As soon as he opened the door, he could feel the fresher air blowing into his face at dawn. He couldn't help but take off his scarf and took a few greedy breaths. He felt refreshed and as if he was attracted by something, he couldn't help but walk in. The bamboo door was behind him. It closed automatically, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This is an empty, square house with bamboo walls on both sides. It is about six or seven steps long and wide, and about two feet high. It is actually open-air without a roof, so it feels like being outdoors.
It's not completely correct to say it has no roof. It's also covered with a layer of white gauze, just like the roof of the arena, which provides both lighting and heat insulation.
The ground is a seamless wooden floor, just like a ring.
There are few furnishings in the house, only a futon beside the door. How can I sleep at night? Are you meditating on a futon like a Taoist priest?
Li Xiaoxiao murmured in his heart, and saw a squatting pit on the other side of the door, which should be a place for excretion. The strange thing was that there was no smell. He couldn't help but go up and take a look. There was a deep pit underneath, the entrance was narrow, and there was wind. I poured it down, no wonder it had no taste.
There are experts in the ghost club, and there are many ingenious designs. Li Xiao sighed in his heart. He counted before entering the house and found that there were exactly ten bamboo houses. In other words, including himself, there were ten contestants here.
He deliberately coughed loudly several times, hoping to get a response from the next door, but there was no response. He couldn't help shouting: "Is there anyone there?"
It was still silent. In the open air, no matter how small the sound was, it could still be heard. Could it be that he was the only one in the huge contest area?
Then I thought about it, the fat shopkeeper tried his best to trick me in, why would he let it go, so let's just let it go.
Li Xiao put down his trousers and stuffed the short knife inside. At least it was very safe here and he didn't have to be vigilant all the time. When he turned around, he found a water bag and a bulging cloth bag hanging on the back of the bamboo door.
This water bag is several times larger than the ones sold at water shops and can last for at least seven or eight days.
Then, what is in the cloth bag should be food.
Although the bamboo house is empty, it is fully equipped with food, drink, toilet, and sleep. It is thoughtful and considerate. Li Xiao curled his lips and then thought that he was here to risk his life, not to have fun. Before he got into the ring, he should cherish every moment now.
He put his hand into the cloth bag and looked for food to reward the five internal organs temple first. He was tired of eating cereals and cornbread. The food in the challenge area should not be bad.
As soon as he touched something round, smooth and cool, he took it out and saw that it was a fruit as big as a fist, with a green inside and a red color, and a sweet smell.
This is... Li Xiao pinched it in disbelief. There was a feeling of pulp under the skin. He couldn't help but bring it to his mouth and took a bite. A crisp and sweet taste that he had never tasted suddenly spread from the tips of his teeth to the entire mouth, almost continuously. The tongue has melted off. Is this an apple?
He was extremely pleasantly surprised. When he was literate, he knew that there were all kinds of fruits in the world, but it was a pity that he had never eaten them. Even vegetables were only eaten during festivals.
Now I can actually eat a whole apple. This is a rarity that is rarely seen in the ghost market. One one costs a sky-high price, and only the rich and powerful are eligible to enjoy it.
I didn’t expect such treatment in Dalui. Why didn’t you fat man tell me earlier?
At dawn, he chewed the apple like a reincarnated ghost. After a few bites, he almost ate all the core. Then he smacked his lips. He was a little annoyed that he had chewed the apple. Such a rare fruit should be cut into small pieces with a knife. Slowly. Taste slowly and carefully.
Just eat it, maybe there will be more.
Li Xiao held hope and touched the bag again, but couldn't find the apple. Then he took out all the remaining things: a book and a small porcelain bottle.
Li Xiao also had little interest in books, unless they were ancient books that could be sold for money. But now that he no longer scavenged, he put the book aside and picked up the small porcelain vase, which was only half the size of a palm, like a short mallet, and was green in color. White, it should be a good thing.
Something sloshed in the bottle. At dawn, I pulled out the cork, poured it into my palm, and rolled out a small crystal clear pill, about the size of a peanut, with a faint medicinal fragrance.
He poured it down again, and there was only one pill. He didn't know what kind of medicine it was, but since it was put with the apple, it must be edible. The fat shopkeeper finally recruited a competitor, how could he drug himself to death.
With this thought in mind, he tentatively brought the pill to his mouth and licked it. Hey, it tastes good, even more tempting than an apple.
At dawn, I calmed down and put the whole pill into my mouth. My intention was to slowly smack it like a candy bar. Unexpectedly, it melted in my mouth, and the fragrance moisturized my throat. Immediately, a wave of heat spread out from my stomach, filling my five internal organs and body. My whole body felt full as if I had just eaten a big meal.
Speaking of which, I can't even remember the last time I felt full at dawn. I only remember that it was a very satisfying feeling.
One little pill to keep yourself full? He couldn't believe it and told himself it was an illusion, but the satiety lingered and his stomach was full, but it didn't make him feel uncomfortable.
Li Xiao tried to find an explanation for this phenomenon in his own limited knowledge. He remembered that there were records in the book that in the early days of the famine, the government had launched a "famine relief pill", which was mainly used to treat hunger and lack of food in famine years. Not hungry for several days.
However, it was said that the Famine Relief and Food Replacement Pills were difficult to digest, and many hungry people died of distended stomachs, and then disappeared.
At dawn, I thought of another legendary pill - bigu pill, which is said to be a magical medicine taken by immortals. Taking one pill can make you full for more than a month.
Did you take Bigu Pills by yourself? This legendary miracle medicine must be more valuable than an apple. You can't even buy it with money. How can I be able to take one of it?
Li Xiao laughed at himself and thought, is a fighter who can die in the ring at any time worth such a big investment for Shui Xingshou?
But when he thought about the apple he just ate, he felt that this possibility might not be impossible. Forget it, why do you think so much? Just treat it as the decapitated meal of a death row prisoner.
At this time, for the first time in the morning, I didn't worry about what to eat and drink tomorrow. I just felt full, full of energy, and wanted to find someone to fight with.
As if someone had peeped into his thoughts, a round hole suddenly opened in the wooden floor. At dawn, his whole body was alert, and he instinctively leaned against the door to wait and see what happened.
But I saw a black shadow rising slowly from the entrance of the cave, and suddenly it was a ragged corpse demon with a yellow talisman on his forehead and his eyes closed. Isn't this scene exactly the same as in the battle arena?
Living with a zombie in a small space, once the other party breaks out, there is no way to avoid or escape.
At the break of dawn, I shivered, and before I could think about it, I turned around and took out my short sword from my robe.
Suddenly a cold voice sounded: "It's dawn, right? Put down the knife, take off your clothes, and prepare to train in vain..."
Although the voice was cold, Li Xiao still recognized who the other party was at first glance. The owner of Lan Kwai Fong - the courtesan Lam Ching-yee!
