After carefully walking down the mountain, Lin Sanjiu and the two took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into these simple and dilapidated houses.
The weather was clear tonight, and the bright moonlight covered everything in sight with a layer of frost. This place was so quiet, and the battle between gods that they almost lost half their lives to escape felt like it was already a
A century ago.
The so-called house is actually just a shelf made of wood. Some are covered with thatch, and some have nothing at all. When you look in, you can see beds made of leaves inside. There are a few scattered piles at the door that have been extinguished.
The fire had burned out, so much smoke that the door and walls were completely black; some broken pieces of wood and wooden knives were scattered on the ground, and it seemed that only half of the work had been completed and then abandoned.
Most of the houses were empty, and it wasn't until Lin Sanjiu walked to the last two rooms that she heard subtle breathing.
There was no need to think about it, because there was just a hole in the wall without a window. She glanced inside and found that there was only one person inside - it looked like a man, tall and skinny, lying on his side.
On the big stone, a piece of tattered linen cloth, full of wormholes, hung down from the stone.
In this shabby house, apart from the man and his stone bed, there was only a cup and a few pieces of wood, which made people wonder how he survived.
Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing looked at each other and shook their heads.
Since there are people in this village, they cannot stay here - this world is too weird, and they have already made up their mind to try not to appear in front of anyone.
Making a mouth gesture to signal the gift bag to follow, Lin Sanjiu took the lead and walked out of the village. The two walked quietly for a few steps, and suddenly they heard a few low grunts coming from the shabby house behind them.
; They had just quickened their pace, but they did not expect that when they stumbled, their ankles hit something thin at the same time. Suddenly, the crisp sound of the bell echoed in the night sky, and they flew not far away.
A few night birds here.
Gift Bao secretly cursed and took half a step back. Only then did he realize that there was a silk thread tied above the ground - this silk thread was about as thin as a hair. The other end was tied to the door of the house, and there was also a copper bell hanging; in the dim sky
At night, it’s hard to find even a god.
"Oops," Lin Sanjiu muttered, but she was not too nervous in her heart. In these dilapidated houses, there was only the tall man just now, so he was not really a threat.
"Hey, who is it? Who is coming?"
At this time, a vague question sounded from the room behind him. The man had obviously just been awakened from his sleep, and his speech was still unclear; he shuffled out of the house while putting on his clothes.
The sound was clearly audible in the dark night.
"Who are you? I thought it was my dad who came back." The tall man stood at the door, his neck lowered by the eaves. The moonlight illuminated half of his face, and Lin Sanjiu noticed that it was a picture that looked a bit strange.
Dull appearance: His eyes are set very far apart and his nose is very flat. I don’t know if it’s because he just woke up and his eyes are dull.
It was obvious that this was a so-called "meat man" - she had seen this dull look countless times in the Ant City; the difference was probably that none of the flesh men of the Mother Goddess had a father.
"We are just passing through," Lin Sanjiu replied briefly, turning around to leave: "Leave now."
Unexpectedly, the tall man's eyes suddenly lit up and he jumped out in a few steps - he seemed to have poor control of his hands and feet, and he stumbled even in these few steps: "Wait, wait! Don't go!"
"What are you doing?" Li Bao turned around and asked.
"My dad said, when you meet someone, never let them go." When the man straightened up, even Lin Sanjiu could only reach his shoulders; he said naively: "...Well, no, it was my dad who said that.
, once he leaves, I will definitely not be able to do it. If I meet people, I will quickly beg them to help me, this stupid guy."
He doesn't seem to know that being stupid is not a good word.
"What can I help you with?" Libao seemed to be a little interested in him and asked, tilting his head.
The man suddenly looked like he was crying: "...I, I haven't eaten in several days."
Lin Sanjiu had a headache: "What's going on?"
"I've killed all the vegetables behind the house."
"Where is your dad?" Lin Sanjiu just wanted to leave quickly, "Where has he gone? Why don't you wait for him to come back."
"He went to find God." The next sentence of the silly big man immediately shocked the two of them: "...For some reason, our village has no God's care. Without God, there is no food, and people will leave.
Let’s go, I’ll die... My dad said that he has to go find God and see where God’s blessing is, and when he finds it, he will come back and pick me up.”
The two looked at each other and found a sparkling light in each other's eyes.
Ji Shanqing asked cautiously: "I don't have God's favor when I am old. What do you mean?"
"I don't know either." The silly guy said honestly. "I heard that people in other places worship gods, and gods often visit them. But gods have never appeared in our village. They say gods don't love them.
Come to this shitty place."
Very good!
Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe her luck.
In this perverted world, a place where gods don't like to come can be said to be a pure land that can be encountered but not sought -
"Sister, we stayed on the mountain here all afternoon, and we really didn't see any gods." Ji Shanqing leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Gods appear so frequently in this world.
But he hasn’t appeared here after such a long time. I think what this silly guy said is somewhat true."
The stupid man blinked his eyes far apart in confusion.
"Why doesn't God come?" Lin Sanjiu was still a little worried.
"I don't know," the stupid man sniffed. "Please give me something to eat."
Also, asking him about more complicated things is probably in vain - the two of them were speechless for a moment, and they calmed down and thought for a while. After a few seconds, Ji Shanqing suddenly asked: "Take me to see your vegetable patch"
.”
Seeing that the big man turned around and left, Libao quietly said to Lin Sanjiu: "...let's take a look and see if what he said is true."
After all, a dead vegetable patch is easy to verify - and the fact is that what this big man said was indeed true.
His father had obviously put a lot of effort into it. In addition to potatoes and radishes that could fill his stomach, he also planted some coriander and peppers in the vegetable garden, probably because he wanted his son to season them; but no matter what they were, they were gone now.
It was completely dead - the green and black seedlings and leaves were hanging on the ground in pieces, and they were already dry and brittle.
"Really dead," the big man sniffed and emphasized, as if he was afraid they wouldn't believe it: "You can't eat it. Do you have anything to eat?"
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Ji Shanqing and put his hands behind his back.
"I have food here," she softened her tone, "How about you let us rest in the house at the other end and I will give you some bread every day?"
"What is bread?" The big fool's eyes widened in suspicion, and he looked back and forth between the two of them, "You didn't bring a bag."
When Lin Sanjiu took her hand out, she already had an oil paper bag in it. She purchased this from Red Nautilus - it is a popular dry food in the Red Nautilus Free Zone, it is shiny brown and red.
The bread is flat and hard, with about ten pieces wrapped in a piece of oil paper. When eating, tear off a piece and stir it in wine, milk or water, and it will quickly turn into a thick consistency.
The bread batter slides into your throat immediately from your tongue, leaving your mouth full of the salty aroma of cinnamon and salt.
After showing the stupid guy how to eat, he wolfed down the large cup of bread batter in a few mouthfuls - and then his attitude towards the two of them immediately became several levels of enthusiasm, while shouting
The "good man" took the initiative to clean up a room for them, and carefully took out his only piece of tattered linen sheet, which was so oily that it was hard, and insisted on spreading it for the two of them; Ji Shanqing looked pale.
After pushing it several times, it finally came down.
Although the village is small, there is a surprising creek behind it.
After being spat out by the girl god Dotou, the two of them were sweating and freezing, and they were already so sour that they couldn't smell it. They couldn't take off their clothes to take a shower, so they had to look at it with resentment and envy.
Lin Sanjiu got into the water - the stream was very cold at night, which made her shiver suddenly, and she suddenly got goosebumps all over her body.
After she got used to the water temperature, she dove into the stream and washed away all the mud, mucus, and sweat stains from her body.
Ji Shanqing lay down by the stream, washed his long hair, and wiped his hands and face; finally, at his strong request, Lin Sanjiu could only peel off his clothes layer by layer, and kept taking them off.
Reaching the innermost white bottom garment - after five minutes of blacking out and blacking out, when Ji Shanqing woke up again, he was satisfied to find that he had put on a new set of clean clothes.
After careful calculation, they actually only stayed in God's Love for less than two days, and they had already been on the verge of life and death several times. Now that they relaxed a little, all the reactions that were suppressed by the tension were gone.
Get up - forget about the gift pack, Lin Sanjiu was so hungry that her eyes were green, so she simply called the stupid guy over, lit a fire, and had dinner together in front of their shabby house.
After experiencing a world of meat-eating, she almost forgot what food tasted like. She had prepared a lot of bags of food in the red nautilus, but now she finally put it to use.
The big man sat by the fire, his face reddened by the firelight, and watched blankly as she took out bags one after another with different appearances that he had never seen before.
The first bag contained walnuts, peanuts, cashews, and various dried fruits. It was so full that one would feel fulfilled just by looking at it. Lin Sanjiu opened the bag and poured them in one after another.
In the pot on the fire, sugar and a little salt were sprinkled. The heated snow-white cream made a beeping sound for a while, and the aroma of hot milk mixed with the aroma of dried fruits quickly came out, making people secrete in their mouths.
Drooled.
Ji Shanqing was particularly useful when it came to eating. He put a large box of cold beef slices - maybe not beef, but at least the seller said it was beef, and Lin Sanjiu planned to eat it in a daze -
It was mixed with various spices and sauces and roasted on the fire for a while; the box was specially made, and soon the soul-stirring aroma of barbecue came from the small shelf inside. The meat was so tender that it slipped between the teeth, and it was so delicious when you bite it.
One bite, and your mouth is filled with fresh and sweet juice.
In addition, there were some instant noodles that came from an unknown world. Lin Sanjiu didn't recognize any of the words on them. They compared the pictures and guessed, and finally came up with three bowls of sauce noodles.
——When the thick black pepper juice turned into a brownish-red color under the firelight, the silly guy looked like he was about to cry.
When everyone was immersed in eating and reluctant to say a word, Lin Sanjiu took out three more cans of orange juice - when she bought them, they were selling them in a pile of ice; as soon as she got them, she immediately
The orange juice card had melted, and when I took it out, there were still water droplets on the bottle, giving it a cold air.
After drinking half a can of cold orange juice, Lin Sanjiu wiped her mouth and felt as if she had never been so happy.
That night, after they had had enough wine and food, they lay next to the bonfire and fell asleep looking at the stars in the sky.
