Epoch of Twilight

Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali walked into the yard.

At this time, the thin man saw that the sheathed long knife in Luo Yuan's hand was still stained with some fresh blood, his face suddenly turned pale, he stepped back hastily, and shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? money!"

Luo Yuan frowned slightly. Judging from the overreaction of the other party, it was obvious that there was chaos here!

He smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I said that we are not bad people, and the knife is only for self-defense. If we didn't have this knife, couldn't we walk out of the road around the mountain safely? The dozen mutants that Guangguang encountered along the way Rat, it will turn the two of us into bones on the side of the road."

The thin man looked suspicious, apparently disbelieving, but he answered yes again and again.

At this time, the middle-aged woman heard the movement, came out from the door with a kitchen knife, and screamed loudly when she saw this scene.

Luo Yuan frowned. The whole family was taken aback. It was obviously useless to say so many good words. His face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "I don't want to cause trouble. I don't mean anything else. I just want to stay here for a while. It's late, leave tomorrow morning. Tell her to shut up."

The thin man quickly grabbed the woman and dragged her aside, muttering non-stop. After a while, the middle-aged woman's mood improved a bit.

She forced a smile and said: "It turns out that there are guests at home, so you don't say anything. Come, come in, and sit down."

"You start cooking first, don't worry about it, I'll treat you here. By the way, add a few more dishes, two guests, I'll make a cup of tea." The lean man also echoed.

The middle-aged woman glanced at her husband worriedly, and entered the kitchen hesitantly.

The three walked to the living room, and the thin man quickly made three cups of tea.

Luo Yuan quietly used an identification technique, and seeing that there was no poison, he took a sip of peace of mind and said, "You don't have to be afraid, she and I are from Donghu City, and we are here to visit relatives this time. This knife is only for self-defense. I know it's dangerous out there."

"Yes, yes!" The thin man smiled bluntly, his eyes fixed on the dazzling weapon from time to time, appearing quite restrained.

Luo Yuan saw that the sky was getting dark, but there was no electric light in the living room, so he couldn't help but asked a little strangely: "Is there no electricity here?"

"The wire was bitten off by a mouse, and the power has been out for three days, and no one has repaired it." The thin man said carefully with a smile on his face.

"Is there still water?" Zhao Yali asked, she was sweating all over today, and her whole body was greasy. If she didn't have water to take a bath, she would feel uncomfortable sleeping at night.

"Yes, yes, there is cold water and hot water, and there is a water heater on the roof?"

The thin man was extremely guarded, Luo Yuan chatted for a while, then lost interest, the three of them sat at the table, drinking tea with their heads bowed.

Soon the meal will be ready.

The middle-aged woman quickly moved the food to the table. Although two dishes were added, the dishes were very simple. Except for a bowl of meat dishes, the rest are vegetarian dishes.

The middle-aged woman sat down and felt that the atmosphere was different. She glanced at the thin man reproachfully, and introduced in a nonchalant manner: "You two guests are welcome, the dishes are a bit crude, and now the dishes are hard to buy. They are grown in our own yard, and they are very fresh. This bowl is pickled dog meat. The dog is raised at home and killed a few days ago. It tastes very good, try it.”

"It's too polite, it's much richer than what I ate in Donghu City." Luo Yuan said politely with a smile.

"Why did you kill the dog? It's too cruel." Zhao Yali couldn't bear to look at the bowl of dog meat. She has a dog at home, and every time she leaves home, that dog will send her a long way, and is very attached to her. Seeing the family's dog being killed, she couldn't help worrying about Lao Huang in her family.

The middle-aged woman looked at Luo Yuan carefully, saw Luo Yuan's expressionless face, and explained with a sneer: "My husband was flustered seeing this dog grow bigger and bigger, and there were several mad dogs in the village that killed them all. People, we were also worried about accidents, so we killed the dog. Now there are no dogs in the village."

No wonder I didn’t hear the dogs barking along the way, they were all killed, but thinking about it, the existence of such creatures is always a hidden danger to the village. Although it is harmless to the owner, it is dangerous to other people, let alone keeping them. For such a huge beast, a lot of food was wasted, which was an extremely heavy burden in this period, and a large amount of meat could be obtained after killing it.

Compared with the two, it is more cost-effective to kill dogs naturally.

Thinking in his heart, Luo Yuan used an identification technique on the bowl of dog meat, and as the information came to his mind, his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Marinated Mutant Dog Meat"

"Material: mutant dog meat, salt"

"Rarity: White"

"Weight: 300 grams"

"Effect: Quickly recover from fatigue and enhance body immunity."

"Evaluation: This is a simple cooking of mutated dog meat, which contains a small amount of active energy."

He was slightly surprised that the food made by mutant creatures actually had this kind of effect. This kind of effect is subtle and generally undetectable. Fortunately, he used the identification technique, otherwise he would not know when he would discover the mystery .

This mutated dog is only white, which is only the lowest level of mutated creatures. He doesn't know what effect the flesh and blood of the light blue snake he encountered before will have, but he doesn't regret it much. The giant snake also swallowed a few people, and if he was really asked to eat it, he wouldn't know how to eat it, so he had to be careful in the future.

After saying a few words on the scene, the atmosphere became a little dull.

The husband and wife winked and communicated silently from time to time. Luo Yuan ate with his head covered, pretending not to see him. The dinner soon ended and the sky gradually darkened.

The woman stood up and said with a blunt smile: "There are no rooms upstairs, why don't you live downstairs? I will tidy up for you now, and the beds can be made soon."

"Yes!" Luo Yuan nodded, knowing that the other party was very alert, so he didn't force it.

The woman's expression relaxed, and her smile became more natural: "Qiyuan, can you bring two pairs of slippers and candles? If you want to take a bath, you can go to the bathroom downstairs." It can be seen from some places that this home is run by a woman. Calling the shots, the man is a boring gourd and doesn't talk much.

At this time, Zhao Yali suddenly pulled La Luoyuan away.

Luo Yuan was a little strange at first, but he quickly reacted and said, "I need to trouble you to add an extra bed. We are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, and a bed may not be suitable."

The woman's face was a bit confused: "Our house only has two beds, how about I get you a mat. Use cotton wool to cushion it."

"Alright!" Luo Yuan nodded, that's the only way to go.

After a while, the husband and wife vacated the side room and hurried upstairs.

Luo Yuan walked into the room, handed the candle to Zhao Yali and said, "You go take a bath first, I'll do it later."

It was pitch black outside, coupled with the unfamiliar environment, Zhao Yali was a little scared holding the candle: "How about...you wash it first?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Luo Yuan saw through her thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile, "Can I still wash with you?"

Zhao Yali gave her a reproachful look, hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and walked out of the bedroom in fear.

As soon as she walked into the bathroom, she closed the door immediately. She clutched her slightly jumping chest, and her heart was pounding. I was so anxious to urinate that I didn't dare to go to the bathroom. Let alone an experience like today.

She didn't feel anything with Luo Yuan before, but now that she is alone, she feels that every minute is a torment, for fear that some monster will come in from outside.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she didn't even want to stay here for a minute.

She took off her clothes, stood under the shower head, and washed them quickly.

When she was getting dressed, she hesitated. All her clothes had been lost with her luggage, and she hadn't changed clothes for a long time. The T-shirt and skirt didn't smell bad, but the underwear was a bit stiff, and there was a dark circle in the middle. map.

Her face was a little hot, and she seemed to have the urgency to urinate several times when she recalled the danger before.

It would be disgusting to wear again. Forget it or don't wear it, just be careful and you won't lose your clothes.

She put on her clothes again, feeling that her butt was so cold that she was not used to it. She opened the door of the bathroom and hurried back to the bedroom. She saw Luo Yuan holding a cloth strip and wiping the saber with a focused face. The fear in her heart was immediately suppressed. Dispersed without a trace.

"So fast! Then I'll wash it." Luo Yuan gently put down the saber knife, inserted it into the scabbard, and stood up.

"I'm done washing, come here quickly!" Zhao Yali pleaded, she didn't want to stay here alone for a moment.

Luo Yuan said helplessly: "I'll come right away, there is really nothing to be afraid of? If something comes in, you have to go through the gate, and I will come when I hear the movement."

"But I'm just afraid!" Zhao Yali sat on the edge of the bed. Said with a pitiful face, suddenly thought of something, quickly pressed down the hem of the skirt, and stood up.

"Just don't think about it. Most of the fear is to scare yourself. Just think about something happy, or play a game for a while. I'm going to take a shower." Luo Yuan got up and went to the bathroom. When he came back. Finding that the door was closed by Zhao Yali, and it was still locked inside, she knocked on the door with a headache.

"Who?" Zhao Yali's trembling voice came from inside.

"It's me, open the door." Luo Yuan said helplessly.

Zhao Yali opened the door, turned her head quickly, took a few quick steps, then jumped onto the bed and covered her head.

Luo Yuan closed the door, and seeing this scene, he felt speechless. He really couldn't figure out what to be afraid of: "As for it? Could it be that you don't sleep hot like this?"

"Not hot." Zhao Yali muffled.

"Are you all right, have I blown out the candles?" Luo Yuan took off his clothes and said.

"Don't blow it!" Zhao Yali was a little anxious, she lifted the quilt and said with her head exposed.

"It's only a short piece, and it won't last long. If you have to go to the bathroom later, there will be no candles." Luo Yuan glanced at the candle, and there was only a piece long from his thumb, which would obviously burn out soon.

"Come on, do you still have power on your phone?" Zhao Yali said.

"Why, there's still half of the battery, don't get me wrong. Judging from the situation in Zhujiacun, you probably don't have electricity there, and I still have a mobile phone." Luo Yuan guessed the other party's thoughts without thinking, and quickly dismissed the other party's suggestion. idea.

He blew out the candle, and the room was suddenly completely dark.

The room was silent, compared to the noisy croaking of frogs and insects outside, as well as all kinds of weird intrusive sounds. A small room seems to isolate two worlds, giving people a sense of loneliness forgotten by the world.
