Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 309 The old woman who gave you fish
Young people use the word will.

In other words, the two villagers in the ancestral hall still have their own consciousness.

Before the young man woke up, the older man had already stood up first.

He stopped scratching his face, and his webbed hands dropped to his sides, his fists gradually clenched, and then he grabbed the long metal stick that was placed next to the pillar. The stick with the head removed looked like it came from some farm tool. disassembled.

The older man was on guard and said, "You... you... why... do you... come here?"

The function of speech has begun to be lost, and he makes some gurgling and bubble-blowing sounds when opening and closing his mouth, which is extremely vague.

It was difficult to see the emotion in the young man's eyes, which was even darker under the cover of the rainy night.

"I... don't want to fight with you." Wen Rongxuan shouted something in a low voice. According to the kinship relationship in their village, he could also call this older man uncle.

The young man was not afraid of the metal stick pointed directly at him, and kept glancing into the ancestral hall.

He really didn't mean to start a fight, he just stood there and watched.

The older man was very vigilant. In the process of gradually losing his speech function, he slowly uttered words to question the young man: "You... didn't... come here this afternoon, and now... you come... again... why?"

Wen Rongxuan raised his head as if he heard a very funny sentence.

"Afternoon?" the young man repeated, "When did I come in the afternoon?"

The elder thought that Wen Rongxuan was quibbling. He said intermittently that the village chief had informed him in this way, so Wen Rongxuan must have done this.

Furthermore, this is not the first time that Wen Rongxuan has entered the village ancestral hall. He has a criminal record.

Perhaps the word village chief stimulated Wen Rongxuan, the young man's face suddenly darkened, and he repeated the names of village chief and village head.

"The village chief's...it's the village chief again. All of you trust him."

"But what did that guy bring to you?" Wen Rongxuan's mood swings caused the black shadows around him to rise and fall together.

The elder heard this and replied, "No disease, longevity, and happiness."

The environment and atmosphere in the village are self-contained, making it difficult for outsiders to integrate and understand. However, the word longevity mentioned by the elders made Wen Rongxuan sneer.

"Longevity, would you like to take a look at the dates of birth and death written on the tablets at the back? Is this the price of longevity?"

Sacrifice, of course, requires sacrifices.

"And, do you really want that kind of longevity?" His eyes lingered on the older man's deformed face again, and the young man also looked at the young man standing aside, "With that kind of attitude."

It is self-evident what people will eventually become after a little bit of alienation. Whether they are fish-men or mermaids, they have broken away from the category of separate "people".

The older man didn't reply. The protruding fish eyes took away the ability to speak. The older man squeezed out a few grunts from his throat and raised the long stick unsteadily.

Not wanting to waste time with the older man who could no longer communicate, Wen Rongxuan raised his voice and asked, "Where are the things hidden in the ancestral hall?"

Of course, there was no answer.

On the contrary, the young man who had been sleeping was awakened by Wen Rongxuan's sudden voice. He slowly stood up and picked up the bench he was sitting on.

The young man's mouth dropped when he saw the reaction in front of him, and he couldn't even hold back his sneer.

"Sorry..." he said expressionlessly, "I don't want to fight with you, but I have to find that 'thing'."

That... thing?
There was a ding-ding-dong-dong sound below. The onomatopoeia was probably wrong, but Bai Su was too lazy to describe the actual sound.

The eyeball hanging on the beam glanced thoughtfully to the right after listening to the corner.

To his right, between the angle between the beam and the supporting column, stood the box he had seen earlier.

The box is small and difficult to see from below unless you climb high.

If you just search below, you won't be able to find it all at once.

After thinking for a moment, he retracted his entire body to the beam and stood there. He was about to turn the white cotton at the bottom into a hand shape to pick up the small box. As soon as his transformation started, the whole ball stopped there.

...?
The black-haired young man with the book covering his face regained consciousness, and slowly raised his arm hanging straight by his side, lifting the book on his face.

The weak light in the room fell into the eyes again, and the light that had not been exposed to for a long time made people squeeze out a few physiological tears.

Ah, someone's knocking on the door.

Bai Su rubbed his face, adjusted his posture slightly, and sat up straight.

To be precise, he wasn't knocking on the door, but he was rubbing the door panel with his claws or some other part of his hand.

Who is coming?
If it were black sludge, they wouldn't be so polite at all. They would just be like hyenas that smell food, and follow any path they can to reach for the "food".

How could it be like the existence outside the door now, scrubbing the door, vowing not to stop until the door is knocked open.

Bai Su moved his neck, which was stiff from sleep.

Because the only kang or bed in the room was occupied, and he was too lazy to make a bed on the floor, leaning back on the chair for a long time made the fragile neck of the human body a little uncomfortable. If he leaned further, he would probably have a stiff neck.

The black-haired young man walked towards the door of the room. Before going out, he looked back at the human woman still lying on the bed.

Bai Su thought for a while and realized that the human woman who had been attacked would probably not attract the black sludge again, so he opened the door with confidence.

Rain pours from the sky.

Bai Su was too lazy to open an umbrella. He wiped the left and right sides of his body and it was just a matter of changing the surface. He just needed to turn the soft inside out and rub it again and again to create the appearance of "Bai Su".

You can do this when there are no humans, and the conditions are met now, as long as Qi Zhuyue doesn't wake up.

Bai Su walked to the yard and heard the sound of the door being rubbed. However, due to his footsteps, other noises began to occur outside.

One, two, three...six, seven?After a while, I realized that there were a lot of villagers harassing me outside.

How can they be so virtuous as to receive such a big gift... Oh, they were marked yesterday?
He was the only one with talent, so Bai Su had to work hard to grow his brain.

He stood there, listening to the rustling movement on the courtyard wall. The last few fish heads were lying there, a pair of lifeless fish eyes seemed to be watching him.

If this was shown to a human being, it might make one feel dizzy for a while.

Unfortunately, it is Bai Su who is facing all this now.

The black-haired young man held his chin, held his elbow with his other hand, and looked around regretfully.

"It doesn't taste good..." he sighed, "Why are you still human?"

At first glance, the words sounded like curses, but they were Bai Su's true feelings.

Because they were still human beings, these fish-headed villagers were somewhere between edible and unpalatable. With plenty of wild food all over the mountains and plains, he didn't have to force himself to eat the villagers in front of him.

Bai Su locked eyes with the fish's head one by one, and finally looked at the door.

The black-haired young man asked in a loud voice: "Who is it?"

The sound of cleaning the door stopped, and an old woman's voice sounded outside: "Here... I'm giving you something."

The old woman's voice was unfamiliar. It was probably not anyone they had communicated with in the village. It could also be that the tone had changed due to alienation, making it difficult to recognize her voice.

Give something, give something?
Unable to guess it for a moment through the door, Bai Su simply walked over and opened the door.The fish-eyed old woman outside the door probably didn't expect that the people inside were not afraid at all. She was still lying on the door. After losing her support, the old woman fell straight forward.

He should have fallen on the person who opened the door, but Bai Su got out of the way.

The old woman fell to the ground without any measures to reduce the buffering force. She only heard two clicks, as if some part of her body had been broken by the fall.

Bai Su, who had no empathy, leaned on the other half of the door that was not open, and looked down at the plate that the old woman fell to the ground with.

The plastic plate was not broken, but the items on it fell to the ground and became stained with muddy water.

Eat...you can still eat it.

Fish, they originally swim in the water. The fish on the ground can barely be eaten after being washed.

The fallen old woman raised her head after only a few seconds. She kept her prone position and raised her head, her neck almost raised at an angle of ninety degrees.

Even so, she was still able to speak.

The weather-stained face is extremely old, with wrinkled skin and wrinkles. The folds near the eyes are almost sticking together. There are old spots here and there, making the face blurry.

The old woman's eyes should have been narrowed, but because they looked like fish eyes, they occupied the upper part of her face, which was weird and ugly.

She looked at Bai Su keenly.

"Please...eat the fish." The old woman said, her head held high and she stood up with a few clicks.

After standing up again, her obviously distorted right leg revealed her injury, but as if she couldn't feel the pain, she picked up the fallen fish and continued to hand it to Bai Su.

The fish is a fish with thick joints, and there are wriggling tentacles extending from the light red flesh under the scales. The snout is strangely open. If you turn your head and look, you can still see the faint sight of snakes that are not fish. Flash there.

Baisu: ...

Bai Su decided to take back what he just said.

This fish looks really ugly.

Even though I know that it looks and tastes two different things, just like stinky tofu in human food, it smells ugly but tastes delicious, but you have to be mentally prepared to put something ugly into your mouth.

It might as well be like black silt, invisible and shapeless, and he will eat it as soon as he swallows it.

"Hmm..." Bai Su thought for a while, then stepped back a little in disgust, "This one fell on the ground."

The old woman didn't respond and tried to stuff the fish into the man's mouth.

Bai Su grabbed the other person's hand and said a few more words: "This fell to the ground. It's dirty and can't be eaten."

The old woman paused for two seconds: "Wash it... ok..."

Bai Su still refused: "Is this your attitude towards entertaining guests?"

The opponent's hand couldn't go any further despite exerting force. Instead, it clicked and broke under the force.

For a moment, silence spread.

This may be an image the visitor did not expect.

Several fish-headed men lying on the wall also looked over. They were hesitant and confused about whether to come down.

Theoretically, this large group of them came here just to achieve the aura of overwhelming numbers of fish.

However... now it seems that the gap in force is a bit big.

The fish heads came together to think for a while, then dispersed, deciding to wait for the old woman's instructions below.

The old woman's fish-like eyes rolled twice. She took back her broken hand, opened her mouth twice, and then said: "Then... I'll give you... another one."

After receiving the order, two fish heads on the courtyard wall disappeared, and within a minute, they appeared at the door.

One person was holding a fish in his hand. The shape was different from the one that was stained with dust because Bai Su disliked it, but it was also uniquely ugly.

There is quite a perfunctory feeling about it being long and casual without being taken out for viewing.

Two fish correspond to two people.

Bai Su didn't bother to ask why there were only two, and how did the people in the village judge that there were only two people in their house.

After the new fish were delivered, he stretched out his hand to catch them, and found exactly one fish on the left and one on the right.

The old woman looked at it and said, "One is yours, and the other is the one inside--"

She was only halfway through her words when the scene she saw in front of her made her jaw-dropping.

The black-haired young man took the fish and kept moving.

He picked up the tail of the fish, avoiding those weird body parts and holding it, raised its neck, opened its mouth slightly, and pointed the fish's head there.

Then, he descended little by little, like a magician performing a sword-swallowing magic. His throat flapped twice, and the strange fish disappeared.

Eaten by...?

Is this how humans eat?

Perhaps because he felt that his actions just now were a bit too simple and rough, the second fish Baisu ate in a normal way... maybe it wasn't too normal either.

Opening and closing the mouth, watching the not-sharp teeth bite lightly, the fish head was bitten off, blood streaks flowed along the gap between the teeth, then the fish body, and finally half of the fish tail was exposed outside the lips.

——I will die with my eyes closed.

For some reason, the bystanders felt such emotion.

Do humans eat like this?
The old woman and the fish head expressed doubts again, and in the blink of an eye, both fish were killed by the black-haired young man in front of them.

But... there is another fish for... Just as they were thinking this, they saw the black-haired young man licking the corners of his lips stained with fish scales.

Uncooked fish really doesn't taste good, and the fishy smell is so strong that it almost covers the aroma of the food.

Bai Su narrowed his black eyes and looked at the old woman and the fish head who were still standing at the door: "Is there anything else?"

"..." The old woman was strangely silent.

She felt that she should scold the black-haired young man for his unreasonable behavior, but the other party had indeed accomplished the purpose of her trip - to let the marked family eat the "fish".

Normally, this step requires coercion and intimidation, and may drag on for as long as an entire night.

Wenjia Village during the day is separated from Wenjia Village at night, so that most of what happens at night will not affect the daytime.

Now, the black-haired young man finished eating the fish and burped while the old woman was thinking.

The old woman couldn't help but look sideways, and the black-haired young man waved his hand.

"Sorry, sorry, I feel like I'm not full yet." Bai Su pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "So, do you have anything else?"

"If you have nothing to do, please leave. I'm still rushing to have my next meal."
