buddhist altar standing in the open space, with flags floating slightly on both sides.
Directly in front of the table was a wooden table covered with yellow cloth, with a man lying on it. It was the young master of the Chen family, Chen Wang.
In addition, there are four people.
Master Chen, Butler Ma, Zheng Qi and his apprentice Slender Man.
"Master Zheng, please start."
Mr. Chen's eyes were filled with hope, and he kept rubbing his hands nervously.
At this time, he is not the old fox and smiling tiger who dominates the shopping mall, but a father who simply hopes that his son can wake up.
"Um."
Zheng Qi nodded slightly, and with the air of an expert, he ordered:
"Ayang, let's do something."
"Yes, master."
The thin man immediately took a drop of blood from Mr. Chen's fingertips and a drop of blood from Chen Wang's eyebrows, put them both in a bowl of water, and then placed them in the sky lantern.
After finishing this, Zheng Qi took a step forward and appeared on the altar in an instant.
As a monk in the realm of pill formation, such a small matter as summoning souls is extremely simple for him, without any difficulty.
Zheng Qi also used his Dharma finger to point the lantern towards the sky.
Immediately he saw the sky lantern floating up and hovering in the sky above the mansion, he immediately picked up the soul-calling bell on the table and when he shook it, mana surged.
"Go and bring Chen Wang back!"
Before he finished speaking, the sky lantern suddenly floated into the vast night.
then.
Zheng Qi looked at Master Chen condescendingly and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Master Chen. In less than a quarter of an hour, your son's soul will come back with the sky lantern."
Hearing Zheng Qi's assurance, Mr. Chen felt relieved and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Director Zheng. I have already collected the things that Director Zheng ordered."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
The smile on Zheng Qi's face became deeper and more genuine.
"What should be done, what should be done."
Mr. Chen turned to Butler Ma and ordered: "Go and carry that box over."
"I understand, sir."
Seeing that they were already talking about the reward afterwards, as a quarter of an hour passed, Mr. Chen suddenly became restless and frequently looked at Zheng Qi on the stage.
'what happened?'
Zheng Qi frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
Chen Wang fell into the water and lost his soul. It is not that he died. The soul cannot enter the underworld. It will only walk aimlessly, usually farther and farther away. The existence of the sky lantern is to find him and bring him back quickly.
He closed his eyes and sensed the position of the sky lantern.
But when Zheng Qi opened his eyes again, his face showed a rare solemnity. He raised the five fingers of his right hand forward and shouted sternly: "Chen Wang is back, Chen Wang is back."
"Chen Wang, come back quickly!"
Every word is like thunder!
