"My name is Zhang Jiabao, I fell into the abyss a year ago and just climbed up. Zhang Jiabao said. Suddenly, he looked down and saw that his little Ding Ding was exposed, and he was so cold that he shrank his head and didn't dare to come out. A sense of shame made him cover his crotch and tremble. Yingzhou is located in the Central Plains, not warmer than the south, at this time the spring is not over, the cold is unexpected.

"Talking, not those monsters. The boy said.

"And the eyes aren't gray either. The girl said.

The wary expressions of the two eased a little, and the hand holding the big stick bone hung down. They don't talk face to face, and getting too close can make them uncomfortable.

"Monster, what monster?" Zhang Jiabao was puzzled.

"You don't know?" the boy asked.

Zhang Jiabao shook his head, "I am from the other side of the abyss, and my home is in Qingping Prefecture in the south. ”

"Monsters are people who can eat people. When you see it, you know it. The boy said. They didn't understand what Zhang Jiabao meant by "abyss", "south" and "Qingping Prefecture", for as long as they could remember, they had been staying in that small place, thinking that it was all heaven and earth, and they didn't have the concept of the imperial state capital in their minds, let alone how grand and wonderful the world outside the empire was.

"Oh. Zhang Jiabao also felt very dull when he heard that people were eating people, he had experienced a lot in the past year, and he was not surprised by many things. But when it came to eating, his stomach immediately crowed, and he hadn't eaten for two days.

"Is there anything to eat?"

The Siamese nodded, beckoned to him, and motioned to follow them. Running and jumping over various rock piles, their skills are very athletic, although some of their bodies are connected, but the tacit cooperation makes up for the lack of flexibility. When the middle leg is in front, the single leg on both sides is in the back, and when the middle leg is in the back, the single leg on both sides is in front, which is not slower than any normal person. The arm in the middle is like a rudder used to control the direction, and with a slight movement, the two can instantly reach an agreement, to the left or right.

Zhang Jiabao followed very hard, and fell a few times in embarrassment. Turning into an alley-like rock crevice, he finally stopped. The Siamese removed a pile of stones, revealing a door made of tree branches, and inside was where they lived.

A cave of seven or eight square meters, more than two meters high, with a deerskin covered with a one-foot-high earthen platform, is supposed to be where they sleep. Other than that, there was only a pile of dry twigs and an iron pot on a stone stove. The young man pointed to Zhang Jiabao to the roasted half of the rabbit meat in the pot.

"Wait, give him some warming. The girl said.

The conjoined man squatted down, removed the pot, added firewood to the stone stove, and prepared a fire with a fire sickle and flint, but after a few hits, it didn't hit.

"Don't bother. Zhang Jiabao lit up with a fireball in his hand, and set the firewood on fire at once.

"What kind of spell is this?" said the boy and the girl in amazement at the same time.

"Magic, I learned it in the School of Magic. Zhang Jiabao said as he put a wooden stick into the rabbit meat and began to roast it, "You invite me to dinner, and I will teach you later." ”

The conjoined man may have not seen a normal living person for too long, and he kept chatting with Zhang Jiabao when he was eating rabbit meat. From their mouths, Zhang Jiabao knew what was going on with the man-eating monster.

In the earthquake that year, nearly half of the 10 million people in the 12 prefectures of Yingzhou were killed or injured. The empire sent the powerhouses of the Holy Realm to fly across the abyss and direct disaster relief. However, the panic of the people of Yingzhou was not at ease, and the turmoil was frequent, and it was difficult to unite.

If a bridge can be built over the abyss, and troops and materials can be lost, it may be able to quell the chaos and gather the people's hearts. The ministers of the DPRK and China discussed with the foreign ministers of the West whether they could send magic messengers to help build the bridge across the abyss for a fee. The Western ministers refused, saying that the use of magic, it was easy to destroy and difficult to build, and the narrowest part of the abyss was also five or six miles wide, and it was difficult to rely on the upper and lower levels, and building a bridge was something that could not be reached by manpower.

The imperial court allocated a huge amount of money to borrow several magic flying boats from Fuzhou to transport manpower and materials to Yingzhou. Unexpectedly, a plague broke out in Yingzhou, and there were no survivors left, and the flying boat returned in vain. The imperial court silently ordered the army to be stationed at the edge of the abyss, and ordered the civil and military officials and all those who knew about it not to leak the affairs of Yingzhou, so as not to change the people's minds. The people of Yingzhou were abandoned, and the imperial temples were in turmoil.

In the land of Yingzhou, the mountains and rivers are still there, the community is broken, the market towns are barren mounds everywhere, and the houses are human graves. Corpses gather wild dogs, and blood attracts flies. Seeing the limbs of the incomplete crawling, like a rotting corpse out of the tomb, hearing the sound of mourning and misery, it seems that the ghost is crying. The plague was rampant, and those who infected it were delirious, and they fell to the ground and died in a few days.

Disasters give rise to chaos, chaos gives rise to disasters, disasters give rise to evil, those who were once officials lose their prestige, those who are rich lose their wealth, and those who are good lose their hearts. The survivors are confused, wandering, and there are hungry people who have eaten the corpses of the epidemic poison by mistake, and they are not dead, but they are changing. Lost in humanity and forgetting people's words, like a bloodthirsty beast, with gray eyes and black lips, sharp teeth and claws, and a huge body.

When others saw it, they gathered together to attack it, or they were wounded by it, or they were eaten by it. The wounded are also transformed, and when they see a living thing want to devour them, if anyone escapes from their mouth, they are assimilated. Or into the belly of the food, or into the food monster, to this day, there are few unchanged people in Yingzhou.

And this pair of conjoined people, about fourteen this year, were abandoned at birth. The rooster crows at sunrise, the market becomes noisy, and it is first discovered. Pedestrians passed, saw their conjoined twins, their faces were full of animal hair, they didn't cry or make trouble, they all praised it, and then shook their heads and left. At sunset, when the shortbread shop on the opposite street was closed, the old shopkeeper muttered and ordered the man to carry him into the house and raise it.

Five years later, the old shopkeeper died, and the shortbread shop closed. Siamese young children live in the broken temple of the border city at night, return to the shortbread shop in the day, and sit by the old well in front of the door. The neighbors took pity on him and gave him food from time to time.

At the time of the earthquake, the conjoined people were more than seven years old, and when they returned to the temple road, suddenly the sky and the earth were like a boat planting waves, like a tossed car, and the surrounding houses were all shattered. When the conjoined people are located in a wide area, they have to avoid disasters, and when they return to the shortbread shop, things are not human, and the faces of the old people are hidden under the rubble.

After the plague was born, the conjoined people found the crater with their keen intuition and sense of smell, and entered the sulfur hot spring, and the plague was not harmful. I feel that this place is beautiful, there is no suspicion of worldliness, there is no invasion of monsters, so I settled, hunted in the forest for a living, and lived so lonely for six or seven years.

Zhang Jiabao also told his story to the Siamese people, with a young heart, without reservation, and even told such a secret thing as the thousand ancient gods and the underground world. The six eyes are facing each other, and they cherish each other.

"My name is Zhang Jiabao, what's your name?"

The boy didn't speak, and the girl was silent for a while, and said, "The old man and the one who gave us food called us little monsters." ”

"That's ugly. Zhang Jiabao said. Siamese people don't find it unpleasant, if the person who called them little monsters in the first place is still there, they are willing to be called like this forever.

"I'll give you a real name. Not...... The grandfather who raised you was a shortbread seller, so your surname is Su. Words of the name...... What are your characteristics?"

"He wakes up early and wakes me up all the time. The girl hurriedly said, but the boy did not speak.

"Then this brother's name is Su Qi, the person who gets up early in the shortbread shop. Zhang Jiabao said his name proudly, thinking that after reading books for a few years, he was literate. The boy nodded.

"Your name is Su ......" Zhang Jiabao was about to say a nice name to the girl, but the girl pouted and said, "I don't want to share the surname with him." ”

"Oh, that's right. Well, there is a well in front of the shortbread shop, your surname is well, no, change the word, surname Jing, the scenery of the scenery, called Jingli, which means a beautiful person sitting by the well. ”

The girl bowed her head, and she didn't know why.

The boy felt her heart beating fast, and he was a little suspicious (the boy was on the left, the girl was on the right, and the arm they shared was close to the girl's heart), and when she met a tiger in the forest, her heart beat so fast.

"But it's even more beautiful when the hair on your face is shaved off. Zhang Jiabao stared at the girl's face, touched his chin and commented.

The girl raised her head suddenly, her eyes were round, she didn't know why she wanted to pick up the big stick and hit the person in front of her.

Zhang Jiabao knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he changed the topic and said, "That, Su Qi Jingli, brother and sister, can you give me a piece of clothing?"
