Chapter 26 Fragrant Broth
The wind blew, and the bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the dark corners of the farm.
Li Ruohan, Wen Meng and Fan Ze were so fat that it was impossible for them to climb over the high fence. They could only walk around the fence to find the exit of the gate and go out from there.
After walking around the fence for a while, they arrived at the bungalow where the pig monsters lived. To avoid being discovered by them, Xie Liang and the others turned off their flashlights and continued forward in the bright moonlight.
The fence gate was right next to the side of the bungalow, and they walked over carefully.
Scattered pieces of human tissue hung on the walls of the bungalow, including backs, chests, thighs, arms, and intestines floating in the wind.
Some of them looked fresh, with dark blood dripping down; others had been dried by the wind for a long time, with the skin on the surface wrinkled.
A gust of wind blew, and the swaying shadows of the trees in the courtyard began to move, casting shadows on the human body fragments on the wall, as if a ghost was lying on the corpse and gnawing on it, which made people's scalps tingle.
At this moment, a light came on in one of the bungalows and there was a rustling sound from inside. They were so scared that they quickly squatted down next to the fence.
A pig monster opened the door and walked out, standing at the door to urinate. It seemed that it was still asleep, and after urinating, it yawned and returned to the room.
After the pig monster went in, they walked lightly to the gate. Lu Bubu grabbed the chain with both hands and pulled hard, and the chain hanging on the gate broke. They hurried out one after another.
The crowd walked along the road and stopped only when they reached a safe place.
Some people in the team were too fat and had to stop and catch their breath after walking a few steps, so they didn't go very far even after walking for more than an hour.
After resting for a while, they walked along the road towards the market. When they reached Baihu's house, the sky was already slightly bright.
After a night of tossing and turning, everyone was exhausted.
After entering the house, the obese trio found a place to lie down in the spacious living room. Soon, they began to snore loudly.
There are two rooms next to the living room. Mu Jin and Lu Bubu live in one, and Xie Liang and Xu He live in the other.
It was already noon when Xie Liang woke up. When he got up, his stomach rumbled.
Xie Liang got up and walked out of the room and into the living room.
Lu Bubu and the obese trio were sitting on the cement floor of the living room, sighing.
Seeing Xie Liang coming out, Lu Bubu asked him, "Is there anything to eat?"
"No." Xie Liang said.
Lu Bu Bu continued to ask, "Do you know where you picked those fruits yesterday?"
"As far as I know... I know nothing..." Xie Liang said.
Lu Bubu looked at Xie Liang helplessly and said, "It's already late, and you're still in the mood to joke. Look at those three fat guys, they're all gnawing on the table legs."
"Eat meat." Xie Liang said.
Wen Meng was so hungry that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Where can I get the meat? I do have human flesh, but I don't dare to eat it!"
Li Ruohan hugged Lu Bubu's arms with both hands and said coquettishly: "Cousin, I'm hungry~"
"Man, can you please stop doing this? It gives me goosebumps!" Wen Meng looked at Li Ruohan with disgust.
Xie Liang looked at the three fat guys who were so hungry that they were gnawing on the table legs, frowned and said, "Brother He and I will go out to find something to eat. You guys wait here for us."
"Do you want to go together?" Lu Bubu asked.
"No need, just watch them here." Xie Liang said.
Xie Liang pulled Xu He out of the living room after he finished speaking. They did not leave the house, but leaned against the wall in the yard, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.
"There are no wild fruits like that here," said Xu He.
"Well, judging by how hungry the fat trio looked just now, even if we gave them wild fruits, it wouldn't satisfy their hunger much. Why not take the corpse of the white tiger from yesterday..."
"Yeah." Xu He responded in agreement.
The two came to the room where the white tiger's body was stored, and Xie Liang asked Xu He to cut the white tiger's body into several pieces.
He carried a large piece of the white tiger's body to the kitchen, cut off the more tender parts with a kitchen knife, cut it into slices, and then added some seasonings to make a pot of broth.
After it was done, Xie Liang smelled it and thought it was quite fragrant. He asked Xu He, who was leaning against the wall, "Do you want to eat it?"
Xu He looked at him, shook his head, and said, "No."
"Then I'll take it to them. We'll go to the road and wait to see if we can run into the big truck from yesterday." Xie Liang said as he poured the broth in the pot into several large iron bowls and took them out one after another.
In the living room, except for Xie Liang and Xu He, everyone else was sipping the broth made from white tiger meat, looking like they were enjoying it very much.
"If it's not enough, there's more in the pot." Xie Liang said to them.
"You two elder brothers are the real deal! I admire you guys, the food is so delicious..." Wen Meng mumbled while eating.
"That's right. Come on, little brother, have a piece." Lu Bubu said as he picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Xie Liang's mouth.
Xie Liang could only bite the bullet and open his mouth to hold the piece of meat. Lu Bubu saw that his expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong, brother? Is there something wrong with this meat?"
Wen Meng paused as he was about to sip his soup: "Could it be human flesh?"
Mu Jin's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she looked like she was about to vomit. Li Ruohan next to her also looked like she was about to cry.
Xie Liang smiled, chewed the meat twice and swallowed it. "Isn't human flesh sour? Do you think this meat is sour?"
Their expressions relaxed after hearing this, and they continued eating with peace of mind.
"Xu He and I are going to wait on the road to see if we can catch that big truck." Xie Liang said to Lu Bubu.
"I'll go with you." Lu Bubu said, drinking the remaining soup in the bowl in big gulps.
The three of them waited on the road until dark, but there was no sign of the truck.
"It seems that the car did not enter the village today to collect the people who were 'out of the market'." Lu Bubu said.
"Well, there may be living Adventers in other farms. Let's go and take a look nearby while it's still dark," said Xie Liang.
Lu Bubu shook his head. "It's too late. They must be too fat to walk. My cousin got so fat after just two meals of slop. I don't know how fat they are."
"I still want to go and take a look and see how the situation develops," said Xie Liang.
After searching for several farms, Xie Liang finally gave up.
The people held in other farms had become so fat and deformed that it was hard to tell which were the natives and which were the Adventists. They all looked like giant hippos, barely able to move.
No matter how Xie Liang called them, those people did not respond at all and just focused on sleeping. In the end, they could only leave in disgrace.
