My Husband Is An Undead - Chapter 171
“Hahaha!” Gu Yunlan laughed loudly. She leaned on Xuanyuanying’s body, pointed at him and smiled, “Do you feel sick? Don’t you feel sick to them?”
“That’s two different things!” Jiang Chen gave her a blank look.
Xuanyuanying frowned and continued to ask, “When did you find it wrong?”
“I haven’t eaten anything here for 20 years. Although the food outside is unpalatable, sometimes I eat tree roots, but it’s better than short-lived!” The old man looked around carefully and led the three into one. In a dark alley.
“What’s the matter?” Gu Yunlan followed in confusion and looked at him strangely.
“You stand in the dark, and look at the places where there used to be flowers!” The old man pointed at the houses mysteriously.
Gu Yunlan looked in the direction he pointed, and under the setting sun, she actually saw the shadow of a black person!
“It’s a shadow! It’s more a ghost!” Xuanyuanying took Gu Yunlan into his arms and turned to look at the old man.
Gu Yunlan stared at the boss, ghost? Then she saw more than one, but they seemed to be frozen, unable to move!
“Twenty years ago, after a bunch of flowers appeared inexplicably in the town, more and more people in the town were dragged into the flower bushes by vines and let the flowers eat. Our fields began to grow with weeds, and flowers began to flow into the fields. It’s growing!” The old man fell into the memory.
“In half a year, the people in the town went halfway, and even the land outside the town was turned into a desert. There were not many oasis. After turning into a desert, the whole town’s diet became a problem, and there were many towns. People from outside came in to take refuge, there were cannibalistic flowers in the fields, and the town was turned into a desert. The town was almost caught in famine. No one dared to come out during the day, only at night!” The old man was a little emotional.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yunlan quickly took out a water bag and handed it over.
The old man licked his thirsty lips and shook his hand, “Girl! In the desert, water is the guarantee of life, old people can’t drink it!”
“Old man! Take it! Just as reward for telling us a story!” Xuanyuanying whispered.
“Okay!” The old man took the water bag and continued, “Until one day, I didn’t know who accidentally knocked down a flower with a penny. Then he was hungry and uncomfortable. He threw it into the water and boiled it. The mortal heart drank it. Who knew the deliciousness was infinite, and then I didn’t know who passed it out. In this way, the whole town began to spend the night with flowers to satisfy their hunger!”
“At that time, I had been helping people with their luggage for more than half a year in the desert. When I returned, it was already evening. When I saw a lot of people in the fields, I curiously yelled a few times. Who knew that those people were not moving at all, I lost it. A stone passed by, and the stone actually passed through those figures. I was frightened and ran to town!”
“At that time, we didn’t have these flowers and plants in our house, so I didn’t notice any abnormalities at the time. I went back to the house and slept. The next morning I planned to leave the town to find food. Who knows, the sight is full of fields. The flowers, the scenery was really beautiful at the time! Suddenly, I found that the position of these flowers was exactly the same as the position of the figure I saw last night! I didn’t care!”
“I was going to walk out of the town. I just walked to the fence of the town. Who knew that a cane stretched towards me. I was taken aback and ran quickly. I finally got rid of the cane’s tracking. From then on, I have a thought in my heart, is it true that flowers are people? These flowers are all those who died, one flower per person!”
Gu Yunlan covered her mouth in surprise, “Then how many people are there in your town?”
“At most four to fifty thousand people, now less than two thousand!” The old man sighed.
“This is also true, these flowers are just a lot more!” Gu Yunlan nodded.
“Go on!” Jiang Chen looked at the old man with interest.
“Even though it is my own suspicion, I dare not say it. I know no one will believe me. After five years of observation, I found that everyone who eats flowers will not live to be fifty years old! Everyone who dies , There will be one more flower, and I don’t have anything to eat in the town!” The old man sighed.
“What’s even more bizarre is that no matter how many flowers they shoot, a brighter flower will still appear in that place the next day. Some people say that it is even more delicious!”
“It’s okay! We didn’t eat today!” Gu Yunlan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Chen retched in one place.
“Those flowers like to grow at the door!” The old man said again in the dark.
“Mentou is full of yang energy. These things appear as flowers during the day to absorb the yang energy. The more noon, the brighter it comes!” Xuanyuan Ying said.
“You observe carefully, and you understand this is not bad!” The old man glanced at Xuanyuanying appreciatively. He set his eyes on Gu Yunlan’s voice and said kindly, “Girl! The inn where you live is the only one in town, and The food made by their widow’s house is said to be the best in town. Don’t be greedy!”
“Uncle! Don’t be greedy!” Gu Yunlan jokingly looked at the retching generals, that’s right! She is gloating! Haha! She had already discovered something wrong.
Xuanyuan Ying looked at her childish appearance, okay! He wanted to laugh too. He glanced at the old man and asked, “Old man, as far as I know, ordinary people can’t see those things, how do you see them?”
The old man seemed to know that Xuanyuan Yinghui asked such a question, and said indifferently, “When I was young, I used to help people carry things in the desert. It was taught by a customer. Incidentally, he opened his eyes, so now I can see these differences. thing!”
“Crazy old man! What are you doing with three outsiders in the alley? Don’t you want to rob you? Haha!” Suddenly three heads came out of the alley, looked at the people mockingly, and said a few words. Just run away.
The old man slowly turned around and walked out, sighing lightly, “You guys! Go to bed early tonight, close the doors and windows, and leave in the middle of the night! This is not for you! Oh! Thank you girl for the water!”
Gu Yunlan and Xuanyuan took a look at it. She knew that the old man told her to tell her, in order to repay a bag of water!
They say the old man is crazy? In fact, the people in their entire town are crazy, but the old man is sober!
Xuanyuanying took her out, ignoring the generals who were still vomiting, he comforted, “We will leave tomorrow morning, these flowers can’t hurt us!”
Gu Yunlan pursed his lips. The two of them left the alley and continued to walk forward. There were more people on the street, and the sky darkened. The figure of the old man was long gone.
She raised her head again and looked at the door of each house, not to mention, there were really more than one ghost, and the sky darkened and the ghosts became clearer and clearer.
“Are you afraid?” Xuanyuanying asked softly.
“You are by your side, I suddenly feel at ease, I’m not afraid!” Gu Yunlan shook his head and snuggled into his arms. The weather was a bit cold. They should go home early tomorrow. How to say, they are just a passerby here!
Xuanyuanying’s heart suddenly felt full, and she happily took Gu Yunlan and walked towards the brightly lit place.
Before I got there, I heard the excitement, the sound of gongs and drums, and a festive atmosphere filled the surroundings.
The two walked past a corner, and the entire ghost market appeared in Gu Yunlan’s sight in a straight line. Apart from eating, it was some woven items, carved in stone.
Gu Yunlan watched every spot that he was interested in slowly. What do you say? Yes, every place has its own unique place. Although there is no other entertainment here, they can only associate with the stones, and every stone is carved like alive.
“Interested? Would you like Uncle to carve one for us?” Xuanyuan Ying asked with a smile.
“Okay!” Gu Yunlan smiled, she also has this plan, this can be regarded as a memorial to the trip to the desert! She picked up the only two white stones on the stall and said to the uncle who was carving, “Uncle, can you carve for me?”
The stall owner slowly raised his head, glanced at the stones in their hands, and directly said, “One stone and one or two gold!”
Gu Yunlan was taken aback for a moment, what an expensive thing, is the gold used here?
“Boom!” Two golden things were thrown on the table, Xuanyuan should order, “Put up our carvings, and we will wait here!”
“Please sit down!” The stall owner motioned for the two to sit on the long bench in front of the stall. After they were seated, they carefully looked at the two and asked, “Two carved together? Or one stone for one person?”
“Um… one person, one stone, it would be better!” Gu Yunlan thought for a moment, looking at the stall owner expectantly.
The stall owner nodded, then lowered his head, picked up the stone, his hands moved quickly, his hands were accurate, almost every cut was accurate, the stone was like tofu in his hand, let him carve it, After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Yunlan’s model came out.
Gu Yunlan opened his eyes wide, and had to say that this technique is really unique!
“Would you like to engrave?” the stall owner kept scratching his hands and asked.
“Yes! Any word is fine!” Gu Yunlan nodded.
A few minutes later, Gu Yunlan held the carving in her hand and was shocked. She was sitting gracefully on the stone, beautiful!
Xuanyuanying took the stone sculpture from her hand and quickly put it away, “Give it to me! Uncle, give it to you!”
“How can you be like this? Mine! Give it to me!” Gu Yunlan immediately recovered, staring at him fiercely, robber!
Half an hour later, Gu Yunlan reluctantly put the statue in her hand into the storage bag, and grabbed it. There was no way!
She waved Xuanyuanying’s hand and stood up. She was angry, hum!
“Wow! Someone is dancing the lion over there! Go and have a look!” Suddenly a male voice shouted.
Immediately, a large crowd of people squeezed toward there in a bustling manner.
“Huh! Really! There are still tricks!”
“Let’s go!”
There was a crowd of people. As soon as Gu Yunlan got up, the crowd squeezed in. I don’t know who pushed her. She was unstable in the center and fell towards the carving stall. One hand quickly pulled her into her arms. in!
“Let go of me! You shameless!” Gu Yunlan blushed and shouted softly.
“Ah! Dead!” I didn’t know who shouted in the crowd.
