It was noon when we walked out of the cave, but it was already past the time for the village to cook. The Cao family was very rigid at this point. After that, they had to wait until evening if they wanted to eat. We didn't expect this trip to end so soon. After we came out, we happened to see the long-lost sunny sky, so we didn't want to leave.

Mr. Cao took us to the edge of a stream. This season, the river was almost dry, but the exposed stone platform was just right for us to rest. The fat man and Qin Feng were strong enough, so they took off their clothes and pants, jumped into the stream and took a shower. Both of them were bruised and swollen, looking like two hairless bears were dripping there.

Taking advantage of this moment, the fat second uncle got into the little forest in front of him. Not long after, he caught three big snakes.

"There is nothing good near Caojia Village. It can be taken out to entertain people. This is the thing." Cao's second uncle said with a smile.

I guess snake meat is the best meat I have ever eaten, but I am a tough guy. Although I always want to eat it when I was in Yanjing, I just feel strange. But I don’t care so much at the moment, so I can’t abandon snake meat and eat the compressed biscuits. So I cooperated and took out a small pot and edible salt.

The snake meat cooked for us by the fat second uncle is really the best. Needless to say, how fresh the snake is, it is still turning over after peeling it into the pot. This ingredients are also very special, including several herbs picked nearby and a few unknown barks. Everything was put into the pot and stewed. After more than an hour, when the lid was opened, it smelled so fragrant that it almost made me faint.

Everyone rushed to scoop up the snake meat in an iron box and stuffed a piece of snake meat into their mouths. The taste was so refreshing. It was as smooth as raw lard. The smell of herbs and the bark were mixed in the snake meat. The moment they bit into their mouths, the delicious feeling penetrated into our bones, making the fat man scream.

The only thing that didn't do was the old man. He looked at the surrounding mountains with a dry cigarette in his mouth, and didn't know what he was thinking. The snake soup in the pot was eaten by us and there was no soup left. After eating it, everyone couldn't help but lay on the big stone and prepared to sleep comfortably for an afternoon.

I lay down for a while, talked to the fat man for a while, but felt unable to sleep. At this time, I saw Mr. Cao hanging the venom from the kerosene lamp with a knife, so I got up and walked to him and squatted down to take a look.

The old man's hand was very clever. After scraping off a layer of sticky venom, he applied it to a piece of rag, without wasting any of it. In the end, the kerosene lamp was scraped cleanly, and no blue thing could be seen.

"Take your hand and let me see." Mr. Cao said to me after he finished doing it.

I stretched out my left hand and the old man took off the gauze for me. I immediately realized that the broken mouth had begun to grow flesh. The old man nodded, "If there is no accident, I should still be able to connect it."

"No matter whether I can take it back or not, I am very grateful to your Cao family." I said with a smile, "The fat man has saved me several times outside. I have to trouble you again this time."

"You are very good at talking, who did you learn from?" the old man said without much care.

It's true that I don't know when I started to become like I am now, and I have a lot of talks with Guanting Hall, but I have no false words or any purpose to say these things. I just want to be calmer and calmer with those who talk to me.

When he talked to Mr. Cao like this, he laughed, "Oh, our Cao family is not as sensible as you."

"How can I say that? Fatty is much more capable than me. Look at him, didn't he support the village alone?" I said.

The old man nodded, "That kid is indeed capable, but he can't control the situation... Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk for you to apply this poison within three days."

I nodded. It’s not summer anymore, so it’s normal for a group of big men to not take a shower or wash their hands for a few days. “Mr. Cao, can I really take my fingers back with these poisons?” At the last moment, my stingy surname was still exposed.

The old man smiled and stared at me and said, "No matter what, I will not let your hand be ruined."

For some reason, the old man said something so relieved me. Soon, he applied the venom to the five knuckle fractures of my left hand. Within a few minutes, the venom dried out. Only then did I understand why the old man used a kerosene lamp to connect the venom, in order to use the heat of the oil lamp to keep the venom humid.

After retiring the gauze, the old man started smoking dry tobacco again.

I couldn't help asking, "Mr. Cao, do you know what's happening in the Liao family cave? Uh, I'm quite curious, why did you say there is no corpse in the cave?"

The old man smiled, "I know those things are about the same age as you. At that time, the village chief didn't let us contact the Liao family at all. After the villagers knew that they had eaten their companions' bodies, they didn't dare to ask about the Liao family anymore. But at that time, I happened to have a good time with a girl in the Liao family cave."

"Ah?" I smiled in surprise, "This is not the old man." I thought to myself that according to the bones of the Liao family, they should not be able to see where they go. But Mr. Cao's answer really surprised me.

The old man clicked the cigarette pipe and said happily: "The main reason is that she keeps pursuing me. I was young at that time and was blinded by love."

I go, if he hadn't been an old man of high generation, I would have to laugh immediately. ** I would be embarrassed to say this, but I didn't expect that Mr. Cao would say it so calmly.

"Oh, it was because of the girl from the Liao family that I knew their secret." The old man continued, "She told me that their branch was originally a small branch of the Liao clan. I don't know when their ancestor accidentally boarded a ship. After getting off the ship, the Liao family began to change gradually. At first, they just got bigger, but after several generations, the Liao family was surprised to find that the people of their clan were living longer and longer. In their generation, no one in the Liao family died again."

As soon as I heard the boat, I thought of those things. What? Could it be that the Liao family also had a relationship with the boat? But I can't confirm it.

But I immediately thought of another question. What did the old man say? No one died in the Liao family... But didn't the fat man say that the person who found out that the Liao family ate the body saw an old lady dead?

Seeing my face turned pale, Mr. Cao shook his head slightly, "They can't adapt to this immortal life at all. Although they are nominally immortal, at some point, the Liao family will still die like ordinary people for a period of time. One year, ten years, or even hundreds of years, in short, during this period, their bodies will rot like dead people. However, his bones will not be destroyed. Even if they are smashed and burned to ashes, they can grow back. The girl told me that during the time when they died, they returned to the ship, and the ship took them to hell."

The old man paused and continued, "I don't know when it started. The Liao family discovered that as long as one of them was eaten by their own people, a small doll would appear inexplicably among the tribe. More importantly, this little doll is not like them, a normal person, and will be born, old, sick and dead. So the Liao family began a bold plan. They were preparing to eat all their people slowly and then let those normal dolls replace them. But what the Liao family did not expect was that when some of these dolls grew up, they began to envy the Liao family's ability to live forever. Those people thought that as long as they drank the blood of the Liao family, they could live forever, so what happened that night happened."

"You mean, there are actually two types of people in the Liao family?"

"That's right, the first type is the original Liao family, and the second type is the descendants of the Liao family who are hiding outside and unknown origin. That night, the descendants of the Liao family came back. They brought a lot of helpers to kill all the immortal Liao family members and drink their blood. They did it, but after drinking the blood of their elders, the descendants of the Liao family melted. At that time, we didn't open the door, but in fact we didn't want to have conflicts with those outside. The things in the Liao family cave have become very demonic because they have lived with the Liao family for a long time, and the vines strangled their necks, those strange cats, and centipedes."

"Where is that female ghost?" I asked.

The old man shook his head, "The girl didn't know either. She only knew that the woman was brought out from the ship by their ancestors and had been with the Liao family."

When I heard this, I felt a sudden blow. My father told me before that, he had seen many ghosts on the ship. He said that those ghosts were very special. As long as I saw those things, I would understand a lot of things. Could it be that the female ghost was one of them? Although I didn't see where she was, if I could connect my fingers, it would still be very special and even important to me.

And I am still guessing whether the Liao family's later longevity was related to the thousand-year-old rice dumpling.

The fat man glared at me and said, "Did you dream of yourself? Are you there any of me?"

I looked at my left hand wrapped in gauze, and it was hard to explain to them immediately, so I could only let the fat man talk nonsense. Fortunately, Qin Feng gave me a few words, and Mr. Cao also urged us to return to the village.

The big guy turned back to the hillside and suddenly saw someone running over from the village in a hurry.

"No, Dad, someone is going to set fire in our village!" The man rolled and crawled to us.

"Brother, what's going on? Why set fire?" The second uncle of the Cao family and the fat man hurried over and helped the middle-aged man up. He felt that this man was the fat man's uncle.

"Come on, a woman is here." The uncle said panting, "She, she said she was coming to find some round, Fang Jie, and said we had hidden the man. If we didn't let anyone go, she would burn our village with a torch."

When I heard this, I was probably here to find me. But who would find me here? Is it a woman?

"Tsk, uncle, a woman, why did you make this happen?" said the fat man.

"Hey, you don't know how powerful that woman is. She has already flirted with several young men in the village. I look at her attitude and it seems that she is really a decisive decision."

"She, what does she look like?" I couldn't help asking.

The uncle thought for a while and said, "I'm not tall, quite beautiful, oh no, yes, very beautiful."

Oh, I thought to myself that it was probably Zhuge Xuan. I didn’t know if I was excited or something. When I thought of this, I was the first to rush into the village.

When I ran to the entrance of the village, I saw that the woman was facing her back to us, wearing an autumn and winter suit, carrying a travel bag, and was fancy.

When the woman heard someone coming from behind, she turned her head and then laughed at us.

It's been a long time since I thought I really missed me. That's really Zhuge Xuan. I haven't seen her for a while, and she seems to be more beautiful than before. When I saw her smile, my eyes couldn't move away.

The fat man patted his uncle's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this fire can't get up during the day. I'll wait and see it when I find a better house at night."

"Look, what are you watching?" My uncle didn't understand very much.

"**, haven't you seen these two thieves start to get passionate as soon as they meet?" The fat man said with a smile and greeted Zhuge Xuan.

"Long time no see." Zhuge Xuan came over and waved her hand, and greeted us.

"You, why are you here?" I asked blankly.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have many ears and ears. Hey, you guys have all been to Huanxue Forbidden City. How about it? Have you taken out the things?" Zhuge Xuan moved closer to me excitedly.

This girl really... made my heart beat wildly and my face almost turned red. I sighed and raised my left hand. "I didn't take anything, but I threw something inside."

As soon as he saw the situation on my left hand, Zhuge Xuan was stunned. "What's wrong with your hand?" She immediately grabbed my left hand, and it felt really distressing.

I felt so happy. ** I had known that I had hurt my chest. Maybe Zhuge Xuan could hug me immediately. I looked back at the fat man and the others, coughed twice, and then said in a very calm tone: "It's nothing. There are dangers everywhere in the Huanxue Forbidden City. The rice dumplings and monsters we have dealt with are really uncountable. I am too young, thinking that I can fight and carry them, and I'm too desperate. When I get lost, I bit off my fingers for the monster... Hi, it's all over, but fortunately I finally brought everyone out in the end."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the fat man whispering to others.

Zhuge Xuan immediately spread my hand and widened her eyes at the peanuts, "What's the matter with you guys? How can you let him rush in front? Now his fingers are gone. I... how do you guys accompany you?"

I kept waving at the fat man and the others behind Zhuge Xuan, meaning, you have to greet me a little, my lifelong happiness will depend on today.

Pangpang smiled and said, "Of course you have to pay. Look at who is suitable for a few men here, just pull one of them away."

"you......"

I quickly grabbed Zhuge Xuan, "Don't be angry, and you can't blame them." Then I walked over and said to them with great momentum: "Well, Qin Feng, go and send Mr. Cao and his uncle and second uncle back to the house. Peanuts, you, please sort out our thoughts today. Fatty, don't talk nonsense, go back and prepare to make some delicious food. You see, it's easy for a girl to come alone, ah..."
