Looking at the ghost who was fighting with the boss, I couldn't help but say to Little Tang Wei: "You really have a good understanding of a man's heart."
Little Tang Wei said complacently: "Of course. Otherwise, how can I trick you with my Immortal Jump? " At this point, she quickly covered her mouth and said to me, "I've lied to other men, but I've never lied to you."
I bitterly smiled. "I know that you're lying to me."
Little Tang Wei snickered and said, "When you're with me, you'll know if I'm lying to you or not. And at that time … Even if you knew that I was lying to you, you wouldn't be willing to leave me. "
I took her hand away from my chest, coughed and said, "Boss is the most complete crime here. Logically speaking, he also has a lustful heart and should have been merciful towards women. Why did he disguise you as a sheep and hang you up here?"
The Little Tang Wei sighed and said, "This is because among his evil thoughts, there are some that are more important than lust. As for what it is, I still don't know. "
By the time we spoke, their fight was coming to an end. Those pitiful souls were all knocked to the ground by the boss, while the boss himself was heavily injured, lying on the ground gasping for breath.
Little Tang Wei and I walked towards them. The boss stared at us and said, "You..." Don't go, I want... To... I'll kill you all. "
Little Tang Wei bent down and said to the boss, "I'll give you three seconds. If I don't retaliate, and you can't kill me, I'll leave."
The boss wanted to kill someone, but he couldn't move at all now. Then he fainted, and I felt like he was going to faint.
Little Tang Wei spat at the owner's face and then kicked him.
I said to the Little Tang Wei: "Alright, although the boss is severely injured, it is not hard to recover from it. Let's tie him up. "
The Little Tang Wei replied and asked again, "You're not going to kill him now?"
I hesitated for a moment as I held the dagger in my hand. Then, I shook my head. We can't kill him so easily. "
I was looking for something to tie up the boss when he woke up. He opened his eyes, gave us a cold smile, and with a plop, his soul vanished.
My eyes widened, and for a few seconds I couldn't figure out what was going on.
Little Tang Wei asked me: "Is he scared out of his wits?"
I shook my head. "It's not that simple. It shouldn't be that my soul was destroyed. "
At that moment, I heard a loud bang, followed by the sound of falling dirt from the roof. Before I could react, one of the walls collapsed. I saw a Golden Man.
It was the Golden Man that the boss worshiped in the buddhist hall. The Golden Man had shattered the wall and stood in the middle of the room.
He looked at us, grinned, then reached over and slapped the top of my head.
Golden Man was very tall. Although it was not as exaggerated as standing tall, when he smashed down with his palm from above, it still carried some kind of power.
I didn't dare to go head to head with him because I knew it was made of stone. My flesh and blood might not be a match. So I took the dagger out and stabbed him in the palm of his hand.
With a crisp sound, I saw the dagger and Golden Man's palm burn out. Golden Man howled in anger and retreated a step, while I pulled Little Tang Wei and ran.
Little Tang Wei gasped for breath as she ran and asked, "Why are you running? Can't you beat him? "
I honestly said, "I can't beat him."
Little Tang Wei asked again, "Your dagger looks pretty powerful, will it be damaged?"
I said, "The dagger isn't broken, but my hand is numb and I almost can't hold it. Two more and my arm will be crippled. "
Little Tang Wei finally accepted this fact and concentrated on escaping behind me.
I thought that the Golden Man would chase us out. Strangely, he just chased us to the entrance of the mutton restaurant, sneered at us a few times, and then retreated.
I wondered for two seconds, and then I saw a flash of white in the east: dawn was coming.
The boss of mutton restaurant was very nervous. She said that no one had ever seen the light of day and that everyone who had seen it was dead. Now that Little Tang Wei and I came out in broad daylight, would something happen?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, so I looked around for a room to hide in. But every house had its doors and windows closed, and we knocked several times, but no one opened the door.
Just as I was getting anxious, the Little Tang Wei pointed towards the distance and said, "There, over there."
I raised my head and saw that there was a dilapidated house there. This Inside the house was actually open its door. So the two of us ran.
By the time we ran panting to the front of the house, I was feeling a little desperate. Because there was no door at all.
Little Tang Wei sat on the ground and said to me: "Looks like we are going to die together."
I stood at the door and looked around before replying, "Not necessarily."
The Little Tang Wei said, "We will arrive in the day. A house without a door can't stop anything, so won't it die?"
I asked the Little Tang Wei, "Do you know what's happening during the day?"
Little Tang Wei said, "I don't know, but I heard that no one can live during the day."
I replied, "En, Inside the house has two coffins. I feel that we should be able to survive if we hide inside them."
Little Tang Wei looked at the coffin and then looked at me. Her face unexpectedly revealed a weird smile: "Let's go in together? Hu Chujiu, you have such a strong taste. "
I helplessly said, "What are you doing here?" "One coffin each, of course."
Little Tang Wei's face was pale: You aren't trying to scare me, are you?
I replied, "Didn't you die?" Since you are already dead, why are you still afraid of coffins? "
I pushed aside a coffin. Luckily, the coffin is empty and there are no corpses inside, lest I clean it up. I said to Little Tang Wei: "You can lie inside this coffin. I think it's quite suitable."
I stuffed her in without waiting for Little Tang Wei to say anything. Then, with a clang, the lid was closed.
Little Tang Wei was crying inside, scratching at the coffin with all her might. Outside, I said, "The day is coming. If you make a ruckus and kill yourself, you can't blame me. "
With that, the Little Tang Wei quieted down. From the looks of it, even if one was a ghost, one would still cherish their life.
After settling down the Little Tang Wei, I went to push open another coffin. But the door was so evil, I couldn't even open it.
I took a closer look. The coffin wasn't nailed, but why couldn't the lid be opened?
I took two steps back, then lunged forward and kicked the lid of the coffin. I heard a scream, and then the coffin lid flew away and crashed to the ground, kicking up a great cloud of dust.
A hand came out of the coffin, bloody and terrifying.
I was a little scared. "Who's there?"
An angry voice came from the coffin, "Fight with me when you're still alive. Do you still want to fight for the coffin when you're dead? Is there no justice in the world?"
Then someone sat up in the coffin. When I saw him, I was stunned. Isn't this the old farmer who used to give me advice?
The old farmer saw me, too, and he recognized me at once. He also looked at me excitedly before scolding, "Bastard, you must repay this debt of gratitude with enmity."
When I saw that the day would soon come, I said to the old farmer, "I'm sorry, but you told me to hide."
Then I lifted the coffin and jumped into the middle of the coffin, closing the lid behind me.
The coffin was large, and the old farmer and I sat with our knees in it. He leaned against one side, I against the other, and we remained silent in the darkness.
After a long while, the old farmer said faintly, "Just now, there was the sound of footsteps. I knew that things were not going well." I clutched at the coffin but I didn't expect you to send it flying with a kick. "
I gave a dry laugh and said to the old farmer, "Is your hand all right?"
The old farmer sighed, "Fortunately, I am already dead. No matter how severe the injury was, it could be healed. You are a good boy, to be able to escape from the hands of the mutton restaurant's boss, you are definitely not a simple person. "
I said to the old farmer, "It was a coincidence that we were able to escape."
When I said that, I actually felt a little guilty, because I knew that it wasn't just a coincidence that we were able to shake off the boss. It was Little Tang Wei's words that worked, instigating thirty to forty souls to fight the boss.
The old farmer gave a faint "hmm" before asking me, "Do you know the owner's true appearance now?"
I said, "I know. He has locked up all the souls of the outsiders and sold them to others as mutton. "
The old farmer said, "Yes. Even if the soul stays here for a long time, it will slowly dissipate, just like outside. So the boss turned some of the soul into meat and sold it to us. "Of course, eating human meat is a little hard for us to swallow. The boss is kind enough to make human meat look like mutton. This way, we'll feel a little better."
I almost vomited. "Isn't this a cover-up?"
The old farmer chuckled, "What else can we do? Ai, the first time I ate it, my heart felt bad. The second time I ate it, it was a little bit more natural. If everyone around you eats it, when you eat it yourself, you won't feel anything. It's like if everyone eats a chicken or duck, they won't feel guilty, right? "
I sighed. "So, the newly arrived souls outside have been turned into mutton?"
The old farmer said, "That's not the case either. Sometimes, when we're young, we don't have any outsiders. Then there's nothing we can do. We have to choose a soul from among us to feed to everyone."
I was shocked. "Is there no resistance?"
The old farmer remained silent for a while and then said, "No." The boss always chose the weakest one. Furthermore, every time before the selection, everyone was busy giving gifts to their boss, praying that they wouldn't be selected. If you resist... "Then there's no need to choose anymore. Whoever resists will be eaten."
