When a long time ago, the people relied on the sky for food, if there was a disaster, then the people were miserable, and I don't know when the world first invited a flood, and the flood was only a month, and the locust plague came, and before the locust plague passed, the drought followed. At that time, the world was out of harvest, and the red land was thousands of miles, and it was really "white bones exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." "Father, my child, it's been five days, and our family has only drunk some water and not eaten. The two of us can still get through it, and I'm afraid these kids won't be able to. It was a woman who spoke, with a yellow face and thin muscles, as if she could die of exhaustion if she said a few words, and a middle-aged man sat on the threshold, sighed, and said, "I can't help it, I'm afraid I won't be able to live anymore...... It's better to learn from the Wu family and put ...... Go out and talk! When the middle-aged man said this, he glanced at his five children, and then took his daughter-in-law out of the door. Several children are weak or sitting or lying down, and they don't care about what their parents say, they just feel that they are hungry and fierce, and they still have the strength to speak. After a while, I heard the parents arguing outside the door, and after a while, the father came back with a sad face, and the mother leaned against the door and wept silently, and the father gently walked up to the youngest daughter and said, "Sister, go hunting with Daddy?" The children were very happy, and nodded again and again, they didn't want to think about it, there has been a famine in the world for so long, and even the rats have been eaten up, where is there to hunt?
In the evening, the father returned, and the children woke up only when they smelled the smell of meat. As soon as a few young children woke up, they saw the broth boiling in the pot, the aroma was compelling, several children couldn't stop swallowing saliva, the father was squatting and sighing, and the mother was crying while boiling the soup, but he didn't see the younger sister, the eldest brother was more sensible, and asked his father where the younger sister went, and the father said that the younger sister was taken by the wolves, and he beat a roe deer. After a short time, the soup was boiled, and the children ate the meat, and the parents only drank some soup, crying as they drank. In the days to come, as long as the family was hungry and couldn't stand it, the father would take the youngest child out hunting, and every time the father came back alone, but he could always catch the prey.
After three years of drought, the people still have no livelihood, and what they can eat has long been eaten, not to mention the grain planting, so the people are living even more hard, ten rooms and nine empty, and those who survive are those who can eat everything.
In the wasteland, there was a woman walking, with a thin face and a skeleton, but her belly was very large, and she thought she was pregnant. The woman walked through the wasteland, staggering, and had not eaten for days, and a gust of wind could blow her down, but she kept touching her belly with her hands. After a short walk, the woman smelled the smell of a corpse decomposing, and she went mad and chased after it.
There was a corpse lying in front of the woman, it was a man, he had been dead for a few days, the corpse was slightly decomposed, the rotten parts were crawling with maggots, and a few crows were pecking at the eyes and internal organs of the corpse, she stood aside, swallowed her saliva, hesitated, looked at her stomach again, gritted her teeth, rushed up to drive away the crows, and began to eat the parts of the corpse that had not yet decomposed.
