Qiu Yan and Li Mowu arrived in the barren valley on the fourth day.

The dangers and hardships encountered along the way were far greater than the experience of not returning, and the wild beasts that came out of the road quickly became stronger, especially the closer they got to the barren valley, all kinds of dangerous beasts pounced, and even the little wolf cubs began to be restless.

Fortunately, Qiu Yan seemed to be born to be particularly good at this kind of dangerous wandering between mountains and wilderness, and after avoiding fierce beasts and many strange dangers many times, he still took Li Mowu to the outside of that valley.

Legend has it that since ancient times, there has been a strange power in the valley that has made it impossible for all living beings to survive here.

Decades ago, in the era before the liberation of China, there were wars everywhere, you could not find signs of a good harvest, in the villages, in the fields of dead silence, edible wild vegetables, fruits, tree bark were all collected by everyone early, even the insects in the fields were afraid to scream, but this result created a group of displaced refugees. At that time, they found a valley and wanted to rest, but they were unexpectedly confronted by a group of merchants who were hurrying away. I wanted to come forward to ask for a drink, but I accidentally saw the embroidered girl of the merchant, so I became evil.

Decades have passed since that war in the blink of an eye, and people's memories of that war are as if they were yesterday, but the passage of time about this desolate past has been frozen in the years of history. According to the local old man, on that night in the past year, the shouting and fighting made the wind and clouds change color, the dead died, the escaped escaped, and even the embroidered girl was tortured with no skin and no eyes. Later, at dawn, someone pretended to have the courage to come to check, but they were stunned when they saw it, where was there any fighting, where was blood, where was there a figure in this valley, but the cry of that night was real. Afterwards, this place was full of resentment, ordinary people were weak, and those who were not strong in blood could not resist the cold air in the valley, and the legend was that the merchant family was tired of poisonous resentment before he died. Anyway, this valley is already desolate, and with the spread of the old people, after a long time, no one will come at all.

When Qiu Yan walked up the narrow mountain road, looking at the somewhat familiar mountain terrain around him, there was still a hint of complexity in his eyes, but when he walked to the entrance that was about to enter the barren valley, he suddenly stopped.

On the hill next to the mountain road in my memory, there was a figure standing there at this moment.

The mountain wind blows, and the clothes are swept up, and the hunt flies.

Qiu Yan was in a trance for a moment, and Li Mowu was also frowning.

"Hey. The handsome man stood on a high place, laughed and waved at the two of them, and shouted in his mouth. "I haven't seen you for many days. ”

Qiu Yan crooked his mouth, looked at the skillful Le Jin, and snorted lightly and sneered. "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Le Jin walked in front of him with a full smile, although the smile made Qiu Yan a little disgusted. "It's not right for you to do this, everyone knows each other anyway, you come up and ask if you are dead, how can this friend get along. ”

Qiu Yan snorted. "How can a friend abandon a friend? Hmph, ridiculous." After that, he went on his own.

"Hmm, where did this little thing come from. How still.." As he spoke, Le Jin reached out to stroke the little wolf cub's head.

However, at that moment, Le Jin's hand froze in the air, and then he heard a heartfelt coldness. "If you dare to touch it, I will kill you. ”

Li Mowu looked at Le Jin looking at him, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and a trace of complex light passed in the depths of his eyes, standing in place and silent.

Qiu Yan bowed his head slightly, and then didn't say a word, and after being silent for a long time, he finally took a step forward and slowly walked into the barren valley that had been uninhabited for a long time.

The towering cliff is like a sharp sword reaching into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, leaving only a shadow on the earth, and Qiu Yan quietly walked into the shadows again, gradually disappearing.

.....

It was a sunny day, but as soon as I walked into the barren valley, I saw that the ring-shaped sky surrounded by huge mountains above my head was full of dark clouds, black and oppressive, thick and low, which made people feel depressed.

Qiu Yan's gaze swept across this gloomy gray barren valley, and there was no grass growing as far as the eye could see, either hard and towering cliff rocks, or weathered and cracked earth. Gusts of wind kept blowing from the depths of the barren valley, raising puffs of gray dust.

Farther away, as the wind blew through the cracks in the weathered rocks, it sounded like the spirits of the undead who had died here long ago, still howling viciously.

The little wolf cub followed Qiu Yan's footsteps into the desolate valley, and although it instinctively didn't like this lifeless place as a beast, the desire to be with Qiu Yan overcame this feeling. It's just that when it walked into the barren valley, especially after Qiu Yan walked a distance of about a few feet deep into the valley, the little wolf cub suddenly stopped.

It hummed in a low voice, its face seemed to be in pain, and its whole body trembled slightly, as if it felt very uncomfortable. However, after the little wolf cub glanced at Qiu Yan in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and continued to insist on walking forward.

But something worse happened soon, but only a few steps away, the little wolf cub was unstable on his feet, his body swayed, he took two steps and crookedly, and it didn't take long for him to pop and fall directly to the ground, all four legs twitching.

A shadow suddenly obscured its vision, and the little wolf cub raised its eyes with a low cry, but it was Qiu Yan who returned to its side. After reaching out and gently touching the little wolf cub's head, Qiu Yan picked it up and took it into his arms and looked at it. "Why, is there something here that upsets you?"

It's an animal's instinct to meet a disaster, and it's a talent that can smell danger. The little wolf cub gasped for a while, and the abnormality of his body gradually subsided. glanced at Qiu Yan, then stretched out his tongue and licked Qiu Yan's palm, as if in response to something.

Qiu Yan smiled, then turned to walk, and soon disappeared into the depths of the gloomy valley, only a gust of gloomy wind swept through the dust, covering the world.
