There is a cannibalistic world in the Water Margin, in this world, the lives of ordinary people are like grass mustard, and even after death, they can't even find a bone slag, and the initiators behind it actually became Liangshan heroes later, so who are they?
This content will take stock of the cannibal demons in Liangshan, a total of ten, and they can also be called the top ten ogres in Liangshan.
The first person to introduce must be the black whirlwind Li Kui who kills people without blinking.
In the original work of Water Margin, there are two incidents about Li Kui's eating, the first of which occurred after Song Jiang attacked the Wuwei Army and captured Huang Wenbing alive. At that time, Song Jiang wanted to kill Huang Wenbing alive, but it was inconvenient for him to do it himself, so Li Kui, who was a hardcore confidant, went out.
Li Kui drew a sharp knife, first cut it from the leg of the yellow cake, and after the cut was burned on the charcoal fire in front of the wine, cut a piece of the yellow cake, and cut the yellow cake in a piece, Li Kui cut the knife open his chest, took out the heart and liver, and made sobering soup with the leaders.
There is a chilling detail in this description, that is, Huang Wenbing watched Li Kui eat his good meat, and this scene was so terrifying and bloody for Huang Wenbing, who wanted to die suddenly.
What's even more cruel is that after Li Kui ate his heart, he ripped out his heart and made sobering soup for Chao Gai and other leaders, so you can imagine how miserable Huang Wenbing's death was.
The second incident occurred in the 42nd episode of the original Water Margin, where the fake Li Kui cut the path to rob a single person. It is said that after Li Kui killed Li Gui who was pretending to be him, he was worried that there was no rice under vegetables, so he cut off the meat on Li Gui's leg piece by piece, roasted and ate it, cut off a piece, and roasted it to eat a piece.
Li Kui's style of eating human flesh is so simple and rude, there is no need to add any ingredients and condiments, and there is no need to carry out any cleaning and disinfection, just roast and eat it directly. In addition, the book also specifically explained that after eating, Li Kui dragged Li Kui's body to the thatched hut, and then set a fire to it, which means that the remaining uneaten meat was directly cremated by Li Kui.
But this is nothing, there is an ogre on Liangshan who is more powerful than Li Kui, he is the fiery and fierce Deng Fei, when this guy first appeared, there were two hymns in the book that wrote: Eat more human flesh and eyes are red, and the fiery eye is Deng Fei.
Eating more human flesh means that Deng Fei treats human flesh as a common thing, so much so that his eyes are red, so his nickname is Huoyan.
Judging from this nickname, Deng Fei must have eaten people a lot, but the book did not clearly record his deeds of eating human flesh, but it was only mentioned by the author. Personally, I speculate that when Deng Fei was robbing his house in Yinmachuan, many passers-by must have been eaten by him.
And it is not only Deng Fei whose eyes are red, but also Li Li, the judge who urges the order, just by looking at this nickname, you know that this guy is not a good stubble. ** introduced him as a Jiangzhou person, in Jiangzhou Street Yangling to open a black shop for a living, as long as there are guests here to scare him, he will use *** to trouble him, and then seek money and kill.
This method is the same as Sun Erniang who opened a steamed bun shop, Sun Erniang is to make troublesome guests into ** meat buns, so what will Li Li do with the guests?Let's look at the author's description of Li Li's appearance: the red beard is scattered, and the red silk tiger's eyes are round.
Red silk tiger eyes, how can normal people have this kind of appearance?Presumably it is also the sequelae of eating too much human flesh, maybe the number of cannibalism is not as much as Deng Fei, so there are only a lot of red threads in his eyes, and he has not become a fiery eye like Deng Fei.
Zhu Gui is a veteran of Liangshan, who went to Liangshan as early as when Wang Lun was in charge of Liangshan, and was responsible for running the Liangshan Hotel. This hotel is equivalent to a window to the outside world in Liangshan, and its main job is to collect and probe information, but it will also do some murder and robbery in his spare time.
* described, the guest who has no money will let him go here, but as long as he meets a rich guest, he will use *** to turn it over, take his money, and end his life, and finally the fine meat slices will be the meat, and the fat meat will be fried and lit. What does that mean?This means that the lean meat is made into bacon, and the fatty meat is boiled into a little light. Zhu Gui's operation can be regarded as truly avoiding the possibility of killing people and leaving traces of goods, and it can be said that as long as they are planted here, they will basically evaporate from the world.
And as a senior human flesh shop owner, Zhu Gui has more or less tasted human flesh, so he is also an out-and-out ogre.
After Zhu Gui, there are Sun Erniang and his wife, and these two are also ogres who open black shops. However, Sun Erniang's treatment of human flesh is very unique, he is not directly roasted raw like Li Kui, nor is he made into dishes like Li Li and Zhu Gui, he chops people into meat filling, and then makes ** meat buns with a pot of noodles.
It is worth mentioning that before this, Sun Erniang would also clean the troublesome guests, and then carry out a classification, the fat ones were made into yellow beef and sold, and the thin ones were sold as buffalo meat, which was really very particular.
As for the high-quality fat and big licensed goods, Sun Erniang always has to open the bag by herself, while her husband Zhang Qing is carrying the burden and selling it. In general, the two have a clear division of labor, one is responsible for production and the other is responsible for sales.
Although the book doesn't explicitly mention that they ate human flesh, I personally assume that they at least did. The reason is also very simple, whether the made human meat buns can be sold completely depends on its taste, which requires Sun Erniang and his wife to taste it in the process of making
In addition, in addition to making human flesh food, Sun Erniang also engaged in some by-products, Wu Song once patronized their human flesh practice, and the scene inside was very terrifying. It is written in the book: there are several human skins crumbling on the ground, and five or seven human legs are hanging from the beams.
Human legs are used to make yellow beef and buffalo meat, but what is the use of peeling off the human skin?It is not explicitly stated in the book, but I think it should be the raw material for making leather products such as leather skirts, leather gloves, and leather hats.
From this point of view, Sun Erniang has simply used human flesh to the extreme, he, like Zhu Gui, is a good hand in the catering industry, and he is also an ogre.
There are three leaders of Aomine Mountain, and they like to eat hot and sour decanting soup made with hearts and livers. These three leaders are the Jinmao Tiger Yanshun of the Dazhai Lord, the Short-horned Tiger Wang Ying of the Second Zhai, and the White-faced Langjun Zheng Tianshou of the Third Zhai.
In the 32nd chapter of the original work, Song Jiang was going to Qingfeng Village to join Huarong, but he was caught by the little minions when passing by Qingfeng Mountain, and Yan Shun, who was drunk, did not know that it was Song Jiang, so he ordered his subordinates to dig out his heart to make sobering soup, and the old Song was frightened when he heard it, and quickly said his name, which luckily escaped.
It can be seen from here that Yan Shun did this kind of thing not once, because the process of taking Lao Song's heart from the little minion is very skilled. Let's see that the original text is written like this: I saw a little minion carrying a large bucket of water and putting it in front of Song Jiang, and another little minion rolled up his sleeves and held a heart-cutting knife in his hand, and the little minion who was carrying water poured water with both hands and poured it into Song Jiang's heart. It turns out that the hearts of mortals are wrapped in blood, and when the cold water is splashed to disperse the blood, and when the heart and liver are taken out, it is crispy and delicious.
In addition, it can be learned from the small chatter of the minions that every time they finish making the decanting soup, the remaining meat is stewed for them to eat. As the saying goes, people gather by like, and things are divided by groups, although the author did not explicitly say that Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou also eat, but in this case, it is difficult for them to be clear and not demonic, and Wang Ying's character is indeed very despicable. It can be seen that there are cannibals up and down Qingfeng Mountain.
The last ogre is the little overlord Zhou Tong, about the plot of robbing Mrs. Liu's daughter when he appeared, the book wrote: The tassel gun is right, the little demon king who covers the heart and liver of the cannibal, the whistle sticks are double, and the real Tai Sui who does not support his father and mother is held.
A little devil who eats people's hearts and livers, which shows that this guy also drinks sobering soup, is lustful and eats people, Zhou Tong is the same as Wang Ying, he can really be described as a demon among demons.
So why are there so many cannibalism incidents in Water Margin?What does the author want to express through this?I think it's the distortion and complexity of human nature in troubled times. It can be said that the early times were accustomed to cases, and it is not surprising that the people did not have proper clothes and food in the war, and it is not surprising that they ate people for the sake of their own lives.
