One Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy-Four: Receive Nansheng, Kill Anxi (82)

Kang Xintong was so frightened by this accident that she quickly put down the wooden bowl in her hand.

With a bang, some of the broth in the bowl spilled out with her movements and splashed onto the food table.

She didn't care about these, and hurried forward to help Lu Zheng who was vomiting.

Kang Xintong was so frightened by this incident that he thought Lu Zheng had been poisoned.

"Father—Father—has someone poisoned this porridge?" Kang Xintong thought of the broken relationship and irreconcilable conflicts between his foster father and Lord An Jing, and his first reaction was to suspect that An Xing had been poisoned. Poisoning people, the fire in the heart is burning.

Lu Zheng was still bending over to vomit, with physiological tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and the tips of his eyes were dyed red, adding a bit of fragility.

Kang Xintong could only raise his hand and pat him on the back to comfort him. When he was about to vomit bile, Kang Xintong got up and brought him water to rinse his mouth. Lu Zheng vomited a lot, his expression turned from livid to bloodless pale.

"It's not poisoning..."

Lu Zheng suppressed the nausea that surged up in his throat from time to time, and took the water from Kang Xintong to rinse his mouth, which made him feel better.

Kang Xintong's eyes showed surprise, and he was a little scared and uneasy, and asked timidly, "It's not poisoning... Could it be that the meat has gone bad?"

Lu Zheng pursed his lips and remained silent, but judging from his expression and eyes, this bowl of meat porridge was definitely not a childish problem like "rotten meat".

Could it be—

Kang Xintong has been raised by Lu Zheng's side for several months, and his vision and knowledge have improved by leaps and bounds.

Lu Zheng's various reactions gave Kang Xintong an extremely bad premonition.

She lowered her head to glance at the things Lu Zheng spit out, and inspected them with her eyes.

Kang Xintong suddenly saw something, his eyes were almost frozen, before she could scream, Lu Zheng's generous and warm palms were in front of her eyes.

"Don't look, let someone come in and tidy things up."

Lu Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was struggling to suppress something, and Kang Xin's childlike heart felt a little at ease.

She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the sour taste that seemed to be welling up in her throat, and ran out without looking back.

Lu Zheng clearly heard the sound of Kang Xintong throwing up outside the tent, and felt somewhat disappointed and ridiculed.

He raised his hand to fetch the chopsticks and fiddled with the vomit a few times, a flat nail-shaped object 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 is It was clearly a part of someone's little finger bone, and the nail was still 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 daze, not knowing what to think, and he didn't even hear Kang Xintong open the tent and come in.

When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly started to hide the thing, but he was a step slower, and Kang Xintong still saw it.

"Father, the meat porridge my daughter ate by mistake just now...in fact, it was mixed with human dried meat... right?"

Kang Xintong asked this question tremblingly, her watery eyes were filled with panic and fear.

"...the two armies fought, and there were many dead...An'an's food and grass were scarce, and the food line was blocked, and it was time to run out of ammunition and food...Hua Yuan was secretly obstructing the rear...the people who raised food and grass, preserved people Mixing it in, redoing minced meat...it doesn't seem to be unexpected...Xintong, did you see it?" Seeing that she saw it, Lu Zheng didn't continue to cover up, but sat up straight, with a wry smile on his pale face , Pointing to the half-cooked half of little finger, he said with a complicated expression, "In troubled times, you are a knife, and you are a fish. Whether it is An Jing or Liu Xi, in the final analysis, they are just people who are pushed by the world to struggle. The most pitiful, It’s nothing more than these people in troubled times who can’t rest in the soil after death, but will be made into dried meat for the three armies to eat... We must get rid of them!”

Kang Xintong's body trembled with fear.

She thought that the scene she had experienced was the worst.

Until later, Lu Zheng took her to a dark alley for a walk, which refreshed her worldview. She thought that was the cruelest side of troubled times,

It was only at this time that she realized that the impact of the not-so-bloody scene in front of her was incomparable to the former...

"Xintong, find someone to inquire about the source of this batch of grain and grass... I want to see when this farce will end..." Seeing that Kang Xintong had calmed down slowly, Lu Zheng instructed, " Remember, you must inquire carefully, so as not to alarm others."

Kang Xintong nodded heavily, and went forward to put away the two bowls of meat porridge while enduring his nausea, as well as the vomit on the ground.

Although the things were tidied up, the memories deep in my mind were not so easily forgotten.

The more Kang Xintong didn't want to think about it, the little finger and the half-hanging nail dangled in front of her eyes, making her pale and depressed. It took a lot of effort to find out the detailed information, but Kang Xintong did not delay and immediately informed Lu Zheng of the news.

She repeated clearly, "Father, I have heard the news. According to rumors, Huayuan sent someone to send the news that the new food and grass will arrive in three days, but the food and grass in the military camp are almost exhausted. An Min had no choice but to send someone to Nearby counties and towns searched for food leftovers from people’s homes.”

Lu Zheng sat on the bed with his clothes on, and couldn't help laughing.

"Ridiculous! Let's not talk about how many people there are in the neighboring counties and towns, even if there are quite a few people, but the war last year affected the cultivation, and this year Liu Xi destroyed the spring plowing... The food stored in the people's homes is not enough for them to last a whole year , not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops under An Min's tent."

Kang Xintong said, "In the end, it took extraordinary means to get together a batch of food and grass. If it wasn't enough... use human dried meat to make up for it..."

Speaking of the word "human preserved meat", Kang Xintong frowned, as if wanting to vomit.

Compared with Kang Xintong's reaction, Lu Zheng was much calmer.

It's not that he is more receptive than Kang Xintong, and it's not that he is cold-hearted, it's just because he has more knowledge.

Human candied meat is not uncommon in history books, and there are similar records such as changing children and eating, and people eating each other.

Not to mention far away, more than ten years ago the four tribes of the Nanman ravaged the people of Nansheng, and where they passed, not a single blade of grass grew.

Wherever they fought, they burned, killed, looted, and also ate people.

The Nansheng Allied Forces captured Nanman and took countless spoils of war. At that time, the relationship between Lu Zheng and An Jing hadn't completely broken down, at most there were conflicts. The latter knew that Lu Zheng liked books, so he sorted out all the spoils of books he had collected, and threw them all to Lu Zheng.

Later, when Lu Zheng was at home, he was bored and sorted out the books, sorting them into categories. He accidentally found a food guide written by a foreign scholar of the Southern Barbarians. He named it "Ode to Cannibals". Every word makes the viewer shudder.

The other party described in detail the eating experience of baby boys and girls, boys and girls, teenagers and girls, adult men and women, old women and old people... as ingredients, and made into gourmet food. It was the first time for Lu Zheng to read this "Ode to Cannibals". Rao, he threw up after reading it.
