Then Arlin said, ”Let's eat. We don't have to wait for her. She's not feeling well. Eat, pick up your chopsticks, don't be shy, just be home. ”
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of the green meat, and stuffed it into his mouth.
I felt sick to my stomach, but I picked up a cabbage and ate it slowly.
During the whole meal, I only ate the side dish of vegetables, other dishes, I did not touch. Bai Nuxin, on the other hand, wasn't the least bit restrained. She moved her chopsticks diligently, tasting all the dishes on the table. I wanted to tell her not to eat meat, but how could she listen to me? If I said there was something weird about the meat, she would have leaned over and laughed again. I thought again. Didn't the old Taoist say that this old lady wouldn't harm us? Although the meat looked a little strange, it shouldn't be poisonous. Even if he ate it, it wouldn't die, right? Thinking this way, I didn't stop Bai Xin.
The meal lasted about half an hour. Eating was originally a form of enjoyment, but now it became a torture to me.
Damn it, eating this meal is like eating a whip. The feeling is extremely unbearable. In the end, I really can't eat any more.
After dinner, it was already late. Bai Nuxin and I decided to leave.
Arlin and the old lady did not ask us to stay. They told us to be careful when we went back. It was night and there were a lot of thieves.
Coming out of this chilly house, I felt much better, like a person who had been diving for half an hour and suddenly breathed in fresh air.
When we were on the street of the South Pavilion, Bai Nanxin suddenly kicked me, rolled her eyes at me, and said, ”What happened to you tonight? Do you know how rude you were just now? ”
I said, ”What about me?”
”In this grandma's house, you are just like a nervous little mouse,” she said.
I laughed dryly a few times, thinking that if you knew you were eating with ghosts, you would be like that too, but then I thought that if I told her the truth, this little girl, Benoit, didn't believe there was a ghost in the world, she would probably scoff at me even more.
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. I took a look and saw that it was An Gui calling me.
”Hello, An Gui. What's the matter?”
An Gui chuckled and said, ”How do you feel?”
I knew he was asking me how it felt to have a meal with a ghost, and there was no place to let go, so I said, ”It's like beating you up, it feels great!”
When An Gui heard me say this, he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed out loud and said, ”You're not scared to the point that you piss your pants, are you?”
I said, ”If it was you, I think not only would you urinate on your butt, but you would also urinate!”
On the other end, An Gui laughed even louder. After a long while, he finally said, ”If it was me, I would definitely have eaten my fill. Haha, haha, little Nan, let me tell you a secret. That old granny is not a ghost!”
”What did you say?!” I shouted at once.
When I turned around to look, I saw that everyone on the street was looking at me as if they were looking at an alien. I then lowered my voice and said, ”Say that again!”
Bai Nuxin looked at me with a strange look in her eyes. I looked at her and smiled awkwardly, then ran to the phone.
At this moment, An Gui said, ”I say, that old granny isn't a ghost at all.”
I couldn't believe it. ”How did you know?”
”You told me that, fellow Daoist.”
I was stunned for a moment and was completely at a loss. Didn't the old Taoist tell me that the old lady was a ghost? Why did he say no now?
At this moment, the old Daoist's voice came over the phone. ”Don't speak nonsense, I never said that old lady is a ghost, I only said that she won't hurt you. She's an old lady, so of course she won't hurt you.”
Only then did I realize that this fellow had been playing me. Then, I recalled the scene where the old Daoist and An Gui came to my dorm to look for me. At that time, the old Daoist told me not to leak anything, and I should have known that these two scams were playing with me!
I nearly fainted. Why didn't I notice it back then? I even believed that these two fellows were bullshitting about the dumplings' stuffing and how they were going to eat them.
Now I finally understand why the old Daoist kept warning me not to attack the old lady, because she isn't a ghost at all. If I really do make a move, wouldn't I become a murderer?
I was immediately unhappy and felt cheated. That guy was really like a monkey. I immediately scolded, ”Where are you guys? Don't leave, I promise I won't beat you to death!”
The old Daoist said flatly, ”Come on, we're at the 'Home Taste' Dumpling Shop in the South Pavilion. We'll be able to find us by walking along the street to the right of the South Pavilion intersection.” Then he said, ”Gong Nan, you're not really angry, are you? Actually, I just wanted to test you this time. ”
I said, ”What the f * ck? You're obviously roasting me in a hotpot.”
The old Daoist continued, ”After this experience, you will definitely understand. In fact, as long as you have him in your heart, all ghosts and plants will exist. If you don't have him in your heart, then even if you really meet an evil spirit, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”Actually, I just wanted to help you control your fear.”
I said, ”Cut the crap. I'll go over right now. Don't leave!”
I'm so angry that I hung up. If I don't beat them up in the past, I'll be sorry for everything I've gone through tonight!
Just as I was about to look for the two scumbags, I thought of Benoit, whom I had been ignoring for a long time.
