Pure dust, my favorite is infinite

Chapter 8 The Goatman's Secret 【8】

All Meat Dinner

The surrounding fog was rushing, and this kind of blasted fog surrounded every trail. It was already difficult to see clearly if it was more than ten meters away, and there were many tall trees and green plants around.

Not far from the exit of the town, there is a huge yellow fruit tree with a hollow trunk that can accommodate two or three people.

Maybe it was bad luck, there was still a light rain in the sky, and the rain and fog made the air damp and cold, and even made my heart feel cold.

Ying Wu and the others are staying in the tree trunk to hide from the rain. They have tried different paths, but the strange thing is that no matter which path they choose, they will always return to this starting point...

"How do we get out of this shitty place? What the hell!" Ying Wu glanced towards the entrance of the town, "If we go back like this, that kid Shen Gong will definitely laugh at us for wasting our efforts! He really is getting better and better. Don't think of us as friends anymore."

"Yeah, I also feel that although he looks the same as before, he really doesn't think much of us." The man with glasses echoed.

It can be heard from Ying Wu's words that he still cares about Shen Gong's reluctance to leave the town with them. After all, Jing Chen met later, but Shen Gong has known each other for many years.

Trapped here now going round and round will only make them look extraordinarily stupid.

Peng Yun's eyes flicked around among the other two, and she whispered: "You said... it's not really a ghost hitting the wall, right?"

"How is it possible, there are no ghosts in this world!" Ying Wu didn't wait for the man with glasses to speak first, and he had already directly denied it.

No one spoke for a while, it was chilly.

The man with glasses didn't seem to be able to waste time like this, so he suggested: "It seems that if the fog doesn't clear up, you'll always get lost, why don't we... let's go back first?"

If we go back now, it's still early, we left in the morning, and it's still not dark yet.

Ying Wu is the undisclosed leader among the three, and he has always been the most assertive one. He definitely doesn't want to go back.

The reason is not entirely because of worrying about Shen Gong's ridicule, and the injured old woman...

But now there seems to be no other countermeasure, the only way is to go back, otherwise can I stay here overnight?If you don't freeze to death, you may encounter monsters.

After some consideration, Ying Wu made a decision, and at the same time told: "Okay, let's go back, but after we go back, you can't reveal the matter between me and the crazy old woman. Just insist that the old woman fell by herself. Just don’t know, remember?”

Under the clenched fist of the strong man, the man with glasses nodded his head in agreement.

Peng Yun still seemed a little hesitant and remained silent.

Their legs were already weak, and the three of them who had regained their physical strength carried their bags and walked towards the mayor's house in the town.

It really was a waste of effort.

When the doctor treated the old lady's wound, it was almost dusk, and it would be dark soon.

"The trauma has been dealt with, but fortunately there is no fracture, but after going back, I still need to rest." Dr. Huang said while packing the medicine into a bag.

He said again with his huge black eyes: "I can't get hurt anymore."

Although he said so, he didn't ask the reason carefully, he just looked at the old lady with a deep meaning in his eyes.

The old woman, who had always given the impression of being insane, became extremely quiet at this time. Her forehead was covered with gauze, and she looked distressed and sad.

Even when Jingchen picked her up again, he whispered a thank you.

When there were only doctors in the clinic, he straightened his cuffs and walked towards the lamb who was still bound.

Picking up the scalpel on one side, he gestured on the lamb like a simulation, with a warm smile on his face: "It will hurt a little, but you need to bear it."

The tears in the corners of the little lamb's eyes flowed more fiercely, and the eyeballs also seemed to bulge abnormally while the eye sockets were widened.

There was a sudden violent animal roar in the clinic.

After one sound came out, there were also sheep calls one after another in other places, which did not stop for a long time.

At dinner time, the doors of the local people on the street were all closed, no one paid attention to them, and those disturbing sights naturally disappeared.

Jingchen looked up at the sky, and didn't know what happened to the group of people who left the town, and felt a bad premonition in his heart.

He noticed that the breathing of the person lying on his back was a little weak, and the hands holding the person's legs dragged the person who had slipped slightly up, and asked softly, "Are you feeling alright?"

The old lady’s cloudy eyeballs also looked up at the sky, and her gaze slowly moved down, noticing the smoke from the chimney of the mayor’s house, and she said something unclear to herself:

"Y-I'm still back, why, why..."

It took Jingchen some time to hear what the other party was muttering.

Walking in front of the two, the man dressed in pure black had a straight back, and walked forward silently with long-legged strides.

It was getting closer and closer to the mayor's house.

Just because of what the old lady said, all the strange things before can make sense:

The bowl of porridge spilled by Ying Wu on the dinner table; the sound of hoofbeats lingering on the wooden floor of the corridor in the early morning; the old lady pretending to be a monster in front of the bathroom.

In addition to what the old lady said now, all signs show that the old lady is not crazy!

She just regarded Ying Wu as their leader and drove them away in this way!

Jingchen tilted his head slightly, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his side face, looked back at the old lady, and said softly, "Do you know something, then how should we get out of here?"

The old lady didn't answer, she just put more strength on the hand holding his shoulder, as if her five withered fingers sank into the red-stained monk's robe.

Jingchen, who didn't wait for the answer, almost thought that she was unwilling to answer. When she was about to arrive at the mayor's house, a weak voice came from behind.

"Remember to come back to me after you go to the library. There is one thing that can help you leave, and... thank you."

The voice was very small, so small that it almost made people feel that it was just an auditory hallucination. After finishing these words, the old lady fell silent and stopped talking. Now is not the right time for a deep talk.

Shen Gong in front has already stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the mayor's house, which is very close at hand.

Jingchen shifted his gaze to the front again, he knew this was a very important clue, and the smile on his rosy lips deepened a lot.

Is the library...

When passing the yard, Jingchen paid more attention to the sheep. If you don't look carefully, it is no different from the first time you saw them.

But Jingchen still found out that the only pregnant ewe in the corner behaved differently from the other sheep, and stayed there for a long time without moving.

It was as if it was dead, but the tears that suddenly fell from the corners of its eyes showed that it was still alive...

Moreover, the bulge of the abdomen didn't seem to be as big as what Jing Chen remembered, it was a little smaller.

It was the sound of the door being pushed open that caught his attention.

The mayor was standing at the door.

The old man was still smiling and kindly like before. He stroked his beard and stepped aside, "Come in, where have you all been?"

Jing Chen's eyes turned around the old man, but he did not find the other three people behind him, and looked back with lowered eyes.

"The old lady is injured, let's take her to see a doctor." Jing Chen still carried the old lady behind his back.

Because of his words, the mayor came over from the door and took over from Jingchen.

Turning their backs to the old lady and heading towards the bedroom, they reminded: "Hurry up and have dinner, your friends are already starving and starting to eat."

The old man didn't ask how the old lady was injured, and he walked steadily while carrying the person on his back, and seemed to be effortless. From this, it can be seen that he is old and strong.

The old man didn't ask too many questions, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

After the figures of the two old men disappeared, Jing Chen and Shen Gong walked towards the restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Peng Yun and the man with glasses, who had left before, were sitting on the seats and eating. From the bag on the side, it can be seen that they haven't been back for a long time, and their things haven't been packed yet.

Their arrival didn't let the two of them realize that they were so absorbed in eating that even such an obvious movement couldn't make them stop their chopsticks.

After Jingchen saw the things on the table clearly, he frowned...

For the first time, meat was put on the table that had always been vegetarian, and there was not even a trace of green, it was all meat.

About a dozen plates of meat were placed on the table, leaving no room for the table, which was crowded and varied.

There are various methods, braised in brown sauce, made into soup, steamed... It looks good just from the appearance, and there is a faint smell of meat from the tip of the nose, which can easily arouse people's appetite.

But it doesn't have the slightest smell of goat. It can be confirmed that this is definitely not mutton.

The man with glasses saw that Jing Chen sat down but did not move his chopsticks, his mouth was full of oil stains, and his speech was slurred because of the food in his mouth: "Eat it quickly, this is the pork that the mayor bought from someone else's house today, it tastes very good! "

When he spoke, there was a strong light in his eyes, obviously quite satisfied, and he continued to work hard after saying this sentence.

Jing Chen clasped his hands together, and silently recited Amitabha Buddha in his heart. He didn't touch meat, let alone this meat that suddenly appeared on the dining table.

Just sitting here, he is like two starving ghosts in two worlds, he said slowly: "Did Ying Wu apologize to the mayor about the old lady?"

When we met just now, the mayor didn't post a message, so it must be that Ying Wu and the others had already explained it, and the other party knew clearly so they didn't ask him anything.

Relatively speaking, Peng Yun is a little gentler, but only a little bit, and her behavior and posture are not much different from the man with glasses.

After swallowing a piece of meatball, she answered Jing Chen's words: "That... the old lady fell and injured herself, so Ying Wu doesn't need to apologize, right?"

……

Although they didn't say it clearly, this sentence also let Jingchen know that they chose to lie and deceive in the end, trying to get away with the mayor in this way.

Even Shen Gong, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, looked sideways because of Peng Yun's words, and seemed to casually pick up a piece of meat with the chopsticks in front of him, with a smile on his pale lips.

Shen Gong, who rarely spoke, opened his lips: "Walking around, I didn't see any pigs in this town. By the way, where is Ying Wu?"

He seemed to ask a question casually, and after he finished speaking, he threw the meat in his hand and the chopsticks to the ground in disgust.

The two people who were still feasting stopped because of his words, and it seemed that they realized that the person who had disappeared for a long time was no longer there.

In the end, it was Peng Yun who spoke first: "He, he was called to talk before, but the mayor later said that we should eat first."

"Is there... is there something wrong?"
