Chapter 1 Changing children and eating

Next Chapter

The world is fixed, the earthquake has wind and thunder, the water and fire are chaotic, and the mountains are moved.

This is the most common sentence that my grandfather mentions, and since I was a child, he has spoken to me words that I don't understand, and I have grown up listening to them. In addition to this, my grandfather often told me some strange things, but he also secretly told it behind my grandmother's back. Grandma was so superstitious that she never heard these things.

It wasn't until that building appeared, until those things happened, that it dawned on me that those things might really exist.

Grandpa's favorite thing to mention is grandpa's grandfather, that is, grandpa's father, and most of the strange ones don't understand the right to listen to bedtime stories. The truth and falsehood of the story in this are confusing, and I listened to them in a daze, but I always remembered them in my mind.

In my grandfather's words, it was the story of my grandfather's grandfather Jiang Ergou's hometown in Jiangxi during a turbulent era. At that time, it was just in time for the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the era of warlord warfare, and my grandfather was the second in the family, so he took such a cheap name. People in the countryside pay attention to the cheaper the name, the better it is to feed, so naturally there can't be any nice names. As for the grandfather who became a feng shui onmyoji, changing his name to Jiang Kan is a later story.

When my grandfather was about eleven or twelve years old, he caught up with the great famine in the local area, and he was starving all over the land, and he was a skinny man in the past. There is no light in the eyes, and it looks like it will fall apart when you touch it. A man is a man when his belly is full, and a beast when he is hungry. My grandfather used to say this to me, and his eyes became cloudy as he spoke, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses. I didn't like to hear about it, so I let my grandfather wander.

Hungry, what to eat? Eating tree bark and grass roots, in just half a month, all the trees within a radius of 100 miles were stripped of a layer of bark, and the grass roots were also shaved clean. There is really no way, so I eat the most vicious Guanyin soil. What is Guanyin soil? It was a strange kind of earthy, sweet smell, and if you were hungry, fill your stomach with whatever it could fill. But Guanyin soil can be eaten and can't come out, it saved you for a while, and after a long time, it will naturally cut off your life.

In the end, when the ammunition is exhausted, it is time to eat. You know, tiger poison does not eat children, but other people's children are different.

Every time my grandfather talked about this paragraph, he just said this sentence for me. When I grew up, I realized what this meant, and every time I thought about it, I was trembling for a while. This is a forbidden story, in the era of the Great Famine, you still want to eat meat? But there is one kind of meat you can eat, and that is hehe, but where you can get your own children, just exchange the children. At that time, human life was not even as good as grass life, and who would care.

Grandpa Tai was also ignorant at that age, and after the family fell into the middle of the road, he also ended up in a bleak end.

The family wants to keep a seed, but it can't be the second child who is sandwiched in the middle, so the grandfather was replaced like this.

After changing to that family, I saw a wolf with glowing eyes and a heart ache, and I didn't even have time to see who passed out like that. After waking up again, his hands and feet have already been tied to death, where is the strength of this little child to break free.

At that time, my grandfather leaned against the stove, looked at the black pot and suddenly woke up, and vaguely felt that he was going to be eaten. If you listen carefully, there is the sound of grinding knives outside, and the sound of people talking and laughing, nothing more than finally being able to eat a bite of meat or something. Grandpa scolded bitterly in his heart, and the more he scolded, the more afraid he became, thinking about the knife on his neck and bleeding himself. Even adults are afraid that they will be scared to pee their pants when they encounter this situation, how can my grandfather be so scared that all the snot and tears come out, but where can I scream when I stuff a rag in my mouth.

Even if you can scream, I'm afraid you'll die one step faster, right? It is really called that the heavens are not spiritual, and the earth and the earth should not be.

Grandpa Tai leaned on the broken wall and desperately wanted to escape, his hands and feet were non-stop, and his little face was not even a little bloody. Strangely enough, at noon, the sun suddenly disappeared and became dim and dark. Grandpa Tai saw that this was the king of Hades who wanted to take his own life, and fainted again.

When I woke up again, I only felt that the sky was dark, and I only felt that I was already in the underworld. Grandpa Tai's heart was crossed, and he was dead anyway, so he was afraid of something, but he calmed down.

It only took a few minutes for Grandpa Tai to realize that he was not dead. What's going on, my grandfather, who was curious, pricked up his ears and listened, it turned out that there were a few outsiders from this house.

Listening to the voice, there are two people, a man and a woman, the man is about forty, and the woman is twenty or so tight. Grandpa Tai wondered even more in his heart, who would come to our poor and remote place? Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, maybe I can still get some life from these two people, even if it is better to be a cow and a horse than to eat.

But I was tied up and down, where could I move? Grandpa Tai is also a clever person, gritting his teeth, and slamming his head against the broken wall.

The noise was quite loud, but it did not attract the two outsiders, but the family. The family looked at Grandpa Tai viciously, and punched Grandpa Tai in the temple, where could Grandpa Tai withstand such a beating? The family scolded a few words, nothing more than a warning to grandpa or something, and turned around and went out.

Grandpa Tai was really desperate at this time, and what was even more chilling was that the family was actually his second uncle. On weekdays, the second uncle who laughs at himself is like this, but my grandfather only feels that the sky is falling, and my father and mother don't want to be myself, and even the second uncle on weekdays has to eat himself.

But the more people get to this extent, they look away, and Grandpa Tai shook his head and began to steal sounds, maybe these people can find a little life in the conversation.

"Three masters, it's our honor to stay with us, drink some water first." This voice is from the second uncle, and the more my grandfather listens to it, the more disgusting he feels, and the second uncle who is like that on weekdays is now like this. But vaguely, my grandfather always felt that something was wrong, and he only heard two voices, why did the second uncle say that there were three masters?

"When you're ready to eat, my dad and I will rest first." It's the woman's voice, listening to the voice, I feel like a lady, I don't know why I came to this place.

"This, can the three masters ask for some lottery first? You must know that we have been famine for a long time, and we want a lottery head to ask for a good wind and rain next year. The second uncle's voice came into the ears of the grandfather again, and the grandfather could even think of the flattering appearance of the second uncle, and he only felt disgusted.

"Take it, we don't eat meat." This time it was the man in his forties who spoke, followed by the sound of two silver dollars falling on the table. That's two silver dollars, how long can a family eat.

"Ah, but we only have meat here." The second uncle's voice was trembling, for fear that the man would take back the silver dollar, and he could even hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

Grandpa Tai really hated itchy, and secretly scolded these two uncles for being too immoral, and wanted to exchange their own meat for money if they couldn't eat themselves.

"Go to the town and buy it, aren't these two silver dollars enough?" The woman's voice was a little disgruntled, but she didn't say much.

"Enough is enough, uncle, don't worry, the grass baby will take the three masters to the inner room."

The second uncle always felt that there were many secrets, he was wandering outside in his early years, and when he came back, he was lame. And the second uncle also brought back a lame daughter-in-law, just because of this lame daughter-in-law fell out with the family. I don't know where the second uncle took out a large sum of money and built a big house on the edge of the village. Therefore, the second uncle is also a big family in the village, but it is a large family with few people.

"I said in charge, are we really going to town?" The second mother's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that she had made such a windfall that made the second mother very happy.

"Hmph, of course I'm going." The second uncle paused here, as if he was looking at something, and then whispered: "I'll go with you, I remember that when I met people in the village on the way, they said let's go to other places to borrow grain." ”

"Why?"

"What are you asking nonsense, just remember." The second uncle's voice at this time was a little angry, and he was so frightened that his grandfather shrank his neck.

My grandfather wanted to hear anything more, so the second uncle who listened walked into the kitchen and quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be dizzy.

"Stinky boy, you get dizzy at every turn, it's good, you can't get your flesh if you break my big thing." At this time, the second uncle's voice had become emotionless, cold and unfamiliar.

It took a long time for my grandfather to dare to open his eyes, but he still can't believe that this is his second uncle who is smiling on weekdays. After another taste, the second uncle is afraid to do it?

Grandpa Tai secretly scolded that it was not good, and hurriedly tried to find a way to escape. The potential of people is endless, and my grandfather rubbed his face through a layer of skin, and finally got up. Just as Grandpa was about to break the rope that tied him, the kitchen door was pushed open.

I haven't lived enough. At this time, my grandfather scolded God for playing tricks on people, and gave himself hope to be extinguished.
