25. Wander the rivers and lakes
Although he said that he was dead, his stomach was still rumbling, and then, he suddenly remembered that what Shen Chong and Meng Qingping said about eating mice just now was not unreasonable.
When people are hungry, they dare to eat anything.
Now, though, all they can eat is their own meat.
Just when everyone was lost and wondered if it was really like what Shen Chong and Meng Qingping said, when they were catching a mouse in this inn to taste it, suddenly, a strong smell of meat wafted from a certain direction of this inn.
Hmmm? It seems to be the aroma of a hare that has been browned and has begun to drip oil.
Lifting his nose and taking a deep breath, everyone found that the aroma of the roasted hare seemed to come from the boundless darkness of this inn.
Everyone was first delighted, and then surprised.
Qu Lijiang seemed to smell the dangerous smell from the heavy aroma of roasted hares, he stopped in front of everyone, looked at Jiaojiao and said in a trembling voice: Sister Jiaojiao, this fragrance ......
Before Qu Lijiang finished speaking, he heard an ethereal voice in a certain direction in the boundless darkness of the inn and replied in a deep voice: There is no doubt that this is indeed the aroma of roasted hares.
As soon as the sound fell, a fire lit up in the innermost room of the inn.
As the light of the fire spreads, the aroma of the roasted hare grows stronger and stronger.
Although the voice that spoke just now sounded so soft, as if it did not carry the slightest malice, but in the ears of the four foxes and the best in Huangshi, there was an indescribable sense of fear.
In the middle of this wilderness, in the cold night of early winter, in this deserted shop that is thought to be haunted only by lonely souls and wild ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, suddenly a voice came from the darkness, what kind of situation would it be, what kind of fear would it be?
Jiao Jiao and Shen Chong's mouths seemed to be immediately stuck by something, and they couldn't say a word.
At this moment, although the oil lamp on the table between them illuminated all corners of the room, they still felt an indescribable eerie horror.
And it's no wonder.
At this moment, they only saw the light of the fire coming from the innermost room of the inn, they only smelled such a strong and alluring aroma, they only heard a heavy, infinitely gentle voice, but they didn't see anyone, it was really challenging the limits of the heart.
They did not speak, nor moved, and the man hiding in the darkness seemed to have read through their thoughts, as if he had laughed, and then, then:
It's the best I've roasted a hare in months, don't you want to taste it? I suppose you're hungry by this time, right?
The five of them remained motionless, looking in the direction from which the sound came, and letting the tempting, hooked, scented scent that almost fell off their noses circling around their temple, arousing their gluttony, and letting their saliva linger.
Alas.
The voice seemed to see through their fear, sighed slightly, and then, with a slight crashing sound, as if flipping the roasted hare, continued:
It was freezing cold, and you had walked so far that you must have been very hungry, why did you not even have the slightest appetite after smelling the smell of this roasted hare?
Did you come out of a crack in the rock, and didn't need to eat? I heard you say that you were so hungry that you almost wanted to catch a mouse and taste it?
Rest assured, I'm not a disgusting rat, but a real rabbit that I took a lot of effort to catch, so why don't you come in and try it?
At this time, they realized that it was a young, energetic voice.
The voice was deep, gentle and powerful.
When he said this, it was as if he were smiling, ethereal, like the song of the witches on the legendary island who used to seduce the seafarers to the island.
However, the five of them remained still.
The voice suddenly lowered down, and I didn't know if it was talking to them, or talking to itself there, and said slowly:
Alas, I have been roasting hares in this deserted inn for more than three months, and today is the first time I have met anyone who does not want to eat my roasted hare.
It seems that you really jumped out of the cracks in the rocks and don't need to eat. Oh yes, are you because I'm a bad person?
If it were me, at such a time and in this kind of place, if I suddenly met such a stranger, I am afraid that I would be so hesitant to refuse to eat.
He almost sighed.
His sigh really touched the top five of them.
When it's cold, a campfire is the biggest temptation.
And when you're hungry, food is the only temptation.
The heartless Milon was the first to be unable to withstand the aroma of roasted hare meat, and he was the first to want to walk over and sit down and enjoy the meal, driven by hunger.
However, Qu Lijiang, who was suspicious by nature, hurriedly grabbed him on the side, and then shook his head at him non-stop.
The voice seemed to see their suspicion, and said there: Hmph, I'm not a ghost, what are you afraid of, just come and eat.
He didn't say this, but he just said it, and in this way, Qu Lijiang and they didn't dare to really go over to eat.
In this barren mountain and wilderness, who knows if he is really a human or a ghost?
Judging by the way he constantly seduces others to eat roast rabbit meat, maybe what he is roasting on the fire now is the meat of those who pass by and can't resist the temptation of the aroma.
Milon originally wanted to go, but now, being stopped by Qu Lijiang like this, and looking at Shen Chong and them with a look of cringe, he didn't go.
He just went to the threshold and sulked.
He was really hungry, but his brother wouldn't let him go, and he was really a little unhappy.
Although he was a little stupid, what he listened to the most was the words of Shen Chong and Qu Lijiang.
Since Shen Chong and Qu Lijiang didn't let them go, they had no choice but not to go.
The man seemed to see this scene again, so he suddenly burst out laughing and said, "You don't dare to come, why do you want to stop people who want to come?"
Speaking of this, he sighed slightly, as if he was very disappointed, and said in a deep voice: Alas, you are so cowardly, how can you come out to explore the rivers and lakes?
Then, his voice suddenly raised, as if he was saying to the leader, and said: Since men are so timid, then, little girl, you should come and eat first.
Hearing this, Jiao Jiao was secretly taken aback, and secretly said: This person is really powerful, just by the sound of our breathing and footsteps, we can conclude that I am a woman, which shows that my martial arts are so high.
So, if he really wants to trouble us tonight in this ghost place where there is no village and no shop, then we may have a hard fight.
However, with his unfathomable martial arts, if he really wants to deal with us, it will be easy, and there should be no need to play tricks like this.
Thinking of this, she was a little calm, let out a long breath, and secretly said: Since it has fallen into his hands, she can't run, so let's fight once.
