Chef's Knife

Boss Luo spent a lot of money in the gambling house and finally lost a mess, even though Mr. Chu blocked the news on the scene.But as the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, after all, it was spread to the outside by those who cared, and it became a hot topic in the capital for a while.

Everyone said that Boss Luo was in bad luck and fell into the hands of a shameless villain with a black heart and a rotten liver. He was afraid that he would be squeezed until there was no dregs left, and this Baiweilou would become history from now on.

However, after three days, I saw that Baiweilou should be doing business, and there was no intention of closing its doors.Everyone had to speculate that it was Boss Luo who signed some kind of deal with that Chu thief to keep the restaurant alive.

"Heh, this Chu thief has a really big appetite! Such a big family property can be swallowed up at will, and it's really ugly to eat." The man in the navy blue brocade robe leaned against the window, "It's a pity that in the future this 'world's number one The first floor', I am afraid that the surname is not Luo, but Chu—"

"Your Highness Fifth, don't you think that the way he eats looks like an animal?" The young man in white shirt sitting opposite asked, nodding his chin.

"It's really... very similar."

The man in the navy blue brocade robe was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

"The same greed and gluttony, not satisfied, will be eaten to death one day!"

"Then again...the capital city is really not stable these days."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone talking in a low voice over there.

"Do you still dare to go out to fool around at night?" One of the friends who gathered together lowered his voice, "Have you heard that? Yesterday was the third one! The one who died was the son of Widow Qian on East Street—— The one with a birthmark! Drank home at night and didn’t come back all night... Oh, I found the body on the side of the road this morning! That look of death—tsk tsk, I’m sure you won’t be able to eat after seeing you for ten days! I didn’t lie to you , my cousin is working in the yamen, I heard him say..." The man whispered to several people's ears for a while, and finally scratched his chin, "Hey, I don't know what it does!"

"Wolf? Snake? 'Big Worm'? Even if there is, it's in the suburbs..."

"Maybe it's a man-eating monster! Maybe—"

"Bah, bah, bah! Don't mention it, the more you talk, the more infiltrating you will be."

Young master Zhou interrupted his companion's discussion with a sullen face, he raised his hand and put a peanut into his mouth.He forgot to chew when he was speaking and swallowed it raw. It got stuck in his throat and made him cough for a long time with a red neck.

"Damn it—drinking cold water will get stuffed between your teeth!"

He took a sip of wine and cursed, feeling very bad.It was just because he had done a small business with someone in the south before, and he managed to make a little money this year, but the person who partnered with him actually took the money and his share because he owed a loan shark Take the whole family and go for a sea trip on a foreign boat!

He was so angry that he jumped, but he couldn't ask for money.And the capital invested in the business at the beginning was obtained by secretly selling a few treasured antiques at home behind his father's back.Now that the matter is brought to light, the old man will inevitably be punished with family law, and how can he hold his head up in front of his family?

"Stinky old bitches!"

Young master Zhou scolded again in his heart, he had long thought that the yellow-faced woman at home was not pleasing to the eye, and took advantage of his natal family's influence to marry in and suppressed her everywhere.If it wasn't for the woman in charge who held the account book and didn't give him any spare money, why would he even steal the capital of his business?In other words, he went to the south to do business just to prove that he is not a waste who gnawed at his parents' family, and to give a look to the woman who keeps a straight face all day long?

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and his aggrieved heart was pulled into a ball. He felt that he was simply the most useless man in the world!

Young master Zhou decided not to go home tonight - anyway, he would be reprimanded by the old man and looked down upon by that yellow-faced woman.

After bidding farewell to his companions, he turned his head and went to Yihong Courtyard. The woman's soft body and gentle whispers were all he needed.He forgot those troubles, put his arms around a plump and beautiful woman, and plunged into the gentle country, dreaming and dreaming.

In the second half of the night, he came out of Yihong Courtyard on footsteps in a blunt manner, and burped loudly.A gust of wind blew outside, he gathered his clothes and walked slowly while leaning against the wall.He has always been a good drinker, but tonight he was really a little drunk.He was humming a little song out of tune, with a woman's lip marks on his face, and the shadows on the ground were faint in the moonlight.

Gradually, he felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

He walked forward in a daze, the wind made his body feel a little chilly.Until he passed a corner, he suddenly shivered for no reason, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

Shadow—this shadow is wrong!

He was a little sober from the wine, and the conversation he had with his companion during the meal inexplicably appeared in his mind.

—Have you heard that?Yesterday was the third one!

——The son of Widow Qian on the East Street, he drank all night and didn't come back!

No, no...

As he walked, he looked at the shadow on the ground in horror.

It was supposed to be his own shadow, but a bigger black shadow was superimposed on it.

Damn!

He began to panic, and his footsteps began to falter.He didn't dare to turn his head, he just wandered around in the streets and alleys blindly, trying to get rid of the shadow.

He bumped into a peddler carrying a shoulder pole selling supper. The peddler was taken aback when he saw him, and then the shoulder pole fell to the ground.

"Master, son, behind you..."

The string in Young Master Zhou's heart finally broke, and he turned his head slowly and stiffly with his head covered in cold sweat...

—Hey, I don't know what it is!

--Wolf?snake? 'Big bug'?

——Maybe it's some kind of man-eating monster!

No... I see it.

At the last moment before being torn into pieces, Young Master Zhou muttered to himself as if in a daze.

……

In the night alley, a bloody scene was staged here.

The late-night peddler ran for three streets and still could not escape the clutches. In the end, his brains were all over the ground, like steaming tofu brains in his shoulder pole.

"Ahhh-"

The screams of the women on the street resounded through the streets and alleys, the face smeared with makeup paled at this moment, and she collapsed powerlessly on the ground and was strangled by the throat.

"Please! Let me go... don't..."

The woman's head and severed limbs rolled to the front of the wonton shop which was about to close.

"Help!!!"

The wife who collected the stall turned her head and saw her husband's body.

Several guests who had paid for the meal and were about to leave witnessed the whole process, their feet were nailed in place and could not move.

"monster……"

The people present murmured, and everyone lost their blood on their faces.

"Daddy—" The alley filled with the smell of blood was silent, except for the cry of the little girl.

……

Surrounded by night, Luo Sheng walked into this quiet alley with a lantern.

There were already seven or eight corpses at the scene of the murder, and it may no longer be appropriate to say that they were corpses—there were only bones and remnants of flesh left.

The hungry 'monster' concentrated on gnawing on a still intact corpse, while the surroundings were completely silent, forming this absurd yet harmonious scene.

"Don't...go over."

The woman who lost her husband instinctively covered her daughter's eyes, and grabbed Luo Sheng's sleeve with her cold hands.She was delirious, but she still didn't forget to remind her.

Luo Sheng walked over directly.

The moon emerged from the clouds, and that ray of light cleared the so-called 'monster'.

Chu Yuanzhong's side face was reflected in the moonlight, he was stuffing a piece of torn liver into his mouth with bloody hands, swallowing it like a jujube.He sucked his fingers greedily, enjoying a rare feast in a dissolute posture.

More terrible than jackals and tigers are monsters that eat people; and what is more terrible than monsters that eat people?

The answer is, people who can eat people.

In the shroud of black mist, half are people, half are beasts.

"I found you, Taotie—"

Luo Sheng put down the lantern, and spoke with a relaxed tone as if facing a child playing hide-and-seek.He knelt down and wiped the brains off Chu Yuanzhong's cheek with his sleeve, with a very calm expression.

"I'm eating outside again."
