Chapter 773: Eating Raw Rice
When we got back to the girl's house, she really cooked a table of meals waiting for us to eat! After seeing us, she welcomed us very warmly, and called me a brother, which was very affectionate.
The girl talked a lot, she told us that her name is Yuyu, she grew up with her grandmother, and her grandmother has bad ears, and she has always been taking care of her grandmother. I asked her where her parents were, and she shook her head and said she didn't know, she hadn't seen her parents since she was a child.
After several conversations, I almost couldn't help but ask where Yuyumao's family lived, but when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them raw, I was afraid that if I asked this question, we wouldn't even have to eat.
Tonight, I want to stay in this village, and I'd love to see why the lights are turned off when it's dark!
And just like that, we started eating! Yuyu cooked a lot of dishes and killed chickens! It was only when I took the first bite of the meal that I hesitated a little.
I looked at the rice in the bowl and realized that the rice in the bowl was actually raw rice.
"Ouch!" Fat Wu sat next to me, and when I was sandwiched with raw rice, he let out a shout and looked like he was about to spit out the rice.
I hurriedly gave him a look, and when the fat man Wu saw this, he pursed his lips and swallowed the mouthful of rice forcibly.
"What's wrong? Brother Wu, is the food I made not delicious? Fat Wu's shouting attracted Yuyu's attention, and she looked at Fat Wu with a cautious face, like a child who was afraid that she would do something wrong.
Wu Fatzi said with a sigh: "It's delicious, it's delicious, I just sigh how you can make such a delicious dish with a little girl!" In our family, many girls in their twenties can't cook, and you're doing a great job! ”
"Hee-hee! That's good, I thought I didn't make it tasty. As she spoke, Yuyu took a bite of the dish herself, and then ate it happily.
I noticed that neither Yuyu nor her grandmother seemed to think that the meal was undercooked, and that they ate it quite well.
This makes me wonder a little, but I can't point it out, this meal is not delicious, so I will eat more food. In this way, I reluctantly finished the bowl of raw rice that Yuyu licked for me, and ate a lot of vegetables.
Wu Fatzi ate two bowls, even if it was raw rice, I could tell that he was hungry!
During the whole process, Yuyu and her grandmother didn't feel abnormal, on the contrary, they ate this raw rice and ate it very deliciously.
After eating, we continued to walk around the village, and Yuyu warmly invited us to continue to eat at her house in the afternoon, but the time was set before five o'clock. I know the village rule that the lights should be turned off when it gets dark, so the meal must be before dawn.
I still didn't refuse, and agreed to her request to cook for us in the afternoon.
After walking out of Yuyu's house, Wu Fatzi immediately said to me: "Mr. Li, that rice is sandwiched, didn't you eat it?" ”
I nodded and said, "It's eaten, but so what?" ”
"Sandwich raw rice, it's going to make you sick when you eat it! That Yuyu and her grandmother eat so well, how do I feel like they have been eating this kind of raw rice all the time. Didn't they all say that the raw rice was for ghosts? Could it be that this village is not a village inhabited by normal people, but a ghost village? Wu Fatzi guessed boldly.
I shook my head and said, "No, this village is a real village, it's just that someone has put up a barrier!" Those people are also human, and they have the breath of people on them, not the kind of ghosts you say. ”
"As for why the food they ate was raw, I can't explain it! Let's take a look in the afternoon to see if this meal is still raw, if so, then there is something wrong with them! ”
Since ancient times, there has been a saying among the people that ghosts eat raw rice, so when many rural elderly people do things, the food for ghosts is sandwiched rice.
We continued to wander around the village for an afternoon, and this afternoon we met five or six villagers! These people in the village are not very hospitable, and when they see us passing by, they will not greet us without saying hello, but just stare at us with fierce eyes, as if they are guarding against the theft of children.
In addition to that, I also found a strange feature, the people here all look seven or eight points alike! Not to mention that all of them are exactly the same, the similarity can almost reach more than 60%.
We walked around until half past four in the afternoon, and we didn't find a single person who echoed the village chief! I almost got lost. Walking around this village, you can't ask, it's really like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone!
When we got back to Yuyu's house, she had already prepared the meal! As a sign of sincerity, I gave Yuyu a stack of money, which was considered the money for our meal! But Yuyu said that she didn't accept anything, and said that money was something outside her body. If she hadn't been in my sights, she wouldn't have cooked for us.
I had no choice but to take back the money and have dinner at Yuyu's house again! Yuyu's family's dinner was the same as the lunch meal, it was raw, and the same was not cooked.
But Yuyu and her grandmother still ate very well as during the day, and they were not affected by the raw rice at all. It seems that the food they have been eating all this time is raw rice rather than the cooked one.
I'm depressed! I can't figure it out, but I don't want to ask.
I can only wait for the night, thinking of this, I said to Yuyu: "Yuyu, tonight, we want to stay at your house for the night, okay?" ”
Yuyu heard my words, and before she could speak, the old lady on the side quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no!" No, no, no! ”
Her eyes widened as if she had heard something terrible!
Will she hear it again?
She didn't say anything about what we said here, and when we asked her for directions, she also showed that she was deaf and couldn't hear people. But now, she did it again, and not only that, but she did it.
Seeing her grandmother's reaction, Yuyu quickly got up and pulled her grandmother into the house.
Seeing the two of them leaving, Wu Fatzi and Jianyao both looked at me at the same time, and I didn't know what Yuyu meant.
After a while, Yuyu walked out, and the old lady followed behind! Yuyu smiled and said to me, "Brother, I told my grandmother, yes, you can stay tonight." However, I have something to remind you that outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight in our village, but you are different, you make me feel very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. So, I want to keep you too, so how about I sleep with my grandmother tonight and the three of you sleep in my room? ”
I hummed and said, "Thank you, Yuyu!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, brother, you can stay! But follow the rules here, and you won't be allowed to go out when it's dark! No matter what you hear outside, you can't go out, you know? ”
Yuyu said it very seriously, and it was also very serious!
Uncharacteristically serious!
