The wooden house is a cross-shaped structure. When you walk into the middle door, it is deserted. On the right is a small bar. The male owner is clicking his fingers behind the bar in boredom. When he sees an outsider coming in, he does not give any warm reception. He just rolls his eyelids.
He glanced at it and it seemed that it didn't matter to him whether there were guests or not.
There is a small restaurant on the left. A girl in her teens or 20s is wiping the already very clean plates. Her eyes widened when she saw the guests coming in, as if she hadn’t seen outsiders come here for a long time. There was a guest in the restaurant, who should be
An old regular customer, he was sitting at a small table against the wall, eating fruit, drinking beer, and a piece of hand-shredded jerky. On the table squatted what was probably his pet, a cat with pink fur.
The little monkey-like guy is holding an apple and looking at the visitors with the same curiosity.
"Is there anything to eat here?" Ruola asked softly, for fear of disturbing the peace here.
"Ah, yes, yes." The girl who was cleaning the dishes came back to her senses, and then she remembered to entertain the guests: "Please come in and sit here. What would you like to eat?"
Bing Zhixie and the four of them took their seats, and Alice asked, "Where's the menu?"
"Well, we don't have a menu here. Because most of the people who come here are regular customers from nearby, so we don't prepare a menu." The girl showed an apologetic smile and introduced: "My store has finger meat, milk tea and...
…”
"Just bring the food you usually eat here. It's enough for four...five people." Alice saw Ilyich coming and asked him to sit down next to her.
The girl repeatedly agreed and went to prepare food. After Ilyich sat down, he took a look at the decoration in the room. There were some objects hanging on the walls around the room, which were parts of various items. There were also some cow heads and sheep heads, and even
There are two pairs of white skulls hanging on the wall. They are as white as porcelain. When you look closely, you find that they are real skeletons, just made into decorations. It seems that the skull hangings here are the custom here, because it is not just this
There is a room in the room, and there is also a bar next door and opposite. If it was a sinister black shop, these things would not be displayed in plain sight.
After the food was served, Alice took the girl and asked about the bones here. Sure enough, the girl said that these were decorations and that the skeletons were real and it was a local custom.
Ruola was curious as to why there was such a strange custom and where did these bones come from. Could it be that they all belonged to nearby residents?
The girl told them that the burial custom here is high-sky burial, that is, the deceased relatives are transported to the top of the highest mountain and accepted for natural burial. As for the bones, some foreigners who died for no reason left behind, and most of them were excavated outside the plateau.
Brought by the grave man.
Alice didn't understand: "What do gravediggers do? I've only heard of it in novels. Why do they dig up corpses?"
Ruola answered this question for her: "Gravediggers dig graves and excavate corpses because some hospitals or doctors want to do human anatomy research, including pathological trauma. Usually because there are too few body donors and there are not enough corpses, they
Some people will be specially hired to dig up other people's cemeteries and collect corpses for use. Usually they dig up fresh corpses that have just been buried, and sometimes those who do archaeological work will also use some corpses for experiments."
The girl nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it. Many years ago, there was a weird doctor who lived here. After doing research, he would always throw out some bones and skeletons. We don't taboo about this here. Many people collected them and used them to make
decorations.”
"Ah~!" Alice is not afraid of skeletons now, but it still sounds weird.
"That doctor is still here?"
The girl shook her head: "It has been gone for a long time, and there are no gravediggers to deliver the body here anymore. You can eat slowly, I will go and get busy."
Alice and the others looked at the finger meat on the plate, thinking about the strange doctor who stole the autopsy and dissected it just now. They were obviously very hungry, but they didn't seem so hungry now.
Two more customers came into the store. They were both locals. They looked at Alice who was dining. If she glanced at them, she asked, "Do the white horses and balloons outside belong to you?"
"Yeah, that's not a hot air balloon, it's an airship." Alice replied and explained.
"They're all the same. I thought it was Dalia's." The two went to the bar next door to drink and chat with the boss.
While eating, Humea said: "Alice, Ruola and Mr. Celeste, I will say goodbye to you after this meal. Thank you for helping me during this time. This meal will be served by
Let me treat you."
Alice was very harsh, but when it came to parting, she was infinitely reluctant: "You can walk with us for a while, and wait until we are in a more suitable place, such as a crowded and lively town, before we say goodbye. It will be safer and more
Okay. Right, Master."
"ah."
Humea said happily: "Alice, thank you for your kindness. I have my own journey. As a church shrine, I have tests that I must go through. Soon I will leave to return to the church as the head teacher.
, that will determine which shrine becomes a saint. And I... still have many mission goals to complete." She glanced at Bing Zhixie secretly, knowing that this man could not be her mission target.
Alice held her forehead in distress and said unhappily: "My uncle and aunt belong to your church. Your church is so strange that it makes me very uncomfortable."
Humea laughed: "My church believes in reproduction, and pregnancy under certain conditions is a very glorious thing. One of my tasks on this journey is to conceive a child." She touched her belly and felt happy.
Enjoy: "I don't know who will inject life into my belly..."
Alice was speechless.
After eating the mutton and fruit plate, Bing Zhixie held the milk tea cup and walked to the shelves stacked with groceries facing the center of the main entrance. He looked around, trying to find something useful that could be replenished into the airship. He
After flipping through it, some screws seemed to come in handy, and I could buy a few more water bags, and I could also buy some medicines for diluting potions...
There was the sound of animal hooves outside the wooden house, and a majestic tall horse stopped at the door. Immediately, a postman came down, pulled a not very heavy cloth bag and threw it in, almost throwing it on Bing Zhixie.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't scare you." The postman came in panting and shouted: "Boss, this half month's newspaper has arrived, and there are a few letters."
The shop owner was the uncle who was chatting with the customers at the bar. He pulled his neck and shouted: "Daughter, put the newspapers away and see whose letters are there, and deliver them to others later."
The girl was washing dishes at the back of the house. When she heard the greeting, she ran to the front. Her hands were still wet. She found a dry towel to dry her hands, skillfully untied the bag and took out the newspapers and letters. The newspapers were sorted into the special newspapers and magazines in the store.
I looked at the envelope of the letter again on the shelf, took it and went out, got on my pony, and went to deliver the letter door to door.
