Summoning Infinite Movie
Chapter 30 On the Road
In the evening, a round of orange sunset dyed the clouds in the sky red.
Wearing a casual sportswear, Jiang Jibei stood on a dusty concrete road.
On his left is a canal about three meters wide and more than ten meters long. On the other side of the canal is an endless field, which is divided into neat squares by various crops.
On the right are rows of fences and earthen houses, and you can see the curling smoke coming from the yards of each house.
is a village.
Looking up from Jiang Jibei, there are lush hills nearby, and endless green hills in the distance, half-hidden behind the mist like a shy girl.
He quickly judged that this should be the south.
The difference between the northern and southern peaks is more obvious. The southern mountains are mostly covered with green plants and have beautiful scenery, while the northern mountains are jagged with strange rocks and towering dangerous peaks.
If the background is set in a southern village, what kind of movie will it be this time?
Suddenly, a strange smell floated into Jiang Jibei's nostrils.
He looked down and found a huge lump of fresh cow dung at his feet, still emitting steam.
Jiang Jibei: "..."
"This is the southern countryside."
A familiar voice came from behind.
Jiang Jibei's heart skipped a beat.
He turned around and saw Gu Chi, who was also wearing sportswear, walking towards him under the twilight.
No.
It should be Chi Xian.
After being tested in the last movie, Jiang Jibei has almost decided in his heart that this so-called "k" is Chi Xian.
The only difference between K and Chi Xian is the completely opposite personality.
Other than that, no matter in terms of voice, appearance, or even the rare blue eyes, they are all exactly the same as Chi Xian's.
But Chi Xian didn't admit it, and Jiang Jibei didn't find conclusive evidence, so he could only pretend not to know for the time being.
Knowing, but not knowing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jibei smiled.
"K," he didn't show the emotional ups and downs on his face, but the content of the words he said was sharp, "What is your identity this time? An experiencer? Or an actor?"
"It's a staff member." Facing the gentle knife hidden in Jiang Ji's northern dialect, Chi Xian did not deny his identity.
He knew that Jiang Jibei had already guessed it.He didn't need to hide any more, but he couldn't admit it either.
Chi Xian stopped in front of Jiang Jibei, and said calmly, "From this film onwards, I will be your exclusive film assistant."
"Is it randomly assigned?"
"No, I took the initiative to apply."
Seeing Chi Xian answering so frankly, Jiang Jibei raised his eyebrows and smiled in surprise.
But he was very sensible, and didn't ask why the other party applied for it. Chi Xian must have his reasons for doing so.
"Since you are a film assistant, then you should teach and clear up your doubts." Jiang Jibei looked at the empty road and changed the subject, "Are we the only two here?"
"Other people should have appeared in other places. This time, the experiencers of the same movie didn't come in together." Chi Xian replied, "In order to enable the experiencers to experience different types of movie plots more deeply, you all have a different experience in each movie. The identities in the movie are different, sometimes they may be bystanders, sometimes they may be protagonists, and they may even become villains.”
"I think it's for the convenience of collecting data samples for you." Jiang Jibei said sarcastically, "Isn't the so-called assistant to monitor us at close range?"
Chi Xian acquiesced to Jiang Jibei's guess.
Having said that, it's time to accept it, and Jiang Jibei didn't intend to argue with Chi Xian.
He looked forward, and suddenly found a coffin shed made of long bamboo poles and striped plastic sheets in the yard of a family in front of him.
"Go there." Jiang Jibei raised his chin and nodded in the direction of the coffin, "That family is doing funeral things."
"Ah."
They walked side by side towards the house where the coffin was set up.
There is a lot of loess in the countryside. Even if the cement road is paved, the road is covered with thick loess.
Before they had walked a few steps, their shoes were also stained with dust and became dusty.
The courtyard door of the family who was doing funeral work was wide open, and before they approached, they heard voices coming from inside.
Jiang Jibei and Chi Xian stopped at the door and looked inside through the courtyard door.
The courtyard is a two-story self-built house. The wall of the courtyard is made of red bricks, and the plaster is not even scraped. There are firewood piled up against the wall, and there are hoes and other farming tools. There is a car parked beside it. motorcycle.
There is a coffin shed in the courtyard, and three or four tables are placed under the coffin shed, and each table is full of villagers. Everyone is chatting and playing mahjong, which looks very lively.
"Hello, excuse me." Jiang Jibei stood at the door, raised his voice, and called into the yard, "Can I ask you for a drink?"
His voice caught the attention of a male villager in the courtyard.
The male villager looked at Jiang Jibei, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes again and again, and replied enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, of course."
After speaking, he turned and entered the house.
Soon, the male villager came out of the house again and walked towards them with two bowls of water: "Come on, if it's not enough, I'll pour it for you."
He speaks Mandarin, but with a strong accent of the Guiliu area dialect.
This is Guangxi.
Relying on his accent, Jiang Jibei made a judgment in his heart, and then silently looked at the male villager.
His complexion is very dark, a kind of tan from working in the fields under the scorching sun all year round. From his vicissitudes of life, he looks about 40 years old, but his actual age should be younger.
When the male villager handed over the water bowl, Jiang Jibei noticed that his hands were rough, with many palm lines, thick knuckles, and dirt hidden between his nails. He was a real farmer.
"Thank you." Jiang Jibei took the water bowl, smiled politely at him, turned to Chi Xian who was beside him and said, "You can also drink some water to quench your thirst."
"Thank you." Chi Xian took another bowl.
He knew that Jiang Jibei had a lot of eyes, and it was a small revenge to let him, as a staff member, drink first, so Chi Xian didn't hesitate and drank up the water in one go.
After Chi Xian finished drinking, Jiang Jibei raised his eyebrows and drank the water.
When returning the bowl to the male villager, he pretended to ask casually: "Hey, I see that there is a coffin shed in the yard. Is your family...?"
The male villager smiled innocently: "My family is in the mourning hall, and my father passed away."
Jiang Jibei showed a regretful expression: "Then we came at a really bad time."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Chi Xian.
Chi Xian paused for a moment, then took out the wallet from his jacket pocket in a considerate manner, and obediently put it in Jiang Jibei's palm.
A Xian was still as obedient as before.
Jiang Jibei hooked the corner of his lower lip, turned sideways, opened Chi Xian's wallet, and counted out a few banknotes from it.
He returned the wallet to Chi Xian, quietly stuffed the money into the male villager's hand, and said in a low voice, "Do as the Romans do, since I drank your water, I must give you the money."
"Hey, hey, no, no, no." Unexpectedly, Jiang Jibei would make such a move. The male villager turned pale with fright, and repeatedly declined, "You are guests, so why would anyone ask you to pay for them! We people in Guangxi don't do this. planted!"
Sure enough, I guessed right.
"Old cousin, my ancestral home is also from Guangxi, so I can be regarded as half a fellow." Jiang Jibei smiled, but without hesitation, he pushed the money over, "My fellow, you must be polite."
Jiang Jibei was close, and the male villager was surprised immediately: "You are also from Guangxi? You don't look like it!"
"My grandfather's house is over there." Jiang Jibei smiled and took the opportunity to stuff the money into his hand.
"This..." The male villager looked at the money in his hand, showing a troubled and happy expression, "Oh, you two youngsters, it's really..."
Seeing him start to waver, Chi Xian stretched out his hand cooperatively, and patted the male villager's shoulder in relief: "Take it, old cousin, they are all fellow villagers. When your family encounters difficulties, we should help, it's your business It's our business, your father is our—"
"It's over." Jiang Jibei reminded in a low voice beside him.
Chi Xian stopped his voice at the right time.
Parts of southern Guangxi border Vietnam, and in some places there is only one protective line, and residents of the two places frequently travel.In addition to neighboring Southeast Asian countries, some dialects and folk customs also overlap or are similar.
Chi Xian wandered in Southeast Asia for many years when he was young, and he is quite familiar with the customs of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou.
Guangxi people are warm and hospitable. If a family wants to sweep the tomb or hold a funeral, in order to make the grave of the deceased look less deserted, distant relatives, neighbors, classmates and friends will take the initiative to help.
Therefore, they offered to help keep the spirit at this time, not only not being obtrusive, but also quickly building relationships and gaining the favor of the other party.
"Then I won't be polite." Seeing what they said, the male villager shyly put the money into his arms with a smile on his face, "If you don't mind, you can stay and have a meal! My family will stay for three consecutive days. Day and night, prepare good wine and good food, there are plenty of them!"
"Is it okay? Will it bother you too much?" Jiang Jibei deliberately showed a embarrassed expression.
The male villager immediately said: "No, no! You can eat whatever you want! Eat for a few days if you want!"
Hearing this, Jiang Jibei quietly blinked at Chixian.
Chi Xian understood, and answered immediately: "Since this is the case, then we must stay and help old cousin to watch the spirit together."
"Ah, thank you so much." The male villager looked at them gratefully, "By the way, my name is Wei Ye, you can just call me Lao Wei."
"Wei" is one of the common surnames in Guangxi.
"My name is Chen Ji." Jiang Jibei said.
Coincidentally, "Chen" is also a common surname in Guangxi.
"My name is Gu Chi." Chi Xian said.
Jiang Jibei glanced at Chi Xian, and Chi Xian smiled at him.
whispering sound.
Jiang Jibei rolled his eyes at Chi Xian from an angle that others could not see.
"Okay, okay." Wei Ye quickly went to the side to bring two stools, and told them to sit down, "Sit down! You sit down first! I'll get you something to eat! You wait!"
As soon as Wei Ye left, Chi Xian turned to look at Jiang Jibei with a smile in his eyes: "You can really fool me."
"You're not bad either." Jiang Jibei licked his lips at him and sat down.
Chi Xian laughed and sat down.
"I'm not lying." Jiang Jibei's eyes fell on the hall, and he saw a straw mat on the ground, covered with a white cloth, and the white cloth bulged the outline of a person. It’s really from Guangxi, so it’s half of my ancestral home.”
Otherwise, the film system would not have put him in Guangxi.
Before feb distributes invitations, it should conduct a certain background check on each invited experiencer.
Jiang Jibei can now basically determine the tone of this film.
The background is set in an overhead Guangxi countryside. Judging by the surrounding environment and setting, the time is about 100 years ago, after the millennium.
This scene should be a folk horror film.
"En." Chi Xian smiled, then called again, "Old Cousin?"
Jiang Jibei glanced at him and gave him a "sneer".
After a while, another group of people also appeared at the door and accosted the family.
Hearing the movement, Jiang Jibei and Chi Xian raised their heads at the same time, and it happened that this group of people also looked towards them.
With just one look, the two sides quickly confirmed each other's identities.
They are all experiencers with assistants.
"Ah, there are so many rare guests at home today!" Wei Ye stood at the entrance of the hall with a plate of cloud cakes, turned his head and shouted at the corpses and mourning hall in the house, "Old man, did you see that! God has mercy on you, take care of you, shout So many people come to see you off! You can go on the road with peace of mind!"
After yelling, he stuffed the plate into the hands of the female relatives next to him, and greeted them enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, today is too late for you, don't eat snacks, let's eat!"
Hearing Wei Ye's words, the villagers who were playing mahjong got up to work one after another, tidying up and serving dishes.
For a while, the courtyard was full of uproar and excitement.
Everyone took their seats under the coffin.
Jiang Jibei and others sat at the same table with another group of experiencers who came later. The table was very low, and everyone could only sit on lower benches and eat with their waists bowed.
At this time, a villager brought two pots of overcooked meat to their table.
Jiang Jibei took a look into the pot. The two pots of meat were delicious in color and constantly emitting an attractive aroma.
Probably because he was afraid that they would see outsiders, after greeting the other villagers, Wei Ye came to their table: "Eat more! You are welcome!"
A girl picked up a piece of meat from one of the pots and asked curiously, "What kind of meat is this? It smells so good."
"This is lychee dog meat. It's delicious." Wei Ye said enthusiastically, "Eat it, eat more, it's delicious!"
"Ah? Dog meat?!" The girl shook her hands, the chopsticks were not clamped firmly, and the piece of meat fell back into the pot. "No, no, I don't eat dog meat."
"It doesn't matter. It's not a pet dog. It's a native dog raised by our family. It was fattened up and killed to eat." After finishing speaking, Wei Ye kicked the little yellow dog lying on the foot of the table.
The little yellow dog let out a mournful "Wow", quickly got up, and hid away with its tail between its legs.
When she heard that it was Wei Ye's own dog, the girl shook her head again and again: "No, no, I really don't want to eat it."
Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Wei Ye pointed to another pot of meat regretfully: "Oh, I know you people from other places don't eat dog meat, so why don't you eat that one, that one is good for you."
"What is this?" The girl observed carefully and found nothing unusual. Driven by the smell, she picked a piece of meat curiously.
She put the meat in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and showed a surprised expression: "Well, this is delicious, tender, like chicken."
"It's Dry Pot Toad Guai." Wei Ye said, "Is it delicious? You can't eat it outside."
"What is toad crutch?" the girl asked.
"Hahaha, it's a tortoise." Wei Ye showed a simple and honest smile.
The girl was about to pick up the second piece, when she heard this sentence, her chopsticks froze on the side of the pot: "..."
Except for Jiang Jibei and Chi Xian, everyone beside them showed expressions of wanting to vomit but not daring to vomit.
Jiang Jibei smiled: "It's Mrs. Tian who teased you."
"Let's make a joke with my sister." Wei Ye said with a smile, "It's delicious, eat it."
Even so, no one dared to use chopsticks easily.
At this time, a female family member came out of the kitchen with a large basin in both hands, and shouted as she walked, "Here comes the sandworm porridge! Come and drink!"
"Sandworm?" Jiang Jibei heard a boy next to him whimper in despair, "What kind of dark food is this?"
Soon, the dishes were served one by one.
In addition to lychee dog meat, dry pot toads and sandworm porridge, there are also stir-fried sweet potato leaves, fried grasshoppers, roasted voles and self-made ant medicinal wine...
Looking at these special dishes, Jiang Jibei showed a thoughtful expression.
People in Guangxi do not eat this way every day. It seems that in order to achieve the effect of hunting for novelty, the movie mixed all the special foods from all over Guangxi.
The experiencers couldn't accept it for a while and whispered.
"My God, how can they eat some weird things..."
"Is it that poor to eat insects..."
"Sandworms are quite expensive." A boy wearing glasses said suddenly, "Isn't it specially used to entertain guests, this family has a heart."
Jiang Jibei happened to hear this sentence. Hearing this, he took a look at this boy.
The boy pushed his glasses, his expression normal.
Wei Ye was very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to give them a bowl of porridge: "Drink more! This sandworm porridge is very nourishing! It is very expensive!"
Everyone stared at the long worms in the bowl, showing uncomfortable expressions.
Jiang Jibei picked up the bowl, blew on the heat, and took a sip of the sandworm porridge.
Everyone looked at him in horror.
"He drank..."
"It's disgusting and scary..."
Seeing that Jiang Jibei drank, Wei Ye asked expectantly: "How is it? Is it good?"
Jiang Jibei nodded and said with a smile, "It's delicious, this sandworm is good."
"Brother Chen Ji, you still know the goods." His words successfully made Wei Ye happy, "If it tastes good, drink more!"
Chi Xian next to him picked up a chopstick and fried the grasshopper, put it into his mouth without changing his face, and praised it like a model: "It's delicious."
"Do you like eating cicada chrysalis? I'll ask my wife to fry them for you later!" Seeing the second person who knew the goods appeared, Wei Ye was even happier.
"Okay." Chi Xian smiled, "Is there any jam?"
"There must be! If you like to eat, I will ask them to give you more! The jam at the entrance of the village is the most delicious!"
"He likes to eat." Chi Xian turned his head in the direction of Jiang Jibei.
Jiang Jibei glanced at him.
"Okay, okay, eat first, eat more." Wei Ye patted Chi Xian's shoulder in relief, then turned his head to look at the others, "You guys eat too, you're welcome! I'll go greet other guests first! "
As soon as Wei Ye left, a boy at the table asked, "What is jam? Is it applesauce or something?"
"It is a special sour plum sauce in Guangxi, and the locals call it jam." Jiang Jibei explained casually, "It has a sweet and sour taste, and it is generally used as a condiment for barbecues and fried skewers."
"You know so much, it's as if you're on the hook." The girl who didn't eat dog meat said enviously.
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Jibei poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and smiled absently.
He sensed it.
This video is on point.
So, this is what 0003 said, the background system calculated based on the previous data, is it suitable for their movie?
But, for now, the others don't seem to understand anything.
Is this movie calculated based on the data of each experiencer, or is it only for him?
At this moment, there was a quarrel behind Jiang Jibei.
He put down his chopsticks and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
Others also noticed the movement over there and turned their heads to look.
In the corner, an old woman dressed plainly was scolding a skinny boy: "Why are you crazy!"
The boy stood with his back to them, and said in a weak but firm voice, "I don't eat toads."
The old woman scolded: "I have some for you to choose? You can eat what they cook! What qualifications do you have to choose!"
But the young man was very stubborn, and would not compromise on anything: "I can eat anything, but I don't want to eat toad."
Jiang Jibei noticed that in the face of this scene, the surrounding villagers showed expressions that they were accustomed to.
"Don't worry about it." A villager at the next table turned around, picked up a piece of meat, and ate it happily. "The mage is scolding her little apprentice again."
The other villagers also turned their heads and continued to eat while talking and laughing.
Master?
Jiang Jibei raised his eyebrows.
If the deceased died normally, ordinary people would not invite a mage to come to do it.Unless the deceased is not going peacefully, the family members will ask the mage to come to the door for salvation and send the deceased on the road.
The cause of Wei Ye's father's death is very likely to contain some clues.
Seeing that the young man refused to let go, the female mage was furious.
She picked up the spirit banner at the side and threw it on the young man fiercely: "Are you itchy? I tell you to pick it! I tell you to pick it! Are you ashamed? Are you ashamed!"
Wei Ye hurried over to smooth things over: "Oh, forget it, Aunt Ba, why are you getting angry with Wazai again? Xiaowazai's family is ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"
The boy stood on the spot with his back to the crowd, clenched his fists and said nothing.
Jiang Jibei put a few pieces of dog meat into the bowl and stood up suddenly.
Chi Xian looked up at him.
Holding the bowl in one hand, Jiang Jibei walked straight behind the young man, and said, "Brother, if you don't want to eat, don't eat it. Then eat something else, dog meat or not?"
Hearing his voice, the boy turned his head abruptly.
When Jiang Jibei heard it, the experiencers behind him gasped.
He himself was startled suddenly, but he still kept a calm expression on his face.
The boy had a frightening face.
The distance between his eyes is wide open, and the two bulging eyeballs seem to be not on the same plane, giving people the feeling of a flounder.
Most importantly, the boy's face was covered with dense blisters and acne, which looked very disgusting.
A bit like leprosy skin.

Wearing a casual sportswear, Jiang Jibei stood on a dusty concrete road.
On his left is a canal about three meters wide and more than ten meters long. On the other side of the canal is an endless field, which is divided into neat squares by various crops.

"Go there." Jiang Jibei raised his chin and nodded in the direction of the coffin, "That family is doing funeral things."
"Ah."
They walked side by side towards the house where the coffin was set up.

There is a coffin shed in the courtyard, and three or four tables are placed under the coffin shed, and each table is full of villagers. Everyone is chatting and playing mahjong, which looks very lively.
"Hello, excuse me." Jiang Jibei stood at the door, raised his voice, and called into the yard, "Can I ask you for a drink?"
His voice caught the attention of a male villager in the courtyard.
The male villager looked at Jiang Jibei, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes again and again, and replied enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, of course."
After speaking, he turned and entered the house.
Soon, the male villager came out of the house again and walked towards them with two bowls of water: "Come on, if it's not enough, I'll pour it for you."
He speaks Mandarin, but with a strong accent of the Guiliu area dialect.

"My grandfather's house is over there." Jiang Jibei smiled and took the opportunity to stuff the money into his hand.
"This..." The male villager looked at the money in his hand, showing a troubled and happy expression, "Oh, you two youngsters, it's really..."
Seeing him start to waver, Chi Xian stretched out his hand cooperatively, and patted the male villager's shoulder in relief: "Take it, old cousin, they are all fellow villagers. When your family encounters difficulties, we should help, it's your business It's our business, your father is our—"
"It's over." Jiang Jibei reminded in a low voice beside him.
Chi Xian stopped his voice at the right time.
Parts of southern Guangxi border Vietnam, and in some places there is only one protective line, and residents of the two places frequently travel.In addition to neighboring Southeast Asian countries, some dialects and folk customs also overlap or are similar.
Chi Xian wandered in Southeast Asia for many years when he was young, and he is quite familiar with the customs of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou.

"Then I won't be polite." Seeing what they said, the male villager shyly put the money into his arms with a smile on his face, "If you don't mind, you can stay and have a meal! My family will stay for three consecutive days. Day and night, prepare good wine and good food, there are plenty of them!"
"Is it okay? Will it bother you too much?" Jiang Jibei deliberately showed a embarrassed expression.
The male villager immediately said: "No, no! You can eat whatever you want! Eat for a few days if you want!"
Hearing this, Jiang Jibei quietly blinked at Chixian.
Chi Xian understood, and answered immediately: "Since this is the case, then we must stay and help old cousin to watch the spirit together."
"Ah, thank you so much." The male villager looked at them gratefully, "By the way, my name is Wei Ye, you can just call me Lao Wei."
"Wei" is one of the common surnames in Guangxi.
"My name is Chen Ji." Jiang Jibei said.
Coincidentally, "Chen" is also a common surname in Guangxi.
"My name is Gu Chi." Chi Xian said.
Jiang Jibei glanced at Chi Xian, and Chi Xian smiled at him.
whispering sound.
Jiang Jibei rolled his eyes at Chi Xian from an angle that others could not see.
"Okay, okay." Wei Ye quickly went to the side to bring two stools, and told them to sit down, "Sit down! You sit down first! I'll get you something to eat! You wait!"
As soon as Wei Ye left, Chi Xian turned to look at Jiang Jibei with a smile in his eyes: "You can really fool me."
"You're not bad either." Jiang Jibei licked his lips at him and sat down.
Chi Xian laughed and sat down.
"I'm not lying." Jiang Jibei's eyes fell on the hall, and he saw a straw mat on the ground, covered with a white cloth, and the white cloth bulged the outline of a person. It’s really from Guangxi, so it’s half of my ancestral home.”
Otherwise, the film system would not have put him in Guangxi.
Before feb distributes invitations, it should conduct a certain background check on each invited experiencer.
Jiang Jibei can now basically determine the tone of this film.
The background is set in an overhead Guangxi countryside. Judging by the surrounding environment and setting, the time is about 100 years ago, after the millennium.
This scene should be a folk horror film.
"En." Chi Xian smiled, then called again, "Old Cousin?"
Jiang Jibei glanced at him and gave him a "sneer".
After a while, another group of people also appeared at the door and accosted the family.
Hearing the movement, Jiang Jibei and Chi Xian raised their heads at the same time, and it happened that this group of people also looked towards them.
With just one look, the two sides quickly confirmed each other's identities.
They are all experiencers with assistants.
"Ah, there are so many rare guests at home today!" Wei Ye stood at the entrance of the hall with a plate of cloud cakes, turned his head and shouted at the corpses and mourning hall in the house, "Old man, did you see that! God has mercy on you, take care of you, shout So many people come to see you off! You can go on the road with peace of mind!"
After yelling, he stuffed the plate into the hands of the female relatives next to him, and greeted them enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, today is too late for you, don't eat snacks, let's eat!"
Hearing Wei Ye's words, the villagers who were playing mahjong got up to work one after another, tidying up and serving dishes.
For a while, the courtyard was full of uproar and excitement.
Everyone took their seats under the coffin.
Jiang Jibei and others sat at the same table with another group of experiencers who came later. The table was very low, and everyone could only sit on lower benches and eat with their waists bowed.
At this time, a villager brought two pots of overcooked meat to their table.
Jiang Jibei took a look into the pot. The two pots of meat were delicious in color and constantly emitting an attractive aroma.
Probably because he was afraid that they would see outsiders, after greeting the other villagers, Wei Ye came to their table: "Eat more! You are welcome!"
A girl picked up a piece of meat from one of the pots and asked curiously, "What kind of meat is this? It smells so good."
"This is lychee dog meat. It's delicious." Wei Ye said enthusiastically, "Eat it, eat more, it's delicious!"
"Ah? Dog meat?!" The girl shook her hands, the chopsticks were not clamped firmly, and the piece of meat fell back into the pot. "No, no, I don't eat dog meat."
"It doesn't matter. It's not a pet dog. It's a native dog raised by our family. It was fattened up and killed to eat." After finishing speaking, Wei Ye kicked the little yellow dog lying on the foot of the table.
The little yellow dog let out a mournful "Wow", quickly got up, and hid away with its tail between its legs.
When she heard that it was Wei Ye's own dog, the girl shook her head again and again: "No, no, I really don't want to eat it."
Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Wei Ye pointed to another pot of meat regretfully: "Oh, I know you people from other places don't eat dog meat, so why don't you eat that one, that one is good for you."
"What is this?" The girl observed carefully and found nothing unusual. Driven by the smell, she picked a piece of meat curiously.
She put the meat in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and showed a surprised expression: "Well, this is delicious, tender, like chicken."
"It's Dry Pot Toad Guai." Wei Ye said, "Is it delicious? You can't eat it outside."
"What is toad crutch?" the girl asked.
"Hahaha, it's a tortoise." Wei Ye showed a simple and honest smile.
The girl was about to pick up the second piece, when she heard this sentence, her chopsticks froze on the side of the pot: "..."
Except for Jiang Jibei and Chi Xian, everyone beside them showed expressions of wanting to vomit but not daring to vomit.
Jiang Jibei smiled: "It's Mrs. Tian who teased you."
"Let's make a joke with my sister." Wei Ye said with a smile, "It's delicious, eat it."
Even so, no one dared to use chopsticks easily.
At this time, a female family member came out of the kitchen with a large basin in both hands, and shouted as she walked, "Here comes the sandworm porridge! Come and drink!"
"Sandworm?" Jiang Jibei heard a boy next to him whimper in despair, "What kind of dark food is this?"
Soon, the dishes were served one by one.
In addition to lychee dog meat, dry pot toads and sandworm porridge, there are also stir-fried sweet potato leaves, fried grasshoppers, roasted voles and self-made ant medicinal wine...
Looking at these special dishes, Jiang Jibei showed a thoughtful expression.
People in Guangxi do not eat this way every day. It seems that in order to achieve the effect of hunting for novelty, the movie mixed all the special foods from all over Guangxi.
The experiencers couldn't accept it for a while and whispered.
"My God, how can they eat some weird things..."
"Is it that poor to eat insects..."
"Sandworms are quite expensive." A boy wearing glasses said suddenly, "Isn't it specially used to entertain guests, this family has a heart."
Jiang Jibei happened to hear this sentence. Hearing this, he took a look at this boy.
The boy pushed his glasses, his expression normal.
Wei Ye was very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to give them a bowl of porridge: "Drink more! This sandworm porridge is very nourishing! It is very expensive!"
Everyone stared at the long worms in the bowl, showing uncomfortable expressions.
Jiang Jibei picked up the bowl, blew on the heat, and took a sip of the sandworm porridge.
Everyone looked at him in horror.
"He drank..."
"It's disgusting and scary..."
Seeing that Jiang Jibei drank, Wei Ye asked expectantly: "How is it? Is it good?"
Jiang Jibei nodded and said with a smile, "It's delicious, this sandworm is good."
"Brother Chen Ji, you still know the goods." His words successfully made Wei Ye happy, "If it tastes good, drink more!"
Chi Xian next to him picked up a chopstick and fried the grasshopper, put it into his mouth without changing his face, and praised it like a model: "It's delicious."
"Do you like eating cicada chrysalis? I'll ask my wife to fry them for you later!" Seeing the second person who knew the goods appeared, Wei Ye was even happier.
"Okay." Chi Xian smiled, "Is there any jam?"
"There must be! If you like to eat, I will ask them to give you more! The jam at the entrance of the village is the most delicious!"
"He likes to eat." Chi Xian turned his head in the direction of Jiang Jibei.
Jiang Jibei glanced at him.
"Okay, okay, eat first, eat more." Wei Ye patted Chi Xian's shoulder in relief, then turned his head to look at the others, "You guys eat too, you're welcome! I'll go greet other guests first! "
As soon as Wei Ye left, a boy at the table asked, "What is jam? Is it applesauce or something?"
"It is a special sour plum sauce in Guangxi, and the locals call it jam." Jiang Jibei explained casually, "It has a sweet and sour taste, and it is generally used as a condiment for barbecues and fried skewers."
"You know so much, it's as if you're on the hook." The girl who didn't eat dog meat said enviously.
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Jibei poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and smiled absently.
He sensed it.
This video is on point.
So, this is what 0003 said, the background system calculated based on the previous data, is it suitable for their movie?
But, for now, the others don't seem to understand anything.
Is this movie calculated based on the data of each experiencer, or is it only for him?
At this moment, there was a quarrel behind Jiang Jibei.
He put down his chopsticks and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
Others also noticed the movement over there and turned their heads to look.
In the corner, an old woman dressed plainly was scolding a skinny boy: "Why are you crazy!"
The boy stood with his back to them, and said in a weak but firm voice, "I don't eat toads."
The old woman scolded: "I have some for you to choose? You can eat what they cook! What qualifications do you have to choose!"
But the young man was very stubborn, and would not compromise on anything: "I can eat anything, but I don't want to eat toad."
Jiang Jibei noticed that in the face of this scene, the surrounding villagers showed expressions that they were accustomed to.
"Don't worry about it." A villager at the next table turned around, picked up a piece of meat, and ate it happily. "The mage is scolding her little apprentice again."
The other villagers also turned their heads and continued to eat while talking and laughing.
Master?
Jiang Jibei raised his eyebrows.
If the deceased died normally, ordinary people would not invite a mage to come to do it.Unless the deceased is not going peacefully, the family members will ask the mage to come to the door for salvation and send the deceased on the road.
The cause of Wei Ye's father's death is very likely to contain some clues.
Seeing that the young man refused to let go, the female mage was furious.
She picked up the spirit banner at the side and threw it on the young man fiercely: "Are you itchy? I tell you to pick it! I tell you to pick it! Are you ashamed? Are you ashamed!"
Wei Ye hurried over to smooth things over: "Oh, forget it, Aunt Ba, why are you getting angry with Wazai again? Xiaowazai's family is ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"
The boy stood on the spot with his back to the crowd, clenched his fists and said nothing.
Jiang Jibei put a few pieces of dog meat into the bowl and stood up suddenly.
Chi Xian looked up at him.
Holding the bowl in one hand, Jiang Jibei walked straight behind the young man, and said, "Brother, if you don't want to eat, don't eat it. Then eat something else, dog meat or not?"
Hearing his voice, the boy turned his head abruptly.
When Jiang Jibei heard it, the experiencers behind him gasped.
He himself was startled suddenly, but he still kept a calm expression on his face.
The boy had a frightening face.
The distance between his eyes is wide open, and the two bulging eyeballs seem to be not on the same plane, giving people the feeling of a flounder.
Most importantly, the boy's face was covered with dense blisters and acne, which looked very disgusting.
A bit like leprosy skin.
