Chapter 31 Hundred Eyes Cave (on)

The old sheepskin drank the delicious fish soup, the whole person seems to have changed into a hungry ghost crawling out of hell, fear that others and he competed for food, put me and fat man pushed aside, he held the remaining half pot of fish soup, one hand with a horse spoon to scoop up the soup, the other hand only under the pot into the hot fish, two hands like water to the mouth to send the things, it seems that his mouth has become a bottomless pit, no matter how much fish soup eat How much fish, are not filled, but the fish meat and fish soup is after all tangible and qualitative things, the old sheepskin ate too much, the stomach swollen bulging, nostrils are outwardly anti-white fish soup.

I and the fat man, Ding Si sweet three people look at each other, are looking dumb, see can eat, but did not fucking see so can eat, the fat man to see the heart jumping, and one after another with the old sheepskin, said: “give us to stay a little, give us to stay a little bit of ……” Ding Si sweet vaguely aware of the Not good, single she does not know exactly what happened, she forcefully tugged my arm a hand: “The old sheepskin grandpa he …… him exactly what is wrong? He’s going to die if he eats again.”

My arm was Ding Si sweet a tug, which woke up to taste, just now really look at the old sheepskin hungry ghost-like eating look silly, this pot of fish soup must have a problem, is the grassland is regarded as the God of the sky fish really can not eat? Eat will become obsessed with the same, eat until death?

Look at the old sheepskin to put himself to death, I have no time to think about it, go over and grab the old sheepskin after the collar, his belly swollen like a drum, as if at any time may be cracked through, I worry about the force, will hurt his internal organs, just gently grabbed him by the collar, pull him backward, and then let the fat man grabbed his hands of the horse spoon, the old sheepskin has lost his mind, the mouth in the nose are choking out the fish soup! The old sheepskin had lost his mind, and was choking fish soup out of his mouth and nose, and when I pulled him backward he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and not knowing what was happening.

I thought fortunately drinking fish soup, rub his stomach, spit out some from his mouth, and then put a mao, material to be no big deal, but just raised his eyes and found that the fat man is using a horse spoon to fish fish soup, his mouth and Ding Sisiang chanting: “Is this soup really so fresh? Let the poor peasants drink it and can’t stop their mouths, I’ll try it …… too.”

I was afraid that Fatty would make the same mistake as Old Sheepskin, I hurriedly lifted my foot and kicked the hot pot over, the rest of the fish soup all splashed on the ground, I said to Fatty and Ding Sisiang: “This soup can’t be drunk, if you drink it, you’ll become a hungry ghost.” Dinsi sweet rubbed the belly for the old sheepskin and said, “Yes, I see the old sheepskin grandpa seems to be the more he drinks the hungrier he gets, obviously his stomach is full, but he seems to not feel it at all, the more he drinks the more he wants to drink, it seems that the shepherds on the barren left grassland never eat fish, there is indeed a reason for it.”

I regret that I let the old sheepskin first drink the first mouth of fish soup, at that time we simply could not understand the secret of this, only feel that this foggy forest, just like that legend about a demon dragon here, everywhere is permeated with weird and scary, let a person is difficult to understand, many years later, I enlisted in the army to Lanzhou, only to know that in the Loess Plateau, there is a kind of rare black fish, this kind of blackfish is fat and less thorns, used to simmering soup This kind of black fish is fat and spiny, used to make soup, delicious, anyone taste a mouthful, will become with the hungry ghosts, the more you eat the more hungry, the more you eat the more you want to eat, have been eating to bloat to death, about this terrible blackfish, there are many legends, some say that these fish are starvation in the famine when the living starved to death of the people into the blackfish is said to be the river’s dragons and descendants of the dragon, who ate who will be cursed.

Later, with the increasingly bright science, I just learned that the original blackfish contains a kind of anesthetic, the reason why humans will feel hungry and full, are due to the human brain in the inferior optic mound, there is a section of the “refusal to eat the nerve”, the blackfish in a certain ingredient, just can paralyze this piece of nerve, so that the people feel hungry intolerable, once eat up, can no longer control their appetites. Once eaten, one can no longer control one’s appetite. From ancient times to the present, the people who died because of it are hard to count.

At that time, in the dense forest of “Hundred Eyes Cave”, we probably cooked this black fish soup by mistake, but at that time we didn’t know the reason, we just felt bad, this fish soup is never to touch.

The old sheepskin swollen belly coma, looks like a moment and a half to wake up, and he swelled like this, there is no way to move him, once the intestines burst, in the middle of nowhere, no medicine, we can only watch him die.

Looking at the splash of fish soup and is eating grass of the old army horse, I and fat man, Ding Si sweet three people are worried, this pool of fish is too strange, certainly can not eat, but the hunger, really hard to get through, it is hard to envy the old horse, in the grasslands everywhere grass, casually gnawing on the hunger, which is like a person to eat something so troublesome.

Now we have to wait for the old sheepskin to recover, and then go to find something else to fill the hunger, the night fog in the forest gradually faded down, can vaguely see the sky’s faint stars and moon, in addition to the fish in the pool can not eat, but did not see what danger, quietly around, three people around the fire, want to chat a few words, by distraction, to relieve the hunger in the belly fire torment, but not two sentences, the topic shifted to eat something! We fully recalled every meal we had ever eaten, and we had traveled half of China when we were in the big string, from Beijing’s roast duck, Tianjin’s dog-negative buns, Xi’an’s mutton bubble film, Lanzhou’s ramen, recalling one meal at a time, recalling one mouthful at a time.

Three people are talking about eating talk into, but listen to the rats behind the touch of the shivering ringing, we hurriedly turned around to look, the original splash in the side of the small half pot of fish soup, as well as fish inside the fish head, attracted a few fat mole, these guys really can be a slandering, can not resist the temptation of the taste of the blackfish, not to worry about the nearby people have a fire, and even boldly to come to steal food, holding the ground is chewing pieces of fish kindly.

I see these mole fat, skin light hair bright, they are commonly known as “big eye thief”, usually live in the grasslands under the loess hole, in the forest in the dry place can also occasionally see, the body shape than the wild rat is much more obese, it is the field of delicious, and quickly make a gesture to let the fat man and ding si sweet do not make a sound, and casually pick up a fist-thick trunk, aimed at one of the The largest one, a muffled stick smashed out, that big-eyed thief greedy fish fresh, it is like the old sheepskin eat delirious, did not dodge, was smashed into a square.

Fatty also jumped up, wheeled a thick tree stick with me to beat the rat, in a moment there were seven or eight fat rats killed in the mess under the stick, the three rejoiced, and hurriedly hand roasted rats to eat meat, each big-eyed thieves are about the same size as the smallest one of the rabbits, a baked ZiZhi oil, Ding SiShiShan began to be a little uneasy: “In case the big-eyed thieves are also the same as the blackfish, people eat it to become hungry ghosts how to do? ”

I said to Ding Si-Tian: “The grassland is not allowed to eat big-eyed thief legend, not many herdsmen in the fall caught the fattest big-eyed thief as rations, I think it should not be a big problem.” Between words, the fat man there has already gnawed off half of the roasted half-life big-eyed thief, I and Ding Sis-Tang is still a little worried, try to eat some, found no difference, this is to rest assured to eat.
