"Daddy, I'm hungry!" He opened his innocent eyes wide and innocently looked at the man called father.
"Boo, be good, hold on, hold on! There will be food soon!" The man's resolute face cracked an ugly smile as if it had dried up.
"Oh!" He nodded his head half-understood.
After a while, "Daddy, I'm hungry!"
"Go to sleep, you won't feel hungry after you sleep!" The man was very helpless. He could take the head of the enemy general in the army, but he couldn't change the food in this impoverished family.
"But Daddy, I'm still hungry!" He blinked his eyes, and the strong sense of hunger made him yell at his omnipotent father, who originally had a mother, but his father said that mother was tired and fell asleep .
"Bu'er, wait for dad to find it for you!" The man got up, picked up the longbow that had already been covered with dust in the room, and left.
In the evening, the man came back, and he came back in his expectant eyes. His face was full of travel and dust, but his hands were empty, and the bark and turf were all gone. How could he hit the prey with a longbow? .
But at that time, he didn't understand. He only knew that every time his father went out with that beloved big bow, he would bring delicious food with him, so he opened his little hand and shouted, "Daddy, I'm hungry! Eat!" of!"
The innocent face and the thin body made the man's face darken for a while, "I'm sorry, Bu'er, Daddy is useless and couldn't bring you food!"
"Daddy!" Although he is small, he is still very sensible, knowing that this man named father has tried his best, and nodded his head as if he understood something, "Daddy, Bu'er is not hungry anymore, Bu'er is going to sleep!" Closed The whole world seemed to be dimmed.
In a daze, he seemed to hear two voices, one was the sweet and gentle voice, "Boo, Boo, come here!"
"Mother!" It was his mother's voice in a daze.
"Boo, good boy, come to mother!"
"Mother, I'm hungry!" He didn't see his mother in the past, and he said what he thought without hesitation.
"Bu'er, come to Niangqin, you won't be hungry here!" a gentle voice called.
There was another anxious and hoarse voice, "Bu'er wake up, wake up! Can't sleep, can't sleep!" This was Daddy's voice.
"Mother really won't be hungry when you come to your place!" He tilted his head and asked doubtfully.
"Well, come to mother, Bu'er won't feel hungry! Come on, Bu'er!" The gentle voice still called him.
"But daddy!" He hesitated a little.
"Your father will come to us sooner or later, let's go ahead and wait for him!"
"Oh!" His little head didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't want to be hungry anymore, being hungry was so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable.
"Bu'er, wake up, wake up!" The man was about to go crazy, his son's body was getting colder and colder, his breathing and heartbeat were slowly stopping, he knew it wasn't a disease, it was hunger! It was caused by hunger. As long as there is food now, as long as there is food to eat now, his son will be able to come back alive.
But he didn't, he didn't.
"Meat, food, food!" The man was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. "Meat, meat, yes meat!" The man suddenly thought of something, gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Yi'er, I'm sorry, I've already lost you, I can't live without Bu'er!"
Gradually, he opened his eyes, and there was no mother in his vision, nor was there no hunger as the mother said, only his father, and the uncomfortable feeling of hunger.
"Daddy! I'm hungry!"
"Come here, Buer, we have something to eat, we have something to eat! Look, it's meat, it's meat!" A blood-red lump of blood-tinged meat appeared on the man's hand.
"Hungry, I want to eat!" He didn't care whether the meat was clean or not cooked, he picked up the piece of flesh and bit it, it was delicious, this was his first feeling.
After eating a big piece, he noticed that his father hadn't eaten it at all. He pushed the piece of meat and said, "Daddy, eat it too, eat it!"
The man shook his head, "Father is not hungry, you eat Buer, you eat!"
After that day, he has meat to eat every day, although it is bloody, it can fill his stomach, right? But the man didn't eat a bite.
Finally one day the man couldn't hold on anymore, and that stalwart body fell down.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you, Daddy!" He panicked, his father in his mind was the sky, and now the sky was about to collapse. He was so scared that tears filled his eyes.
"Bu'er, don't cry, don't cry, our Bu'er is a man, the future big man general, how can we cry!" Your mother is gone! I can only leave you alone!"
"No, Daddy, I'm going to accompany my mother too, I'm going to accompany my mother too!" He probably cried the most in his life that day.
"No, Bu'er, you have to promise Dad, you have to live a good life, you have to live a good life, you can't come to accompany Dad and Mother, you can't!" The man shook his head and said, "After Dad fell asleep, he saw the knife over there. Are you done? Gently slash and cut off the flesh from daddy, they can keep you alive, they can let you live through this calamity year!"
Cut meat with a knife? He didn't understand, and subconsciously ignored it.
"After eating, put Daddy and your mother together and live well. This is Daddy's greatest wish. Bu'er is sorry! I can't take care of you anymore, Yi'er, I'm here to accompany you!" After finishing the last sentence The man closed his eyes forever.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Daddy fell asleep too, and mother fell asleep too, and he was the only one left in this world.
With difficulty, the thin body dragged the man towards the dilapidated house called home. His mother slept in the back of the house, and he and his father covered her with a blanket. He still remembered that his father said that he would marry his mother. Sleep together.
He has no tools to dig the soil, the only thing that can dig the soil is the long knife left by his father at home, but he is reluctant, he uses his small hands, a pair of thin hands, bit by bit, one by one He dug up the soil until his fingernails were broken, until his fingers were rotten, and finally he dug out his mother.
When he saw his mother, he was stunned, his eyes lost in thought.
The mother who had been buried in the soil with her clothes on was completely mutilated except for her head, and her thighs and arms were completely devoid of flesh and bones.
At this moment, he understood, he suddenly understood, understood the meaning of his father's words, and also understood the origin of the meat he ate these days.
Those sweet and fragrant flesh and blood were all from mother's body, and his father cut them off bit by bit. Now he understood why his father would not touch the meat even if he died of starvation.
"Daddy!" He lowered his head, and something called haze lurked in his physical strength.
Finally, the famine was over, the aliens left, and he survived. Behind the house called home, two bones of the dead cuddled together and were forever buried under the earth.
