Kang Xintong was so frightened by this change that he quickly put down the wooden bowl in his hand.
With a bang, the broth in the bowl spilled out with her movements and splashed onto the food table.
She didn't care about this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Zheng, who was vomiting.
Kang Xintong was so frightened by this change that he thought that Lu Zheng was poisoned.
"Did someone put poison in this porridge?" Kang Xintong thought that the relationship between his foster father and the main police officer had broken down and there were irreconcilable contradictions. His first reaction was to suspect that Antou poisoned others, and his heart was full of fire. combustion.
Lu Zheng was still bending over to vomit, physiological tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and the tip of his eyes were dyed with wisps of red, which added a bit of vulnerability.
Kang Xintong could only raise his hand and pat his back lightly to give him a good breath. When he vomited so much that he even vomited out bile, Kang Xintong got up and brought him some water to rinse his mouth. Lu Zheng vomited a lot, and his expression changed from livid to bloodless pale.
"It's not poisoning..."
Lu Zheng suppressed the nausea that was surging from time to time in his throat, and took the clean water handed by Kang Xintong to rinse his mouth, which made him feel better.
Kang Xintong's eyes showed surprise, and he was vaguely apprehensive and uneasy, and asked timidly, "It's not poisoning... Could it be that the meat is rancid?"
Lu Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing, but judging from his expression and eyes, this bowl of meat porridge is by no means a naive question as "soaked meat".
Is it
Kang Xintong has been nurturing by Lu Zheng's side for a few months, and his vision and knowledge have grown by leaps and bounds.
Lu Zheng's various reactions gave Kang Xintong an extremely bad premonition.
She lowered her head and glanced at the things that Lu Zheng spat out, and inspected them with her eyes.
Kang Xintong suddenly saw something, and his eyes were almost frozen. Before she could scream, Lu Zheng's generous and warm palms covered her eyes.
"Don't look at it, let someone come in and pack up."
Lu Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was struggling to suppress something, which made Kang Xintong feel a little at ease.
She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the sour taste that seemed to come up in her throat, and ran out without looking back.
Lu Zheng clearly heard Kang Xintong's voice of vomiting outside the tent, and he felt a bit disappointed and ridiculed in his heart.
He raised his hand and took the chopsticks and fiddled with the vomit a few times, and a flat thyroid-like structure rolled out, with a small bone attached to it. This is the foreign object that Lu Zheng bit just now... If I am not mistaken, this thing It was clearly someone's little finger phalanx, and the nails still remained on it... Lu Zheng stared at it for a long time. Although he didn't vomit, his face turned pale.
Lu Zheng sat on the bed in a trance, not knowing what to think. He didn't even hear Kang Xintong opening the tent and coming in.
When he regained his senses, he hurriedly started to hide the thing, but he moved a step slower, but Kang Xintong still saw it.
"Foster father, the meat porridge that my daughter ate by mistake... was actually mixed with human breast... right?"
Kang Xintong asked with a trembling voice, his eyes overflowing with water vapor were filled with panic and fear.
"...The two armies fought, and many dead... An food and grass were scarce, and food lines were often hindered, and it was time to run out of ammunition and food... Hua Yuan was secretly obstructing it from the rear... The people who raised food and grass mixed human candied among them, and it was very important Making minced meat... It doesn't seem to be unexpected... Xin Tong, have you seen it?" Lu Zheng saw that she had seen it, and instead of covering it up, he sat up straight with a wry smile on his pale face, he pointed at the quilt The half-cooked little finger, with a complicated expression, said, "The troubled world is the sword, and the people are the fish. Whether it's An or Liu Xi, in the final analysis, they are just people who are pushed and struggled by the world. The most pitiful thing is that these people can't go to the ground when they die. For safety, people in troubled times who will be made into dried meat for the three armies to eat... We have to get rid of it!"
Kang Xintong's body trembled with fear.
She thought the scene she had ever experienced was the worst.
Until later, Lu Zheng took her to the dark alley for a walk, refreshing her worldview. She thought that was the cruelest aspect of the chaotic world, but at this moment she realized that the shock of the scene in front of her, which was not bloody, was incomparable to the former...
"Xintong, find someone to inquire about the source of this batch of food and grass... My father wants to see, when will this farce end..." Seeing Kang Xintong slowly calming down, Lu Zheng asked, "Remember, Be careful to inquire so as not to disturb others."
Kang Xintong nodded heavily, and went forward to endure his nausea and cleaned up the two bowls of meat porridge, as well as the vomit on the ground.
Although things are cleaned up, the memories deeply embedded in my mind are not so easy to forget.
The more Kang Xintong didn't want to think about it, the little finger and half drooping nails were dangling in front of her eyes, causing her to look pale and in low spirits. It took a lot of effort to find out the detailed information, Kang Xintong did not delay, and immediately informed Lu Zheng of the news.
She repeated clearly, "Foster father, the news has been inquired. According to rumors, Huayuan sent someone to hear that the new food and grass will arrive in three days, but the military camp's food and grass are almost bottomed out. I have to send someone to approach the end. The county and town looted the surplus food from the people's homes."
Lu Zheng sat on the bed with his clothes on, and couldn't help sneering.
"Ridiculous! Let's not talk about how many people there are in nearby counties and towns, even if there are quite a few people, but last year's war brought disaster to farming, and this year Liu Xi destroyed the spring ploughing... The people's home grain storage is not enough for them to spend a whole year, Not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops."
Kang Xintong said, "In the end, it took extraordinary measures to get together a batch of food and grass. If it's not enough... I make up for it with human candies..."
Speaking of the word "human candied", Kang Xintong frowned, looking like he wanted to vomit.
Compared to Kang Xintong's reaction, Lu Zheng was much calmer.
It's not that he is more accepting than Kang Xintong, and it's not that he is cold-hearted, just because he has more knowledge.
Human preserved meat is not uncommon in history books, and there are similar records such as changing sons and eating, and people eating each other.
Not to mention, more than ten years ago, the four tribes of Nanman devastated the people of Nansheng.
Wherever they fight, they burn, kill and loot, and they eat and eat.
The Nansheng Allied Forces captured Nanman and looted countless trophies. At that time, the relationship between Lu Zheng and An had not completely broken down, and at most there were contradictions. The latter knew that Lu Zheng liked books, so he sorted out the loot of books and threw them to Lu Zheng.
Later, Lu Zheng was at home and was bored to sort out the books and classify them into different categories. He accidentally found a food guide written by a southern barbarian alien literati. He named it "Cannibal Fu". All horrified the viewers.
The other party described in detail the experience of eating boys and girls, boys and girls, teenagers and girls, adult men and women, old men and women... As ingredients, they made delicious food. It was the first time that Lu Zheng read this "Cannibal Mantra", and it was him who vomited after reading it.
