"Don't you think about it? What kind of world is this? Where can we get meat to eat? I think this is almost true." The woman with dry yellow hair glanced at the other women and continued, "I am only telling you this because I have a good relationship with you. You should be careful in the future, especially those who have children. It is said that these beasts only target the elderly, women and children, and they especially like children because their meat is tender."
The women were still It was a little hard to believe. The woman with dry yellow hair was a little anxious: "I'm telling you, don't take it lightly. If you don't believe it, go ask around. I heard that those people also sold the meat that they couldn't finish eating, but it's not easy to say it's human flesh. They even gave it a special name, called fragrant meat!"
Gao Yun stumbled towards her residence, her head was buzzing, and the voices of those women kept ringing in her ears from time to time.
No wonder! No wonder no matter how she asked, Liu Ming refused to tell her the origin of the meat.
No wonder! No wonder Liu Ming, who didn't have any great skills, could bring meat home every day for her to eat.
When she thought of the taste and texture of the fragrant meat, and the words of the woman with dry yellow hair, she could no longer hold back. She put her fingers into her mouth and dug them into her throat desperately. She bent down and tried to induce vomiting, wanting to spit out all the meat she had eaten. However, even if her throat was sore from digging, she couldn't vomit.
People on the street looked at Gao Yun like she was a lunatic and stayed away from her.
She returned to her residence in a daze and fell headfirst onto the bed. She felt dizzy and her mind was full of thoughts: "What should I do? I actually ate human flesh!" "Am I still a human being? I actually ate human flesh!"
In the evening, Liu Ming came back and took out two large pieces of "fragrant meat" from his arms with a happy face . He said to Gao Yun, who was lying on the bed in a daze: "Yun'er, get up quickly. I brought back the fragrant meat you like to eat."
The smell of the two pieces of "fragrant meat" filled the small room. Gao Yun smelled this familiar fragrance, and her two unfocused eyes looked straight at the meat in Liu Ming's hand. She suddenly jumped up from the bed, rushed to Liu Ming, grabbed the two pieces of meat and threw them out. Then she bent down again and vomited desperately. She didn't want to eat this meat anymore.
Liu Ming was shocked by Gao Yun's action. What on earth was this woman crazy about? Before he could ask, Gao Yun started to cry and blame him.
"Brother Ming, why do you want to hurt me like this? Why?" Gao Yun felt disgusted when she thought of the things she had eaten.
Liu Ming listened to Liu Ming's words, and then thought of Gao Yun's actions just now, and he understood it all at once. It turned out that she already knew the truth. However, he didn't think he was hurting her. If it weren't for these delicious meats, they would have starved to death long ago.
"Why? Why did you feed me those things? You clearly knew what kind of meat it was, why did you eat it? Why did you bring it back for me to eat?" Gao Yun shouted at the top of her lungs.
Liu Ming looked calm, he looked at Gao Yun: "Yun'er, I don't want to do this, but I can't just watch you starve to death!"
"I'd rather starve to death than eat that!" Gao Yun said hurriedly. "Now, whenever I think about the fact that I ate human flesh, I feel sick. I am even more afraid that if others knew that I ate these things, would they kill me? If I ate those things, I would be punished by God!"
"Yun'er, don't worry, no one will know. Even if they do, what will happen? Many people eat it secretly now, and it's not just the two of us. As for the punishment from God, I don't believe in it. Could it be worse than now?" Liu Ming coaxed softly.
"Yes, yes." Gao Yun grabbed her hair in pain. She could never get over the hurdle in her heart.
"Yun'er, don't worry. Even if there is really a destiny, let me shoulder it alone. You don't know anything and no one will blame you. Don't worry." Liu Ming held Gao Yun in his arms and comforted her gently.
Gao Yun's nerves, which had been tense for a day, relaxed at once and she couldn't control her tears.
It took Liu Ming a long time to comfort her. After she fell asleep, he went out to look for the two pieces of meat that Gao Yun had thrown out. However, there was no trace of meat outside the door. It was estimated that it was picked up by someone living nearby.
He didn't care if he couldn't find the meat. Fortunately, he had eaten some when he came back, so he didn't feel hungry at this time. As for whether the person who took the two pieces of meat would tell the matter, Liu Ming was not worried at all. He believed that at this time when everyone was in danger and everyone wanted to survive, no one could resist the temptation of the meat, just like he did at that time.
Looking at Gao Yun who was sleeping uneasily on the bed, Liu Ming sneered twice. When she was starving to death, she would not care whether the meat was edible.
In the next few days, Liu Ming would still bring back some fragrant meat every day. In the first two days, Gao Yun felt nauseous and vomited whenever she smelled the smell.
But as time went by, on the third day, Gao Yun became more and more hungry. After seeing the fragrant meat, her attitude slowly changed. Although she still looked resistant, it was no longer the same as at the beginning.
On the fourth day, Gao Yun was so hungry that she felt dizzy. When she saw the meat Liu Ming brought back, a trace of struggle flashed across her face.
Liu Ming took the meat, walked to Gao Yun's bedside, and handed the meat to Gao Yun.
She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to take the meat, but when she stretched it out halfway, she retracted it as if she was frightened.
"No, I don't want to eat it, you take it!" Gao Yun said breathlessly.
Liu Ming said softly: "Yun'er, eat some, otherwise you won't be able to hold on. Eat it, so you can survive. No one will know about this, you don't have to blame yourself, you are just trying to survive. Eat it."
Gao Yun was just forcing herself to eat. She was not willing to starve herself to death, but she didn't have a reason to convince herself. Now, Liu Ming's words gave her the most legitimate reason. She did this just to survive.
Liu Ming put the meat in Gao Yun's hand, then pulled her hand and put the meat to her mouth. As long as she opened her mouth, she could eat it.
Gao Yun hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally opened her mouth, bit off a piece of meat, and chewed desperately. Tasting the familiar taste in her mouth, she sobbed. She didn't want to eat, but she didn't want to die even more.
Liu Ming sneered silently and patted Gao Yun's shoulder gently: "Don't cry, we are just trying to survive."
