Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 25 The price of free eating and drinking

The footsteps came from far to near, and Chen Ye heard a slight communication sound.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, and found that he could vaguely hear the content of the conversation.

"Damn it, I've been hungry for a whole day, and now I can't even find any food!"

"Don't make any noise. Yesterday, I heard the sound of candied chestnuts being sold in this alley. Let's see if we can get something to eat."

"Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar? We don't have a single copper coin on us. Are you sure you have the money to buy chestnuts in sugar?"

"The last time I heard the cries, it seems that they can taste it for free, and if it is not good, there is no money."

"But if it's delicious, doesn't it still cost money... I said Zhao Cheng, you won't lead us into a pit, right? The forums say that things in this world should not be eaten indiscriminately. Will it be okay if you eat it?" Is something wrong?"

The young man named "Zhao Cheng" got a little impatient after being told, and said in a fiery temper:
"What are you talking about?"

"If I hadn't risked my life to snatch a coin in exchange for the qualification to go to Xijiang to fetch water for you, you would have died of thirst long ago!"

"If you think there is a problem, then get out of here quickly, don't talk about it here, just like a bitch."

The voice of the discussion gradually amplified and almost spread throughout the alley.

No one else dared to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became stiff.

With a straight face, Zhao Cheng walked in front of the team in a muffled voice.

at this time……

He suddenly smelled the smell of sugar-fried chestnuts, his eyes lit up slightly, and said:
"There should be sugar-fried chestnuts nearby, hurry up and find out where it is!"

In the night, a trolley for moving food stalls slowly appeared from the end of the alley.

"Selling chestnuts, fresh chestnuts fried in sugar."

That erratic voice suddenly became real, and the aroma of fried chestnuts became more and more intense...

In the blink of an eye, the old lady selling chestnuts suddenly appeared in front of the group of people as if she had stepped out of the mist.

The eyes of Zhao Cheng and others fell directly on the trolley. At that moment, their consciousness seemed a little dull, as if they were completely attracted by the aroma of fried chestnuts in sugar.

Gollum! ! !
There was a loud growl in my stomach.

At this moment, they felt a stronger sense of hunger in their stomachs. When they smelled the aroma of fried chestnuts in sugar, they seemed to be about to lose their ability to think, leaving only one thought in their minds...

"I want to eat!"

"I want to eat!"

"I want to eat!"

In a blink of an eye, the trolley had stopped right in front of Zhao Cheng and the others.

The old lady selling chestnuts said with a smile, "Come and try it. Fresh chestnuts fried in sugar cost five copper coins a catty. It doesn't cost money if it doesn't taste good."

However, the greedy look in Zhao Cheng's eyes became more and more intense, and he even seemed to have lost the ability to think rationally.

He ignored the old lady selling chestnuts, and grabbed the hot pan with his bare hands. As if he couldn't feel the burn, he directly threw the freshly baked sugar-fried chestnuts into his mouth.

Immediately after...

The second, the third...

The sugar-fried chestnuts made a cracking sound as Zhao Cheng chewed them, as if what he ate was not sugar-fried chestnuts, but pieces of bone fingers.

The other companions heard the sound of chewing and swallowing, and the desire to eat was dazzled again, and they immediately gathered around, grabbing the sugar-fried chestnuts in the pot like crazy, throwing them into their mouths one after another, gobbling them voraciously , The sound of "bajibaji" is constantly coming out of the mouth, like a pig that has been hungry for seven days.

At this time, Chen Ye watched calmly from the side. He observed that the aura of luck above the heads of these people was constantly turning black.

A faint blood light slowly brewed out, but that blood light came from inside and outside...

Different from the three new players I saw at the West Street Cake Shop earlier, their aura is from the outside to the inside...

After a while, Zhao Cheng burped and gradually stopped swallowing.

As soon as he raised his head, Chen Ye noticed that the corners of the other party's mouth were covered with blood.

The other people also hiccupped not long after, as if they gradually regained consciousness.

The old lady who sold chestnuts was always watching with a smile on her face, no matter how they messed up their pot, they smashed the fried chestnuts in sugar everywhere, and several fell on the ground, covered with dirty muddy...

"Young man, is it delicious?"

The erratic voice came again, echoing around like an echo.

However, the greeting was obviously concerned, and the tone was obviously calm, but for some reason, one could feel an extremely cold feeling from it, as if it could seep into the bone marrow!
"Okay..." Zhao Cheng opened his mouth slightly, subconsciously instinctively wanting to say delicious.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, sneered, and grabbed another chestnut fried in sugar.

After chewing in his mouth, he suddenly showed a frown and a disgusted expression, spit out the candied chestnuts in his mouth, and said:
"It's unpalatable!"

"Damn it, can you make candied chestnuts?"

"If you don't know how to do it, then don't open a store. It's so unpalatable. I'm so disgusted!"

"It's so unpalatable, I almost vomited after eating it, and I want to collect money, it's not bad to let you lose money!"

"..."

Zhao Cheng cursed in a vicious tone, the words were extremely unpleasant, and he seemed to get more and more excited as he scolded, until he seemed to lose his mind in the end, some words were so cursed that he couldn't even pronounce the words clearly, with a wave of hysterical madness.

The other accomplices couldn't bear to listen any longer, and a boy with a crew cut couldn't help but stepped forward, tugged at the corner of Zhao Cheng's clothes, and said:
"Brother Cheng...forget it...you're going to get into trouble!"

"It's weird here..."

"Get out!" Before the flat-headed brother could finish speaking, Zhao Cheng pushed him away roughly, and sneered: "Idiot, didn't you read that forum said, don't be afraid when you get along with tricky. You guys Coward, look at that wimpy look, don't follow me if you are afraid of death."

He raised his head and said in an arrogant and unreasonable manner: "Oh, old lady, you seem to have said that just now, right?"

"It's not delicious, no money!"

"It's so unpalatable now, our brothers won't be deceived to buy it again next time!"

"Don't be ignorant of flattery. If you really don't want to, the brothers still have a glass of water, which can be exchanged with you."

"If you continue to do this business of forced buying and selling, then don't blame us to report you to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!"

While speaking, Zhao Cheng glanced at Chen Ye, and suddenly found that beside the old lady selling chestnuts, there was a young man with the same outfit as a beggar.

It's just... This young man looks pretty and harmless to humans and animals, but the old woman has difficulty walking, so what threat can he pose to himself?
Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng became more confident, and firmly believed that he only had to follow this logic - it doesn't taste good, it doesn't cost money.

Then you can eat and drink for free!
Although it can only be used once, since the hunger is unbearable, let's settle the meal first.

The chestnut-selling grandmother's smile became wider and wider, the corners of her mouth suddenly began to split, and her facial features gradually became ferocious and distorted.

Zhao Cheng was taken aback immediately, and instinctively wanted to run away...

however.

When he just lowered his head to look, an extremely horrifying scene followed his vision straight to the sky, like a nightmare!

I saw that my legs turned into one leg!

The skin and flesh on the outside gradually began to crack and fall off, turning into thick blood!

The meat didn't look like injured meat, but rather like the meat of a dead person, after being grilled over high temperature charcoal, it finally stuck together.

The entire lower body seemed to swell into a disgusting tumor!
And with the consciousness slowly disappearing...

This feeling keeps spreading upwards, gradually covering from the waist to the arms, and then to the mouth...

The other accomplices all showed a look of hell, trying to run away!

But they found that, just like Zhao Cheng, their bodies had undergone such terrifying changes.

The old lady selling chestnuts finally spoke again, and she said with a smile:

"Young man, my old lady, I told you that if it doesn't taste good, you don't need money."

"But when did you say..."

"It's not delicious, don't you want anything else?"
