Chapter 72
A very dilapidated old house, everything is normal, but it has no human flavor, as if it has been vacant for a long time. There is a living room at the entrance, and then there are bedrooms on the left and right sides, and nothing else.
The furnishings are also very old, with homemade furniture and basically no modern things. There is also an earthen stove, which should be connected to the earthen kang inside.
Gou Po led them into the bedroom on the left, where a sumptuous meal was already placed, enough for the few of them to eat. Ye Tingbai felt very strange.
"Um...mother-in-law, do you have guests to entertain?"
Gou Po didn't turn her head, she just gave him a sideways look.
"This is just for you. Eat it and go to bed early after eating."
It was obvious that they had come up with a last-minute idea, and the village had been abandoned for a long time. Why would anyone prepare food in advance?
Broth, pork elbows of unknown species, stir-fried meat slices, stewed pork ribs, and a pot of meatball soup. The food on the table exuded a strong aroma. Ye Tingbai was able to restrain himself. In addition, the four children had already arrived at the table to enjoy the meal.
stand up.
Gou Po sat on the earthen bed and looked at a few people with a smile, looking...very satisfied.
Ye Tingbai really couldn't understand, but he really didn't dare to eat the things in front of him, but his inner desire continued to expand, and his hands began to reach out to the table non-stop. Ye Tingbai instantly switched personalities,
And told the sub-personality that he must not eat it.
The sub-personality has no resistance to delicious food. Logically speaking, when he saw the food on the table, he should be more able to resist it. However, the sub-personality behaved very strangely. He hated these foods and stood motionless.
The main character who shrank back gradually returned to normal, and he asked.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Sub-personality: "These foods feel disgusting. Is there something wrong with me?"
"It's not your problem, it's these things. Ordinary food, even if it's delicious, can't have this kind of appeal. What kind of materials are these made of? It's so fragrant."
But fortunately, the bitch watched the four children eating with gusto, as if she was satisfied, and didn't care about what Ye Tingbai was doing. All the food on the table was swept away by the four primary school students, not even a trace was left on the plate.
All the meat juice was licked clean by the little fat guy.
After the food disappeared, these few people returned to normal. Granny Gou did not raise any objections. She just told them to go to bed and they were not allowed to open the door no matter what they heard at night. There were only two rooms, so Ye Tingbai naturally lived with her four children.
At nightfall, the four children slept extremely soundly. One second they looked scared, and the next second they were already fast asleep. Ye Tingbai had already seen the village before entering the house. There was no electricity in the village and it remained relatively primitive.
In daily life, Granny Gou also lights kerosene lamps.
After a few people fell asleep, the house fell into an eerie silence without any movement. The main personality felt a little sleepy and fell asleep, leaving the sub-personality who didn't need any rest to keep vigil.
Even if Ye Tingbai doesn't control his body, he still needs to rest on time. When he is watching, it is more like watching a movie. It also requires energy consumption, but the sub-personality is different. He has not had much rest since his appearance, just like a
Taiwan's perpetual motion machine is completely tireless.
Occasionally resting together at night is because their bodies need to rest, not the sub-personality. Therefore, even when asleep, the sub-personality can maintain maximum vigilance. After all, his perception does not rely on the body's five senses.
midnight
The sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the living room outside the house. It was very light, not like a human or a dog. The main character was awakened and made no sound. The other children were sleeping so hard that the people outside the house seemed to be looking for something.
, fiddled with it for a while, then opened the door and left.
Ye Tingbai didn't dare to go out, so he had to poke holes in the paper window and look out.
The courtyard door was locked, all the dog saddles were gone, and not a single dog was there. The alter ego also said that the old lady had no heartbeat, at least he couldn't hear it. Combined with the dark spots on her face, she looked like a dead body.
Looking at this situation, the dog lady went out with her dog. Why are she going back to the cemetery in the middle of the night?
The cold moonlight illuminated this dilapidated yard, giving it an indescribable sense of dilapidation. The wooden door had long been corroded, and the vegetable patch next to it looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time. Only the area around the doghouse was still clean.
There is a thick layer of dust on the ground, which is very strange. You should know that this kind of floating dust should only be seen in a room with less air flow. After all, it can be easily blown away by the wind outside.
It was precisely because of these floating dust that Ye Tingbai could still see their previous footprints. He carefully distinguished the footprints on the ground and felt a little strange.

There are only five sizes of footprints. What about the footprints of dogs and dog-mothers?
They were making a lot of noise in the yard, but they didn't leave a single footprint. The more Ye Tingbai thought about it, the more chills ran down his back. At this moment, a blood-red eye blocked the paper hole, and the two of them were separated by a thin layer of paper.
The window paper looked at each other.
Ye Tingbai's adrenaline was soaring at that time. He raised a dagger in his palm and succeeded without even using the toilet for a second. He was so frightened that he stabbed it out. The dagger followed the hole in the paper and pierced the eye of the person outside.
Ye Tingbai's hand was even splashed with blood.
He didn't hear any screams, and the bloody eye outside had disappeared. He pulled out his dagger and saw that it was covered with foul-smelling black blood.
Sub-personality: "Looking at the color of the blood and the feeling of the blood exploding, this person has been dead for a month."
Ye Tingbai couldn't help but sigh.
"What the hell did these little ancestors choose?"
This world is a bit weird. There are no pollutants. The same goes for the dog woman. There is no pollutant smell on her body. There is nothing unusual except that she looks like a dead person. The weirdest thing is the suppressive power of this world on Ye Tingbai.
He has tried to create a "door" to get out of here, but it failed, which means he is now trapped here.
But Ye Tingbai didn't panic. He still remembered the advice Si Youxu gave him. He should not use brute force to deal with any pollutants, but should look for rules, master them, and use them.
Impatience is a taboo.
Moreover, the time flow rate difference between the spiritual world and the real world is at least dozens of times, so he doesn't have to worry about spending too long here.
He didn't go out. Maybe Gou Po's warning was true and he really didn't need to go out at night, so he lay down and fell asleep again.
At around six o'clock the next morning, it was already bright and several children woke up. Only then did they realize that something was wrong with them.
The little fat man rubbed his head.
"My head feels so heavy. Didn't we take pictures yesterday? Why did we just fall asleep?"
