Late Tang Dynasty. Caizhou.
Qin Zongquan sent troops to cannibalize people and set up a market for human flesh. The woman is priced at fifty cents, the strong man is priced at one hundred cents, and the old and weak are thirty cents.
At the age of sixteen, the Orion son became a woodcutter, and his mother was taken captive to Xiying. Carrying a hunting knife, half of an embroidered shoe, and fifty copper coins, he stepped into the city that used human bones as firewood and human flesh as food.
If he fails to redeem his mother, he will die.
From then on, a young man with no golden fingers, no modern knowledge, and no literacy, crawled to survive in the cannibalistic world. From the bone market in Caizhou to the siege of Chenzhou, from the labor camp to the bear den in the mountains, he lived - just alive - with a hunting knife with a missing blade, a hunter's bow and arrows, and half a piece of burnt hard cloth.
Qin Zongquan proclaimed himself emperor. Zhu Quanzhong sharpens his knife. The world is a wok, and the people are rice. And his only thought was: If he doesn't die today, he can live for one day.
