As the figure approached the fire...

Li Kui raised his eyebrows and saw a thin middle-aged man walking over. Ju was hunched, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and holding a fork in his hand.

What's strange is that this person's face looks like a mouse.

When the mouse saw the rat-faced man, he shivered and said in horror: "The mouse-catching man is here!"

The rat-faced man took out his ears and gusted: "As soon as he came, he heard the screams of mice, there must be many mice in this place."

The mouse raised his forefoot, covered his eyes, and said tremblingly: "I can't see me, I can't see me..."

The hand yelled in a low voice: "Shh, don't talk, or the mouse catcher will hear you."

The rat-faced man looked around and his eyes fell on Li Kui in vain, showing a bright smile, and laughed: "What a big rat."

Mouse: "Uh..."

That hand: "Hmm?"

Li Kui slanted his eyes and said speechlessly: "Are you talking about me?"

"What, you can speak human language!"

The rat faced man took a breath, took three steps back, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, I didn't expect that the thing I was most worried about happened. Rats can continue to kill and evolve. Sooner or later, they will surpass humans, stand at the top of the food chain, and become the overlord of this world."

The mouse glared: "Uh, is he talking about me? Why don't I know I'm so powerful!"

The hand: "It seems, but I think the mouse catcher may be crazy."

The rat-faced man raised his fork high and shouted with a serious expression: "Although my work is extremely humble, despised, and I can't even find a wife, I have always known that I have shouldered a heavy responsibility and that only I can save the future of mankind."

He aimed at Li Kui with a fork and said, "I will go even if there are thousands of rats, so I will die!"

He screamed, and the rat-faced man rushed over.

"Go to your code!"

Li Kui couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up, shook, appeared in front of the mouse-catching man, and quickly retreated.

There was a fresh heart in his hand, still pounding.

The mouse-catching man slowly fell to the ground and let out a desperate cry: "Oh my God, I didn't expect that your mouse has evolved to this level. Human beings are about to finish, it's over..."

He soon disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the mouse started to scream excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of mice ran out and rushed towards the mouse catcher to have a feast.

In a short while, there was no bone left on the ground except for a pool of blood.

The rats disperse.

The mouse and the hand were gone, no trace.

It's like it's never seen since the beginning.

Li Kui kept staring at his pot, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to where those things were going.

It was midnight in a flash.

Hongqi Guiyuan Decoction was finally cooked, Li Kui quickly drank it, and then lay down to sleep.

I don't know how long it has passed...

Li Kui was suddenly awakened by a noise. He heard a sound of reading aloud and stood up to look.

I saw a young man in Confucian clothes and holding a book in his hand in a rolling gray fog, reciting while walking.

The problem is, it's midnight now!

What a fucking book you read!

Just when Li Kui saw this young man, the young man turned his head and looked at Li Kui and smiled: "The long night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. I thought I could not sleep. It turns out that you can't sleep, brother, you can't sleep either."

Li Kui said coldly: "Actually, I can sleep."

The young man walked into the abandoned building on his own, came to Li Kui, and said politely: "Brother, how about talking about it?"

Li Kui said expressionlessly: "I don't want to chat."

The young man smiled awkwardly and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't have to chat, then I'll leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and the chanting became less and less, and finally he could not hear it at all.

Li Kui lay down and went to bed again.

The next day came, Li Kui got up early and went to a nearby stall for breakfast.

Walking in the gray fog, you can hardly see the road ahead.

Fortunately, Li Kui has already walked this path in the past two days.

Not long after, he found the stall, the boss was busy and could smell the fragrance from afar.

"It smells so good..."

Li Kui smelled a special fragrance. He came here two days ago and had never smelled such a fragrant smell.

The boss smiled enthusiastically and said, "What should I eat?"

Li Kui said: "There are five meat buns and vegetable buns each, five fried dough sticks, five eggs, and three bowls of tofu brain."

"Please wait, come soon." The boss shouted, and then he quickly brought the meat, cabbage buns and fried dough sticks and eggs.

"Sorry, the tofu brain has been sold out, I'll do it now." The boss said.

Li Kui said in surprise: "Can you make tofu brain immediately?"

The boss nodded: "Soon, very soon."

As he said that, he turned around and took a knife in his hand.

"ah!"

Not far away, a scream came.

The gray fog blocked the view, and Li Kui couldn't see what was happening there, but the next moment, the boss ran back.

He was holding a bloody head in his arms.

The boss returned to the stall, raised his knife and opened his head, took out the brain matter inside, and put it into a bowl.

"Hehe, tofu brain is coming, it's hot!" The boss held the bowl and put it in front of Li Kui.

There are red and white in the bowl.

“…”

Li Kui suddenly had no appetite. He stood up, waved his hand, and his fingers cut across the boss's neck like a knife.

puff!

The boss fell down with blood squirting his neck.

Li Kui thought about it and remembered that there was a jujube tree nearby, with many dates on it.

"Just eat some dates to satisfy your hunger."

Li Kui cannot ask too much, it would be great if there is something to fill his stomach.

He walked over.

When I arrived at the place, I didn’t see the jujube tree, but I saw a big pit on the ground.

"Huh, where is the tree?" Li Kui blinked and walked forward a few steps, and suddenly heard a strange sound coming from somewhere.

Cough, cough...

It looks like a very rough cowhide is rubbing against each other.

Li Kui followed the sound and walked about twenty meters away. A shock suddenly appeared on his face.

I saw a jujube tree pressing against a poplar tree, rubbing back and forth, and the skin was worn out.

"Oh, it's so good!"

"I've been in love with this sexy poplar tree for a long time and have always wanted to sleep with you."

"Friction, friction..."

Lonely laughter occurred in the jujube tree.

Li Kui's face was tight, he shook his head, and quickly left the scene.

A moment later, Li Kui passed by a dead end and suddenly smelled a fragrance, which made him wake up and improve.

The fragrance comes to your nose, which is emitted from the dead end.

Li Kui pondered for a moment, walked slowly into the dead end, and only after walking ten meters away, a beam of light suddenly rose from the ground.

"A treasure appeared within 100 meters!" Li Kui was delighted and walked forward quickly.

Soon, at the end of the dead end, Li Kui found a piece of wild strawberry.
