Lingering Smell
Chapter 139:Lingering Smell
Out of politeness, we had to sit down and listen to Lu Yucong talk about his special experience.
Sixty years ago, as a five-year-old Lu Yucong, the hometown is still a poor place for wild vegetable leaves, at that time, to be able to eat a full meal is lucky.
And because the mother of the family gave birth to a child, so Lu Yucong was pulled to sleep with her grandmother, there was no light at that time, so as long as it was dark, people fell asleep, but the little Lu Yucong could not sleep, because that night, he heard a strange movement.
The sound of chewing and chewing seemed unusually clear in the dark night.
For a child who goes to sleep hungry, this voice is undoubtedly a deadly temptation.
In the darkness, Lu Yusheng was motionless and swallowed heavily, and at first he thought it was a movement made by a mouse, but later he found that the chewing sound came from the mouth of his grandmother, who was sleeping with his back.
Does my grandmother eat alone at night?
Lu Yucong thought of this, can't help but be a little angry, grandmother how can this be, he also wants to eat.
You can't help but sit up lightly, and then suddenly lie down on Grandma: "Grandma, what are you eating?"
Grandma was surprised, turned her face, the whole face was just in the window into the moon light, only to see the grandmother's mouth, hanging a wisp of bright red blood, holding a thing in the hand, blood do not know what.
But at that time, for the five-year-old Lu Yucong, he did not know what to be afraid of, nor did he know what the blood represented, he just looked at his grandmother curiously and said, "I will eat, I am hungry."
Grandma smiled, and the teeth were stained with blood, and there were a few pink little meat strips: "Well, Grandma gave Cong Cong to eat, but don't tell the villagers that we have something to eat, you know?"
Lu Yicong nodded obediently, Grandma handed him a bloody small piece of meat, that small meat is soft, long, he took a bite, feel a little sweet, slightly a little sweet, but because it is too hungry, so that the fishy smell can be completely ignored, so the big mouth chewed up, only in the end, a small bone, he also gnaw the skin clean before throwing away.
"Well, well, sleep well when you're full, and you'll have to wait a few months for the next time you want to eat meat."After eating, his grandmother helped him clean the corners of his mouth and let him sleep.
This night, Lu Yucong can finally sleep with satisfaction, meat, this is the taste of meat, he deeply remembered in his heart.
The next morning, Lu Yucong, who had just woke up, rushed into his mother’s room.
“Mom, where’s the baby?”Lu Yucong climbed up his mother's bed and looked around for the baby, he was happy that he finally had a baby at home, and the previous two did not feed it.
The mother laughed bitterly: "The little baby is not feeding, he is dead."
“He’s so fat, how can he not live?”If you remember correctly, the baby has been born for three days, has been very good, very healthy, how can suddenly be gone.
However, the adult world for the five-year-old he, too difficult to understand, the mother said that the baby is a certain emergency so dead, he only feel sad, silently get out of bed to wear shoes, who want shoes too broken, how can not wear feet.
Lu Yucong had to squat on the ground to pull the heel of his shoes, did not expect, even in the mother's bed under the sight of some small bones, he picked up a piece, a fine look, there are nail cover above, although very small, but can see clearly.
At the end of the day, Lu Yucong suddenly understood what he was eating last night.
He couldn't believe his eyes, stumbled and ran upstairs, found the bone he threw away last night, really has a fingernail cover, is a child's finger, how can, last night, their whole family, the baby to eat?
Did the last two babies born to my mother be eaten like that?
Although the little Lu Yucong did not know much, his subconscious knew that it was wrong for people to eat people.If the mother can't have a baby next time, will they eat themselves?
The more I thought about the more afraid of Lu Yucong waited until it was getting dark, quietly running out of the house, but not long after, the family found that he was missing.
So Dad and Grandpa took the whole village with a torch to look for him, and he crouched in a shrubbery, and they could not go out.
Finally, the steps of Dad and Mom stopped right in front of the bushes where he was hiding, and the two men began to speak.
The mother whispered, "You don't blame your mother, let her guard not let the Cong know, she also fed him."
Dad: "Shh, you whisper a little, let the villagers hear, Mom, she is also too hungry!"Besides, we can't do that, and if we don't, our whole family will have to starve to death."
"What the villagers hear and how to do it, which one is not well aware of it, the family has a born baby who does not live, but what is the matter, everyone has a mirror in their hearts."But my cleverness, it is difficult to raise him so big, he must hate us, you say, he can understand our pain?"My mother was crying.
To tell the truth, if he did not find this, Lu Yucong always thought that although he was born in a family that was not surplus, but he had the most loved people in the world, Mom and Dad, grandparents, any of them are very fond of him, even if he stumbles, suffered a little injury, they will be very distressed.
Hearing his mother crying so sad, Lu Yucong also followed the whisper sobbing, he was really afraid, but if he left this home, he could go where he could not get out of this mountain, and went into the wolf's stomach.
Mom and Dad heard his voice and immediately kped open the bushes from the tree to find him: "Cong Cong, my precious son."
The husband and wife were surprised and happy, and suddenly hugged him tightly and cried, and told everyone that the child had found it.
At that time, the village chief asked Lu Yucong: “How did you get out?”
Lu Zhicong lied and said, "I came out with a black paddle, I didn't expect to get lost."
The villagers shivered, and each went home and did not mention it.
And Lu Yucong, who returned home again, also made sure that he was lost because of following the black shaved, but since then, he will no longer eat meat, and no meat will be eaten, including animal meat.
Here, the 65-year-old grandfather Lu Yusong said lightly: "But even if you don't eat meat, for decades, the smell of the baby meat, has always been lingering in my mouth."
This is the most thrilling story I have heard, from the point of view of human nature and moral ethics, it seems to give me a solid slap, I know for the first time that people are forced in the predicament, perhaps even the beast is not as good.
Now look at the rich food on the table, it is half of the appetite.
In the room, the silence could be heard on the ground, and everyone present was shocked, including the old chief, who had always been calm.
Lu Yucong glanced at each of us: "Later, my family, and even the whole village, did not spoil the so-called retribution, do you say that God at such a time, did not it unfairly choose to turn a blind eye?" 」
