Cannibalism

"Is the injury of Flower God healed last time?" Yong Chuan took off the night clothes and folded them neatly in front of the table, "I'm afraid I'll bump into your wound when I turn over."

"It's all recovered." Tobimuro Jin blew out the candles and kicked off his boots, "Do you want to sleep on the inside or the outside?"

Yong Chuan replied: "I like to sleep on my side."

Tobishiren: "Then you go up first."

Just now Xie Sheng thoughtfully prepared an extra layer of quilts for the two of them, so that they can cover each other without disturbing each other.

In the past, Tobishijin would lie on the grass to sleep, and there was no fixed sleep time, but now he was not used to lying on the bed so obediently.

The quilt room was filled with the smell of sunshine and Xie Sheng, he took a sniff in the quilt, and immediately felt extremely comfortable.

"Flower God, have a good dream at night."

Just as Yong Chuan was about to close his eyes, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Tobishi Jinyang asked in a high voice: "Who is outside?"

"It's me." Xie Sheng opened the door and walked in, "I specially washed two bunches of grapes from the Western Regions, and brought them here for you to taste."

Yong Chuan had been hungry for many days, and when he heard that there were grapes to eat, his eyes flashed twice in the dark night, but his human form was not as faceless and lively as the animal form, so he sat for a long time without getting down. bed.

With a wave of his sleeve, Xie Sheng lit the candle again. He arranged the grapes on the table and said, "These are the grapes that my servant went to the Western Regions to pick today. They are a hundred times sweeter than the ones on Yuanshou Mountain. I specially picked the grapes that look the best Two full skewers."

Yuan Shiren recalled the days when he first met Xie Sheng, Xie Sheng was tied up by the villagers as a human animal for several days, during which time he could only eat vegetables and fruits fed to him by the villagers, including grapes.Yuan Shiren remembered that Xie Sheng didn't like to eat the grapes they fed him.Xie Sheng even vomited the grape skins on the shrine of the Iris flower god in a fit of anger.

I didn't expect Xie Sheng to hold a grudge.

"Let Yong Chuan eat, I can't eat." Yuan Shiren lay down, "I will be sleepy for several days after eating, and I have to trouble you to take care of me."

But Yong Chuan had already changed back to the animal shape, climbed out of the bed and collapsed, picked several grapes and stuffed them into his mouth.

"This kind of grape is sweet and juicy, you can chew off its juice in your mouth, and then spit out the pulp." Xie Sheng took out another new porcelain plate from nowhere, "You can spit out the pulp after a while." Here. Originally, I wanted to juice it for you, but I felt that the juice was not good, so you should peel it yourself to make it fresh and delicious."

"I remembered." Yong Chuan muttered with a grape in his mouth, "Hua Shen's stomach can't digest ordinary food, right? I think Xie Sheng's idea is good."

Tobishi Jin nodded: "Thank you very much, Sheng."

The iron-eating beast sat on the ground, squeezing the small room into a black and white mess.Yong Chuan ate the grapes and devoured them hungrily, and it looked like he was starving.The white hairs on both sides of his mouth were stained with dark grape juice, and in a short while the whole bunch was removed, leaving bare hard stems.

"There's another bunch." Yong Chuan pushed the plate in front of Yuanshiren, and said reluctantly, "Hurry up and eat."

He flipped onto the bed, straddled the quilt of Toshiro Jin, re-formed into a human form, hooked the quilt with his fingers, and put the quilt back on in a blink of an eye.

The time is ripe, Xie Sheng hastily threw out the most important part of the plan: "Aren, I think Yong Chuan is about to fall asleep. Why don't you come to my room and eat grapes. Chewing and spitting really takes a lot of effort. Don't interfere with Yong Chuan's rest."

Yuan Shiren thought for a while, felt that Xie Sheng's words were reasonable, and was about to agree, but Yong Chuan suddenly said: "I don't mind, Flower God can eat here. Anyway, the bedding has already been laid. And, smelling the sweetness of the grapes I fall asleep easier with the smell. Tasty food makes me feel better."

"Okay." Kiteshiren had already started eating with a plate, "Xie Sheng, go back to your room and rest, and leave me alone."

"..."

So Xie Sheng closed the door for them, and left the bedroom annoyed.

After Yuan Shiren finished chewing a plate of grapes, Yong Chuan had already fallen asleep on his side in the bed.

He extinguished the candle, got into bed, and closed his eyes to rest.

There are insects and wind blowing outside the window, which makes the silence of the night even more perfect.Tobishi Jin was half asleep and half awake, and suddenly felt a sudden force rushing towards him.He was hit hard by this force, and his butt fell to the ground.Plop--

After opening his eyes, Tobishi Jin realized that he had fallen off the bed.

Yuan Shijin got up and looked, it turned out that Yong Chuan had turned into an iron-eating beast on the bed, his body occupying most of the bed board.His eyes were closed tightly, and he was talking in his sleep: "I, I can chop wood..."

The two thick and round legs of the iron-eating beast thumped outward twice, and continued to kick Toshiro Jin's quilt off the bed.Then another ball turned over, completely occupying the position of Ren Tobishiro.

He had no intention of changing back to human form.

...I can't sleep anymore.

Yuanshiren thought to himself, anyway, he doesn't feel much sleepy, so why not go outside for a walk.He had never experienced the deserted Tianyan Mountain in the middle of the night.This place is naturally rich in spiritual power, and it is possible to see some wonders that cannot be seen during the day.

Yuan Shiren quietly left Xie Sheng's yard, followed the mountain path, and came to another familiar place.

There was a fire burning inside, and a fresh scent of tea wafted in.Hitoshi Tobishi knew that the people inside were not asleep.

When he walked to the door, Xie Nan in the courtyard suddenly said, "Who is standing outside? Come in."

Tobishi Jin stepped into the yard, and saw a few bare camellia trees, trembling branches swaying in the wind, leaves and petals all gone.

Xie Nan picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Yuanshiren: "Flower God can't sleep too, are you not used to it?"

"Just come out for a walk." Yuan Shiren didn't want to say that he was kicked out of bed by Yong Chuan, he took the teacup, looked down at the layer of turquoise tea, "the last time I came , the camellias in the yard are blooming vigorously, the petals are elegant, and there are green leaves as companions, it is pleasing to the eye, why are you thanking them all when you come again this time?"

"Thank you." Xie Nan said with a wry smile, "It was obviously eaten by iron-eating beasts. It's all my fault that I didn't let Xie Sheng punish Yong Chuan properly last time. This time it's my camellia tree's turn to suffer. Because of this There were a few bare tree trunks, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, so I ran outside to make tea."

"The more you drink the tea, the more you will become more sober." Yuan Shiren listened amusedly, "It seems that both of you brothers are helpless against him, let him mess around."

"Oh?" Xie Nan raised his eyebrows and fanned the wind with a fan. "So, Flower God has countermeasures?"

Yuan Shiren shook his head: "He is a good bear with love and righteousness. Apart from gluttony, he has no excessive shortcomings. What's more, gluttony is not an unforgivable sin."

"I have similar thoughts with Flower God. And..." Xie Nan looked at a cluster of treetops that were trembling by the night wind, bent his lips and smiled slightly, "I really appreciate his unrestrained temperament. Influenced by the folk customs of Sichuan and Chongqing, Yong Chuan is dismissive of many important things. Including the identification with the identity of the monster clan, and the sense of belonging to the world of spiritual consciousness, it is not as enthusiastic as our tiger clan."

"So, you envy Yong Chuan?" Yuan Shiren heard the meaning of his words, "You are really different from Xie Sheng. Xie Sheng is proud of this kind of belonging and recognition. He thinks this is a mission from heaven. Let him have the mission of maintaining the order of heaven at all times."

"Tiger brothers, each is different. I am more indecisive than Xie Sheng, and he is more straightforward and optimistic." Xie Nan released his finger bones from the cup and sat back on the chair.

The scorching fire light illuminated the night sky in the courtyard several feet square, and Xie Nan's side face drew a clear arc under the light of the fire.

"Xie Sheng is the kind of person who will never turn back after going all the way." Yuan Shiren hesitated for a while, and said, "But I always feel that you have the same attitude. You are all equally persistent."

"Thank you." Xie Nan withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned to Yuanshiren's face, "Flower God, I see that you look worried today. I wonder if you came to me at this moment to clarify my doubts?"

Yuan Shiren paused, obviously guessed his mind.He said: "Today Xie Sheng said in the Dragon Palace that he met me when he was young and called me 'little octopus'. I want to ask, do you still remember what happened back then? ? On the way back, I wanted Xie Sheng to tell me a few details about the first time we met, but he replied that he couldn't remember clearly."

"Little octopus...?" Xie Nan lowered his eyes, and his round eyes were covered with two glossy leaves. He said in surprise, "I didn't expect that the flower god is the 'little octopus' that Xie Sheng swore to catch when he was a child. I said at that time , It looks very different from an octopus. It’s just that there are a few more claws than other sea tribes. Looking back now, the so-called claws are mostly the flower stems of the flower god.”

"I don't remember anything until now." Tobishiren sighed, "I lost that memory."

"I have forgotten whether it was 800 years or 900 years ago. I have very little impression of 'Little Octopus'." Xie Nan recalled, pursing her lips, "However, the words of the flower god reminded me of some past events. It has something to do with Xie Sheng when he was young, does Flower God want to hear about it?"

Tobishiren nodded: "I'm all ears."

"That was when Xie Sheng was just born, and Xie Gan was only three years old. The Yaozu needed four or five years of infancy before they could learn to walk. At that time, there was no realm of spirits, and there was no such thing as the harmonious coexistence of humans, monsters, immortals and ghosts. At that time There is a rule in the heavens: the Yaozu will go through a catastrophe every hundred years. It is very unfortunate that Xie Sheng was born shortly after the catastrophe of his parents. Therefore, only a few brothers and sisters and I can take care of him. During those days, Xie Sheng and I were very close, because in most cases, I was the one who took care of him..."

1000 years ago, at the foot of Tianyan Mountain.

There was a humanoid child roasting a venison leg.

Xie Nan strung up a deer leg with twigs, put it on the firewood in front of him and set it up.When the venison leg is roasted until it is browned, a layer of fragrant oil emerges from it, and it sizzles on the flame.The roasted deer leg is hot and fragrant, and the aroma is so mouth-watering.

Behind him was a bamboo basket covered with a piece of cotton cloth.

The deer leg has been roasted, Xie Nan was just about to open his mouth to take a big bite, when he heard a cry from the bamboo basket: "Wow..."

Xie Nan quickly put down the deer legs, turned around and lifted the cotton cloth, inside there were two short and round cubs, one was bigger and the other was so small that the eyes were still glued together, and there was no fluff on the face. faded.The big one is Xie Gan, she is crying sadly with her ears hanging down, and she is still biting the bamboo edge on the top of the basket with her new teeth.

Xie Nan is a child himself, and he doesn't know how to take care of his younger siblings, but his older brothers and sisters have all gone out to hunt prey and pick fruit cloth traps, leaving him, a helpless child, to take care of Xie Gan and Xie Sheng.

He thought, Xie Gan must be hungry.

Elder brother Xie Li once told him that Xie Gan has teeth and it is time to wean her. You can try to give her some food that is easy to chew and swallow, but if Xie Sheng is hungry, you must feed him.

At present, there is no animal race in Tianyan Mountain that can breastfeed, so the third brother Xie Li went outside the mountain to find a beast that can breastfeed Xie Gan.Fortunately, it is not Xie Sheng who is crying now, otherwise he really has no way to deal with it.

He asked Xie Gan who was crying loudly: "Do you eat deer leg?"

Xie Gan understood, stopped crying, glanced at the deer's leg, and then burst into tears again: "Wow wow..."

She had a mouthful of new and immature teeth. Even the tiger, the king of beasts, would never be able to bite the muscular deer legs when he was babbling.

"Hey, Gan'er, don't cry," Xie Nan took a bite of the deer leg, chewed a few bites and put it in his palm. He put his hand in front of Xie Gan's head and asked, "Gan'er, can you eat it?" Eat this?"

Xie Gan lowered his head, took a sniff first, then stretched out his tongue and gently licked Xie Nan's palm, the numb tongue made Xie Nan's hand itch.Xie Nan giggled.

After tasting the delicacy of the deer leg, Xie Gan's licking movements intensified, and after two or three mouthfuls, Xie Nan's palms were licked clean and shiny.

She stopped crying, but there were still bright tears in her eyes, and she looked up at Xie Nan with a pitiful and innocent look.

"Do you still want to eat?" Xie Gan held up the deer leg and took another bite, spat it into the palm of his hand and fed it to Xie Gan.

Repeated this many times, Xie Gan was full, and she lay back in the bamboo basket, drowsy.Seeing this, Xie Nan quickly covered it with a cotton cloth.

call……

Finally it calmed down a bit.

Xie Nan picked up the remaining half of the deer leg and was about to drop his mouth when he heard a new cry coming from the bamboo basket.

"Whoa whoa-"

This cry was thinner and softer than Xie Gan's, and one couldn't help but feel a little more love and affection.

Xie Nan held up the deer leg in frustration, glanced at it reluctantly, and then had no choice but to pounce on the bamboo basket again.

Little Xie Sheng is hungry, now, he really has nothing to do.

And Xie Gan, who had just fallen asleep, was also awakened by the crying, and began to cry.One big one, one big one, one small one, one small one, cried one after another, and they were all out of breath.It was the first time Xie Nan encountered such a difficult situation, and he stood there speechless.

"Wow wow!"

"Whoa whoa!"

……

About half an hour later, both Xie Gan and Xie Sheng were tired from crying, hugged each other and fell asleep.

Xie Nan thought to himself: Xie Sheng hasn't opened his eyes yet, and now he is hungry and has no milk to drink. He didn't expect to cry so loudly and for such a long time. As soon as he heard it, he knew that this younger brother was in good health and full of energy, and he would definitely grow up in the future. The indomitable and good man of the Tiger Clan.

After Xie Li returned to the mountain at night, he brought back a she-wolf that could breastfeed Xie Sheng.This female wolf is not a monster, but an ordinary wolf.Xie Li couldn't communicate with it, so he could only tie it up and let someone feed it to Xie Sheng.

Xie Nan watched the female wolf howling sadly from time to time, and asked, "Where's her baby? Since there is milk, it means that she is still feeding her baby."

"They're all dead." Xie Li regretted, "When I went, I happened to see it licking its fur for its children. Its children were all bitten to death by poisonous snakes." Xie Li thumped his back, "Today I am exhausted and exhausted, and now my legs are sore, Nan Nan, help Xie Sheng get some wolf milk."

"Okay, third brother."

Under the night, the female wolf had a fierce green light in its eyes. Seeing him approaching, she immediately opened her mouth, showing two rows of sharp teeth, and made a threatening "呲" sound.

Xie Nan was startled, his hand shook, and the wooden box for wolf milk he was holding fell to the ground.

Xie Nan sobbed: "Woo! Third brother! It wants to bite me."

Xie Li threw a stone at the foot of the female wolf, and the female wolf was frightened and seemed to be motionless.

"Brother, can you be a little promising, you are a tiger, what are you afraid of it doing?"

Xie Nan held back tears: "I, I know."

Under the guidance of the third brother Xie Li, he finished taking the wolf's milk with trembling legs, and then hurried to the bamboo basket.He took off the cotton cloth on the bamboo basket, leaned over to look, and found that Xie Sheng had opened his eyes at some point, neither crying nor fussing, looking at him with clear water eyes without blinking.

He turned out to be the first brother who saw Xie Sheng open his eyes.

Xie Nan picked up the smallest tiger, opened the wooden box, and fed it wolf milk spoon by spoon.

Xie Sheng's eyelashes fluttered, his eyes were clear and clear, as if reflecting the starlight above his head.After he took a sip, he let out a joyful cry, which was so milky, it really didn't look like a tiger.

After Xie Sheng finished drinking, he fell asleep in his arms, holding Xie Nan's arm with his two paws, but he refused to let go.

The younger brother's forehead was round and big, his eyes were closed into two curves, and he was still tasting the wolf's milk with his mouth, looking defenseless.Xie Nan really didn't want to wake him up.

"Then you will sleep with your younger brother today." Xie Li picked up Xie Gan in the bamboo basket, swung it back and forth twice, and said with a smile, "Let's go, sister, we are two brothers and sisters, and ignore them."
