The man's wailing echoed in the room, and Chu Tianshu, who was overwhelmed by him, sniffled at this moment.
He seemed to smell something, and showed a slightly confused expression because of it.
"Mei Xiang... Mei Xiang... Yaoyao! Yaoyao!"
Blood gushed out of the man's mouth, and he was crazy, as if biting his own tongue.
"Today's consultation time is over." The old man came forward and said hoarsely, "Please come back tomorrow for consultation..."
"boom!"
Taking advantage of Chu Tianshu's momentary absence, the man broke free from his shackles!
He looked like he was insane, and rushed towards Lin Huai. Chu Tianshu didn't notice for a while, and saw him rushing over, so he shouted: "Lin Huai—"
Chu Tianshu, who didn't know how to describe the fate of "Yaoyao" he learned from all the intricate clues at that moment, finally sent an alarm to Lin Huai with the shortest words: "Ghoul—"
Lin Huai: ...
Even though he also got Chu Tianshu's reasoning results in the blink of an eye, he still couldn't help squinting, and in the same short moment—
He kicked away the man who rushed towards him fiercely!
The man was kicked hard by him, and his whole body hit the screen, and then, like a puddle of mud, he slid down slowly.
"Cough...cough cough..."
He covered his mouth and nose, and the blood flowed down his palm and dripped onto his arm.
"The time for today's consultation is over!"
The old man's voice was so angry that it was almost crazy. A group of maids in white clothes rushed in from the door when they heard the movement: "How dare you treat the owner..."
"Who told him to make trouble with the doctor?" Lin Huai retracted his foot, "I will die if the doctor makes trouble."
maid:…
The host leaned against the screen, coughing and passed out. The dark branches on the screen were like ghost hands, surrounding him... gently falling on his shoulders.
It doesn't look like a plum tree, it looks like...
A woman's arms!
'Recipe, Shining. '
'Son Yugui, Yishi IKEA. '
The woman's silvery laughter rang in his ears again.
When the three of them walked out of the study room, the setting sun in the sky was about to set.
"You're fucking crazy!"
When he was in the study, the thin man was still shivering, his limbs trembling. After leaving the study, he seemed to have a lot of courage.
He stepped forward cursingly, as if he wanted to give Lin Huai a hard push: "Do you know that you almost..."
Lin Huai: "Almost what, almost beat the male master to death?"
Thin man:
"Yes," Lin Huai thought for a while, "I will remember to be gentle next time. I didn't expect him to pass out."
"It's really irresistible." He concluded.
Thin man: ...
"Did you find anything in the study?" Chu Tianshu asked.
"Nothing." Lin Huai shrugged, "No paintings, no plum blossoms, all the scrolls—"
He made an "all" gesture: "It's all blank."
"No paintings? None?" The thin man questioned, "Could it be that you didn't look carefully at all... and he said that Mei Xiang was in his body..."
As if thinking of something, the thin man's face suddenly twisted: "What do you mean?"
"That's what you mean."
Meiying Pavilion was already in front of him, Chu Tianshu pulled Lin Huai into his room: "He put his wife—"
He gestured to wipe his neck: "Eat it."
"Why, why?"
"What... is it actually eaten?"
Although he had already guessed in his heart, when Chu Tianshu said these three words, Lin Huai couldn't help but feel cold: "You mean, he not only killed his wife, but also ate her? "
"Otherwise, how should I explain the sentence-'Meixiang is in my body'?" Chutian Shula came to the door, "It's not because the male host has a unique sexual fetish, and he prefers the first love to the love between men and women." Four Loves…”
Lin Huai: "..."
"The sword book of breaking love, desperation and selflessness. I am not surprised that a person like the master who is obsessed with martial arts and wholeheartedly wants to prove the way of swordsman would do such a thing as killing his wife to prove the way..." Chu Tianshu Rubbing his chin, he said, "It's just that I don't quite understand how much hatred there is between him and his wife? Why do you have to... eat her?"
With that said, he took out another compressed biscuit from the package, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"It's not night yet, why are you eating again..." Lin Huaixu rolled his eyes, "As for the reason why he ate his wife, uh..."
"Have you ever heard of a ghost story?" Chu Tianshu asked suddenly.
He patted the biscuit crumbs on his hands: "A man and some friends traveled to the North Pole and were trapped in a cave. After a few days, several people were so hungry that friend A and his girlfriend volunteered to go out to visit Lu, only friend A came back from the snowstorm. When the man was about to pass out, friend A suddenly called everyone to eat meat, saying that he was outside and found the body of a penguin that was eaten by seals... "
"Several people spent the next few days relying on this penguin, and were finally rescued. Later, in order to celebrate their rescue and to repay friend a, they went to a restaurant to invite friend a to eat penguin meat. However, the meal was delayed My friend a was found hanged at home."
Chu Tianshu's voice became gloomy: "Do you know why?"
Lin Huai thought for a while: "... because he doesn't want to eat wild game?"
Chu Tianshu: "... because there are no penguins in the North Pole."
Lin Huai: "... oh."
Chu Tianshu wiped off the biscuit crumbs on his hands. He hugged Lin Huai and put on the big flower quilt. He put his chin on Lin Huai's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Actually, if you understand this story from another angle, all the friends in this story are not innocent, after all..."
"Who wouldn't know that there are no penguins in the North Pole?" He said, "So the fact is that these so-called 'friends' tacitly and acquiesced in eating A's girlfriend. After they got out of trouble, they made This meal, to force friend A to commit suicide. Then they can feel at ease and bury the secret of their survival by cannibalism in their hearts."
As he said that, he leaned closer to Lin Huai's ear on purpose, and breathed out, "From this point of view, isn't this story even scarier?"
Lin Huai's body in his arms suddenly trembled.
Chu Tianshu: "Isn't it? Are you scared?"
Lin Huai's body was still shaking, and after a while, he turned pale.
"Hehe," Lin Huai's eyes flashed with excitement, "If I were that girlfriend, I would definitely turn into a ghost and come back and kill them all."
"I'm going to peel off their skin inch by inch, use my nails to dig out all their flesh bit by bit, and then throw their heads on the ground and kick them like a ball..."
Chu Tianshu: ...
"... So your guess is that the mountain villa was closed due to the heavy snow for many days. The host had hallucinations under the hunger and pain of Bigu, and finally ate the hostess who came to send him paintings? "
After some reasoning and communication, the two initially got the whole picture of the matter. Chu Tianshu nodded and said: "Not only that, but I suspect that after the death of the hostess, there is still not enough food. Therefore, the hostess ate his right hand..."
"I think that right hand may be the hostess' revenge." Lin Huai sat cross-legged on the flower quilt, "For example, after eating the hostess, the host gradually became addicted to human flesh and cold food, and he couldn't bear the hunger , after becoming No. 1 in the world, he became more and more insane, and ate his right hand... He will bite that skinny man, which is the proof."
He thought for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, why didn't you catch him when you were in the study? This doesn't fit your style of painting..."
"This..." Chu Tianshu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I was in a daze at the time, I seemed to... smell something?"
"What's the taste?"
"Plum fragrance." Chu Tianshu said, "The fragrance of plum blossoms. When the master was injured, I smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms."
"Aroma of plum blossoms... wounded... flesh and blood..."
Lin Huai was thoughtful, and Chu Tianshu said again: "You said before that all the scrolls are blank?"
Lin Huai nodded. Chu Tianshu said again: "It's strange, when we went in, the host was clearly drawing something..."
"Could it be that he hid the painting?"
"This is not in line with the usual temperament of the game." Chu Tianshu frowned, "In this kind of puzzle-solving game, all the details are meaningful. Since the game has created this puzzle for us to find paintings, we should There is absolutely no action setting for us to dig three feet in the snow to find the painting. Moreover, this is obviously a copy of Li Gui, a copy of Li Gui composed of four obsessed and tragic deaths. Li Gui The answer setting of the dungeon is generally related to the obsession of the ghost. So what obsession does this ghost have?"
As he thought about it, he took out another compressed biscuit and subconsciously put it in his mouth to chew: "If I were her..."
"If I were her?"
"Yes, this ghost obviously loved her husband deeply before his death. He was willing to accompany him even in the icy world. Therefore, the painting selected by her as the answer to the riddle should also be her most obsessed and condensed her love for him. That painting of a husband’s love…”
Lin Huai shook his head.
"If it were me, I would never forgive that male master." He said coolly, "Don't talk about love... I will just let him return everything he took away from me."
His expression was too frightening, Chu Tianshu "..." for a moment.
"It's okay." Lin Huai touched his face, "You are still very good."
Chu Tianshu: ...
"Knock knock knock."
Outside the door, the voice of the maid delivering food came again.
"Dinner, please." She bowed her head.
Tonight's meal is still two bowls of cold dumplings. The two lit the oil lamp, placed the dumplings on the table, surrounded it, and began to eat compressed biscuits.
Faintly, Chu Tianshu was suddenly in a trance.
A very faint fragrance penetrated into his nose. He bent down, closed his eyes, and sniffed carefully.
There is a fragrance in the dumplings.
Inexplicably, he felt a feeling of wanting to stretch out his chopsticks to pick one up.
"what are you doing?"
Lin Huai's voice came suddenly. Chu Tianshu looked down at the dumplings in the bowl.
"Do you think... dumplings are delicious?"
"What smells good?"
"Dumplings... very fragrant."
'Ha ha ha ha… '
'Hahahaha… '
In the blind spot of their vision, what appeared behind Chu Tianshu was no longer his own reflection, but a tree...
Jaws and claws, twisted figure...
plum tree!
"Hey!"
The thin man's voice came from the door again. Holding the bowl, he said with an unfinished look: "Are you still eating dumplings? If you don't, give them to me."
The plum tree disappeared in an instant. Chu Tianshu stood up, and what appeared behind him was his own shadow again.
"Mom, I don't know what's going on, I'm really going to starve to death these days..."
The thin man returned to his room with Lin Chu's dumplings. Looking at the food at the bottom of the bowl, he showed greedy eyes, and took a deep breath:
"It smells so good..."
A black shadow of a woman appeared on the paper window, staring quietly at the man in the room.
The man was unaware of this.
At this moment, he was eating dumplings with big mouthfuls, as if he was eating something extremely sweet. Under the light of the oil lamp, behind him, a huge plum tree is being reflected on the wall!
"Before the consultation time tomorrow morning, let's go to the study in advance to have a look."
Before going to sleep, Chu Tianshu held Lin Huai in his arms and said, "Look at what the master is drawing, maybe there will be some clues."
"it is good."
The eyelids were suddenly so sleepy that they could hardly lift them up. Lin Huai closed his eyes and fell asleep.
late at night.
The night wind blew, and a shadow appeared on the paper window again.
"Very hungry, very hungry, very hungry..."
The thin man lay on the bed, scratching his stomach vigorously.
"Very hungry, very hungry, very hungry..."
A strong fragrance came from outside the window at this moment.
The aroma of food.
The thin man opened his eyes from the bed, and at some point, his eyes had turned blood red.
He climbed off the bed and walked to the opposite room step by step.
That's the west compartment.
He lay on the paper window, staring at the two sleeping inside the window.
"very hungry… "
Saliva trickled down his chin.
He could smell, from the two of them—
Intense, aroma.
It's really fragrant.
The man shuffled and walked slowly back to his room.
After that, Chu Tianshu, who was in a deep sleep, slowly opened his eyes.
He buried his head on Lin Huai's shoulder, took two deep breaths, and continued to fall asleep.
