Chapter 25 The Cost of Free Food and Drink

The footsteps came closer and closer, and Chen Ye heard a subtle exchange of voices.

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!"

"Stop arguing, I heard the sound of sugar-roasted chestnuts being sold in this alley yesterday, let's see if we can get something to eat."

"Sugar-roasted chestnuts? We don't have a single copper coin on us, are you sure you have the money to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

"Last time I heard the hawking, it seemed that you can taste it for free, and if it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."

"But if it tastes good, then it still costs money... I say Zhao Cheng, you won't lead us into a trap In the forum, it is said that things in this world cannot be eaten randomly. Will it be a problem if you eat them? "

The young man named "Zhao Cheng" was a little impatient and said angrily:

"Why are you talking so much?"

"If I hadn't risked my life to grab 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 so much here, like a woman."

The discussion gradually became louder and was about to spread throughout the alley.

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

Zhao Cheng walked in front of the team with a stern face.

Just then...

He suddenly smelled the smell of sugar-roasted chestnuts, his eyes lit up slightly, and said:

"There should be sugar-roasted chestnuts nearby, you should look for it quickly and see where it is!"

In the night, a cart used for a mobile snack stand slowly appeared from the end of the alley.

"Chestnuts for sale, fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts."

The vague voice suddenly became real, accompanied by the increasingly strong aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts...

In the blink of an eye, the old lady selling chestnuts seemed to walk out of the fog and suddenly appeared in front of the group.

Zhao Cheng and others' eyes immediately fell on the cart. At that moment, their consciousness seemed a little sluggish, as if they were completely attracted by the aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Gurgle! ! !

The stomach made a loud noise.

At this moment, they felt a stronger sense of hunger in their stomachs. When they smelled the aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts, they seemed to almost lose their ability to think, and only one thought remained in their minds...

"I want to eat it!"

"I want to eat it!"

"I want to eat it!"

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

The old lady selling chestnuts smiled and said, "Come and try it. Fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts. Five copper coins per pound. If they don't taste good, you can get them for free."

However, the greed in Zhao Cheng's eyes became stronger and stronger, and he even seemed to have lost the ability to think rationally.

He ignored the old lady selling chestnuts and reached for the boiling hot pot with his bare hands. He seemed not to feel the burn and threw the freshly baked sugar-roasted chestnuts directly into his mouth.

Then...

The second, the third...

The sugar-roasted chestnuts made a bone-breaking sound when Zhao Cheng chewed them in his mouth, as if he was not eating sugar-roasted chestnuts, but pieces of bone fingers.

When the other companions heard the chewing and swallowing sounds, the desire to eat overwhelmed their minds again. They immediately surrounded him and rushed to grab the sugar-roasted chestnuts in the pot like crazy. They rushed to throw them into their mouths and swallowed them voraciously, making a "smacking" sound in their mouths, like a pig that had been hungry for seven days.

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

A faint blood light slowly brewed out, but the blood light came from the inside out...

Unlike the three new players seen in the West Street Cake Shop before, their auras came from the outside in...

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

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

Not long after, the other few people also burped, as if they gradually regained consciousness.

The old lady selling chestnuts was always watching with a smile from behind, regardless of how they messed up their pots, smashing the sugar-roasted chestnuts in the pot everywhere, and several of them fell to the ground, covered with dirty mud...

"Young man, is it delicious?"

The erratic voice came again, as if there was an echo echoing around.

However, it was clearly a caring greeting, and the tone was calm, but for some reason, I could feel an extreme chill from it, as if it could penetrate into my bones!

"Good..." Zhao Cheng opened his mouth slightly, and subconsciously wanted to say delicious.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, sneered, and grabbed another roasted chestnut.

After chewing it in his mouth, he suddenly showed a frowning and disgusting expression, spit out the roasted chestnut in his mouth, and said:

"It's so unpalatable!"

"Fuck, can you make roasted chestnuts?"

"If you can't, then don't open a shop. It's so unpalatable that I'm sick of it!"

"It's so unpalatable that I almost vomited after eating it, and you still want to charge me. It's good enough that you don't have to pay me!"

"..."

Zhao Cheng cursed in a vicious tone, the words were extremely unpleasant, and he seemed to be getting more and more excited. In the end, he seemed to have lost his mind. Some of the words he cursed were so unclear that he couldn't even pronounce them clearly, with a hysterical madness.

The other accomplices couldn't stand it any longer. A flat-headed guy couldn't help but walk up to him, tugged at Zhao Cheng's clothes, and said:

"Brother Cheng... forget it... you'll get into trouble!"

"This place is weird..."

"Get lost!" Before the flat-headed guy finished speaking, Zhao Cheng pushed him away roughly and sneered: "Stupid, didn't you see what was said in the forum? Don't be afraid when you're with weirdos. You bunch of cowards, look at that cowardly look, if you're afraid of death, don't stay with me."

He raised his head and said in a rude and unreasonable manner: " Heh, old woman, you seemed to have said that just now, didn't you? "

"If it's not tasty, don't charge!"

"Now that it's so bad, we brothers will never be deceived and buy it next time!"

"Don't be rude. If you really don't want to, we have a glass of water that we can exchange with you."

"If you do this kind of forced business again, don't blame us for reporting you to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!"

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

It's just that... this young man looks handsome and harmless, and the old woman has difficulty walking. What threat can she pose to herself?

Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng became more justified and convinced that as long as he followed this logic-if it's not tasty, don't charge.

Then you can eat and drink for free!

Although it can only be used once, since you are already so hungry that you can't stand it, just eat it first.

The old lady selling chestnuts smiled more and more, and the corners of her mouth suddenly began to crack, and her facial features gradually became hideous and distorted.

Zhao Cheng was startled and instinctively wanted to run away...

However.

When he just lowered his head to look, an extremely horrifying picture rushed straight to his head with his vision, like a nightmare!

I saw that his legs had turned into one leg!

The skin and flesh on the surface gradually began to crack and fall off, turning into a thick pool of blood!

The meat did not look like injured meat, but like the meat of a dead person, which was finally stuck together after being grilled at high temperature.

The whole lower body seemed to swell into a disgusting tumor!

And with the gradual disappearance of consciousness...

This feeling continued to spread upwards, gradually covering the waist to the arms, and then to the mouth...

The other accomplices all showed a look of seeing a ghost, and hurriedly wanted to run away!

But they found that, like Zhao Cheng, their bodies had also undergone this horrifying change.

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

"Young man, I have said that if it doesn't taste good, you don't want the money."

"But when did I say..."

"If it doesn't taste good, you don't want anything else?"
