"Don't you know who I am? I'm your maid," the man sat across from him with a grin. "Your mother has already admitted our relationship, so why are you embarrassed?"

Although the man smiled and bent his peach blossom eyes, but there was no trace of warmth in the eyes, and the eyes looking at him seemed to be black and white, not like looking at a living thing.

"You really are him, we just met in the underworld, you don't know me?" Tao Shanze said seriously, his whole body tensed up, once he took any action against himself, he could run out immediately, or fight him to the death , although there are many unusual places in this world, he is not even afraid of life and death, and he is afraid of fighting.

"Of course I know you, not only in Hell, but also on New Year's Eve in 2020. Have you forgotten?" The man smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said coquettishly, "Handsome guy."

Boom——like thousands of muddy horses rushing past, Tao Shanze completely remembered that it was the extremely beautiful woman on New Year's Eve, with a pair of fox eyes that made people drunk, but he was never interested in women, so he didn't think too much about it. gaze.

But what he said had a magical power that pulled him into the torment of illness. He couldn't forget that in 2020 he was a life that could wither at any time.

"what on earth is it?"

The man chuckled, "Welcome to my world."

The man stood up, the soul was stripped from the woman's body, the woman was mourning on the chair, the man stood proudly in front of him, wearing a neat white robe, his hair was fixed with wooden hairpins, and the wind and snow flowed along the crack of the door Invasion, his hair swaying slightly, his thin lips are slightly faded, the end of his eyes is narrowed, and his smile is like a tree of peach blossoms.

"Remember when I told you that the questionnaire I filled out was about Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, and that I would send the book to your home, because you are now in the book, you and I are both characters in the book, and only by finding You can leave here for the characters you used to be and go back to your materialistic world." The man jokingly laughed, and ice sprang up wherever he passed, and the window grilles covered all the window lattices in the house. With him at the center, the frost was getting worse and worse. thicker.

It seemed that the frost and cold were about to spread to Tao Shanze. He widened his eyes, and the cold air hit his face. He controlled the trembling of his body and said, "Why should I go back to my materialistic world?"

The man was taken aback, Tao Shanze continued: "As long as you can live, it's not the same in any world."

The man chuckled, "Well, that's right, if you don't go back for a month, you will be surprised to find that the hospital has issued a death notice for you, so you don't have to go back at all, but in this world, you have nothing but eyes that can see ghosts. What else?" He curled his fingers into a lotus shape, like a screen projection, on which he saw himself lying on the hospital bed, and the pulse machine next to him showed his current vital signs, "However, let me tell you, if If you can successfully get out of this world, you can be discharged from the hospital, and then you will be a miracle in the hospital."

Tao Shanze was startled, and habitually touched his chest, which was the source of the pain. Of course he wanted to live and be healthy, and he was even more afraid of being given a death notice as he said, but he still asked vigilantly: "How can I trust you?"

"Do you still need me to tell you? Your eyes, this world and your body, which one has not told you clearly." The man sneered, sat down and reunited with the maid's body|body.

Tao Shanze looked at the scene that was completely unscientific, and he believed it no matter how stupid he was, "What should I do?" He pressed his chest, and he could feel the heat of the pen there.

"To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it. If you go to the book of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio at your house now, you will probably find that many pages are missing in it. The number of pages that are missing is what you are about to experience, so if you can Find the missing pages in this world and you can go back."

A pure white frost lotus rose from his palm, reflecting his eyes dimly. There was a bamboo slip in the lotus flower, "Similarly, the more you experience, the longer you will live, directly rewriting the book of life and death."

The frost stopped abruptly when it was about to freeze Tao Shanze into ice, but Tao Shanze's hair was inevitably stiff and frozen with the bed, the man's eyes fluttered, and a pair of fox eyes slightly raised to stare at him, "but say Get up, I have invited many people to my world before, but they did very badly, so I ate them all, if you can't find the pages back, I believe, your meat quality will be better than theirs There are many."

"This is a race for life. If you find the pages, you will accumulate vitality for me. If you can't find you, it will be my food." The man's stomach groaned very well, "Look, I'm hungry."

Tao Shanze took a breath, pulled his hair, but was firmly nailed to the bed, "Okay, you get me up, and I'll cook for you."

The man raised his eyebrows, couldn't help smiling and said, "You're still the first one who wants to cook for me."

As soon as the words fell, the frosty cold in the room began to fade from Tao Shanze's angle. The cold air in the room before seemed to be an illusion, but there was no warmth at all.

Tao Shanze got up from the bed, grabbed a cloak, took a deep breath, squinted at him, his hands trembled slightly, although he didn't know if what he said was true or not, but what happened in front of him was true, he had to gamble, " You wait."

In the dining room of Li's mansion, a group of servants stood outside the room, and they stretched their necks to look into the room. One of the old men stroked his beard and said, "What's the matter, young master? He hasn't even boiled water since he was a child, and now he doesn't know how to clean the dining room." It's burned."

"This young master won't let us in, what if he burns himself?"

"Why don't you tell Madam, the young master can't be hurt any more."

It was freezing cold outside, but no one wanted to go back to the house. They stared nervously inside the house, for fear that Li Zhu'er would accidentally burn the dining room down.

But soon, a strong smell of rice mixed with sweetness came from inside, and the smell of meat came one after another. Everyone's eyes widened, and they sniffed the smell fiercely, "When do you think the young master will understand?" The way of cooking?"

"How does the old man know, but the young master is quite surprising since he is no longer stupid."

"Are you sure that the young master's body is the young master's soul and not someone else?" said a dwarf in the crowd who was burning the kitchen.

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were silent.

It was the same old man who slapped him, "Stop talking nonsense, little brat, and do your own thing."

Until Tao Shanze came out holding a food box and saw a group of people surrounding the dining room, "What's wrong with you?"

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Dongpo pork, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, honey bitter gourd, red bean rice, there is still left in the pot, you can eat it." Tao Shanze smiled faintly, and left with the food box.

As a person who lives alone, the necessary skill in life is cooking. You can eat takeout or something, but eating it every day is not only unhygienic but also a waste of money. He is a working-class worker. He only cooks instant noodles at the beginning, and later he followed some kitchen apps. He has learned a lot of skills, perhaps because of his extraordinary talent, the food he cooks is also very delicious.

But after he fell ill, he almost never went into the kitchen, nor did he cook a decent meal for himself, as long as he swallowed food, it was torture for him.

But it is different now, he just took a sip, the sticky red bean rice completely captured his taste buds, even drinking the rice porridge soup is a kind of happiness, this kind of ordinary people can easily get it, but he needs it Happiness is hard work.

The man was sitting in the room with his legs crossed and waiting for him. The maid was still unconscious. The man was dressed in white and was spotless, but his eyes were stained with peach blossoms. of."

After all, he took the food box and was taken aback when he opened it. The aroma was overflowing. The Dongpo meat was cut evenly and neatly stacked on the plate. The green color of bitter gourd, the food box is a gourmet appreciation.

The man couldn't wait to take out his chopsticks and ate a piece of meat. The meat was delicate and juicy, it locked in moisture greatly, but it was not greasy at all. He took three bites before raising his head to look at him. The teasing eyes just disappeared. And some admired, "Hey, you did all of these?"

"Yeah." Tao Shanze nodded, and just as he picked up a piece of Dongpo meat with his chopsticks, the man held down his wrist, "Sorry, I'm not used to eating with others, I'll serve you a bowl."

Tao Shanze is not particular about it, and he eats honestly with what he has served for himself. Such long-lost food is a kind of gift to him. Even if he comes to Liaozhai, he feels the great fortune in his life.

The sun was tilting, the two of them ate cleanly, and the man was even more satisfied. In the end, there was no soup left, and a red bean fell on the outside of the bowl, so he picked it up and ate it.

"Speaking of which, I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Chi Mei," he leaned back on the chair very comfortably, and hiccupped, "For the sake of your delicious cooking, I'll give you a stuff, and whenever you come across something unspeakable, you use this."

With a fingertip, a palm print was formed, and a spell appeared from it, glowing with a faint blue.

"This is the spiritual knot, you put it on your chest in case you need it."

"Thank you," Tao Shanze put him in his arms, "Can I ask a question?"

"Well, you ask." Chi Mei leaned back, squinted his eyes slightly, and picked his long and narrow hair with knuckle fingers. His demeanor was like that of a girl in a flower building. The shadow of the beautiful girl overlaps.

"Are you human?" Tao Shanze asked calmly. Ever since he knew that this is Liaozhai, he had already made mental preparations, imagined all the fox ghosts and ghosts in his mind, and finally found that he could accept it.

"Guess what," Chi Mei laughed, "Tao Shanze, you don't have much time left, your Li Zhu'er's body is proficient in yin and yang eyes, and it has already been revealed, counting the days, the scourge will come soon , it depends on whether you can find the pages of the book before God punishes you."

With a flash of his figure, the white clothes suddenly disappeared, but the servant girl who had been leaning on the chair came to life, and said respectfully to the young master. At the same time, the carved wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and Li Hua walked in and said: "Zhu'er, since you have regained your sanity, you should also take care of your own property for father. There is a pawn shop in Lingzhou City that collects rent. You set off today and come back tomorrow morning after collecting the rent."

"Yes, father." Tao Shanze cupped his hands, the spiritual knot in his chest was hot.

At dusk, he arrived at Lingzhou, and his "servant" came with him.

It stands to reason that at this time, the shops on the street should be bustlingly open, but at this time the street is empty and there is no one there, the cold wind howling, icy cold, like an empty city.

Along the way, he had already heard that Lingzhou City was haunted by ghosts before, but a monk came here. worse.

"Why, seeing that I'm not as happy as expected?" Chi Mei sat on the wooden chair and looked up at him who was standing.

At this hour, it is no longer possible to collect rent, so it can only be scheduled for tomorrow morning. This is the first night that Tao Shanze has experienced in this world. The unknown man is a little flustered. Compared with ghosts, he feels that the man in front of him seems to be more Be more reliable.

Tao Shanze said: "Let's go find an inn first. I'm sure we won't be able to collect the rent today. Let's go again tomorrow morning. I've already asked about the exact location. Turn left and turn to the third shop."

Chi Mei burst out laughing, he has a strange sense of harmony, if he doesn't smile, his face is frosty, his face is so cold that no one should enter, but when he smiles, he falls from the world of gods to the world , although Tao Shanze knows that he may also be a big monster, and it is very likely that he is more terrifying than other ghosts, but once he says that he will meet him in Times Square in 2020, the distance will be shortened at once, and Tao Shanze can accept it Such a person who is not a human being or lives in another world.

"What are you laughing at?" As night fell, a gust of cold air hit his face, making him shiver, and he felt that the rumors about Lingzhou City were true.

"I'm just laughing. Since you know this is Liaozhai, why don't you do it during the day and spend the night instead? You know what will happen tonight, so you're unscrupulous?" Then he licked his upper teeth, raised the corners of his eyes, "But it's okay, if you die tonight, I will definitely eat you first. I have already set my sights on your neck. It must be tender and juicy when you bite it, with blood gushing out, and the blood vessels in it still have a sense of muscle. "

Tao Shanze couldn't help backing away, he couldn't show his cowardice, he told himself clearly that this man was just talking, if he had eaten it earlier, he couldn't be intimidated by him.

"Well, I know, I'll be careful."

The city of Lingzhou is small, and there are only three inns before and after. Two of them are closed, and the doors are closed from door to door. It is impossible to find a single complaint, so the last inn on the edge of the city is locked.

It stands to reason that the inn is full of bright red lanterns, but the lanterns in his house are all faded, and there is a lot of residual snow on the white and gray lanterns. The door is dilapidated and the wooden shelves are crumbling. It's hard to believe that this is an open inn. When the two entered the room, the owner was obviously taken aback, "Are you here to stay?"

Tao Shanze nodded, "Yes." While speaking, he looked around the room. There was obviously a lot of dust in the room. The boss's abacus beads were all stuck together, the floor was stained, and the wooden stairs had many wormholes. It was very quiet, and it seemed that no one was staying.

This is not a black shop.

The boss shook his head again and again, "I'm sorry, guest officer, our hotel is full, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in today, why don't you choose another hotel?"

The cold wind howled, and a strong wind blew in. The door downstairs of the inn slammed, and there was no one in there, and there was no sound even upstairs. Is it full?Tao Shanze was terrified for a moment, his eyes hurt, and he saw a woman leaning on the stairs, but only for a moment, then disappeared.

He looked at the boss again. He didn't notice it before, but now he looked carefully, and he could see the clue. His face hung loosely on his head, and he didn't look like a human at all, but he shook his head and talked to him without malice.

Thinking of what Chi Mei said, if there are really ghosts tonight, having a foothold is better than nothing.

"Boss, we don't choose a place, just give us a room to live in." Tao Shanze said.

He obviously saw Chi Mei raising his eyebrows, "That's right, I'm Tong|fang maid and should live with you."
