Chapter 476 Chapter 54: Beauty and Flesh

Sister Si carefully scrutinized the old woman's appearance.The old woman had a wooden comb with a few teeth missing in her head, and she was unkempt, and she was holding a kerosene lamp in her hand.The lamp had a glass shade from which thick, underburned smoke rose, making the lamp in her hand look like a cuttlefish about to flee.Dou Da's lights are erratic.The old lady's face also became erratic under the light. "That..." Sister Si looked around, not knowing where she was at all, if there was a familiar road in front of her, she would absolutely not want to stay here any longer. "I'm lost……"

"Oh, come in." The old woman wriggled her dry mouth, turned around and walked into the house. Sister Si became a little timid, thinking that an old woman with this appearance is simply like an old witch. At this moment, the old woman stopped suddenly, turned around, sneered, showing her golden teeth, and said to Sister Si: "Are you thinking that this old woman is sloppy and looks like an old witch?" Sister Si was taken aback, and thought: "She's just ugly, so she shouldn't eat me up while I'm lost?" The old woman smiled, and the lights danced on her ravine face.Her mouth leaked a little and said: "Now you are thinking in your heart whether I will eat you, don't you?"

Sister Si turned pale with fright. The old woman laughed and said, "You guessed right. Not long in front of you, another person came to me. I originally planned to eat that person, but now I look at you, I changed my mind. Your meat must be Much tastier than that man's meat, I bet." Sister Si wanted to turn around and run away, but at this moment her feet didn't obey orders. The old woman frowned and said, "You want to run away? It's already too late. As soon as you talk to me, you'll fall into my trap and you won't be able to escape." come in."

Sister Si seemed to have thought of her own feet, she lifted them obediently, and followed the old woman step by step toward the depths of the house. Walking to the center of the room, Sister Si saw a large pot with a diameter of two meters, with firewood burning at the bottom and boiling water in the pot.Miss Si was very anxious.Could it be that the old woman boiled such a big pot of water just to boil me? The old woman nodded and said, "You guessed right. I don't like to eat raw food like a wild animal." Sister Si actually saw Auntie beside the pot.Auntie was tied up with a straw rope and was unconscious.Si Jie yelled anxiously: "Mom, Mom..."

Aunt's eyes were closed tightly, and she didn't move at all. The old woman smiled and said: "So you are mother and daughter. Either way, I cook the two of you together, and I have a companion on the road to Huangquan. Don't be lonely like an old woman like me." Saying that, the old woman came from the corner He picked up a few sticks of firewood and threw them into the fire.The firewood crackled immediately, and the fire intensified.The boiling water in the pot is tumbling. It's over, it's over.I'm afraid I'm going to be this old hag's broth.Miss Si was terrified.When Xu Qin mentioned that there is a mountain grandma in the mountains, I still didn't believe it. I didn't expect to run into it immediately.What a disaster.

"What's the bad luck?" The old lady stared at Sister Si with cold eyes, "Except for a little boy who came here ten years ago, no one else has the opportunity to come to me. You are lucky." Sister Si remembered an incident ten years ago.At that time, a few playmates came to Linchang Mountain to play hide-and-seek, and when they were about to go home in the evening, one of Sister Si's playmates was missing.At that time, they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the lost person had returned home early.But after returning home, the parent of that playmate came and asked why his child hadn't come back yet.Now the few people panicked and hurried to look for it near Linchang Mountain.They found the moon and came out, but there was no sign of the playmate.A few days later, a bone appeared in the place where they had played peek-a-boo...

The old woman saw through Sister Si's thoughts, nodded and admitted: "That's what I did. I haven't tasted human flesh for more than ten years. I ate a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables, and today I can finally eat meat again." Sister Si felt a convulsion in her heart. "In our eyes, human flesh is divided into grades. Among them, the flesh of the elderly is called 'Raobahuo', which means that this kind of human flesh is old and needs more fire; the flesh of children is called 'Hegulan', which means It is said that the meat of children is tender, and the meat and bones are overcooked when cooked. Neither of these two kinds of meat is to my liking. The meat of young women is called "buxianyang", which means that the taste of this kind of people is better than that of mutton .” The old woman licked her lips, salivating. "I'm going to have a taste of 'Bu Xian Yang' today."

The old lady sized up the shivering sister Si, squeezed out an ugly smile, and said, "You look good, you can say that you are a beauty. There are many ways for us to eat beautiful women. Some of them put beautiful women in a big vat inside and outside with fire until the beauties are cooked; some put the beauties on an iron rack and roast them with fire underneath, like kebabs; some bind the hands and feet of the beauties and pour boiling water on them, Then use a bamboo broom to brush off the bitter skin on the outer layer of the beautiful woman's body, and then cut off the muscle to cook and eat; Pickle it, and eat it as you like; some just cut off the two legs of the beautiful woman, or cut off only the two breasts of the beautiful woman, and throw away the rest. Which do you like?"

Sister Si took a few steps back: "I..." The old lady waved her hand without waiting for her to finish, and said, "I don't like to be so troublesome. I usually just throw people into the pot and cook them. I didn't know how to cook when I was alive, and I threw any dish into boiling water. Cook. That’s why my son and daughter-in-law always say that the dishes I cook are not tasty.” The old woman threw a few more firewood under the pot. When Sister Si heard her talking about her son and daughter-in-law, an idea flashed in her head.She hastily interjected: "Grandma, where do your son and daughter-in-law live? I used to come here to play peek-a-boo when I was young. Maybe I used to be good friends with your son and daughter-in-law." Sister Si wanted to borrow Favors let the old woman let her go.

Sure enough, the old woman's expression changed, and her tone became more friendly: "My son's surname is Mo, and my daughter-in-law's surname is Chen. Do you know each other?" Miss Si was taken aback.Because there is no family with the surname "Mo" here, but she has heard legends about the Mo family. In the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Li Dingguo, the general of the Nanming Dynasty, led his troops to attack Baling. The food in the city was exhausted, and the defenders of the Qing army killed the residents for food.There was a family named Mo whose son was arrested and served as a soldier, and died in battle.The daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law depended on each other for life, and the guard wanted to kill and eat her mother-in-law. The daughter-in-law Chen kowtowed and begged to die for her mother-in-law. The guard said, "What a filial and good daughter-in-law!" and agreed to her request.The mother-in-law cried and said: "My son has already died in the battle for you. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I won't let my Mo family die. I beg the general to keep my daughter-in-law. I am half buried. , What's the use of being alive? Please eat me!"

The guard said impatiently: "You have old bones, and they don't taste good." So he cooked the Mo family's daughter-in-law, and gave her bones to her mother-in-law to take home for burial.Baling County was besieged for eight months, and the defenders killed nearly 10,000 people, most of them women and children.Some small clans have been extinct since then, including the Mo family, which originally had only a dozen households. After the war, the mother-in-law of the Mo family met a Qing army guard on the road one day, and knelt down to worship him.The guard was surprised and asked: "Why do you worship me?" The mother-in-law said: "My daughter-in-law and grandson are buried in your belly, and they don't have a grave. Where do you go to worship when you bow down on your stomach?"
