Chapter 17 Overnight stay
Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali walked into the yard.
At this time, the thin man saw that the long knife with the sheath in Luo Yuan's hand was stained with some fresh blood. His face suddenly turned pale. He hurriedly took a step back and shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? Our family has no money!"
Luo Yuan frowned slightly. Judging from the other party's excessive reaction, it was obvious that it was quite chaotic here!
He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I said that we are not bad people, and the knife is just self-defense. Without this knife, can't we come out of the mountain road safely? The dozen or so mutant rats that Guangguang encountered along the way would turn us into bones on the side of the road."
The thin man looked surprised and suspected, obviously a little disbelief, but he still responded repeatedly.
At this time, the middle-aged woman heard the movement and walked out of the door with a kitchen knife. When she saw this scene, she screamed loudly.
Luo Yuan frowned. The family was shocked. It was obviously useless to say so many words. His face darkened and he said coldly: "I don't want to cause trouble. I have no other intentions. I just stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning. Ask her to shut up."
The thin man quickly grabbed the woman and dragged her aside to mutter. After a while, the middle-aged woman's mood improved.
She forced a smile and said, "It turns out that guests are coming to your house, so you won't say anything. Come in, come in, sit down."
"You go to cook first, don't worry, I'll come here to entertain you. By the way, add a few more dishes, two guests, I'll make a cup of tea." The thin man also echoed.
The middle-aged woman looked at her husband with some concern and entered the kitchen hesitantly.
The three of them walked to the living room, and the thin man quickly made three cups of tea.
Luo Yuan secretly used an appraisal technique. Seeing that it was not poisonous, he took a sip and said, "Don't be afraid, she and I are from Donghu City. This time we are here to visit relatives. This knife is just a self-defense, and you also know that it is very dangerous outside now."
"Yes, yes!" the thin man smiled stiffly, his eyes staring at the dazzling weapon from time to time, looking quite restrained.
Luo Yuan looked at the sky getting dark, but there was no electric light in the living room, so he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Is there no electricity here?"
"The line was bitten by a mouse. The power has been out of power for three days and no one has repaired it." The thin man said with a smile on his face.
"Is there still water?" Zhao Yali asked. She was sweating all over today and was greasy. If she didn't have water to take a shower, she would feel uncomfortable at night.
"Yes, yes, cold water, hot water, and a water heater is installed on the roof?"
The thin man was very alert. Luo Yuan chatted for a while and then lost interest. The three of them sat at the table with their heads down and drank tea.
The meals were ready soon.
The middle-aged woman brought the meal to the table with quick hands and feet. Although she added two dishes, the dishes were also very simple. Except for a bowl of meat dishes, the rest were all vegetarian dishes.
The middle-aged woman sat down and felt the atmosphere was strange. She looked at the thin man with a angrily voice and introduced in a nagging way: "Don't be polite, two guests, the rice is a little simpler, and the dishes are hard to buy now. These dishes are grown in their own yards and are very fresh. This bowl is pickled dog meat, and the dog is raised at home. It was killed a few days ago. It tastes very good. You can try it."
"You're so kind. You're much more hearty than what I had in Donghu City." Luo Yuan said politely with a smile.
"Why kill a dog? It's too cruel." Zhao Yali couldn't bear to look at the bowl of dog meat. She kept a dog at home. Every time she left home, the dog would send her far away and was very attached to her. Seeing that the dog of this family was killed, she couldn't help but worry about Lao Huang in her family.
The middle-aged woman looked at Luo Yuan carefully, and saw Luo Yuan expressionless, and explained with a sarcastic explanation: "My husband was so nervous when he saw the dog growing bigger and bigger. Moreover, there were several mad dogs in the village that bit people to death. We were also worried that something was wrong, so we killed the dog. There are no dogs in the village now."
No wonder I didn’t hear the barking of dogs along the way. It turned out that they were all killed. But thinking about it, such creatures are always a hidden danger to the village. Although they are harmless to the owner, they are dangerous to others. What’s more, raising such a huge thing will waste a lot of food. For this period, this is an extremely heavy burden. After killing, you can get a lot of meat.
Compared with the two, it is more cost-effective to kill dogs naturally.
Luo Yuan thought in his mind that he used an identification technique for the bowl of dog meat. As the information came to his mind, his face changed slightly.
"Pickled mutant dog meat"
"Material: mutant dog meat, salt"
“Rarity: White”
“Weight: 300g”
"Effect: Quickly restore fatigue and enhance body immunity."
"Evaluation: This is a simple food cooked by mutant dog meat, which contains traces of active energy."
He was a little surprised. The food made from mutant creatures actually had this effect. This effect was subtle and could not be detected at all. Fortunately, he used the identification technique, otherwise he would not know when he would discover the mystery.
This mutant dog is only of white level, only the lowest level of a mutant creature. I don’t know what the flesh and blood of the light blue giant snake I encountered before will have, but he didn’t regret it much. After all, the giant snake has swallowed a few people. He really wants to eat it, so he can only pay attention to it in the future.
After saying a few scenes, the atmosphere became a little dull.
The couple winked from time to time and exchanged silently. Luo Yuan covered his head and pretended to be missing. The supper was over soon and the sky gradually darkened.
The woman stood up and smiled stiffly, "There are no rooms upstairs, why don't you live downstairs? I'll clean up for you now and you can make the bed soon."
"Yes!" Luo Yuan nodded, knowing that the other party was very alert and didn't force it.
The woman's expression relaxed and her smile became more natural: "Qiyuan, come here with two pairs of slippers and candles? If you want to take a shower, you can go to the bathroom downstairs." From some places, it can be seen that this home is dominated by a woman, while the man is a dull man and doesn't talk much.
At this time, Zhao Yali suddenly pulled La Luoyuan.
Luo Yuan was a little strange at first, but he quickly responded and said, "I'd like to ask you to add another bed. We are not a boyfriend or girlfriend, and a bed may not be suitable."
The woman looked a little embarrassed: "We only have two beds in our house, why don't I get you a mat and use cotton pads."
"Okay!" Luo Yuan nodded, and he could only do this.
After a while, the couple vacate the side room and go upstairs.
Luo Yuan walked into the room, handed the candle to Zhao Yali and said, "You go and take a shower first, I will take a shower later."
It was pitch black outside the house, and coupled with the strange bad situation, Zhao Yali was a little scared with the candle: "Or...you wash it first?"
"There is nothing to be afraid of." Luo Yuan saw through her thoughts at a glance and said with a smile: "Can I still wash with you?"
Zhao Yali gave her a angrily glance, hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and walked out of the bedroom in fear.
As soon as she walked into the bathroom, she immediately closed the door. She covered her slightly leaping chest and her heart was pounding. She was too timid and could scare herself for several days when watching a ghost movie. Sometimes she was anxious to urinate in the middle of the night and didn't dare to go to the bathroom. Not to mention an experience like today.
Before, she didn't feel anything with Luo Yuan, but now she's alone, she feels every minute of suffering, fearing that some monsters will come in from outside.
The more she thought about it, the more she became, the more she was afraid, and she didn't even want to stay here for a minute.
She took off her clothes, stood under the hooded head, and quickly washed it.
When she was putting on her clothes, she hesitated a little. Her clothes had been lost with her luggage. She had not changed clothes for a long time. She had no odor in her T-shirt and skirt, but her underwear was a little hard, and there was a dark map in the middle.
Her face was a little hot, and she recalled that she seemed to have had several urgency to urinate when she was in danger before.
If you wear it again, it will be too disgusting. Forget it, it will still not be worn. Be careful that you will not expose it.
She put on her clothes again and felt her butt was very uncomfortable. She opened the bathroom door and hurried back to the bedroom. She saw Luo Yuan holding a strip of cloth and was wiping the saber with a focused look on her face. The fear in her heart was immediately dispelled without a trace.
"So quickly! Then I'll wash it." Luo Yuan gently put down the slashing saber, inserted it into the scabbard, stood up and said.
"I've finished washing, come here quickly!" Zhao Yali begged in a voice. She didn't want to be here alone for a moment.
Luo Yuan said helplessly: "I'll come soon, there's really nothing to be afraid of? If you have something in, you have to pass through the gate. When I hear the noise, I will come over."
"But I'm just afraid!" Zhao Yali sat on the edge of the bed and said with a pitiful look on her face. Suddenly, she thought of something, quickly pressed down on the hem of her skirt and stood up.
"Just stop thinking about it. Most fears are scared by yourself. Just want to have something happy, or play games for a while, and I'll go to the bathroom." Luo Yuan said and got up and went to the bathroom. When he came back, he found that the door was closed by Zhao Yali, and it was locked inside, so he couldn't help but knock on the door with a headache.
"Who?" Zhao Yali's terrified trembling voice came from inside.
"It's me, open the door." Luo Yuan said helplessly.
Zhao Yali opened the door, turned around quickly, took a few steps, then jumped onto the bed, covering her head.
Luo Yuan closed the door and felt speechless when he saw this scene. He really couldn't figure out what to be afraid of: "As for it? Can't you sleep like this?"
"Not hot." Zhao Yali said in a muffled voice.
"Is it okay? I'm blowing the candle?" Luo Yuan took off his clothes and said.
"Don't blow!" Zhao Yali was a little anxious, lifted the quilt and exposed her head and said.
"It's only a short piece, and it won't be lit for long. If you have to go to the bathroom later, there will be no candles." Luo Yuan glanced at the candle, only a piece of thumb, and it would obviously burn out soon.
"Then blow it, your phone still has electricity?" Zhao Yali said.
"Why? I still have half the power. Don't call me. Judging from the situation in Zhujia Village, you may not have any electricity there, and I still have the phone to use." Luo Yuan guessed the other party's thoughts without thinking, and quickly gave up the other party's thoughts.
He blew out the candles and the room suddenly became completely dark.
