Just looking at the surface, these things are three plates of fragrant red meat, two plates of elegant vegetables, and three bowls of rice.
But among the fragrant meat dishes, I smelled a faint hint of blood.
Sensing something unusual, I picked up my chopsticks and plucked the rice in the bowl twice, only to find half of the uncooked rice grains in the rice.
Medium rare, medium rare, half and half, the proportions are just right.
This is a typical ghost food offering, that is, food offered to ghosts.
It is estimated that the three plates of meat and two plates of vegetarian dishes are all half-cooked.
If you eat too much of this kind of food, it will make the ghosts get sick.
Lin'er didn't know whether it was because of her lack of experience in the arena or because she was too embarrassed that it affected her normal thinking.
She immediately picked up the bowl and started eating with chopsticks on the spot.
I quickly picked up the chopsticks and tapped the rim of her bowl.
Lin'er was startled and glanced at me.
Then her face turned red and she asked timidly: "What are you doing?"
This girl's skin is very white, so when she blushes, the red color is very obvious.
I sighed inwardly and reminded her: "Look at the rice in the bowl."
Lin'er was stunned for a moment, then turned over the rice grains in the bowl, and found that the rice in her hand was half-cooked.
She was also shocked, and then turned over several other dishes on the table.
As expected, these dishes were all half-cooked.
Lin'er put down her chopsticks and whispered to Granny Gu: "It's the ghost who provides food."
It turns out that she also knows these things.
Grandma Gu glanced at the kitchen door curtain and frowned: "The person who prepared the meals for us has no good intentions."
I waved my hand and shook my head: "The chef didn't mean to harm us.
With such raw food, as long as you are not a fool, you can spot the problem at a glance.
If the other party really wants to harm us, this method is too bad.
I guess the chef here , he probably made the food for ghosts unconsciously.”
Grandma Gu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and smiled at me: "If it doesn't make sense."
After saying that, she turned to Lin'er again and said with a smile: "Look, I didn't lie to you.
He is just very smart, even smarter than your senior brothers."
Lin'er glanced at me and nodded silently.
I had to remind Grandma Gu: "Grandma, we are here to do business."
Speaking of Grandma Gu, it’s true.
When are you still thinking about other things?
Fortunately, Grandma Gu also calmed down and asked me in a low voice: "What are your plans now?"
I glanced at the man behind the counter and then towards the kitchen.
After thinking for a moment, I asked Granny Gu: "Grandma, are you sure the people here are poisoned?"
Granny Gu didn't dare to give a definite answer: "It's probably nine out of ten, but I don't dare to draw a final conclusion now.
This place has mixed ears, so let's find a quiet place to talk."
We didn’t intend to eat the half-baked meal on the table anyway, so we asked the man to take us upstairs and open two rooms.
The layout of the room is very simple, just a table, a bench, a bed, and a basin for washing my hands and face.
Fortunately, the bed is still clean, so I don't have to take out my sleeping bag again.
After the man came downstairs, I carried my luggage and went to Granny Gu and Lin'er's room.
We all got together to discuss what to do next.
During this period, I asked Granny Gu about the situation in the village.
She said that since the Chinese New Year this year, many strange things have happened in the village.
First, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Laosan took a hatchet and hacked to death his wife, children, brother and sister-in-law.
He Laosan was a well-known honest man in the village, he was kind-hearted, and his family was harmonious.

I can't figure out why he did such a cruel thing.
Later, people in the village went to the county town to call the police.
When the police came to arrest him, he was dead.
No one knows how He Laosan died.
He suddenly lost his breath and his heart stopped beating.
Just a moment ago, he asked his guard for water.
In January, a girl named Xu at the east end of the village buried her newborn child alive.
Her mother-in-law tried to stop her, but she broke her legs.
If the villagers hadn't arrived, she would have said He might even be killed by her.
And this girl Xu is still alive now, but she has gone insane and is locked up in an old building and not allowed to come out.
In February and March, two consecutive murder cases occurred in the village.
In the case in February, two farmers had a quarrel in the field, and then a fight broke out.
One man was so anxious and heavy-handed that he slashed the other man's throat with a hoe, causing the other man to die on the spot.
The murderer is also dead.
It is said that he fled out of fear of crime and entered the mountains in the middle of the night.
However, he slipped and fell into the water because it was too dark and drowned alive.
The case in March involved a family in the west of the village.
On the night of March 3, five members of the family hanged themselves at the same time.
When the villagers found them, the bodies were already smelly.
Since these cases were all very strange, Granny Gu took people to the local area to investigate after learning the news.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the village seemed to have lost their souls, and everyone became confused.
She invited the wizard from Shiba Mountain to come and see it.
The wizard said that the people in the village might have been cursed, and he tried to pick up the curse, but later he couldn't undo it, and then said that the people in the village might have been bewitched.
Grandma Gu tried to catch the poison, but she couldn't untie it, but the "things" on the villagers seemed to have been restrained to a certain extent, and everyone regained some consciousness.
It is precisely because of this that the people in Shibashan concluded that the locals must have been infected by some kind of strange poison, and set up a large array of witchcraft and poison to try to temporarily suppress the strange poison.
After hearing what Grandma Gu said, I couldn't help but ask: "What happens next?
The people from Jiuli Shibashan just left like that."
Granny Gu said: "They went back to their hilltop to visit Lao Si and look for ways to catch the poison."
I nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "In other words, the people in Jiuli Shibashan can't tell you anything about the situation in the village."
After hearing what I said, Grandma Gu laughed and said, "You are right to say that, but if those old diehards in Shiba Mountain hear such words, you will be in big trouble."
"While it's still dark, I plan to walk around the village and get a feel for it."
I quickly put the topic back: "Where is the woman named Xu being held?"
Grandma Gu pushed Lin'er's shoulders and brought her to me.
She smiled and said to me, "You and Lin'er should go together.
She is more familiar with the situation in this area.
I am old and my legs and feet are inconvenient.
I won’t mess around with you young people.”
I felt that Granny Gu had some bad intentions in pushing this girl to me, so I asked Lin'er, "Are you familiar with the situation here in the village?"
This girl looks relatively innocent and shouldn't lie to me.
Lin'er was still a little shy and didn't look up at me.
She just nodded and said, "I used to come here."
Since she is familiar with the local situation, take her with you.
Lin'er and I left the room one after the other.
When we were leaving, although I didn't look back, I could still vaguely feel Grandma Gu's malicious gaze.
It wasn't until we left the inn that Granny Gu couldn't see us anymore.

I breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lin'er, "When you came here before, did you ever feel that some places in the village were just not normal?"
Lin'er blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.
This is troublesome.
No matter how familiar you are with this village, if you don't speak, what's the use of me taking you with me?
I felt helpless for a while, and finally said what was in my heart: "Mother Gu, is she planning to bring us together as a couple?"
This was a bit blunt, Lin'er's head lowered, and now I can't even see the color of her face.
I continued: "Elders naturally have their own thoughts, but you don't need to take them too seriously.
Besides, we have never met before, and we were suddenly matched as a couple.
Don't talk about you.
I can’t get used to it anymore, even a grown man like me can’t get used to it.
Besides, I have someone in my heart and we can’t get along.”
Even though the words came to this point, Kelin'er still lowered her head and didn't say a word.
I couldn't help but feel a little irritable, and I was still saying: "I'm telling you, you really don't have to care about what Grandma Gu thinks.
Otherwise, you can tell me later what type you like, and I'll go back to Bohai I’ll help you look for it when you’re in the bay, and I’ll make sure you find one that satisfies you.”
Lin'er burst out laughing: "What do you mean by catching one?
It's like catching a piglet."
She was willing to speak, and I felt much relieved.
I also said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I used the wrong words.
How about you go to Bohai Bay some other time, and I will take you to choose.
We in Bohai Bay lack everything else.
There is no shortage of people.
But if you want to go to Bohai Bay, we have to solve the immediate problem first, and then we can have the energy to think about other things."
The smile on Lin'er's face opened wider, but she didn't say anything, she just stood there from a distance and smiled quietly at me.
To be honest, when faced with such a handsome woman, it seems difficult for a man not to be tempted.
Unfortunately, my vision has always been narrow.
As long as I fall in love with Shao Kewei, it is difficult for my eyes to accommodate another person.
Although I am not sure whether Shao Kewei Le is happy with me.
What is wishful thinking?
I am talking about it.
I smiled politely at Lin'er, then avoided her eyes, turned around and walked deeper into the village, when I heard Lin'er say in a small voice behind me: "You can't blame my mother-in-law.".
After a short while, she came to me with light steps.
I was quickly scanning the houses on the side of the road, as well as the occasional pedestrians walking by.
Lin'er slowly came over and said in a very soft tone: "There is an open space in the center of the village.
I heard from the locals that there is The ground is so hard that we can’t drive piles or build buildings.”
At that time, her lips were almost close to my ears.
I subconsciously distanced myself from her.
As soon as I took a step away, I felt a little hot in my stomach, but this might be an illusion, because it was just It appeared faintly for a moment, then disappeared
