Chapter 1161: Eating the Dead
"Dead dog! Hurry up and get out of the way, or we'll skin you alive and stew the dog!" One of Ma Liuye's apprentices shook a bony sharp knife in his hand, trying to scare off the group of wild dogs, but the group of wild dogs did not have the slightest fear, and they all bared their fangs one by one, and a low roar of threat came out of their throats.
This group of wild dogs does have some origins, and they have been wandering around the wilderness outside the city, and in this chaotic year, this group of wild dogs naturally has no one to feed them, and their main food is to eat those who have died. Why do these wild dogs eat dead people? I want to tell you that this Kaihua City is a place in Taiping, the Taiping army has not hit here for a while, but some refugees who are disturbed by the famine often flee to Kaihua City for refuge, those refugees in order to flee, generally abandon their homes and businesses, only bring some fragments of silver taels out, and spend it in a few days, and the silver taels are spent, so they can only exchange the clothes on their bodies for something to eat, until they are not clothed, and they can't even wear clothes, let alone eat, and if they have children, they sell their children for some silver taels to eat. Those who don't have children can only starve to death.
Some hungry people are really hungry and have no choice, they will also eat people, and they don't have the courage to kill the big living people, so they go to eat children, and the children are not willing to eat their own children, so they use their own children to eat with other people's children, so that their children are killed and eaten by other people's families, but they kill other people's children to eat, killing other people's children will naturally not feel distressed and sad, and they can continue to eat, no one will be willing to eat their own children, this is also a matter of no way, they are too hungry, and they will starve to death if they don't eat, eat something to survive, but after eating a child can not live long, more children are better to say, can change a few more times, if the child is less, it will be the same starvation after a few days, this is the legendary Yi Zi cannibalism, whether you believe it or not, it did happen, once people are in a hurry, everything can be done.
In this civilized city, there are too many displaced people, and they can't manage it at all, if they open a warehouse to release grain, they will attract more disaster victims to gather in the city, and the city will be overcrowded at that time, and it will be even more difficult to clean up, so the county magistrate has always ignored these disaster victims, and every day people who starve to death in Kaihua City have to pull out several carriages.
The victims were thrown into a mass grave a few miles away from Kaihua City, and a shallow pit was dug up at random, and the people were simply buried, and the hungry wild dogs would dig up the shallow layer of soil, dig out the dead who were still a little hot from the soil, and while there was still a little warmth, they would tear open the stomach of the dead and take out the soft internal organs in the stomach and feast on it.
Even if the people of Kaihua City die, many poor families can't afford to buy coffins at all, and it's good to have a straw mat to roll when they are dying, and small families can only buy a three-inch cypress plank "dog meeting". Natural disasters in troubled times**, most of the people have nothing to eat, and there are more hungry dogs wandering in the countryside, and after the battle, these hungry dogs go to the battlefield to eat the dead and wounded soldiers and horses, one by one, they are fat and strong, fierce and abnormal, and they haunt the mass graves in groups. Those poor people who were buried in thin coffins were mostly dug up and eaten by hungry dogs hiding in the cemetery after death, and all kinds of tragic stories are endless. K*^s^*
