Chapter 10: The Old House on the Deserted Mountain
While walking, I talked to the fat man from time to time, from their mouth, the bald man called Hu vigorously, others call him old Hu, and the fat man is called Li Jun, because since childhood is fat, so they call him fat. The two are from Beijing, asked him why he ran all the way to this deep forest to, both of them are just vague perfunctory me, said it is to travel.
This I take it as they are farting, this kind of place is not a tourist attraction, in addition to the deserted mountains and wild forests, there is no place worth a tour. So, they deliberately did not want me to know the reason why they came here. However, after all, just met, they do not tell me, I do not want to inquire more.
Along with the old man walked forward for about five or six minutes, then we passed through the woods, and a piece of flat grass suddenly appeared in front of us, and the old man pointed to the grass a few hundred meters away and said, "Look, we're almost there, that's my house."
Following the old man's direction, I saw that in a clump of trees, there was a huge mansion, and through the gap of the trees, I could still see the lights in the mansion.
Seeing the mansion and the lights, Old Hu and Fatty looked exceptionally excited, screaming that they could finally have a good night's sleep. Then, a few of them accelerated the pace towards the old man's house.
Not a moment later, we came to the old man's house. Only to see the old man's house is really big, can even be called a manor generally. The high brick wall was made of green bricks, and inside the wall, there was a wide, open space. Inside the wall, is a wide courtyard, the courtyard planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the house is done in ancient colors, just like a paradise on earth.
At this time, the entire mansion was brightly lit. As soon as we entered the courtyard, a middle-aged servant came forward and took the old man's walking stick for him, and then the old man made a gesture of invitation and invited us into the courtyard. He himself, on the other hand, went directly into the inner hall, saying that he was going to change his clothes before accompanying us.
There was a stone table in the courtyard, and when we sat on it, a maid brought us tea and snacks. Looking at the brightly lit oversized courtyard in front of us, and the servants and maids that come and go, it makes me feel like I'm in the ancient princes and nobles in the middle of the house, which seems very unreal.
At this time, the fat man and the two of them somehow did not have a little suspicion, but instead cymbal interested in marveling at how beautiful life in the mountains is. I saw the appearance of the two of them, I heart straight to mutter, thought you really fucking lack of heart ah, so abnormal also do not notice the problem.
Just as Old Hu picked up the tea and prepared to taste it, I hastily pressed his hand, I said, "Don't be too busy to drink it first, you can't drink this tea."
Hearing this, the bearded man frowned, puzzled, "What, can't drink, why can't you drink it?"
"In short, you can't drink it, if you guys believe me, don't ever go and eat anything here." At this time, the reason why not tell them the truth of the matter, is really afraid of them to listen in case they exclaimed, and then attracted the attention of this yard full of ghosts and monsters, then the consequences will really do not know how it will be.
"Then what if you eat it? Are you worried that the old man has other intentions, poisoning us in the food?" The one who spoke was Fatty, I took a look, this idiot's mouth was bulging with black beans and was smashing the snacks, staring at me blankly.
I was instantly defeated by him, only had to sigh, pointing to his hand half a piece of snacks said: "Poison will not be under, but this is not what snacks, you eat later do not spit on me on the line."
"What? This is not a snack, that would be what. Why do you people talk so strange?" Fatty muttered two sentences, then looked at the half piece of dim sum in his hand, then once again stuffed it into his mouth and enjoyed himself.
When I saw his stupid behavior, I immediately felt a flock of crows flying over my head, and a few black lines drooped from my forehead.
However, that old Hu was not as brainless as he was, he seemed to have heard something in my words, and just as Fatty was about to take the second piece of pastry, he immediately reached out and pressed down on him, and then slightly shook his head at him, signaling him to hold off on eating for the time being. Then he turned his head and asked me, "This brother, the two of us are both roughnecks, just now brother, you said that this food is inedible, could it be that you see something wrong with it?"
I looked around and didn't find the old man out, so I put my head closer and whispered, "Don't you guys think that something is not right here?"
"Not right?" Old Hu looked around after hearing this, then frowned and said, "Hearing you say this, I really feel that there is something wrong, here is too good, so good that I don't want to leave."
Fatty said, "I think you two are not too much, that old man so kind a person, good food and drink to entertain us, you see what you think nonsense ah. You see, this point where there is a problem, fragrant it!"
Said the fat man again to take the snacks to the mouth. This time, however, he was still stopped by Old Hu. He said to the fat man: "Do not be too busy to eat, let's listen to what this brother said."
Seeing that Old Hu was still considered an enlightened person, I then tried to guide him, pointing at the scene in front of me and said, "Yes, you're not wrong, this place is indeed too perfect, look at the mansion here, as well as those servants and maids, do you think this is something that can be found in our era? And what time is it now, look at this place, it's still brightly lit, it doesn't look like it's about to go to sleep, don't you guys still think it's abnormal?"
After hearing my words, Old Hu immediately became nervous and asked me, "What does brother mean is that we have encountered that?"
When Fatty heard the monk's words, he immediately gasped and shouted, "What? We've met a ghost."
Fatty this sentence is very loud, immediately attracted the attention of the servants in the courtyard maid and other people, originally come and go they stopped, sideways looking at the three of us. This time can put me scared, the whole person was given them to look up a goosebumps, thinking that this can really be this fat man to the bad.
Look at the fat man and the old Hu two people, is also scared not light, staring straight at the courtyard of those servants girls, do not dare to move a bit, as if the whole person is frozen like.
However, this situation did not last long, just a few seconds later, those servants will take back the gaze of surprise, and then once again busy with the hands of the work.
Seeing this, the heart of the momentary tension which was put down, and then glared at the fat man, can not help but angry: "You blindly scream what, just now almost killed by you, do you know."
Fatty at this time already knew that we were not joking, he nodded his head, and then tentatively asked me: "Brothers, I was just really stunned by your words, that what, I'm sorry. However, can you really confirm that they are not living people?"
I nodded my head, and then told them about shaking hands with the old man at the stone pavilion and noticing that the old man wasn't right. Finally, when they heard that I was a Maoshan magician, they all looked at me differently, obviously with a "Master save me" look.
I told them, no matter what happens next, don't panic, just follow me on the line. Probably because he knew that I was a Maoshan magician, so later he obeyed my words.
Not a moment later, the old man from the inner hall came out, smilingly sat down to the stone table, while he was followed by the girl on the end of a few dishes.
The old man said with a big smile, he has no outsiders here all year round, today can have the honor to invite three to come as a guest, extremely happy, specially prepared a few small dishes to fill everyone's stomach.
At this time the fat man they also know the old man is not a living person, so where still dare to eat the things he prepared ah.
Just see the old man hand a move, behind a girl will be in the hands of the plate on the stone table, then the old man smiled and introduced: "This is called stir-fried gold beads, this dish took a long time to put together a plate to yo, happy today, so special will be it good end to you guys taste."
I looked to the plate, almost scared out of a cold sweat, only to see the plate is loaded with all the human eyeballs! A round grain of eyeballs filled a plate, which almost scared me out of my wits. And then look at that old Hu two people, or not good, face a burst of blue and white, dangerous is scared not light. Especially the fat man, may be to see in front of the plate of food, and then think of the pastries eaten before, so only see his throat knot a move, obviously is close to spit out.
Then, the subordinate served the second dish, and the old man introduced, "This one is called Ants on the Tree, although it is considered a small dish, but the flavor is very good."
I look, originally uncomfortable stomach can no longer stand, a turning uncomfortable, because only to see this so-called ants on the tree, the "ants" is actually a plate of maggots, and that the so-called "tree" is actually a person's finger. Although the fingers are crawling with maggots, but still can distinguish that is a human finger, even the nails are still there.
Then, there is the last dish, it is with a copper container, the top is also covered with a lid, and this copper is set on top of a charcoal fire pot, only to see the lid of the copper container constantly out of the hot air, and can also smell the inside of the gust of meat aroma.
Two subordinates lifted an exquisite copper vessel from the fire pot and put it on the stone table, the old man pointed to the covered copper vessel and said: "This dish is the most special, if not before I would not be willing to use it to entertain the guests, but I really haven't seen people outside for too long, so I'm happy today, let's let everyone share this main dish. It's called 'Unseen Sky', it's not easy to get this dish."
"Unseen Heaven?" We all looked at each other in disbelief, not knowing what kind of disgusting dish this so-called Unseen Sky is.
When the old man saw our blank expressions, he was particularly excited, and with a proud face, he got up and lifted the lid of the copper vessel, and then the hot air inside came out. The old man blew out the hot air from the copper vessel, and the hot air dispersed, and then a complete baby was revealed in the copper vessel!
The three of us couldn't hold it in any longer, and all of us cracked up and threw up. Just see that the baby as a rabbit size, tight half eyes, hands and feet lying in the copper. And I finally understand why this dish is called "not see the sky", that's because the child must have been taken out of the mother's stomach, has not been born to see the sky it!
The more I thought about it, the more my stomach churned, and I almost threw up my bile.
