The previous words: The background of the story was emptied by me. The original time was 2013, but you can regard it as another world.

Therefore, the currency unit used in the book is "golden yuan", not "renminbi", and the currency value is relatively large. So please don't be too surprised when you see the prices of some commodities in the article.

In fact, it is because I have never been exposed to luxury goods that cost tens of millions of dollars in the real world. Therefore, in order to avoid making a joke about price in future articles, this is the worst solution.

Below, please watch the main text.

===================================================================================

At 2:30 in the morning, Li Zhen was awakened by hunger. It seemed that every cell in her body was crying silently, stretching out her invisible hand, eager to grab something.

However, his stomach was warm. He clearly remembered that before going to bed at two o'clock, he ate an egg sandwich left to him by his mother and drank a cup of hot milk. The small plate containing the sandwich was placed on the radiator beside the bed, and the bottom of the plate was warm, reminding him that everything was not just an illusion.

Forget it, don't think about those.

It was not the first time anyway. For a month after his 18th birthday, he was tortured by this arrogant feeling of hunger almost every night. It was not a feeling that came from his stomach, but from his body - this was a bit difficult to understand, but it was the case.

He rubbed his eyes in a daze, pulled up the slippers beside the bed, opened the door and went to the kitchen to find food.

My mother's sleepy voice came from another bedroom: "Don't read too late to read books--"

"Yeah." He responded weakly, and saw his face flashing through the mirror in the corridor. Under the dim light, it was like a ghoul.

The refrigerator door was opened, and the air conditioner turned into white mist and rushed towards him. He searched for it, took out half of the ham sausage, squatted on the ground and ate it in big mouthfuls. He chewed it so fast that his cheeks hurt, but he just wanted to swallow the things in his mouth quickly and fall into his stomach.

So hungry...

There was a voice shouting silently in the body.

My stomach finally became more full. However... I was still hungry!

Want to eat!

eat!

Li Zhen felt a pillow stuffed into his head, and was confused, as if he felt after he recited the book all night. But his body was indeed awake, as if every cell was cheering and urging him: Eat it, eat it all! Find it, eat it!

He shook his head and opened the door of the freezer. The deeper chill rushed out, making his knees hurt. Then he pulled out a drawer.

There is... frozen raw meat inside.

The bright red muscle fibers are flanked with white fat and are wrapped in transparent plastic bags, looming in the white air conditioner.

It was really attractive. The shout suddenly became strong.

It's it!

Li Zhen shook his head again, trying to resist the sounds in his body. However... his hands stretched out, grabbed the plastic bag, opened it, and sent it to his mouth.

Snap.

"Hey!" He woke up completely. The hardness and low temperature of the frozen meat made his teeth taste bitter. The powerful force of the biting muscle made two rows of snow-white teeth collided hard after sliding across the surface of the meat. It felt sour, numb and painful, as if it was given him a stimulant.

He suddenly saw what he looked like on the light in the refrigerator, and saw what he was holding in his hand. He was shocked for no reason, stood up suddenly, took several steps back, and felt his hands trembling.

How many times has this been? He gasped, as if he had just finished running ten "one thousand meters". How many times has this been?

My mother heard the sound of the kitchen in the bedroom and called him again: "Li Zhen, what are you looking for? You eat in the refrigerator."

"Well...oh, okay, I'm done eating, I'm going to sleep!" He answered quickly, then pushed the refrigerator door and ran back to the room. As he woke up completely, the strange feeling of hunger disappeared. It seemed that all the cells in his body were taken over by his brain again, and he no longer spoke too much.

What's wrong with me? What's wrong? Are you sick? He lay on the bed, covered his head with a quilt, and asked himself. Then he remembered a movie he had watched when he was a child - a lady hid a scholar under the bed of a cruise ship, and asked for two people every day. Her father invited a doctor, who said that the lady might have a strange disease - digestive disorder.

I also got this disease? But I will take the college entrance examination in a few months...

He was worried like this, and then fell asleep again in his worries.

The hunger came again. However, this time, maybe he was too tired and never woke up, and was only immersed in one nightmare after another.

It's 5:30 in the morning.

I woke up again. This time I was not awakened by hunger or by the alarm clock, but... I was awakened by the pain on my arms. The pain came from the depths, which seemed to come from the bone marrow, ties, and surround it. It was not strong, but it was really annoying.

This feeling is familiar. From childhood to adulthood, there will always be a pain like this for a while every day or two every month. It’s not that he has checked what’s going on, but the conclusion he came to was just a normal “nervous pain”, so he never took it to heart. However, with the strange feeling of hunger during this period, this pain has become a regular visitor.

Since it is already this time, just get up. The alarm clock will ring at 5:40 anyway.

The sound of his mother making breakfast was heard in the kitchen. Li Zhen sat on the bed wearing a quilt for a while to wake herself up, then dressed and rinsed, and had breakfast.

Before leaving, the mother looked at his face, thought for a while, and then said, "Don't be too stressed recently, there is still half a year before the college entrance examination. I can't do well..." She stopped here, thinking that saying this would stimulate her son's emotions, so she changed her words: "Your dad and I have told you a long time ago, as long as you work hard."

Li Zhen said "um" and pushed the door out of the house. A cold air rushed towards him.

He knew what his mother meant...

With two consecutive monthly exams, his grades have been declining all the way, getting farther and farther away from the originally expected goal. It’s not that he was distracted by other things, nor that he was stressed before the exam, but that he was not focused recently. Something seemed to be stuffed into his head, and he was confused for more than half of the time every day, as if he had Alzheimer’s disease in advance.

Spring is late in the city in the north, and it is not yet dawn when it is over six o'clock. The street lights on both sides of the road emit a dim light, and the cold wind makes the dead branches rustle. He rode his bicycle and galloped on the almost uninhabited street.

The wild cat and the wild dog hurried in the shadows, fled quickly as he passed by, and then searched for food.

It's so strange... Li Zhen's face was shrank in his thick hat, and his nostrils exhale white breath, thinking: Why did I suddenly want to raise a dog?

When I saw those wild cats and dogs just now, I did feel a strong sense of possessiveness. I felt that they were very cute, and I wanted to hold them in my arms and rub them hard with my face, wishing...

I wish I could... eat it.

Ah! When this idea came out, Li Zhen was shocked - why did he think of this again? Why did he think of eating again? Or eating that kind of living thing?!

Then I heard a long harsh sound—"Drip—"

After recovering from waking up, I felt a strong wind blowing from the side. The bicycle seemed to suddenly break free from the constraints of gravity and floated into the air. The whole person was flying in the clouds and fog, and was subjected to a violent impact at the next moment...

A strong wind, is this meeting with a martial arts master?

This was the last thought that flashed through his mind.
