Chapter 777: A Poignant Legend
After two days of walking in the unfamiliar wilderness, I finally saw a small village in the evening of the next day. "Co*music*words*love*first*hair(http://www.klxsw.com

Even if you can rely on the strength of the leaves in the wilderness, and the agility to reach out to catch enough wild things to eat, but they are all teenage flower-like girls, who wants to live like a savage in the wild where they can't take a bath?
Especially Princess Caiyun, as well as the four daughters of Meilan Zhuju who grew up in the Xiaoyao Mansion almost since childhood.
Zeng Jing and Miao Li are more adaptable, especially Miao Li. Like a bird that has just been released from its cage, a qiē in the wilderness can make her excited for a long time.
This is a very small village with only a dozen families, Cong Ye chose a slightly larger family, knocked on the door for a long time, and only then walked out of a trembling old woman, with the help of the faint skylight, Cong Ye everyone found that the wrinkled face of the old woman in front of him had obvious scars left after being burned by the fire. There is only a sparse clump of white hair on the top of the head, and there are similar scars around the face.
"Old man, we are passers-by, can we use it for a night?"
The old woman did not speak, but opened the door casually, and turned sideways to signal everyone to come in.
After some inquiry, I learned that this village is called Sanjia Village, because there are more than a dozen families in the village, and there are only three surnames in total, so the village is named after it. The old woman's surname is Sun, and the other two families are surnamed Zhao and Gao.
"Grandma Sun, why is the coastal area deserted?"
After the old woman's cloudy gaze swept over everyone, she said:
"You dolls aren't from our tungsten country, are you?"
The crowd shook their heads.
"Well, this area wasn't like that a few decades ago."
As the old woman told it intermittently, Cong Ye and the eight people figured out what was going on.
It turned out that 60 years ago, a piece of extraterrestrial stone suddenly fell from the sky above the tungsten stone country, which was the size of an adult's head and dark all over, so the tungsten stone people named it "tungsten stone" after the country.
Many people thought that this was an auspicious omen, so they dedicated tungsten stone to the imperial court and was stored in the imperial palace as a treasure of the town.
Strange to say, this tungsten stone will always seep fine water droplets on the surface before the rainy day comes, and even more, when a natural disaster is about to occur in the tungsten stone country, the stone will also make some strange sounds. Over time, the Chinese people regarded tungsten stone as a sacred stone. So much so that the king ordered that every time the tungsten stone fell, the edict ordered the whole country to bow down to the sacred stone, and those who violated the order were punished in the name of great disrespect. At the same time, the king's favorite little princess was canonized as Princess Tungsten.
Just ten years ago, the old king passed away, and the year after the new king was registered, the king of Montenegro, a neighboring country to the north, sent someone to propose marriage to the king's sister, the fourteen-year-old princess Tungsten.
First, considering the strong strength of Montenegro, and at the same time coveting the position of queen of Montenegro, Tungsten Stone agreed to the marriage of the king of Montenegro.
The wedding date was set quickly, at the end of that year.
However, Montenegro put forward a condition, that is, tungsten stone, which was worshiped as a sacred stone by the tungsten country, as a dowry for the princess to marry.
At this point, it is understood that the reason why Montenegro wants to ask Princess Tungsten is really that the drunkard does not mean to drink.
For the unreasonable demands of the Montenegrin country, the tungsten stone country will naturally not agree.
As a result, an unprecedented war broke out between the two countries.
No one thought that once a war broke out, it would be fought for ten consecutive years, and there was not the slightest intention of quitting the army.
The once prosperous tungsten country, due to the small size and weak force, the long-term war has caused most of the young and middle-aged people to be transferred to the battlefield one after another, and they have never returned. Not only has this coastal area become more and more desolate, but even the once prosperous city has long been deserted, turning into a large area of ruins, which is unbearable to see.
"Grandma, where's the tungsten princess?"
Miao Li's sudden interjection interrupted the old woman's memories.
He was stunned for a moment before he replied:
"In the spring of the second year of the war, the kind-hearted princess Tungsten Stone crashed into the Divine Stone and died because she couldn't bear to see the tragic situation that the war brought to the country."
At this, it was a little difficult for everyone to accept the news of the death of Princess Tungsten Jade.
"Grandma, it's not Princess Tungsten's fault?"
The old woman did not answer Miao Li's topic, but continued:
"It's strange here, after Princess Tungsten Stone touched the stone and died, the divine stone never had any more spirituality, and no warnings were issued. Not only that, but the original black surface was also dyed with a layer of blood red that could not be erased. ”
"Since tungsten stone has no spirituality, why not give it to Montenegro and end the war from now on?"
Princess Caiyun asked eagerly.
"No one knows what the king thinks today, but he would rather exhaust his national strength than submit to Montenegro."
"And then?"
Miao Li continued to ask questions like a child who listened to the story and was fascinated.
"And then it was like this. Even the young and middle-aged people in the three villages as remote as ours were sent to the battlefield. I have three sons and seven grandchildren, and none of them have been heard from yet. ”
Such a story made everyone present sigh.
Xu knew that the eight young men and women in front of him had not eaten, and the old woman said apologetically:
"There is extra bedding at home, but there is no extra food."
Even if the old woman brought out the food, they wouldn't eat it.
"Jingjing, you stay here and clean up, I'll come back as soon as I go out."
Knowing that Cong Ye was going out to hunt wild things, Princess Caiyun nodded, and after seeing Cong Ye leave, she went to a west house under the leadership of the old woman and cleaned up everyone's night water shop.
"Sister Jingjing, shall we help grandma?"
Looking at Miao Li, whose eyes were full of pleading, and Zeng Jing, who wanted to speak and stopped, Princess Caiyun said:
"All we can do is to leave more silver taels for the elderly, and nothing else seems to be of help."
"If only the lord could come back with more wild animals."
While the Seven Maidens were discussing in the room, suddenly, the roars of wild beasts were heard in the depths of the night.
"It must have been the master who found the big beast."
Miao Li said as she jumped out of the room, just in time to see the old woman trembling out of the north room. It seemed to be coming to their Westinghouse.
"Granny?"
"Why hasn't that little brother come back from going out just now?"
Zeng Jing hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
"We have a lot of beasts here, and there are many cannibals. Hurry up and call that little brother back, otherwise it will be very dangerous. ”
When Zeng Jing heard this, she suddenly became nervous, and even Miao Li couldn't help but look out of the gate.
On the contrary, Caiyun and Meilan Zhuju are more calm.
And only they know best what Congye is capable of
