Chapter 83: Oil lamp

Although I have been used to such a scene, I have to say that this kind of picture appears in front of the eyes every time it is a challenge to the human nerve.
The hostess burned the pot in front of him and put the meat in the handle into the hot pot. The meat and the hot pot are in contact with each other, giving off a sizzling sound, followed by a taste of the meat. This taste quickly became a stench, Gu Longming's expression is very complicated, in the end is a secret relief in the heart - the hostess to do so, at least that the food they eat is not human flesh.
The meat rolled in the pot, the fat layer overflowed with ample oil, and the meat became dark, and was picked up by a woman with a spatula in her hand.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at the furnishings in the house and the woman's actions, and instantly understood what the woman was doing - she was using the body to simmer oil. And it seems that she seems to be the lamp oil in the house.
Sure enough, the transparent hot oil overflowed the iron pan, and the woman turned and picked up the lamp sill placed next to it, then put the hot oil and the wick into the little lamp.
Lin Qiu Shi remembered the oil lamp in their house, exactly the same as the woman's hand. There is no doubt that the production method of the oil lamp is almost the same.
The woman was filling the oil lamp, but the cry of the child was heard in the room.
Lin Qiu Shiyi saw her turn back to the inner room. After a while, she took out a small baby wrapped in red enamel.
Because of the angle problem, Lin Qiu Shi couldn't quite see the child's face, but when he saw the child's hand, he saw that the little hand had a weird cyan color on his face, and it didn't look like normal. Child's hand.
"Don't cry, don't cry." The woman swayed the child and calmed the child in her arms with a gentle voice.
Lin Qiu Shi did not dare to go too far, afraid of women seeing him from the window.
The woman squatted in the room full of oily taste, her tone of voice was extremely gentle, her body slowly deflected, and Lin Qiushi could just see the child in her arms.
Like Lin Qiushi’s guess, this is not a living child.
The face seems to be blistered for a long time, and it becomes bloated and pale. The eyes are twisted into a line, and the pupil is almost invisible. The huge blood red mouth is open and cries, and Lin Qiu Shi can clearly see the mouth. Fine teeth - no humans have such teeth. The child's cheeks are covered with cyan meridians, which exposes his non-human identity.
Lin Qiu Shi felt that his arm was firmly grasped by Gu Longming. He turned his head and found that Gu Longming was scared.
Lin Qiu Shi was trying to make him not so tight, and he saw that the hostess was actually heading in the direction of the door. He quickly turned around and took Gu Longming to hide in the corner. The two men were relieved until they saw the hostess leave the yard with the child.
"Would you like to go in and see?" Gu Longming, although looking scared, still proposed this proposal.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at the door and said, "Let's go."
Gu Longming said: "That... can I look at you at the door?"
Lin Qiushi said: "Alright." He did not force Gu Longming to go in with him.
Who knows that Gu Longming has been entangled for a while, but decided to go into the house with Lin Qiu Shi to check the clues, saying that if she really came back, it seems that the wind is not used, or it is safer to turn around and run.
The two entered the house along the half-opened door and began to quickly find clues in the house.
Because the hostess may come back at any time, Lin Qiu Shi did not dare to delay for too long, Gu Longming checked outside, Lin Qiu Shi entered the back room.
The inside room is not big, there is a small crib inside, but it is very strange that there is a shelf next to the crib. There are dense oil lamps on the shelf. Now, although it is daytime, these oil lamps are all burning. With.
Lin Qiu Shi was trying to continue watching, but he heard a subtle footstep from the door. He knew that the hostess must have returned. He turned and grabbed Gu Longming’s arm and motioned him to leave.
Gu Longming took the heart to the gods, and Lin Qiu Shi quickly left the house.
The two of them just walked to the corner, and the hostess pushed the door of the yard. At this time, the baby in her arms did not cry, but Lin Qiu Shi clearly saw that the baby’s mouth had a red circle. Like what you left after eating something...
"Hey, hey." The woman returned to the room. After she returned to the room, she looked around and had some suspicious colors on her face.
Lin Qiu Shi was not good, and he said to Gu Long: "Go!"
The two went along the wall and went straight to the exit of the yard.
They also lost their speed, because just after they had just left the door for about a minute, the hostess came to the door and put a heavy lock on the door of the yard. If they are a little slower, they will definitely be kept in the yard.
Even the calm Lin Qiu Shi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back." Gu Longming said, "It's almost noon..."
Lin Qiu Shi gave him a look: "Why are you still eating this way?" Wasn't it just a vomit?
Gu Longming said: "People are iron, rice is steel, and they don't eat hungry and panic. Besides, anyway, it is not human flesh. It seems that there is nothing to eat..."
Lin Qiu Shi helpless: "Okay."
Said that the two went to the place to eat.
When the two of them arrived, the other people had already eaten almost. Yan Shihe sat next to him and chatted with Xiaosha. Lin Qiuishi heard about their chats, probably about the customs and habits of the small town.
It seems that Gu Longming is really hungry. After playing a bowl of rice, he began to eat it.
Yan Shihe looked at them both and got up and walked to Lin Qiu Shi’s side. He said,
It’s so late to eat, the rice is getting cold.

Lin Qiushi said: "Well, it’s late."
Yan Shihe’s scorpion flashed, apparently not convinced Lin Qiu-shi’s excuse. It’s also true that in such a world, it’s impossible to oversleep.
However, Lin Qiushi does not care if he believes or not, even if Yan Shihe does not believe it.
"We have found new clues. Can you exchange them with you?" Yan Shihe sat down beside Lin Qiushi. "We are not enemies..."
Lin Qiu Shi looked at him: "What kind of clue?"
Yan Shihe said: "The clues about the river god."
Lin Qiu Shidao put down the chopsticks in his hand: "What do you want to know?"
Yan Shihe said: "I want to know where you have just gone and what you saw."
Lin Qiushi looked at him and didn't talk.
Yan Shihe smiled and said: "Well, in fact, Xiaoshao saw you go to the place where the hostess lived. Have you already entered it? I just want to know what is inside the house..."
"You can talk about it first." Lin Qiu Shi said calmly, "If you only use some nonsense to perfuse me, you may not find the clue you want."
Yan Shihe said: "Well, let's find a remote place." He looked at Gu Longming who was still working the planer. "It seems that what you see in the door is not terrible." appetite.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at Gu Longming and didn't know what to say.
Gu Longming finally cleared the rice, and a word of mouth said: "Can't waste!"
Lin Qiu Shi: "Is it full?" This product has already eaten three bowls of rice.
Gu Longming bites his teeth: "If you are full!"
Lin Qiu Shi: "..." is really wronged by you.
Then the four found a remote room in the yard and began to exchange clues after entering.
"I remember that you also entered the ancestral hall, right?" Yan Shihe said, "Have you seen the cards of the children above?"
Lin Qiushi said: "I saw it." He listened to this and immediately responded. "Do you mean those children are river gods?"
"Smart." Yan Shihe said, "According to the normal situation, children who have died will not be allowed to enter the ancestral hall. But they are different. Their identity is no longer a child, but a god."
For this reason, their positions are even higher than some of the elders in the town. Lin Qiu Shi suddenly, this is the reason.
"There are still some cards that don't know if you noticed it." Yan Shihe said, "The name on the board is called Yu Caizhe."
Both Lin Qiu Shi and Gu Longming shook their heads and motioned that they did not know.
Yan Shihe smiled and said: "You first said what you saw in the house. Then I will tell you about the matter of talent. After all, should both parties show some sincerity?"
Lin Qiu-Shi was a little addicted and said: "We saw the hostess here in the yard and put the body in the pot to fry - it was the body of the two people who disappeared last night."
Yan Shihe sat up straight: "Fried? What did she cook her body?"
The little light face next to it is hard to look like: "It won't be for us to eat!"
If the average person does not see the oil lamp, it is really easy to hear this passage.
Lin Qiu Shi smiled and did not explain, but asked: "Who is Yu Caizhe?"
Yan Shihe knows that he is in the opponent. Although this person seems gentle and not aggressive, it does not seem to be a good target. He slowly said: "Do you know, the male owner of this yard is also surnamed ""
Gu Longming did not understand: "Is this his tablet?"
"No." Yan Shihe said, "It is his son's tablet." He spread his hand. "I found the genealogy of their family in a certain room in the yard."
"Is the son of the hostess? So the son of the hostess has also become a river god?" When he said his son, Lin Qiu-shi remembered the baby in the arms of the hostess holding the pale, fangs. Is the baby the Yanshi River? Said Yu Caizhe? But he has become a river god, how can he return to the hostess?
Lin Qiu Shi frowned, feeling that he couldn't figure it out.
"What about the corpse? What is the hostess's corpse?" Yan Shihe said with a smile. "I don't believe that we are eating the body."
"Why don't you believe it." Gu Longming didn't have a good airway. "Did you eat a real body?"
Yan Shihe glanced at Gu Longming and said faintly: "Of course not."
I don't know why, Lin Qiu-shi actually has the feeling that he is lying. Of course, he did not say this feeling, but said: "We saw her licking the oil out of the body and then making an oil lamp."
Yan Shihe frowned: "Oil lamp? Is that what we usually use?"
"Yes." Lin Qiushi confirmed the question of Yan Shihe, "that is what we usually use."
Yan Shihe fell into a short silence and then spoke again: "So what does the oil lamp do?"
Lin Qiu Shi shook his head and motioned that he did not know.
Yan Shihe got the information he wanted and stood up and said goodbye to Lin Qiu Shi: "Then we left." He looked at Gu Longming, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes. "If you feel hungry, you can go back. eat."
Gu Longming did not answer anything. When he reached out, he narrowed his sleeve and revealed his muscle-filled arm. He sneered.
Yan Shihe turned and left, and his back looked a little flustered.
Lin Qiu Shi’s appearance was a bit funny.
"Mom. This person is a mentally handicapped person." Gu Longming snorted. "I know that I am bullying a poor, helpless female high school student."
Lin Qiu Shi silently removed his gaze from Gu Longming's muscle-filled arm.
The information exchanged with Yan Shihe is very useful. At least Lin Qiushi now has a clear understanding of the so-called river god. However, when they are still thinking about the relationship between the oil lamp and the river god, they find that Yan Shihe actually puts the oil lamp. The matter told everyone.
Yan Shihe said when he was having dinner, his tone was very dull.
Most people stopped the chopsticks because of his words. One of the two newcomers rushed outside the door and began to vomit. I didn't know what I thought of.
"All the oil lamps are made of oil in the body." Yan Shihe Road, "Although I still don't know what the oil lamp is doing, I still feel that it is more appropriate to tell everyone about this."
Gu Longming was very upset about Yan Shihe's behavior of spreading their clues, and he was still sullen. Lin Qiu Shi did not have an expression on his face, just quietly eating the food in front of him.
Others who heard the news, some people got up and hurried away, it seems that they want to throw the oil lamp directly.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at Yan Shihe, and it was just right with Yan Shihe’s gaze. Yan Shihe smiled at Lin Qiuishi and smiled.
"What exactly does he want to do?" Gu Longming’s dissatisfaction with Yan Shihe on the way back reached its apex. "He actually said this thing?!"
Lin Qiu Shi has already figured out the intention of Yan Shihe. "He just wants to know what the oil lamp does."
Gu Longming: "What do you mean?"
Lin Qiushi said: "In fact, in simple terms, the oil lamp will only have two good or bad uses, so Yan Shihe needs someone to try."
Gu Longming also understood the meaning of Lin Qiushi's words: "Do you mean that he deliberately let those people lose their oil lamps because they are afraid?"
Lin Qiushi said: "Yes."
Gu Longming: "But if... if the oil lamp is the condition to attract ghosts?"
Lin Qiushi said: "Do you remember the room we checked this morning?"
Gu Longming said: "Remember..." The room they checked was the room of the two people who disappeared last night.
Lin Qiushi said: "The oil lamp in that room is empty."
Gu Longming rounded his eyes and he did not remember this detail at all.
"Yan Shihe remembers this, so he pressed the treasure on the other side." Lin Qiushi slowly pushed the door open. "The world inside the door was originally a bet. Bo, throwing no oil lamps on both sides is 50%. The probability of death, he wants to find the correct answer, just try it with other people's lives." He said here, there was a little bit of boredom in his expression.
Gu Longming: "Then why don't we tell them..."
Lin Qiu Shi smashed the hoe, a little helpless: "Because we don't know the correct answer, what if the oil lamp is wrong?"
Gu Longming has nothing to say.
The two of them walked into the house, and their eyes fell on the oil lamps on their desks for the first time.
Gu Longming walked in front of the oil lamp and muttered: "Then we keep this?" He reached for the oil lamp and suddenly stunned. "Wait, have our oil lamps been replaced?"
Lin Qiu Shi: "Changed?" Lin Qiu Shi looked at the oil lamp and found nothing strange.
"Yes, I changed it." Gu Longming was very sure. "I don't believe that I can show it to you." After he finished this sentence, he put his hand into his pocket and licked it and pulled out an object. When Lin Qiu Shi saw what he had pulled out, he showed a sigh of color: "Wait, you should not be when we enter the door..."
"Yes." Gu Longming said, "Come on."
I saw that Gu Longming’s hand had an oil lamp, and the oil lamp was good. The lamp oil inside had solidified and presented a milky white paste. Undoubtedly, this oil lamp was when they first entered the yard, Gu Longming secretly took it out from the hostess's living room. Lin Qiuishi stared at the oil lamp. For a time, he did not know what to say.
"Oh, fortunately, I have a vision." Gu Longming is quite happy, "Let's see, is the color of our oil lamp different from this oil lamp?"
Lin Qiu Shi went over and found that the color was different. The difference is very small. The color of the oil lamp in their house is only slightly lighter. If they are not put together, Lin Qiu Shi really can't see the slight difference between the two.
"Right, right?" Gu Longming said, "I am not mistaken?"
"Look at it is not a mistake." Lin Qiu Shi took the light from Gu Longming's hand. "I want to go to other rooms to see."
He wants to compare other oil lamps.
Gu Longming said: "Let's get together."
When the two went out of the house, they saw the hostess wearing the red dress and did not know when they stood quietly in the center of the yard, facing their room.
Gu Longming has a dim sum and didn't dare to look at it.
Lin Qiu Shi noticed that her arms were holding a red quilt, which was the shackle she used to wrap the baby during the day. Only at this time, the cockroaches are empty...
Lin Qiu Shi and Gu Longming went to other rooms and found out after comparing the lamp oil.
The lamp oil in the room where the baby was crying was exactly the same as the lamp oil in their house, that is, the lamp that Gu Longming had stolen from the hostess's room.
And according to the incident that happened last night, this kind of lamp oil obviously attracts disasters, but it is safe to use the lamp oil made by human body.
However, although this is the reason, people still feel very uncomfortable. After all, they should use the grease in the same body to illuminate...
So this night, Gu Longming and Lin Qiu Shi did not light up. The two went to bed early and chatted in bed.
Gu Longming has a lot of words, and he will brag about it. When he talks about the interesting things he encountered in the real world, Lin Qiu Shi listened with gusto.
But before going to sleep, Lin Qiushi still got up and looked at the window.
I saw that it was dark outside, only two rooms were lit, one was Yanshihe’s room, and the other was an old man. The other rooms are all black and lacquered. Obviously either the owner of the room throws the lamp oil or keeps it.
Lin Qiu Shi returned to the bed, his eyes slowly closed and wanted to fall into deep sleep. There is something in the heart, but he can't sleep too much. The slight footsteps outside the window will wake Lin Qiu Shi from the shallow sleep.
Lin Qiuyi opened his eyes and saw the darkness of the full house. Only the light moonlight was projected from the window, and white light was sprinkled on the ground.
Lin Qiu Shi saw a row of figures across the window paper on the window. These figures are very short. Judging from the height and shape, it seems to belong to children. He saw these sounds and couldn't help but think of the children who appeared in the corridor last night and walked slowly with their shoulders.
The worst thing is that Lin Qiu Shi heard the sound of fingers rubbing on the window.
Because the woman poked a hole in the window last night, Lin Qiushi also used glue to fill the hole during the day. He was lying on the bed, his heart hanging high, and the subtle voice was like a rope of life. You may put on the neck of the person at any time, and then push the person down.
The sound lasted for a long time, and finally stopped. It seems that the outside thing found that the window paper was unbreakable, and slowly moved to the other room.
The test of Yan Shihe also had results. The lamp oil that the human body had formed had no harm, but it was a tool to protect them.
However, Lin Qiu Shi was lying on the bed, just wanting to relax, but from the back of the light, I saw a tall figure outside the window. It was the hostess in the yard. She stood tall, so she was separated by a thin layer. The glass stared into the house.
Lin Qiushi held his breath, but he suddenly remembered the oil lamp that suddenly lit up last night.
Why does the oil lamp suddenly light up, is there any other hidden death condition besides the oil lamp? Lin Qiu Shi is thinking this way, the oil lamp on the table suddenly burst into a dazzling light again.
