Tianxiang didn't guess wrong, the purpose of the woman is here. Of course, he didn't want to continue to hide his intentions. Just as the woman's footsteps stepped on the stairs, Tianxiang suddenly flashed his figure from behind the wall, and the flat muzzle of the gun in his hand was pointed at the woman with a panicked and stunned face.

"Woman? Hey! I think it's a girl. Tianxiang thought self-deprecatingly, the woman in front of him was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. The skin, on the other hand, is the pale that all hunters share. It's just that the beautiful face shape like a goose egg makes up for all the defects brought by the color.

It should be admitted that this is a rather beautiful girl. Although, she looks skinny, she is really thin.

Tianxiang's sudden appearance surprised the girl quite a bit, which can be seen from the fact that she subconsciously pressed the knife on her waist with her hand. A pair of big eyes with long eyelashes are full of inexplicable fear. He tried to calm his breathing, but he couldn't suppress the increase in his heartbeat. Everything indicates: she is scared, quite scared.

Seeing all this, Tianxiang suddenly felt very embarrassed. A girl of her own age was actually trembling with fear in front of her. This is the first time this kind of thing has happened. I don't know and think I'm deliberately bullying others. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin: "Who are you?" How did you end up here? ”

Talking is talking, but the muzzle of the gun in his hand still has no intention of putting it down.

"You, are you also a hunter?" The girl hesitated for a long time, and finally said the question in her heart as if she had made up her mind. This can't be blamed on her, Tianxiang has this set of clothes, I'm afraid anyone who sees it will feel curious. After all, clothing to protect oneself from the cold is also a rather rare thing in this world. Although it cannot bring people to life like food, it is also an indispensable thing for human survival. It's not uncommon for hunters to tear each other apart over a piece of clothing.

Gently nodded, which was considered to be an answer to the girl's question. Next, of course, it was her turn to come uninvited to explain the doubts in Tianxiang's mind.

"I, I came running when I smelled the food. You, can you, can you, can you give me something to eat? Not too much, just a little. I'm so hungry, and I beg you, if I don't eat again, I'm afraid I won't live long. May I? ”

Seeing that there was no malice on Tianxiang's face, there was no weapon in his hand that hunters were accustomed to. The girl, who had settled down a little bit, also carefully said what she meant. In fact, asking for food from others is quite common in the hunting world. As long as you are able to pay a certain price for what you are asking for, the owner of the food will generally not refuse. However, such exchanges are often grossly unfair. Sometimes, a palm-sized slice of roast meat can be exchanged for a finest weapon, or a warm piece of clothing. After all, when you're at your hungriest, you don't think about your future at all. All I was thinking about was how to get a bite to eat.

As for the rest, we will still work it out after we have eaten a full stomach.

Tianxiang didn't speak, he was carefully looking at the girl Zhou up and down. If it had been a few days ago, he would have not hesitated to ask the girl to leave the knife and all her clothes. Although you can't use these things, you can also give them to Tianrou. But now, he has no such thoughts. On the one hand, this is of course because he now has enough food and clothing, and he still has a powerful gun in his hand. On the other hand, there is something called "friendliness" in the knowledge gained from the library during this time. In the words of the ancients, this is actually one of the most beautiful qualities of human beings.

Looking at the anxious girl in front of him, and her throat that was stimulated by the smell of barbecue and was desperately swallowing saliva up and down, Tianxiang suddenly felt very funny: when did he become so indifferent? I think that at the beginning, in order to let my sister Tianrou eat a warm and hot food, he gritted his teeth and exchanged the only coat with other hunters, and the humiliation and cold taste was really unforgettable for him.

"Come in!" Tianxiang pulled on the safety of the gun and turned sideways to get out of the way. In a friendly gesture, he invited the girl, who was almost fainting from hunger, into the house. This unexpected move obviously surprised the panicked girl, and it was clear that she was hesitating whether to accept the stranger's invitation. Eventually, the craving for food and the aroma of barbecue reaching her nostrils convinced her. Slowly and cautiously walked into the house, and sat down slightly shyly in front of the warm fire.

Hungry people eat quite horrible. Tianxiang was deeply touched by this, because he himself had such an experience. Although he estimated that the girl's eating appearance was somewhat indecent, he was still taken aback by the girl's rude movements.

The amount of barbecue skewered on iron bars is quite large, weighing about five or six kilograms. This is all the food for Tianxiang for the next few days. In order to make it easier to preserve, he took out all the insects and beasts and grilled them. After all, grilled meat is not only delicious compared to raw meat, but it is also less perishable. It's just that when he saw the eating method of this girl who begged for food, which can only be described as terrifying, he could only smile bitterly in his heart: "It seems that if you don't hunt insects for meat tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll starve." ”

A piece of barbecue the size of an arm, she didn't let go of the minced meat that fell on the ground, and swallowed it all in just a few minutes. There are six such barbecues, except for the one that Tianxiang chewed slowly in his hand to taste the taste, the remaining five, with a lot of smoke, were swallowed by this quiet and weak girl. If Tianxiang hadn't found out and hurriedly grabbed it, I'm afraid that even the remaining half of the strip in her hand would disappear into the girl's cute little mouth that seemed to be forever filled at an incredible speed in a few seconds.

"Drink some water, you can't eat any more!" Tianxiang laughed and took out his water bag from his backpack and handed it over: "According to this way of eating, no matter how many things are not enough for you to eat!" ”

The girl's face suddenly flushed, which made her already good-looking look even more beautiful. Silently, she lowered her head and took the water bag, gently unscrewed the lid, and took a small sip of sweet cold water. That kind of quiet and light appearance is fundamentally in contrast to the previous movements.

"I'm not not going to give it to you, I mean, you'd better eat it slowly." Tianxiang shook his head helplessly, and stuffed the half of the barbecue meat he had just grabbed into the girl's hand again: "After all, you have been hungry for a long time, and if you suddenly eat quickly, it is easy to regurgitate and choke." If you think about it, a big ball of barbecue stuck in the throat will suffocate people! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm so hungry, so 。。。。。。 So...... The girl gently tightened the lid of the water bag, with the flying red on her face, and slowly handed the bag back to Tianxiang, responding to Tianxiang's words in her mouth, but her eyes were still fixed on the half of the fragrant barbecue in her hand.

"Eat! Eat! Eat with confidence! If not enough, these are yours. Tianxiang said angrily and funny: "Eat slowly, don't worry." Just don't choke. ”

"No, not so much, just this last half is enough, enough!" Listening to Tianxiang's words, the girl seemed a little panicked.

"It's okay, after eating these, let's kill a few more bugs tomorrow. You can eat with confidence! Tianxiang suddenly felt very funny about the nervousness shown by the girl.

"No, no, no, enough is enough, really enough. Eat so much of you, I 。。。。。。 I...... I'm afraid I don't have the 。。。。。。 you like in me I, I'm afraid I can't get that much to exchange for food! ”

"Swap?" Tianxiang shook his head lightly, he didn't think about exchanging anything with this girl at all, in fact, she couldn't take out anything that she could see. Just a few pieces of barbecue, in the words of the ancients, "this is the greatest help that can be given to the weak". It's just that exchanging the items you need most with each other is a rule that hunters follow with each other. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but half-jokingly say, "With the way you look now, what can you exchange with me?" ”

The girl stopped chewing, gently put down the roast in her hand, slowly stood up, walked to Tianxiang and knelt down on her knees. Carefully untie a red headband tied to the long hair at the back of his head, and said softly to Tianxiang with shyness in his eyes: "I will exchange it with you myself, is it okay?" ”

"Yourself?" Tianxiang was a little confused: "How do you exchange it yourself?" ”

Hearing this, the girl gasped slightly, as if she had made up her mind.

"You, what you call the exchange, is that it?"

"That's all I have. Of course, I can afford to give so little compared to the food. But no matter what, please don't get angry about it, I'll do my best to accommodate all your requests. The girl whispered nervously, carefully looking at Tianxiang's face. As if he was afraid that the strong hunter would be angry, he said softly: "I, I don't want to be a meat man." I can accompany you, as many times as I want, but, but please, don't turn me into a flesh man! ”

Meat man, this term Tianxiang is not unfamiliar. The so-called meat people are people in certain hunting groups who are specially bred to be eaten as meat. These people are usually old and infirm, children, and women. In hunting groups, they generally do chores such as grilling food and cleaning clothes for strong men. Unable to hunt with caravans, and unable to fight the threat of insects, their food supply was the worst, least, and worst of all hunters. Capture the most unpalatable parts of your prey, carrion, stinky bones。。。。。。 All of this is what they depend on for their survival. But no one disputes their pitiful treatment.

As long as he is a strong hunter with ability, he can order any weak person who wants him to be his own flesh. It is also a pretty good option, especially for the weak who are in desperate need of food and are teetering on the brink of death.

Without food, you must die now. But if you become a meat man, although you can't eat enough, you can still continue your humble life to some extent. Dying now and being killed later are fundamentally two different concepts. The only difference is that the free hunter can control his own life at will, while the meat man can only accept the slaughter of others.

Because they are no longer human beings, but just lowly creatures who depend on others for survival. The purpose of their life is only to donate their bodies to other powerful people when food is scarce or there is no hunting fruit, so as to satisfy the hungry desires of others.

They are a lump of meat, a lump of flesh that walks on its own, a lump of flesh that can stay fresh at all times, and will never rot as long as life continues.

Of course, no one willingly wants to be food in his mouth. As a result, they will also band together to form new hunting groups to fight against threats from insects and their kindred.

It is clear that this girl is one of them. Tianxiang knows that meat people don't have legs, and almost all meat people don't have legs. Their legs had been cut off alive by the hunters. On the one hand, this can prevent the meat man from escaping. On the other hand, it can make the meat man less active and raise more fat. Naturally, the breeder will be able to eat more.

"Let's go!" Tianxiang suddenly felt a churn in his stomach, as if he was about to vomit out all the barbecue he had just eaten. He didn't just know about the existence of the meat man today, and he had seen other hunters slaughter the living many times before. It's just that he, who has inherited too many ideas from the ancients, can't accept this terrible custom of feeding on his own kind.

Yes, human flesh tastes very delicious. But that's for bugs, after all. People eat people, kill each other among their kind, and raise people like domestic animals。。。。。。 Oh, my God! What's wrong with the world? Is the world of light, beauty, and happiness in the books of the ancients really just a fantasy?

"Let's go! There's no need to exchange it, I'll treat this bit of food as if I gave it to you. Holding back the nausea in his heart, Tianxiang silently gently picked up the half-kneeling girl from the ground and hugged her tightly into his arms. At that moment, Tianxiang felt as if he was hugging his sister who had grown up. Suddenly, he felt a great urge to cry. Why, he couldn't tell. All he knew was that his nose was sore, his eyes were trembling, and there was a feeling that he couldn't suppress at all, as if he was about to release it strongly from the depths of his heart.

The girl was a little overwhelmed, blinked her big beautiful eyes in panic, and looked sideways at the back of Tianxiang's head, which was covered by thick black hair, rather incomprehensibly

"You better go and find a group of female hunters. It's safer there. Furiously, he picked up the rest of the roast from the ground and stuffed it into her hands, along with the half of the piece that the girl had just put down. He couldn't bear the collision of two completely different ideas in his mind. The cruel reality of the hunting world and the moral concepts in the books of the ancients were like two huge magic hands desperately tearing the nerves of his brain, and there were faint bursts of unbearable colic.

Therefore, the only way to achieve liberation is to let the girl go, hurry up, and go as far as possible.

(Votes, votes, votes come out, no more votes, I'm going to kill meat people!) Anyway, the old black heart is very black, and it doesn't matter how black it is. Warning, hand over the ticket! )
