"Are you sure you didn't say anything wrong just now? That Yueqiong, is she really 82 years old?" Zhao Yuan couldn't help asking again.

The old drunkard was very satisfied with his shocked expression, "Why should I lie to you?"

Zhao Yuan was completely shocked. He could open his mouth and swallow a sun. It made people want to help him put back the jaw that was about to fall on the ground... God, I am not dreaming, he At this moment, I really want to pour a glass of water or wine, anything as long as I can take a sip immediately to calm my shock.

He lowered his head and found a clean-looking cup among a pile of messy dishes. He poured a full amount of spirits into it, and when it was held in the air, some of it spilled out and fell on the white sleeve. But he couldn't be so scruples anymore, he raised his head and poured it down his throat violently, the strong alcohol made his stomach tremble and rushed straight to his brain, finally he recovered.

Sober up, he began to quickly think about the irrationality in what the old drunkard said. After thinking like this, he suddenly felt full of loopholes. He couldn't help laughing at how he was so helpless just now, and he could even believe such a silly joke. This old bastard, for the sake of It's really possible to tell all kinds of nonsense about cheating money.

"If everything you just said is true, why is she still looking young and beautiful without showing signs of aging? Logically speaking, at the age of 82, she should have gray hair, wrinkled skin, and lost all her teeth. Yes, I have observed her appearance at close range many times before, her skin is as white and translucent as an egg that has been peeled off its shell, and her hands are slender and slender, as if they have not been touched by spring water. It’s a real face, it’s impossible to wear a human face mask.”

"If it is true as you said, she is an 82-year-old woman, hehe, then I am still a baby in my belly who has not been born in the world yet. Your statement is simply absurd!"

The old drunkard calmly said, "There are so many wonders in the world, I can't help feeling strange, aren't you people who practice martial arts amazing enough? Not only can you fly over the walls and smash people's heads with your palm, but you can also bend pig iron with your hands , I feel that this incident is really nothing compared to your amazing and unbelievable deeds."

"..." Zhao Yuan had nothing to say for a while. Fuck, what he said was quite reasonable. In retrospect, he relied on the knowledge in the ancestral books when he was saving lives. I can't help but feel a little guilty about the fact that my work was not affected at all, well...it sounds a little abnormal...

"But one size counts for one size. Although those of us who practice martial arts can not only fly over the walls and smash people's heads with one palm, but also bend pig iron with both hands, because of our internal strength and mentality, our appearance is much younger than ordinary people, but we can only be about the same. Compared with the age, and the 82-year-old woman looks like she is in her 20s, this...is this comparable?"

The old drunkard waved his hands indifferently, and he seemed to have opened up a chatterbox when he spoke in a set manner. He was more than twice as articulate, and even had a hint of arrogance.

This appearance made Zhao Yuan inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen such a scene before, but his vision was too faint to make him remember it all at once, so he could only frown and let the familiar feeling sink into his heart up.

"Hey, this is because you are ignorant. There are many ways to make a person stay young forever in the world, but they are hidden deep and unknown. You said that you have been practicing medicine for many years and you must have heard of one or two of them. What's the matter? Weird."

Zhao Yuan questioned: "I know that there are indeed ways to make people beautiful for a long time in the world, but it is not such an exaggeration. It is said that after practicing a kind of martial arts, they can live for more than 100 years like Qin Shi and still be young forever. I can barely believe it, but she is simply an ordinary person with no internal strength!"

"..." Qin Shi, whose name was called here, couldn't help but feel ashamed. Although he has become accustomed to the misunderstanding that people in the Jianghu insist on insisting on what they say... But at first glance, he still feels that he is described as a strange species , I really want to argue that it is not a normal person to be a hundred years old and stay young forever, okay?

"Neither wearing a human face mask nor practicing martial arts, you are telling me what method she used, and there is no cause and effect. Isn't this obviously talking nonsense to us? Or do you think we look like two good friends? You fool?" Zhao Yuan was always in deep doubt.

The old drunkard's eyes narrowed, and the light of the candles in the shop gradually dimmed, reflecting his face shaking.

The cold wind from outside the gate blew in, and the dead brown leaves fell on the bottom of their feet, making a rustling sound, but no one paid attention.

"... I wonder if the two of you have heard of the ghost myth of Dongpu, which is far away from the Central Plains?"

"What the hell is that?" Zhao Yuan is not good at telling those myths and stories, and he doesn't know anything about the gossip about this male god and that goddess. He is a medical student, not a professional dancing master or a preacher. It was very strange, the expression on his face was not very happy, obviously he felt that the old drunkard was perfunctory them.

The old drunkard ignored his mood at this moment, and continued to tell stories he had heard from somewhere. Qin Shi was rarely interested, and he could tell something interesting by watching him by the candlelight.

"It is said that in their sea area, there is a kind of ugly creature with a human-like upper body and a bird's beak, and a fish-tailed lower body. They call them mermaids."

Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it the mermaid in the ancient mythology of the Central Plains? Dongying didn't do a good job in transplanting. What is it that is ugly?"

The old drunkard immediately retorted: "No, no, no, mermaids are different from mermaids. Mermaids have a beautiful appearance and can make merman's silk that is not wet in the water. When they cry, their tears will turn into pearls. Once the oil on their bodies is burned, they can last 1 years. These are things that mermaids don’t have, but the only thing that mermaids can use is that hundreds of sharks are incomparable, that is, as long as humans eat a piece of mermaid’s flesh, they can live forever! The appearance will always be the same. The day when you eat mermaid meat!"

"Are you going to tell me..." Zhao Yuan was full of doubts, "The reason why Yueqiong has been beautiful and young is because she ate mermaid meat from Japan? If so, then I can only diagnose you here."

He nodded his head with his fingers, "There is a problem. Although we Jianghu people are quite unscientific in flying over the roof and smashing people's heads, and bending pig iron with both hands, they are not as good as you! Mermaid What is completely divorced from reality, do you think I will believe this nonsense? In fact, you are here to cheat me of money! Liar, return my money!"

The old drunkard was so frightened that he quickly covered his pockets, fearing that the duck would fly away, he got up from the chair and took a few steps back, reaching out his hand to prevent Zhao Yuan from coming to grab the money.

"Oh, don't worry, I didn't say that Yueqiong ate mermaid meat, I just used an analogy, because I was afraid that if I suddenly told you the truth, I wouldn't be able to accept it all at once."

Zhao Yuan slapped the table and said impatiently, "Do I look like a chicken? Don't dawdle, just say it."

The old drunkard was afraid of making Zhao Yuan unhappy, so he would slip away the 100 taels silver note he got earlier, and he didn't dare to let it go.

"I'll say it right away! Yueqiong's food is not mermaid meat, but it almost makes her immortal, and that thing is the fetus in the belly of a pregnant woman who is about to take shape within three months."

"...What?!" Zhao Yuan turned pale with shock, he couldn't believe what he heard in his ears and asked again, "...you are...you mean, she stays young forever for her appearance , are... are you eating the fast-forming fetus?"

The old drunkard said categorically: "That's right, and more than once, and then she had to eat it almost every few months, otherwise her skin would quickly relax and become old and wrinkled, and it would be less than a year." Was beaten back to its original shape."

Zhao Yuan was so shocked that he muttered to himself: "This... How is this possible... How could someone be so mad that they would eat... eat..."

The old drunkard said: "Don't believe it. Didn't you say that you have observed her at close range many times before? Then you should have smelled something from her, isn't there a faint smell that looks like rotten meat?" ?”

Zhao Yuan's face turned paler in an instant, apparently recalling some very bad picture, the old drunkard knew he had recalled it when he saw him like this, he snorted proudly and said with a smile: "That old woman cares about her most The face is so ugly, the fetus needs to be chopped with a knife when it is in the hand, and it is the most favorite to make dumpling stuffing. According to her, it will not waste a single drop of the most locked-in essence when cooked in this way. There was a faint smell of rotting meat..."

"Stop talking!" Zhao Yuan covered his mouth, feeling nauseated in his stomach. He never thought that what the old drunkard said would be such a way to destroy humanity. Whether it is true or not, such behavior violates the bottom line of morality. stench!Thinking of that cruel scene, I couldn't help but want to retch, barely stopped the nausea in my heart and asked: "...You said, she has to eat more than once, almost every few months, so such a large amount Where did it come from?"

The old drunkard recalled: "At the beginning, she was afraid of being found out, so she only ate her own food. Later, when she got older and couldn't get pregnant, she began to think about other people's stomachs, and she specifically picked out those women in the brothel who had to get rid of them when they got pregnant. Women, pretend to be women who do this job and steal the meat from their stomachs, and if someone finds out that something is wrong, they will pay a lot of money to gag and no one will be held accountable."

Zhao Yuan said angrily: "As her husband, watching your wife do such inhumane things, don't you have a little conscience? Why don't you stop it!"

"She loves to eat those things, what can I do, besides, it's not against the law..." The old drunkard muttered in a low voice with an aggrieved expression on his face, "Besides, if she is old and decrepit, how can I rely on her?" Make a lot of money."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan immediately grabbed the old drunkard's collar and said angrily, "Why do you rely on her to make a lot of money? What did you couple do before!"

"No, no, we are all good citizens and we have never done anything wrong. The world can learn from it!" The old drunkard was frightened by the sudden anger of Zhao Yuan, and realized that he had slipped his tongue and hurriedly shook his head and shouted.

Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Unless you are blind, ghosts will believe you! Tell me the truth, otherwise... I'll chop off the thing under you and make wine!"

The old drunkard was terrified, but he still didn't dare to speak out, so he said stiffly: "...Really not, you really think too much."

"Okay, it seems that you won't cry when you see the coffin, do you want to cut it horizontally or vertically?" Zhao Yuan sneered without joking, gesticulating with a dagger at the old drunkard's crotch. , so frightened that the old drunkard dared to speak hard and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Master... Lord, please spare me! Don't, I said, I said everything, I have been cheating with that old woman, I came to matchmaking, she used her beauty to confuse a married man and then threatened to kill this disgraceful man When the matter is publicized, most people think about it for their own sake, and we often use it to earn money to live."

Zhao Yuan continued to ask: "Then why did you break up with Yueqiong?"

The old drunkard's eyes suddenly became extremely vicious, and he wanted to grind his teeth, "...Isn't it because of that old eighth woman who greedily wanted to fly on a branch and become a phoenix after meeting the Prince of Beigong by chance? Seeing that I am old enough to be someone else's grandmother, let alone the disgusting thing, I want to break up with me in retrospect, oh, fuck her! She buys gold and silver jewelry, clothes, shoes, perfume and rouge. It wasn't my money that was spent? If you have a new lover, you want to pack up and leave, there is no way!"

Zhao Yuan said: "But she has become the new wife of Prince Beigong."

He said bitterly: "That's because I never expected that she would dare to kill and want to kill in order to achieve her goal. In the middle of the night that night, she was drugged and drunk. The pig-killing boning knife came over and stabbed my heart, if it wasn't for the quick reaction, she would have stabbed me to death."

As he spoke, he lifted up his shirt, and there was a large deep knife mark on his stomach, "This is the wound left by the knife when it slipped down that day. If it was a few inches deeper, my stomach would be ripped apart. I ran away from the door. It was raining heavily, and she hid in a bullock cart with haystacks in an alley. The blood on the ground was washed away by the rain. She walked around outside with a boning knife and finally left after a long time. Escaped and survived."

The more he said, the more sinister his eyes became, "Since then, I have been hiding in fear of being discovered by her, and my life is miserable. I heard that she married into the prince of Beigong and became his wife, and I hated it even more. Tickle wished to tear off that face on the spot, but who would believe an old beggar! Now the opportunity has finally come, I want revenge, I want her to die now!"
