"I can't even eat, it's really an unimaginable world!" Liu Chang listened to Li Qingshui's words, picked up an empty bowl and filled it with a full bowl for the little girl.

"Come on, cheers for the we have to eat now!"

"Your joke is really vulgar." The fat man stood aside and sighed quietly, and then filled himself a bowl as well.

Then the three of them took their bowls one after another, and then smelled the vegetable soup one after another, and then frowned at the same time.

After a while, the little girl plucked up the courage to take her first sip of the soup, and as the soup took its mouth, her pale little face became completely bloodless, but she swallowed it with trembling cheeks. After the first sip, she tasted the taste, and then, like those patients who swallow Chinese medicine, pinched her nose and swallowed the soup and vegetables in a big gulp, hoping to minimize the pain time.

Seeing the little girl drinking soup like this, Zhu Lin seemed to want to imitate it, first pinched her nose, then took a deep breath, closed the valve and drank a few sips of vegetable juice. But at the same moment when she gulped down the soup, her bowl fell to the ground with a "snap", followed by a strong vomiting sound.

"Gross!" The vegetable juice she had just drunk gushed out of her mouth and nose along with gastric juices, making the already unpleasant smell of the dormitory even stranger.

"I'm sorry." Zhu Lin vomited, wiped the residue from the corner of her mouth, and gave the other four people an apologetic look, and then the person weakly held his stomach and picked up the broom in the dormitory and began to clean up the "wreckage" he had caused.

"Ugh." After seeing the reactions of the other two, the fat man plucked up his courage to the soup bowl a few times, and after taking a small sip, he also gave up.

"No, I can't choke." The fat man put his bowl aside, indicating that he would not eat it again.

"What fragile people." Li Qingshui saw the reaction of the two of them, and did not force them to continue eating, after eating the food in his bowl, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and closed his eyes and pondered.

And Liu Chang didn't speak, and after silently eating the food in his bowl, he ate it together with the remaining vegetable soup in the pot.

Then there was a strange feeling of warmth in the abdomen, and the stench in the mouth did not seem so strong—human suffering, whatever it was, was not pain after the period of labor pain. Because the human body has evolved so well, excessive pain equivalents can cause the brain to voluntarily cut off contact with the body, which is called fainting. And if people are stimulated by special conditions and cannot faint, the pain after the labor pain period will gradually fade, and even after some people reach the extreme, the brain will help them transform the pain into another kind of pleasure.

So, people are really amazing creatures.

Liu Chang too. After drinking a stomach full of stinky water, the only thing he can feel now is the warmth in his stomach, which makes him feel no longer hungry and feel comfortable.

"How can you eat so much?" Seeing Liu Chang eat all the pots of soup, Zhu Lin's face was pale and full of admiration, "I can't eat a bite." ”

"Endure the first bite, it's not so unpalatable." Liu Chang replied truthfully.

"But I can't take a bite."

"There's nothing you can't bear, I can bet that in three days, or not three days, you'll be able to eat these things, and you'll definitely feel delicious." After listening to Zhu Lin's words, Li Qingshui opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Human beings have never been squeamish animals, and their ** for food will be overwhelming." ”

"I don't believe it, I'm not going to eat these things in my death." Zhu Lin retorted: "Let me eat these, I'd rather die." ”

"You don't want to eat these things, it's because you've never tried real hunger when you've grown so big, and people who have experienced famine know how terrible people are about food. Surname. Desire is derived from people's desire to reproduce, appetite is derived from the desire to survive, and the desire to reproduce is also a branch of the desire to survive. The pain of hunger is a thousand times greater than that of hunger. ”

"The ** of a person who is really hungry is equivalent to the surname of a person who has been fed an aphrodisiac with a strong surname. Ten times the desire - the latter is that as long as there is a different surname, it will not let go, while the former is, as long as it can be stuffed into the stomach, it will not go forward. In the ancient days of hunger, those who ate tree bark and soil abounded, and when people were hungry, even if there was poison in front of them, they would first fill their stomachs. Li Qingshui spoke, lay back on his bed, and closed his eyes: "So, if you don't eat these things today, I won't urge you, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, you will definitely eat." ”

After saying this, Li Qingshui closed his eyes again, it was obvious that he was a person who was very good at saving body energy.

And Liu Chang was also doing the same thing, while Li Qingshui was talking, he lay back beside the girl and closed his eyes - although he has eaten a stomach full of green vegetable soup now, but after all, he is only filled with "water full", no carbohydrates, no protein, and the energy he needs in his body has not made up for it at all.

Therefore, for physical strength, it is necessary to save a little if you can save a little, which is the foundation of ensuring survival.

As Li Qingshui and Liu Chang closed their eyes, the little girl curled up beside Liu Chang and did not speak, the fat man and Zhu Lin stopped speaking because of Li Qingshui's preaching, and in the room, their area fell into a short silence.

The other two families in this dormitory were also silent from beginning to end. One family is because someone has just died, and there is no way to "redress grievances", except for throwing a vicious look at Liu Chang and their area from time to time, the dull and depressing atmosphere makes them unable to open their mouths.

As for the other one, it is even more miserable. The two old men in his family seemed to be sick, and the hunger and sleeping on the floor, coupled with the high level of mental stress and age, made the faces of the two old men sickly, and the daughter gave up a bed for them to squeeze in a single bed, and silently watched over them beside them.

And Liu Chang, who was sleeping at their feet, obviously knew about this scene for a long time, but he still had no intention of getting out of bed. In such a world, he really felt that he was unable to protect himself, how difficult it was to find prey and food, he had thoroughly appreciated it today. Now, lying on a relatively soft bed was the only thing that helped him regain his strength. And physical strength means survival, and he can't give up his chances of survival to anyone else - even if the dying old man looks sad.

That's it

Three "families", eleven people, one room.

fell silent.

The sky was completely darkened in silence - those who knew the law of the jungle knew that the jungle at night was ten times more dangerous than the jungle during the day, so no one dared to go out at such a time.

Finally opened his eyes and looked at the black and red world outside the window, Liu Chang closed his eyes, hugged the little girl in his arms, and slowly fell asleep.

"Will the teacher accompany me on a hunting trip tomorrow?"

"Hmm."

This is the last line of dialogue in the quiet room.
