Chapter 104 Cremation
Mrs. Baigu was meditating in the room. The layout of her room was simple, without any partitions or covers. She sat cross-legged on the bed, and the people outside the window could see it at a glance. They confirmed that she was in the room, lowered her head and whispered a few words, and began to look around the house.
I guess they were looking for me and Yunzhou and Mrs. Baigu accepted me as her disciples, and it was not convenient for others to know about it for the time being.
I deliberately avoided them and secretly set up a "qi" net, and when they were stepping on it, I poured "qi" into my body.
They noticed something was wrong, and could not find out the problem, so they vigilantly retreated back to the door and walked out of the wall like a chef.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, another short and fat man walked into the yard through the wall. He wore an apron around his waist, and he seemed to be a chef.
The man entered the yard with fear and looked left and right every step he took. His legs were shaking violently, his head was covered in cold sweat, and his fear was extremely high.
He should know what his fate was when he came in, either he had a ready-made corpse and he cooked or he served as a dish.
The last chef who went out must have said that there is no ingredients in the kitchen.
Those people came to check this morning, and there were indeed no bodies in the kitchen.
Then he would probably be a meal when he came over.
He walked to the kitchen with one trembling step and saw that there was no body inside. His legs suddenly became weak and he sat on the threshold.
I was wondering why he didn't escape. Just as he was guessing why he didn't escape, he moved and stumbled towards the front door.
I followed him quietly and found that he hit the wall and didn't wear it out.
He beat the wall, cried and howled, and tried to climb over the wall to climb out, but he obviously had no martial arts skills, and the wall was smooth and there was no place where he stepped on it. He scratched it for a long time without climbing up.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't even get out even if you climb up." I showed up at this time and advised him to give up escaping.
"Ah--" The man screamed, turned around and looked at me with a haunted expression.
"Stop calling, the person who wants to eat you is sleeping. If you wake her up, you will die faster." I discovered that the so-called rest of Mrs. Baigu means sleeping during the day, she will fall day and night, and the sun will wake up normally.
The man quickly covered his mouth and controlled himself not to make any sound.
"Are you a cook?" I didn't step forward, for fear of being scared, so I stood five meters away from him and asked.
He nodded hard, covering his mouth and unable to speak.
"I don't eat people, and I'm also trapped here... Prisoner, calm down, let's talk."
The man seemed to have recovered his thinking ability and looked at me seriously. He might realize that I looked like a normal person, not like a man-eating monster, so his emotions gradually calmed down.
But he was scared just now, and he seemed to be exhausted.
He sat under the wall and I stood and talked to him.
There were still a few hours before the sun set. The man told me that his name was Ashun, who was the owner of a pasta stall. The wonton soup he made was delicious. Neighbors on several streets knew that people lined up to buy the wontons he cooked every day.
The cook who ran out yesterday was his uncle and the chef at the ramen restaurant.
The "monsters" in this house like to eat human flesh, so the government hires chefs to come in and cook for the monsters every day.
It is easy to cook meat soup, but not many people dare to do this. Some chefs are scared on the spot when they hear it and cannot send them in to do things.
Moreover, this "monster" is moody, and the chefs who come in often come and go without returning.
At first, the government hired a serious chef, but later, I felt that the consumption was a bit too high, so I chose a stall master like them to "please" him.
The government's orders must be given or not, otherwise the whole family will be arrested and exiled to serve as a military force.
Ashun's wife and children were trapped under the command of the officers and soldiers, so he had to bite the bullet. Yesterday, his uncle had been imprisoned for running away privately and was detained to the frontier to repair the defensive wall in a few days.
He stretched his head and shrank his head. He had to take on the fatal errand. He had a chance to go out when he came in, but if he didn't come in, their whole family would suffer.
Mrs. Baigu
He has done many evil deeds. Since I have come, I will definitely stop her from eating people.
My name is Ashun. Don’t worry, he is here to cook ordinary meals today, but he may have to stay in the house for a few days.
The people outside didn't plan to let him go out, so his ability to pass through the wall was no longer effective.
He had no choice but to believe me. He wanted to kowtow to me, but I stopped him in time.
People in this world kowtow at any time, but as a modern person, I can never get used to it and always feel that I have to give people a red envelope.
I took Ah Shun back to the kitchen and took out the noodles and oil to him. He was good at making noodles. My cooking skills were too average. He could eat better in Yunzhou.
In the evening, Mrs. Baigu woke up and I waited at the door and told her that a new chef had come to the house and could cook for me and Yunzhou. This person had to be kept so that I could concentrate on practicing.
Mrs. Baigu nodded in agreement, saying that she had a good life in a few days and it would not be meaningful whether she could eat or not.
Her body is different from that of ordinary people, and I have never seen her like this before.
She was eager to teach me what she learned, and she had no intention of taking anything else.
Ashun stayed in the house to cook. Mrs. Baigu slept during the day and taught me to practice martial arts at night.
I will leave Yunzhou to Ashun to take care of him and let him eat three meals a day.
After nine days like this, no one was sent to inspect it.
Mrs. Baigu finally wanted me to use Ashun to try the marrow suction technique, but I refused and agreed to be her apprentice, but I never promised her to use this martial art to harm people.
She seemed unable to argue with me, looking like she was exhausted.
She did not eat people for nine days, which accelerated her death process. If she ate every day, she would probably last for about two months.
Now she has only lasted for nine days, and on the tenth night, she has completely lost her breath.
She taught me all she had learned throughout her life, including more than just a martial art of marrow absorption.
Seeing that I had the ability to remember everything I saw, she decided to instill everything she knew and knew.
Digestion problems can be kept for the future and I will slowly organize and absorb them myself.
Mrs. Baigu died, and Ashun breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Baigu told her that she would be cremated after her death, and she would not want to be buried here, nor would she have to send her back to her hometown. She just needs to find a high place, catch up with the windy sky, and lift her ashes.
She wants to go with the wind...
There was enough firewood in the kitchen yard. I put her body on the pile of firewood and poured it with oil. It was not easy to cremate with this kind of method and it took a long time to burn it.
There was smoke rising and floating above the house in the yard. I think people outside would definitely find it.
But they never made any noise and did not send anyone to check it out.
Ashun began to worry again, and his eyes looked alert to me.
He was afraid that after we had no food, I would use him as food.
I asked him if anyone had done anything to him before coming in. He had to use a special method when he could come in through a wall.
He said that the official sent him a small pill, and he came in after taking it.
