Extra: 076: The Difference Between Humans and Animals
No matter how young and ignorant I am, I still have my own persistence and my own bottom line. Even if I die, some principles cannot be shaken, such as eating different foods.
Although I don't know the sufferings of the people, at this time, I already know that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans do not eat their own kind...
If you can eat even the same kind of food, is that still a human being?
What's the difference between that and an animal?
The meat on the ground was very fragrant and he was very hungry, but he still walked away without hesitation without even taking a second look.
"This guy has some backbone." The four big men didn't go too far, but kept watching the Nine Emperors Uncle in the dark.
After all, it is the child who has been told to pay special attention to by his superiors. No matter what, he cannot be allowed to die now. He has to survive for a few days before he can be worthy of the instructions from his superiors.
"Spine? What is that thing? Can it be eaten? Don't forget that we just came here and it was the same. When I was very hungry, let alone eating human flesh, I could even eat myself." The man known as Corpse Three,
He spat, still disdainful of Uncle Nine Emperors' actions.
The short and thin man he attacked nodded in agreement: "A proud man cannot be eaten as food. If he doesn't eat now, he will only suffer for two more days. When he is so hungry that he can even chew dirt, he will find that besides eating human flesh, he
, there is no choice.”
Do you think they are born to eat human flesh?
But there is no choice.
Human flesh is disgusting when you eat it for the first time, but once you get used to it, it doesn't matter. What's the difference between it and pork or fish?
Since there is no difference, what do you care about?
It is better to eat other people's flesh than to be eaten or starve to death...
The four big men no longer stared at Uncle Nine Emperors. After all, they didn't take the Nine Emperors Uncle as a child at all. If there really was something wrong, no one would say they were wrong. Anyway, as long as they didn't do it and kill people.
If you eat it, there will be no problem...
But these four big men didn't know that Uncle Nine Emperors hadn't gone far at all. After he ran out, he quietly turned back and listened to what the four big men said. At the same time, he also understood that in this place, there was no other food except human flesh, unless
He would rather starve to death, otherwise...
Besides human flesh, he can only eat himself.
This would definitely be a fatal blow to a seven-year-old child. If he were like an ordinary child, he might really eat human flesh on the ground due to hunger and reality, but he is not...
He couldn't eat his companions, he couldn't sell his soul completely, the feeling was too uncomfortable, like gouging out the heart.
Uncle Nine Emperors looked up at the sky. His calm eyes did not light up. The bright sky could not shine into his heart. He knew that he was in a desperate situation, but...
"Father, whether this is a test you gave me or not, I regard it as a test. I, Dong Lingjiu, swear to God that I will not eat human flesh even if I die!"
I can't live like a walking zombie. If he doesn't have any principles, is he still the same person?
There is no food and no one around. It is not easy for a seven-year-old child to survive in this place, let alone...
Before leaving the palace, he never knew what it meant to find food.
He didn't know anything about eating. There were many trees and fruits in this place. The red colors looked very attractive, but...
Those four big men would rather eat human flesh than these fruits. Does that mean these fruits are inedible?
He is not a fool, he has his own thinking ability, but when he is extremely hungry, no matter how sensitive his brain is, he cannot function. He has no strength. He must find food, otherwise he will not survive...
There was no hesitation. Even though he had guessed that these fruits were most likely poisonous, he still didn't hesitate to do it.
Red, black... purple!
He knew from the book that the brighter the fruit, the more poisonous it is, so now...
He ate all the most poisonous fruits. If he was really going to die from the poison, it would be a bad life for him, but he had to survive...
From now on, he won't have to be afraid of these poisonous fruits, right?
Life in the palace made him understand that poison is not that terrible in fact. There is no such thing as poison that can seal one's throat at the sight of blood. As long as he finds poisons that are mutually reinforcing and incompatible, he can survive even being poisoned.
He knew it was poisonous but ate it without hesitation. Only he could do such a stupid thing, right?
Uncle Nine Emperors laughed at himself, but he didn't regret it at all...
There is always a little persistence in a person's life. Even if he is still weak now, he doesn't want to take it as an excuse and live in confusion...
People who live soberly suffer, he understood this at a very young age, but no matter how painful it is, he is not willing to live in confusion for the rest of his life.
The bright fruits are poisonous, but they taste very good and are not sour at all. Moreover, eating them warms the stomach and suppresses the sourness in the stomach.
Knowing that these fruits are poisonous, Uncle Nine Emperors would not eat just one kind. He would mix all the fruits together and eat them. He did not understand medical science, so he could only bet that his illness should not be cured, but...
His gambling luck doesn't seem to be very good.
Before he finished eating the fruit, he felt a cramping pain in his abdomen. The pain...he couldn't describe it in words. It was like a thousand knives were cutting the flesh in his body into pieces, and every part was like a needle.
Stinging pain.
"ah……"
The severe pain made Uncle Nine Emperors unable to hold on any longer. He rolled on the ground holding his belly, and the sweat beads on his forehead fell one by one...
"Father, Father..." A wave of pain that was stronger than the previous wave caused Uncle Jiuhuang's body to convulse uncontrollably, like a patient suffering from epilepsy, his body was twitching and rolling...
"Father, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
Uncle Jiuhuang's thin body curled up into a ball, his face was not white, but blue, or even purple-black...
This is poisoning, and the poisoning is very deep.
"Father...Father."
Every corner of his body was hurting. Uncle Nine Emperors' consciousness was no longer clear. He had no idea what he was doing and could only rely on instinct...
"Father, Jiu'er doesn't want to die, doesn't want to..."
Uncle Nine Emperors was rolling on the ground in pain. At this moment, he would rather faint from the pain, but the severe pain made even fainting a luxury.
In order to relieve the pain, Jiuhuangshu pinched himself hard, but the bleeding did not improve. Compared with the severe pain caused by poisoning, this pain was like a drop in the bucket.
The pain... was like maggots, penetrating deep into the bone marrow and lingering. The Nine Emperors Uncle had already been stabbed with sharp body and was dripping with blood. By the time the four big men found the Nine Emperors Uncle, the Nine Emperors Uncle had fainted and died in a pool of blood.
"This boy is brave enough to eat this thing." The four big men were quite surprised, but they were not worried because they knew that these fruits were poisonous, but they were not poisonous to death. They would only make people suffer from pain and fainting. Back then...
…
They also ate it.
"Drag him back." Corpse San had no expression on his face. He dragged Uncle Nine Emperors by one of his legs and threw him into the room made of bones and human corpses.
In this place, the most indispensable thing is dead people, so it is normal for these things to be in the room. These big men have long been used to it. Even if they are rotten, they will not clean them up and just step on them.
In this place, only grown men and children can move around. There are also women, but the role of women is to have fun. Women here don't need to wear clothes or know how to do things. They just need to eat enough and open their legs...
After throwing Uncle Nine Emperors on the bed, the four big men didn't care about Uncle Nine Emperors anymore. They knew that the child would not die, but they didn't know what would happen tomorrow...
Uncle Nine Emperors woke up again, three days later, and found that he was still in that room, but the smell in the room was even worse.
Unlike the last time, Uncle Nine Emperors was not frightened. He calmly jumped out of bed and checked his condition. He found that except for trauma, he had no problems. And this trauma?
He ignored it completely.
Glancing at the blood on the ground, Uncle Nine Emperors' eyes dimmed, and then he walked out calmly.
When he escaped yesterday, he found a pool of water. It is necessary to clean it now...
After cleaning, Jiu Huangshu thought for a while and went back to the room to clean out the things in the house.
If there are no accidents, he should live there in the short term. In order to make himself sleep more comfortably, those body parts must be cleared away. As for the bone bed?
It was scary the first time he saw it, but after sleeping on it for two nights, he was able to deal with it calmly...
He is a small man and has little strength. Uncle Nine Emperors spent a lot of effort to clean the house, but his actions attracted the ridicule of four big men: "He is indeed a noble young man."
"If you just can't stand it, how will you survive the subsequent training?"
"Training? Whether he can survive to train is difficult. Those medicines are not something ordinary people can bear. So many people are given to him every year. There are only a few who can survive to train, and not all of them are taken by our brothers.
"
The four big men never shy away from Uncle Nine Emperors when they talk, but Uncle Nine Emperors never speaks when he hears them. He is as calm as a little adult, hiding all his emotions in his eyes, which are as clear as children of the same age, but yet
Lost in the bright eyes.
It turns out that this is not the hardest part, there are more to come?
The long eyelashes blinked lightly, and the uneasiness in the eyes...
While the four big men were roasting meat and eating, the hungry Uncle Nine Emperors did not stay still. Instead, as before, he went to pick those bright and poisonous fruits that could fill his stomach.
One by one...
Uncle Nine Emperors did not waste it. He only picked as many as he ate last time.
Although there are many fruits, he doesn't know how long he will stay here. His future life will depend on these fruits...
Having learned the lesson from the last time, Uncle Nine Emperors did not eat it outside the house. Instead, he wrapped the fruit and brought it back to the house. He sat on the bed made of bones. Uncle Nine Emperor Emperor looked at the fruit in front of him, with only determination on his young face.
, not a trace of timidity or fear...
He can endure the pain. As long as he doesn't die, he is willing to bear it over and over again. The pain is like a knife twisting...
