Chapter 339: Have You Ever Tasted Meat?
Yin Wa's temporary conclusion made everyone incredulous.
On the other hand, the number of chromosomes of Sakata Kintoki and Minamoto Yorimitsu is also 23, which is different from the 27 chromosomes of this world.
"Then look at this." Levi took out the test tube that his little niece had given him, and it contained the flesh and blood of the purple snake.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
But after Yin Wa analyzed for a while, she just said: "This sample is no different from Yuan Laiguang's sample, it's just that there are more genes belonging to demons." ”
"That's right." Levi understood, but he continued to think of strange creatures.
Some of the weirdness has no flesh at all, like inorganic matter or plants glued together, but some of the weirdness is flesh and blood, and Levi wondered if he needed to find a weird with flesh and blood and study it.
He had a feeling that if he could study the commonality of weird genes, he might discover the biggest secret in the world.
Regarding the weirdness, no one knows their origin, but what Levi knows is that this kind of thing was deliberately released to the entire island by conspirators, and Levi's own cells can create weirdness, so the weirdness that is now spread throughout the reed plains could be other outer gods?
However, after staying with Yin Wa for a while, Li Wei settled Sakata Kintoki and Minamoto Yorimitsu.
Then he left Arashiyama alone and returned to Fujiwara Mansion that night.
Regarding Minamoto Yoriko and Sakata Kim, he is still very confused in his mind for the time being, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, but everything will be left to chance, and he will talk about it when the relationship really develops to that point.
With this in mind, he strolled through the streets of Kyoto.
Even in this weather, you can see rats coming out of the snow and running from house to house.
Levi stopped and began to murmur slowly, "Is there more food because of the abundance of food?" There are a lot of rats all over Kyoto, and you may need to find a way to clean them up. ”
Rats carry a large number of germs, and there has even been plague, a terrible plague that can almost exterminate human beings.
This will also be the source of the plague, Levi thought about it, and when the war is over, he will start organizing a large-scale extermination of rats.
But that was also to wait for the end of the war.
Thinking so, he slowly walked back home, where Spider and Chihime were nestled in front of the fireplace, baking potatoes, and said, "Come home so late today?" ”
"Well, something happened...... Is the little niece back? Levi quickly changed the subject.
"She just arrived, and I thought she was back with you."
"Oh."
Levi didn't pay much attention to it, but squatted down by the fireplace and began to add charcoal to it.
The fire shone on his face, and he tried to open his mouth several times, but he swallowed it back.
After a long time, Li Wei said: "Spider, do you remember Yuan Laiguang? ”
"Huh? Who? The ghost-seeking shogun in the rakugo story? The spider was a little puzzled, of course she knew the name, but when she said she knew, she didn't have any impression.
"What about the birds?"
"I know this, and I played with it when I was a kid." Spider still remembers, but she can't remember the people of the ghost team, after all, she didn't get along much with the people of the ghost team even when she was a child, but Gu Xuanniao was very impressed with her relationship.
Levi didn't know how to continue for a moment.
But the spider seemed to come to the spirit: "Has Gu Won Bird come to Kyoto?" Where, where? ”
"No, the bird is already dead, and he died in childbirth when he gave birth." Levi let out a long sigh, and when Yuan Laiguang told him the news, even Levi couldn't believe it.
Gu Won Bird, a demon who would actually die because of dystocia, then it only means one thing, at that time, only one person could be saved, either to save the child, or to save his own life, and the character of Yi Gu Bird is obviously to choose to keep the child.
"That's right......" The spider was silent for a moment, she seemed to be very uncomfortable wrapped around the quilt on her body, staring at the fireplace and not knowing what she was thinking, and then said, "What about her child?" How's it going? ”
"I also died, I died more than ten years ago because I was hunted down by the people of the former Fujiwara family, and I was seriously injured and finally died after giving birth to an heir." Levi continued.
Now the whole room was even more silent, and the spider had no longer fiddled with the fish that was roasting by the fireplace, but showed a very sad expression.
And when it comes to the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Chihime also covered her mouth, she also knows that the Fujiwara family must be able to do this kind of thing, the previous Fujiwara family is like this, everything is just for the family, and it won't care about anyone else.
She thought, wanting to apologize later.
"How is that granddaughter doing now?" The spider continued to ask.
"Her name is Fujiwara Miko, and she is now farming for us, in fact, I didn't expect that that little girl to be the descendant of Gu Won Bird."
"Huh?" Chihime Fujiwara and Spider both had expressions of disbelief on their faces for a moment.
……
The army of the Genji shogunate was still marching towards Kyoto across the wind and snow.
Behind him, the corpses were already filled with more than a dozen carts, and the militiamen walking in front of them all had large and small chilblains, and some of their feet had swollen to the size of sweet potatoes, and even lost consciousness, but they could only grit their teeth and move forward.
If you stop, what awaits you is torture and killed.
In just two days, there were only 48,000 people left in the 50,000-strong team that left the city, and the remaining people basically lost hope and just walked numbly in the snow.
"Kyoto ahead! All we have to do is enter Kyoto and we have everything, food, meat, women, houses, farmland, everything! The samurai of the shogunate shouted loudly.
Hearing this shout, these numb militiamen began to have a little spirit, and began to fantasize about what they would grab after the capture of Kyoto.
Inside the most ornate ox cart, a geisha with heavy makeup that seemed to have been flattened was cleared out by the samurai, and Minamoto stared at the slow march with displeasure and asked, "At this rate, how long will it take us to reach Kyoto?" ”
"It will take at least seven days, and the further back you go, the worse the physical strength of these mud will become, maybe even longer." Samurai said.
"Why does it take so long for a ninja to be able to get to the foot of this bunch of waste in a day!" He roared directly, even though Gen Yorito, who was a general, knew how the footsteps of this group of militia could be compared to ninjas, he just wanted to find an excuse to vent.
"Give me an order, give them a good meal today, and start tomorrow, and give me a full and rapid march, and be sure to march within five days...... No, it's in four days! Yuan Laichao said, his eyes full of tyranny.
Because he didn't have many geisha with him, and he lost the suppression of the power of the big snake in his body by those rotten meats, he was afraid that he might be swallowed and assimilated by the big snake's vertebrae before long.
Kyoto can't be conquered in a day or two, so what he needs is to keep his body up until he breaks through Kyoto.
"Hayin." The samurai retreated.
They marched again for a few more hours, and it was not until it was completely dark that they began to set up camp and make fires for cooking.
The men began to prepare the meal, originally put a bag of millet, and then add 30 bags of snow to boil it into a thin porridge that was more than soup, and two bowls per person were done.
But today there is an order from above to give them a little work, and tomorrow they will march in a hurry.
So this time, I put one bag of millet and six bags of snow at the same time, so that the porridge cooked is more viscous and can be eaten full.
Not only that, but the samurai also carried the corpse of a child to the man, and said coldly, "This is also finely chopped into the meat and added to it, and they are ...... to open the meat."
"This ......" The gang only felt indescribable nausea and chill for a moment, and looked at the corpses on the ground and did not dare to speak.
"This is General Yuan's order, you just need to do it, if you don't want to, then kill you and add your flesh to it." The samurai looked at the man coldly and began to put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
"We do it, we do it right away......"
The samurai shook the hem of his shirt and said, "Stew the meat until they don't know what it is, and when they ask, they say it's a deer they have caught on the road." ”
After a while, smoke rose up, and the resting sergeants actually asked about the smell of meat.
"Aha, the thick porridge is coming......" Bowls of porridge began to be distributed to everyone, and the strong aroma of meat made the already tortured militiamen almost cry.
"This ...... This ...... This is the meat bar, this is the meat bar......" Someone saw the diced shredded meat in the bowl, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling, as if he was about to cry.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"Venison, General Yuan is kind-hearted, he didn't eat a deer himself, but said to add some oil and water to you, why don't you say thank you General Yuan?"
"Thank you, General Yuan!" Everyone immediately feasted, completely ignoring the hot porridge, for many people, this is the best meal in their lives.
"So hurry up and go to Kyoto, as long as you break through Kyoto, let alone porridge with some meat, you can eat meat for a while, and there are countless women." A samurai said.
When they tasted the meat, they immediately began to believe a little bit in the flatbread drawn by Minamoto Yorito, and began to fantasize about what it would be like if they could really eat meat in a big gulp.
Before they knew it, they began to feel an indescribable desire for that Kyoto, as long as they went to that place, as long as they came there......
Because of the ban on eating meat, it was impossible for commoners to taste meat in their lifetimes, and even if it was a hunter, the meat they caught had to be handed over to the shogunate.
Except during the war, they could not taste the meat.
"From now on, the food will be the same as today, but it will cheer me up and give me the fastest way to Kyoto, and I will have to walk twice as much tomorrow as I do today, do you understand?" The samurai yelled at Xie Qun's militia.
"So there's meat tomorrow morning and afternoon?" Someone asked.
"Yes."
Everyone actually felt a trace of happiness in the cradle of suffering, as long as they could eat meat tomorrow, it seemed that they could still get by, and they would be able to get to Kyoto in four days, and then they would be able to rob women?
Even those who originally wanted to run away began to extinguish such thoughts at this time, after all, their requirements were very simple, as long as they could live, no matter what ugly appearance they were.
It was in this fantasy time that the group began to fall asleep one by one.
The tent that had been set up after clearing the snow on the ground was still very cold to sleep in, but they felt hopeful.
As long as you go to Kyoto, as long as you can get to that place......
……
The next morning, there was no snow on the day, but the snow on the ground showed no signs of melting, but instead froze a thick layer of ice on top of the snow.
Early in the morning, Levi received a report that someone had escaped from the prison last night, and immediately felt that these jailers were rice buckets, and Fujiwara Chihime also went to the Daimyo's Mansion early to start official business because of this incident.
Even if the people in the death row in Kyoto are imprisoned with spiritual powers, but after such a level of beating, plus the jailers also have spiritual powers, they don't know anything if all the condemned prisoners run away, right?
In this way, there are only two possibilities, one is that those jailers are really pure rice buckets, the kind that will eat rice expensive if they stay in the world, and the second is that there are actually other forces that are helping those condemned prisoners escape from prison.
Could it be the family of Kyoto?
Levi thought about it, walked out of the door, walked out of the courtyard to the side courtyard and knocked on Yun Ji's door.
"Little niece, do you still need to go to Yin Wa today?" Li Wei held a homemade thermos cup in his hand, and in it was wolfberry tea that was still being heated.
"Go, I still have a lot to learn." Yun Ji pushed the door open, holding a scroll in her hand and constantly writing down something, as if it was about biological conjecture and confusion.
Levi took a look inside the room, still lit a candle, she seemed to have the advantage of not sleeping all night, not knowing what she was studying.
Levi was going to Sakata Kintoki today to discuss with Minamoto Yorimitsu about the arrangements of the samurai, and by the way, if Yun Ji wanted to go to Arashiyama, he would also take her there.
In this way, the two slowly traveled to Arashiyama in the ox cart, and after sending the little niece to Yin Wa, Levi found Sakata Kintoki and Minamoto Yorimitsu.
"Good morning, did you eat breakfast today?" Levi then asked.
Arashiyama Taisha is still the base of Levi's ninjas, and it is also an existence disguised as a shrine, and most of the witch goddesses in it will reveal tight ninja suits and kunai shuriken when they take off their clothes.
However, in addition to the ninja base and the shrine of the Eight Classics, there is also an industrial production site, where almost all craftsmen in Kyoto carry out the most basic forging and smelting under the command of Yin Wa, and these materials will later become the raw materials for Yin Wa's production and processing.
"Good morning."
