Chapter 334: Great Famine, Ominous Premonition
Chapter 334: Great Famine, Ominous Premonition
The first floor of the Renjian Inn is mostly decorated as a restaurant.
There are several square tables over there.
There are four benches next to each square table, which can accommodate eight people in total.
They came to a square table and sat down.
Soon, a waiter in light blue clothes and a towel on his shoulders came over.
With this outfit, he looks just like a waiter from a costume TV drama come true.
With a smile on his face, he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, our main course for dinner tonight is big white steamed buns and flower rolls..."
"The dishes include pork stewed with vermicelli, spicy chicken, and fried eggs with chives..."
"The drink was millet porridge."
"There are five of you in total. I think five dishes and one soup would be just right."
"Of course, if you have a big appetite, you can order more."
The repeater complained: "You don't even have a menu here?"
"The names of the dishes are announced so quickly, who can remember them all?"
The waiter bowed and said, "I'm sorry, but we don't have a menu. How about I give it to you again?"
Su Ming: "No need, just serve six dishes and a soup."
"One steamed bun and one flower roll for each person."
The waiter looked at the repeater and said nothing more.
You will know who is the boss at the table.
Waiter: "Okay! Everyone, please wait a moment!"
“This dish will be here soon.”
Soon, a table of hot food was brought to the table.
Su Ming said, "Eat, fill your stomach."
The clumsy man looked at the food on the table, but he had no appetite: "Since my heartbeat has slowed down, my body seems to consume energy much slower."
"The food is delicious, but I don't have much appetite."
Jiumengzi agreed: "Me too, I used to love eating."
"Every time I go out to eat with them, I am the main force."
"It's rare that I can't even get excited when I see a freshly cooked dish like I do now."
Su Ming: "This is what it's like to become half dead."
"Eat as much as you can. This will help maintain your 'human' part."
After hearing this, the players started to use their chopsticks.
Eat steamed buns with various dishes.
This is life-saving food.
If you don't eat well, the chance of death will increase.
If you die in this horror game, you won't have to eat anymore.
Just when they were halfway through eating.
A cry with a crying tone came from not far away.
"Woo woo~ Gentlemen, please be merciful!"
"I haven't eaten for three days. I'm really starving to death!"
"Please, just give me a bite of food! Wuuwuwu~"
The sudden sound startled the players who were eating.
At this time, the clumsy guy was holding up the bowl to drink millet porridge, and almost slipped and dropped the bowl on the ground.
Fortunately, he held the bowl tightly and was secretly alert in his heart.
That's why I didn't fall into the trap.
He looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw a beggar with a dusty face and ragged clothes appearing at the dinner table at some point.
His clothes were ragged black rags.
It can't be called clothes at all, it's just like a piece of cloth picked up from somewhere.
He was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and banged his head against the wooden floor.
Good guy!
Is this what is called a beggar?
He comes and goes without a trace, and no one knows when he appeared.
The clumsy people should remember the rules: even if they see a beggar, they should pretend not to see it.
Otherwise, it would be a violation of taboos.
He would definitely not do this kind of thing first.
We have to wait for the big brother Miracle Master to take the lead.
It would be bad if you act rashly and break taboos.
At this time, there were three other tables of people in the restaurant besides them.
They all made the same choice as them, pretending not to see the beggar.
Those who should eat should eat, and those who should chat and laugh should chat and laugh.
It was as if they didn't notice the beggar who was kowtowing madly.
These are locals and understand the rules of the inn.
The living residents who are able to survive in the forbidden ancient town are very respectful of various taboos.
If I can avoid violating it, I will never do it.
For those residents who were brave enough to break the taboo, the grass on their graves had already grown more than three feet high.
The clumsy people observed these people carefully and could still tell from their actions and eyes that they could see the existence of the beggar.
But everyone just pretended not to see it.
As time passed, it gradually darkened outside.
There are more and more beggars in restaurants.
There was only one beggar at the beginning, but later on, there were more and more beggars.
From one to a few, and then to a dozen.
Some of them, like the one at the beginning, were simply kowtowing and praying.
Some were lying on the ground, motionless, and looked like they were dead.
There were already mosquitoes and flies flying around the corpse.
Others cursed: "Why are you pretending to be deaf? You can clearly hear it!"
"If you don't help someone in need, you will go to hell!"
"You will not die well! You will not die well!!"
"Why do they have plenty of food and fish while we have to starve?"
"I would just kill them all!"
"The imperial court has clearly allocated grain for disaster relief, don't let these insects eat it all!"
"You dog officer! You dog officer!!"
……
Beggars fell one by one amid cursing and begging.
Then, the body began to rot and was surrounded by mosquitoes and flies.
Another beggar appeared again.
As time went on, they began to stop praying.
Instead, they began to eat the bodies of the dead beggars.
This nightmare-like scene made the players feel very uncomfortable.
It was like experiencing an immersive ancient famine.
Those eyes that turned green with hunger gave people a strong shock.
In modern society, it is rare for people to starve to death.
No matter how poor you are, at least you have something to eat.
If you really have no other choice, go begging on the street.
If you ask for money, people will think you are a scammer and many people will remain indifferent.
However, if all you need is food, there is a high probability that many people will lend a helping hand.
The food I asked for was enough to fill me to death.
Seeing how miserable these beggars were, the players who were eating no longer felt happy.
While others are starving to death here, I am eating meat and white flour buns with hearty mouthfuls.
This kind of thing is still too challenging to one's bottom line.
For them who have received modern education, it will feel very uncomfortable.
If they were human, they would have already divided the food on their table.
There are more and more beggars in the restaurant.
Seeing this, the accountant's face began to become serious.
Something seems to be wrong today.
In the past, beggars sometimes appeared.
But they are just a few in number.
At most, there were only about ten beggars.
It’s not like now, there are already dozens of beggars appearing in the restaurant.
Moreover, they keep dying and popping up.
Could it be that something big is going to happen today?
The accountant had a bad feeling in his heart.
