Chapter 464: Eating Human Flesh
Soon, the old man who was cooking noodles over there immediately gave Wang Cuihua a bowl of noodles and brought it to her.
He turned back to look at Su Muyao and said, "Little girl, I will serve this bowl of noodles to her first. Please wait a moment and I will treat you to this bowl of noodles today."
This time, Su Muyao nodded and replied: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Wang Cuihua, who was standing by, heard this and snorted coldly.
"You are sensible, hum!"
Then he started to suck it up in big gulps.
Just when Su Muyao's noodle soup came up, the old lady wiped her mouth and left.
Until the old lady left, the couple sat at the next table and sighed.
"I am sorry for you, old man. She has come here so many times, alas."
Su Muyao asked curiously, "Boss, why didn't the old lady pay for the noodles she ate just now?"
When the boss heard the girl ask this, he sighed and said, "You should leave now after eating your noodles. Don't come over here. It would be terrible if she stares at you."
When Su Muyao heard this, she looked very confused.
He suggested to the old lady beside him, "Girl, you don't know that the person just now is called Wang Cuihua.
She used to be a very nice girl, but later on she started to become weird.
She and I were good sisters when we were young, but the man she liked ended up marrying me, so she opposed me in every way.
My former spouse had passed away many years ago, but she still wouldn’t let me go.”
The boss standing by sighed when he heard his wife say this.
"Alas, old woman, I am sorry that I have no ability to let you suffer any injustice."
Then the old lady continued, "Later, there were droughts and locust plagues, and many people starved to death.
At that time, I had just married this old man and we had a child.
But my poor child hanged himself in order to keep my husband and I alive.
We both survived by eating grass roots, tree barks and Guanyin soil.
But Wang Cuihua was not a human being. She ate all her daughters at that time.
Not only that, he also secretly ate other people's children.
That’s why everyone in our area is afraid of their family. Plus, they have many sons. Even though she ate her daughters during the famine, she still has four sons!”
When Su Muyao heard this, her eyes widened.
It’s not that I haven’t heard of people eating each other during famine, but I’ve never heard of anyone eating their own children!
At this moment, the boss suddenly said, "Little girl, eat quickly and leave.
Wang Cuihua is not a good person. Children were often lost here in the past two years. I heard that her eldest son took those children away... and gave the meat to his own mother to eat.
Judging from the look on her face just now, she must have been eyeing you. She thought you were a little girl and knew she had bad intentions when she saw you.
But don't be afraid, girl. She may not be able to react for a while. Don't come here again in the future!"
Su Muyao just nodded when she heard this, but she had other plans in her mind.
Since this country has become part of a great dynasty, people with rotten roots like this should not exist.
Su Muyao ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. The noodles were very chewy.
He waited until he had almost finished eating the noodles, then took out a silver ingot from his sleeve.
"When grandma looks at you, she reminds me of my grandma at home. I really miss home!
Thank you for telling me all these things today. Take this money and buy some good things for yourself."
After saying this, Su Muyao turned and left.
The old lady behind wanted to catch up, but her steps were not as fast as the little girl's.
Soon the girl disappeared around the corner.
The old man watched his wife walk a few steps and then disappear into the distance with the little girl, then he came back with the silver ingot in his hand.
"Hey, that girl doesn't look like someone who is short of money, right?"
When the old lady heard her old man say this, she nodded.
After Su Muyao left this place, she chased in the direction where Wang Cuihua left.
Because time was delayed for too long, I have no idea where Wang Cuihua lives.
But I still inquired about them one by one.
Just as Su Muyao was checking, she heard a dispute between families.
Given Su Muyao's gossipy nature, how could she miss the opportunity to watch the fun?
They went straight to a big tree next to the yard of the family where the quarrel was taking place.
It turned out to be a small square courtyard, in which a man in his thirties or forties and a woman were pulling each other.
"Husband, do you really want to do this? If this is discovered, it will be a capital crime!"
"Let me go, what do you know?
As long as we can make our mother happy, the dowry she brings will definitely belong to our family in the future. Just think about it, I heard there is a jade bracelet in it."
When the woman heard her husband say this, her eyes rolled.
Indeed, I have always coveted my mother-in-law's dowry. I heard that before I got married, she saved a high-ranking official.
The person heard that her mother-in-law was about to get married, so she specially added some makeup to her.
Many people saw it at that time, and there were also high-quality jade bracelets inside.
They are all ordinary people, especially now that the economy is bad, and their families have no money saved.
It's not a big problem to just get enough food, but if you get sick or something, you might just have to wait to die.
But the woman seemed to remember something and finally sighed.
"In the past, during famine years, if my mother-in-law wanted to eat pork belly, she could eat as much as she wanted and no one would care.
But it’s different now. Everyone is keeping a close eye on their children. Besides, there aren’t that many dead children, especially those who have just died.”
Su Muyao was standing on the tree, and her body was shaking.
What's wrong with these people? Why do they always want to eat children?
This family doesn’t look like they can’t afford to eat, so why would the elderly in their family eat children?
The more he looked, the more something seemed wrong, especially when he saw the man's appearance, which was somewhat similar to Wang Cuihua he had just met.
Could this be Wang Cuihua’s son?
Just when Su Muyao was about to jump off the tree, a man came from not far away.
I saw the man holding a bowl with what looked like meat in it, but there were a lot of bloodstains on his shoes.
Looking at the man, he knocked on the door of the next yard.
As soon as the man knocked on the door, the woman in the yard patted her husband.
"Is it the second son's family who are coming to pick up mother-in-law?"
When the man heard his wife say this, he put on his shoes and walked out.
"Then what are you still standing there for?
If you ask him to be filial in everything, then all the good things will go to his house, hurry up."
