Chapter 44 Taolin Village
The donkey cart moved forward and soon arrived near the village, but the donkey seemed to have smelled a strange smell and remained stubbornly in place, refusing to go in.
Zuo Chen tapped its brain a little, and the donkey continued to move forward reluctantly.
After arriving at the entrance of the village, Zuo Chen could also see the situation inside the village.
The houses are lined with wooden boards, the roads are neat, peach trees are planted around, and every house is lit with lights, making it very lively.
There are many villagers beside the road in the village. They have yellow hair and are content.
Seeing the donkey cart coming, the villagers in the village cast curious eyes. When they saw someone on it, they became enthusiastic again.
Soon, a young man walked over. He was dressed as a farmer and had a simple appearance.
He walked to the donkey cart, saw Zuo Chen and Caiyi on it, and said with a smile:
“I wonder where Miss Changhe came from?”
"Coming from Qingzhou, we are going to Youzhou and passing through Xuzhou on the way." Zuo Chen replied.
“It’s not a short journey.” The young man marveled, and said with a smile: “The Taoist priest must visit our Xuzhou more. Our Xuzhou is a good place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and lovely girls. "
Looking at Caiyi again, his face turned red:
"Not as nice as the girl behind you."
Caiyi was praised and felt in her heart. But he was not happy at all.
Now that Xuzhou has become such a wasteland, the young man actually said that he wanted to visit Xuzhou more and said that Xuzhou has beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The mountains and rivers are almost eaten up, so what is there to say about being delicate?
God knows what this young man saw.
"Is something good happening in the village?" Zuo Chen asked, pointing to the depths of the village: "I think there seems to be a long table there."
There is indeed a long table in the center of the village. There was a long table, and there were a lot of people around it, and the whole village was lively and lively there.
Although it was late at night, the excitement was a bit weird.
"Hey! You two are here today." When the young man heard Zuo Chen's question, a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"A noble man came to our village this year. , under the guidance of the nobles, we planted peach trees, and we have a great harvest this year! We are currently holding a feast to celebrate. If you are free, why don't you go and have a taste of the peaches from our village? ?”
“Of course no problem.”
Zuo Chen got out of the car, tied the donkey to a peach tree on the side, and tapped the donkey’s head twice. The restless and timid donkey suddenly seemed to have gained great confidence. The donkey's backbone straightened up and its head raised.
Cai Yi felt it was strange, and after a little feeling, she discovered that Zuo Chen had attached an extremely weak qi to the donkey's body.
She was shocked. She didn't expect this beast to be so smart.
Is it possible that those who follow the Taoist master can still grow their brains?
Then can I become smarter too?
Without thinking too much, Caiyi also followed Zuo Chen, and it didn't take long for him to reach the middle of the village.
As soon as I arrived here, I saw a long table with two neat rows of plates on it. The plates were filled with neatly arranged large peaches, red and moist.
It was crowded and noisy with many people, old and young, strong and thin, talking lively and smiling.
The young man brought Zuo Chen and Caiyi to the end of the table. As soon as they arrived, Zuo Chen saw four special young people sitting here.
Their clothes are completely different from the people in the village. The people in the village are all contented small farmers who can sew fabrics into their clothes. These four are refugees fleeing from famine. The one on the left is the one on the top of the clothes. There is a hole in the right side of the patch, with a sallow face and thin muscles, but a big belly.
Three of them have already started to wolf down the peaches in front of them, with juice on their lips and red eyes. The young farmer looked at them and said with a smile: "Several guests have already eaten. Eat quickly and eat more. There is nothing else in the village, but these peaches are more abundant."
After saying that, he looked at Zuo Chen and the two of them: "You two, please take a seat here first. The nobles will come to the main table in a while, and the banquet will begin."
After finishing speaking After saying this, he turned around and left, disappearing among the villagers, neither coming nor leaving.
Zuo Chen came to the three strangers who were eating peaches, stared at them, and then shook his head.
"Taoist Master? Are they hopeless?" Caiyi saw what Zuo Chen meant now, but was a little confused.
At that time, Wang Erniu's head was twisted, but Zuo Chen still blew him back in one breath.
These three people clearly looked lively, but the Taoist priest shook his head.
“It can’t be saved.” Zuo Chen said: “It looks like the three of them are alive, but in fact they are already dead. Regardless of whether they were Liu Lezi or Wang Erniu at that time, they were either seriously injured or had just died. Not long after my death, the three souls and seven souls have not yet left the body. I will patch things up and use another breath of innate Qi to save my life from the door of hell.
"Three souls and seven souls can't do it. The soul has long been eaten up and wiped clean. If I played Qi, the three of them would fall down on the spot. ”
My eyes fell on the last person again.
This is also a young man, not very old, and he seems to be the least hungry. He is also thin, but his belly is not round. He seems to be half asleep and half awake, staring at the big flat peach in front of him with blurred eyes, drooling.
Zuo Chen came up to him and patted his shoulder. The young man suddenly became much clearer.
He turned to look at Zuo Chen and asked:
"Who are you?"
"I am a Taoist priest passing by. Who are the four of you? How did you get here? Here?”
He tilted his head, as if he was thinking hard about his name, and finally a hint of realization appeared on his face:
"I...my name is Xiao Changcheng, from Changshan Town, Xu, and we are here to find you."
"We seem to have seen villages on the way, and something like this has happened recently..."
Xiao Changcheng turned to look at the compatriots who came in together, and saw that they were buried. He ate peaches on his head and tore them apart. He looked more like a ghost than a human being.
"What happened to them?" ”
Then he looked at the bright red peach in front of him.
"What kind of peach is this? Why does it smell like...meat to me?"
At this point, he may be very hungry, and his stomach growled. Standing up, Ben Qingming's eyes were wrapped in hunger again, as if he wanted to reach out to grab the peach.
Zuo Chen patted his head, and Xiao Changcheng said oh, and opened his eyes again:
Where are the bright red peaches that can be moved to the table?
What was placed in front of him was clearly a bowl with a huge meat ball inside.
The top of the meat ball was covered with blood vessels and was beating leap and bound. The smell of putrid meat emanated from the top and rushed into the tip of Xiao Changcheng's nose.
Looking again at the tables on both sides, there were no villagers sitting at all. Instead, they were filled with incense burners, with four incense sticks inserted in each incense burner.
This is not a living feast at all!
It’s the death seat!
When the evil wind blew, Xiao Changchengqian returned to the lively scene in the village, but he shuddered.
I felt cold all over.
