Chapter 9 Gu Village (9) Will Eat You
On the first night in Heilongzhai, Tan Yue slept very well. When he woke up, he felt refreshed, and the gloomy atmosphere brought by the rain yesterday was swept away.
He couldn't remember exactly what he dreamed about, but he vaguely remembered that it was a beautiful dream that made him immersed in it.
The handsome young man stretched lazily, his pajamas slid up, revealing a snow-white waistline.
No one in the village raised a rooster that could crow, so he woke up naturally. The sky had already turned pale, and the rising sun looked as red as an egg yolk with a red heart. If nothing unexpected happened, today should be a sunny day.
The sun rises early in the summer. Tan Yue took out his cell phone to check the time. It was 6 o'clock in the morning. No wonder the sun was so bright and the sky was full of morning glow, but it was not blinding at all.
According to the original plan of the tour group, the 30 people were supposed to take a bus to visit Qishi Peak today. Considering his special situation, Tan Yue planned to find a tour guide first.
There was a very rapid "beep, beep, beep" sound, which obviously meant the call was not going through, not that no one was answering the phone.
Tan Yue frowned. It was always unhappy when things were beyond his plan.
The tour guide gave me this phone number when the tour started, and told me not to call unless it was important.
He remembered something, glanced at the upper right corner of the screen, and tried to call the police again, but it still didn't work. There was no network signal, and no communication signal. It seemed that the signal in the village was too poor, and it was temporarily impossible to contact the outside world.
Tan Yue didn't take it too seriously: I can ask the tour guide when I get out. It's so early, I shouldn't be left behind by the tour group. And even if I am left behind, I can ask the people in the village and find a way out later.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Tan Yue cooked the breakfast he had prepared yesterday. He rubbed his handsome face which was full of collagen and began to tidy up his image in front of the mirror.
There is always a little difference between people who are in a relationship and those who are not. For example, he is now paying special attention to some details of appearance because he has just started a relationship.
The lights at night are dim, which is equivalent to applying a beauty filter. The atmosphere can make people ignore their clothes and appearance, but it is different during the day. The light is so bright that many flaws are clearly visible.
The ultraviolet rays in Y Province are very strong, so he brought half a bottle of old sunscreen left over by his mother and patiently applied it on his face. As there was a slight difference in color between his face and neck, he applied a little on his neck as well.
His lips seemed not red enough, a little dry, and not looking very good. But there was no way he could have lipstick in his backpack, so after searching for a long time, he found half a tube of colorless citrus-flavored lip balm left over from the winter in the interlayer.
After applying it, the thin lips immediately have a layer of moist luster and look much better than before.
Due to limited conditions, many things could not be used, but the wisdom of the working people is endless. Tan Yue used a comb dipped in water and successfully pressed down the curled hair.
Fill a thin cup with freshly boiled water and use the bottom of the cup to slowly iron the wrinkled shirts in the suitcase.
After getting himself ready, Tan Yue took a deep breath and made sure that there was only the refreshing mint scent of white peach oolong tea. Then he knocked on Guan Shan's door: "Ashan, Ashan, are you awake? Can I come in?"
He woke up very early and didn't see Guanshan outside. He went to the kitchen first and prepared the sauce with balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, chili pepper... and local seasoning powder. He put the sweet potato noodles that he had soaked last night into the pot and cooked two bowls of hot and sour noodles while boiling water.
The hot and sour noodles are added with yesterday’s fried soybeans and fried peanuts.
The cold-mixed shredded carrots, crispy cucumbers and meat sauce are all added today. This simple bowl of hot and sour noodles is so presentable and rich that it can be sold in a restaurant.
For fear that the smoke would stick to his body and leave him with a smell, he cooked in his pajamas and an apron, and then came out to change his clothes before knocking on the door next door.
Tan Yue held the door handle, carefully opened the door a crack, and said to the people in the room: "I have cooked the hot and sour noodles. It tastes better when you eat it hot."
"What are you sneaking around here for?"
The voice suddenly appeared behind Tan Yue. Because the voice was too ethereal, it was inexplicably eerie.
He immediately turned around and patted his chest with lingering fear: "Ashan, scaring people can kill them. You scared me."
"Coward." Guan Shan did not correct himself that he was not actually a human being. He could only say that he was scary.
Tan Yue pointed to his cheek and said, "I was scared by you. I want compensation."
Human beings are full of tricks, and all these things are in their minds.
Guan Shan thought about it and agreed: How could such a bold guy be frightened? He was obviously pretending just now. He kissed her lightly, with a perfunctory look.
Tan Yue was easily satisfied and did not mind that the kiss was short: he directly kissed Guan Shan's mouth, which was always unable to say nice things: "Good morning, dear Ashan!"
After the kiss, he took two steps back and gave several sincere and enthusiastic compliments: "You look so beautiful today! Red suits you very well!"
Guanshan changed into a new set of clothes today. He was not wearing black, but red, a very bright red top and navy blue black pants.
There were large patches of green bamboo embroidered on her clothes, and half of her beautiful snow-white arms and calves were still exposed. The golden snake anklet on her ankle should be replaced because she had obviously gained weight.
Her long hair was originally tied into a simple wolf-tail braid, but today it was braided into a scorpion braid, with colorful ropes used on her hair. It looks flashy and very youthful.
Guan Shan's gorgeous yet somewhat eerie eyes and brows reveal a wild beauty that has not been polluted by the city. He lacks the divinity that he had when we first met yesterday, and looks innocent and cruel.
It is this unique wildness of nature that attracts Tan Yue and makes him fascinated by it.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Tan Yue washed the two bowls. He often did housework when he was at home, and he relied on washing dishes to earn pocket money since he was a child.
"By the way, I need to go out for a while and check with the tour guide. Ah Shan, do you want to come with me?"
Guan Shan shook his head, very arrogant and cold: "No."
The villagers in the village were not qualified to see him. As for the tourists who came in with Tan Yue, they were like ants to him.
The gods are high above and have no interest in ingredients that are not special.
All living things are food for weirdness, including themselves. High-level weirdness will also eat low-level weirdness, and some even nourish weirdness more than humans.
To the weird, humans are delicious food, just like humans eat lambs, roast suckling pigs, and various delicious desserts.
Without humans from the surface world, the residents of the strange world still need to live and eat. But the weak, full of vitality, and delicious humans enter the inner world as outsiders. For them, it is the strong aroma of food that is exuded all the time.
Eating is a strange instinct, and as they eat more and more humans, the gap will widen. When the inner world is completely merged with the surface world, they will have more food.
Humans will fight among themselves, strong countries will invade weak countries around them, and fight everywhere to expand their territory. The same is true for the weird world. The difference is that the residents of the other world are more cruel, believe more in the law of the jungle, and have no moral principles.
Guan Shan would not be easily tempted by human flesh and blood, because the quality of humans at this stage was too low. If he wanted to rely on eating to obtain energy, eating high-level weirdness would be a thousand times more efficient.
With the mark he had planted on Tan Yue, Guan Shan was not worried that he would be eaten by the weak weirdos in the village. But even without the mark, he doubted that Tan Yue would be fine.
After all, he is a human being who can regard poisonous insects as mosquitoes and wasps. Can those poisonous insects that are too weak really have any effect on him?
Guan Shan thought about it and adjusted the protection range of the brand. It would only work when life was in danger. He sat in the yard and watched Tan Yue leave.
"Tan Yue." Guan Shan suddenly called the other party's name.
The latter immediately turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
The beautiful young man in red suddenly said, "Remember what you promised me."
Yesterday in the village, it seemed that a little bug discovered that something was wrong with the world, and it just happened to regard Tan Yue as its life-saving straw.
Guan Shan is looking forward to Tan Yue seeing the true side of the world; that will be one of the few pleasures in his too long life.
How would Tan Yue react at that time? Cry bitterly, run away in fear, and then run away without hesitation after calming down?
He had reminded me at the beginning: "His feelings must never be betrayed."
If Tan Yue was really frightened enough to try to escape, He would eat him without mercy.
For the sake of the friendship they have established over the past few days, Tan Yue will not suffer too much pain, nor will he die ugly. He will quietly and completely become a part of His body.
Tan Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "As far as I can remember, nothing can separate us except death."
He didn't know if it was because Guan Shan had been cheated on before, so he kept emphasizing on the issue of loyalty. Tan Yue didn't know about the other person's past, but he was willing to give positive responses over and over again.
Based on his memory, Tan Yue quickly arrived at Grandma Li's house. It was not yet 8 o'clock in the morning.
The gate to Grandma Li's house was ajar. The old lady had gone out to the mountains to pick mushrooms and was too lazy to serve outsiders.
The leftover rice from yesterday was cooked into multi-grain porridge and fed to these young people like piglets. The old man had only one attitude: eat it if you want or not.
The students in the studio were all having breakfast, but Wang Yihan refused to eat. After everyone finished eating, they went to their rooms to rest, but he sat alone in the sun, staring at the courtyard door with a haggard face.
Hearing someone pushing the door open, he subconsciously held a dustpan in front of him. When he saw Tan Yue's face, the dustpan in Wang Yihan's hand fell to the ground with a "pop".
This trend-setter with dyed yellow hair who thought he was at the forefront of fashion rushed forward, then slid to his knees and hugged Tan Yue's thighs tightly. He cried bitterly and said, "Boss! Godfather! Where did you go yesterday?! Please take me with you today!"
