Chapter 198 Children
The size of this city exceeded Fatty’s imagination, and until he stepped on the uneven stone streets, he still looked like he had seen a ghost.
Most of the buildings are made of stone, and it can be seen that they have gone through a long time.
Some corners even tend to be rounded.
Two deep ruts are left in the middle of the street, which were formed by transporting bulk goods over many years. They are like a dividing line, dividing the entire city into two.
Jiang Cheng looked around while walking.
Time is like a carving knife, leaving its own traces in this weird sea city.
In addition to the heavy feeling of time, another thing that makes a few people uncomfortable is the overly dazzling lights of this city.
When they first entered, they couldn’t even open their eyes.
The fat man could only walk with his eyes squinted, so that he couldn't see the road clearly and almost slipped at a corner.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had quick eyes and quick hands and gave him a hand.
The moment he helped the fat man up, Jiang Cheng saw a layer of dark green stuff under his feet, which was very small and thin, like moss.
"You must be tired too," the blond man turned around and said in a not very enthusiastic tone: "The people in our town knew that you were coming, so they specially prepared some food. If you don't mind it, ."
"Thank you very much, mayor," Chenran put his hands in his pockets and his tone was not flattering.
The blond man looked at him twice, then nodded, "Please come with me."
Next, the three of them came to a square surrounded by many men. The area was very large. The fat man roughly estimated that it was almost half the size of a standard playground.
There were many people gathered in the square, including men, women and children. There were also some women holding their children to watch the excitement. Everyone seemed to be admiring some kind of rare animal.
Pairs of curious eyes looked at them.
"Doctor," the fat man whispered: "Do you think they look like us watching animals in the zoo?"
He paused and continued: "If I am not wrong, , I guess it’s time to throw food at us soon, and then watch us fight for food for fun”
Since meeting the doctor, Fatty has had more problems.
Once he encounters a tense situation, his mouth is less controlled by his brain and he likes to say nonsense words involuntarily. He seriously suspects that the doctor infected him.
But the advantage is that this will greatly reduce his tension.
“Fat man,” Jiang Cheng replied with the same voice: “You said that if I told you, they would probably tie you up and roast you on the fire until you are sizzling. Oil, if you eat it with a blade, will it affect your current mood?"
The fat man immediately closed his mouth, and the blood on his originally red face faded completely.
Under the arrangement of the blond man, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and everyone found a seat to sit down. Only then did the fat man see that there were many stone tables made of disk-shaped stones behind the crowd.
It's not high, just enough to sit cross-legged on the ground. There are some unclearly shaped dishes and other things on it, which are full of fish, shrimps, crabs and shells.
"Please," the blond man walked to the stone table in the middle and sat down.
Jiang Cheng and the other three were not polite and sat down opposite the blond man.
Each of them had a straw mat under their buttocks. Chenran always looked leisurely and contented. The fat man glanced at him, feeling wary of him.
The welcoming ceremony didn't officially begin until a woman carrying a jar came up and filled the bowls in front of them one by one.
The fat man stared at the largest crab on the middle plate, swallowing his saliva, but no one ate it first, and he would not dare to eat it even to death, except for the blond man.
Because if it was poisoned, then the blond man must have the antidote.
Chenran opened a crab very politely and started to eat it slowly.
Then
The fat man stared at the largest crab and a hand appeared in his field of vision. The hand pinched the crab's right claw, shook it, and then threw it in front of him.
“Eat,” Jiang Cheng said calmly.
The fat man immediately started eating very rudely.
There are always two women serving behind me. When the wine in the bowl is gone, it is filled immediately. Food such as fish and shrimp is also available in as much quantity as possible. The only drawback is that there are no fruits and vegetables.
After the fat man took a big sip of wine, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't know what the wine was made from, but it always had an indescribable fishy smell.
After Chenran ate two crabs, he threw away the crab legs, squinted at the blond man who never spoke, and said: "The mayor invited us here, I'm afraid it's not just about eating and drinking."
Hearing this, the blond man put down the wine bowl in his hand. He didn't eat much. He just drank in silence most of the time, looking very worried.
"You are the ones chosen by it. Only you can help us escape from the curse." He raised his head, his eyes as heavy as ever.
"Of course," he continued: "This is also saving yourselves. After all, you can't leave here until the curse is lifted."
Chenran leaned back, very casually Continued: "Then please tell the mayor about the curse."
Speaking of the curse, Fatty let go of the crab in his hand.
“This matter started decades ago,” the blond man spat. “Since our ancestors, we have lived by the sea, near the forest, and we mainly rely on fishing at sea to survive. Life."
"Of course," the blond man added: "The prey in the forest and berries are also very good."
" But one day, a boy was born to a family in the village." At this point, the blond man's face began to change and his voice became trembling, "No, that's not a human child, it's a monster! ”
After hearing the word monster, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and Chenran lightly tapped his fingertips on the table and paused slightly.
The word "monster" doesn't sound like a word that people who live by the sea can say, but more like the words of people in the church.
The weird spire building slowly emerged in Jiang Cheng’s mind
“Since its birth, everything has changed. Our ships have frequently crashed, sometimes even when the weather is sunny and sunny. The sky will suddenly bring up a storm, overturning our boat, or even tearing it apart!"
"Enter! People hunting and picking berries in the forest also began to have frequent accidents. People who entered the forest without incident all disappeared! "
"Later, we gathered the most experienced hunters and went into the forest to see what happened. What, but they are the same as those before!"
"Until. Until a few days later!"
The blond man seemed to recall the extremely terrifying scene, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the drink was spilled on him without even realizing it.
There are two regular updates every day. Gentle Adviser is here to wish everyone a happy May Day in advance, and promises everyone that the May Day update will be fulfilled!
Thank you for your support!
