Goodo......

After the water boiled, a faint fragrance of rice wafted out, and out of the adobe house came two younger children, a little boy and a little girl, three or four years old, all gathered around the iron pot in an orderly manner, as if pilgrimage to Canaan stirring the rare rice porridge.

The boy who was collecting firewood took out a small bundle of hay from the adobe house—not hay, but dried wild vegetables—and put it in until the rice porridge was completely boiled, so as to fill the food that could only be called 'broken'.

As if accustomed to this kind of life, the four children, who were not very old, showed a composure that did not correspond to their age, but their eyes looked into the distance from time to time - they were waiting for the man who was the pillar of the family, their father, his uncle, if they were lucky enough today, the head of the family would carry a piece of meat from the hunt, and it was their happiest moment.

Such expectations do not always come true, hunting outside the sea is full of dangers, injuries are common, and death is not uncommon, so the eyes of the two eldest children are not only expectation, but also a trace of worry, they know the danger, but helpless...... They are too young.

Poor families generally rarely have the same mess as the big family, which is very valuable, Canaan's uncle and aunt treated the four children equally, and even took special care of Canaan because he was an orphan, but it didn't help - the family was so poor that this kind of care was at most a scoop of half a spoonful of wild vegetable porridge, and the sensible Canaan would secretly divide this half spoonful of porridge among the two younger cousins and cousins.

As usual, Canaan's aunt returned home with a tired face, and she did the odd jobs in the village, laundry, sewing, digging ditches, doing everything, and the heavy physical labor made her look like an old woman of fifty before she was thirty years old, but before entering the house, she tried to put a smile on her face, and ostentatiously waved a black loaf in her hand, which was a delicacy that children rarely ate.

The children did not disappoint today's anticipation, and the four children rushed to him with a cheer as the man approached the adobe house against a huge lump of meat, and the other families of the village cheered as a successful hunt could fill this small village with a festive atmosphere.

Although poor, although bitter, life must go on!

In the village, the cooking is not fried, the large pieces of meat that are still dripping with blood are cut into the size of a child's fist and thrown into the iron pot to stew with the wild vegetable porridge, and soon, the smell of meat spreads throughout the village, and every household is overflowing with joyful laughter;

This is the way of survival in the villages in the wilderness, although they are small, they will not abandon everyone, and here, people, more important than others.

The woman looked at the excited smiling faces of the children with satisfaction, and turned to her usual taciturn man,

"Summer, what kind of beast are you hunting today? You have such a large piece that you can eat for three or five days!"

The man was silent, and the woman who had lived with her for more than ten years noticed a hint of unusualness in her subtle expression, and she did not continue to ask, because she knew that if she should say it, her husband would definitely say it, otherwise, she would fight alone.

In the middle of the night, when the children who could not wait for the food to be cooked ran out to play with the other children, Summerer said sullenly: "We have passed through the rocky valley!"

The woman was startled, and almost threw the coarse porcelain bowl she was holding on the ground, for the people at the bottom who lived in the chaotic city-state, the other side of the chaotic stone river valley was simply another world - if the chaotic stone city-state was a hell for civilians, then the Red Mountain Kingdom was a paradise, where you could eat enough, not only the fertile land and the beasts whirring with meat, the key was that there were no frequent wars and terrible disasters, but unfortunately, people from the chaotic city-state were not allowed to go over, and those who approached were killed!

"You ...... Why did you go over there, and if this was discovered, would the hunting party still be able to come back alive?" and although she sat down in front of her husband when she saw her, the woman could not stop being afraid.

"What else can it be? Recently, there are fewer and fewer beasts here, the original cow was found here, but after it was injured, it rushed through the rocky river valley, everyone didn't hunt a big beast for three days, and they were unwilling to be escaped by it, so they chased it, and it was not unruly, but fortunately, they didn't meet the soldiers of the Red Mountain Kingdom. ”

The man said angrily.

The woman sighed, "That being said, there are powerful magicians on the other side, and we ordinary people can't even beat their soldiers, how can we fight against magician......s?"

The man stood up slowly, "I'll talk about it later, you have to eat your stomach first, the children haven't eaten meat for seven or eight days!"

The woman also stopped talking, the matter had been done, and it was useless to regret it, and when she saw that the porridge was cooked, she changed her smile to cover her sadness, and shouted at the children:

"Piva, Canaan, bring your brother and sister back for dinner!"

The woman shouted a few times, but did not see the children respond, which is usually impossible at all, and the children of the poor can be wrong for anything, that is, they cannot eat by mistake.

She didn't worry too much about the safety of the children, this is in the village, only a few yards away, a group of children's laughter is clear in her ears, what is there to worry about?

It's just that the laughter of those children today is particularly high-pitched.

The woman followed the sound to see what it was that made the children hungry and reluctant to leave...... I turned around the three courtyards, but I was startled by the scene in front of me, dozens of children ...... There were even some adults who gathered around and looked at a woman surrounded by them with great interest.

It was a delicate-looking, smiling woman, about twenty years old, dressed beautifully, as if she was somewhat similar to those women in the Red Mountain Kingdom, but not identical, and she could see that this woman was different, because her skin was too delicate and fair compared to the women in the village.

It's an exotic guest!

Although the village of Hitam is poor, the poor are also proud of the poor, and never treat guests from afar - this is why a stranger can easily enter the tribe and stand among the children.
