A woman with small feet, taking small broken steps, trying to walk as fast as she can. It is surrounded by mountains, and not far away, a green lake is sandwiched between the mountains. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, because it was not far from home.

Turning a col, two people suddenly sprang up from the grass nest in front of her, and before she could understand what was going on, she was stuffed into a coarse cloth pocket more than a man high, and then she was carried straight away.

She struggled as hard as she could, but she didn't have the strength of the two men, and screamed for help with all her might, surrounded by mountains, but heard her own echo.

"I thought there were no more people alive today, it was getting dark. ”

The person who spoke was squatting on the ground to light the fire, and the large cauldron on the shelf, with a diameter of one meter and a half, had already boiled the water in the pot.

"Isn't this a big deal, and one was caught, but it was a woman, thin as a straw, and there was not much meat on her body. ”

Struggle, screaming, and fear, her heart was beating hard. However, her consciousness was not completely confused, she knew that she was going to be finished, and this was carried to the "killing field".

The "killing field" is the place of slaughter. But at this time, there are no more animals to slaughter, only people.

She kept babbling, hoping to spare her life. She has a mother in her eighties and three children who are four or five years old waiting to be fed. Although I couldn't see anyone, I heard the voice and knew that she was crying.

Dozens of seconds later, a large rock smashed on the cloth pocket, and it was finally quiet.

After another few dozen minutes, a living person became a meat eater torn by these living people.

After cannibalism, the bones are scattered all over the ground and are not buried.

A true story that was told over and over again by my grandmother happened during the Republic of China, and the woman who was killed and eaten was from the same village as my grandmother.

This used to be a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the spring water was clear and abundant, so it was named Hongquan. However, during the famine, the spring water was stained red with human blood because of murder, so it became a red spring. At that time, a strong man did not dare to pass by here in broad daylight!

Yanjin County in the movie "1942" is only more than 100 miles away from the author's hometown. At that time, the peasants who had run out of grain formed a group of big eaters, and robbed the landlords of each village one by one. Feng Xiaogang showed starvation all over the field in the movie, showing dogs eating people, but he didn't and didn't dare to show another scene, that is, people eating people!

When it doesn't rain in any year, it's either to escape the famine or go to Shanxi. This is a folk song in northern Henan. On the way to escape the famine, eating people or being eaten by others is really normal and commonplace.

Some people may ask, why didn't the government send people to inspect and arrest them? At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and the bandits who had swarmed up in various places could not be caught, and these murderous and cannibalistic masters who hid on the side of the mountain roads were even more like looking for a needle in a haystack to arrest them. What's more, military disasters and bandits are the new force that eats human flesh.

The other most widespread in the hometown is that the family is dying of hunger, and the parents discuss at night that they want to kill and eat their daughter. happened to be heard by her daughter, and she ran away with her younger brother overnight. It was the season of wheat scion, and she and her brother survived by eating raw wheat. By the time they got home, their father and mother had been starving to death for days.

After the disillusionment of morality and human ethics, it is the beginning of the tragedy of cannibalism, and there are many inducements that lead to human disillusionment.

Cannibalism is not uncommon in thousands of years of history. Droughts, locust plagues, and floods eat people; bandits eat people indiscriminately when there are military disasters; people eat people when there is a change of regime; and major changes within the regime can also eat people. If these reasons are superimposed, cannibalism is even more commonplace. The cannibalism period recorded in the 24 histories alone exceeds 100, and if you add the wild historical records, the 5,000-year Chinese civilization and cannibalism are almost continuous. If it is said that cannibalism by natural disasters is a tragedy of human ethics, and cannibalism under the imminent threat of war is the complete collapse of the moral order of the entire society.

No wonder Lu Xun said in "Diary of a Madman" that what he saw in the history books was "cannibalism".

The large-scale cannibalism incident should have started with the Battle of Changping. "Historical Records: The Biography of King Bai Qi" records: Zhao Kuo was besieged, and the Zhao army had no reserves, "not to eat for forty-six days, and all of them were killed and eaten by the inner yin." Including the generals fighting sharply, Qin shot and killed. The 450,000 Zhao army surrendered to Qin, and Qin killed them all."

Sima Qian did not say cannibalism, but vaguely said killing each other. Now think about it, killing and eating each other, what a cruel scene!

Qin later killed more than 400,000 Zhao troops, and we will think that this is burying people in modern times, but this is not the case.

After the Qin army killed people, they piled up the corpses into a mound of earth and pasted them with mud, which was historically called "Jingguan". We often see the word "mountain of bones", which is such a scene. The purpose of this is to show off force on the one hand, and to deter hostile forces on the other.

In the history that followed, whenever the world was in turmoil, the phenomenon of taking the Beijing view was also numerous. And with the view of Beijing, it is that people eat people. It can be said that the two are essentially the same thing.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, the separatist warlord Zhu Cang never brought military rations with his army, and every time he captured a place, he looted it, and he did not let go of even people. After being brought into the army to be steamed and pickled, it was made into dry food for the army.

During the Jingkang Rebellion in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a severe shortage of grain in the Jianghuai region, and human flesh was cheaper than pork and rice at that time. The armies of the north and the south all use human flesh as military food. All the human rations are called "two-legged sheep." The old and thin people are called "Rao Gang Huo", which means that steaming this kind of human flesh requires more fire to cook. Boys and girls are called "unenvious sheep", saying that this kind of human flesh is more delicious than mutton. A child's meat is called "rotten bones", which means that even meat and bones can be eaten!

Human flesh is eaten, discarded rotten corpses and bones are built into a large-scale Jingguan, and the corpses and bones are like mountains and starvation all over the wilderness, and there are many such scenes in history.

The strange Dao Liang Qichao said this sentence with sorrow and indignation: "Woohoo! The Chinese have been killing the people for a long time, the heavens have been killing, the people have been killed, the tyrants have been killed, the filthy officials have been killed, and the aliens have been killed. ”

Take the Beijing view, people eat people, there is no one on Hongquan Road, and there is no humanity in Chinese history.

It is said that black and white in the world will not be reversed, will those thousands of people who have been eaten in the folds of history think so?
