Chapter 6 The Hungry Ghost
Soon, the girl's dishes were all in order.

It was scary to say that the girl ordered a total of six hot dishes, namely three catties of lamb scorpion, stir-fried lamb liver, hot squid, twice-cooked pork, green pepper and chestnut chicken, and sauced pig's trotters.

It's all meat!Let alone a woman with this dish, even a thick-skinned man like Wang Hou wouldn't be able to fill a meal.

Taking the opportunity of serving the food, I finally saw the girl's face clearly.

The girl in red is about 21 and [-], with a very beautiful oval face and a pair of black eyes.This kind of girl is the type that Wang Hou likes, she always feels soft and weak, and she wants to love her more.

But on her face, I saw something different.

Under the sunlight from the window, I felt a faint layer of blackness and haggardness on that delicate face.It's not that I have any special abilities, but because the expression of the woman in red makes me feel very familiar.

I saw similar faces five years ago.

"Eat!" I said politely when I put the last dish in front of her.

Then, I sat on the side with Wang Hou, watching the girl eat alone.

But the girl's eating behavior almost made my jaw drop to the ground!
At this time, Wang Hou and I were surprised to see that the girl's eating was getting more and more exaggerated, and in the end, she was like a demon, swallowing the food on the table with big mouthfuls.

She broke off the boned chicken and pig's trotters, and stuffed them directly into her mouth, barely chewing them, and swallowed them into her stomach.The originally slender and soft neck even showed the faint outline of the food.

Wang Hou couldn't stand it anymore, so he whispered to me: Is this a fucking human?How do I feel, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost!

I looked at the girl's gluttonous appearance and remained silent.

After a while, I felt the time was up, so I handed a thermos to Wang and shouted, "She's thirsty, bring her some water!"

"There's water in her jug!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to chase girls, do as I say!" I ordered.

Afterwards, Wang Houteng stood up and walked towards the girl nervously.

While Wang Hou was refilling the girl's water, taking advantage of the girl's chance to look up, I carefully widened my eyes and took a look at the girl's dark and bright eyes!
"My God!" I gasped!
I saw that the originally dark and beautiful eyes of the girl in red suddenly turned red like blood at this moment!

This originally quiet girl in red now has her hair hanging loose and reddish saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth. Against the backdrop of her red dress and red eyes, she has turned into a hellish ghost.It is unbearable to look directly at!
Facing those blood-red eyes, Wang Hou was startled, and instinctively took a step back, while I hurriedly got up and walked to Wang Hou and the woman in red.

I grabbed the chicken leg from her hand and said to the girl.

"Don't eat it! Do you know that you are sick? The more you eat, the hungrier you will be! You will die like this!""

no!I dare not stop! "The girl almost cried and said: "There is a voice in my stomach that makes me eat non-stop!"If you don’t eat, I will starve to death”

Even if she was talking to me, the girl still didn't stop talking.

Seeing her reddening eyes and desperate eating, I didn't reach out to stop her, but called Wang over and told him to keep an eye on the girl and not let her go.

I ran to the back kitchen and prepared a bowl of ginger water for her, and added a lot of mustard!
In less than a minute, I brought over a large bowl of smelly ginger mustard water.

"Pinch her nose!" I directed.

"What?" Wang Hou didn't seem to understand what I said.

But I didn't have time to explain to Wang Hou. Seeing that girl's eyes were about to bleed, I knew it was not the time to be hypocritical.

At that time, I pried open the mouth of the girl in red, then pinched her nose, and poured a bowl of ginger and mustard water into her mouth.

The girl struggled a few times, but in front of me, that struggle was no different from tickling.

After the girl drank the entire bowl of ginger water, I saw the blood in her eyes fade away quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the girl collapsed completely, and she began to vomit.Spit out some pink blood and mouth extensions one after another.

I looked at the girl's vomit. Although it was sticky and disgusting, there was not a single bit of food residue that she had just eaten.

I know, it's weird, it's like she digests all the food in her mouth.

"It can't be such a coincidence!" I said to myself, with a hint of complacency on my forehead.

I am indeed a little proud, because I have already understood six or seven points of this girl's illness.

However, during the cautious period, I didn't draw any conclusions immediately, but after the girl's body and emotions stabilized, I asked first:

"Little girl! Don't blame big brother for talking too much, do you think you are normal? One person has to eat five or six dishes for a meal, and they are all big meat. If it wasn't for that bowl of ginger water just now, you would have died of hunger."

The girl shook her head slightly and said, "I don't want to, but I... I just can't control myself. Recently, I always feel a sound in my stomach, making me eat, eat, eat."

As the girl was speaking, she suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed the back of my hand.

"Brother! Do you know what disease I have! Can you save me?!"

I blushed for a while, retracted my arms under Wang's roaring eyes, then cleared my throat and said, "Girl, you have to respect yourself! You are fine for now, but if you want to save your life, you have to answer me honestly. question!"

The girl nodded desperately.

Afterwards, I asked the child to briefly explain when did she start to have this "symptom" of overeating, and most importantly, when did she start, and when she ate, her eyes would turn blood red .

This girl told us that her name is Xian Hongye, her family is from out of town, and she works as a director of a state-owned unit in this county.

Her "illness" started three days ago.

At the beginning, Xian Hongye's symptoms were very mild, but she especially liked to eat meat and vegetables, and she always felt that she was not full.But every time she ate a meal, her "condition" began to worsen.Just before lunch today, she had already eaten a piece of fried chicken and half a catty of duck neck, but she still felt very hungry.

She went to the hospital for an examination, but the doctor said she had no physical problems.

But even so, the doctor's diagnosis did not bring any psychological comfort to Xian Hongye.

Next, Xian Hongye's "disease" deteriorated rapidly.

Whenever Xian Hongye wants to resist this inexplicable hunger, she feels a strong and irresistible "idea" in her stomach to let her "eat"!That "thought" made her believe that something terrible would happen if she didn't eat.

As for when her eyes turned red, she couldn't tell.Maybe it was this morning, because she saw someone pointing at her face in the morning and secretly calling her a "ghost".

When Xian Hongye said this, she felt very desperate, and she even felt that if she continued like this, she would become a slave to her appetite.

"It's so dangerous!" I sighed deliberately: "After today, if you don't find us, you might really die."

"Brother, can it be cured? Am I possessed by a starving ghost?!" The desperate Xian Hongye asked tremblingly, with fear of her own appetite in her tone.

I waved my hand to tell her not to think about crooked things. After all, her attitude is not suitable for "treatment".

I comforted her and said, let her go home first, I need to think about it calmly, and tell her to come back to me tomorrow morning, when that time comes, I will come up with a safe treatment plan, so she can rest assured.

The girl listened to my words, and after resting for a while crying, she went back alone.

Wang Hou looked at the girl with pear blossoms and rain, and wanted to chase her out to comfort her, but I stopped her abruptly.

I told him: "You still have business to do! Help me buy some traditional Chinese medicine in a while."

Wang Hou, who was intercepted by me, was a little upset. He repeatedly asked me if I would cure the girl's illness.And I'm a cook, how do I know what's wrong with that girl.

Later, I was annoyed by Wang Hou's questioning, so I told him the truth.

I said, five years ago, I saw a "patient" exactly like this girl, and Wang Hou still knew this person, the Mongolian kid who lost to him in the third place in the military competition.

After my reminder, Wang Hou immediately remembered that person!
"You mean the 'live seafood' of Sharp Knife Company! Right!" He said, patting his forehead.

I nodded, thinking that he finally remembered this once his strongest opponent.
