Liu An invited Liu Bei into the house to rest for a while, asked his mother to accompany Liu Bei to talk, and went up the mountain with a bow and arrow, but found nothing. He was afraid that Liu Bei would not dare to stay on the mountain for a long time, so he thought while going down the mountain: Uncle Liu Huang is a big man who can't be invited, and he has the same surname as me. Now when the imperial uncle is in trouble, if I can be hospitable, in the future, the imperial uncle will think of my benefits, and he may grant me an official and a half-position. Even if I am asked to be a captain or a captain in the army, it is better than hunting for a living.

Thinking of this, Liu An gritted his teeth, quickly walked down the mountain and returned home, and went straight to the back kitchen. At that time, Liu An's wife was cooking on a fire, and although there was no wine and meat at home, there were still some rice, fruits, and vegetables. Liu An's wife is also quite capable, and it is not too shabby to arrange a few vegetarian dishes, so she will wait for the rice to be cooked at this time.

Seeing Liu An go home, his wife asked, "Did your husband go up the mountain and hit prey?" ”

Liu An lowered his head and shook his head and said, "No!" ”

Liu's wife comforted: "That's okay, Uncle Huang treats people generously, so there will be no wine and meat, and he will probably not be blamed." The husband quickly went to chop some firewood to add to the fire, so that the emperor would not wait for a long time. ”

Liu An answered and picked up the axe from under the kitchen, but he didn't go out to chop wood, but looked at his wife's busy back in a daze.

Liu's wife looked back and saw that her husband was still in place, so she blushed and asked, "What is the husband doing when he doesn't go to chop wood to see what the concubine is doing?" ”

Liu An was awakened by his wife's question, and covered up: "No...... It's nothing. I just remembered that I hit a hare the day before yesterday, and I want to ask if you are still there? ”

Liu's wife smiled: "Don't be stupid, husband!" The hare let you eat that day, and the husband is not enough, where can I find it at this time? If there is no meat, there will be no meat, maybe Uncle Huang is tired of eating big fish and meat, and he still feels fresh after eating some vegetarian dishes, so the husband doesn't have to think about it. "Then he got busy again.

When Liu An went down the mountain, he decided to kill his wife and take meat to entertain Liu Bei, so as to gain fame. In this era of continuous wars and famines, cannibalism is nothing new, so Liu An doesn't have much psychological burden if he wants to kill his wife. But when he really saw his wife's busy back, he hesitated to do it.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Liu An is also a human being, and he has never done such a thing as killing his wife and entertaining guests before, how can he not hesitate? But as soon as he thought that he would follow Liu Bei Fei Huang Tengda in the future, there would be endless money to spend, and endless beauties waiting for him, so he relented and persuaded himself: "A wife is like clothes, and you will marry again in the future." Wu Qi also killed his wife and begged for a general, I want to do something big, how can I care about the love of my children? Anyway, if you want to be an official or a general in the future, you will also go into battle to kill people, so you might as well use it as a trial today. Then he raised the axe of chopping wood and slashed at the back of his wife's neck.

Although Liu An does not know martial arts, he has been hunting and slaughtering prey all year round, so he naturally has developed a strong ability, and this axe is extremely fast and accurate. Liu's wife was defenseless, and when she felt the wind behind her and wanted to look back, the axe had already been added, and she didn't even have time to scream, and her head had already been cut off by Liu An. Until the head hits the ground. Liu's wife was still staring at her husband in disbelief, not understanding why her husband could be so ruthless.

Looking at his wife who was not blind, Liu An couldn't help but shed two tears. But soon he held back his grief to clean up the blood from the kitchen, drained his wife's blood as he usually did with his prey, and cut the tender flesh from between his arms and thighs to make a dish.

Liu Bei was talking to Liu An's mother in the hall, and saw Liu An serving the food. Liu Bei, as the emperor's uncle, is also a person who wants to save face, if he is not hungry and anxious along the way, he will never go to the people's homes to beg for food. When he arrived at Liu An's house, he was already hungry enough, and Liu An went up to the mountain to hunt and then killed his wife, and Liu Bei's stomach was already rumbling at this time.

Chen Zhi and a few relatives ate and drank all the way to Liu Bei, they were even hungrier than Liu Bei, and they drooled when they smelled the aroma of the food. Everyone at this table had their eyes fixed on the food, and no one noticed that there were blood stains on Liu An's body.

Liu's mother saw the blood stains on her son's body, but when she smelled the smell of meat on the table with her nose, she mistakenly thought that Liu An had hit the prey, and began to beckon everyone to eat. Liu Bei was polite, but he was not slow at all, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the meat was in his mouth, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, to say that he had eaten a lot of good things as a state pastor, and he had seen the world, but he didn't know what kind of meat this meat was. I just think that this meat is very tender, and the taste is a little like pork but there is no fishy smell. asked Liu An: "What kind of meat is this?" It's so delicious. ”

Liu An's age is not very old, Liu's wife is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the raw skin and tender meat, Liu An took the fresh and tender place of the arm to entertain Liu Bei, no wonder Liu Bei thought it was delicious. But Liu An didn't dare to say that it was human flesh, nor did he dare to say that it was common things such as pigs, cows, and sheep, so he replied: "This is wolf meat." ”

Liu Bei and the people under his command really haven't eaten wolf meat, and even if they have eaten occasionally, they have long forgotten the taste, and they all believed that they were really feasting and had a full meal. However, to Liu Bei and the others' surprise, Liu An didn't eat much meat, and at first Chen Zhi was worried that the meat was poisonous, but when he saw that Liu's mother ate a lot, he was relieved.

That night, Liu Bei stayed at Liu An's house, and the next day it was dawn, Liu Bei and others went to the backyard to pick up the horse, only to see a woman's body die in the kitchen, and the flesh on her arms and legs had been cut off. Liu Bei was shocked, so he thought that Liu An was a murderer and a meat-eating villain, so he called Liu An and asked angrily, "Who is this?" Why did you die here? ”

Liu An could bear to kill his wife in exchange for fame, and he was also quite scheming, and he didn't dispose of the body overnight, just to let Liu Bei see it. So he pretended to be sad and said: "Uncle Huang, don't be surprised, this woman is not an outsider, but a villain's wife." Yesterday, there was a shortage of food and meat at home, so he was afraid of treating the emperor slowly, so the villain had to make this decision to kill his wife and serve the emperor's uncle. The villain was afraid that the emperor's uncle would not enjoy it and let his wife die in vain, so he lied that it was wolf meat, and asked the emperor's uncle not to blame. ”

If Nan Ye catches up with this matter, he can chop Liu An and feed it to the dog without saying a word. However, Liu Bei has always taken "brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes" as his motto, and when he heard that Liu An killed his wife instead of outsiders, he was no longer angry, and he was very moved. Because in ancient times, men were inferior to women, and wives and children were like private property, if Liu An killed outsiders, he would be a murderer, but if he killed his own wife and concubine, it was like killing his own cattle and sheep, as long as his mother's family was not investigated, the government could not interfere.

Liu Bei was very sad to learn that Liu An killed his wife in order to entertain him, and at the same time he felt a little sick to his stomach when he thought that he had eaten human flesh, but he couldn't vomit after trying to vomit the next night. The two uncomfortable feelings in his heart and stomach were intertwined, so that Liu Bei couldn't help crying and said: "You and I can kill your wife and serve within a day of acquaintance, which shows your loyalty." Now that I am in despair, I have no money to reward you, so it is better to go with me to make a career and seek a career. ”
