Chapter 171

"Hahaha!" Gu Yunlan laughs. Leaning on xuanyuanying, she points to him and laughs, "do you feel sick? Don't you feel sick to them? "

"That's two different things!" The general gave her a white look.

Xuanyuan should frown and continue to ask, "when did you find it wrong?"

"I haven't eaten here in 20 years. Although the food outside is terrible, sometimes I still eat the roots of trees, but it's better than short life!" The old man carefully looked around and took the three into a dark alley.

"What's the matter?" Gu Yunlan and his wife followed him curiously and looked at him strangely.

"You stand in the dark and look at the places where there used to be flowers!" The old man pointed mysteriously at the houses.

Gu Yunlan looked at the past in the direction he pointed out. Under the sun, she saw the shadow of a black man!

"Shadow! More of a ghost! " Xuanyuan should take Gu Yunlan into his arms and turn to look at the old man.

Gu Yunlan stares at the boss, ghost? Then she saw more than one

, but they seemed to be stuck, unable to move!

"Twenty years ago, after a bunch of flowers appeared in the town for no reason, more and more people in the town were dragged into the flowers by vines for the flowers to eat. Our field began to grow full of weeds, and flowers began to grow into the field!" The old man fell into memories.

"In half a year, half of the people in the town have gone. Even the land outside the town has become desert. There are not many oases. After becoming desert, the food of the whole town has become a problem. People outside the town have come in to take shelter. There are flowers in the field. Outside the town, there are deserts. The whole town is almost in famine. No one dares to come out during the day, only Come out at night! " The old man was a little emotional.

Seeing this, Gu Yunlan quickly took out a water bag and handed it to him.

The old man licked his thirsty lips and shook his hand! In the desert, water is the guarantee of life. Old people can't drink it! "

"Uncle! Take it! Let's pay for the story! " Xuanyuan should whisper.

"Good!" The old man took the water bag and continued, "until one day, I don't know who accidentally knocked down a flower with a bamboo pole, and then he was very hungry. He threw it into the water and boiled it. At that time, he also drank it with a will to die heart. Who knew that it was delicious? Later, he didn't know who passed it out. So, people in the whole town began to fight flowers at night to satisfy their hunger!"

"At that time, I had been helping people in the desert for more than half a year. It was evening when I came back. When I saw a lot of people in the field, I was curious and shouted a few times. Who knew that those people were still. I lost a stone and passed through them. I was scared and ran to the town!"

"At that time, there were no flowers and grass in our house, so I didn't find anything unusual at that time. I went back to my house and went to bed. I was going to go out of town the next morning to look for food. Who knows, the flowers in the field were in my eyes. At that time, the scenery was really beautiful! As like as two peas, I found the position of these flowers as I saw them last night. I didn't care! "

"I'm going to go out of the town and just walk to the town fence. Who knows that a cane stretches out to me. I'm scared and run quickly. I finally get rid of the tracking of the cane. I remember the story of flower eating people. Since then, I have an idea in my mind. Is flower human? These flowers are the dead, one flower for one! "

Gu Yunlan covers his mouth in surprise. "How many people are there in your town?"

"Forty or fifty thousand people at most, now less than two thousand!" The old man sighed.

"That's also true. There are only a lot more flowers!" Gu Yunlan nodded.

"Go on!" The general looked at the old man with interest.

"Although it's my suspicion, I dare not say it. I know no one will believe me. I have spent five years observing and finding that everyone who eats flowers can't live to be fifty years old! One more flower for each dead person, and I don't eat anything in town anymore! " The old man sighed.

"What's more bizarre is that no matter how many flowers they hit, there will still be a more colorful flower in that place the next day. Some people say it's more delicious!"

"OK! We didn't eat today! " Gu Yunlan clapped his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

But the generals were lying in one place and retching.

"Those flowers like to grow at the door most!" The old man spoke again in the dark.

"The door is full of Yang Qi. These things appear in flowers in the daytime to absorb Yang Qi. The more noon, the more colorful they come!" Xuanyuan should talk.

"You are careful in your observation, but you know these things well!" The old man looked at xuanyuanying admiringly, and his eyes fell on Gu Yunlan's voice. He said, "girl! The inn you live in is the only one in the town, and their widows' food is said to be the best in the town. Don't be greedy

"Uncle! Don't be greedy! " Gu Yunlan looked at the retched generals, right! She's gloating! ha-ha! She had long found something wrong.Xuanyuan should not look at her childish look, OK! He also wanted to laugh. He looked at the old man and asked, "uncle, as far as I know, ordinary people can't see those things. How can you see them?"

The old man seemed to know that Xuanyuan should be able to ask such a question, and said without a word, "when I was young, I often helped people carry things in the desert. It was taught by a customer. By the way, I opened my eyes, so now I can see these different things!"

"Crazy old man! What are you doing in the alley with three outsiders? You don't want to rob money, do you? Ha ha! " All of a sudden, three heads were sticking out of the alley. They looked at several people like laughing, said a few words, and ran away.

The old man slowly turned around and walked out, sighing, "you! Go to bed early tonight, close the doors and windows, and leave in the middle of the night! This is not for you! Alas! Thank you for the water! "

Gu Yunlan and Xuanyuan take a look at each other. She knows that the old man told her these things in order to repay a bag of water!

They say uncle is crazy? In fact, the crazy people in their whole town are the only ones who are awake!

Xuanyuan should take her out, ignoring the general who still vomited. He comforted her, "we'll leave tomorrow morning. These flowers won't hurt us!"

Gu Yunlan sips her mouth, and they walk on out of the alley. There are more people in the street, and the sky is dark. The figure of the old man has long disappeared.

She looked up at the door of every house again. Let alone, there were ghosts. There were more than one. As the sky darkened, the ghosts became clearer and clearer.

"Not afraid?" Xuanyuan asked softly.

"When you are around, you suddenly feel at ease and not afraid!" Gu Yunlan shook his head and snuggled into his arms. It was a bit cold. They would go back early tomorrow. Anyway, they are just a passer-by here!

Xuanyuanying's heart suddenly felt full, and she happily took Gu Yunlan and walked towards the place with bright lights.

Before we got there, we heard the bustle of gongs and drums, and a festive atmosphere was all around us.

Two people a corner walked past, the whole ghost market face appears in a straight line in Gu Yunlan's line of sight, in addition to eating is some weaving items, stone carving.

Gu Yunlan is interested in watching every place slowly. What do you say? Yes, every place has its own unique place. Although there is no other entertainment here, they can only be associated with stones. Each stone is carved with awe.

"Interested? Why don't you let uncle carve one for us? " Xuanyuan asked with a smile.

"Good!" Gu Yunlan's eyes are smiling. She also has this plan. It's a memorial for her trip to the desert! She picked up the only two white stones on the stall and said to the uncle who was carving, "uncle, can you help me to carve?"

The stall owner slowly raised his head, looked at the stones in the hands of the two people, and said directly, "one stone or two gold!"

Gu Yunlan is stunned. What a precious thing. Is the gold here used?

"Dong Dong!" When two golden things were thrown on the table, Xuanyuan said, "put our carvings on, and we will wait here!"

"Sit down, please!" The stall owner beckoned the two people to sit on the bench in front of the stall. When the two people were seated, they carefully looked at the two people and asked, "are the two carved together? Or one stone by one? "

"Well It's better to be alone and stone by stone! " Gu Yunlan thought for a moment and looked at the stall owner expectantly.

The stall owner nodded, then lowered his head, picked up the stone, and the hand was running fast. His hand was very accurate, almost every knife was cut very accurately. The stone was like tofu in his hand, and he was allowed to carve it. The time was about a quarter of an hour, and Gu Yunlan's model came out.

Gu Yunlan's eyes widened. I have to say that this technology is really unique!

"Do you want to engrave?" The stall owner kept scraping.

"Yes! Any word will do! " Gu Yunlan nodded.

A few minutes later, Gu Yunlan took the sculpture in her hand and was shocked. She sat on the stone gracefully, beautiful!

Xuanyuan should be a stone carving that has been snatched from her hand quickly put away, "give me this! Uncle, here you are! "

"How could you be like that? Give me mine! " Gu Yunlan immediately returned to his mind and glared at him, robber!

Half an hour later, Gu Yunlan helplessly put the statue in the storage bag and plundered it. There was no way!

She waved xuanyuanying's hand and stood up. She was angry. Hum!

"Wow! There's a lion dancing over there! Come and have a look! " Suddenly a man shouted.

Then a large crowd of people crowded towards that side.

"Eh! Really! There's a trick! "

"Let's go!"

A crowd, Gu Yunlan just got up, the crowd crowded over, also don't know who pushed her, she a center is not stable, towards the carving spread out, a hand quickly pull her, a pull into the arms!

"Let go of me! You cheat! " Gu Yunlan's face turned red and he said softly."Ah! Dead! " The crowd did not know who was shouting.
