============================================================

At half past two in the morning, Li really woke up with a feeling of hunger. It was as if every cell in the body was screaming silently, reaching out an invisible hand, desperate to grab something.

However, the stomach is warm. He vividly remembers eating a piece of egg sandwich left for him by his mother and drinking a cup of hot beef nǎi before going to bed at two o'clock. The small plate with the sandwich was still on the radiator next to the bed, and there was residual warmth at the bottom of the pan, reminding him that it was not just an illusion.

Forget it, don't think about that.

Not for the first time anyway. For a month after the age of seventeen, he was tormented by this brutal hunger pang almost every night. It's not the feeling that comes from the stomach, it's from the body—it's a little hard to understand, but it's true.

He rubbed his eyes in a daze, pulled on his slippers beside the bed, and opened the door to the kitchen to find something to eat.

In the other bedroom, my mother's sleepy voice came from: "Don't read too late—"

"Hmm." He replied weakly, seeing his face flash in the mirror in the hallway. In the dim light, it looks like a ghoul.

The refrigerator door was opened, and the cold air turned into a white mist. He searched for it, took out half a ham sausage, squatted on the ground and ate it in a big gulp. He chewed so fast that his cheeks hurt, but he just wanted to swallow what was in his mouth and into his stomach as quickly as possible.

I'm so hungry......

There was a silent cry in the body.

The stomach is finally a little fuller. However...... I'm still hungry!

I want to eat it!

Eat!

Li Zhen felt that a pillow had been stuffed into his head, and it was a mess, like the feeling after an all-night endorsement. But the body is indeed awake, as if every cell is cheering, urging him: eat, eat all! Find it, eat it!

He shook his head and pulled open the freezer door again. An even thicker chill rushed out, freezing his knees a little. Then he pulled out a drawer.

There's ...... in it Frozen raw meat.

The bright red muscle fibers, trimmed with white sè fat, are wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, looming in the cold air of the white sè.

It's fascinating. The cry suddenly grew stronger.

That's it!

Li Zhen shook his head again, trying to resist the voices in his body. However...... But his hands stretched out, and he grabbed the plastic bag, opened it, and brought it to his mouth.

Click.

"Hey!" This time he came to his senses. The hardness and low temperature of the frozen meat made his teeth bitter, and the strength of the biting muscles caused the two rows of snow-white teeth to slam together after sliding across the surface of the flesh, and the sore, numb, and painful feeling felt like a stimulant for him.

He suddenly saw his reflection on the lamp in the refrigerator, and saw the thing he was holding in his hand, and he was startled for no reason, and stood up suddenly, and took several steps back in a row, only to feel that his hands were trembling.

How many times has this been? He gasped for breath, as if he had just run ten "one thousand meters", how many times had this been??

His mother heard the sound of the kitchen in the bedroom and called out to him, "Li Zhen, what are you looking for?" Eat in the fridge. ”

"Hmm...... Oh okay, I'm done eating, I'm going to sleep! He quickly replied, then pushed the door of the refrigerator shut and fled back to the room. As he came to his senses, the strange hunger pang was gone. It's like all the cells in the body have been taken over by the brain again, and they don't talk too much.

What's wrong with me? What's wrong? Is it sick? He lay on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and asked himself. Then I remembered a movie I watched when I was a child - a young lady hid a scholar under the bed of her cruise ship, and had to eat twice a day to feed two people. Her father invited Lang Zhong, who said that this young lady might have a strange disease - digestion disorder.

Do I have this disease too? But there are still a few months left before the college entrance examination......

He was worried. Then I fell asleep again in my apprehension.

Hunger pangs hit again. This time, however, perhaps he was too tired to wake up, only immersed in one nightmare after another.

Half past five in the morning.

Woke up again. This time it wasn't a hunger pang, or an alarm clock, but ...... Woke up by the pain in his arm. The pain comes from the depths, it seems to come from the bone marrow, it is stumbling and entwining, it is not strong, but it is really upsetting.

It feels familiar. From childhood to adulthood, there will always be a day or two of pain like this every month. It's not that he didn't check what was going on, but he came to the conclusion that it was just a normal "neuralgia", so he didn't take it to heart. However, with the emergence of that strange hunger pang during this time, this pain has also become a regular visitor.

Since it was already this time, Suo Xing got up. Anyway, the alarm clock will go off at 5:40.

The sound of his mother making breakfast was already heard in the kitchen, and Li Zhen sat on the bed with the quilt on her for a while to sober herself up, and then dressed and washed and ate breakfast.

When he was about to go out, his mother looked at his face, thought for a while, and then said, "Don't be too stressful lately, there is still half a year before the college entrance examination." If you can't do ...... exam," she said and stopped, thinking that saying this would stimulate her son's emotions, so she changed her words: "Your father and I told you a long time ago, as long as you work hard." ”

Li Zhen let out an "um" and pushed the door out of the house. A chill rushed in my face.

He knew what his mother's words meant......

After two consecutive monthly exams, his grades fell all the way, and he was getting farther and farther away from his originally expected goal. It's not that he's distracted by other things, or it's not the pressure before the exam, it's that he can't concentrate recently. It was like something was stuffed into my head, and I spent most of the day in a blur, as if I had Alzheimer's disease in advance.

The northern city of Chun came late, and at six o'clock, it was not yet dawn. The street lamps on both sides of the road glowed dimly, and the cold wind made the dead branches rattle. He rode his bicycle and sped through streets where there were almost no people.

The wild cats and wild dogs cowered in the shadows, running away as fast as he passed, and then each looking for food.

It's weird...... Li Zhen's face shrank into a thick hat, his nostrils exhaled white air, and he thought: Why do I suddenly want to raise a dog.

When I saw those wild cats and wild dogs just now, I did have a strong possession in my heart. Inexplicably, I thought they were cute, and I almost wanted to hold them in my arms and rub them hard with my face, I couldn't wait to ......

Wanted...... Eat it.

Yes! As soon as this thought popped up, Li Zhen was shocked - why is this kind of thought again? Why did you think of eating again? Or eat that kind of living thing?!

Then a long, shrill beep was heard—"Drop—"

When I regained consciousness, I felt a strong gust of wind coming from the side. The bicycle seemed to suddenly break free from the shackles of gravity and flew into the air, and the whole person soared through the clouds, and suffered a violent impact in the next moment......

A gust of wind, is this a martial arts master?

It was the last thought that crossed his mind.
