The host was very good at roasting snail meat, but this was his first time roasting such a big one. He divided the snail into two sections and prepared to roast each section. He found a branch, put the half of the snail on it, and then ordered it. Light the fire and start grilling. The host seems to be very talented in eating. He knows how to grill it evenly and use the part of the flame to grill it so that it doesn't have a smoky smell and can still be cooked. What should I use? Roasting it in circles at the same speed can bake it quickly and well. In short, during the baking process, he controlled all kinds of heat just right.

I have to admit that everyone has a talent for a specific thing, and relying on a natural intuition, he can do that thing perfectly. "How to make food" is the talent of the male host.

It didn't take long for the snails to be roasted, and the surrounding air was filled with a special fragrance, which made the male host salivate. However, he had experience and resisted taking a bite immediately, because he knew that it would be possible. You will get burned because the texture of the meat is very much like hot porridge. It doesn't look hot on the surface, but the heat is hidden inside, so you have to wait for a while for the heat inside to dissipate before you can bite it with confidence.

After a while, the male host felt that it was almost done, so he took a tentative bite. When the tender snail meat came into contact between his lips and teeth, the male host felt that this was the best he had ever eaten when he was so old. The most delicious food, the tender and fragrant feeling, excited every taste bud of his.

Soon, half of the snail was almost swallowed by him. Although the snail became much smaller after being grilled, this half of the snail weighed two to three kilograms. When I ate it, I didn’t feel like I had eaten too much. After eating, Later, he felt that it was really uncomfortable. The male host could only lie down and lean on the boulder. He felt that the snail meat he had eaten seemed to be all over from his stomach to his throat. Therefore, he almost did not dare to move. It seemed that if he moved, the meat would pour out of his throat.

People can easily become sleepy after eating too much, so the male host leaned against the boulder and fell asleep unconsciously. The strong smell of rot in the valley was diluted by the aroma of snail meat.

I don’t know how long it took, but the male host was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. It seemed to be a rumbling sound coming from the mountains, and it was also mixed with a strange sound made by a woman. Although the sound was not too loud, it had a strange sound. It was clear that the male host was only a teenager at the time. At this age, he would not think too much about many things, so he did not feel scared at the time. He thought someone was coming.

But when he looked around, there was nothing. At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the valley seemed even darker. He stretched, jumped off the boulder, and was about to go home, but the moment he landed, , one of his legs suddenly fell into a crack. Fortunately, the crack was not too wide, otherwise he would have fallen down. However, even so, it scared him badly. He struggled to pick up the legs on both sides of the crack with his hands. The ground supported his upper body, and he tried his best to pull out the sunken leg. Fortunately, because of his young age and soft and flexible muscles, he was not injured after all this effort.

To the great surprise of the male owner, there were obviously no cracks here, but when he woke up, there was such a crack. He looked at it in horror. This crack was very long, and even extended to the mountain next to it, like the entire mountain. It felt as if someone had cut the mountain with a knife. When he looked inside the crack, he felt that it was bottomless, and there was an eerie air coming from inside, which made his hair stand on end.

Suddenly, he vaguely saw something crawling up from the crack. Although he was a little scared, his curiosity still made him bend down and take a closer look at what was climbing up. He squinted his eyes and After a while, when his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he saw clearly that it was a large snail, similar to the one he had eaten.

For some reason, when the male host saw this big snail crawling out of the crack, he suddenly felt his stomach churning. He couldn't hold it back for a few times, so he knelt on the ground and vomited. He got up and vomited everything in his stomach. This time he felt a little better, but his whole body was limp and he had no strength at all. He squatted on the ground for a while, then gritted his teeth and stood up, stumbling. Staggeringly walked home.

On the short road from the valley to home, the male host actually rested five or six times. Each time he really had no strength to leave. But usually, he would be jumping around. Unknowingly, he took this The journey was over, but this time, he seemed to have to make great efforts every step of the way. But for some reason, he had a firm belief in his heart: No matter how difficult it was, he must persist until he got home and never fall down. On the way, he had a vague feeling that if he couldn't get home and fell on the road, he would die.

The male host still doesn’t know why he had that thought at that time. It might be an instinct to survive. When he gritted his teeth and walked to the door of his courtyard, he really had no strength at all. Decades later , the male host still remembers very clearly the feeling of despair, helplessness, and extreme fear he felt at that time, and even the words he wanted to shout but did not shout out, he still remembers what he was doing at that time. He opened his mouth a few times and wanted to shout: "Grandma, come out and save me", but he could no longer make a sound. He only felt that his tears had flowed down, and then he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself in the warm bed. His grandmother, mother and sisters were all looking at him eagerly. Grandma and mother were still sobbing.

Later, the landlord found out that he had been in a coma for two days and two nights. The family went crazy because he was the only incense. His father also didn't sleep for two days and two nights, but he was still in a coma one after another. But after every doctor felt the pulse, they shook their heads repeatedly, saying that the child's pulse was too strange, and they really didn't know what kind of disease he had. Later, some people said that the child might have been exposed to evil spirits, and his father had hired a magician to exorcise him. , but to no avail.

Later, my father was anxious, worried, and overworked, so he fainted. Now, the family had completely lost its backbone, and the female relatives could only cry.

Fortunately, the man finally woke up, and the family heaved a sigh of relief.

It probably took more than a month for the male protagonist to fully recover. However, since then, the male protagonist seemed to have changed. Before, he had always been lively and active, as if he could not rest for a moment, and this happened. After the incident, he became extremely mature and steady, and his movements became slower. Although he was still a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, his every move seemed to be that of an adult in his thirties or forties.

And there is another clear change. After this disaster, he is no longer interested in snail meat, which he used to love most. He even feels like vomiting when he sees snails.

His family also noticed all these changes in him. They were still worried at first and invited many doctors to see him. However, after the diagnosis, these doctors all said that everything was normal and he had no illness. Indeed, apart from his personality, Apart from the big change in taste, other aspects have not changed.

But for some unknown reason, the male host has been reluctant to tell his family about the strange experience that day. Although his family asked him where he went and what he did that day, the male host said perfunctorily that he was just doing what he usually did that day. Just the same, just walking around home.

A few years later, there was a Taoist priest who went to the mountains to collect medicine and stayed at their house. At that time, the father of the host, like the host, was very kind to others and treated these guests very favorably. The Taoist priest was very grateful, because the family was full of women, and it was particularly inconvenient to entertain such a monk. Therefore, the father of the male host asked the male host to help deliver food and water to the Taoist priest. At that time, the male host was only seventeen or eighteen years old. , but his parents had just given him a daughter-in-law and wanted him to continue the family line as soon as possible and have more sons.

In the house, the man's father and the Taoist priest seemed to be having a very lively conversation, but every time the man came into the house to deliver something or pour water, for some reason, the Taoist priest would stop talking to the man's father and speak carefully without saying a word. He looked at him, and twice seemed to want to say something, but hesitated. Of course, the male host also noticed the Taoist priest's strange behavior.

When he entered the house for the third time to pour water, the Taoist priest still stopped talking and looked at the man of the house carefully. This time, the man of the house's father seemed to feel that the Taoist priest's behavior was a bit strange, so he wanted to ask the priest, but Seeing that his son was also in the house, he refrained from asking. The man of the house also sensed his father's subtle thoughts. After pouring the water, he hurriedly retreated, but this time he did not return to his house. Instead, he quietly went around to the back window and eavesdropped on the conversation between the Taoist priest and his father.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, he heard his father ask the priest: "I just noticed that every time the dog comes in, the Taoist priest will look at it carefully. I don't know why, the Taoist priest can Can you tell me?"

The Taoist Master did not reply immediately. He paused for a moment and then sighed deeply and said: "The poor Taoist bothered your house, but the donor not only did not have any objection, but instead treated me so warmly. I am really grateful. I have heard people say that the donor is very kind-hearted." Well, everyone who comes to stay in the mountains, no matter old, young, poor or weak, will be treated with sincerity. There are not many such kind people anymore."

When the father of the male host heard that the Taoist priest praised him so much, he quickly said a few polite words, but he knew that the reason why the Taoist priest said these words might be a way to prepare the answer before answering his question.

Sure enough, the Taoist priest continued: "However, I saw today that Mr. Ling seems to have experienced some kind of disaster, and this kind of disaster is likely to affect the descendants of the donor."
