Chapter 15: Hungry

After coming out of the finance room, 017 told me that he would help me find out what was going on. I thanked him again, and then went to the small supermarket to try the card, and it was indeed normal to buy things.

When I went to the cafeteria for lunch at lunchtime, there was an abnormality, and it was also when I finished the meal, and when I swiped the meal card, I found that the amount had changed to zero again, which made me very embarrassed, because there were still many people on the side, so this time I didn't take the plate and went directly out of the canteen to find finance.

There was no one in the finance room, so I probably went to lunch or rested.

What's going on here?

This broken system, I hit 800 in the morning, and I only bought more than ten yuan in the supermarket, how did it become zero again.

Eating one less meal is nothing, just lose weight.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I went to look for the finance again, this time she was down, I went into the finance room and told her that my card amount had changed to zero again, and she said no, so she turned on the computer again to help me check.

After entering my code, I called up the list details, and sure enough, it was really cleared, and the last two transactions were 12.8 yuan, which was consumed in the supermarket in the morning, and another 787.2 yuan was deducted, and the account was directly deducted.

"Isn't there really something wrong with this system, how can it be deducted!" the finance also exclaimed in surprise.

But my heart was beating the drums, and I felt as if there was an invisible hand manipulating my account, deducting you first, and then rushing in and then deducting all of your money, and if it was rushing, it would probably be deducted again, until the money owed to him was paid off.

"You go back first, and tomorrow I will report it and call someone to investigate." "Finance told me.

I returned to my room and began to wonder if it was the result of the confusion caused by the wandering out of my body in the early hours of the morning, but I could not figure out the logic and reason for it.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, my stomach began to get hungry, but I didn't have money to eat.

Hungry until the night, the hunger pangs start to grow, and I plan to go to bed early so that I don't get hungry.

I didn't want to sleep until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night and was woken up by hunger, at this time I was really hungry, I wanted to eat, my stomach was empty, there was a feeling of urgent need to be full, I poured three glasses of water with a teacup, my stomach was bloated and felt a little better, and then I went back to sleep.

When I got up the next morning, I hadn't eaten for almost 24 hours, and I was wondering if I would borrow some money from Lao Li for breakfast, but after thinking about it, it was nothing more than a few hungry meals, I had never been hungry before, so I might as well take this rare opportunity to experience the feeling of hunger.

When 017 came to check the room in the morning, I told him that he was deducted again yesterday, he was very surprised, and asked me if I didn't eat breakfast, I told him that I had eaten, borrowed Lao Li's meal card, 017 said that he would find someone as soon as possible to find out the reason, and then left.

By the time it was time to eat lunch at noon, the hunger was so strong that I couldn't relieve it by drinking water, so I poured a stomach full of water, but I still felt hungry, I had never had such a strong thirst for food.

It seems that I can't hold on anymore, so I think it's better to borrow Lao Li's card to eat.

I knocked on the door across the street and found that the person was not there, so I should have gone to the cafeteria.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, it was the peak time for meals, it was full, and I usually didn't feel much about the noisy sounds of the cafeteria and the smell of mixed food, but now my senses have become extremely sensitive, and I feel that the sound has become very noisy, and the smell of food has become extremely breathtaking.

I slowly looked for Lao Li in the cafeteria, but after looking around, I didn't see anyone, my stomach may have been stimulated by the information of the external meal and began to squirm wildly, and I could only swallow saliva desperately to relieve it.

Lao Li looks like he shouldn't be in the cafeteria, otherwise I should be able to find it after two turns, when I came in just now, I saw the soldiers sitting and eating together, but I didn't say hello to them, and when I couldn't find Lao Li and went back to look for them, there was no one.

At this time, I felt an inexplicable feeling of being abandoned by the world, and I didn't want to stay in the cafeteria anymore, so I returned to the ward.

I can now relate to the feelings of the people in the famine, who have been hungry for more than thirty hours to become like this, and how miserable it must have been for those who have been starving for months in the famine!

It turns out that the food is so good, and when I don't lack them, I never feel that they are so important.

Aren't people all like this, they never cherish the things they have, and they take it for granted that this is the case, but once they lose it, they will find that they can't survive without these things. A person who has not endured hunger will not cherish food, a person who is dying of thirst in the desert will understand that water is so indispensable to life, and a person who is drowning can experience that breath and air are the most important things in the course of life.

But we are often blind to the most important things in life, and we breathe all the time but rarely notice it. We also only drink water when we are thirsty, and we simply drink water, and we rarely taste water, and when we eat, we are not grateful to anyone, because we pay for it, the food is cheap, the water is cheaper, and the air is even so cheap that we don't need money.

But now, the cheapest is actually the most precious, we can't live for 5 minutes without air, we can't live for a week without water, we can't live more than a month without food, and houses, luxury cars and beautiful women, which need to pay a lot of money to obtain, are not indispensable to life.

I endured hunger and waited until about 4 o'clock, and before it was time to eat, I went to find Lao Li, there was no one in his room, if he wasn't in the room, he should have gone to play billiards again.

Sure enough, I found him in the billiards room, and he saw me coming to greet me, and I sat next to him and watched him play.

After playing for more than half an hour, I saw that he was still in the mood, and he didn't look like he was resting, but my stomach was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, and it was okay to eat until I got to the meal.

"Lao Li, you don't want to eat yet!" I couldn't help but remind him to eat.

"I'm not hungry, Xiao Wu, you go eat first. He didn't even lift his head.

Why can't he notice my abnormality at all, does he have to be hungry to sunken eye sockets to notice it, this old man used to be very good at detecting people, it really disappointed me.

"Oh. I answered, thinking that it would be almost enough to wait another game.

After Lao Li played a game slowly, I thought he would close the shot, but I didn't expect him to scoop up the balls one by one, and it seemed that he wanted to continue playing.

At this time, he began to notice me, I have been staring at him today, without saying a word, the atmosphere is not the same as usual, he raised his head in surprise and said to me, "Xiao Wu, why don't you go to dinner! ”

"I ......" Originally, I wanted to say that I wanted to wait for you to eat together, and this sentence was usually easy to say, but at this time I couldn't say it, because a strong sense of shame in my heart made it difficult for me to speak.

"Then I'll go, you fight slowly. ”

"Okay. ”

On the way back after leaving Lao Li, my nose was sore, a sense of desolation wrapped me from head to toe, and I felt that I had been completely abandoned by the whole world after being hungry for less than two days.

I don't feel like I have the face to ask someone to treat me to a meal, and it used to be easy and normal for someone to ask someone to eat or someone to ask me for a meal, but now why is it so difficult for me to talk about it when I'm so hungry and in need of food?

What is it that prevents me from asking my friends for help, is it shame?

No, this has nothing to do with shame, shame is just a superficial psychological feature, in fact, the real answer hides a great mystery, I only learned about this mystery much later, and when you finish reading the book, you will know what this mystery is.

Have you had a similar experience, my dear friend?

By night, there was no food scrap left in my whole stomach, and I felt like my stomach was flattening, maybe it was just an illusion.

I was lying in bed, hunger beating over me, and I couldn't think about anything else. What I think about is how nice it would be to have a bowl of instant noodles now, instant noodles, seasoning packets, heated water, swelling, no, I can't wait, I can't wait to eat and drink no noodles and soup left.

When I was a child, I liked to eat bread so much, because bread was still a high-end product at that time, and I usually didn't have to eat it, and I only had money to buy it during the spring outing, and when I grew up, I felt that bread was very boring.

It would be nice to have a carton of milk now, although I don't like to drink plain milk, I prefer sweet milk.

!!!

I suddenly remembered that when I used to dig the tunnel, I bought a few cans of elderly milk powder and used the tin cans as a shovel to dig the soil, as if there was still a can of milk powder that had not been opened.

I jerked out of bed and rummaged through the cupboard.

Got it!

It's really there!!

In an instant, I was as ecstatic as if I had dug up a piece of dog's head gold, and I quickly opened the milk powder can, scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder into the cup, and mixed it with a hot water bottle.

The water temperature was very hot, I couldn't wait, I took the cup to the faucet, added some cold water, put my finger into the cup and stirred it a few times, and then poured a cup of milk into my stomach.

My God!

I swear I've never drunk something so delicious!

I simply can't put into words how beautiful and sacred it is.

It's a feeling that can't be described in words.

If you want to experience it, you can feel it if you're hungry like me for two days.
