Chapter 36 Foraging
Comprehensive area.
In the closed small store, Jian Hui sat near the door of the store, listening carefully to what was going on outside.
At the same time, he would turn around every once in a while to look at what was going on inside the store.
At the current location, Jian Hui saw He Xiang's death with his own eyes, while Lin Xiaojun was in serious danger, while Wei An and Wen Qiong went outside to investigate.
The only ones left in the store were myself, the bald middle-aged man Hao Jiannan, the short but sturdy Ren Tao, and the young girl Qiao Rongrong.
The other three people were sitting in the shop, sitting together. Hao Jiannan and Ren Tao were holding their stomachs and curling up, while Qiao Rongrong was frowning and hunched over as well.
Jian Hui knew how they felt now, because he himself felt very hungry. After smelling the broth just now, although he didn't see it anymore, the feeling of hunger seemed to be getting worse, especially sitting here with nothing.
In case of doing.
Random thoughts are more likely to lead to increased hunger.
Fortunately, a long time has passed now, and the pot of meat and the man in the mask are not chasing me. They may have been attracted by the Wei An mother and son or other things.
Jian Hui turned around and comforted the others softly: "It seems that our crisis is over now. It has been two hours, and the man wearing the mask has not chased us."
"Two hours?" Hao Jiannan raised his head and stared at him in surprise, "Mr. Jian, it's less than an hour now, how can it be more than two hours?"
Jian Hui was stunned, secretly thinking that his time perception was wrong again. He turned his attention to the upper right corner of his eye and found that it had indeed not been an hour since he settled down in this store just now.
It should be dark outside at this time, and there will still be a long time until dawn tomorrow, and this period is the most dangerous moment.
"No, I'm too hungry. I can't stand it. I want to eat." Ren Tao stood up with his hands covering his stomach, but he couldn't even stand up straight. He was obviously very hungry.
Gu——
Qiao Rongrong looked embarrassed because her stomach made a sound in response, proving that she was also very hungry.
Hao Jiannan said: "I suggest that we find something to fill our stomachs near here first, and don't go too far, so that we can return immediately if anything happens."
Jian Hui said nothing.
However, he was thinking in his mind that although he didn't know the reason, the pot of meat might be steaming somewhere nearby, and the masked man might also be hiding somewhere.
This masked man should be the Butcher himself. If you choose to fight him, you have almost no chance of winning, so you should try to avoid a head-on conflict with him.
These people can attract most of the butcher's attention. As long as they don't die too quickly, it's not impossible to survive until the end of 24 hours.
What's more, there are still Wei An and his mother outside to spread hatred. It's better to delay for a while and not die so quickly, so as to leave more time for yourself.
"Well, we have to eat! We need to hurry up while it's not completely dark yet." Jian Hui nodded and said: "The food in the ghost story is also edible. Just be more careful and pay more attention, and stuff your nostrils with tissues. Some
Just don’t take any weird or unfamiliar food.”
Seeing that even Jian Hui agreed, Hao Jiannan immediately said: "Ren Tao, you and I go out to get food. When we go out, I will take care of you. This is a comprehensive area, and there should be no shortage of cooked food such as braised vegetables nearby."
Ren Tao was eager to eat something quickly and nodded immediately.
Jian Hui warned: "You must pay attention to safety, take the food back before eating, and don't be greedy!"
After saying this, he opened the door of the hidden shop, and Hao Jiannan and Ren Tao bowed and got out.
At the moment, the light in the comprehensive area is not too dim. It is the brightest area in the vegetable market. You can see about five or six meters away from you.
Hao Jiannan and Ren Tao noted their current location and immediately dispersed. Ren Tao moved the fastest and disappeared after a while, heading towards the braised food shop.
Hao Jiannan has always been middle-aged, with a slightly bulging belly, and his movements are not as good as Ren Tao. He hunched over, fearing that he would be discovered by strangers, so he sneaked to a stall on the roadside in the comprehensive area.
Take a closer look and you will see that there are a lot of dried tofu placed here. This kind of five-spice dried tofu is golden on the outside and white on the inside. You can eat it directly.
Hao Jiannan couldn't help but pick up a half-brick-sized piece of dried tofu with spices and gnawed it. The more he ate, the more flavorful it became. He ate half of the dried tofu and wolfed it into his stomach. Then he took off his
I wrapped several pieces of dried tofu in my coat, and then took away two bottles of Lao Gan Ma.
In fact, there were plastic bags at the stall, but because the bags would make noise, Hao Jiannan wrapped them in his own clothes just to be on the safe side.
Ren Tao on the other side quickly came to the braised meat shop. He couldn't help but swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva. He quickly came to the stall, pulled off the white cloth covering the braised pork, grabbed a piece of braised beef and jerked it.
Stuffed it into his mouth.
This piece of beef was relatively large, and Ren Tao chewed and swallowed it at the same time, looking like a starving ghost.
At the same time, he quickly stuffed the other braised pork, beef, and pork belly into the white cloth towel, folded the white cloth towel twice, tied a knot in the middle, and wrapped all the meat.
At this time, he had almost finished the beef in his mouth, and was about to leave with the food when his nose suddenly moved, and a strange smell of meat entered his nostrils.
Ren Tao was stunned. There was still a tissue stuffed in his nostrils, but for some reason, he could still smell the fragrance clearly. It seemed that the tissue was no longer working.
A stronger sense of hunger came over him. He felt so hungry. The braised meat in his hand suddenly lost its aroma. He wanted to eat something with the smell of meat, because that was the real thing that attracted him.
food.
All the braised pork wrapped in his hand fell to the ground. Ren Tao ignored it and walked around the braised pork shop towards the fruit and vegetable area.
About five stalls away from the fruit and vegetable section, he saw the large steaming aluminum pot.
Ren Tao swallowed hard and ran frantically towards the big aluminum pot. However, he did not completely lose his mind and even picked up a knife from a stall.
After getting close to the aluminum pot, Ren Tao put his knife into the pot and inserted a piece of meat out. He wanted to blow it to cool it while stuffing it into his mouth.
At this moment, a force hit Ren Tao behind him. Ren Tao became unsteady and threw himself forward, instantly overturning the aluminum pot, pot rack and coal stove.
A large amount of boiling soup was poured on Ren Tao. Ren Tao let out a shrill scream, quickly took off his coat, and kept slapping his body.
At the same time, the large amount of meat scattered on the ground further stimulated his desire to eat. After screaming, he grabbed the meat on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, quickly eating two large pieces.
Suddenly, Ren Tao, who was lying on the ground, saw a pair of black rubber shoes in front of him, which were stained with blood. He raised his head slightly and saw a man wearing a linen mask looking down at him.
Apart from being hungry, Ren Tao felt puzzled. The masked man appeared from right in front of him, so the person who pushed him from behind just now was not the person in front of him.
Not long after the idea came up, a sharp pain came from his abdomen. The masked man squatted down and turned his body over. The force was so powerful that Ren Tao couldn't resist at all.
