The old man and the old woman glanced at each other, and after a long time seeing that the old woman did not object, they nodded.

"That was many years ago......."

The story wasn't long, and things weren't as Ling Tian understood.

At that time, marriage followed the ancient rules, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers.

Xie Haisheng and Tranquility's love was not blessed, and their parents forcibly broke them up, and in order to fight them, they chose a path that they thought would work, that is, raw rice cooked rice.

But they forget that fornication is worse than disobedience to their father's orders.

I thought that their parents who loved them would reluctantly agree to them being together, but they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was the pig cage, the inhumane punishment.

Fortunately, with the help of Xie Haisheng's grandmother, they eloped the night before the execution.

The two young men, who had never left the village, could only run along the muddy path in the village mechanically, and occasionally heard a sound like a frightened bird.

Until one rainy night, the two who lost their way stupidly hugged each other and sat under the tree waiting for the final judgment of fate.

And at this time, they met the robbers.

The two men were taken back to the cold, damp dungeon, where they were not the only ones in the dungeon, but many others.

It was not a human life, men had to be dragged out to work every day, and women were even more miserable. The eyes of all the people in the dungeon were gray, and they waited silently for their death in the company of corpses and rats.

On one occasion, a number of people were arrested, and it was evident that they were all rich men, and although their coats had been snatched away, their thin skin and tender flesh could still be recognized.

In particular, the man and the woman who were the leader were even more frightened, trembling in the corners of the dungeon.

I don't know what happened during that time, the robbers haven't appeared in the dungeon for a long time, and the moldy food is gone, but everyone's hearts are rekindled with hope.

I hope that everyone will get together, whether it is rats or cockroaches, as long as they can keep themselves alive, they have no care about anything.

Everyone also got to know the two wealthy young men, Zhang Yiqiang and Xie Min.

Just as the wooden fence was about to be torn down, the robbers returned, this time not so well, and many hateful faces were gone.

Despair after just seeing hope is the real despair.

And the robbers who had just experienced defeat were even more cruel and crazy, and they began to take pleasure in torture and killing, although everyone tried to protect the female dependents, but although there were fewer and fewer people, a tragic fate still came.

Xie Min was about to commit suicide, she couldn't bear the impending bad luck, and when she and Zhang cut off their own arms with a blackened broken bowl, the robbers rushed in.

Already surrounded outside, they were going on a final.

When Zhang Qiqiang and Xie Min woke up again, they were being held in the arms of several old farmers and wept bitterly.

Family affection finally defeated backward traditions, Xie Haisheng and Ningning's parents worked hard to finally find their children, at this time, Zhang Qiqiang and Xie Min found that they had become Xie Haisheng and Ningning.

And the real Xie Haisheng and Ning Jing and many of their companions in prison were floating in mid-air, looking at this scene, the figures of each of them were blurred, as if they would disappear at any time.

When the sun appeared in front of them again, they learned that they had committed suicide and died later than the rest of their companions, and for the sake of that glimmer of hope, the dead companions had pulled them into a slightly intact body without regard for their own bodies.

Since then, they have become Xie Haisheng and Tranquility, and they can never go back.

The companions were still by their side, and in order to be better with them, the two began to talk about their previous affairs, and they were successfully isolated and began a life of fooling around.

In order not to let others know about this matter, everyone who tells a story to others will be retaliated against by those companions.

The original thing was slowly submerged in time.

When the past was talked about little by little, there were figures around them, most of them were undressed, their bodies were covered with black sludge, and everyone's bodies were covered with scars.

Ling Tian understood that the story was not as light as they said.

sighed: "Don't hurt others anymore, and when your life is over, leave with your companions." ”

"Don't worry, I'll watch my daughter-in-law, but there's a child here, not with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy footsteps came from outside the door, as if an elephant was approaching.

Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, it was really rare for a ghost to hear his voice before anyone saw him.

After a while, when the ghost appeared in front of him, he almost stood up in surprise.

It was a teenage boy, very thin, as if he were a refugee from Africa on television, with only skin and bones left, the only difference was that his belly was not large, and the ribs were clearly visible from his shabby clothes.

"This is the kid?"

The old man nodded: "Every day, you tell me your story." ”

"I'm not here to tell a story." The boy shook his head and looked at Ling Tian, "I want to ask you for a favor." ”

It was the first time he heard such a request, and Ling Tian suddenly became interested: "What are you busy with?" ”

"I, I have a bad habit that I want to break."

"Bad habits, what bad habits?"

"I, I'm ......." Tian Tian was a little hesitant, and only after a while did he look at Ling Tian, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "They all said that you can help us, can you help me?" ”

"Little one, you have to tell me what you are first?"

The boy nodded, still hesitating for a long time before speaking: "I, I like to eat people." ”

"Huh?"

"I like to eat people. Every time I see someone walking past me, I don't stop drooling, and there is an unbearable fragrance that keeps drilling into my nose, and I, I can't help it, lick it. I'm afraid that one day I'll be unable to take it anymore. ”

Ling Tian's mouth opened wide, and it took a while to close it, and he looked Tian Tian up and down, and asked curiously, "When did you find out that you like to eat people?" ”

"Right after I ate my mom, but I know, it wasn't my mom."

"Wait, every day, I'm a little confused."

"My dad and mom always quarreled, and one day my mom was suddenly gone, and I kept asking for my mom, and my dad said that the meat we ate that day was my mom, but I knew it wasn't, because my mom came back again, although she was gone very quickly."

Tiantian's eyes dimmed, but Ling Tian still didn't understand.

He asked in a soft tone, "Tiantian, can you elaborate from beginning to end?" ”

"Hmm."

Tian Tian's parents gave birth to Tian Tian before they got married, and a year later, because of her mother's forced marriage, the conflict between her parents became bigger and bigger, and finally led to a breakup.

Every day I have lived with my grandmother in the countryside since I was a child, my grandmother is old, and she lives in her daughter's house, one old and one young, and it is okay for a short time, and after a long time, the bad environment of life every day has changed, and she is not full of food and clothing every day.

When Tian Tian was 10 years old, his elderly grandmother passed away, and Tian Tian was forcibly sent to his father's side, and at this time, his father had become a waste picker, living in a dilapidated house outside the city, and like Tian Tian, he did not have enough food and clothing every day.
