Among the victims, a small figure is somewhat special.

In this world, there are very few orphans who can survive.

Not to mention surviving the famine!

Among the people who couldn't escape, Su Mu was the only child who had no relatives and no reason.

It's a little incredible that he's been able to hold on until now.

But it's also close to the limit!

The last time Su Mu ate was 4 days ago.

There are people who are hungrier than him, but he is a child after all.

After 4 days of rice not entering, Su Mu only felt dizzy and his limbs were weak.

If he doesn't eat again, he'll only be able to last another day at most.

Death is looming!

"Are you going to be starved to death like this?"

Su Mu was unwilling, but helpless.

He is just a dead leaf in the famine, ready to be swallowed up by the waves that come at any moment.

……

Night is beginning to fall.

Su Mu lay weakly beside a tree stump, and his consciousness began to fog.

I don't know if I'm going to fall asleep or faint.

Just as Su Mu was staring, a figure sneakily walked towards him.

"Su boy, Su boy, wake up!"

Although he had been hungry for a long time, the skeleton of this figure was still tall.

It can be seen that this person was also a strong man.

"Who? Uncle Li? Can I help you? ”

Su Mu glanced at the person and immediately recognized this person.

Li Tiezhu, a blacksmith from the same village as Su Mu.

His son Li Lei and Su Mu are the same age, and the two have a good relationship.

The most important thing is that in the three years after the death of his parents, half of Su Mu's food was given by Li Tiezhu.

With this kindness, Su Mu is still relatively close to Li Tiezhu.

Li Tiezhu looked around vigilantly, and only after finding that no one was paying attention to them did he whisper to Su Mu:

"Su boy, I have something to eat, you come with me. Don't make a noise! ”

Hearing this, Su Mu's eyes lit up.

The little strength that was left burst out of his body, and he got up and followed behind Li Tiezhu.

……

Under the cover of night, the two stepped out of the crowd and walked through a dead wood forest into the distance.

"Uncle Li, what did you find to eat?"

When he heard that there was food before, Su Mu, who was extremely hungry, didn't think much about it for a while.

Now calming down, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"It's a deer, I hunted a deer."

Li Tiezhu said casually, glancing sideways at Su Mu from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would fall behind.

"Deer? Uncle Li, do you still hunt? But with no bow and arrows, and no traps, how did you get a deer? ”

Su Mu's breath stagnated, and he felt more and more wrong!

After the famine, the animals that were easy to hunt and catch were long gone.

The rest of the brutes are either "hunters" or goblins.

Li Tiezhu is a blacksmith who catches a wild deer with his bare hands?

What kind of joke is this!

"Hehe, luck, luck."

Seeing that Li Tiezhu didn't plan to explain too much, Su Mu's heart sank to the bottom.

He glanced up at Li Tiezhu.

I saw that this person's cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and a pair of green eyes were staring at him.

Shaped like a ghost!

What's even more terrifying is that he has a strange look of ferocity and madness, which is not like what a human can have.

Walking here, Li Tiezhu no longer intends to hide it.

Fierce face!

……

This scene made Su Mu secretly say bad.

He took a few deep breaths, and his mind turned to pay attention.

Su Mu pretended to be okay and asked Li Tiezhu:

"By the way, Uncle Li, why didn't you see the stone?"

Stone is Li Lei's nickname.

If it weren't for Su Mu's proposal, his name would probably be Li Shishi.

"Stones, eat, eat."

"If you see the ruined temple in front of you, he'll be waiting for you inside."

Li Tiezhu pointed to a ruined temple two or three hundred meters ahead, and his voice became gloomy.

His malice has gushed out!

Su Mu pretended not to notice, lowered his head and sighed, and said:

"If only my aunt were still here, with this deer, she wouldn't starve to death."

Li Tiezhu's wife left the only little food left for her husband and son, and her health has not been very good.

Not long after fleeing, he died of hunger and cold.

Hearing this, Li Tiezhu's eyes froze, and his hideous and weird expression revealed a bit of guilt and pain.

But before he could think about it, Su Mu suddenly pointed to his side and shouted in horror:

"Auntie! Auntie stands by your side! ”

"What?!"

Li Tiezhu was taken aback by Su Mu's shouting.

His face changed drastically, and he quickly turned his head to look.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Mu ran wildly and plunged into the dead woods.

There is a problem with this Li Tiezhu, and you must not go to the broken temple with him!

"Stinky boy, dare to fool me!"

Li Tiezhu, who didn't see anything, reacted immediately.

He cursed and hurriedly chased after him.

Su Mu relied on his small size and dodged left and right in the dead wood forest, trying to shake off Li Tiezhu.

But after all, he was only 8 years old, and he had been hungry for three or four days, so how could he have much strength?

Although he tried his best, after running for half an hour, Su Mu was still caught by Li Tiezhu.

"Stinky boy, look where you're running this time!"

Li Tiezhu's rough hands are like iron tongs.

One stuck Su Mu's neck, and the other cut his hands behind his back.

Su Mu was suppressed and couldn't move, like a chicken, and was carried by Li Tiezhu towards the ruined temple not far away.

Along the way, no matter what Su Mu said, Li Tiezhu no longer cared.

This made Su Mu a little desperate.

……

After approaching the ruined temple, Su Mu smelled a faint smell of meat.

The smell of meat made his saliva secrete wildly, and his hunger increased exponentially.

But Su Mu had already vaguely guessed what kind of meat it was.

A chill spread throughout his body!

The intense feeling of nausea made him want to gag, but there was nothing in his stomach to vomit but retch.

Li Tiezhu didn't care what Su Mu thought, and walked quickly into the broken temple with him.

The temple is small, with only a half-human-tall earthen statue sitting in the middle, flickering in the moonlight.

This statue is a little badly damaged, and it is no longer clear which god or Buddha it is.

There were four men crowded in the small place.

There is a large vat in the middle, with a fire underneath, and soup boiling in it.

As the soup tumbled, many bones could be seen floating and floating.

The flesh on it had been gnawed clean, but it was still reluctant to throw it away.

It is estimated that the bones will be cracked open and the marrow inside will be eaten.

Although it was only a few tumbling moments.

But Su Mu could see it clearly, these were not beast bones at all!

Stones, indeed eaten......
