The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 120: The two heavens in the other courtyard (middle)

"If the man you see is the man I thought of...what is it for?" Long Ji frowned tightly,

The tattered boy shook his feet and said, "Have you ever played a kaleidoscope."

The girl froze for a moment, "Kaleidoscope, of course, I have one in my room. There are various shapes and colors in it, and it looks beautiful."

"No, no, no." Long Chang shook his fingers, "There are no such high-class toys in the branch. I am talking about another kind of kaleidoscope. I caught a lot of scorpions, snakes, spiders, toads, centipedes and Gecko, throw them into a clay pot, and cover the pot with a transparent and breathable piglet, and you can clearly see the activities of these little bugs in it."

"Then, they will fight and eat each other." Long Ji curiously said,

"It's not that simple." The boy leaned in with great interest, looking at the girl beside him with dizzy and dim eyes like a dead man. "These little bugs are very hungry, but they will Hidden in a corner of each, there is no change for ten and a half months. What's the point? The fun part of the kaleidoscope is here. Just stick a branch through the hole of the pig's mucous membrane and gently move a small insect. Stabbed to death, the insects next to it came back to life at once. It may be because of the smell of the insects when they die or other reasons. In short, there will be war in the kaleidoscope. All kinds of insects bite, and the weak are bitten. It’s very interesting to tear it apart and eat it. It takes two full days to fight a fight. After two days, the surviving bugs may look like three-tenths. They will calm down and keep their distance from each other. Poke another small insect to death, and these insects will continue to fight until there are a few victors left. Sounds fun. I know there is a place under the southeast wall where large and fierce insects can be dug out. It's a pity You can't go over the dragon's spine, or we can make the best kaleidoscope together..."

Long Ji was stunned: "So, what will happen to the bugs that win the war in the end."

Long Chang replied: "The rule for making a kaleidoscope is to pour water in to kill the remaining bugs at the end. The surviving bugs will become very violent, and everyone will bite if they are poisonous. Now, people are accidentally killed by such insects. I heard that in the early days, someone used a kaleidoscope to refine poisonous insects, which could control the insects as a weapon. Now no one knows how to use this spell, but there is another thing called The "Bronze Tripod Kaleidoscope" is to use the winner insects in the kaleidoscope to fight each other. At this time, there will be a special person to buy the winner insects. The most expensive one, a golden claw praying mantis is sold for 15 years. The price is high, enough to replace it with white rice and eat it for a whole year. "

"You mean... this other courtyard is a kaleidoscope. Someone will continue to kill our brothers and sisters and let us fight each other." Long Ji opened her mouth in shock,

The boy opened his hand: "I didn't say that. I don't even know the words. How do you know what Western tricks your clan is doing? Why don't I tell you the secret of playing a kaleidoscope? When will I kill you? Insects cause struggles, but they are very particular about it. In the end, the quality of the victor insects has a lot to do with this technique. I wouldn’t say these words to ordinary people. When they cause a fight for the first time, the weakest insect should be killed first. It is for other insects to smell this smell."

Long Yi was hung on a flagpole and swayed in the wind, the small corpse was like a sly human-shaped flag,

"When the insects fought for a while, there were a lot of deaths and injuries, and the momentum faded a bit. At this time, there must be several pairs of insects facing each other. No one dared to attack first, and was afraid that they would be bitten by the other side as soon as they moved away. Butt, staring at each other, choose such a pair of bugs, not too strong, it will affect the quality of the winner bug; not too weak, otherwise it will not have any effect, the branch will slam them to death. …Boom." Long Chang made an explosive gesture and laughed loudly: "It's just another fight. I don't know what it is, but this time they will fight very fiercely."

The two boys who used "Dragon Calling" and "Strong Arrows" fell dead in the courtyard. The two pools of blood merged into one and could not be separated.

"After a big battle, the remaining bugs are quite powerful, and we all know that the other party is not waiting for a while, so we have to use some tricks at this time." The boy gesticulately said, "Go into the branch and stab to death A very strong insect secretly dismantled its corpse into four or five pieces and threw it into the sphere of influence of other insects. The battle will finally break out, and the victor has to be defeated before the insect appears."

For a long time, Long Ji hesitated and said: "I don’t understand...Are we the worms in the kaleidoscope? Can we kill the living people just to arouse our inner fighting spirit? We are all clan families. My son, the blood of the Long Family is flowing in his body. How could our fathers, patriarchs, and elders treat us like this."

Long Chang held the wall with his hands on the wall and looked at the moon. Suddenly there was a screaming cry from his belly. He touched the back of his head embarrassedly, his face with peeling skin showed a shy look: "Well, I said, is there anything to eat? Ah... this body is really troublesome. It's obviously a dead person, but it has to eat like a living person, and its appetite is not small..."

The girl touched her pocket and took out half of the honey pastry from her pocket. It was secretly hidden during dinner to be eaten after evening class, but she forgot, "Here, if you don't dislike it." She used One party puts a white handkerchief over the pastry,

"Okay, if I eat it, will you be hungry." The desire for food made the boy stretch out his hand immediately, but his fingers paused in the air. Long swallowed, staring at the half staring blankly. A golden-yellow, soft snack that looks extremely delicate in the moonlight,

"I'm very full, you can eat it." Long Ji leaned her palm a little closer,

"I haven't eaten for four days, and I can bear it." The boy swallowed again, "Um...what is this thing called, it looks delicious."

The long eyelashes trembled, "Four days." Long Ji opened his eyes wide, "Then why do you still have the strength to run around, this is called cakes, hurry up and eat them."

"Then I will eat it." Long Chang licked his chapped lips and stretched out his hand, "You don't regret it."

The girl said: "It's just a piece of cake, why are you so troublesome, hurry up and eat it."

"I will return it to you one day." The boy finally grabbed the honey pastry, carefully picked up the soft and sweet food with two fingers, held back the dripping saliva, and gently moved the pastry I broke it into two pieces, took out a rag from my arms, wrapped half of the cake and hid it in my arms, then swallowed the other half with a whimper, licked the scraps on the white handkerchief, didn’t see At any chewing movement, half of the cake disappeared in his throat. Long Chang lowered his head and carefully sniffed the place where the debris might fall on the wall. He picked up the suspicious little debris and threw it into his mouth. Finally He took a long breath, his face glowed brightly, and the whole person was extremely satisfied from the inside out,

"That fruit...this fruit...return it to the girl..." Long Chang said vaguely, and passed the white handkerchief. Long Ji glanced at the drooling veil and smiled bitterly: "No need, you keep it, why are you unclear about your speech."

"Don't want to...Reluctant to swallow...Leave a little longer here at the root of your tongue, and you can feel the taste for a while. This is the knowledge of eating." Finally, he swallowed the food with a grunt, and the boy licked his lips and smiled happily. "This thing called pastry is really the best food in the world. When I have money in the future, I will live on a bed made of pastry, covered with a quilt made of pastry, and use pastry as a pillow... No, I want to build one. A castle made of pastries."

Long Ji pointed to his neck: "A little bit is missing here."

"Damn it, how can you waste food." The tattered boy looked down, and a small hole was ulcerated in the skin of part of the neck, and some cake residues mixed with saliva and became sticky leaked out. He immediately screamed in heartache, scraped off the mess with his index finger and sent it to the entrance, and tasted it loudly,

Long Ji couldn't help smiling, "On your side, what kind of food do you usually eat, don't you have this kind of honey cake?"

Long Chang heard the words: "What you eat is what you eat, no name, beasts, bugs, bark, millet, sorghum, peas, worm-bearing barley, brown rice mixed with mud, leaves and bran Apart from humans, the made dish balls, how can we not eat them?,, by the way, the guys after the'malignant change' become monsters, no longer humans, they will be slaughtered and eaten."

"Yes, I heard that you also have food rations when you separate families. Just like I have ten liters of five buckets of polished rice, one catty of sesame oil, and five catties of refined meat every month. Every dragon family, even the children of the separated family, There should be such a monthly example." Long Ji said in surprise,

When the boy heard this, he sighed softly, but he still had a nonchalant smile on his face: "According to you, everyone has food, and the separation becomes paradise. In fact, you can get The monthly rule is only a few of the few. The registered branch family is only a few thousand people. You know how many branch families are crowded in those dark alleys now, or eat leaves, bugs and bran. I don’t mind eating people, but I’ve heard that eating people can get sick. It’s caused by some components in the blood. After eating human flesh, it’s easy to become'malignant'..."

"Does the clan family know all this, I mean, the elders will meet them..." Long Ji said in shock,

Long Chang snorted and looked very disdainful: "Knowing a fart, they don't want to know what the life and death of the family has to do with these big people. Just raise the dragon's spine and the outer wall continuously to let the family be separated. It’s fine if you can’t get out. Who cares what you eat."

The girl was silent. For a while, she finally said: "Who is the half of the cake for, parents or brothers?"

"I don't have any parents or brothers." The tattered boy said, "That's something that your clan has talents. I'm unlucky when it comes to them. I picked a little guy a few days ago and fed him nothing. No way."
