Chapter 35 I Want to Become an Immortal (4)
Of course the first place Liu Sheng wanted to go to was the kitchen.
Although she wasn't sure if it had been looted by someone else...or something else, she had to give it a try.
And maybe everyone is like Shujing and others, afraid to go.
She walked along the corridor of the studio towards the stairs.
At this time, the sky was gloomy, the crescent moon was dim, and there was silence. The only sound that could be heard was his rapid breathing and heartbeat.
There were pools of blood and pieces of meat everywhere on the ground, as well as a long drag mark, going straight from one end of the corridor to the other. Liu Sheng knew it was the mark of the meat ball.
In addition, you can also see many messy bloody footprints, left by those disciples who also hurried out while the meatballs were leaving.
Liu Sheng carefully walked around the body lying on the stairs and walked downstairs.
After walking only one floor, we arrived at the first floor. The corridor was covered with broken limbs and pieces of meat, and the smell of blood filled the air, which was disgusting.
There was originally a small garden patio outside the cloister, but the flowers and green plants had been pulled out. There were corpses floating in the small pond, and the water was turbid.
Out of the door of the Zhaishe, Liu Sheng looked back and saw "Xichunzhai" written on the door plaque, which was the name of the women's Zhaishe.
The men's studio is called "Mu Qiuzhai".
Liu Sheng confirmed the directions of each area in advance, and now walked to the left as soon as he went out, which is also the direction of the kitchen in the canteen.
Liu Sheng walked through the night in the school building. His small tentacles had been retracted, except for a small eye peeking out from the collar of his back.
Now the little tentacles have absorbed more evil energy and evolved a bit.
Under your feet is a road paved with bluestone. The stone slabs have been polished as smooth as a mirror after countless students stepped on them for countless years.
The moonlight shines on this bluestone road, surrounded by weird and twisted, towering ancient trees, as well as quaint buildings and deep courtyards. There are vague figures flashing or whispering inside, but carefully Looking at it, I thought it was a phantom before my eyes.
Liu Sheng has only one goal now and does not dare to explore extraneously.
Occasionally, one or two students can be seen passing by, but everyone is wary of each other and neither speaks nor approaches.
Under the disaster, the trust between people has dropped to the lowest point.
The cafeteria of the school building is located in an independent small courtyard, which is surrounded by green bricks and surrounded by several bare old plum trees.
The door of the cafeteria was ajar, with the three characters "Qiongxiangtang" written on the plaque above it, and there seemed to be a faint light on inside.
Liu Sheng pushed the door open with his tentacles, and with a heart-wrenching "squeak", the situation inside was fully visible.
The air in Qiongxiangtang is filled with a faint aroma, as if someone is simmering some meat.
There are rows of long wooden tables and benches in the canteen without walls. In the past, the place would always be packed during meal time, but now it was deserted, only filled with the cool moonlight.
At the end of these long tables is a wooden door leading to the back kitchen. The door is open, and the firelight can be seen flashing inside. There are also constant banging sounds, and in the silence There was a very loud sound of chopping meat, as if someone was busy on the stove.
As Liu Sheng slowly walked towards the kitchen, the smell of meat became stronger and stronger, so fragrant that Liu Sheng, who had been hungry for many days, was about to lose her mind. Although she was frantically alert in her heart, she gradually He became delirious and moved forward slowly with mechanical steps.
The back kitchen is brightly lit and warm as spring, in sharp contrast to the dim and cold canteen.
The fire is dancing on the stove, pots of food are simmering on the stove, the aroma is fragrant, and various ingredients and seasonings are placed around, everything looks in order. It's like a warm and ordinary kitchen.
Of course, if you can ignore the fact that a hand and an eye appear from time to time in the cooked food, as well as the bloody ingredients placed next to it, and the cook with a pig's head on his head.
The pig-headed cook was wearing a rough linen jacket. There was a wound around his neck that was full of blood and flesh, and there was still pus. There was blood and some fine pieces of flesh, but it was too busy to clean it up.
The pig-headed cook raised his head and glanced at Liu Sheng next to him, and then continued to concentrate on his work. He picked up a piece of meat that belonged to an unknown creature, chopped it into minced meat on the cutting board, and then took out a basin dripping with blood. , mix the minced meat into it, pour in soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, and corn flour and stir.
After finishing all this, it had time to pay attention to Liu Sheng, turned around and asked, "What are you here for?"
Liu Sheng suddenly woke up from the drowsiness that was confused by the smell of meat and warmth. She saw the pig-headed cook's black eyes squeezed on the top of his nose staring at Liu Sheng, sharp, cunning and malicious, and she couldn't help but shudder. Had a chill.
This feeling of being locked by a predator made Liu Sheng's instinctive reaction to run away, but he seemed to be immobilized by some force and unable to move.
Even the small tentacles curled up and squirmed nervously.
The small tentacles have not really grown up yet, mainly because Liu Sheng is too weak. It is okay to bully Shujing and the others, who are also mortals, but once they face this strange creature with unfathomable strength, I'm afraid it will be torn into pieces.
This is an absolute suppression of strength from the soul.
The only other person who could make her feel the same way was Zhai She's meat ball.
"You, I'm talking about you, haven't you answered yet?" The pig-headed cook seemed to be asking again patiently, with even deeper malice in his eyes.
"If you can't speak, I don't mind opening your voice for you."
It raised the knife at hand, the sharp blade flashed with cold light, and its eyes were on Liu Sheng's neck He glanced at the corner of his lips, a little eager to try, thinking about where to start.
“I, I’m here to apply.”
Liu Sheng knew that it would be over if he didn't open his mouth. In a panic, he suddenly felt blessed.
“Apply?” The pig-headed cook narrowed his tiny eyes, showing some confusion.
"Well, I see, Master, that you are alone, well, a pig is busy alone and has to make so many meals, so I would like to volunteer to help you."
"Help?" Pig Tou The cook grunted, and wiped his oily face with his giant palm-like hands stained with blood, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this proposal.
"Yes, I can wash vegetables, cut meat, make fires, and wash dishes. My father is a cook. I have been helping him since I was a child. I will definitely be able to help you." Liu Sheng continued to say bravely. , trying to give yourself a little more competitiveness.
She paused, wiped away the tears that were not there, and said half-truthfully: "And... my family is poor, and I need money to study here. I want to work and study part-time, in exchange for hot meals here... ..."
I don’t know which words touched the pig-headed cook. It actually burst into tears and flashed with an inexplicable emotion: "Well...I remember that my daughter once hit me like that, but later... ..."
Being eaten, Liu Sheng added silently in his heart.
The pig-headed cook threw a dirty apron to Liu Sheng, "Put it on, and from today on, you will be Qiongxiangtang's assistant cook."
"Today, let's start with Let’s start making dumplings.”
It pointed at the pot of strange minced meat that had just been chopped.
