23. Old man Cai Fu
The people on the slope are also the height of the waist of the fifth year of junior high school, thin, full of wrinkles, gray hair, like an old man, also without clothes, but around the waist a circle of leaves to cover his shame, his body is covered with mud, he can't see the color of his skin, and he still holds a branch as a crutch, and only half of the sole of his left foot remains.
Suddenly, the old man clenched his fists and arched his hand to the fifth junior high, and said loudly: "Strong man, it is really presumptuous to come to the door late at night, please forgive me." ”
"To put it bluntly, I'm a rough guy and don't like to beat around the bush. The words of the fifth day of the first month made the lover next to him a little embarrassed.
"Since the strong man has an upright character, then I will tell you the truth, we are here to ask the strong man for relief and alms, so that we can live in this hellish world where the weak eat the strong. After the old man finished speaking, he bowed to the fifth day of the first month.
This answer was really unexpected by the fifth day of the first month, and I couldn't help but wonder if he really looked like a good person with kind eyebrows, yesterday he just came with a half-human and half-mouse guy, and today a group of weasels came to beg for food, so the fifth day of the first year smiled meaningfully.
"Old man, let's not talk about why I help you, you also said, this is a hell of the jungle, I'm curious, what makes you dare to find me so blatantly?"
"Because you didn't kill the three-tailed wolf and took in this equally weak half-nezue. ”
Chu Wu turned his head to look at the more embarrassed lover next to him, and his eyes became deeper and deeper with his arms tilted his head and tilted his head to look at the old man.
"I really didn't expect that my every move in the past few days has been watched, and I haven't noticed anything, it seems that your ability is not small, and I still need my relief there, old man, your joke is not very funny. ”
"Hehe, the strong man is angry". The old man laughed a little embarrassedly, "The strong man misunderstood me, we definitely didn't mean to peep at the strong man, let alone have any evil intentions, do you remember that you threw two pieces of wolf leg meat outside this dirt slope two days ago?"
Chu Wu nodded in reply.
"Those two pieces of meat were obtained by chance, and after eating them, we found that they were different from other meats in this forest, so we began to pay attention to the strong man, and by the way, we saw the mercy of the strong man. ”
"Stop", Chu Wu interrupted the other party, "It turns out that you dug a hole in the ground and stole my bait to attract big ants, right?"
The fifth day of the first month can be regarded as finding the meat thief, although he is a little angry, but he also let go of the suspicion that he has been wondering what kind of monster is digging holes and stealing meat.
"This ...... We are also forced by life to do it as a last resort. The old man's face was not very natural, "Strong man, please listen to me." ”
"About half a year ago, I came to this world inexplicably, except for remembering that my name is Cai Fu, all other things were forgotten, and when I woke up, it happened that the two forces were fighting, there were monsters and humans on both sides, I found a place to hide because I was afraid, but I didn't want to be bitten off half of the sole of my foot by a flower with sharp teeth. ”
'Half a year', 'two forces', these key words were particularly attentive to the fifth day of the first month, but they did not interrupt each other.
"I was also saved by a kind woman, who lived with a group of weak animals in an underground tunnel, although the underground was dark, but relatively safe, but the food was too scarce, and no matter what food, it would cause changes in the body. ”
"What change?" said this, the fifth year of the first month couldn't help but interject, because this was the second time he had heard such a thing after his beloved.
"There are all kinds of changes, generally speaking, what you eat is like anything, for example, if you eat tree roots every day, then you will become more and more demented, until all of them are ossified and die, if you eat animal meat, you will become more and more like that animal, and your temperament will become irritable and bloodthirsty. ”
On the fifth day of the first month, I suddenly had a sense of the farmland in the fog wall, no wonder the "garbage chute" has a separate reminder, it seems that food is more important in this world than imagined.
Seeing that the fifth day of the first month turned into silence, the old man Cai Fu continued, "We live cautiously in the underground tunnels, because of my inconvenient legs and feet, I rarely go up to the ground, but I heard that there are battles everywhere on the ground, until a month ago, suddenly one day, all the people who participated in the battle on the ground disappeared, but the food became more scarce, and the beasts were more ferocious, mainly because we were too weak. ”
Speaking of this, the old man Cai Fu sighed softly, "We started to move constantly in search of food, although we were very cautious and cautious on the way, we still killed a lot of family members, and finally came here by chance, and happened to see the pieces of meat thrown by the strong man, so we were greedy and ashamed!"
Chu Wu is not a good listener, because his attention is basically looking for loopholes in the other party's story, and he doesn't care so much about whether the story is happy or sad, as long as he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he won't listen to any side of the story.
"Eat it, it's okay, if you really feel ashamed, then answer me a few questions, you said that you have lived in the underground tunnel for half a year, I am very curious, why didn't you become a monster or a tree root?
"This ......", the old man Cai Fu showed an embarrassed face, "The reason why I didn't mention this is really a little ashamed to say it, indeed, not only did I not become a monster, presumably the strong man's eyes were like torches, and he must have found that these little guys around me are also relatively normal." ”
Chu Wu nodded, spread out his palm, and made a gesture to continue.
"Remember the woman I mentioned who saved my life? She is our chief, and my wife, and she has been feeding me with her milk for the past six months, and as for these little ones, they all have their mothers. ”
The heart of the fifth junior high school tightened, and I couldn't tell what it felt, but the smile on my face disappeared and became a little deeper.
It seemed that after saying the most difficult part, the old man Cai Fu suddenly relaxed, "Actually, milk also has some influence on us, although my original figure is not tall, but it is not so short, these little guys are just the opposite of me, because the milk is much larger than normal." ”
Chu Wu was inexplicably a little anxious and disordered in his heart, frowning and asking lightly: "You just said that eating the food here for a long time will change your temperament, I want to know, those who are willing to feed you...... What will happen to them?"
The fifth year of junior high school suddenly felt that the word made him a little blocked, and the old man Cai Fu's voice trembled a little, "They eat meat while eating the rhizomes of flowers and trees, so that they can suppress the tyranny in their bodies, but they become more and more stupid." ”
"Plop", the old man Cai Fu suddenly knelt down on the fifth day of the first month, this action frightened the fifth day of the first month, "Strong man, my wife is almost unrecognizable to me, and she can't eat those things anymore, so I brazenly came to ask the strong man, please have mercy on them, we are willing to repay them with our lives." ”
"Plop pounce", all the weasels lined up, and all of them learned from the old man Cai Fu and fell to his knees.
