"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

When he reached the front door of his house, Su Mi only managed to catch up with Lu Yi Bei who ran like a gust of wind, and just after two breaths, he complained.

"I remember when we were young, we running away everywhere, we have been some haunted places! At that time, you were having fun, right? How come you've become so timid now?"

"Besides, you run, just run! Carrying such a lump of iron, you do not mind tired! This seems to be a Taobao best seller house-holding device, right? But other people's are only palm-sized, why is this so big? Is it a custom-made model?"

Su Mi reached out his hand on the statue, but Lu Yi Bei pushed it away without mercy.

"Get lost! This is my lifesaver! It can't be desecrated by your dirty hands!"

Su Mi resentfully withdrew his hand and leaned against the edge of the door, looking at the statue of the Ming King, "Talking like it's real, even if this iron lump of yours is several times bigger than others, can't it really ward off evil spirits?"

"Tsk, who knows?" Lu Yi Bei shrugged expressionlessly.

It is not certain whether it can calm the house or not, but, just the effect of repelling evil, it is still quite good!

I just used it last night to kill a kaidan, why should I tell such a thing to a dead fatty?

"Forget it, I don't care about you!" Seeing Lu Yi Bei look like an old hen protecting her cubs, Su Mi waved his hand and said, "It's not impossible for me to take you in tonight, but ......"

said here, his face showed an obscene smile, a pair of black eyes looking up and down on Lu Yi Bei, just like in front of him is not a facial paralysis weirdo but a beautiful girl wearing school uniform.

Lu Yi Bei's hands vigilantly covered his chest and said, "What are you doing? I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to make me pay by my body?"

"Bullshit! You? If you getting cleaned up and thrown in my bed, I'm not even slightly interested!" Su Mi smiled weirdly and licked the saliva that spilled out of the corners of his mouth, "But since you're back, can't you help me improve the food? Since my mom went back home, I've been eating those takeaways that are worse than pig food every day, and I've lost weight."

Su Mi, like Lu Yi Bei, grew up in a single-parent family, the difference is that his mother, except for needlework, almost ten fingers do not touch the water, so he grew up, half of the eating, are solved in Lu Yi Bei’s home.

However, since the accident of Lu Yi Bei's father, he has not eaten Lu Yi Bei's meal for two years, and it was these two years that made him realize how big the difference between the take-out of restaurants and Lu Yi Bei family's cooking!

"I haven't eaten your food for a long time, I'm so hungry, I don't want more, just boiling fish fillet, spicy blood, spicy tofu, white meat with garlic, eggplant bean burger, fried pork kidney......"

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you ordering dishes?" Lu Yi Bei impatiently interrupted, "Cooking is fine, but you have to pay for the ingredients!"

"Of course, of course, as long as you are willing to do, money is not a problem!" Su Mi patted his chest and said.

"Tsk, just wait! I'll go buy some food first!" Lu Yi Bei rolled his eyes and said, "I guess since aunt left, I'm afraid you don't have any other ingredients at home except frozen food!"

At that, Su Mi's face showed a flattering smile, took out his wallet and handed it to Lu Yi Bei, "You know my cooking skills, the dishes I make can poison the whole street, so it's a waste to keep the ingredients!"

"There's no rush!" Lu Yi Bei said, and as he spoke his eyes looked around the store and finally landed on the guitar next to the cash register, "Give me your guitar bag!"

Su Mi scratched his head, puzzled, "You go to buy food, what do you need that thing?"

"Duang! Duang!"

Lu Yi Bei patted the statue of Ming King beside him, expressionless, "Carry it!"

Su Mi, "......" this kid used to look pretty smart! Now how he became so silly, even undoubtedly convinced of this thing?

......

Out of the peony street, go less than a kilometer towards east, and then through a small alley surrounded by old buildings, you will come to the gate of the market, before entering the door, far from the market can hear the noise of bargaining.

This farmers' market is quite old, at least since Lu Yi Bei can remember it has been located here, too much time has passed, the sign above the rusty iron gate has long faded, people also forget its original name, only remember it was built in 1996, so everyone will call it 9-6 vegetable market.

Through the gate, the air suddenly became muddy, mixed with the smell of rotten leaves and raw meat, can accommodate two or three people walking in parallel on the lane, although not so much sewage flowing, debris thrown, but also covered with stains.

"Buns, steamed buns, cakes! Freshly baked!"

"Grass carp, crucian carp! Grass carp and crucian carp just came from the reservoir this morning!"

"Home-grown vegetables! Would you like some? It's fresh, pure farm fertilizer and pollution-free, look at the leaves with dung on them. ...... eh! Little brother, don’t go!"

"Orthopedic water, powerful pills! Help you to be a real man again!"

......

It's noon, the vegetable market is full of all kinds of hawking sounds, hurried passers-by, sometimes stopping to pick ingredients, sometimes impatiently waving their hands away.

When I was a child, my father would shop for ingredients here, and Lu Yi Bei would often follow him, his big bright eyes looking around curiously, looking at the vegetables, chickens, ducks, fishes and crabs, as if he had walked into a huge garden of flora and fauna.

So, in this slightly dirty and noisy environment, Lu Yi Bei did not show the slightest bit of discomfort, but on the contrary, he also felt an inexplicable affinity.

However, this feeling of affection only lasted for a brief moment.

Along with a slight burning pain in the eyes, Lu Yi Bei's eyebrows instantly wrinkled.

In the air, a muddy gray breath flowed.

The fish and shrimp in the pond were talking furtively in a strange language, and the chicken and duck slaughter site in the distance came with an ear-splitting hiss, made people felt unsettling.

A thick grayish-black fog, seemingly gelatinous, coalesced around a pig's leg hanging on an iron hook, and a faint whisper came out of its mouth, as if it was begging for something.

......

Lu Yi Bei, "......" Again! It's okay to be a little frightened before, but now it's gotten to the point that people aren't allowed to eat properly?

How can I eat this? You'll feel guilty if you eat it, right?

"Brother, brother! Would you like some beef and lamb? Fresh, just slaughtered this morning!"

Lu Yi Bei turned around and saw the same fog as the pork leg wrapped around, also wrapped around on the lamb and beef in the stall behind him.

That's right! It's also a pig!

Lu Yi Bei expressionlessly looked at the boss who was smiling warmly at him, and then looked at the meat on the stall and said indifferently, "Sorry, no need!"

How can I believe you! Using specially treated pork to make fake beef and lamb, doesn't your conscience hurt?

Lu Yi Bei thought, turning around, his eyes inadvertently swept over a store selling frozen meat, and then froze in place.

It is a small storefront street, incandescent cold white light illuminated the entire store, the thin hunched, waxy skin boss leaning back in a recliner, shaking a fan and resting with closed eyes.

The old vertical freezer in operation emitted a low hum, through the thin frosty glass, you can vaguely see the fog inside, much thinner than the fog floating around the fresh meat stalls.

Those fog shapes are chickens and ducks, cows and sheep, and ......

Half a man!

Half a man from the top to the bottom, cut from the middle of the person, the section seems to be cut with a blunt knife, uneven, the outline is very clear!

The half man's features are black, lying face up on the edge of the freezer, messy long black hair has been hanging to the ground, every passer-by, its mouth will issue a muddled odd guttural sound.

"Not ...... not ...... not ...... not the other half ......"

He gazing at the human shape smoke, Lu Yi Bei’s stomach as if stirred by something, can not stop the convulsions, closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, before restraining the impulse to vomit, covered his mouth and ran away.

......

Peony Street, in front of the ancient brocade handmade Shu embroidery, after Lu Yi Bei left, Su Mi picked up his cell phone and kept calling, spreading the news of his return to the neighborhood who were missing Lu family's cooking.

"Hey! Liu! Yes, Lu Yi Bei is back! Come and eat!"

"Uncle Zhang, do you want to eat Lu's pork liver with pickled pepper? If you want to eat, come over at noon! Of course, it's cooked by Lu Yi Bei! How could it be me?"

"Lili, it's me, Su Mi! No, no, I'm not confessing this time, don't hang up yet! I want to tell you that Lu Yi Bei is cooking at my house today, so come and have dinner with me."

......

When Lu Yi Bei came back in a hurry, there were already several people waiting, sitting in front of the door of the ancient brocade embroidery, and when they saw him appear, they cast a look full of expectation, but after seeing him empty-handed, the hope was silenced.

Sumi stepped forward, poked at him, and whispered, "Why didn't you buy anything and come back? Did you know that I called all the neighbors here, and you wanted to be lazy and quit?”

"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Lu Yi Bei’s chest strongly heaving, rolled his eyes at Su Mi, "I, I'm not, I'm ...... am ......"

A thought of the human-shaped fog that he saw just now, Lu Yi Bei's face is again turned blue and white, hurriedly took out Su Mi's wallet handed back to him, "Forget it, you won’t believe it! Anyway, if you want to eat my meal, go buy the ingredients yourself!"

Su Mi scratched the back of his head, looked at a group of "wailing" neighborhood, and looked at the red-eyed Lu Yi Bei, muttered "I'll go buy it, I'll go buy it, why are you crying?" He took over the wallet.

Su Mi just walked out a few steps, then Lu Yi Bei called him.

"Wait!"

"What is it again?"

"Don't buy the frozen meat!" Lu Yi Bei said with a serious expression.

Su Mi turned his back to Lu Yi Bei and waved his hand, "Got it! All prepare the freshest for Chef Lu!"

"Also, don't buy the beef and lamb from stall 37!"

Su Mi stopped, two sturdy arms around his chest, tilted his head and looked at Lu Yi Bei, "What else?"

"Nothing." Lu Yi Bei said with no expression.
