Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 33 Hundred Eyes Cave (Part [-])
After Lao Yangpi drank the delicious fish soup, he seemed to have turned into a hungry ghost crawling out of Abi Hell. He was afraid that others would compete with him, so he pushed me and the fat man aside, and took the rest of the food by himself. A pot of fish soup, with one hand scooping the soup with a horse ladle, and the other hand reaching down into the hot pot to scoop up the fish, both hands pouring food into his mouth like water, as if his mouth had become a A bottomless pit, no matter how much fish soup you drink, you can’t fill it up, but the fish meat and fish soup is a tangible thing after all, Lao Yangpi eats too much, his stomach is bulging, and his nostrils are turning white fish soup.

Fatty, Ding Sitian and I looked at each other in blank dismay, we were all stunned, we've seen something edible, but we've never seen anything so fucking edible, the fatty was terrified and kept saying to Lao Yangpi: "Give us Save some, save some for us..." Ding Sitian vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't know what happened, she pulled my arm vigorously: "Old sheepskin grandpa, he... what on earth is he doing?" Is it? If he eats it again, he will die."

My arm was pulled by Ding Sitian, and I just woke up. Just now I was dumbfounded by the old sheepskin eating like a hungry ghost. There must be something wrong with this pot of fish soup. Could it be that fish that are regarded as gods on the grasslands are really not edible? ?If you eat it, you will become obsessed and eat it until you die?

Seeing that Lao Yangpi was about to stretch himself to death, I had no time to think about it, so I walked over and grabbed Lao Yangpi's back collar, his belly was swollen like a drum, as if it might burst open at any time, I was worried that it would be useless If the strength is too great, it will hurt his internal organs, just gently grab his collar, pull him up, and then let the fat man grab the horse spoon in his hand, the old sheep has lost his mind, his mouth and nose They were all choking on the fish soup, and when I pulled them back, they lay down on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and their affairs were unknown.

I thought to myself that luckily what I drank was fish soup, so I rubbed his stomach, spit some out of his mouth, and put some bacon in it, and it would be fine, but when I looked up, I found that the fat man was using a ladle to fish it out. Fish soup, he was still talking to Ding Sitian: "Is this soup really so fresh? The poor and lower-middle peasants can't stop drinking it, I will try..."

I was afraid that the fat man would make the same mistakes as Lao Yangpi, so I quickly lifted my foot and kicked the hot pot over, and the rest of the fish soup was spilled on the ground. Hungry." Ding Sitian rubbed Lao Yangpi's belly and said, "Yeah, I think Grandpa Lao Yangpi seems to be getting hungrier as he drinks more and more, obviously his stomach is full, but he doesn't seem to feel it at all, the more The more I drink, the more I want to drink, it seems that there is a reason why the shepherds on the Barenzuo grassland never eat fish."

I regret that I let Lao Yangpi drink the first sip of fish soup first. At that time, we couldn't understand the secret of it. We just felt that in this misty forest, it was like the legend about a demon dragon here. They are all weird and scary, which makes people incomprehensible. Many years later, when I joined the army and went to Lanzhou, I found out that there is a rare black fish on the Loess Plateau. This kind of black fish is fat and less thorny. Once you taste it, you will become reincarnated like a hungry ghost. The more you eat, the hungrier you become, and the more you eat, the more you want to eat, until you die from fullness. There are many legends about this terrible black fish. It was transformed by people who starved to death during the famine, and some people say that the black fish is the son and grandson of the dragon in the river, and whoever eats it will be cursed.

Later, as science became more and more advanced, I realized that this black fish contains a kind of anesthetic. The reason why human beings feel hungry and full is because there is a section of "eating refusal nerve" in the hypothalamus of the human brain. A certain ingredient in black fish can just paralyze this nerve and make people feel unbearably hungry. Once they eat it, they can no longer control their appetite. From ancient times to the present, countless people have died of it.

At that time in the dense forest of the "Hundred Eyes Cave", we probably boiled this black fish into soup by mistake, but we didn't know the reason at all at that time, we just felt that it was not good, and this fish soup must never be touched.

Lao Yangpi was in a coma with a distended belly, and it seemed that he would not be able to wake up for a while, and he was so swollen that there was no way to move him. Once his intestines were ruptured, we could only watch helplessly in this wilderness with no medicine or medicine. Watching him die.

Looking at the fish soup splashed all over the floor and the old military horses grazing, Fatty, Ding Sitian and I were all frowning. The fish in this pool are too weird, we must not be able to eat them, but we are so hungry. It's really difficult to come up. At this time, it's inevitable that you will envy the old horse. There are grass everywhere on the grassland, and you won't be hungry if you gnaw casually. It's not as troublesome as eating.

Right now we have to wait for the old sheep to recover, and then find other things to satisfy our hunger. The night fog in the forest gradually fades, and we can vaguely see the dim stars and moons in the sky. Fortunately, except for the fish in this pool, we can’t eat them. There was no danger, and the surroundings were quiet. The three of them sat around the fire and wanted to chat a few words to distract their attention and ease the hunger in their stomachs. But after a few words, the topic changed to eating Yes, we have fully recalled every meal we have eaten. We have traveled half of China during the tandem, from Beijing’s roast duck, Tianjin’s Goubuli steamed buns, Xi’an’s mutton bubble wrap, Lanzhou’s ramen, and so on. Recalling suddenly, recalling mouthful.

The three of them were talking and eating, but they heard rattling noises behind them. We hurriedly looked back, and found that the small half pot of fish soup and the fish heads inside had attracted people. A few fat moles, these guys are really good at slander, they couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious smell of black fish, and they didn't care about the fire nearby, so they boldly came to steal food, holding the pieces of fish meat on the ground kind.

I saw these moles are fat, with shiny fur. They are commonly known as "big-eyed thieves". They usually live in loess holes under the grasslands, and can occasionally be seen in dry places in the forest. They are much fatter than voles. It's a delicacy in the wild. Hurry up and make a gesture to keep Fatty and Ding Sitian quiet, and casually picked up a fist-thick tree trunk, aimed at the biggest one, and smashed it out with a sap. The big-eyed thief was greedy for fresh fish, It was eating like an old sheepskin, and it was insane. It didn't dodge at all, and it was hit straight.

The fat man also jumped up, and took turns to beat the rats with the thick tree sticks with me. In an instant, seven or eight fat rats died under the messy sticks. They are all about the same size as a smaller rabbit, and Ding Sitian was a little worried at first, "What if the big-eyed thief is also like a black fish, and people will become hungry ghosts if they eat it?"

I said to Ding Sitian: "There is no legend that big-eyed thieves are not allowed to be eaten on the grasslands. Didn't many shepherds catch the fattest big-eyed thieves as rations in autumn? I don't think it's a big problem." While speaking, The fat man over there had already gnawed off half of the half-roasted big-eyed thief. Ding Sitian and I were still a little worried, so we tried to eat some and found that there was no difference, so we ate it with confidence.
