Chapter 36 Food
=====================
After Prince Huaheng arrived in the capital, he didn't have any time to rest.First, he was urgently called into the palace to have an audience with Emperor Huahan, and explained in detail what he had gained from the Beidouying trip, and then he arranged for the Beidouying group who came to the capital with him to rest first, and then sent someone to summon King Anshun to understand the current situation of the capital. In response to the situation, the fifth prince made some arrangements when he was not in the capital. He was busy from the first day of Gaozhao to the rising of the jade rabbit, and finally had a private time to take a breather.
He sat in the study room, put down his pen with a long breath, looked up and saw the cold drinks and dishes on the table beside him, and then remembered that the Crown Princess had visited before, but after only a few words, he went down to inform Anshun The king came to visit, so the princess just put down the food and wine and then quietly withdrew.
Thinking of his beloved wife and clever son, Hua Heng finally got a little bit of attention out of his mind full of checks and balances and changes in the situation, and a trace of warmth emerged in his heart.He got up and sat down at the desk, and immediately recognized the handicraft of the princess.The few side dishes are all his favorite flavors. They look simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection they are very delicate and thoughtful.Although he was probably extremely tired and didn't feel hungry, he still ate a few mouthfuls with his chopsticks.
After pouring a glass of wine, Hua Heng was in a daze for a moment, thinking about his son who would soon be seven years old.When he was a boy of thirteen or fourteen, he also met a child who was about the same age as his son in this study.
At that time, there was a long talk, and he was obviously not very old, but he had such a precocious and intelligent mind. When he was secretly startled by it, he might not have cherished his talents.It's just that the emperor's mentality taught since he was a child allowed him to strictly and rationally choose the best plan he could see, and still carried out the original plan.
Time goes by, and things are changing now.Hua Heng suddenly felt that no matter in the past or now, he seemed to never really understand that person's mind.
He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put the wine cup on the table, and knocked lightly. When Hua Heng raised his eyes, the last bit of personal sigh had been annihilated, and only peace remained.
No matter the past is right or wrong, He Liang, I will use this cup as a memorial to the acquaintance of you and me. On the road to Huangquan, you will never be lonely.
At this time, his fifth younger brother, who is harmful to the country and the people, should be killed.
At this time, in the palace, a palace room is filled with a sweet atmosphere.
Behind the embroidered curtains, on the big bed, a long-haired beauty in a complicated palace dress was pressing on a man. Layers of gorgeous clothes were spread out like butterfly wings, and tightly bound like spider webs. prey.Under the misty light, the fair skin reflected a pearl-like soft luster.A few laughs flowed.
Breathe intertwined, the beauty leaned close to the man, and her low and gentle voice carried another kind of seductiveness, asking in the man's ear again and again:
"Tell me, do you like it? Love me?"
The man's breath was unsteady, and he replied in a hoarse voice: "I like it...Of course I like it...I love you to death!" He raised his head, bewilderedly begging for mercy from the gods in his heart.
Laughter poured out, and the beauty snuggled up to each other intimately, giving each other the highest reward.
When the man was completely intoxicated by it and his perception dropped to the lowest level, the beauty's thin white hands touched his neck, and between the hands, a faint golden light shone.
Everything happens in an instant.
The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a "hoo" in his throat. A line of blood quickly spread out from his neck, and there was still a look of joy on his handsome face that hadn't faded away in time.His body shook suddenly, he twitched a few times and swallowed his breath.
The golden thread that was still deeply strung into the other party's neck was wrapped between her fingers, and the beauty seemed unaware of the other party's change, kissed the thin lips affectionately, and whispered happily between her lips and teeth: "Really? I accept it. I'm so glad you love me so much."
The beauty put her face on the chest that was completely silent, felt the warm breath that was still there, caressed it gently like a small animal for a moment, closed her eyes, burst into a beautiful smile, and said: "I love you too ,extremely love."
Love is rare, it needs to be carefully watered, patiently cared for, and then let it stop for a long time when it is the most enthusiastic.The warmth is perishable, and it is even more precious. Only at this moment, it is worth him to open his arms and accept the taste.Then all the tumult receded, all restlessness ceased, and only a certain deep, gentle stillness surrounded him.
The frantic echoes in his mind were temporarily satisfied, and he calmed down and waited for the next offering to be poured.
On the gorgeous big bed soaked in blood and filth, the long black hair was winding down, revealing half of the delicate face, a mole of tears was particularly charming and moving.The fifth prince, Huagui, leaned against the corpse, and with a childlike pure smile, fell into a deep sleep.
When the morning light first shone, as the slight footsteps approached, a woman's exclamation sounded in the hall.
"Your Highness! How can you do such a thing in your empress' court dress!"
Hua Gui still maintained the posture of leaning against the corpse's chest, and slowly opened his eyes.As soon as the maid who was anxious and flustered came into contact with those strange purple eyes, she immediately remembered the temper of the person in front of her, subconsciously stopped her mouth, and lowered her head docilely.
The noisy and chaotic world, carrying dark and manic emotions, roared and swept again.
Hua Gui sat up, as if separating from the skin that was in close contact with the man, a little sticky blood flowed down.He got up from the bed, without even looking at the maid, walked past her barefoot with a dagger in his hand, and ordered with some annoyance: "Get rid of the things on the bed, and make it clean."
Walking to the outer room, the followers have already been waiting here.As if he didn't see the dress and the big blood stains on Huagui's body, and he didn't smell the pungent smell, he devoted himself to the fifth prince's orders.
"Tell those guys that the new gift is pretty good, and I agree to it." Hua Gui clenched his fist on his chin and said in a manly voice.The entourage responded respectfully, but did not move.
Sure enough, Hua Gui immediately said:
"I'll leave this matter to you. Go check out those Beidou battalion people, find out if there are any new faces in there, sort out a copy of the information and give it to me."
The tails of the eyes were raised, and the purple eyes were sparkling. Hua Gui seemed to think of something suddenly, and gave a soft snort with unknown meaning.
His elder brother, the prince, must be about to lose his temper and is ready to strike.
Combing his fingers through his hair, he casually made a circle at the end of the hair. He flicked the blood stains on his hands with a little disgust, and ordered: "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."
Where should I find a new gift today?
Somewhere in the western part of the Central Plains, what was supposed to be a bustling city is now in ruins.The city gate was open like a big black mouth. Looking from the jagged city wall, the scorched ruins and the mutilated figures wandering among them showed the fact that it had been captured by the demon army.Human heads hung on the gate of the city, with protruding eyes and wide open mouths, as if silently screaming their unwillingness and desolation to the sky.
A man in black armor rode a tall beast with a black body and a black cloth on its head, which looked like a horse with sparse hair, and stopped in front of the city gate.
He raised his head, glanced across the row of heads, and paused on one of the round and fat heads like a ball, and recognized its original identity from the deformed facial features.
The prefect of the county.
Immediately remembered the relevant information.
The person who always laughs and laughs is a character who is as old as dough, but he handles affairs quite well.The weakness is that he is fond of food, and most of his salary is spent on food.There is a mother and a brother, two sons and a daughter.
The only information worth remembering from the data is this, but one can be added now.
The monsters invaded the Central Plains and held on until the end. The city was destroyed and perished.
Withdrawing his gaze, he got off his mount and led the beast into the city.
In the dilapidated and obstacle-filled ruins, he walked extremely calmly, as if he was visiting somewhere with a beautiful scenery, but his progress was not slow.The wandering corpses don't seem to be interested in this visitor, and he doesn't take the initiative to provoke them. Only the corpses in his path will be slashed by the swift light of the knife, like a rag doll without any resistance was thrown far aside.
Although he didn't see anything that could be called troublesome for the time being, he was not in a good mood.Because deep in the soul, the restless hunger is faintly showing signs of recovery.
The Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and then he realized his movement, and frowned in some trouble.
He had tried cooked dishes, fresh raw meat and even live poultry before, but it was useless, no matter how much that kind of thing was, his stomach would send it out with quite strong resistance.After several tosses, he had to give up, and turned his attention to the target that his appetite guided him to choose—human beings.
Cannibalism is quite a new experience, although whether it is a newly dead human being or a corpse that is about to be infected, if psychological factors are not considered, it is actually no different from a piece of wood or a leaf to him—except that it can Effectively soothe the burning hunger from the soul.
The fresher the meat, the faster the hunger will disappear.But for some reason, he didn't want to hunt the living, so he had to work harder to find fresh corpses.
The walking corpses in the city obviously overlapped most of his recipes, and after the tens of thousands of insatiable diners dug three feet into the ground, there was nothing left to eat.So he had no choice but to quicken his pace and leave the city quickly, intending to try his luck on the road.
Not long after riding the beast back on the road, he suddenly controlled the mount and changed direction.
The senses that became more sensitive because of hunger told him that there was "food" there.
No, judging from the breath, perhaps it should be said that it may become the existence of "food" in the future.
is alive, and—
The corners of the mouth under the black mask slowly raised.
--a lot of.
But before his action, those auras ran towards him instead.He tilted his head, and suddenly stopped walking, and the smile on his mouth grew wider.
A thin boy in ragged clothes ran towards this direction at an almost impossible speed for his age, as if he was being chased by a brute force demon.When he saw a stranger riding on a "horse", his eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and he suddenly increased his running speed. He rolled a few times in embarrassment and came to the side of the man's mount. Looking at him, he tried his best to pray and shouted: "Help! Help me!"
Immediately after them came a group of panting refugees holding rough sticks and other objects, among them were even skinny women and gray-haired old men.When they saw the stranger, they were also taken aback, stopped hesitantly, and looked at this side vigilantly.When the pair of deeply sunken eyes looked at the "horse", it almost seemed to emit a green light.But probably because of the long knife on the man's side, he restrained himself from making any big moves.
A relatively muscular, short, middle-aged man stood up and shouted, "Baby, come here!"
The boy trembled, leaned closer to the rider like a drowning man looking for driftwood, and shouted: "No!" He turned to the man who was sitting on the beast watching all this, and begged with trembling lips, "Save me!" Help me! They...they're going to eat me! Please!" Kowtowed his head in a panic, a burst of dust flew up, and within a moment, a dent appeared on the ground.
The boy was busy kowtowing wholeheartedly, when he suddenly felt a chill on his shoulders, the chill almost made him scream out loud.Then there was a force coming from there, and he was pulled up involuntarily
The boy turned his head flusteredly, and saw that the rider who had been silent all this time had dismounted, let go of the hand holding his shoulder just now, and was looking up at the middle-aged man opposite him.He let out a big breath, and hastily hid behind the rider, trembling uncontrollably, his teeth cracking, and he couldn't help but squeeze his lips even more desperately.
The short, middle-aged man stared, as if he wanted to get angry, but swallowed his saliva under the rider's gaze, and changed his mind.He tried his best to find an appropriate address, and said, "This... sir!" As if he was very proud of himself for using such a sophisticated address, and consciously shortened the distance between them, he relaxed a lot and sighed , Said: "Sir, we can't do anything! Being chased by those monsters, we finally got here. There is nothing to eat, and we can't dig out food from the soil. This is what God wants us to do." Way to go! Big and small, with so many mouths, you can’t starve to death. You know how hard it is for a half-baby to eat a poor old man! We didn’t miss a bite of food. We can’t survive now, and we can still live without the child , the adult is gone, and the child can’t live. His mother agrees to this matter.” He pulled a woman next to him and asked her, “My mother, you say, you say it yourself, isn’t it so?”
The woman's features looked exactly like the boy's, only older, more decrepit, and more withdrawn.She shrugged her shoulders, nodded, and mustered up the courage to say loudly: "I am willing." She didn't dare to look in the direction of the boy, retreated into the crowd, and began to cry.
"Don't cry, don't cry." The middle-aged man looked at her and sighed again. When he turned to the rider, even the wrinkles on his face seemed a lot heavier.He said: "Sir, you are capable. It is a blessing for Yazi to meet you. You have to protect him. We here are old, weak, sick and disabled, so we have nothing to say. But in this world, whoever lives to the end It’s not easy now. If you show kindness, can you give some food? There are still a few people in our place who are too hungry to walk. Even a morsel of dry food may save a life. My old Lin will not say a lie Words! Sir, if you don’t believe me, just take a look and you’ll know. We really can’t help it! Alas.” A big man wiped his face as he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he began to cry.Most of the people also lowered their heads, wiping their eyes indiscriminately, and hanging down the sticks in their hands.
The smell of food lingered in the nose, and the feeling became more and more sweet.The rider smiled and finally opened his mouth: "Since you said so, then go and have a look."
The feelings expressed by these people are very real in his opinion, and the only sense of disobedience is that they are all too "fragrant".It made his sense of hunger suddenly more vivid.
If the living people looked like a delicacy to him, the newly dead corpses were ordinary dry food, and the long-dead corpses were leftovers from the previous night, then including the boy who was closely behind him at this time, these People gave him the feeling that he was no less than a table of delicacies with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes.
There was a similar but much fainter smell. He had smelled it from the wounded soldiers before, but there was obviously no blood or wounds on these people.Even in order to prevent being infected by the epidemic, although each of them was disheveled, it could be seen that they tried their best to clean themselves up.It is not difficult to see that this is a team with rich experience in exile. Judging from the accent of the middle-aged man, it looks like the earliest group of refugees who fled from the south.
It would seem interesting to investigate the origin of this delicious sensation.He led the animals and followed those people who were returning to the temporary residence not far or near, smiling happily.
It's great, this way, I won't be bored at last.This kind of expectation made most of the discomfort caused by having to eat human flesh disappear.
Thank you for bringing this surprise, little guy with a little secret in his arms.
The boy behind him shivered, and couldn't help reaching out to press his chest. Feeling the hard touch of something in his arms, he subconsciously licked his lips, showing a look of aftertaste, another jiggle put down his hand, and looked up. Seeing the rider walking forward without looking back, he quickened his pace and followed closely.
But they never had a chance to see the temporary residence again.
Many shaky figures, wearing broken armor, holding spears and swords, running towards this side, appeared on the horizon in the distance.
"Corpse soldiers! Run!" There was a loud cry, and the crowd ran in the opposite direction with a bang, and a certain degree of order was maintained amidst the chaos.The old people were supported by the young people nearby, and the women held hands in twos and threes to help each other. Although the men were also running away, they slowed down more or less. As for the separation, there is a hint of battle.
The rider stood still, observing the scene with great interest.Flanks of the crowd ran past him, without giving him or the boy behind him a look.The boy suddenly took a step forward, as if he wanted to run away with the crowd, but then he stopped, took a peek at the rider, and stood back behind him, clenching his teeth tremblingly, and clenched his fists tightly.
The rider seemed unaware of the boy's small movements, and continued to watch the crowd running away until they disappeared from sight.Only then did he turn his head and look at the group of corpses that were close enough to see their rotting faces clearly.
The rider even had the mood to turn around, and said "wait here" to the boy, and then walked towards the group of corpses, drew his two knives, with the usual smile on his lips.
It's rare to look forward to it, and it was destroyed by these guys.In a bad mood, just kill them.
With the light of the knife, a one-sided killing kicked off.
The boy looked at the man who was chopping up the corpses like melons and vegetables, swallowed, took a step back, and quietly leaned against the beast.
The feel of the firm tendons in his hands made the boy move suddenly.With a quickness and agility that didn't match the flinching just now, he sprinted a small step, reached out and grabbed the rein, and pulled the sparse hair on the beast's neck to climb up its back.His movements were so quick and flexible that an ordinary person might not even realize what he was doing.But this "horse" was more vigilant, and avoided his hand with a raised neck, and immediately took a step back.
The boy was so anxious that fine beads of sweat emerged from the tip of his nose.While paying attention to the situation on the other side of the man, he desperately pulled the rein and grabbed it again. The beast moved away from the side. The boy didn't grab the hair, but grabbed the black cloth that had been covering the beast's head, and followed the beast. With a sideways movement, there was a ripping sound, and it was ripped off!
From a close distance, a human head stared at the boy, and its protruding mouth spewed out a foul breath like those walking corpses at him. The two eyes that grew just above the mouth were extremely wide apart, almost reaching the sides of the head.The bridle passes through its forehead, leaving two black holes.Those eyes stared at him motionlessly, and suddenly stretched out their heads.
The boy let out a piercing scream and staggered around to run away.But in a hurry, the rein was wrapped around his hand, and he couldn't pull it no matter how he swung it.While screaming to avoid the head of the beast following closely, he backed away desperately, and fumbled his other hand into his bosom in a panic.
The man who was observing the situation here from the corner of his eye hacked to death the corpse soldier beside him with a single knife, and was about to leave.
The man's figure didn't move, but the boy who was desperately retreating over there had sprained a bit. Before he could stand still, the beast with his head up and back pulled the reins, and he swooped forward fiercely, and he froze on the ground and remained motionless all of a sudden. up.
This change happened in an instant.When the man arrived, the animal was bowing its head and arching the boy's head on the ground, the other end of the rein on the head was still in the boy's hand.
After waving the beast away, the human head turned to the other side a little aggrieved.The man turned the boy over and saw a bloodstain staining the front of the boy's clothes red, while the boy's hand was still stretched out in his arms.He stretched out his hand and pulled open the boy's skirt, holding a dagger against his chest with that hand, most of the dagger was obliquely inserted into the boy's chest.
died.
The man smiled wryly, stood up, and hacked to death the remaining corpse soldiers.
Turning around, he sat next to the boy.
A quiet and elegant meal.
Not long after, he rode away on the beast, leaving behind a skeleton, several stumps, and a dagger stained with blood.
There are still about four days away from Xiliang.
After he was away for about half a day, the crowd returned to the place.
When they saw the skeleton, they were stunned, with an indescribable disappointment on their faces.The middle-aged man walked over, lowered his head to pick up the traces on the bones, and then raised his head to look at the scattered remains of corpse soldiers not far in front of him. He suddenly yelled, showing an expression of incomparable anger and hatred.
He picked up the dagger, turned around and waved it at the crowd, roaring, "It's hunting—that man is a hunter like us! He ate offspring! He violated the teaching!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd chattered in an uproar.The boy's mother jumped out of the crowd and rushed to the skeleton, crying bitterly.
"We are natural selection believers, we hunt with strength, brains and unity! Eat the kind, let them be with us! Eat the selfish, let them be nourishment! Eat the sacrificial companions, let them go By the side of the gods! Be with blessings! Eating alone is the most despicable act! The gods will punish him with the most terrifying disaster!"
All the people, including the woman who was still crying a moment ago, straightened up and yelled: "Punishment!" Their faces were full of fanaticism.
The middle-aged man picked up the stumps around him, carefully not missing even the tiniest piece.He solemnly handed one of the finger-sized pieces to the woman's hand, and said: "This boy is a good guy! You have to work hard, and work hard for his share. In the future, you will return to the gods, and the boy will come back! The gods will remember you thing!"
Under the envious eyes of the people, the woman sobbed and took the stump, nodded, stuffed the stump into her mouth, chewed devoutly, and swallowed it.
At the same time, there are such small groups active in many places in China.Unity, survival, xenophobia, sacrifice - the teachings of natural selection are the same as the plague, even faster than the plague. It is a breeding ground for the panicked people who have lived in peace for a long time but suddenly suffered from war. Time, spread rapidly from countless corners.
After Prince Huaheng arrived in the capital, he didn't have any time to rest.First, he was urgently called into the palace to have an audience with Emperor Huahan, and explained in detail what he had gained from the Beidouying trip, and then he arranged for the Beidouying group who came to the capital with him to rest first, and then sent someone to summon King Anshun to understand the current situation of the capital.

Not long after riding the beast back on the road, he suddenly controlled the mount and changed direction.
The senses that became more sensitive because of hunger told him that there was "food" there.
No, judging from the breath, perhaps it should be said that it may become the existence of "food" in the future.
is alive, and—
The corners of the mouth under the black mask slowly raised.
--a lot of.
But before his action, those auras ran towards him instead.He tilted his head, and suddenly stopped walking, and the smile on his mouth grew wider.
A thin boy in ragged clothes ran towards this direction at an almost impossible speed for his age, as if he was being chased by a brute force demon.When he saw a stranger riding on a "horse", his eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and he suddenly increased his running speed. He rolled a few times in embarrassment and came to the side of the man's mount. Looking at him, he tried his best to pray and shouted: "Help! Help me!"
Immediately after them came a group of panting refugees holding rough sticks and other objects, among them were even skinny women and gray-haired old men.When they saw the stranger, they were also taken aback, stopped hesitantly, and looked at this side vigilantly.When the pair of deeply sunken eyes looked at the "horse", it almost seemed to emit a green light.But probably because of the long knife on the man's side, he restrained himself from making any big moves.
A relatively muscular, short, middle-aged man stood up and shouted, "Baby, come here!"
The boy trembled, leaned closer to the rider like a drowning man looking for driftwood, and shouted: "No!" He turned to the man who was sitting on the beast watching all this, and begged with trembling lips, "Save me!" Help me! They...they're going to eat me! Please!" Kowtowed his head in a panic, a burst of dust flew up, and within a moment, a dent appeared on the ground.
The boy was busy kowtowing wholeheartedly, when he suddenly felt a chill on his shoulders, the chill almost made him scream out loud.Then there was a force coming from there, and he was pulled up involuntarily
The boy turned his head flusteredly, and saw that the rider who had been silent all this time had dismounted, let go of the hand holding his shoulder just now, and was looking up at the middle-aged man opposite him.He let out a big breath, and hastily hid behind the rider, trembling uncontrollably, his teeth cracking, and he couldn't help but squeeze his lips even more desperately.
The short, middle-aged man stared, as if he wanted to get angry, but swallowed his saliva under the rider's gaze, and changed his mind.He tried his best to find an appropriate address, and said, "This... sir!" As if he was very proud of himself for using such a sophisticated address, and consciously shortened the distance between them, he relaxed a lot and sighed , Said: "Sir, we can't do anything! Being chased by those monsters, we finally got here. There is nothing to eat, and we can't dig out food from the soil. This is what God wants us to do." Way to go! Big and small, with so many mouths, you can’t starve to death. You know how hard it is for a half-baby to eat a poor old man! We didn’t miss a bite of food. We can’t survive now, and we can still live without the child , the adult is gone, and the child can’t live. His mother agrees to this matter.” He pulled a woman next to him and asked her, “My mother, you say, you say it yourself, isn’t it so?”
The woman's features looked exactly like the boy's, only older, more decrepit, and more withdrawn.She shrugged her shoulders, nodded, and mustered up the courage to say loudly: "I am willing." She didn't dare to look in the direction of the boy, retreated into the crowd, and began to cry.
"Don't cry, don't cry." The middle-aged man looked at her and sighed again. When he turned to the rider, even the wrinkles on his face seemed a lot heavier.He said: "Sir, you are capable. It is a blessing for Yazi to meet you. You have to protect him. We here are old, weak, sick and disabled, so we have nothing to say. But in this world, whoever lives to the end It’s not easy now. If you show kindness, can you give some food? There are still a few people in our place who are too hungry to walk. Even a morsel of dry food may save a life. My old Lin will not say a lie Words! Sir, if you don’t believe me, just take a look and you’ll know. We really can’t help it! Alas.” A big man wiped his face as he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he began to cry.Most of the people also lowered their heads, wiping their eyes indiscriminately, and hanging down the sticks in their hands.
The smell of food lingered in the nose, and the feeling became more and more sweet.The rider smiled and finally opened his mouth: "Since you said so, then go and have a look."
The feelings expressed by these people are very real in his opinion, and the only sense of disobedience is that they are all too "fragrant".It made his sense of hunger suddenly more vivid.
If the living people looked like a delicacy to him, the newly dead corpses were ordinary dry food, and the long-dead corpses were leftovers from the previous night, then including the boy who was closely behind him at this time, these People gave him the feeling that he was no less than a table of delicacies with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes.
There was a similar but much fainter smell. He had smelled it from the wounded soldiers before, but there was obviously no blood or wounds on these people.Even in order to prevent being infected by the epidemic, although each of them was disheveled, it could be seen that they tried their best to clean themselves up.It is not difficult to see that this is a team with rich experience in exile. Judging from the accent of the middle-aged man, it looks like the earliest group of refugees who fled from the south.
It would seem interesting to investigate the origin of this delicious sensation.He led the animals and followed those people who were returning to the temporary residence not far or near, smiling happily.
It's great, this way, I won't be bored at last.This kind of expectation made most of the discomfort caused by having to eat human flesh disappear.
Thank you for bringing this surprise, little guy with a little secret in his arms.
The boy behind him shivered, and couldn't help reaching out to press his chest. Feeling the hard touch of something in his arms, he subconsciously licked his lips, showing a look of aftertaste, another jiggle put down his hand, and looked up. Seeing the rider walking forward without looking back, he quickened his pace and followed closely.
But they never had a chance to see the temporary residence again.
Many shaky figures, wearing broken armor, holding spears and swords, running towards this side, appeared on the horizon in the distance.
"Corpse soldiers! Run!" There was a loud cry, and the crowd ran in the opposite direction with a bang, and a certain degree of order was maintained amidst the chaos.The old people were supported by the young people nearby, and the women held hands in twos and threes to help each other. Although the men were also running away, they slowed down more or less. As for the separation, there is a hint of battle.
The rider stood still, observing the scene with great interest.Flanks of the crowd ran past him, without giving him or the boy behind him a look.The boy suddenly took a step forward, as if he wanted to run away with the crowd, but then he stopped, took a peek at the rider, and stood back behind him, clenching his teeth tremblingly, and clenched his fists tightly.
The rider seemed unaware of the boy's small movements, and continued to watch the crowd running away until they disappeared from sight.Only then did he turn his head and look at the group of corpses that were close enough to see their rotting faces clearly.
The rider even had the mood to turn around, and said "wait here" to the boy, and then walked towards the group of corpses, drew his two knives, with the usual smile on his lips.
It's rare to look forward to it, and it was destroyed by these guys.In a bad mood, just kill them.
With the light of the knife, a one-sided killing kicked off.
The boy looked at the man who was chopping up the corpses like melons and vegetables, swallowed, took a step back, and quietly leaned against the beast.
The feel of the firm tendons in his hands made the boy move suddenly.With a quickness and agility that didn't match the flinching just now, he sprinted a small step, reached out and grabbed the rein, and pulled the sparse hair on the beast's neck to climb up its back.His movements were so quick and flexible that an ordinary person might not even realize what he was doing.But this "horse" was more vigilant, and avoided his hand with a raised neck, and immediately took a step back.
The boy was so anxious that fine beads of sweat emerged from the tip of his nose.While paying attention to the situation on the other side of the man, he desperately pulled the rein and grabbed it again. The beast moved away from the side. The boy didn't grab the hair, but grabbed the black cloth that had been covering the beast's head, and followed the beast. With a sideways movement, there was a ripping sound, and it was ripped off!
From a close distance, a human head stared at the boy, and its protruding mouth spewed out a foul breath like those walking corpses at him. The two eyes that grew just above the mouth were extremely wide apart, almost reaching the sides of the head.The bridle passes through its forehead, leaving two black holes.Those eyes stared at him motionlessly, and suddenly stretched out their heads.
The boy let out a piercing scream and staggered around to run away.But in a hurry, the rein was wrapped around his hand, and he couldn't pull it no matter how he swung it.While screaming to avoid the head of the beast following closely, he backed away desperately, and fumbled his other hand into his bosom in a panic.
The man who was observing the situation here from the corner of his eye hacked to death the corpse soldier beside him with a single knife, and was about to leave.
The man's figure didn't move, but the boy who was desperately retreating over there had sprained a bit. Before he could stand still, the beast with his head up and back pulled the reins, and he swooped forward fiercely, and he froze on the ground and remained motionless all of a sudden. up.
This change happened in an instant.When the man arrived, the animal was bowing its head and arching the boy's head on the ground, the other end of the rein on the head was still in the boy's hand.
After waving the beast away, the human head turned to the other side a little aggrieved.The man turned the boy over and saw a bloodstain staining the front of the boy's clothes red, while the boy's hand was still stretched out in his arms.He stretched out his hand and pulled open the boy's skirt, holding a dagger against his chest with that hand, most of the dagger was obliquely inserted into the boy's chest.
died.
The man smiled wryly, stood up, and hacked to death the remaining corpse soldiers.
Turning around, he sat next to the boy.
A quiet and elegant meal.
Not long after, he rode away on the beast, leaving behind a skeleton, several stumps, and a dagger stained with blood.
There are still about four days away from Xiliang.
After he was away for about half a day, the crowd returned to the place.
When they saw the skeleton, they were stunned, with an indescribable disappointment on their faces.The middle-aged man walked over, lowered his head to pick up the traces on the bones, and then raised his head to look at the scattered remains of corpse soldiers not far in front of him. He suddenly yelled, showing an expression of incomparable anger and hatred.
He picked up the dagger, turned around and waved it at the crowd, roaring, "It's hunting—that man is a hunter like us! He ate offspring! He violated the teaching!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd chattered in an uproar.The boy's mother jumped out of the crowd and rushed to the skeleton, crying bitterly.
"We are natural selection believers, we hunt with strength, brains and unity! Eat the kind, let them be with us! Eat the selfish, let them be nourishment! Eat the sacrificial companions, let them go By the side of the gods! Be with blessings! Eating alone is the most despicable act! The gods will punish him with the most terrifying disaster!"
All the people, including the woman who was still crying a moment ago, straightened up and yelled: "Punishment!" Their faces were full of fanaticism.
The middle-aged man picked up the stumps around him, carefully not missing even the tiniest piece.He solemnly handed one of the finger-sized pieces to the woman's hand, and said: "This boy is a good guy! You have to work hard, and work hard for his share. In the future, you will return to the gods, and the boy will come back! The gods will remember you thing!"
Under the envious eyes of the people, the woman sobbed and took the stump, nodded, stuffed the stump into her mouth, chewed devoutly, and swallowed it.
At the same time, there are such small groups active in many places in China.Unity, survival, xenophobia, sacrifice - the teachings of natural selection are the same as the plague, even faster than the plague. It is a breeding ground for the panicked people who have lived in peace for a long time but suddenly suffered from war. Time, spread rapidly from countless corners.
