hearse drift
Chapter 36 Feast
Everyone sat around the stove, the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhu Yicheng threw a piece of firewood into the hearth, watched the fire flicker, and heard the slight crackling sound of the firewood under the burning of the fire, as if a person was being burned at the stake. Dying moans.
When the last wave of people who explored the villa returned, the husband of the couple by the fire stood up and asked, "How is it?"
The head of the five people who came back shook his head: "It's not good, let alone people, the whole house can't even see a ghost, who knows who prepared this table."
Just as he was talking, someone covered his mouth and let out a soft cry.
"Look at the wall! What is this?"
Fang Li turned his gaze to the wall in front of him, and saw a row of black characters appear out of thin air on the snow-white wall.
"Welcome all guests to Rose Island."
The words on the wall are automatically changing: "Next, everyone will enjoy a seven-day and seven-night vacation on the island. After seven days, there will be a boat to take you away. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner. The six keys on the table represent There are six rooms on the second floor, you can choose by yourself. I wish you a pleasant trip."
There was an impudent yellow-haired boy in the team. Seeing this, he shouted loudly: "Hey! Who are you? Why don't you dare to come out to meet people?"
The writing on the wall did not answer his question, but disappeared on its own, and the white wall returned to its original state.
"So, our identity is tourists visiting the island?" The yellow-haired boy sat on the chair and scratched his hair with an irritable expression. "Who the hell would come to such a place where the birds don't shit?"
A man with a beard said, "It's rich."
Zhu Yicheng cast his eyes on Fang Li after hearing the words.
Fang Li: "..." I'm not, I don't have one, it's just other rich people, I just like to stay at home and sleep.
Bypassing this topic, since the words on the wall said that it prepared the meals, everyone simply sat around the dining table and prepared to have dinner.It’s still the same sentence, it’s better to be a hungry ghost than to be a hungry ghost. Although the word is also something of unknown origin, at least I know who prepared the meal in front of me——I can only comfort myself like this first.
The bearded man put his chopsticks down on a plate of fish with a constipated expression on his face, and when he put the fish in his mouth, his expression changed, and he immediately performed a real fragrance scene.
"Damn, this fish is so delicious! The meat is too tender and smooth."
The others stretched out their chopsticks towards the plate of fish dubiously upon hearing the words, and as soon as they dipped the chopsticks, their expressions became as enjoyable as those of the bearded man.
Someone soon said that the beef on the table was also good, and the roast chicken and goose were also delicious, fat but not greasy.
Only the six members of Xie Baiyuan's team sat by the stove without moving.
Hearing the compliments on the food over there, Zhu Yicheng curled his lips and said, "I'm hungry, can I eat those dishes now?"
He has a big appetite, and the young man gets hungry very quickly. When he saw a table of roast chicken and goose, his mouth watered enough to flood the Huangpu River.
Xie Baiyuan sat with Fang Li, next to the stove, leaning half of his body on Fang Li's body, roasting himself to make him warm, not only not hungry, but even a little sleepy.
Facing Zhu Yicheng's small eyes full of longing, he casually spit out two words: "Eat."
After Zhu Yicheng got the permission, he was as excited as a 150-pound child, and was about to fly towards the dining table, but Xie Baiyuan added in a flat tone: "Try not to touch meat dishes."
Before Zhu Yicheng had time to complain, Zhao Xiaotong, who also regarded flesh as life, had already spoken out for him: "Is it okay to take a bite?"
Xie Baiyuan: "Just eat."
That's what he said, but his expression clearly said "I'm not responsible if you eat to death".
Zhu Yicheng: "..." I'd better be a vegetarian.
Fang Li gently pushed Xie Baiyuan with his hand, and called him to go to the dining table for dinner.
At the dining table, other people were dividing up the food on the plate as quickly as the clouds rolled up. Zhu Yicheng and Zhao Xiaotong chewed the green vegetables resentfully.
Xinxin was still obedient as always, sitting next to Gu Feng, she would eat whatever the adults gave her.
Fang Li gestured to Zhu Yicheng: Look, why are you not as good as a six-year-old girl?
Zhu Yicheng's eyes were full of tears: But this dish is really unpalatable, woo woo woo.
Fang Li frowned. Indeed, the plate of green vegetables in front of them tasted not only to make people wonder whether the chef had Parkinson's disease when cooking, so he added so much salt to the vegetables.Those salt grains didn't even melt away, Fang Li picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, feeling that what he was eating was not vegetables but salt.
He tried a few more vegetarian dishes in disbelief, but without exception, there was either too much salt or too much chili, or even a drop of oil, which tasted like chewing gum.
Fang Li secretly tugged on the sleeve of Xiao Huangmao next door and let him have a bite of green vegetables.
Xiao Huangmao chewed the vegetables a few times and swallowed them as usual, Fang Li asked, "How does it taste?"
Little Huangmao: "It's delicious!"
Fang Li let go of him with a complicated expression, and turned his head to talk softly with Xie Baiyuan.
"Could it be that these meat dishes have affected their taste?" Fang Li guessed in a low voice. He didn't think these people had such a heavy mouth, and they said it was delicious to a piece of vegetable leaf that was sticky with salt.
"It's very likely." Xie Baiyuan frowned again and warned again: "Don't eat too many vegetarian dishes. We have biscuits in our bags. You can eat them when you are hungry at night."
Fang Li nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and said that fortunately they had food reserves.Although the taste of compressed biscuits is not very good, but they are well prepared, and it is not a problem to last for half a month.
After a meal, the mood of the people at the table was polarized.
Except for the few of them in Fang Li, the rest of them showed a look of satisfaction after eating and drinking.
Fang Li observed it, and among the remaining ten people, the three girls ate the least, probably because of their small appetites.
The bearded man ate the most. He ate boldly and unrestrainedly, almost monopolizing the roast goose in front of him.
The second is the pregnant woman with a big belly.
The plates on the table were all empty. The bearded man sucked the last mouthful of soup into his mouth, touched his round belly and said, "Should we discuss room allocation now...cough cough cough cough."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to be choking on something, pinched his neck and coughed persistently.
Someone next to him wanted to pat him on the back to help him relax, but he threw it aside with his thick arms.
Soon, everyone realized that something was wrong. The bearded man's complexion had turned from red to purple, and his hands were no longer on his neck, but were waving forward as if calling for help.
The dinner plate on the table was knocked over, the soup was splashed, and someone in the crowd screamed.
"He, does he seem to be strangled by someone?"
The bearded man stared fixedly at the speaker, as if he was saying something with his eyes.
However, he didn't have a chance to speak again, and within a few seconds, his kicking legs stopped moving, and his neck tilted and fell on the chair.
This person seemed to have choked to death on the last mouthful of soup.
Fang Li's heart sank, because almost the moment he saw the bearded man choked, he remembered the first line of that nursery rhyme.
"Ten little soldiers, went out to fight teeth; unfortunately they choked their throats, and only nine remained out of ten."
Does this mean that death has already begun?
The others didn't know about this level of death conditions, but they couldn't help but panic when they saw their companions who were alive and kicking one second before saying they were cold the next second.
Of the three girls in the team, two had already begun to cry, and the other looked older. He calmly dragged the corpse aside, and then cleaned up the broken tableware on the ground.
Xie Baiyuan watched blankly, and when she finished cleaning, Xie Baiyuan said the topic that the bearded man had talked about before: "Allocate the room."
No one noticed when the six keys on the table changed to five, and then silently changed back to six.
Fang Li glanced at Xie Baiyuan secretly, seeing that his expression was not fluctuating, he couldn't help giving him a thumbs up in his heart.
A man in the team immediately echoed: "Yes, we can allocate freely, and we can choose who we want to live with."
He looked a little anxious, and after saying this, he realized it himself, so he sat back and looked at the people next to him without making a sound.
When Fang Li saw it, he knew in his heart that this person should have entered the dungeon with two or three acquaintances just like them.
However, his suggestion was approved by everyone, and soon, everyone spontaneously divided into groups.
Fang Li naturally slept in the same room with Xie Baiyuan, Zhu Yicheng was with them, and Zhao Xiaotong was with Gu Feng and his daughter.
During the grouping period, there was a small episode. The foreigner named Jenny came over again and asked Fang Li if he wanted to sleep together.
When Xie Baiyuan heard the word "sleep", his expression was quite indifferent, and he looked like he was going to punch Jenny in the face at any moment.
Fang Li forced a smile, his desire to survive made him resolutely reject Jenny's invitation, and told Xie Baiyuan that it must be due to the cultural differences between the two countries that Jenny's words were not standard.
Xie Baiyuan snorted coldly: "He should start learning Chinese in elementary school."
Fang Li: "Yes, yes, you are right."
When choosing the key, Fang Li, a European who was always lucky, was pushed out.
Fang Li hesitated between the six keys, and finally closed his eyes and took the third one intuitively.
Zhao Xiaotong and the others drew the room that Xie Baiyuan opened earlier, which was a little far away from them.
Fang Li was about to open the door when he saw a golden head protruding from the next door.
"Hi, Fang Li." Jenny smiled, and the little freckles on the bridge of his nose looked cute.
Before Fang Li could speak to him, Xie Baiyuan quickly opened the door with the key, pulled him into the room, and closed the door with a bang.
Fang Li looked at Xie Baiyuan with some amusement, and found that this person was really childish sometimes.
Fortunately, the room corresponding to the third key was the only triple room, with three beds placed side by side, looking like three neatly arranged coffins.
Zhu Yicheng sat tremblingly on the edge of the bed, one of them didn't grasp his strength well, and rolled over from the raised bed frame with a plop.
Lying on the coffin bed, he asked faintly, "Are we really going to sleep in this thing tonight?"
Xie Baiyuan lay down on the innermost coffin bed without any psychological burden, "You can still sleep on the floor."
Zhu Yicheng weighed it left and right, and felt that there were cold floor tiles under his feet, and it was too cold to lay on the floor. Although the coffin bed looked like a coffin, he could sleep comfortably anyway.
Fang Li expressed his admiration for his optimism.
"Nine little soldiers, holding candles until midnight; they couldn't answer early in the morning, so only eight of the nine remained..." Xie Baiyuan said, "Go to bed early tonight."
"En." Fang Li nodded with a serious face, thinking that fortunately they have information about this dungeon, otherwise it would be difficult to avoid the death condition.
Perhaps he was in a daze for too long, Xie Baiyuan tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Li came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Xie Baiyuan: "Do you want to come and sleep with me?"
Fang Li originally wanted to say no, but seeing Xie Baiyuan's expression was wrong, he suddenly thought of Jenny who had just ran to him to die, so he swallowed the word "don't want" and said dryly without conscience: "That's good." ah."
Xie Baiyuan immediately bent his eyes with a smile, as if he was pleased by Fang Li's expression, and looked very happy.
And Zhu Yicheng, who had witnessed the whole process, lay on the bed and rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, can I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Baiyuan said, "No."
Zhu Yicheng: "..." So what kind of triple room do you want!Isn't the room for two just enough to satisfy your thoughts?
When the last wave of people who explored the villa returned, the husband of the couple by the fire stood up and asked, "How is it?"
The head of the five people who came back shook his head: "It's not good, let alone people, the whole house can't even see a ghost, who knows who prepared this table."
