MTL - Okay, I Can’t Eat This-Chapter 31
"Did you really give her birth date?" Meng Shu was a little stunned, turned around and asked in a hurry.
Xie Chi raised his eyebrows: "Guess."
Meng Shu: …
"Go back and have a full meal, I'm busy tonight." Xie Chi whispered.
The two of them didn't leave immediately, and they watched for a long time. Other sacrifice methods are actually quite common, and they are not new to them, but for those living in big cities, they are rare.
So although this live broadcast is not so scary, the audience is not less than usual, even adding a layer of mystery because of what happened before.
Many people called their friends to come and see, and as soon as someone entered the live broadcast room, they started to say: Hey? I heard that there is a supernatural event happening here?
Not to mention, the paper sedan held down the four big men, and the mountain **** indicated that he wanted to change his daughter-in-law, which sounded really supernatural.
Xie Chi finished watching the ritual of offering sacrifices to the mountain gods, which included a ritual dance that looked mysterious, um, the old goddess danced with a group of people wearing masks.
The shape of the mask was a bit like the image of the evil ghost in people's hearts. It was painted red, with a grim expression, and there were two fangs on the mouth, which were slanted to both sides.
But the mask on the goddess' face was different from everyone else's. It was a white background, the eyes were painted black, and there were very strange patterns. At a glance, it looked a bit like a black and white monkey, which was quite funny.
After watching the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the mountain gods, there is nothing interesting in the future. Xie Chi stayed for a while, and then went back to dinner with Meng Shu. After all, it was already noon at this time.
Only now did she have time to watch her own barrage, and the barrage was all asking:
'Anchor anchor, this time you won't say you have to believe in science, right? Then explain to me, a palanquin made of paper, plus a paper figurine, does it sink two or two? How can you crush 4 sedan chairs'
'It must be the anchor who colluded, so you don't need to ask! ’
'I just want to see how the anchor is going to do it this time! ’
‘Anyway, since I watched this live broadcast, I have become more and more convinced that there are ghosts in this world. ’
'You can't see the real fans of the anchor! Like us, the programs we are waiting for are always carefully edited by the anchor... No, popular science, you don't understand that kind of happiness at all! ’
'So when will the anchor go to singled out the mountain god? We need to live stream the whole time, this time you can't close it early! ’
'So are you going to talk to the mountain **** tonight? ’
'I was imprisoned... I begged him for a long time before he admitted that he was a human series'
In fact, many people in these comments did not believe in ghosts, and they were playing tricks, but Xie Chi didn't know, she thought she was revealing, and her expression gradually became solemn.
This kind of work really sucks! But the next task of my own, I have to finish it with gritted teeth.
Xie Chi originally thought that after the live broadcast, the Mountain God Festival will be closed first. In the evening, I will go to the mountain **** to have a heart-to-heart talk, and then when I live broadcast tomorrow, I will prove to everyone that there is no mountain **** at all. Live together, they are like this As soon as he did it, Xie Chi felt a little helpless.
how to break...
Xie Chi frowned tightly, and began to seriously think about how to make up nonsense at night, so as to make it round this time, and to find her from above, not to let her prove that there are really ghosts in this world.
And after a long live broadcast, there must be blacks and fans. Among them, there is a particularly radical one. The ID is called Merry Monk. He seems to believe that Xie Chi is colluding with people every time he broadcasts. If you turn off the live broadcast late, you must complain to her.
There was a sudden quarrel in the barrage, and Xie Chi was guarded, and felt that whether there was a script or not, it was enough to watch it carefully.
Some people feel that there is no script at all, so what's the point of making a fuss.
Some also think that Xie Chi has bribed others to act every time, deceiving the audience.
Xie Chi didn't bother about their quarrel. The main concern was what to do with the live broadcast at night. She gritted her teeth: "The live broadcast is not closed at night, you can watch it."
There will always be a way, the big deal is to release the dumplings ahead of time and let her go and eat that **** mountain **** first!
When she said this, the live broadcast room burst into cheers, and there were even fewer quarrels, leaving only a few who were still mocking.
Meng Shu winked at the side. He is an insider, and now he is a little worried about how to fool the audience at night.
Xie Chi's expression was very calm, the boat went straight to the bridge, and if it didn't go straight, it straightened.
The two returned to their residence to prepare for dinner. There was a live broadcast in the evening. Maybe they still had the physical strength to work hard. Only when they had enough to eat and drink would they have the strength. Usually, the one who came to deliver meals was a little girl in the village, fifteen or sixteen years old. is the youngest daughter of the landlord of the house they rented.
But it was Yue Feng who came to deliver the meal today.
Yue Feng bared his big white teeth, and started laughing as soon as he came in: "I've caused you trouble, but the people in the village are indeed a little more superstitious than the people outside, there's no way, everyone has come here for generations, if you If you don't agree, people in the village must be in a mess, and it's hard for my father to do it, so thank you very much."
"It's nothing, it's not a big deal anyway." Xie Chi smiled and said nothing.
Yue Feng put the food in his hand on the table. Today's food is extraordinarily rich. There is a bowl of chicken soup, and a river fish, which is carp with garlic, stir-fried a wild vegetable, and a stewed meat with bamboo shoots.
"This chicken is stewed with honey mushroom. The scientific name is hazel mushroom. This thing can't be cultivated artificially. It grows on the mountain here. You can't eat it outside." Yue Feng introduced enthusiastically: "Wait for you to play. When you're done and want to go home, I'll pack a bag for you, and you can take it home to eat."
"And this fish, it's really rare for a wild carp to grow so big. It's fresh from the river. I didn't dare to put too much green pepper. If you try it, it doesn't suit your appetite."
"The bamboo shoots are also grown at home. Unfortunately, it is not the season to eat bamboo shoots. Fresh bamboo shoots are more delicious. If you want to eat them, you can leave an address and I will send you some when new bamboo shoots are available."
Xie Chi naturally thanked first and then refused. There is no reason to take advantage of others. She tasted it. The chicken soup was indeed very delicious, and the mushrooms in it were also smooth and tender, especially refreshing. The advantage is that the food is fresh and natural, which is indeed much better than that of artificial breeding.
Yue Feng sat for a while longer, Xie Chi invited him to eat a piece, he waved his hand and said that he had eaten, and there was something busy outside, and then left.
Meng Shu ate like a pig next to him, with a happy expression on his face: "I really like this mushroom! When I think that I won't be able to eat it after I go back, I feel quite uncomfortable. Alas, let's bring some back and buy more. A little, I want to send some to my master!"
"Take it slowly, does it taste better with sleeping pills?" Xie Chi wiped his mouth and asked with a smile.
Meng Shu: …
"What? Sleeping pills?"
"It's not the kind that I bought, it's the sleeping pills I made myself." Xie Chi said calmly: "I'm quite familiar with it. Usually, the first time a normal person uses the medicine, he will subconsciously add a little more seasoning, trying to cover the possible odor. , but the seasoning for this one is just right, do you know what that means?"
Meng Shu: …
The poor little one didn't speak for a long time, and the hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly.
"Why didn't you say it earlier... and how did you know..."
The people in the live broadcast room are also very curious, if it is really put on sleeping pills, it is so amazing that you can eat it as soon as you eat it?
There is definitely a script! Is it collusion?
Xie Chi raised his head and glanced at him, then said: "My teacher... My brother studied medicine, Chinese medicine. When I was a kid, I would give him the herbs and dispense the medicine. It's not the kind of sleeping pills bought in the market, after all, that Planting medicine will definitely make the taste of the soup weird, and what is in it is prepared with herbal medicine.
In the live broadcast room, there was another group of barrages saying that she was bragging.
But Meng Shu believes it very much, and the boss will not deceive people in this regard! He choked for a moment, and then asked: "Then... Then are we going to be robbed of money?"
"I suspect that this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, so the situation may be worse than I thought." Xie Chi held his chin: "Oh, by the way, I will broadcast a crime-fighting accomplice to everyone."
The barrage started laughing again, mainly because many people felt that there was a script for this, and they didn't believe that it was really drugged, otherwise they might have called the police directly.
In addition, Xie Chi's attitude was very calm, so everyone was just booing, and no one thought of calling the police for a while.
Seeing Xie Chi so calm and so calm, Meng Shu also calmed down: "I'll listen to you anyway."
Xie Chi glanced at him, didn't speak, and lowered his head to eat again, Meng Shu's expression became awkward: "When I think of the medicine in it, the taste has changed no matter how delicious it is..."
"Soothing the gods, it's you who are hungry if you don't eat for a while."
Meng Shu's expression became even more distorted, and after hesitating for a while, he lowered his head to drink the soup.
The two of them are eating, let alone, as long as you don't think that there are medicines in this soup, you are still very happy to eat. The two of them turned this kind of live broadcast with horror elements into a style of eating and broadcasting, and they watched a lot. The audience had the urge to drool and silently ordered takeout or something.
After Xie Chi had eaten and drank enough, he crossed his legs and started to look through his bag. From the mezzanine, he pulled out several small boxes, all of which were made of wood and carved with beautiful patterns.
"Well, stick it under your feet to refresh your mind." Xie Chi flipped through a bunch of messy things, including the thin plaster stickers.
Mainly because she couldn't completely solve the effect of the medicine, she could only relieve it a little, and the rest was all up to her willpower, and Xie Chi had always been confident in her own willpower.
Meng Shu was even more miserable. The bunch of blisters under his feet were lifted, and then the plaster was applied.
Moreover, the effect of this medicine came on quite quickly, Meng Shu soon felt a little drowsy, but fortunately, the pain and coolness under his feet could keep him awake to a certain extent.
The two went back to their respective houses, lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep. Xie Chi pretended to be asleep and then really fell asleep, but with the dumplings around, she was not at all good.
About two hours later, the door creaked open.
Yue Feng walked in from outside the door with two young people. Yue Feng walked in the front and took a closer look. Xie Chi slept soundly, and sneered at that time: "Don't blame me, I didn't intend to do it, Who made the mountain **** take a fancy to you?"
"Take people away."
"Brother Feng, where are you going?" One of the young people asked vaguely, "Would you like to stay with those?"
Another said: "Farewell, anyway, I will send it to the mountain **** at night, which is different from those."
"You're the only one talking." Yue Feng turned his head and glared at him: "Everyone has different drug resistance, what if they wake up? Shut it off first, and then pull it out at night, there's no harm in being careful. of."
"What about the guy next to you?"
"Men are worthless..."
"Go to the empty room and wait until the Mountain God Festival is over." Yue Feng waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward to carry Xie Chi.
Yue Feng picked up Xie Chi's bag, opened it and started to look through it, presumably looking for the money inside.
Because it is very likely that mobile payment is not popular in places like the mountainous area, Xie Chi brought some money for emergency. stuffed into his pocket.
He didn't touch the other things, and threw them back on the kang. Many things in it were to be destroyed directly, such as mobile phones. He was different from other people in the village. He went to college and knew a lot of things. He knew this. The mobile phones of the years can be positioned, and you can't put yourself in for such a little thing.
Xie Chi was woken up by being poked and dumped. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he found himself in a large room. The room was pitch-dark except for an oil lamp hanging on the wall. The light was dim, reflecting the unevenness. ground, and damp walls.
Xie Chi sat up and found himself lying on the straw. There were several girls around, of different ages. The youngest looked like sixteen or seventeen, and the older ones looked like twenty-five or sixteen. All of them had expressions on their faces. Numbness, sitting or lying down.
Xie Chi frowned, got up from the straw, and found that the camera on her button was untouched, and she was a little unhappy. If the camera was turned off, she could still solve all problems violently, and she said to the audience afterwards, Oops, I didn't shut it down, it's nothing to do with me, I don't know anything.
After Xie Chi adjusted the camera a little, he got close to the girl closest to him. The girl was in her early twenties, definitely no more than 23 years old, and squatted there with her knees in a daze.
"Hello." Xie Chi was afraid of scaring her, so he softened his voice: "Can I ask where is this place? What's going on with everyone?"
The girl raised her head and glanced at Xie Chi, probably knowing that she was a newcomer, and there was still some pity in her eyes: "This is the cellar..."
"Don't you know? People in this village kidnap and sell, and you will be sold soon."
She smiled bitterly: "they suddenly locked me in the cellar two days ago, and I knew there were new people coming to the village. We were all kidnapped not long ago. Whenever people came to the village for tourism, they would Will lock us up so we don't talk nonsense."
Xie Chi frowned, and sure enough, she had guessed a bit before, but she still underestimated what Yue Feng was doing.
"That's not right? If people who came to this village for tourism disappeared frequently, they would have been investigated long ago." This is where Xie Chi was confused before, which is why she thought that the village might not have done anything particularly disgusting. child's reason.
Even if everyone who came here is arrested, and there is no way to pass the news to the outside world, do they not care about their family members when they are missing?
Don't the family know where they go to play? Won't you call the police?
"You know what's the use of these..." The girl's expression became more bitter. She didn't want to say it at first, but she probably felt too much pain in her heart, and finally she couldn't hold back.
"It's not what you think..."
"People in this village are usually kidnapped and sold outside. No matter men, women, children or children, they will sell the abducted and trafficked people to other places. This is all the income in this village."
"I don't know why, they obviously made a lot of money by abducting and selling, but they won't move out to live, and because the place is very remote, few girls are willing to marry in, so many young people can't get wives. When they were abducting and selling, they selected young girls from them and brought them back to this village to be their daughter-in-law. This is the case with all of us."
"Do you think there are very few people in this village? They don't go out to work or work in the fields at all. Instead, they abduct and sell women and children all over the country. They only come back before and after the Mountain God Festival."
The girl gritted her teeth and said: "What kind of good people have good rewards are fake! These beasts are living a good life, how about me? I... I just met an old grandma who claimed to have a heart attack at the station. I Help her to buy medicine, help her to rest, but she is..."
Xie Chi raised his hand and touched her head gently: "Good people will have good rewards, and bad people will have bad rewards. It's just that the time has not come, don't be afraid, you can leave here soon."
The girl's mood was a little broken: "Impossible! We can't leave! It's not that I haven't escaped! I have escaped three times!"
She stood up suddenly, and took two steps with tears on her face. Xie Chi realized that her leg was lame.
The girl's eyes were so dark and full of despair: "When I ran away for the first time, I was caught, they beat me, and chained me in the room. After the second escape, I was still caught. When I got it back, they said, as long as I can have a baby, they broke my leg, and if I didn’t treat it, we couldn’t run… we couldn’t run…”
"But I miss my mom so much... I miss her so much..."
Xie Chi looked at her and looked at the numb-looking girls. The girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old even had a big belly.
The anger in her heart couldn't be suppressed suddenly. She had seen a lot of cruel things, but she still couldn't be numb. She was still angry and wanted to kill.
She tried her best to calm herself down a little, but her voice still revealed a bit of murderousness: "I'll take you out, no, I'll take you out, I'll do what I say."
"You can't do it!" The girl broke down and cried: "You can't do it...for a lifetime...we will be trapped here for the rest of our lives, given by a group of beasts..."
Xie Chi wanted to calm her down first, so he took a breath and asked, "Everyone here should be people who don't want to give in, right? It doesn't matter if I tell you, I came here because I was investigating something. Here, this button isn't a button, it's a camera."
"Is anyone watching? Don't make phone calls together, it's easy to get busy, so let's manage it, manage the police, but don't report to the local police, and then send the video from the live broadcast room."
This should appease the audience in the live broadcast room, as well as these girls.
There was a glimmer of light in the girl's eyes again, no one did not fantasize about leaving here, no one did not fantasize about going back home.
The girl who reacted the most was the girl who was only sixteen or seventeen. She suddenly got up, rushed towards Xie Chi like crazy, grabbed Xie Chi's clothes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Can I go home? I can Get out of here...I want to go home..."
"Okay." Xie Chi gently touched her head: "You are still young, and your belly is not very big. It doesn't matter if you get rid of it. Your life has just begun, how can you stop here."
She seemed to be comforted, fell into Xie Chi's arms, and began to cry.
The eldest girl stood up and glanced around for a week: "We can go home, all cheer up! Tell me what you know!"
Xie Chi soon learned that this cellar was built under the small lake in the center of the village, and that the only entrance to enter from the bamboo building was.
The girl who first spoke was Yue Feng's wife, so she knew the most and passed it all on through the live broadcast room.
But it should be almost night now. When the police arrive, Xie Chi should have solved the matter on the mountain god.
But this was just right. Xie Chi moved her wrists. The police came too quickly, but it was troublesome. There were some things she couldn't do well.
This village is full of live animals, just spending the rest of their lives in prison, isn't it too cheap for them?
Xie Chi rubbed the dumplings and whispered: "Someone may come in and take me away in a while, everyone calm down, don't show any incompatibility, wait here for rescue, okay?"
All the girls nodded, trying to keep calm, but they were still excited when they finally saw a glimmer of light.
About 20 minutes later, someone opened the door of the room, and two young people walked in, wanting to take Xie Chi out, probably to the mountain temple.
At this moment, a woman in the corner suddenly shouted heart-rendingly: "This woman has called the police! She has contacted the outside!"
