we are just monsters

Chapter 42 Tang Monk Meat

"I treat you well?"

Xia Xiaoman's palms are very strong, unlike men's generous hands, women's hand bones are generally slender, and there is a light feeling when exerting force.

The women in the massage shop have no strength, while the men focus on the technique, just like "you are sick, listen, click", it gives people the illusion that they are not enjoying themselves, but treating the disease, without that kind of complete relaxation of pleasure.

Speaking of it, it is still easy to use as an apprentice. Whether it is pouring water to make tea, or rubbing shoulders and beating the back, the filial piety is obvious.

Chen Hua couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment. Every time he looked at it sourly, he wanted Zhao Hong to pinch his legs and hammer his waist. Chatted.

It's just that after Xia Xiaoman, he confiscated his apprentice, not because of Xia Xiaoman, if he left, he left. Even if Xia Xiaoman had other thoughts, it didn't matter after he left.

The main thing is that I didn’t meet any children who couldn’t eat enough. As the years went by, social welfare became more and more perfect, and it became less and less common for little beggars to freeze to death on the side of the road as before, until they disappeared.

"Actually, even if you didn't drink alcohol back then, we would have left in those one or two years." Gu Cheng didn't look back, feeling the filial piety after 50 years, Chao Xia Xiaoman talked about those years.

With two blood clans, staying in one place for too long will always be seen as a flaw. They planned to leave after getting married when Xia Xiaoman was 22 years old, end that period of life, and find a new place to start a new life.

What I didn't expect was that Xia Xiaoman kept procrastinating, and at the age of 26, he was still in no hurry to find a husband's family, so he could only discuss that it was time to leave soon.

But on the eve of leaving, Xia Xiaoman couldn't bear it anymore. It was early winter, and the wind was howling in the evening. They gathered around the stove to eat and chat, the paper windows rustled, Chen Hua warmed the wine and poured it to Gu Cheng Warming the cold, he turned his head and saw her sitting there in a daze, and poured her a glass after thinking about it...

"Do you know how I got here that winter?" Xia Xiaoman's slender fingers gently pressed on his shoulder.

"Thinking about it, it should be very painful."

"Should?" Xia Xiaoman smiled, "Wang Aimin, let me bite you?"

"..."

"If this were in the movie, you would be a heartless person. After I died, I would turn into a ghost with profound magic power. I finally found you. I had pointed nails. After torturing you, I directly poked you on the top of the head. In the end, I was also beaten to death by a passing expert. .”

Xia Xiaoman gently pressed the top of his head with his fingertips, leaned forward, and let his head rest in his arms.

She didn't do this 50 years ago, but now she is still the same as before, and Gu Cheng has even become a few years younger.

Time passed, and it seemed that it had never changed. Xia Xiaoman slid his fingers across his head and let out a satisfied sigh.

Some things are known only after death, and some regrets are really regrets for a lifetime.

"okay."

Sensing Xia Xiaoman's movement, Gu Cheng got up, and pressing it down was not filial piety, this movement was more like a wife.

Scheming.

After the eggs in the kitchen were steamed, Gu Cheng took them out and cut them into several pieces with a spoon, sprinkled with chopped shallots, poured some light soy sauce, and it was a delicious egg custard.

He lives forever, so he doesn't care much. When he sees Xia Xiaoman's dead soul, he won't be very excited and ask her how she died, whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and he won't sigh because she is still her, but the time and place have changed. That's all.

I also don't understand why Xia Xiaoman's obsession is so deep... Maybe this is unique to the short-lived species. Life is too short, and the regret becomes more profound.

"If I'm still alive..." Xia Xiaoman thought about the possibility. She was old, and she might not dare to recognize Gu Cheng who was still young.

From this point of view, death might not be a bad thing.

It's just a pity that it's too short, and the souls of the dead will eventually dissipate.

Longevity, longevity...

No wonder so many people want to live forever.

"Are you born to live forever? Can eating a bite of your flesh have some effect?" Xia Xiaoman's eyes flicked at Gu Cheng.

"No."

"Oh?"

Xia Xiaoman's eyes moved, and he looked at him with piercing eyes. If he wasn't born to live forever, then it meant that there was a way to make people live forever.

Elixir?Secret medicine?The law of longevity?The gift of the immortal?
Qin Shihuang made such a big fuss just to ask for a longevity pill. Could it be that he made a wedding dress for him?

"Qin Shihuang sent five hundred boys and girls overseas to search for fairy mountains, and finally found an old tortoise with a bent back on an island. There were only some wild people on the island. Later, they bled the tortoise and took it to make alchemy, but I robbed it and ate it. "

Gu Cheng licked his lips, as if reminiscing the taste of the elixir of immortality, Xia Xiaoman's eyes widened in surprise.

It turns out that the method of longevity has really been found, but why hasn't the fairy mountain been found after the development of modern technology?
Could it be that there is only one big turtle in the world, and it ended up in this person's stomach?

"Don't believe him, he told me that he ascended to the fairy world a long time ago, and now he is just a ray of consciousness projected by him." Lilith said while lying on the window sill.

"..."

"I told Lao Chen, when did I tell you?" Gu Cheng frowned.

"Oh, that's what the vampires told me. Look, even the vampires don't believe it."

Lilith curled her lips, fooling the child?It's an elixir and a fairy world, "Actually, I also want to know if eating a piece of your meat can make you live longer, or can you let us have a taste?"

She asked lying on the edge of the window, ready to jump back and escape at any time.

"stupid."

Gu Cheng didn't bother to talk to her, just saw the innocence on Xia Xiaoman's face, and just made a joke.

If eating a piece of his meat would make him immortal, would this traitor really want to pounce on him and eat two bites?
Tang monk meat is just a legend, and monk Xuanzang died more than 1000 years ago.

Lilith was lying on the window sill, and when she saw Gu Cheng enter the kitchen, she secretly waved her paw at Xia Xiaoman, then jumped from the window, and walked gracefully to a corner of the courtyard to wait for her.

Xia Xiaoman floated out to see what she was going to do.

"Did you feel any special effects from eating this old man's saliva or something?" Lilith asked seriously, with curiosity flashing in her eyes, "Have you tried to bite him twice? It seems that modern humans have It was very rough at the time, and it should be normal to take two bites as a hobby, right?"

If it really worked, she might find a way to secretly get some meat, and scrape some feet first for the vampire to try the effect.

After eating Gu Cheng's meat, she can continue to play with Xiangxiang's girl. Now humans have that kind of big bath, where a large group of people take a bath. She hasn't taken a bath yet, and every time she goes in, she is taken out.

"Uh……"

Xia Xiaoman's expression froze, looking at Lilith, she didn't know how to answer.

What the hell is this witch thinking?
