"..."
The ward was dead silent, then Zhou Xiaozhen covered her mouth and began to cry.
"Why are you crying?" Yu Xiao said to the outside, "Thank you, no need."
The outside was silent for a moment, then said, "Really no need? I still have a lot of delicious food here, salted human tongue, boneless human claws, cold mixed human silk..."
As the names of the dishes were announced one by one, the faces of the three people in the ward turned green. Zhao Lan didn't care about being afraid and shouted, "No, no, go away!"
"What a pity, there are so many delicious foods." The voice outside sounded very regretful, "Hehe, if you don't eat here, the only thing you can eat is food~" "
..."
The sound of the cart was heard again outside, and Yu Xiao and the other two looked at each other. Zhou Xiaozhen was timid. Seeing her two sisters' serious faces, she asked carefully, "What did you mean just now?"
Yu Xiao looked at her and raised her hand to touch her head. It was all stubble and it was a little prickly. She looked at the girl with pity, "Aren't you still in high school? You can't understand this."
Zhou Xiaozhen's mouth squinted and she wanted to cry again. Zhao Lan pushed Yu Xiao's hand away, "What are you doing? Don't scare Xiaozhen."
Sister Lan is still the best! Zhou Xiaozhen looked at Zhao Lan eagerly, and Zhao Lan said softly, "What it means is that people who don't eat will be eaten by ghosts."
"Woo..."
"Tsk." Yu Xiao put her index finger in front of her lips, motioning them to be quiet, "Here it comes again."
The sound of the rolling cart outside was getting closer and closer. Looking at Zhou Xiaozhen with tears in her eyes, Zhao Lan suddenly felt a sense of responsibility as an older sister. She held one person's hand with one hand and comforted them, "Don't be afraid, at least now we know how to tell whether it's a human or a ghost outside."
After that, she listened to the movement outside with her mouth close to the door. Soon the sound of the cart disappeared, and a quite pleasant male voice said in a low voice, "Do you want to buy food?"
Zhou Xiaozhen showed joy, "The voice is so nice, it should be a person, right?"
Zhao Lan motioned for her to be quiet, and then rushed to the door and said, "What dishes do you have?"
The voice said, "There are steamed eggs, shredded potatoes, braised chicken, stir-fried cabbage, seaweed egg soup..."
"They are all for human consumption!" Zhou Xiaozhen said in surprise, "We want food!"
Zhao Lan frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved. There was nothing wrong with the delivery person this time.
"Okay." The person outside said, "What dishes do you want?"
"I'm really a little hungry, let's order a braised chicken." Zhou Xiaozhen asked the two people for their opinions, "I want to eat meat."
Zhao Lan leaned against the door, a smile appeared on his pale face, "I don't have much appetite, let's order a steamed egg, what do you want to eat, Xiaoxiao?"
Yu Xiao yawned, she was really too sleepy, and her appetite was not very good, she just wanted to eat something with rice. So she asked, "What flavor do you want for your shredded potatoes?"
There was silence outside, and then said, "It's salty."
Originally, Yu Xiao wanted to eat hot and sour shredded potatoes, but she also liked the normal flavor, so she said, "Then let's have a portion of shredded potatoes."
The three of them ordered the meal, and there was another clattering sound outside, like the sound of putting a lunch box into a plastic bag. Soon there was a light knock on the door, "Okay, open the door and get the food."
Zhao Lan took a step back, Zhou Xiaozhen unlocked the door, and just as she was about to open it, the door clicked, and Yu Xiao held Zhou Xiaozhen's hand.
Zhou Xiaozhen: ""
Yu Xiao said to the outside: "Are you Xiao Chen? Usually you come with your mother to deliver food, why are you alone today?"
"My mother is sick." It was still that low but pleasant voice, "I came alone"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Zhou Xiaozhen asked: "The Mediterranean uncle who comes to sell food every day is called Xiao Chen?"
Yu Xiao looked scared, "I didn't know."
"Oh, we've been discovered." The voice outside suddenly became louder, "Open the door!"
"Bang!" The door was hit with a loud noise.
"Ah!" Zhou Xiaozhen shuddered, and Yu Xiao quickly locked the door again.
"I almost let him in just now, I almost killed you..." Zhou Xiaozhen's face turned pale.
"Bang!" The banging on the door continued.
Just when Yu Xiao was at a loss, Zhou Xiaozhen suddenly stood up and slapped the door, making it clang.
Then, in front of Yu Xiao and Zhao Lan's shocked gazes, she yelled, "What are you arguing about, you idiot! If you try to knock on the door again, I'll fight you! I haven't taken a shit in five days, if you dare, eat me, I'll let you taste the taste of a dry cookie..."
Zhou Xiaozhen had been living in fear since she entered this bullshit game, and she finally let it out at this moment. She outputted a lot, and finally felt good. After she felt good, she listened to the noise outside. It was extremely quiet outside, and the thing that was knocking on the door seemed to have left.
"Huh, they're finally gone." Zhou Xiaozhen wiped the cold sweat from her head and turned to look at Zhao Lan and Yu Xiao, "Sister Lan, I... Eh? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhao Lan: "..."
"Very good." Yu Xiao patted her shoulder approvingly, "Please keep this momentum."
Zhou Xiaozhen blushed and said shyly, "Actually, I'm not like this usually."
"We understand." Zhao Lan smiled at her, then continued to put his ear against the door, and said to Yu Xiao, "It was really dangerous just now, it's a good thing you were alert. What should we do now? Ghosts can also pretend to be normal delivery men."
"Let me think about it." Yu Xiao frowned. What she was most worried about now was not that she couldn't tell the real delivery man, but that she didn't know how many times the delivery man would come outside. If they miss the real meal delivery person, they will have to go hungry. However, according to their speculation, patients who don't eat will become food for ghosts.
There was no time to think about it, and the sound of a cart was heard outside the door again.
"Buy a meal?"
Yu Xiao decided to change her mind. She said, "Buy a meal, but we don't know what's the best food here. By the way, what's your favorite dish? Recommend it to me."
"Ah..." The outside person seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be savoring it. "Of course it's charcoal grilled human heart~"
Yu Xiao closed his eyes and said coldly: "Get out, next one!"
...
"Buy a meal?"
"Buy a meal." Yu Xiao: "Recommend a dish you like most."
"Sour fish."
Hmm? The three looked at each other. Zhou Xiaozhen whispered, "Could this be a human?"
"It's possible." Zhao Lan said, "Let's try again."
Zhou Xiaozhen cleared her throat and said pretentiously, "Are you Xiao Chen? You usually come with your mother to deliver food, but you're the only one here today?"
The man outside seemed to be in a bad mood, "My last name is not Chen, my mother has been dead for many years, and I've been delivering food alone for so many years!"
The three were delighted to hear this irritable remark. Zhao Lan asked, "So what dishes do you have?"
"Radish soup, shredded potatoes, steamed eggs, stir-fried pork with celery..."
"The dishes are normal." Zhao Lan thought about it carefully and didn't find anything wrong. "I remember that the uncle who delivers the dishes every day has a bad temper."
"Are you sure?" Zhou Xiaozhen put her hand on the door handle. "Are you sure? Then let's order the dishes."
Now they didn't think about what to eat. It was good to have something to eat. They weren't picky. Just as they were about to order, Yu Xiao suddenly said, "The food in the cafeteria tastes really good. By the way, what else do you put in the most delicious dish in your cafeteria besides salt, soy sauce, human brain, and MSG?"
"Ah?" The people outside seemed extremely confused, "It's delicious enough just to put human brain in it, do you need to put anything else?"
"..."
Zhou Xiaozhen said tiredly, "Why don't we just eat potato chips tonight."
The voice outside was extremely impatient, "Do you still want to eat?"
"No, get out!"
Yu Xiao felt very tired physically, and her heart was even more tired. She leaned against the door, her ears buzzing, and said weakly, "I can't do it anymore. I feel like my intermittent hearing loss is going to act up again."
"Ah? What should I do?" Zhou Xiaozhen looked at her worriedly.
Yu Xiao forced a smile and said, "Don't worry about me, you'll be fine after a good sleep."
"No." Zhou Xiaozhen was about to cry, "You can't hear, how are we supposed to tell whether it's a human or a ghost outside? Sister Lan and I are not smart, what would we do without you?"
Veins bulged on Zhao Lan's forehead, he tried to hold back, but couldn't. He placed his palm on Zhou Xiaozhen's head and stroked it, "This little head is really pretty, and she speaks nicely."
"What?" Yu Xiao looked at the two people blankly, "What are you talking about?"
"It's over, Xiaoxiao is deaf." Zhou Xiaozhen suddenly felt hopeless in life, and then she said to Zhao Lan with a fearless attitude: "Sister Lan, let me be the first to die when the ghosts come in later. I will protect you after I become a ghost."
Faced with her serious request, Zhao Lan didn't know what expression to use to face it. Fortunately, the sound of a cart outside the door saved her.
Yu Xiao felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have used the nickname of the heir of the deaf. She didn't expect that she couldn't hear at such a critical moment. The two people in front of her opened and closed their mouths, and her world was silent.
"Buy food?"
This was a very ordinary male voice.
Zhou Xiaozhen gave Yu Xiao a reassuring look, and then said: "The food in the cafeteria tastes really good. By the way, what else do you put in the most delicious dish in your cafeteria besides salt, soy sauce, human brain, and MSG?"
There was silence outside the door.
Zhao Lan exhaled softly, thinking, is it a ghost again?
Then the person outside the door got angry, "Are you crazy? You only put human brains in your family's cooking. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you..."
After that, the sound of a cart was heard, and they began to move away from their ward.
Zhao Lan's brain exploded, and he banged on the door and shouted: "No, we were just joking, come back! If you don't come back, we will starve to death!!"
Yu Xiao, who was standing aside and worried, saw the two people suddenly banging on the door excitedly and shouting something outside the door. She recalled Zhou Xiaozhen's firepower output before, and felt very relieved. Their wards may not have enough survival ability, but their attack power is still very strong.
Look at how aggressive they are when they curse, it seems like they can't wait to push open the door and chase out.
