Chapter 117: Man eats man
Maybe it's because of my Nine Yin Absolute Veins, there seems to be a natural sixth sense in my body, but this sixth sense is very subtle, a feeling that can't be explained.
Looking at the scene of Bai Rushuang cleaning up the old woman's things, I slapped myself on the forehead vigorously, thinking that maybe I was thinking too much.
So I went over and helped the old woman clean up.
Soon we were packed, and then the old woman pedaled the tricycle into a nearby alleyway, while Bai Rushuang and I drove behind her.
Soon, we came to a relatively old building area, which is one of the few undeveloped areas of the city, equivalent to the slum here, and most of the people living in it are some migrant workers who come to work in the city.
By the time we drove through the roadway, we couldn't go any further. So we had to pull our car aside.
The road ahead began to get muddy, and it happened to be uphill, and the old woman was struggling to pedal three wheels, and Bai Rushuang and I hurriedly stepped forward to help.
When we came to the old woman's house, she looked very tired. And she suffers from asthma, and she is gasping for breath at any time, as if she will be out of breath at any moment.
Seeing her like this, I felt a little uncomfortable and said mother-in-law. Have you been like this all these years? What about your family.
When the old woman heard this, she sighed and said that she was dead, and she died of starvation in the great famine of that year.
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness appeared on the old woman's face. It seems that I have a lot of sad things in mind.
I didn't ask too much, knowing that she was a poor person, so I moved the contents of the car with the old woman to the house, which was very dilapidated and dim. Even with the old fifteen-watt electric light turned on, it was still dim.
After entering, the old woman began to get busy, she asked us to sit here for a while, and she went to the kitchen to make soup and rice rolls.
I sat on the table of the Eight Immortals in this room, and I always felt an indescribable discomfort all over my body, and when I looked around, I always felt a little creepy.
As the saying goes, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, I subconsciously opened the yin and yang eyes and glanced around, but I didn't find anything wrong, I think I also thought too much, or maybe I have experienced too many weird and bizarre things in these times, so my nerves can't help but become a little big.
Soon, there was a pungent aroma from the kitchen. It makes people feel hungry in their stomachs, and they swallow saliva in a big gulp.
About ten minutes later, the old woman came out of the kitchen with two large bowls of rice rolls, white as frost as usual, and ate a lot at that time.
Seeing that we were so happy to eat, the old woman stood aside and looked at us with a smile, and said girl, eat slowly, don't be hot, you came to your mother-in-law's house today, you can eat as much as you want, and you can do enough.
Bai Rushuang was very happy when she heard it, and said Mother-in-law, you are so good.
The old woman continued to laugh, as if she remembered something, and said, "Your generation is really good, you must know that our generation can't eat such good things!" ”
I also know that there was a time when it was very dark more than forty years ago.
The old woman said that in those days, our country encountered an unprecedented famine, and many people starved to death, and even on the road, you could see people starving to death everywhere.
And the old woman's family had a total of seven people, except for her, all the others were starved to death in that era.
At this, a trace of sadness appeared in the old woman's eyes, and then she walked towards the kitchen, and told us about the events of that time.
Many people may have heard of the extent of the famine in those days, not to mention eating rice, even the wild vegetables and tree roots in the mountains were dug up and eaten.
I was stunned for a moment and said mother-in-law. I heard my grandfather say that in those days, there were still people who ate yellow mud, put the yellow mud on the hot pan and fry it, and sprinkled a few salts on it when it was cooked, and it tasted like eating pancakes, which could satisfy hunger.
At this time, the old woman had returned to the kitchen, and while she was boiling the soup pot in the kitchen, she said, "Yes, your grandfather is right, there were many people who ate yellow mud at that time. But that thing is delicious when eaten, but after eating, there will be problems, the yellow mud in the stomach can not be digested, so it can not be pulled out of the stomach, many people eat this yellow mud to die! ”
Heard the old woman say this. I suddenly felt a little creepy, and said Mother-in-law, it is not easy for people who can survive that era.
The old woman sighed, and said that it was not easy, but young man, do you know that the most terrible thing in those days was not eating yellow mud, but eating something else, and wondering what it was?
I took a few bites of the rice rolls in the bowl and said I didn't know. My grandfather told me at the time that he was eating yellow mud, and I don't know what other things you said about my mother-in-law.
"Corpses!"
As soon as my mother-in-law said this, I almost squirted out of my mouth with a mouthful of rice rolls, I thought I heard it wrong, so I asked again in order to confirm: "Mother-in-law, what do you say to eat?" ”
There was a sudden silence in the kitchen, and then the mother-in-law's voice came again: "Corpse, corpse of a dead man!" Hey, hey, hey..."
A strange laugh suddenly came out of the kitchen, and I immediately felt a tingling in my scalp, and the old woman in the kitchen was still laughing and saying: "Don't be surprised, young man, in those days, people were also meat when they died, and when that person was very hungry, he really did everything, you have not heard of it." In ancient times, in order to satisfy hunger, some people exchanged their children with others, and then cooked them to eat? ”
The more I listened, the more wrong I felt, and hurriedly said Mother-in-law, don't talk about it, we eat rice rolls, it sounds weird and uncomfortable.
But my mother-in-law ignored me, saying that there was a great famine, and there was no rain in the sky for several months, and people died on the side of the road. It rots in a few days, and if you eat that kind of meat, you will be poisoned quickly, so if you want to eat people, you have to carry the body back to slaughter as soon as possible, preferably on the first day after death. Then the meat is cut into pieces, some are salted with salt, and some are hung on the stew with iron hooks to smoke, so that the meat will not rot and the taste will be very good when eaten.
Of course. This is not the best way to do it, the best human flesh is certainly not dead human flesh, but living human flesh, and you wander the road and follow those hungry and dying people with a knife. When they are about to starve to death, stab them in the back of the neck, so that their meat will be better and the food will be more delicious.
Hearing this, I only felt a panic in my heart, although the smell of soup was still coming from the kitchen, but when I smelled this fragrance again, I felt so disgusted.
I pressed down on the white frost she was still eating, and motioned for her to stop.
Bai Rushuang is like this, an out-and-out foodie, as long as he is eating, except for taste, the other five senses are completely closed, and he didn't hear the conversation I just had with the old woman.
She looked at me a little angrily and said, Muyu, what are you doing?
"Don't eat it!" I was in a state of panic, unsure of what the old woman meant by that.
So I stood up for the first time, and then walked cautiously towards the kitchen, the old woman was still boiling the soup base there, and kept telling me how to make this human flesh delicious, and when I heard her say that especially human flesh is used to make soup, and the large intestine will be more delicious when used to make rice rolls, the cold hairs on my whole body stand upside down.
By this point, I had reached the kitchen door. When I saw the scene in front of me, the whole scalp exploded directly.
In the dimly lit kitchen, there is a rope hanging from the beam, and there are many pieces of meat hanging from the rope, and you can't see anything at first glance, but if you look closely, you will see that there are human arms and thighs mixed in those pieces of meat.
This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that above the boiling platform, at this time there are three sallow human heads hanging from the sallow one, swinging around under the blowing of the yin wind!
