Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Lively Spring Lantern Festival
What is the most important thing in the world?
Cannibalism is the most important thing!
The man-eating beast is already hungry. The beast can't wait to eat people, to eat more.
He's had enough of being weak, so he's even more desperate to eat people.
Only cannibalism can make him stronger.
Spring Lantern Festival, a lively festival.
So does that mean there are plenty of hunting opportunities? Yes!
............
Spring Lantern Festival, a special festival in Liucheng and its vicinity.
It is said to commemorate a love story, the sad story of a monk who fell in love with a mortal woman.
Of course, He Shang doesn't believe in the story itself.
This kind of story can only deceive three-year-olds. What a foolish and false story about the love affair between a monk and a mortal.
However, no matter how false the story is, it will not disturb the lively scene of the Spring Lantern Festival.
There's not much to say about the daytime phase of the Spring Lantern Festival, and the real highlight is the period after nightfall.
Within the black walls, the streets are bustling with activity. Next to the hard stone brick pavement, there are many roadside stalls here.
Sugar man stalls, fruit stalls, baked cake stalls and many miscellaneous stalls.
The shadow puppet show surrounds a large group of children and adults, and the broken boulders on the vaudeville show attract a lot of copper coins.
Food and vaudeville theater, this is the folk way of the Spring Lantern Festival.
This is not as good as the poetry of the talented and beautiful people in the inner city area, but it is more down-to-earth and more lively.
On the stone pavement, many adults bring their children, and many couples come to have a tryst.
After all, this is the Spring Lantern Festival, a lively and happy festival.
He Shang walked on the street, alone, looking very prominent and lonely. He is surrounded by couples or parents, which can further set off his loneliness.
But he himself does not feel lonely, because he has not come to the festival himself.
A lively festival with a lot of unsuspecting prey. The man-eating beast walked the streets, looking at everything around him.
Big and small, male and female, look defenseless. What a great holiday!
He was thinking about it, planning a hunt plan for tonight.
Hungry! Really hungry!
Red lanterns hung on the side of the street, and the light of the lanterns emanated, but they were caught by the black eyes of the beasts.
The black pupils looked at everything around him, these defenseless prey, it seemed that they were destined to eat well tonight.
Hungry! The feeling from the depths of the body was so intense!
Hunger, a very strong feeling.
He Shang has been tormented by this feeling for the past few days, tormented all the time. This feeling is not the hunger in the belly, but the hunger that floods all over the body.
His body was hungry! This is not a hunger that can be compensated for by eating white rice.
In the past two days, he has also lost a lot of anger, and finally began to deal with He Shang.
According to the last word, this kind of hunger is normal. Because He Shang was already at the threshold of the Qi cultivation stage, he was only one foot away from the door.
Man-eating beasts are so powerful that they can only be stacked with the flesh and blood of their prey.
This kind of hunger made He Shang almost crazy! Because of this, he even hunted in advance, sneaking into a house at night and devouring a family of four, only to slightly alleviate this feeling of hunger.
He was hungry because he was about to enter the Qi training stage.
He was hungry, so hunger forced He Shang to go hunting.
Cannibalism!
He Shang walked on the street, and the hunger pang appeared fiercely.
However, he didn't have a plan for today's hunt, and he couldn't take risks to hunt at will.
Man-eating beasts roam the streets, hungry in their bellies. He was surrounded by prey, but he didn't have a good hunting plan.
It's really annoying!
He Shang stopped, he turned around and saw a restaurant.
He hadn't figured out his plans for tonight's hunt yet, so he had better find a place to rest his breath first.
You must know that when you are full of food and drink, the hunger in your body will be reduced a little.
Although the indicator does not cure the root cause, it is also a good method.
The red lantern on the restaurant was shining and leaking at the entrance of the restaurant. Guests come and go, those who are full of food and drink, and those who are not full of food and drink, are all illuminated by the lantern light.
This restaurant is doing a brisk business, perhaps because of the Spring Lantern Festival.
He Shang pondered for a moment and made up his mind. strode into the prosperous restaurant, and under the guidance of the shopkeeper who finally found time, he found a window table on the second floor and sat down.
Hungry, hungry!
Fortunately, the chef of this restaurant was quick and brought the food quickly, which didn't make He Shang wait too long.
After a full meal, He Shang poured himself another cup of tea.
The tea was very good, and He Shang swallowed the tea leaves as well. This is his usual way of eating tea.
Eat a full meal and drink enough tea.
He Shang looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, thinking about his hunting plan for tonight.
"What do you think?"
(I'm not your wet nurse.) Why am I proposing so much to you? )
Well, it seems that a certain demon pupil has not completely deflated.
Cannibalism, cannibalism, so how do you eat people?
He Shang pondered, and he began to plan this hunting plan.
Tonight, he made up his mind to devour ten people. But ten people are not stupid pigs, and they are not so easy to devour.
You have to find a remote place before you can start devouring your prey. After all, it takes time to devour prey, and it is impossible to find a random place to eat.
He is still very weak, so he can only secretly find prey to devour. So, a remote place is a necessity for devouring and eating.
He Shang recalled for a moment, recalling in his mind those remote corners that met the requirements.
He used to be a beggar, so he was familiar with the terrain. In those days, he often went into the black wall to beg, because this was the only place where he could beg for more copper coins and food.
He couldn't get into the inner city, and he couldn't get any leftovers in the slums outside the black walls.
After years of begging life, He Shang is also familiar with the topography of this place.
This year's Spring Lantern Festival, he is here again. But he was no longer the humble beggar he was, but a man-eating beast.
In the past, he longed for copper coins and food. Now, he longs for more flesh and blood.
Cannibalism! Cannibalism! He unconsciously cracked his mouth and smiled strangely.
He Shang, who was originally sitting on a wooden stool, now stood up. Grab a full cup of tea, walk to the window, and look out the window.
This year's Spring Lantern Festival is also as lively as ever.
He Shang looked at the lively scene of the crowd, silently cracked his mouth, smiled, and showed the white teeth in his mouth.
"Since it's so lively, then there is a missing person...... It shouldn't cause too many waves. ”
The tea was drunk as soon as it was drunk, and it was eaten by He Shang along with the tea leaves.
