The farmer gradually grew up......
After hearing the village chief talk about the situation in the outside world, Nong no longer had the idea of going to the outside world. In his young mind, the outside world is almost equated with death. Countless dangers, alien races, etc., all of which pose a mortal threat to the weakened human race......
As the village chief said, in this extremely remote village, although life has been extremely difficult, at least it is safe. And with the growth of farmers, the life of human beings in this village has gradually improved.
In fact, there are dozens of adult men in this village, and the labor force is of course sufficient, but the land cultivated by the people is too barren, so no matter how people work, the food they grow is only a little, which can barely sustain everyone from starving to death.
In modern terms, it is that the humans in this village are still in the primitive era of slash-and-burn farming, and they do not know how to grow food effectively.
Farming is different, from the beginning of his contact with farm work, he has an extraordinary talent for how to farm, obviously just a child with little strength, but the fields he has taken care of by his hands produce more food than those adults who have been farming for many years.
Perhaps, this is also a talent, a talent in farming.
So under the talent of the farmer, the life of the village gradually got on the right track, the dishes on everyone's face slowly disappeared, the skinny body became stronger, and the people who were sad on weekdays began to smile on their faces; the village chief sat at the head of the village every day and watched everyone work with a smile, and sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would also tell the farmer some things about the outside world, or teach the farmer some medical skills.
The village began to flourish, and more fields were opened up around the village, and although the life of the people was still very hard, this kind of life had a head, didn't it?
However, the good times were short-lived......
Just when everyone's days were booming, the village where the farmer was located was ruined, and when the farmer was ten years old, it was ruined......
The cause was not an alien race, nor was it anything else, it was just a natural disaster, a flash flood......
There is a small river near the village, which, according to the village chief, has been calm for decades, if not centuries, and there is no possibility of flooding. But on that summer night, the river burst into a flash flood and even caused a mudslide......
On this summer night, more than half of the young and middle-aged men in the village, including the farmer's father, died in the flash flood and mudslide, all the houses collapsed, and the fertile land that everyone had worked so hard to open up was destroyed. If it weren't for Nong's timely response and his best efforts to escape with the sleeping soil, I'm afraid even he would have died there.
When Nong stood on the hillside, looking at the village that had been destroyed by the flash flood, he couldn't help but shed tears. The fields that he had worked so hard to plant, his father, and the villagers who had been very good to him, were gone......
And the soil in Nong's arms, although he was also covered in bruises and shivered with cold, he still reached out to wipe away Nong's tears and said, "Brother, don't cry, Tu is here with you......"
"Well, don't cry, my brother won't cry, I'll be fine, my brother is here, I've been with you......"
When the day dawned, Tu finally fell asleep, and the farmer himself walked up the hillside again, staring at the flood that did not know when it would stop, and the tears that he thought had dried up could not stop flowing again.
"Why, why did everyone die, why did we suffer such a disaster, everyone is obviously a good person......"
"Shouldn't good people have good rewards? Shouldn't good people have candy? Why is that......"
"For ignorance is not a sin, but weakness is......"
The old village chief's voice suddenly sounded, startling the farmer who was talking to himself.
"Village, village chief......"
"Nong, do you know now why I didn't let you go to the outside world?" the old village chief sat down beside Nong and said, "This is us human beings, although everyone in the village is very kind, brave and hardworking, but they all live extremely hard...... Even a small flash flood can wipe out our village. ”
"Because we are weak, we don't have the strength to protect our cherished one. ”
"So, village chief...... How can we get the strength?" Nong, who didn't know where the courage came from, suddenly asked this sentence.
"Gene locks. ”
At the mention of the gene lock, the village chief's eyes suddenly lit up, but then went out again.
"Gene lock?" Nong vaguely remembered that the village chief had mentioned it to him a long time ago, but it had been too long for him to remember it clearly.
"That's right, Gene Lock, a long, long time ago, because human beings were unable to cultivate any energy circulation system, human beings were the most sinful beings in this world. But at that time, there was a human named 'Gu', and his tribe was wiped out by a group of demon clans......"
"This kind of thing was simply natural in those days, so he was angry, he was desperate, he was crazy, he unlocked the most primitive power in the genes, he called this power the genetic lock, a shackle that sealed the true power of human beings, he untied it, he broke free from ......"
"Then, he became a saint, became the 'ancestor' of our human race, and changed the life factor of our human race, in fact, it is said that the vast majority of the races of the Honghuang Ten Thousand Races, their racial abilities, and the most fundamental cultivation techniques of their race, are all inherited by the ancestors of this race in their bloodline, so that even if their ancestors fall, their races will still be prosperous and powerful...... We human beings are able to have this kind of power, and it is thanks to the blessings of the ancients. ”
"That'...... How can we unlock the genetic lock?"
"The more dangerous, the more dangerous the situation, the more you are able to open the genetic lock. The village chief smiled bitterly, "I was also a human who had opened the genetic lock, and I had also joined our human army, but I was seriously injured in a battle, and my energy circulation system was destroyed. That's why I brought some ordinary people to this place. Listen, boy, when you're in danger, if your life is big, you'll automatically unlock the genetic lock...... Okay, let's not talk about that, let's take care of the people who were injured in the mudslide. ”
Nong and the village chief did their best to take care of all the injured people, and Nong also ran a long way to find a lot of herbs for everyone to put on them. But in the summer, the weather was hot, the wound infection was infestation, and there was a lack of medical treatment, so everyone still died, and only Tu survived......
While the farmers were tending to the soil, the rest of the people had already left to make other living. In the end, even the village chief left......
"Nong, this village has been completely ruined, you can only go to the outside world to see if you can find other tribes, you have the ability to farm, people from other tribes should be happy to accept you......"
These were the last words the village chief said to the peasants before leaving.
And when the wounds of the soil were finally healed, Nong looked at his destroyed village, and the scene appeared in front of him. Everyone's faces were yellow and thin from hunger, and the expressions of death and life tortured by illness......
"I ...... I must let everyone have enough to eat! Let everyone live with a smile!
