The cold wind carried the snowflakes, cutting Zhao Yajun's face like a knife.

I heard the old people in the village say that if people get lost, as long as they follow the North Star, they will return to their hometown one day.

Zhao Yajun raised his head, but he couldn't see the stars......

He walked forward without fear or sorrow, or fear and sorrow were a luxury for him at the moment.

It is true that I don't feel it at all, and my heart is as empty as the space between the stars. (Chandler's The Long Goodbye)

Finally not far ahead, Zhao Yajun vaguely found something lying in the snow, he unconsciously quickened his pace, hunger is a physiological reaction, he can't resist.

Zhao Yajun even smelled the aroma of barbecue, and he regained a little hope in life, which is really an endless road.

The object in front of him gradually became clearer, and he just wanted to get the wolf meat back to the tent as soon as possible, and he knew that his physical strength was at its limit.

Zhao Yajun finally lost his physical strength, his feet were weak, and he fell forward, falling right in front of this pile of objects.

"Hahaha, hahahaha..." Zhao Yajun buried his face in the snow and laughed madly.

This laughter resounded through the mountains,

Mourning for a long time......

In front of him, it was clear that only Bai Sensen's wolf bones, messy and fine fur, and the whole piece of red blood ice that had been frozen......

What a fucking animal, not even a single intestine left!

At the end of the road, disheartened.

............

Zhao Yajun couldn't remember how he had crawled back into the tent, and the hunger had drained all his strength.

He told Zhang Fa and the others what he saw......

The difference between humans and animals is the difference between civilization and barbarism, and through a long evolution, human beings have learned to walk upright, learn to make fires and plant. With the passage of time, human beings gradually dominated the natural world, so that spiritual civilization emerged, and morality and fetters were derived.

Civilization and barbarism began to oppose each other.

Human beings stand in opposition to natural creatures, and we call our former companions beasts, fish and insects, livestock, and birds......

Imagine if one day we were free from the limits of law and morality, and free from the swaying of civilization, would we still be called "humans"?

Although there was a rope to stop the bleeding, there was too much bleeding before, coupled with the harsh environment and no food, Ding Yong was already unconscious at this time. The other four were crammed together. Everyone knows that he won't last long.

As the day dawned, the wind pushed the snow against the windward side of the tent, piling higher and higher, and had bent the keel of the tent on that side, and the fire on the other side was still burning, but there was not much firewood left, and no one had the strength to cut the branches, if this was a game of chess, then it would be a dead end.

There is a conventional rule for all kinds of chess, that is, you are not allowed to eat your own chess pieces, which is not tolerated by morality.

"Otherwise, let's eat Ding Yong, anyway... Anyway, he's... Live... I can't live ......," Zhang Fa whispered.

Time seemed to freeze, Zhao Yajun only felt that all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant, even if the mountains and rivers were exhausted and the ammunition and food were exhausted, he had never had such a terrible thought. He glanced at the other two, and sure enough, both of them also showed shocked expressions.

"I don't eat"

"I don't eat either"

The two who reacted resolutely objected.

"Then her mother will starve to death together, you will be the good guy, and I will be the bad guy!" Zhang Fa roared, then quickly turned his head to Zhao Yajun, and asked viciously:

"Do you eat or not......"

Zhao Yajun raised his head slowly, and the scene in front of him when Ding Yong taught him and Man Cang to make soapy water and took them to blow bubbles, how happy and warm it was.

I really want to go back to that time, I really want to ......

"I eat. Zhao Yajun turned his head, looked at Ding Yong, and said in the weakest voice.

I'm sorry, just because I'm a hungry wolf, I just want to go back alive, and I can give up anything to survive.

In this Shura Purgatory, I am the most dispensable pawn, if you are not injured, then it can only be me who will be eaten today.

"Little rabbit cub, the captain is not thin on you, how can you..." Before Feng Chun could finish speaking, the black muzzle of the gun was already on his forehead.

"Since I won't let him eat, I'll eat you!" Zhang Fa smiled grimly, his eyes full of contempt.

Feng Chun sat down on the ground with a "poof", and then didn't say anything more, Zhang Fa whispered a few words in his ear, and then patted him on the shoulder and put away his shotgun.

"I eat... I'll eat..."Feng Chun muttered to himself as if he was enchanted.

"Ding Yong is dead, the quota for our brigade to work in the township is yours, and then you will be the real public security, who will be the captain of this bullshit..."Zhang Fa recited this spell to Feng Chun.

............

Newton said, "I can calculate the orbits of the celestial bodies, but I cannot calculate the greed of human nature." ”

Feng Chun knew in his heart that since Ding Yong knew about his affair with Li Kun's daughter-in-law, according to his character, his career would come to an end.

Every time the township public security comes to handle a case, he is responsible for entertaining, and he wants to have a set of military green public security uniforms!

One is for self-preservation, the other is blinded by interests - cowardice and greed.

Three to one, Zhang Fa did not ask Li Kun's opinion again, in his eyes, Li Kun was not even as good as Zhao Yajun.

Zhang Fa glanced at him, and crawled towards Ding Yong, who was unconscious, with Zhao Feng and the others.

Ding Yong slowly opened his eyes as if he noticed it, and Li Kun silently withdrew from the tent......

After a sharp pain, the world suddenly calmed down, the wind was still blowing, the snow was still drifting, why did the world outside the window become a black and white silent movie......

This is Ding Yong's last impression of the world.

............

Zhang Fa flew up and down with the meat knife in his hand like he usually kills pigs and picks meat, skillfully dividing every piece of meat on Ding Yong's body.

Feng Chun brought a few more wooden sticks and sharpened them into sharp wooden sticks with a hand axe.

Zhao Yajun roasted raw meat into food on the fire.

The division of labor is clear and well-organized, just like the scene when the production team has a party every year.

It's so fragrant, it's been three days, and Li Kun, who has exhausted his strength and hasn't eaten, finally can't resist the temptation of meat......

On this nameless hill with heavy snowfall, the four of them tasted the taste of human flesh for the first time......

When people are faced with a desperate situation, they will eventually reflect the nature of animals, and they are "cold-blooded animals" with hot blood flowing in their bodies.

............

The four of them skewered the remaining meat on wooden skewers, divided it into several piles, and froze it outside the tent, and the snow did not know how long it would last, so they had to be fully prepared.

It's already more than two o'clock in the afternoon when everyone is done, and there is one last task left:

Dispose of Ding Yong's body.

The so-called remains of the skull, skeleton and internal organs......

The four of them, with tools, worked from the afternoon until late at night, and they didn't know where they got the strength to dig a deep pit out of the frozen soil. Put in Ding Yong's remains, and put the shotgun and all the tools, as well as wolf bones and wolf hair, and threw them into the pit, and everyone filled back the clods and slag with their hands.

Succeed with flying colors.

Such a heavy snowfall, it only takes one night, everything will return to the original state, no one will know where Ding Yong is buried, and even they may not be able to find it when they leave and come out, the snow melts in the spring, flowers and green grass grow in the land, and all the sins are buried.

Thanks to this heavy snowfall, it was simply a perfect crime.

When the four returned to the tent, exhausted, they fell asleep.

Two days later, they had eaten all their meat, the damn snow had finally stopped, and they had their tents on their backs and followed the stars in the night to find their way home.

There are some things that can never be turned back, there is no perfect crime in this world, they ignored an important detail, and this detail, after 36 years, killed them.
