Chapter 378: Broth

Looking at the steaming bowl of broth in front of him, Lao Wu couldn't help but shiver and regurgitate, raised his eyes to look at the mother sitting opposite, held his mouth to endure the rising stomach acid, and turned his eyes to think about how to leave this ghost place and this ghost old woman.

"Oh Wu! Drink the soup and drink it while it's hot. Mother Liang sat opposite Lao Wu, looked at him so directly, and asked him to drink soup.

Lao Wu didn't even know what kind of meat this was, how dare he drink it! I had to swallow my saliva and smile and said, "Mom, haven't I been here for many days?" It's also that there have been too many things recently, and I've forgotten about it, don't be angry with me! ”

Mother Liang lowered her head and grinned a few times, then raised her face and looked at the broth in front of Lao Wu with those muddy eyes and said, "Wu, why does Mother Liang blame you?" It's good to be here! Come, drink the soup, drink it quickly! ”

Seeing that Liang's mother kept urging him to drink the soup, Lao Wu had no choice but to pick up a pair of chopsticks on the table, reached into the soup and picked up the green vegetables and the gray-white meat inside, and looked closely, and found that the meat skin was very thick, and there were many white hard hairs on the surface that had not been cleaned.

Lao Wu was a little dumbfounded at the time, he scared himself for a long time, but the result was a misunderstanding, and he regarded this mother as a laughing woman who caught the child to eat, this is really a snake bite for ten years and afraid of the well rope, how can you see that no one looks like a person? Isn't there something sick about this brain? Thinking of his abnormal behavior just now, the mother must have thought that she had something to leave or was embarrassed to eat, so she gave him a bowl as soon as she got out of the pot, and Mother Liang herself was reluctant to look at him to eat, Lao Wu felt that he was really not a thing, and he was very sad in his heart to be sorry for the hard-working mother, and he raised his hand and pumped himself a mouth for some reason. The crunch of the beating echoed in the house for a long time.

This slap stunned Lao Wu himself, and he was stunned for a long time before he heard Liang's mother whisper: "Wu, what are you doing?" Why do you slap your face? ”

Lao Wu blinked his eyes a few times and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, there is a fly, let me shoot it to death." Hey, don't look at it, you drink this soup first. I'm not in a hurry. With that, he pushed the steaming bowl of broth in front of him in front of his mother and asked her to drink it while it was hot.

Liang Ma clicked her mouth a few times, grinned at Lao Wu, and then picked up the bowl and drank a few big mouthfuls of soup, and when she put the bowl down, she was still chewing something in her mouth, her mouth was full of oil and water, and a pair of small eyes that made her eyes mushy were narrowed into thin slits, with a satisfied look.

This morning, I ate the bread of the stick noodles. I didn't have much to eat, and I came to Liang's mother's house hungry, but I was frightened again, and I was covered with cold sweat, and after this calmed down, my stomach was still overturned, but it was disgusting just now, but I was hungry at this time. Watching Mother Liang drink broth. Smelling the aroma of stewed meat all over the house, Lao Wu was embarrassed to ask Liang's mother to help him serve a bowl of soup. I couldn't even take a bowl to drink by myself, so I could only watch as Mother Liang slowly drank up a big bowl of broth.

At this time, Lao Wu understood one thing, when there was a famine, how many people didn't eat a bite of food for a few days, and the feeling of hunger must be a hundred times more ferocious than he is now. If you don't have anything for two days at this time, you can estimate that even if this mother really uses children's meat to make soup. He can also drink a big bowl, and lick it all along the way. But he wasn't hungry to that extent, and he was also a man who had experienced so many things that he wouldn't be confused by that bowl of broth just because he was hungry, but this hunger was particularly sobering, and he could see some details that he couldn't see before.

Lao Wu stared at the bowl full of broth just now after moving away. He suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some broken pieces of cloth in the place where the firewood was stacked next to the stove, and he could see that there was a tailoring place, which should have been clothes before. Looking at the style and color of the cloth, it is a bit like a single cloth shirt that only children wear, how can there be children's broken clothes in this mother's house?

Thinking of this, Lao Wu looked down at the ground with a thick layer of dust that has not been cleaned all year round, and vaguely seemed to see some liquid residues after solidification, which had turned dark black, and it looked like it had been a few days, most of them were under the stove board, and it should have been coagulated by the blood stains that dripped from something on the board.

Lao Wu didn't know why he wanted to pay attention to these things, maybe because he felt that Liang Ma was a little strange, so he subconsciously observed the surroundings, but the things he found made Lao Wu feel uncomfortable, especially the pile of scattered fine bones in the courtyard, as well as the few pools of dark solidified liquid on the ground in the house, Lao Wu especially wanted to know what kind of meat Liang Ma was cooking in the pot at this time.

As a result, before Lao Wu asked Liang's mother, he heard a strange clicking sound, and the movement seemed to come from the dark inner room, Lao Wu squinted his eyes and glanced at the place where the sound came from, looked at the door of the inner room with a red curtain, and asked Liang's mother in a low voice: "Hey?" Mom, did you hear that? What's going on in this house? ”

Mother Liang opened her mouth, turned her head to look at the inner room, and then turned her head back and said to Lao Wu with a smile: "It's okay, there may be beasts coming in through the window and stealing food in the house, they will leave after eating, don't care." ”

Lao Wu rolled his eyes a few times and said, "Mom, do you still have something to eat in this house?" What is it? ”

Mother Liang raised her eyebrows, showed a smile and said, "Wu, why are you more gluttonous than that black fat man?" He has always been the only one who asks about food, why did you ask today? Oops, oops! Mother Liang is really confused, why didn't you forget that you haven't drunk the broth yet, don't worry, Mother Liang will serve you a bowl, don't go there while you sit here! After speaking, Mother Liang struggled to get up from the stool, and walked slowly to the stove with her strange little feet on the ground.

Lao Wu saw that Liang's mother had bad legs and feet, and just wanted to stand up to help her, and sat back to Sheng it himself, but before he left the stool, he heard a strange sound in the house, only through a thin curtain, but he didn't know what was going on inside, Lao Wu's curiosity rose, and he looked at the small door and curtain in the middle room, and then got up to go into the inner room to see.

But as soon as Lao Wu stood up, before he could take a step, he saw that Liang's mother suddenly turned around, she was holding an empty bowl in her hand, the expression on her face was very weird, and a pair of small eyes stared at Lao Wu who stood up. Seeing this, Lao Wu hurriedly explained: "Mother Liang, I'm not leaving, aren't there animals in your house?" That brute must have ruined your bedding, I'll go in and help you get rid of it!" ”

After Lao Wu finished speaking, he was about to raise his legs and walk over to open the curtain and enter the inner room, but before he could take the first step, he heard Liang's mother shout in a sharp voice: "You sit down!" Don't go anywhere! (To be continued......)
