Chapter 1481 A Bumper Harvest

Li Bai's face froze, but he soon regained his smile, "Grandma, I heard you said that the shrine of the general who suppressed the army must be very spectacular, but where is it?"

The village is only so big. The three people in Jiangcheng walked around for so long, but they didn't see any magnificent buildings. The largest one was just a dilapidated courtyard.

The old woman turned around and raised her hand, pointing diagonally upward, which was the direction of the center of the village. Her eyes were extremely pious, "My child, it is right there, it is looking at us!"

The fat man swallowed and felt bad, because he could only see the empty and gray sky, and there was nothing else.

Jiang Cheng looked in the direction of the old woman's finger. He knew that there was indeed something there. It was the tall shadow in the dream!

It's there, they just can't see it.

With a thought in his mind, Jiang Cheng seemed to realize something. He breathed a sigh of relief and his expression relaxed. He said he was tired and went back to his room to rest alone.

The fat man winked at Jiang Cheng repeatedly, but Jiang Cheng gave him a reassuring look in return.

Fatty was worried that Jiang Cheng would take risks to save Li Bai, but Jiang Cheng looked very calm and seemed to be sure of the situation at hand, but it was clear that he was not like this just a moment ago. Fatty guessed that Jiang Cheng must have caught a key clue.

Thinking of this, Fatty gained confidence and was no longer so afraid of the false villagers in front of him.

An hour later, the villagers left one after another after eating. Fatty and others were busy helping clear the tables and chairs. Suddenly, Li Bai felt dizzy and his limbs were completely weak.

The old woman and the others seemed to have expected it. They rushed up to Li Bai before she fell, supported her, and then carried her to the fake grandpa's room without waiting for the fat man and others to react.

After reacting, the fat man immediately rushed forward, grabbed a villager's clothes and asked, "What happened to Li Bai? What...what are you going to do?"

But there were so many villagers that they ignored him at all and quickly carried Li Bai to the bed where the fake grandpa died. The old woman pretended to comfort the fat man, "You foreigners, don't worry, Miss Li." She'll be fine, she's just too hungry, just let her finish the bowl of rice."

As he spoke, a villager handed over a bowl of rice. The old woman held the rice bowl and walked step by step to the painting. Then she placed the rice in front of the painting as if she were offering tribute. She placed her chopsticks flat on the bowl and kept mumbling. He said: "Eat well. After eating, people will get better. Only then can they enter the Shengshi Temple. My granddaughter... will wake up."

After all this was done, the villagers didn't stay for a long time and turned around to leave. Now it seems that these people are not ready to continue the show. When they left, everyone had a weird smile on their face.

Tang Qisheng went to find Jiang Cheng. This man had not come out of the room for so long. Tang Qisheng knew that it must not be as simple as resting. He might have discovered something.

As he approached the room, he deliberately walked softly, and then suddenly frowned. He seemed to hear voices in the room. It was very soft, and he was not sure.

But when he got close enough to listen carefully, the voices disappeared again, and Jiang Cheng's calm voice came from inside, "Come in directly, what are you doing sneakily?"

Tang Qisheng opened the door and found Jiang Cheng alone in the room. Jiang Cheng had taken off his coat and was sitting on the bed, seemingly just waking up.

Tang Qisheng didn't care and immediately told Li Bai's situation. When Jiang Cheng arrived, Li Bai's condition was slightly better than expected. Although his face was pale and his limbs were weak, he was still conscious and could speak normally. , but feeble.

"Mr. Zhang, how is Li Bai?" the fat man asked.

Zhang Qizheng withdrew his hand. He had just checked Li Bai's pulse. He hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "It's strange. Judging from the pulse, Li Bai is fine. Her illness is completely caused by weakness, like...like long-term hunger." caused."

"hunger?"

Everyone immediately thought of the old woman who wanted to resurrect her granddaughter. She said the same thing not long ago.

Yao and Shunyu immediately went back to the room to get dry food and water. Everyone watched Li Bai eat it. She ate very hard. It seemed that she was really hungry. She ate 5 pieces of cake by herself like a cloud. This was her A normal amount of food for a day, but even so she was still eating desperately.

Jiang Cheng saw something was wrong and immediately snatched half of the piece from her hand, "Stop eating. You ate too much. How do you feel now?"

Li Bai touched his stomach, "I don't feel anything, I'm still hungry, very hungry, as if I haven't eaten anything."

How is this possible? Everyone saw with their own eyes that she ate five pieces of cake and drank a full water bag. Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and pressed it on Li Bai's stomach. His face turned ugly in a few seconds, "she said Yes, her stomach is still flat, and the food has not flowed into her stomach at all. "

Similar scenes reminded him of a kind of punishment in hell. Legend has it that if you waste food during your life, you will fall into a hell called a bumper harvest after death. There are delicious food and wine everywhere here, but the people here are... They are so skinny that they keep picking up food and stuffing it into their mouths like zombies, but no matter how much they eat, they can't keep their stomachs full. The food they eat in their mouths will disappear inexplicably. Over and over again, these people will become thinner and thinner. But he couldn't die and could only struggle in endless pain.

At this time, everyone thought about the white rice. It was already obvious that only eating white rice could relieve Li Bai's hunger. But if he really ate it, he would fall into the trap of the villagers.

This is a dilemma.

"I figured it out. The fake grandfather must have seen through the villagers' tricks, so he refused to eat, and his body became weaker and weaker. But in the end, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he..." The fat man clenched his fists and excitedly explained his views to everyone.

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jie suddenly pointed behind everyone, "Look!"

Turning around, the scene in front of them made everyone frown. They saw that the chopsticks that were originally placed flat on the bowl were moved. The three chopsticks were inserted upside down in the bowl and separated, like three incense sticks. The key is that the middle one is long, and the two on the left and right are broken, which is obviously shorter.

Everyone's face became gloomy. People should avoid three long and two short, and incense should avoid two short and one long. This is not a good sign. Tonight... I'm afraid it will be the day of Li Bai's death.

Time was running out. Considering Li Bai's mood, Jiang Cheng winked at everyone. Everyone walked out of the door and came to the yard. Zhu Jie was the first to speak: "I'm afraid this bowl of rice must be eaten. Just now, I took a peek while sending the villagers away. Those villagers didn't go far at all. They are waiting."
