Chapter 46 [I live longer than the author]
After Liang Zhi stepped into the village, he found that the terrain was dangerous. The river flowing down from a high place passed through the village, and dilapidated concrete houses were displayed in front of him.
Liang Zhi pointed to the field and said, "It's a bit strange here, no one is up to farm at this time?"
Shen Quan was more careful than Liang Zhi. He noticed that those fields had been abandoned for a long time. He didn't point them out, but said calmly: "Go in and have a look."
Liang Zhi remembered that the system said that if the protagonist is not rescued in time, he will be assimilated by the murderer's evil thoughts and become a villain who endangers society. But one thing is that Shen Quan is the protagonist, and his life is guaranteed in the early stage.
As a reader, Liang Zhi felt that the plot of Lily Flower was not enough to watch compared to Hu Pingfan. Shen Quan would not encounter any major crisis here, but his fate was worrying as cannon fodder.
With his bag on his back, he walked in next to Shen Quan.
Shen Quan walked to a house and knocked on the wooden door.
After a while, the wooden door slowly opened a gap, revealing the man's face hidden in the shadows, looking at the two vigilantly and asking: "People from the city? What are you doing here?"
There was strong repulsion in his words, Shen Quan smiled slightly and said, "Hello, big brother."
After saying hello, Shen Quan looked at Liang Zhi.
A question mark appeared above Liang Zhi's head.
The system couldn't bear it anymore and said: "He wants you to talk to a man and lower his vigilance."
oh!Liang Zhi suddenly realized, he hurried over, and said with a bright smile: "Hello, brother! We are donkey friends. After walking for a few days, we want to stay with you for one night. We will pay for it!"
Liang Zhi has a baby face, and he looks harmless to humans and animals when he smiles, which can make people lower their vigilance.
The man was moved by the last sentence, he said: "500 yuan for one night."
"500? Hotels in the city don't need this price for one night, why don't you grab it?" Liang Zhi was startled, he didn't expect this man to dare to open his mouth.
The man said in a rough voice, "If you don't want to live, get out!"
Liang Zhi was aroused by the other party's attitude, and he pointed the middle finger unceremoniously: "There are so many residents here, do you think we have to live here!"
Shen Quan stood aside, watching Liang Zhi and the man arguing endlessly, with complicated emotions, his original intention was to let Liang Zhi persuade the other party to let them stay.
But 500 a night did pass, Shen Quan suspected that the other party did not want them to stay and said so on purpose.
Shen Quan said: "We stayed here."
The two quarreling stopped immediately, and Liang Zhi couldn't believe it: "Brother Shen, give me some more time to bargain."
Shen Quan grabbed Liang Zhi's arm and dragged him to his side, and said in a low voice, "Shut up! I asked you to come to bargain for me?"
Only then did Liang Zhi suddenly remember the purpose of their trip.
The man did not expect Shen Quan to agree, especially when the latter handed over five hundred yuan bills, he hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
After confirming that it was genuine, the man opened the door and let the two in.
The room was very dark, with only a ray of light coming in from the window. There was only a wooden table and four chairs inside.
The simplicity of this illusion reminded Liang Zhi of the interrogation room in the police movie, filled with a sense of depression.
There was still a smell of dust in his breath, Liang Zhi subconsciously held his breath, and didn't even bother to hide his disgusted expression.
Shen Quan looked normal, he asked the man, "Where do we live?"
The man pointed to a direction and said, "That room is yours, you can stay for as long as you want."
They originally said they would only stay for one night, but now the man became surprisingly generous.
Liang Zhi rolled his eyes when he heard this. Normal people would not want to stay for a second when they saw this kind of living environment.
There was no door in the room, and it was only covered by a long cloth. Shen Quan lifted the cloth and walked in. Inside was a bed, about one meter wide.
Seeing this, Liang Zhi rushed out again, arguing with the man: "This is only one bed, how can we sleep two people?"
The man was sitting on the chair at this moment, staring at the wall in a daze, completely ignoring Liang Zhi.
Shen Quan's voice came from the room: "Execute Liang forget it, a squeeze at night is enough."
Squeeze... As if thinking of some scenes, Liang Zhi blushed and re-entered the room. Shen Quan had already made the bed. He said it was tidying, but he actually put the original quilt under the bed.
Shen Quan said: "You don't need to ask him for anything, he can't give it to you."
Liang Zhi sat on the bed, he could already see the condition of the man's house, he said: "Brother Shen, why do we have to live in his house, wouldn't it be better to change it?"
Shen Quan said: "As long as he is willing to collect money, we can buy information from him, and this man lives alone, so we can not be known about our coming here for the time being."
Liang Zhi gave a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of Brother Shen! I will listen to you."
Shen Quan, who heard Liang Zhi's praise for the first time, always felt strange.
The system is numb anyway.
It was noon, and Liang Zhi, who was feeling hungry, was about to take out biscuits from his backpack to satisfy his hunger. At this time, the long cloth was lifted, and the man said, "It's time to eat."
Liang Zhi and Shen Quan looked at each other, and they walked out together.
Looking at the dishes on the table with no oil or water and two bowls of dry rice, Liang Zhi said that this was not surprising at all.
Liang Zhi was picky in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical. When he sat down and was about to eat, Shen Quan held down his hand holding the chopsticks.
Shen Quan asked the man, "Are there any ingredients in the kitchen?"
The man was about to say no, when Shen Quan handed over 500 yuan, he changed his mind and said, "Yes."
Shen Quan bent his lips and said, "I bought those ingredients, and I want to cook by myself."
The man accepted the money, at this moment Liang Zhi raised his head in confusion and asked, "Brother Shen, why do you cook for yourself?"
Shen Quan seemed to be full of affection, but in fact he pinched Liang Zhi's cheek, and said softly to the grinning face, "I'm not doing this for you, who told you to only eat the food I cooked for you?" .”
Liang Zhi was in so much pain that he could only whine.
The man on the side watched the "intimate" interaction between the two, frowning and showing a strange expression.
Shen Quan then took Liang Zhi with a sad face to the kitchen to cook. The man picked up the food on the table after seeing the two had left, and dumped all the food into the trash can.
The kitchen is full of old kitchen utensils, even firewood is needed to light a fire, Liang Zhi doesn't even know modern kitchen utensils, he can only watch Shen Quan busily busy in the kitchen.
He suddenly said: "Brother Shen, is the food that man cooked poisoned?"
Shen Quan's hand holding the spoon paused, surprised that Liang Zhi could see it.
Liang Zhi wasn't asking about Shen Quan, he was just analyzing in idleness: "That man is obviously so stingy but cooks for us, and he doesn't have his share, so it looks like there is a conspiracy."
Shen Quan and Liang Zhi deduced in different ways. The former just saw that the man had bad intentions early on. He said, "Since you think the food is poisonous, why did you act like you wanted to eat it just now?"
"Because I haven't thought of this just now." Executive Liang said confidently.
Shen Quan: "..."
Shen Quan once again reviewed himself for letting Liang Zhi live.
