Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2106 Black Bug
He thought: I don't know when the chief will come. It would be great if he could catch her singing again! Otherwise, will the chief be furious and do something to me?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He was afraid of ghosts and also of the clan leader. In order to avoid being punished by the clan leader, he thought that even if the singing was really made by a ghost, he hoped that the singing would appear again. Of course, he hoped that even if "she" was really a ghost, the ghost would not hurt people.

At noon, he took out the food he brought and started eating on the spot. Suddenly, he bit his tongue. He actually thought that it might be caused by something he did not do carefully.

So he put the steamed bun in his hand into the bag, stood facing the stone with complicated patterns on it, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and muttered something to the effect that he was hungry and wanted to eat. He would place one of the steamed buns on a clean mat like an offering, and he would not eat it himself, but anyone who was hungry could come and eat it.

Next, he did as he said, took out a clean mat from his bag and spread it next to the stone where he was sitting. He placed a steamed bun on the mat, and then he began to eat the steamed bun that he had already eaten some of.

After eating a few bites, he found the steamed bun a bit choking, so he took out the water he brought with him and drank it.

After taking a few sips, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that there seemed to be something black on top of the steamed bun placed next to him as a "tribute".

When he looked down, he was so scared that he choked on the water.

It turned out that there was a thick black bug as long as his palm crawling on the "tribute" bun! The bug was soft and was eating leisurely on the bun.

He didn't know what kind of insect it was, but he thought it looked very scary, so he immediately stood up with the bun he was eating.

Tie Wandao's men thought: I don't even know what kind of bug this is, so I shouldn't treat it as a bug. Maybe it's someone's reincarnation. It's willing to eat my buns, so that should be a good thing, right?
He thought that the reason he was choked by the water before was because he had only placed the steamed buns there as a "tribute" but did not provide water. So he immediately put the steamed buns in the bag on his body, stood facing the stone with complex patterns on the bottom again, put his hands together in front of his chest, and silently said something, to the effect that he was negligent in not taking out the water just now, and he would take it out right away.

After saying this, he spilled some of the water he drank onto the ground.

Now he felt at ease and continued eating.

The sun was shining brightly at that time. Under normal circumstances, he would hide in the shade because he didn't want to be exposed to the sun. However, at this moment, he felt that the sunlight shining on his body could reduce his inner fear to a certain extent, so not only did he not hide, but he also hoped that the sunlight would be stronger.

When he was about to take another sip of water, he was worried about choking again. Seeing that the water he had poured on the ground seemed to be almost dry, he sprinkled some more water on the ground before drinking it, and then drank it with peace of mind.

From then on, every time he drank water, he would sprinkle some on the ground before drinking it, and he did not choke afterwards.

After he had eaten his fill and sprinkled some water on the ground, he took another sip of water and thought lunch was over.

He wanted to go back to the stone where he had been sitting, but the thick black insect was still crawling on the steamed bun, basking in the sun.
