Doomsday tour
Chapter 73 The Hungry Zhang Yi
Zuo Qingyan's rare and deep tone startled all three people in the car, Xian He swallowed and asked, "You've been fasting for a long time, why are you hungry?"
"I didn't start cultivating in the womb. I was very young at that time, and my hometown had been devastated for three years. I just remember that it was difficult to eat a bowl of porridge with enough rice grains. " Zuo Qingyan recalled his life when he was young and said slowly, "This kind of life lasted for two or three years. At that time, I was only this tall, and I was so hungry that my whole body was full of bones. At that time, there was a little girl next door, Two months younger than me, he chased me all day long and called him brother. One day our family suddenly had a meal of meat porridge. I still remember the taste. It was so delicious that I wanted to chew it up and swallow it. I haven’t seen the youngest brother in the family since then, and I haven’t seen the sister next door either.”
Speaking of this, Zuo Qingyan was silent for a while, with a dazed expression: "At that time, I didn't know what happened. I was hungry again in the middle of the night. I thought that there might be meat porridge left tonight, so I went to Looking for something to eat in the kitchen, the moon was very bright that night, I found a red string by the stove, I recognized that it was the rope tied by the little girl next door... I felt sick for no reason. I vomited by the well for a long time, but unfortunately there was nothing in my stomach, only sour water in my stomach, and I was blinded by vomiting, and I couldn’t even walk.”
"Later, a doctor who practiced medicine came to the village, and he would leave soon after passing through here. My mother begged the doctor to take me as a medicine boy for him. She also knew that I would not be able to survive if I stayed there. I can’t get rid of the pot anymore, and raising a child who can’t carry it on my shoulders is just a mouth to eat, and one day I will either starve to death or be eaten. I left the village like this, and then I vaguely heard that there was a flood there. After the catastrophe, the disease was rampant, and the dead were scattered, so it was so desolate. Later, I followed the doctor to practice medicine and collect medicine. One time, I met a vine demon on the mountain. I was almost taken away, and my soul and body were damaged. I almost became an idiot. My son, but it was a blessing in disguise to meet my master. The master took me to say goodbye to the old doctor, and since then I have embarked on the path of seeking heaven. After a hundred years of my cultivation of immortality, the doctor who saved me in the water and fire has passed away. , no one in my hometown remembers what happened a hundred years ago, whether it was a flood or a famine, but later people have completely forgotten it, and no one knows me. Only then did I vaguely understand what is meant by "the way of heaven has no Jiazi" ’, 400 years ago, people of my age have long since passed away, but I am still alive, and I can even live longer..."
Zuo Qingyan sighed quietly: "Time, fate, and luck are beyond what I can do."
Xianhe held the game console in his hand but stared straight at Zuo Qingyan, and after a while he said softly and obediently: "Brother Zuo, I will make you stewed meat soup tonight."
Zuo Qingyan shook his head lightly: "Actually, it's all the same. I don't feel hungry and full, and naturally I don't feel hungry. It's just that the feeling of having nothing in my stomach always makes people feel uncomfortable. In fact, it's just a little illusion."
Xian He shook his head violently: "No, no, we are not short of food, I will take care of your food, you can eat as much as you want!"
Rong Zijie already faintly felt that something was wrong, peeping at Zuo Qingyan's face with the rearview mirror, this guy had already put away the blank expression of nostalgia, and the joy that could not be hidden in the corners of his eyes and brows.For some reason, he suddenly remembered all the bad deeds that this guy had tried to cheat him of food when he was in the snow mountain camp, and his sympathy was immediately discounted.
This guy's quick wit in "eating" far exceeds that of ordinary people.
It was getting dark, and it was inconvenient to travel on the mountain road at night, and tonight was a full moon. In order to beware of the zombies who were like werewolves who would be extra excited during the full moon, they still honestly found a leeward mountain to stop and rest.
Xianhe eagerly wanted to take care of Zuo Qingyan's meals, and dragged Tu Fei to find firewood, and searched around here to see if there were any living things that could be eaten fresh.Since they left the Southwest Plateau, they walked all the way to the southeast. The Taicang Hills are in the southeast of the Southwest Plateau and the Shanchuan Basin, and the climate is warmer and humid. Thick meat is not afraid of the cold, on the other hand, it is also related to the warmer climate.
Rong Zijie sat in the driver's seat and looked at the surrounding environment with his naked eyes, feeling particularly gloomy for some reason.Zuo Qingyan leaned against the car door and teased Ah-Dai one after another. At first, Ah-Dai was full of joy and bit his fingers. After he realized that he might have been tricked, he began to play dead. Anyway, he was lying on Zuo Qing Yan's knee remained motionless, even though Zuo Qingyan dangled his fingers in front of it, he didn't bother to show his teeth.
"Is what you said... true?" Rong Zijie couldn't help asking.
Although his rationality told him that it was most likely the guy's new tactic of defrauding food, especially at the moment his lazy and careless expression didn't seem to have any childhood shadows at all, but intuitively speaking, he felt that Not a made up story.
"What's real or fake?" Zuo Qingyan asked back without raising his head.
"The story you told."
"Oh, that... what do you think?" Zuo Qingyan asked instead of answering, and still teased Ah-Dai with his fingers, and he didn't get annoyed when Ah-Dai ignored him, but started to poke Ah-Dai's buds instead.
"It's not like." Rong Zijie said after pondering for a while, "killing people for meat... I still find it unimaginable. After all, such a state of famine is localized. As long as the power of centralization is still there, it will mobilize power from other regions to support it. How could it be possible to allow the situation to deteriorate like this and continue for several years? Slaughtering cubs of the same kind is almost a taboo among intelligent creatures. Although I have not been here for a long time, I have not seen cannibalism precedent."
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't have it. You haven't experienced the times of soldiers and disasters, the desolation of the people, and the era of starvation. You have never witnessed the era of starvation. Although there is a catastrophe ahead, hope is still there. Everyone knows this. There will always be an end to your life, as long as you have hope, you can endure and live. You are not from this world, so naturally you don’t understand. You are here to do business—although I think you are more like a joke, you You are just a passer-by, what happened here is nothing but irrelevant knowledge to you, as for what will happen, you here——" Zuo Qingyan pointed to his chest, "I don't care."
Rong Zijie was choked, and couldn't say anything to refute for a moment.
"So although the few of us are very expensive, we are not reluctant to throw them away. It's a pity that the food you provided is gone, and the canned pork is all in my stomach now. This will not be refunded." Zuo Qingyan slowly He said, and immediately covered his stomach and made a painful expression, "Why hasn't Ah Ming come back? He's starving to death."
"I won't lose you."
"Ok?"
"I said, I won't leave you guys behind. I want to continue with you all the way, whether it's to find the relics of cultivation civilization or to investigate other camps, I want to be with you."
The solemn expression on Rong Zijie's face revealed a rare determination: "I regard you as friends, really."
Zuo Qingyan nodded in understanding, raised his brows slightly, and showed an inexplicable smile: "But I don't just regard you as a friend."
"I didn't start cultivating in the womb. I was very young at that time, and my hometown had been devastated for three years. I just remember that it was difficult to eat a bowl of porridge with enough rice grains. " Zuo Qingyan recalled his life when he was young and said slowly, "This kind of life lasted for two or three years.
