The oil lamp can't be blown out

"Let's get started, today's tooth ceremony!" Xie Bangui, who was sleeping, first heard someone banging a copper basin and yelling, then there was a burst of scrambling footsteps, and then there were scattered voices moving towards the street.

Xie Bangui sat up and pulled the fat man next to him: "Go out and take a look."

The two people opened the door and saw that the old residents of Black Town had already arrived at the street entrance with cooking utensils, and the new arrivals were slowly moving towards the street entrance looking around like them.

Not long after, a strange smell of meat floated down the street. Fatty Gao sniffed: "Why is this smell so strange?"

"That's the smell of boiled human flesh!"

Xie Bangui's words that were neither salty nor bland frightened Fatty Gao, and he stammered: "How do you know? Have you eaten it?"

Xie Bangui tilted his chin toward the street entrance. The tall fat man turned around and saw a shaved human skeleton hanging under the eaves of the street. Bai San was holding a big penis from under the bone.

The pot is filled with white flowers and oily foam.

Fatty Gao pointed to the iron barrel containing oil on the side of Bai San and stammered: "Then...isn't that...isn't it a barrel containing lamp oil? Let's use human oil to light the lamp?"

"It should be..." Xie Bangui frowned and said, "No wonder the color of the lights is wrong."

Over there, Bai San had already tapped the edge of the pot with a spoon and shouted: "You can eat it. The old rule is, each person has a bowl. If you don't want to eat it, you can give it to others."

The old people in the black town rushed over, scooped up the meat from the pot, and squatted on the street to gobble it up.

"Ugh -" I don't know who vomited it out first, and the newcomers vomited it up. Some people even squatted there and shook while vomiting. They had never heard of "cannibalism".

, but hearing about it is another matter than seeing it with your own eyes. Especially, this kind of cannibalism so close at hand. It is impossible to describe the fear in their hearts when they say they see a group of wild beasts. These are simply a group of evil ghosts.

After a while, someone had already finished the meat in the bowl. He licked his lips and stood up. He pushed the newcomer next to him and said, "Would you like to eat? If not, leave it to me!"

The man looked at the other party's white teeth, which were covered with fleshy teeth, and came closer to him. He was so frightened that he almost lost his breath: "Please...please..."

"Thank you!" The man poured another full bowl of meat from the pot without any courtesy. Not long after, the old people in Black Town began to fill the second bowl of meat one after another.

Xie Bangui turned around and took out two small basins for serving rice. He walked to the pot, dug out two basins of meat and carried them back.

The fat man felt his scalp numb: "Brother, you...you..."

An old man who didn't get the meat also laughed and said: "Little brother, do you dare to eat it? No one who has lived here for a year and a half dares to eat this fragrant meat."

Xie Bangui said without looking back: "Whoever wants to eat can ask me for it."

Sure enough, someone followed him to the door: "Brother, give it to me!"

"If you want to eat, come in and eat." Xie Bangui put the meat on the table.

The man became anxious and said, "You're such a bad person. Either you give it or you say no. What kind of house do you have to go into?"

Xie Bangui said with a smile: "I want to find someone to talk to, so what if I go inside and sit for a while?"

"No!" The man shook his head and said, "Forget it if you don't give it, I don't want it anymore."

"Take it!" Xie Bangui stretched out his hand and handed the meat over.

"Thank you." The man put the meat into his bowl, put the wooden basin at the door, and left happily.

After Xie Bangui sent away the second man who wanted meat, Fatty Gao asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"They dare not enter the house." Xie Bangui said keenly: "In other words, the people here must not know whether there are living people living in the house."

"You are very smart!" Bai San didn't know when he arrived outside their window, whispering in a ghostly voice: "In Black Town, the difference between humans and ghosts is that the living can be eaten after they die, and how long will the ghosts last?

None of them can be eaten.”

Bai San looked at Xie Bangui and said, "Don't think I will remind you of anything. I came here just to see if you can eat that bowl of meat. Don't trust others easily in Black Town. People and ghosts here are all alike."

Not telling the truth."

After Bai San finished speaking, he slowly walked away with his hands behind his back.

The fat man looked at Bai San's back and said, "He seems to be reminding us not to communicate with people in Black Town."

Xie Bangui pointed to the empty street: "I'm not making a point, but explaining the facts. You see, the people here went back to their houses after Bai San left. They didn't even open the windows. They didn't enter other people's houses.

I probably don’t want others to go in. I’m afraid it will be difficult to find information in the Black Town.”

Fatty Gao scratched his head and said, "What should we do? We can't just wait here, right?"

"Go to sleep first and wait a few hours before we talk." Xie Bangui fell into bed and thought of a solution.

Like Xie Bangui, Die Xian Xiao Cai is also in trouble. She has used "Die Xian Technique" to recruit several ghosts in succession since she entered the black town. However, these ghosts either refused to speak or were talking nonsense.

This forced Xiao Cai to give up looking for ghosts: "Die Xian magic doesn't seem to work here. The ghosts in Black Town simply refuse to trade with me."

"Then what should we do?" Mukui Ren Chongyun said irritably: "There is no news at all, we can't waste time here, right?"

"What will Xie Bangui do?" Xiao Cai's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Let's keep an eye on Xie Bangui, he must have something to do?"

"He?" Ren Chongyun didn't believe it: "What can he do? He's not like us."

Xiao Cai smiled and said: "Have you never heard that if the Taoist is high, the devil is also high? The devil is high because he dares to use any conspiracy method.

I, he must have a way."

Sure enough, just as Xiao Cai thought, a few hours later, Xie Bangui and the fat man slipped out of the room, tiptoed to the front of a relatively remote room, pulled out a thin-edged dagger, and inserted it through the crack of the door.

He flicked the door latch twice, opened the door and ducked into the house.

The furnishings of the room are similar to those of Xie Bangui's room. There is also a dancing oil lamp on the table in the middle. The owner of the room is lying on the table with his head buried in the dim light. There is a puddle under his nose.

Dark blood dripped down the edge of the table and onto the ground.

Xie Bangui took two steps forward, grabbed the man's hair and lifted it up. Although the man's mouth was bubbling with blood, he was still breathing.

Two eyes that were almost lifeless were staring at Xie Bangui, and his lips were opening and closing desperately as if he wanted to say something.

Xie Bangui lowered his head and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Oil...the oil lamp...can't be extinguished if you blow it out!" The man spat out blood, threw his head back and died.
