"If the man you see is the man I think of...... For what?" Ryuhime frowned tightly.

The tattered boy shook his feet and said, "Have you ever played with a kaleidoscope?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, "Kaleidoscope? Of course, I have one in my room, and it comes in all kinds of shapes and colors, and it looks beautiful." ”

"No, no, no. Long Chang shook his fingers, "There are not such high-end toys in the Fenjia, I'm talking about another kaleidoscope." Catch a bunch of scorpions, vipers, spiders, toads, centipedes, and geckos, and throw them into a clay pot with transparent and breathable pig gills on the jar to clearly see the activities of these little insects inside. ”

"And then, they're going to fight, they're going to eat each other?" Ryuhime wondered.

"It's not that simple. The boy leaned closer in high spirits, looking at the girl beside him with dilated pupils and dull eyes like a dead man, "These little insects are very hungry, but if they are thrown into the jar, they will each hide in a corner and remain motionless, and they will not change for ten days and half a month." What's the meaning of that? The fun part of the kaleidoscope is here, as long as you stretch a branch into the small hole of the pig membrane, and gently poke a small insect to death, the insect next to it will come to life at once, it may be to feel the smell of the insect when it dies or some other reason, in short, there will be a war in the kaleidoscope, all kinds of insects bite and bite, the weak are torn apart and eaten, and a fight will take two whole days, very interesting! After two days, the surviving bugs may look like three tenths of the time, and they will calm down and keep their distances, at which point they will only need to poke one more bug to death, and the worms will continue to fight until there are a few victors left. I know there's a place under the southeast wall where you can dig up big, ferocious worms, but you can't go over there over there, or we'll make the best kaleidoscope of things together......"

Long Ji was stunned: "So, what will happen to the bug that wins the war in the end?"

Long Chang replied: "The rule of making a kaleidoscope is to fill it with water at the end to kill the remaining insects, the surviving insects will become very violent, and they will bite anyone, even more so if they are poisonous, people often accidentally get killed by such insects." I heard that in ancient times, someone used a kaleidoscope to refine poisonous insects, which could control insects as weapons, but now no one will use this spell. However, there is another thing called 'Tongding Kaleidoscope', which is to use the victor insects in the kaleidoscope to fight each other, and at this time there will be special people to buy the victor worms, the most expensive one, a golden-clawed mantis was sold for a sky-high price of fifteen yuan, which is enough to exchange for white rice for a whole year!"

"You mean...... This courtyard is a kaleidoscope??Someone is going to keep killing our brothers and sisters and making us fight each other?" Ryuhime opened her mouth wide in shock.

The boy spread out his hands: "I didn't say that, I don't even know the words, how do I know what Western tricks your clan is doing! Why don't I tell you the secret of playing the kaleidoscope, when to kill the insects to cause a struggle is very particular, and in the end the quality of the winner insect has a great relationship with this technique, I will not say these words to ordinary people! When you cause a fight for the first time, you poke the weakest insect to death first, in order to let other insects smell this smell." ”

Long Yi was hung on the flagpole and swayed in the wind, and the small corpse resembled a treacherous humanoid flag.

"When the insects fought for a while, there were many dead and wounded, and the momentum subsided a little, at this time there will be several pairs of insects facing each other, and no one dares to attack first, and they are afraid that they will be bitten by the other party as soon as they move away, and they will stare at each other dryly. Choosing such a pair of bugs should not be too strong, which would affect the quality of the winner bugs, and it should not be too weak, otherwise it would have no effect. The branch stabbed them to death...... Bang!" Long Chang made an explosive gesture and laughed: "Let's fight again! I can't tell what the reason is, but this time they will fight very fiercely!"

The two boys who used the "Dragon Summoner" and the "Muscle Arrow" fell to death in the courtyard, and the two pools of blood merged into one and could not be separated.

"After a big battle, the rest of the bugs are very powerful, and they all know that the other party is not an idle person, so it is time to play some tricks. The boy gestured and said, "First reach into the branch and poke a very strong insect to death, sneak its body into four or five pieces, and throw it into the sphere of influence of other insects, and then the final battle will break out, until the winner worm appears." ”

After a long time, Long Ji hesitated and said, "I don't understand...... Are we just worms in a kaleidoscope? Can we kill living people just to stimulate our infighting? We are all children of the clan family, and we have the blood of the Long family in our bodies, how can our fathers, patriarchs, and elders do this to us?"

Long Chang held his hands on the wall and looked at the moon, and suddenly there was a bone chirping sound in his abdomen, he touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and his skin peeled off his face showed a look of shame: "That, I said, is there anything to eat...... This body is really troublesome, it is obviously a dead person, but it has to eat like a living person, and its appetite is not small......"

The girl fumbled into her pocket and took out half of a honey cake from her pocket, which she had secretly hidden at dinner to-night to eat after the evening class, but forgot about it, "Well, if you don't dislike it." She handed it over with a white handkerchief on the pastry.

"Is it okay? If I eat it, will you go hungry?" The thirst for food made the boy immediately reach out his hand, but his fingers paused in the air, and Long Chang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, staring at the half of the golden, fluffy, and incomparably delicate in the moonlight.

"I'm full, you eat. Ryuhime leaned her palm closer.

"I haven't eaten for four days, and I can bear it. The boy swallowed again, "That'...... What is this thing called? It looks delicious. ”

Her long eyelashes twitched, "Four days?" Long Ji's eyes widened, "Then why do you still have the strength to run around? This is called a cake, eat it quickly!"

"Then I'll eat it. Long Changtiantian's chapped lips stretched out his hand, "You don't regret it?"

The girl said angrily: "It's just a piece of cake, why are you so troublesome, eat it quickly!"

"Someday I'll give it back to you!" the boy finally grabbed the honey cake, carefully picked up the soft and sweet food with two fingers, held back the dripping saliva, gently broke the cake into two pieces, took out a rag from his arms, wrapped half of the cake in his arms and hid it in his arms, and then swallowed the other half with a whin, and cleaned the crumbs on the white handkerchief. Without seeing any chewing movements, half of the cake disappeared into his throat, Long Chang lowered his head and sniffed carefully at the place where the debris might have fallen on the wall, picked up the suspicious small crumbs and threw them into his mouth, and finally let out a long breath, his face glowed brightly, and the whole person was extremely satisfied from the inside out.

"That fruit...... This fruit ...... Give it back to the female ......" Long Chang said something indistinctly, handed over the white handkerchief, Long Ji glanced at the saliva-stained handkerchief, and smiled bitterly: "No need, you can keep it." Why are you talking so indistinctly?"

"She...... I can't help swallowing it...... If you stay here at the base of your tongue for a while, you will be able to feel the taste for a while, and this is the science of eating!" Finally, with a grunt and swallowing the food, the boy Tiantian lips and smiled happily, "This thing called a cake is really the best food in the world! When I have money in the future, I will live in a bed made of pastries, covered with a quilt made of cakes, and use cakes as pillows...... No, I'm going to build a castle made of pastries!"

Ryuhime pointed to his neck, "There's a little leak here." ”

"Hell, how can you waste food!" the tattered boy looked down and saw that part of the skin in the neck socket had ulcerated a small hole, and some pastry crumbs mixed with saliva had leaked out of it, and he immediately screamed in pain, scraped off the paste with his index finger and put it in his mouth, and tasted it loudly.

Ryuhime couldn't help but smile, "What kind of food do you usually eat over there, don't you have this kind of honey cake?"

Long Chang was amused when he heard this: "What is eaten is what is eaten, what is the name? Wild beasts, insects, tree bark, millet, sorghum, peas, barley with raw insects, brown rice mixed with mud, vegetable balls made of leaves and bran, how can we not eat except people? ”

"I heard that your family also has rations, just like I have ten liters of five buckets of polished rice, one pound of sesame oil, and five pounds of refined meat every month, every Long family, even the children of the split family should have this kind of monthly routine. Long Ji said in amazement.

When the boy heard this, he sighed softly, but there was still a smile on his face full of care: "According to what you said, everyone has something to eat, and the division of the family will become a paradise! In fact, there are only a few of the few who can receive the monthly order, and there are only a few thousand people who have registered and made the register, do you know how many people are now crowded in those dark alleys? What do you want to eat without leaves, insects, and bran?" I don't mind eating people, but I've heard that eating people can get sick, and what ingredients in the blood are harmful, and it is easy to become 'vicious' after eating human flesh......

"Does the clan know all this? I mean, the elders will ...... them," Long Ji was shocked.

Long Chang snorted, looking very disdainful: "You know a fart! They don't want to know at all, what does the life or death of the split family have to do with these big shots? As long as the dragon's spine and the outer wall are constantly heightened, so that the split family can't run out, who cares what you eat?"

The girl was silent. After a while, she finally spoke: "Who is that half cake to be eaten, parents or brothers?"

"I don't have any parents or brothers. The tattered boy said, "That's something that only your clan has." Speaking of which, I'm unlucky, I picked up a little guy a few days ago, and I can't feed it without bringing something!"
