"Father, I'm hungry!" He opened his eyes wide and innocently looked at the man who called him father.
"Bu 'er, be good, endure it, endure it! Soon there will be food! "The man's face cracked into an ugly smile.
"Oh!" He nodded, seeming to understand but not fully.
After a while, he said "Father, I'm hungry!"
"Go to sleep, sleep, and you will not feel hungry!" The man was very helpless. In the midst of thousands of soldiers, he could take the enemy's head, but in this poor house, he could not change the food.
"But father, I'm still hungry!" He blinked his eyes. His strong sense of hunger made him call out to his omnipotent father. Originally there was still mother, but father said that mother was tired and fell asleep.
"Bu 'er, you wait for father to find food for you!" The man got up and picked up the long bow that was already covered with dust and left.
In the evening, the man came back. His eyes were full of anticipation. He was travel-worn and exhausted, but his hands were empty. There was no tree bark or grass. How could he have hunted with a longbow?
But at that time, he didn't understand. He only knew that every time his father brought back his beloved big bow, he would definitely bring back delicious food. So he opened his small hands and shouted, "Daddy, I'm hungry! Food! "
That innocent face, that thin body made the man's face dim "I'm sorry, Bu 'er, father is useless, I cannot bring you food!"
"Father!" Although he was young, but he was very sensible. He knew that his father had already tried his best, so he nodded his head and said "Father, Bu 'er is not hungry, Bu' er is going to sleep!" Closing his eyes, the whole world seemed to dim down.
In a daze, he seemed to hear two voices. One was a very sweet and soft voice "Bu 'er, Bu' er, come here!"
"Mother!" He was confused. This was his mother's voice.
"Bu 'er, be good, come here to mother!"
"Mother, I'm hungry!" He did not see his mother for a long time, so he did not hesitate to say what he was thinking.
"Bu 'er, come here to mother, you are not hungry!" The gentle voice called out.
There was another anxious and hoarse voice. "Bu 'er, wake up, wake up! You can't sleep, you can't sleep! "This was his father's voice.
"Mother, did you really stop being hungry when we reached your place?" He tilted his head and asked doubtfully.
"Well, with mother here, Bu 'er will not feel hungry! Come on, Bu'er! "The gentle voice beckoned him.
"But Father!" He was a little hesitant.
"Your father will come looking for us sooner or later. Let's go ahead and wait for him!"
"Oh!" His little head didn't understand what it meant, but he didn't want to be hungry anymore. Being hungry was so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable.
"Bu 'er, wake up, wake up!" The man was about to go crazy. His son's body was getting colder and colder. His breathing and heartbeat were slowly stopping. He knew that this was not an illness, but hunger! This was caused by hunger. As long as there was food, as long as there was food, his son would be able to come back alive.
But he didn't. He didn't.
"Meat, eat, eat!" The man was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "Meat, meat, that's right, meat!" The man suddenly thought of something, clenched his teeth and stood up.
"Yi 'er, I am sorry, I have lost you, I can't live without Bu' er!"
Gradually, he opened his eyes. In his field of vision, there was no mother, there was no hunger, there was only his father, and that uncomfortable feeling of hunger.
"Father! I am hungry! "
"Come on, Bu 'er, we have food, we have food! You see, it's meat, it's meat! "In the man's hand, there was a piece of blood red meat.
"Hungry, I want to eat!" He didn't care if the meat was clean or not, he didn't care if it was cooked or not. He picked up the piece of meat and bit it. It was very fragrant, that was his first impression.
After eating a big piece, he noticed that his father had not eaten. He pushed the meat and said "Father, you also eat, eat!"
The man shook his head "Father is not hungry, Bu 'er, you eat, you eat!"
From that day on, he ate meat every day. Although it was bloody, it could fill his stomach! But the man did not eat even a single bite.
Finally, one day, the man could not stand it anymore, his tall body fell down.
"Father, father, what happened to you?!" He panicked. In his heart, his father was the sky, and now the sky was falling down. He was so scared that his eyes were filled with tears.
"Bu 'er, don't cry, don't cry, our Bu' er is a man, a future general of the Han Dynasty, how can you cry!" The man struggled to wipe the tears on his face "Bu 'er, father misses mother, I want to accompany your mother! I can only leave you here alone! "
"No, Father, I also want to accompany Mother, I also want to accompany Mother!" That day was probably the day he cried the most in his life.
"No, Bu 'er, you must promise your father, you must live well, you must live well, you must live well, you must not come and accompany your father and mother, you must not!" The man shook his head and said "After father fell asleep, did you see that blade? Gently cut the flesh from father's body, they can let you live, they can let you live through this year of disaster! "
Cut the flesh with a knife? He did not understand, and subconsciously ignored this.
"After eating, put your father and your mother together, and live well together. This is your father's biggest wish. Bu 'er, I am sorry! I cannot take care of you anymore, Yi 'er, I will accompany you! "After saying the last sentence, the man closed his eyes forever.
"Father, Father!" Father had also fallen asleep. Mother had also fallen asleep. He was the only one left in this world.
His thin and small body struggled to drag the man towards the broken house called home. His mother slept at the back of the house. It was he and his father who covered his mother with a blanket. He still remembered that his father said that he wanted to sleep with his mother.
He didn't have any tools to dig the soil. The only thing he could use to dig the soil was the long knife left behind by his father. However, he didn't want to use it. He used his pair of small hands, a pair of thin and weak hands, bit by bit, bit by bit, until his nails were broken, until his fingers were rotten. Finally, he dug out his mother.
When he saw his mother, he was stunned, his eyes lost their spirit.
Originally, his mother was buried in the soil with her clothes on, now except for her head which was intact, the rest of her body was mutilated, her thighs and arms were completely devoid of flesh, only white bones remained.
At this moment, he understood, he suddenly understood the meaning of his father's words, he also understood the origin of the meat he ate these days.
Those sweet and fragrant pieces of meat came from mother's body, they were cut by father little by little from mother's body. He now understood why father did not touch the meat even if he starved to death.
"Father!" His head drooped, a kind of thing called haze lurked in his body.
Finally, the famine was over, the foreigners left, he survived, behind the house called home, two white bones nestled together, forever buried under the earth.
