Judgment

lead:

Break the bones for cooking, and change the children to eat.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Chu besieged the capital of the State of Song for several months, and could not attack for a long time.The people in the city ran out of food and had no food to eat, so they had to exchange their children for food.

In the wars and famines of later generations, cannibalism has occurred several times in human history, and even human flesh of all ages has been given different names.This race that thinks it is different from all living beings with its wisdom and rationality is nothing more than a "cannibal" after all.

Zhang Sufen didn't know about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, she didn't know about the Song and Chu Kingdoms, she didn't know a single word, and she didn't understand the hype explanations given by later historians.She only knows that people cannot eat people.

In this era of starvation and panic, many people eat the living and the dead, which is already a known thing.But Zhang Sufen has never thought of cannibalism in the past, whether it is someone else's child, a dead person, or an old man, in her opinion, cannibalism is something only animals can do. Human cannibalism is worse than animals.

But sometimes, you don't want to eat people, but someone wants to eat you.

Zhang Sufen stood at the door of the house, staring fiercely at the person in front of her like a she-wolf protecting her cubs.

"Widow Zhang, why don't you understand?" The village captain sighed, and said, "Everyone is starving to death, and we did this to let the rest of us survive. I know you don't want to, But you also have to think about your two remaining children, they still have to eat."

"I'll find them!"

"What are you looking for? Even the tree roots have been eaten up now. What can you find?" Let’s change home. The youngest son of the old Liu family in the east, just the day before yesterday..."

"I don't change!"

Zhang Sufen yelled like crazy, "I won't let Haizi and Amei eat the human flesh that their eldest sister brought back!"

She drove these people out with all her teeth and claws, her eyes red as she drove them away.

Back in the house, Zhang Sufen stared at her eldest daughter, Yaya, and didn't fall asleep the whole night.As soon as she closes her eyes, she can see the scene of someone breaking into the house, cutting open Yaya's hands and feet, and grabbing Yaya's meat to eat.

But in the dream, she couldn't do anything except scream hoarsely.Those cannibals are like ghosts whose faces cannot be seen clearly, twisted and hideous.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Zhang Sufen looked at Yaya beside the bed, holding her daughter's body, and sat there all night.

The next day, before dawn, she cremated Yaya.

At that time, burial was the best destination for the deceased, and cremation was regarded as a way to disturb the peace of the deceased.

But Zhang Sufen would rather let her daughter "die without a place to bury her", and she would not be far away from becoming someone else's belly wrap!

--------------------------------------

Ji Xuan looked at the lumpy unidentified object in the bowl, not knowing why, "What is this?"

"Chicken." Mrs. Zhang looked at him strangely, "You haven't even eaten chicken, have you?"

Ji Xuan nodded clearly, "No."

The monster only feeds on human beings, he doesn't even know how to eat human flesh, how can he eat chicken?

Mrs. Zhang looked at him from doubt to pity, "Poor baby, what do you usually eat?"

Ji Xuan thought about it carefully, and replied: "Eat whatever you encounter."

There are many people with negative emotions in this world, so he doesn't need to find food specially, at most, he sometimes plays a game of snatching prey to pass the time, such as the time he and Wang Chen snatched food.Apart from his wanting revenge, he actually did it only when he was bored.

Sometimes, Ji Xuan also likes to point out some "confused" human beings by the way, and wait for them to slowly transform into delicious food in the future.Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered a girl he met in a certain place a few months ago. He gave her some abilities at that time, hoping that she would become more delicious.Don't know about that food, how is it now?

Poor Ji Xuan still doesn't know that the grain reserve he cultivated by himself has been preemptively eaten by Wang Chen.

But generally speaking, as a quite capable candidate, Ji Xuan definitely has no shortage of food.

But his sentence about eating what you meet was obviously misunderstood by Mrs. Zhang.The old lady thought that Ji Xuan was living a miserable life where he could eat whatever he had and could barely make ends meet.For a moment, I felt even more sympathetic.

"If you don't dislike it, you can come to my place to eat every day in the future. I can still afford to raise an extra mouth as an old woman. When I was young, no matter how poor I was, I could still support two children?"

Ji Xuan's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Where are the two children?"

"You've grown up, you've got a family, why don't you have time to come and see me, an old lady."

"Oh? They don't come to see you?" Monsters like to deliberately sprinkle salt on their wounds.

"I don't care if I come to see it or not. They are all going to be buried anyway. Why bother them?"

"But that day I saw you sitting alone in the yard." Ji Xuan affirmed, "You are very lonely."

He was attracted by that kind of loneliness to meet such an old human being.

"As you get older, of course you will think about things." Mrs. Zhang said, "But I have someone to accompany me, and my daughter has always been with me." She touched an iron box hanging on her body and smiled broadly. wrinkled face. "It would be nice to have a girl with me all the time."

Ji Xuan suddenly felt a kind of unreasonable discouragement. He clearly felt the obvious loneliness in this elderly woman, but no matter how he incited her, he couldn't make her admit her loneliness, and even had a feeling that he wanted to avoid it. open feelings.

Monsters hate positive emotions, no, monsters other than Wang Chen.

Ji Xuan decided to leave first and go to business after having a moderate slump at Mrs. Zhang's place.He didn't come to the imperial capital to play games with this human being.

"Leave?" Mrs. Zhang asked, "Are you still coming tomorrow?"

Ji Xuan paused, "Come."

He'll keep coming until he doesn't see the emotion he wants from this human being.All demons know that Ji Xuan is actually a paranoid.

Leaving from the garage converted into a residence, His Highness Ji Xuan walked to the corner.

"come out."

No one knew who he was talking to, but the monster he summoned knew it.

A black shadow fell from the sky, half kneeling in front of Ji Xuan.

"Your Highness."

Ji Xuan looked at him, "He let you come back?"

"Yes, Your Highness. That one asked me to bring a message back."

Ji Xuan waited silently.

"He said he'd give you a punch sooner or later."

Ji Xuan sneered, "Okay, let's see if he has the ability."

Bai Fei followed behind him, watching Ji Xuan's shadow slowly fade away, he also spread his wings, flew up to the sky with a bang, and disappeared.

Wang Chen, who was judged by Ji Xuan as having no ability, actually has some doubts about his own ability now.

He thought he was first discovered by William because of his ability to use time, but in recent days, he had no chance to use this ability at all, that is to say, this ability may not have increased.As for other abilities about monsters, after all, he only recently started to master them, and he must be at the bottom level among many candidates.

From this point of view, if it is only about the power of magic to snatch the throne, he seems to be the one with the least chance of winning?

The young candidate was standing in the boiling water room with a kettle in his hand, deeply depressed.

"Xiao Wang, why are you in a daze here?"

Xu Shen came over and patted him on the shoulder intimately. "Are you still used to courts these few days during your internship?"

"Fortunately, I was not used to it at first." Because there are so many emotions here, he almost couldn't help but start several times.

"It got better later." He was finally able to restrain himself and eat in moderation without being noticed.

"I've gotten used to it now." Wang Chen concluded.

Xu Shen said: "The court is like this, there are all kinds of people and things every day, just get used to it."

"That's right, Xu Shen."

Wang Chen suddenly remembered something, "The last time Zhang Ruhai sued his mother, how is it now?"

"The court hasn't started yet, and a subpoena has just been issued these days." Xu Shen looked at him, "Xiao Wang, I know you young people may be a little bit outraged by this kind of case. But the reality is like this, how many people like this every day? case? All we can do is try to reconcile the conflicts between the two parties."

"And this piece of Ruhai is also a poor man."

Wang Chen's ears trembled, "Poor?"

Chief judge Xu sighed, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, who doesn't worry about it? In our business, sometimes we can see too clearly, and life is meaningless." He didn't say anything to Wang Chen. Zhang Ruhai was so pitiful, he just shook his head and left.

"By the way, Xiao Wang! The kettle is already full, so don't fill it any more. If it breaks, you have to go to the logistics to ask for it again. It's very troublesome!" Xu Shen's original lofty image was completely ruined by this sentence before leaving.

Wang Chen looked down at the dangling kettle in his hand, silently poured out the water in it, and filled it again.

In the evening, when he returned to his residence, he made a request to William. "I want to ask for leave tomorrow."

Liu Tao was startled, Zhou Zimu was taken aback.When did the young master apply for approval from William when he went out?

Although they all understood that in the final analysis, William was the one with the most say in their party, but on the surface, Wang Chen was more dignified.As for things like going out, Wang Chen has always been free to do as he pleases.

"I want to ask for a day off from tomorrow's internship." Wang Chen added, "I want to see someone."

William packed up the tableware in his hand, "I'll help you arrange it tonight."

"No, I decided to go and see the two of them." Wang Chen thought for a while and said, "You don't have to come with me."

"...Yes, Your Highness."

Seeing William's obedience, Wang Chen went back to his room contentedly.He felt that since there was no news about Ji Xuan yet, if there was news, he couldn't do anything about that guy for the time being, so he might as well have some fun by himself first.For example, Zhang Ruhai's family, which he is very interested in at present.

Hope tomorrow is a good day.

Last quote:

That night, Zhang Zixuan was texting with his girlfriend, happily planning their future life.

Zhang Ruhai was sleeping on the bed, but he couldn't close his eyes no matter what. When he closed his eyes, he looked like a bloody elder sister.

Mrs. Zhang fell asleep early, holding a rusty iron box tightly in her hand.

Under the same sky, people have different dreams.

The night is coming, will tomorrow be sunny?
