Chapter Ninety-Six: War Horses as Food

When I woke up, I saw that the stars in the sky were bright and the moon was there. The curtain is overwhelming, and it feels good to be exhausted, and to hand over the whole person to nature, there is no mind and no restraints, which may be what everyone yearns for.

Of course, if it weren't for the smell of horse manure, I would have just wanted to lie down and lie down until the sun rises.

I remembered, but I was pressed back by a hand. Then Luo Shicheng's face blocked my view of the stars. He seemed to be waiting for me to speak, but I didn't even have the strength to speak, so I didn't say it, but thought about my own thoughts.

The reason why I was so tired that I fainted was probably a side effect of the frequent movement of my soul in and out of my body. I didn't think I could enjoy this superpower and give nothing. More than 20 years of real life have convinced me that there is no such thing as a free lunch. In fact...... I'm not too worried that I'll be tired a lot, I'm worried about ...... I am a man in the prime of life, don't ruin the sexual happiness of the second half of my life because of a momentary pleasure.

"Dustless?"

I saw that there were more and more people watching me, so much so that the air around me began to get dirty, and I couldn't do it if I didn't get up. I couldn't hold it back, but I still talked to Luo Shicheng.

"He's treating the soldiers who are going berserk. Luo Shicheng had already stood up and looked at me a little like a corpse, "How do you know that there will be an accident in the barracks?"

Dustless knows this, I'm confused, at best it's an additive, dustless helper.

"Those soldiers were listless before, because they lost their souls. I briefly explained to him, "Then we found the souls of those soldiers and managed to release them." It's just that we don't know that the souls of the soldiers have been tampered with. ”

"What hands and feet?"

"Then I don't know, the guy who was taking care of the aftermath does. You can ask him. With that, I got up, pulled away the onlookers, and went outside to breathe.

"Are you hungry?"

Do you know how hurtful that is? I'm not hurt, and fainting there is not pretending to be dead. Luo Shicheng's redundant sentence doesn't mean that I am a rice bucket? Although I haven't eaten anything for two days, I won't faint alone in one night because of hunger and low blood sugar.

They don't understand what blood sugar is, is it okay for our family to have a family history of hypoglycemia? I can't explain it to them, and it's useless to explain it. The stomach is really not angry, and it is empty and screaming there.

"There's still some horse meat in the camp, so you can eat some. ”

I could not refuse, so two soldiers carried me to the place where they had set up a stove to eat. It's a luxury to be able to eat horse meat, even though it doesn't taste very good when stewed. The smell of a strong smell has become delicious in the face of hunger. My teeth are not very good, the horse has a lot of meat tendons, I can't chew it and I still stuff my teeth. There is really no way to eat horse meat, otherwise it will be tormenting both emotionally and tastefully.

When I was almost full, Wuchen also came. His teeth were much better than mine, and he would soon be able to eat a pound of meat.

"It's almost there," I don't know if I envy his good appetite or blame him for spoiling food, "and you don't fight a war and eat so much waste." ”

"I ...... Hungry. ”

Wuchen had a bitter face, wanting to quibble, but I glared back.

"Eat, eat, take care of enough. An old firehead came in and brought us soup, "There are many horses in the camp, and two hundred are killed in one day." ”

"What about the horse meat after eating?" I asked, "what else can I eat?"

No, there is one thing left to eat after eating horse meat. The Firehead Army was also sentimental, and I could tell that he was reluctant to kill those horses. No one is willing to do it, in the barracks, even if you are an infantryman.

"I'm afraid I'll have to eat human flesh. ”

Human flesh, yes, that's all that is left to eat. Wuchen listened, and he couldn't swallow the big mouthful of meat stuffed in his mouth, and he couldn't spit it out, so he had to pick up a bowl of soup and rush the meat in his mouth into his stomach with two mouthfuls.

"Don't be afraid, young man, this is not human flesh, it is horse meat. ”

No matter what the gang leader said, Wuchen would never eat half a bite anymore. It's not easy to spit out the contents of your stomach.

"Uncle, can I take some meat back?"

Before leaving, I made an unreasonable request to the gang leader.

"There's still family outside who haven't eaten for a long time, right?" the old man laughed, "Take it, take it." Take some more, though. Oh, by the way, there is still raw meat that has not been steamed outside, and my old man will also cut some for you to take away. The food in the army is poor, and those strong men are not picky, so the common people are different. How much more of a decent person like you. ”

Hey, let's be honest, how decent we are. However, take some raw meat back, the prefect's yamen should have complete materials and be able to make more delicious dishes. When it's time to go hungry, who is qualified to be picky.

"How good is this, let the officials know, and don't blame you. ”

"What is there to blame, you are the benefactors of our entire battalion. The old man's eyes filled with tears as he spoke, "You know that the men who join the army and fight now are all men from the city, and most of them are brothers, fathers and sons. You've saved their whole family. ”

We were ashamed in our hearts, and Wuchen was even more ashamed, so we quickly slipped away by ourselves. I said goodbye to the old man and went to chase Wuchen again.

"Are those soldiers alright?"

Wuchen nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield. It is estimated that there were hundreds of dead and wounded on this night.

"It's all my fault, I had to be more careful at that time, so I wouldn't have had this kind of thing. "Wuchen is still blaming himself, why didn't he blame himself when he ate horse meat just now?

I had no interest in comforting a gentleman, so I kicked him and said, "It's happened, and since it can't be avoided, you can go and make amends." ”

I mean let him find the real culprit and bring him to justice.

No, what is the law now......

When I walked back, it was already the middle of the night. The stars and the moon in the sky were gone. Sometimes cloudy days are so fast.

When I walked to a small alley, I heard intermittent cries coming from the courtyard of a house.

"They're all hungry and crying children. "Wuchen came to a word.

There is really such a possibility, the family is out of food, and the first to be hungry must be the children. I was just about to nod my head when I heard another childish scream coming from inside.

It's not hunger.

Wuchen reacted and went up and kicked the door open. The small courtyard didn't look like it was ten square meters. The light from the main house shone on the steps outside, and a bull's ear knife was particularly abrupt. A thin man squatted a little farther away from the door, where the candlelight could not be illuminated.

We broke into the house and saw a little girl, about ten years old, lying on the ground and already dying.

Maybe because of Gu Liuxian, I was furious all of a sudden, turned around and walked out of the house. He picked up the man and threw a punch in the face, knocking him several meters away.

That man was beaten by me and lay on the ground, motionless, pretending to be dead.

"Get up!" I yelled at him. Such a person should be cut with a thousand cuts.

Unexpectedly, the man not only did not get up, but lay on the ground and cried. Although the voice was also a little lacking, it sounded much more poignant than a child.

"Brother Mu...... Brother Mou. ”

Wuchen shouted at me twice before I turned around and went back to the house. By this time there was already an extra woman in the house. The woman was still holding a baby waiting to be fed in her arms, and a child of four or five years old in her hand. The knife wound on the little girl's body has been bandaged by Wuchen.

She didn't know whether she didn't dare to cry or didn't have the strength to cry, so she could only sob.

"You have suffered a thousand cuts, you dare to kill your own daughter!" the woman took the little girl in her arms, crying and scolding.

"We haven't had anything to eat for three days...... If it goes on like this...... "The man was already crying in the yard, he didn't want the neighbors to hear, "the war, hit his grandmother in the leg......"

The family of five was crying there, and they didn't dare to make a loud noise, and they had to suppress their feelings at this time.

Is this the tragedy of cannibalism? I met and stopped me, what if I couldn't touch it? Was this little girl really killed? I had heard before that in that era, when the poor were not good, they sold their sons and daughters. Here, where to sell? If it is sold, maybe the child will still be able to live, and it will be better. Now a tael of silver is not worth a tael of rice, so I can only eat my own children.

Who would do such a thing if they weren't cornered?

Or damn war.

I cut off half of the horse's flesh and left it for the family.

"How many people can you save with that bit of horse meat? When I got out of that house, Wuchen said to me on the road, "Maybe someone started eating people two days earlier." ”

"If you can save a family, it's a family. "I think of a story about a monk who said when he was carrying a stranded fish to the sea, "This one cares."

I'm going to have to get them something to eat. Suddenly, I felt as if I had been born to worry about such a big thing......
