Minority?

Liu Tianming felt very surprised, and he didn't understand why the girl suddenly jumped to the topic and talked about this. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only nod subconsciously and said vaguely: "It seems to ...... Right! ”

"That's right."

The girl had a look on her face: "No wonder I saw him eating raw meat several times. At first I felt nauseous. Later, I heard that some ethnic minorities have the habit of eating raw meat. It is said that it is a famous local dish called chopped or something......

Raw meat?

Liu Tianming felt his body tremble slightly, and suddenly, his long-occluded brain seemed to have been pierced through a hole by an incomparably powerful force, and countless sobriety and sanity that had never been seen before were instantly poured into his body. Shocked and shocked, Liu Tianming still maintained the necessary composure. He took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and asked slowly and seriously, "Are you sure that Xiao Wu really eats raw meat?" ”

"yes!"

Liu Tianming concealed it well, and the girl didn't notice anything unusual at all: "I saw him buy raw pork from the market a few times, and he secretly avoided me to eat it." And that's ......"

Speaking of this, the girl suddenly closed her mouth, her expression looked a little puzzled, and her originally stretched brow gradually furrowed.

Liu Tianming asked tentatively: "What else?" ”

After a few seconds of silence, the girl raised her black and long eyelashes and looked at Liu Tianming seriously. From those dark eyes, Liu Tianming saw doubts, confusion, and fear that had obviously just arisen.

"I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you that. However, since you are Wu Jian's friend and a colleague in his hospital, there should be no problem in saying it! ”

The girl's voice became softer and her speech slowed down. After hesitating for a moment, she hesitated and said, "Some time ago, he often brought back some chickens. ”

Thinking of what the girl had said before, Liu Tianming asked repeatedly: "Chicken? Live chickens? ”

The girl nodded, her brows furrowed even tighter: "Renting a house here, the landlord is not allowed to cook and eat by ourselves." I don't know what he did with those chickens. I haven't seen him kill chickens, but the next day Wu Jian would throw a large bag of chicken feathers outside to the garbage room. If...... If he had stewed chicken in the house, it would have been impossible not to call me. He, he said he liked my ......"

The human mind is indeed something of infinite imagination. There are many things that the girl has seen before, but at that time she never thought about the bad side. It is only now that she thinks of many questions that she may have thought of because of her conversation with Liu Tianming, but she has never thought about it.

It's really scary.

Liu Tianming did not continue to ask. There's no need for that anymore.

The girl's voice was a little crying, and she could hear the growing fear in it: "Wu Jian should have his own reasons for doing such a thing...... You, didn't you just say that Wu Jian is an ethnic minority? Chop this dish, there should also be chicken as an ingredient, right? ”

(Note: Chop sheng, a typical Dai dish, has a sour and spicy taste, a fresh and tender taste, and uses fresh animals as ingredients.) ）

……

Leave the rental house and walk alone on the narrow urban village road. In the distance, colorful neon lights flickered on the tops of high-rise buildings, and the occasional sound of car horns could be heard on the road in the distance. Everything shows that the world is still that world, and the earth is still rotating according to fixed laws, but Liu Tianming feels that his heart is empty, and his thinking and consciousness seem to have completely sunk into a bottomless pool, and he can no longer float.

There is no doubt that Xiao Wu's body has changed.

The root cause must be the mysterious patient who was treated that night.

From a lot of sugar craving to starting to eat meat, it is a process of food intake that goes from low to high. After all, meat is able to provide much more energy and nutrients. What's more, according to the girl's description, Xiao Wu was still eating raw meat at that time.

Humans love cooked food because of their needs in terms of smell, taste and hygiene. From a purely nutritional point of view, unprocessed whole foods are actually the richest in various trace elements and energy.

Liu Tianming remembers very well that Xiao Wu is not an ethnic minority. He, like himself, is of Han nationality.

As for raw meat...... Thinking of this, Liu Tianming couldn't help but shudder.

He couldn't imagine that he would one day become like that, eating raw meat.

His mind was full of all kinds of random thoughts, and Liu Tianming walked slowly along the way he came. Even though it was summer, he felt extremely cold all over his body, and he even had to clench his teeth to control them from fighting out of fear.

In the distance, you can see the bus stop. There is a wooden sign on the side of the country road that connects to the road. With the light shining from the nearest house in the urban village behind him, Liu Tianming saw some words written on the wooden sign with red paint————Fu'an Green Chicken Farm, cheap and large-scale."

Chicken farm? Chicken farm?

Liu Tianming suddenly remembered what the girl said before about Xiao Wu and live chickens. Many things that were originally confused and confused also sorted out a clear line in Liu Tianming's mind.

Xiao Wu is a nurse at the hospital with an average salary.

There are a lot of candy wrappers scattered in the rental house, this kind of candy is very expensive, and Xiao Wu eats a large amount, even if it is later changed to bagged sugar, his income is still not enough. Of course, he later switched to eating meat. Although I don't know how much Xiao Wu eats each meal, I can know that he has a great appetite from the last time I saw the big steamed buns that Xiao Wu inserted on the chopsticks in the hospital. The price of more than 30 yuan a kilogram of pork is impossible for Xiao Wu to bear for a long time. So, he later changed to eating chicken?

Because there's a chicken farm nearby.

When people are cornered into a difficult situation, they do everything. Thieves and robbers were originally born out of hunger and cold. So, can it be considered that Xiao Wu spent all his money, but because of physical changes, he could not continue to return to work in the hospital, and he needed to eat normally, so he chose to eat chicken?

Those chickens should have been stolen.

……

After walking about a kilometer along the country dirt road, I saw two rows of wide brick bungalows in the distance. It is a wasteland, with ditches and barbed wire fences cutting off the entire farm from the outside world. Liu Tianming felt very strange, it should have been pitch black in the distance at night, but he could see some blurred scenes. Although it is not as clear as seeing in the daytime, it is beyond the range of normal people's vision.

What's more, in such a rural wilderness, there is no light at all.

An iron door of the chicken farm was open, and the mosquito-ridden electric light illuminated the four large characters directly below the wall———— Fu'an Chicken Farm.

A strong smell of chicken manure blew down the night wind. Liu Tianming subconsciously raised his arm to cover his nostrils, and then slowly lowered his arm. In such a place, the stench is unavoidable. As long as you stay for a long time, you will naturally get used to it.

As soon as he walked into the chicken farm, Liu Tianming heard an extremely low voice.

It's very regular, some like breathing heard through the earpiece from the chest cavity of a pneumonia patient.

It's full of chickens.

The door of the bungalow in front of it was unlocked, and you could see the neatly arranged chicken cages. Countless live chickens with red crests and white feathers huddle next to each other in cages. Some are napping; Some stuck their heads out of the cracks in their cages, searching for feed scraps in the empty troughs outside; Some chickens also found Liu Tianming who was walking in from the outside, and "clucked" at him.

There is no one who can see only chickens. Liu Tianming stood in the center of the spacious passage, a little overwhelmed. He wanted to shout loudly and get the attention of the owner of the chicken farm, but a very dangerous signal came to his mind.

He felt the urge to run away. That voice Liu Tianming heard again. It doesn't seem to come from the ear, but directly from the skull.

Dangerous!

Dangerous!

Dangerous!

At this moment, Liu Tianming's feeling is very special. He listened to the mysterious voice as he took a few steps forward, picked up a shovel from the shelf next to the chicken coop, and walked towards another room directly opposite.

The information that exists in the mind is not only dangerous, but also a latent exhilaration that cannot be explained in words. It's as if a drug addict suddenly sees the powdered substance they need most.

Liu Tianming could only walk slowly towards the source of the voice.

He clenched the shovel in his hand so hard that his heart seemed to be nervous and he seemed to lose the ability to beat. He knew he was in the wrong place, but there was no turning back.

Xiao Wu is here, in this chicken farm.

He's as infectious as I am. That mysterious, dangerous, and infinitely seductive voice came from Xiao Wu.

Walking out of the passage, the cool night breeze woke Liu Tianming's drowsy mind. The dull voice suddenly became sharp, and Liu Tianming felt as if he was calling himself, as if there were many people chanting incantations together. It is like a wavy line, rising from the trough to the sky, and then immediately falling down. Liu Tianming oozed a big drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and he tried his best to understand, and used his own way to figure out the meaning that the voice wanted to express. It turned out that the concept represented by sound actually has only two meanings: trough and high.

Trough: Hungry!

High Point: Kill!

It's really Xiao Wu. Although he didn't see his existence with his own eyes, Liu Tianming knew that he was here. This way of understanding and communication is beyond the scope of normal human senses, and is entirely due to the collision of bioelectric frequencies between cells.

The source of the sound is in front, and there is no need to use the ears or brain to judge, Liu Tianming saw the familiar shadow in front of him. A ray of moonlight shone down from the sky at this time, illuminating the entire ground in a silvery light.
