The reality is cruel. Although Xiaoliu and we don't have a deep friendship, he is still our companion. Seeing him like this makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, don't be sad, everyone. Things have not come to a dead end. He still has a chance. Besides, no one can be blamed for this matter. You have to cheer up. Wang Fo, don't you want to save your grandpa? Xiao
Fatty, don’t you want to make a fortune? You should learn from this incident and grow up quickly. There are still many things waiting for you to do.”
"Okay, okay, old boy, you are preaching. We are not as fragile as you say."
"Then look at your faces..."
"Nonsense, try eating and drinking and not sleeping for two days to see if your face will be better? Don't talk about useless things, Mr. Gua, what I want to do most right now is to cut up this big guy and clean it.
, and then make a pot of snake soup, just thinking about it makes people drool."
As he wished, we cut the big snake into several sections and washed them. However, we couldn’t drink the snake soup without a pot. We had to string things together and bake them on the stove. This was enough for three people.
.
After the snake meat was roasted, Xiao Liu woke up. He seemed a little depressed, but it was a good thing to wake up. I originally wanted to give him some snake meat, but Wang Kui stopped me.
, saying that eating the snake meat would only increase his burden, and it would be better to just drink some water.
After eating, the fat man used the excrement to escape deeper into the cave, while a few of us were planning his next move. Suddenly, the fat man ran back excitedly, and when he saw us, he shouted: "Hurry, okay
Thing, now we are in a good mood."
I was dragged in by him, and Wang Kui and Lao Laizi followed Xiaoliu. Soon we came to an open area, which was hundreds of square meters in size. There were two vines in the deepest part.
Climbing to a very high place along the stone wall, there are red flowers blooming on them, which are very bright and beautiful. The most important thing is that there are many red fruits hanging on them, which are the size of eggs and are oval in shape. Each one is delicate and delicate, and it looks like
Makes you want to go up and take a bite.
"Hey, there was fruit just after dinner. Tsk, tut, these little days really make people feel so happy." After saying that, he reached out and picked one first. It was already too late for me to stop him. He had already stuffed the fruit into his mouth.
, and then said with full praise: "Damn, the fruits produced here are so sweet, juicy, and so delicious."
"Fat man, are you okay?" I asked cautiously.
"It's okay, what can I do? I just think this fruit is so delicious." After saying that, he picked two more and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Aren't you afraid that the fruit is poisonous?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and grinned: "Well, I really didn't think much about it. Look at how cute these fruits look. They might even be like the ones in those martial arts novels, like blood bodhisattva or something like that."
, you will become an immortal and a saint directly after eating it. Gaga."
I rolled my eyes at him. Seeing how tempting those fruits were, I wanted to go up and pick two to eat. But as soon as I stretched out my hand, someone behind me suddenly screamed. When I turned around, I immediately found Xiaoliu looking at the two vines with horrified eyes.
At the base of his body, he stepped back one after another.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" We hurried over and saw that the fear in his eyes was deep, he must have seen something terrifying.
Xiaoliu shook his head and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them again. After a while of our comfort, he slowly calmed down, carefully opened his eyes and looked around, and then showed a doubtful look. "Yes, there is a ghost!"
Xiao Liu said with trembling lips.
We were startled by his words, and subconsciously turned our heads and looked around, but found nothing. "Did you see it wrong? There is nothing here. Where did the ghost come from?"
"No, no, I clearly saw an old man squatting there." He pointed to the vines.
"In that case, you must have seen it wrong. There is nothing there, just two fruit trees." The fat man obviously didn't take it seriously, and after saying that, he was ready to go back and continue eating his fruit.
"Wait a minute." Wang Kui stopped him, thought for a while and said: "It is said that weak and sick people can see ghosts. Xiaoliu is in a catastrophe now and is weak physically and mentally. We should consider his words carefully.
.”
"No, old boy, you've seen what's going on here. Where is the ghost? Isn't this nonsense!"
"Haha, sometimes unnecessary actions are not necessarily a bad thing. Okay, Xiaoliu, just tell us what kind of situation you just saw. It should be more specific, which can help us judge."
"I saw an old man wearing gray clothes squatting under the stone wall. By the way, he seemed to be holding something in his hand, but I couldn't see clearly what it was."
"Well, it seems that there is nothing wrong with that." Wang Kui responded, walked directly to the two vines, squatted down, and then used his bare hands to pick up the sand on the ground.
"Hey, old boy, what are you doing? This fruit tree has not offended you. We eat people's fruits, but we can't destroy people's roots. This is not kind."
But Wang Kui ignored him at all and kept digging out the sand on the ground. The sand here was very soft, probably because the water in the cave had been cut off in recent years. Therefore, the ground was dug out quickly.
It was a hole. Wang Kui had no intention of stopping. He just kept digging. It took nearly ten minutes before he stopped. "It turns out that Xiaoliu was right. Come and take a look."
People never expected that there would be a corpse in this pit. The clothes on his body had not completely rotted. Obviously, he died not too long ago. We can still clearly see the two vines hanging there.
The bones are so lush, probably because they have absorbed nutrients from the corpse.
"Is there really a ghost?" Fatty exclaimed, his face a little ugly.
"Not necessarily. If it's a ghost, it's impossible for Xiao Liu to be the only one who saw it. Perhaps this person was unwilling when he died, and his resentment accumulated and enveloped the place. What he saw was just an illusion.
"
"That's it! That's okay." The fat man's face calmed down again, but soon became stiff again. He turned to look at me, swallowed his saliva and asked: "Little prince, did I just eat one of these?"
fruit?"
He finally remembered it! I smiled helplessly and replied: "Unfortunately, you ate not one but three."
"Three?" The fat man screamed, and his fat face began to twist, turning from white to red, from red to black. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and ran directly to the stone wall, holding it with one hand and bending over to vomit.
Get up. "Damn, Mr. Gua is really, really unlucky for eight lifetimes. Isn't he just thirsty and eating a fruit? Or it grows from a dead person. Mr. Gua, my throat has always been very shallow. Isn't this?
My life? Damn, this person is really nothing. Just die, and you still die here. Don’t you mean to make things difficult for me? Believe it or not, believe it or not, Mr. Gua, I will dig out your bones.
, what kind of bone is that, oh yes, crushing bones and scattering ashes..."
