"Mengmeng, come, it's dark and the road is slippery, you come with me, ouch!"
As soon as Zheng Jiayi finished speaking, she fell.
Yin Meng stepped forward, first stretched out her hand to help her up, and then "popped" and turned on the waterproof flashlight she was carrying.
"Mengmeng, you are still thoughtful." Zheng Jiayi smiled and patted her pants.
Yin Meng looked at her helplessly.
This is a cheerful, kind, strong and sensible girl, and at the same time quite good-looking.
On the way here, she was either chatting or smiling "hehe", tired of listening to yin cute, but she was not disgusted.
In Yin Meng's life so far, she used to look at the coffin shop, and although she had a partner after coming to Nantong, she never had a real "best friend" role.
Zheng Jiayi is very much in line with this positioning.
Yin Meng felt that he should have frequent contact with her in the future.
Of course, provided she could get out of here alive.
Xiaoyuan has analyzed that Wu Fatzi is too slick and cynical, it is difficult for such a person to make real friends quickly, and as a counselor, there is nothing he can do to exchange interests with "Logo students".
Therefore, Wu Fatzi's line lacks a character with triggering power, Tan Wenbin mentioned Wu Fatzi's beautiful object, and Xiaoyuan took advantage of the trend to predict and supplement his image.
Yin Meng found that Xiaoyuan's guess was almost all correct.
However, Yin Meng did not think that this was Xiaoyuan's clever plan, and the young man's intelligence was reflected in many aspects, not bad for this one.
Yin Meng probably captured this idea, Xiaoyuan used the method of reverse pushing to "create" an image that could impress their team.
Tan Wenbin will eat this set, and he will ...... Eat this set too.
"Mengmeng, my uncle's house is in front, very close, his house lives in the town, hehe."
She is now in a very relaxed mood, thinking that as long as she returns to her hometown and finds the root, her parents' illness can be completely solved.
"Bang bang bang."
Zheng Jiayi began to knock on the door.
"Squeak......
As soon as the knock was knocked, the door was opened, as if this person had been standing behind the door all the time.
Zheng Jiayi was so frightened that she took a few steps down the steps.
Yin Meng pointed the flashlight up, and it was a woman wearing a yellowed and not very well-fitting white shirt.
"Auntie, it's me, Jiayi."
"Jiayi......" The woman raised her hand to block the light.
Yin Meng turned off the flashlight.
"Come into the house, Jiayi."
The woman turned around and walked inside, wearing plastic slippers under her feet, which made a "rustling" sound when walking.
The room was pitch black, and the woman led the two into the hall.
There is a large table in the hall, but miscellaneous items are placed on it, and further back is the kitchen, where there are small tables and chairs, where the family usually eats, and the large table in the hall is only used when entertaining many guests.
There are wooden steps against one wall up, and upstairs is the bedroom.
The woman took out a match, clicked, lit the candle, and a faint light appeared in the hall, but her face was even darker.
"Jiayi, where are your parents?"
"My parents didn't come, I came back alone this time, aunt, I want to stay here at your house for a few days."
"Okay, let's stay."
On the way here, Yin Meng told Zheng Jiayi that the root cause of her parents' illness needed to be investigated slowly and not impatient.
The woman moved the candle to Yin Meng and asked, "Who is she?"
"She is my friend, named Mengmeng, and she came with me."
Yin Meng nodded and said, "Hello Auntie."
"Hello." Immediately, the woman moved the candle back, "Jiayi, have you eaten?"
"We ate on the road, and now I'm not hungry, aunt, you go up and rest."
"I'll take you up."
The woman walked up the stairs with a candle.
Zheng Jiayi and Yin Meng followed.
The wooden stairs kept making a crisp sound, and a few sections were obviously loose when stepped on, probably because they had not been maintained for a long time.
Coming to the second floor, when passing by the master bedroom, a man's voice came from inside:
"Who's coming?"
Auntie: "Jiayi is here."
"Second brother, are they here?"
"No."
Zheng Jiayi shouted: "Uncle, I will take my friend back to my hometown to live for a few days to relax."
"Okay, have you eaten?"
"Eat."
"Well, rest early."
The sound in the room ended.
Yin Meng pricked up her ears and listened carefully, when the previous voice came out, it was almost close to the bedroom door.
Now, I didn't hear the other party walking from the door to the bed.
Is it because I am barefoot without shoes?
But this floor, even if you are barefoot, will make a sound when you step on it.
Yin Meng was only suspicious in her heart, but she couldn't make a conclusion, it's a pity, if only she had as keen hearing as Xiaoyuan.
The woman continued to hold the candle and led the two of them inside.
When I passed by a bedroom on the way, a voice still came from the door: "Is it Sister Jiayi?"
"Well, Brother Daqiang, it's me."
The conversation ended, and it seemed like it was just a conversation for the sake of a conversation.
The woman led them to the guest room, pushed open the door, and put the candle on the table in the room: "The wires at home are burned out, and I didn't have time to fix them, so I got up at night and used candles at night."
"Okay, aunt."
"Rest early."
The woman walked out.
After Yin Meng put down her backpack, she slowly retreated to the door of the room, and from this angle, through the sparse moonlight, she could see the vague figure of the woman walking to the door of the master bedroom.
Just as she was about to open the door, the woman's body suddenly twisted and looked back here, and the moonlight illuminated her eyes with a slight glow.
Yin Meng looked away and reached out to close the door.
The moment he closed the door, there was also the sound of opening and closing the door.
Yin Meng looked at Zheng Jiayi and asked: "Has your aunt always been like this?"
"Well, in my memory, my uncle's family seems to be like this, and my mom and dad have the same attitude."
"Your uncle's family only has one son?"
"Yes, it's Brother Daqiang, five years older than me."
"Aren't you married?"
"No. Mengmeng, you sit down for a while, I'll go downstairs to get some water, let's wash and go to bed, sorry, it's too late now, the conditions are limited, I can't take a shower today."
"You sit here, I'll fetch water."
"I'll go, if there is no water in the stove thermos, I have to go to the yard to fetch well water."
"I live in the countryside for more time than you, stay and don't move."
"Candles, you bring them."
"No, I have a flashlight."
Yin Meng opened the door and walked out, and when she passed by the door of Zheng Daqiang's bedroom, she paused slightly, did not hear any movement, and when she passed by the couple's bedroom, there was no sound.
Walking downstairs along the stairs, Yin Meng came to the kitchen first, in the groove below the kitchen, there were four hot water bottles, two red and two green.
Normally, rural families boil water according to their daily water consumption, with freshly boiled water for drinking and warm water for washing the next day.
Yin Meng mentioned the hot water bottles, the first three were empty, and the last one was solid and heavy, but a little too heavy.
When the plug was pulled out, there was a "squeak" sound inside, and many mice rushed out of it, and Yin Meng immediately stuffed the plug back.
As for the rats that ran out before, they didn't know where they had run now.
Yin Meng turned the hot water bottle sideways, and the bottom was not damaged, which proved that the mice inside were all artificially caught, what is it to catch mice?
The stove was already cold, and Yin Meng opened the lid of the small pot in the middle of the two cauldrons, which contained water but was also cold.
She picked up a large plastic basin, walked to the well in the yard, threw the tin bucket in, let it submerge and pull it up, as if she heard a sound from upstairs.
The room layout on the second floor, the husband and wife's bedroom and Zheng Daqiang's bedroom are both facing the sun, that is, facing this yard, the guest bedroom where he and Zheng Jiayi live is in the shade.
In other words, behind the two windows on the second floor that he can see now is the room of the couple and their son.
Yin Meng calmly brought up the first bucket of water, poured it into the basin, and when she threw the tin bucket in again, Yin Meng turned on the flashlight and shone it on the window on the second floor.
Behind the window on the right, two figures shone out, and behind the window on the left, there was a figure.
When the flashlight light was pulled back and shined again, the three figures disappeared again.
When he fetched water by himself before, Zheng Daqiang and his parents were standing behind the window of the room, and they were standing close to the window.
If I put it aside, I wouldn't live in such a house.
If Xiao Yuan led the team here, according to Xiao Yuan's personality, he might directly order him and Runsheng to rush upstairs and arrest all three of them to see what was going on with them.
But now, she can't do this, because this time her task is to push this clue line to the end, so she can't make anything too out of the ordinary.
After fetching water, carrying the basin, Yin Meng walked up to the second floor again.
There is also a staircase leading to the third floor, probably the attic.
She didn't go up to take a look, but went back to her room, pushed open the door, and Zheng Jiayi sat against the bed, closing her eyes and nodding her head.
After traveling for so long, she was tired and sleepy.
"Ah, you're back." Zheng Jiayi got up and walked over.
"Just sit there, wash."
Yin Meng took out a few bottles of mineral water and towels from her hiking bag.
"Mengmeng, do you like hiking? I see the contents of your backpack, it's so rich."
"Hmm."
"I think it looks very heavy, what else is in it?"
"Some books and some tools."
Mainly corpse retrieval equipment.
The two girls simply washed and then lay down on the bed, Zheng Jiayi slept inside, and Yin Meng slept outside.
The room smelled a bit moldy, and the mattress was the same, but it could barely be covered.
"Mengmeng, where are you from?"
"Sichuan's."
"Is Rongcheng fun?"
"My home is closer to the mountain city."
"No wonder your skin is so good, so white and so smooth." Zheng Jiayi stretched out her hand, hugged Yin Meng's arm and touched it, "I'm so envious."
"You're not bad either."
"It's much worse than you, by the way, do you have a partner?"
"No."
"Why don't you find one?"
"I don't have this plan yet." Yin Meng turned her head to look at Zheng Jiayi and asked, "Do you like your partner?"
"I like it, others are really good, chubby, so cute."
"Okay."
"Moreover, he is also very ambitious, it is difficult to stay in school, he won it, and he also said that he will continue to work hard in the future.
We are both ordinary families in Jinling, I like small animals and children, and I will do a lot of meaningless things in the eyes of many people.
He is willing to see me do this, he is very tolerant of me, I plan to marry him in the future, because in one family, if there is such a me, the other will have to work harder and harder."
"Hehe."
"Mengmeng, what are you laughing at?"
"You still think clearly."
"What about you, what kind of man do you like?"
"I haven't considered this."
"Then who do you usually come into contact with, and do you have any opportunities for development?"
"Don't talk, let's sleep, we will be busier tomorrow, we have to go to your ancestral grave to take a look, and we have to ...... Check it out in this home and try to find the root cause of your parents' illness as soon as possible."
In addition, Yin Meng also planned to wait until dawn to inquire about Xue Liangliang's residence, Xiaoyuan and Runsheng should have arrived long ago.
Zheng Jiayi fell asleep when she said she was asleep, she was like a kitten, snuggling up next to Yin Meng.
Yin Meng also closed her eyes.
But it didn't take long for her eyes to open again, and she had a tingling sensation that she couldn't describe specifically, but it was a little uncomfortable.
Lying on the bed, his eyes wandered around, and finally, he set his eyes on the door of the room.
Wooden houses are prone to cracking, and if they are not repaired regularly, the gaps will become larger and larger.
The gap between the room door and the wall next to it is very large.
Yin Meng kept her breathing steady while reaching for the flashlight placed beside her.
"Snap!"
The flashlight was turned on and shined at the door of the room.
Two reflective balls appear and then quickly disappear.
This means that there was a person standing at the door just now, leaning sideways, so that his eyes could peek into the room through the crack in the door!
……
"No, Brother Hu, do you recognize her family?"
Cars can only be parked on the main street and cannot drive into the alleys on both sides.
After the two got out of the car, they got into an alley, walked along, and came out again.
Okay, for the first time, Tan Wenbin felt that you Hu Yiwei had recognized the wrong way, which is normal, after all, the black light is blind.
But the second, third, and fourth times...... He followed Hu Yiwei in so many alleys for almost two hours, and he still hadn't found Hu Yiwei's ex-wife Zeng Miaomiao's home!
Hu Yiwei said apologetically: "Actually, I have only been to her house once over the years." "Only once?"
"Her parents left early, and there was a grandmother and an older sister at home. Her sister was originally married, but her husband died not long after marriage.
She worked hard when she was in college.
When we got married and held a banquet, her relatives did not come.
In the first year after marriage, during the holidays, my parents still urged me not to see her family members who were not following the rules, so I went back to her hometown with her, which is here.
Her grandmother didn't like to talk, and her sister was also relatively cold, so we stayed here for one night and went back the next day.
After that, we never went back here, and every time I took the initiative to mention it, she refused."
"Then you never thought that since she is not close to her family, why did she suddenly quit her job in Jinling and go back to her hometown and get married on a blind date?"
"Now I think it's strange, but at that time, my mind was very messy, I really couldn't think about so much, it was all the blows and losses of being abandoned by her."
"Brother Hu, you have to be sober, really, life is still very long, and when you look back, these are nothing."
"Thank you, brother, fortunately you are by my side at this time."
"Brother Hu, you should continue to look for her family."
"Why don't we go back to the car to deal with it for a night, and then find someone to ask when there are people on the street at dawn?"
"It's all here, keep looking for it, anyway, I've been looking for it for so long, let's take a look at the rest of the places."
"I'm afraid of tiring you, brother."
"It's okay, it's nothing."
Tan Wenbin is not afraid of being tired, but he is afraid of not being able to keep up with the progress.
He had to go to Xue Liangliang's house after dawn to find Brother Xiaoyuan, if everyone had a meeting and he hadn't found the target, the results would be too ugly.
Finally, when he got into an alley again, Hu Yiwei said excitedly: "I found it, it's this one!"
"Are you sure?"
"That's right, it's this one, you see that there is no gap on this step, it was the time I came back with her, and I was embarrassed to kick out with the soles of my shoes when I was smoking outside."
"You are really quite prescient."
"Then ...... now."
"Knock on the door."
"But, it's so late, they should all be resting."
"Didn't you say you want to come to her directly, don't be cowardly."
"Okay, don't be cowardly." Hu Yiwei took a deep breath and reached out to knock on the door, but as soon as he knocked, the door opened by itself, and he didn't latch the door at all.
"This ......"
"Go in." Tan Wenbin pushed Hu Yiwei.
After walking in, Hu Yiwei shouted: "Miao Miao, Zeng Miao Miao, Miao Miao!"
After a while, there was a sound of the room door opening from the first floor, and a woman wearing a white vest and a long gown walked out.
She was very tall, slightly plump, and about thirty-five years old.
She is definitely not Zeng Miaomiao, but Zeng Miaomiao's sister.
"Yiwei?"
"It's me, Sister Yin, I'm here to find Miao Miao, she's at home, right?"
Zeng Miaomiao's sister is called Zeng Yinyin.
"Miao Miao is already asleep."
"Sister Yin, help me get Miao Miao up, there are some things I want to make clear to her."
"You are divorced."
"I know we are divorced, but I still have to ask some things clearly, otherwise I won't be reconciled."
"You go, Miao Miao doesn't want to see you."
"Sister Yin, please, let me meet Miao Miao, Miao Miao! Miao Miao! Miao Miao!"
At this time, the old lady's scolding came from the second floor:
"What are you shouting about, don't disturb the neighbors, stay first, talk about anything after dawn, and shout again, old woman, I will call the neighbors and beat you out!"
Hu Yiwei looked at Tan Wenbin.
Tan Wenbin saw that he was cowardly again.
"Okay, then stay first, Ming." Tan Wenbin felt that he had completed his initial goal, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Okay, okay." Hu Yiwei hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Zeng Yinyin pointed to the room opposite the first floor: "Sleep in that room, there is a bed, you are not allowed to go up to the second floor."
"Okay."
Zeng Yinyin walked back to her room.
Hu Yiwei and Tan Wenbin walked to the door of the room, pushed open the door, and it was quite clean, with an old-fashioned bed and a mosquito net, big enough to squeeze in two men.
"Binbin, go to sleep, you have really worked hard today, you have run so far for my business, when I return to Jinling, I will treat you to a good meal."
"Brothers, don't talk about this. I'll go to the well and flush my feet."
"Then I'll go too."
The courtyard and the hall on the first floor of this house are very small, because there are two rooms on the first floor, which are crowded.
Tan Wenbin bent down to remove the cover on the wellhead and found that it was welded with iron sheets, and the well could not be used at all.
"Brother Hu, go to the kitchen and see if there are any hot water bottles or anything like that."
"This is not appropriate......
"What's wrong with me, is my ex-husband also a brother?"
"I ......."
"Okay, okay, you go back to the house, I'll find it. The two old men rushed for a day, and they couldn't smoke themselves to death if they didn't wash their feet and sleep at night."
Hu Yiwei nodded and went back to the room.
Tan Wenbin walked through the hall and came to the kitchen, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he was startled by a black coffin placed here.
"Oh huh!"
The kitchen is the place where the earthen stove is used for the stove prince, and normal people would not put it here even if the coffin was to be parked at home.
Tan Wenbin observed a little and found that the coffin was a bit old, and it was not nailed to the coffin, and the contact position of the coffin lid had obvious scratches and no dust.
This means that the lid of the coffin is often opened.
He sniffed his nose and didn't smell the corpse, and he also saw some rice bran on the coffin, which meant that the family used this coffin as a grain storage cabinet.
But Tan Wenbin still didn't open the coffin without permission and check it again.
Because according to Brother Xiaoyuan's backward thinking combined with his own reality, it is impossible for him to truly make friends with someone like Hu Yiwei, at least not in a short period of time.
So the only one who can "touch" himself is probably Fan Shulin, and the prerequisite for Fan Shulin to "touch" himself is that the original Hu Yiwei had an accident here a month later.
The problem is not necessarily in this house, but there is a probability of problems in this house.
Carrying a hot water bottle, Tan Wenbin walked back, and when he passed the stairs up, he looked up.
There was actually a door at the place where the stairs led to the second floor, and that door was now closed.
What a strange design this is.
Grandma and her little granddaughter who came home from divorce slept on the second floor, and the eldest granddaughter slept downstairs alone, with a door in the middle.
Forget it, I'll report to Brother Xiaoyuan tomorrow.
Tan Wenbin returned to the room and closed the door.
The water in the thermos was warm, and after washing their feet, they lay down on the bed and started sleeping.
Hu Yiwei drove for a day, fell asleep first, and began to grind his teeth.
Tan Wenbin didn't feel noisy, after all, when he and Runsheng slept on the first floor of Uncle Li's house in the past, he would compete with Runsheng every night to see who would snort louder.
Gradually, Zhuang Zhuang also fell asleep.
Falling asleep, Zhuang Zhuang felt a little itchy in his eyes, as if there were layers of cobwebs attached to them, which was very clingy.
He raised his hand and started scratching.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Tan Wenbin immediately lowered his hands and remained motionless.
The footsteps came from far to near, and what surprised Tan Wenbin was that the other party was still outside the house before, and now he was almost by the bed, but the door of the room was closed and he was still latched.
Could it be that he has gone yin?
Isn't it at least a month in advance, and this is starting to go wrong?
Tan Wenbin felt a little panicked, recently, everyone has received special training, but unlike the other two, his training is on the lips.
If there is a physical death, he can still pick up a bucket of the Yellow River, but he really has no way to do this kind of inexplicable thing, but he has seen some stupid methods and processes in his books, but he has to open an offering table and set up an altar, which is not practical.
Therefore, he could only once again sacrifice the life-saving methods taught to him when he encountered evil spirits, and silently thought in his heart: I can't see you, I can't see you......
Soon, there was movement at the end of the bed, as if someone had climbed onto the bed.
Tan Wenbin felt a coolness coming from his right foot, and then the coolness kept moving upwards, to his calves, to his thighs, to his lower abdomen, and to his chest......
If it comes to his neck next, Tan Wenbin will definitely open his eyes and not pretend, he still has a broken talisman in his pocket, it's a big deal!
But the other party did not touch his neck, but put his hand on his right shoulder.
His right shoulder was cold, and the other party seemed to want to get up by himself.
But I just can't get up and continue to "sleep".
However, he didn't move, but Hu Yiwei, who was lying next to him, moved, and it could be detected from the movement that he sat up, got out of bed, and then walked out barefoot and without shoes.
"Click...... the sound of the door latch being opened.
"Huh?" Next, Tan Wenbin's consciousness was dizzy, and then the whole person had the illusion of "quickly floating".
He opened his eyes suddenly, as if he had just had a dream.
The tingling sensation around his eyes disappeared, and when he turned his head, Hu Yiwei next to him was gone.
He hurriedly got out of bed and put on his shoes, and walked to the door of the room, where the latch was pulled open and the door was just closed.
"Hiss......"
He is here to push clues, he has to dig out something to report to Brother Xiaoyuan, but he can't just be a shrunken turtle, the necessary risks still have to be taken.
Gently pull the door open a little more and carefully walk out.
When I came to the hall, I didn't find anything unusual.
Tan Wenbin thought of the coffin in the kitchen, but just as he was about to tiptoe to the kitchen to take a look, he heard suppressed movement from Zeng Yinyin's room.
Huh?
Tan Wenbin tiptoed and came to the door of Zeng Yinyin's room step by step.
The closer the distance, the clearer the sound inside, the rhythmic muffled humming between men and women.
There were no lights in the house, but the weather was nice tonight, so there was plenty of moonlight, and the moonlight penetrated through the windows, which also brought some visibility to the house.
Tan Wenbin brought his eyes to the crack of the door and looked inside, and this position happened to be able to see the bed in the room.
The two bodies are stacked on top of each other, doing the most primitive movements.
But this kind of thing will definitely not be completed by one party alone, the woman should be Zeng Yinyin, is the man ...... Hu Yiwei?
Of course he knew that Hu Yiwei was not so angry that he wanted to take revenge on his sister-in-law, but it was clear that something dirty had just entered the room and "shouted" Hu Yiwei out.
And most likely, the dirty thing originally wanted to call himself.
If you can't go yin and can't resist it, doesn't that mean that the man on the bed now will become yourself?
At this time, the rhythm in the room became high-pitched, and the gasps of men and women were mixed with some voices, and they became louder.
While men and women shout each other's names, there are also swear words that come out when street gangsters fight.
Like two duelists, after a fierce battle, they entered the critical moment when the bayonet was red.
Moreover, both sides speak the same dialect.
Hu Yiwei has only been here once, and most of that time he was still standing outside, competing with the steps, how could he learn the local dialect.
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
Two closing sounds came from the room at the same time.
Tan Wenbin left here silently and walked back, as soon as he entered the house and closed the door, the sound of the door opening came from the room opposite.
Tan Wenbin immediately went to bed and pretended to be asleep.
His eyes had the previous tingling sensation again, as if something was sticking to it again, which was a trend of going yin again.
The movement of the door being pushed open came, followed by the sound of the door latching.
Then, Tan Wenbin sensed someone lying down beside him.
Immediately, there were footsteps drifting away.
But Tan Wenbin didn't open his eyes and still lay still.
Count the time in your mind, one minute, five minutes, ten minutes...... Half an hour.
When Tan Wenbin felt that he could open his eyes to check Hu Yiwei's situation, there were footsteps in the room again.
In an instant, he only felt a chill in his back, damn it, that dirty thing hasn't left yet!
After being frightened, his mind became clearer.
Yes, if the dirty thing is gone, it will end when you go to the yin, as long as you are still in the yin state, it means that the dirty thing is still nearby.
Tan Wenbin continued to hold on.
At first, he could still consciously pretend to be asleep, but soon, he was overdrawn and really passed out due to mental overdraft.
When I woke up, it was already dawn.
Sunlight shines through windows and room gaps, providing a great sense of security.
"Hiss...... My head hurts."
Tan Wenbin sat up while rubbing his forehead, he finally understood how terrifying it was when Brother Xiaoyuan was overdrawn to the point of blindness.
Hu Yiwei hadn't woken up yet, still lying beside him.
Tan Wenbin looked down at him and saw that Hu Yiwei's eyes were dark, his eye bags were extremely serious, his lips were white, and his whole person looked extremely haggard.
When he looked down again, Tan Wenbin's eyes widened: I saw Hu Yiwei's crotch, which was crimson!
He hurriedly pushed Hu Yiwei, and after Hu Yiwei was pushed a few times, he turned sideways and continued to grind his teeth while talking in his sleep:
"Miao Miao, Miao Miao, hehe, you are so good, my Miao Miao ......"
Tan Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was just overdrawn, but his life was not in danger.
"Miao Miao, I love you, don't leave me, don't leave me......"
Tan Wenbin shook his head, this is about to be squeezed dry, and he is still dreaming.
At this time, there were footsteps outside, Tan Wenbin immediately turned over and got out of bed, came to his hiking bag and opened the zipper on one side, the handle of the Yellow River shovel was here.
The door was pushed open, Zeng Yinyin stood at the door, she glanced at Hu Yiwei lying on the bed, then looked at Tan Wenbin standing there, and asked:
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Not hungry, not hungry."
"But I've already made the meal, let's eat it."
