As he climbed over the ridge in front of him, Fam couldn't help but glance back.

The long procession stretched from the ridge to the base of the hill and from the base up the hill. Fam remembered that it was the third mountain they had climbed since they had entered the mountains, and that the forward of the team had already passed the sixth before them.

It was evident that the number of soldiers supervising them had become sparse, and most of them were said to have been transferred to the rear of the troops, where fugitives began to appear on a daily basis.

But the lack of oversight didn't make Famm feel at ease and comfortable, and like everyone around him, he was increasingly confused.

Before reaching the mountains, Fam was convinced of the purpose of his trip, believing that when he entered the mountains, he would see all the spices that could not be harvested, and the fertile land promised by the divine envoys. But when he followed the team deeper and deeper, he gradually realized that the truth may not be as good as he thought.

Except for the strangely shaped rocks and the gloomy caves, there is nothing in this mountainous region in the south, not even the trees, which look strangely shaped. At night, the appearance of these stones around them looks even more terrifying in the shadows - these stones are not a single monolith like in the north, but are corroded by water in the middle, hollowed out and carved into various strange shapes. In the gloomy moonlight, the stones look particularly reminiscent of monsters and ghosts.

"There are no monsters and ghosts in this world!" Although the search and rescue team stressed this point to everyone every day, they promised everyone every time, "Keep going, we are close to our destination!" ”

But the words of the oracle rarely failed to comfort everyone, because someone came from the front with even more terrible news.

The king and the oracle commanded everyone to go into the cave and live!

At first, Fam did not believe the description of these rumors, which said that the cave was full of bats and rats, and slippery moss, wet and cold, and even rivers and deep pits, which could have fallen into the abyss in the darkness if one was not careful. Rumor has it that the king drove everyone into the cave in order to sacrifice them to the devil - these strange and dark caves all have passages to hell. All of them ate food that the devil had brought out of hell! In the end, it is to exchange the lives of all people.

Although the spreaders of these rumors were pushed to the gallows by King Elise in the first place, their words did not disappear, but quietly sprouted and grew in everyone's hearts like seeds.

"Rest in place!" The soldier in the queue commanded.

Fam, like everyone else, habitually lined up in a long line, ready to wait for the bread to be divided.

But the soldiers told them: "No bread at noon today!" Today, the Divine Messenger has brought us something even more delicious, noodles from heaven! ”

Next, Fam and the people around him were each given a bowl that was completely transparent, as well as a lid. I don't know what material this bowl is made of, it is as transparent as crystal, but it is light and does not feel a little weight, and it is an extraordinary luxury at first glance. If it were still in Elis, such a bowl would be worth almost the same size of gold. But in this barren mountain and wilderness, it seemed like something could only be seen everywhere—everyone who Fam saw, everyone was assigned one.

This bowl made Fam feel a little relieved, even if he just took a bowl when he came over, it was not a loss, and this bowl could be used as a family heirloom when he took it back. There was also a fork in the bowl, but this fork was not very satisfying, and many people took it in their hands and tried it gently, and the fork was damaged—far worse than the metal fork. However, for these civilians, the opportunity to eat with a fork is probably only once in a lifetime.

And soon Fam learned from other people's mouths that another magical attribute of this bowl is that it is not afraid of falling, which makes the value preservation function of this heirloom more stable, imagine that to their grandchildren's generation, they use the same bowl as their own, how touching it should be!

With such a beautiful imagination, Fam soon felt more surprises.

Everyone was assigned two unfamiliar pockets, on which were painted mouth-watering noodle pictures, which seemed to smell the taste. The noodles are painted with pieces of meat, eggs, and vegetables, and such a luxurious configuration is almost beyond everyone's imagination - I'm afraid that even the king can't eat such noodles, right? Is this really something for them to eat?

The soldiers who led the team demonstrated in public, and the first to open the bag and asked everyone to put the bread in the bag into the bowl that had just been handed out.

"This is the food of God! Behold, this bread is exactly the same size as this bowl. In their imagination, only God had the ability to make a bowl of exactly the same size for the purpose of eating the bread, or to make the same size of the cake for the sake of a bowl. Either way, for them, it's unthinkable. And what's even more incredible is that there is almost no difference in the size of these pies! All the pies are exactly the same! It's stricter than the cookies they've eaten before.

In addition to the bread, there were several other small bags in the bag, and the people poured the contents of these bags onto the bread. Quite a few people couldn't help but secretly tasted the taste of these things, and then they were all shocked - compared to these things, the sweet cakes they had eaten before seemed to be nothing. There is still a ...... in this world Does it taste like this?

But that's not all.

The soldiers who led the team boiled hot water, asked everyone to take a bowl to fill the water, and told everyone that when it was ready, cover it with a lid, and start counting, and when they counted to fifty, the bowl of noodles was ready to eat.

A man next to Fam frowned and said, "Count to fifty?" How old is fifty? Is it older than nineteen? ”

Fam was glad that during his time in the royal city of Elis, he had learned to count with the others in his free time—just to count the number of people in line so that he could eat the bread more efficiently. His current level of mathematics can already be said to be among the blind, and he is probably the only person in the team who can count more than two hundred.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage, other people have to rely on the help of their toes in the process of counting, and he can use his mouth to report the numbers in turn. Quite a few people counted after Fam.

By the time he reached about thirty, Fam's mouth couldn't help but start drooling, and he could clearly see through the transparent lid of the bowl that the seasoning soaked in boiling water was melting little by little, and the bright and strong soup was spreading little by little, and the noodles were quietly blending together. What's more, there were quite a few people who hit the water first, and they had already opened the lid at this time, and the maddening aroma filled the entire air - many of them could barely bear it.

But Fam still insisted on counting the fifty numbers, which were food from heaven, and he thought that the prescribed ceremony must be done last night in order to show respect for heaven.

When the first bite of noodles entered his mouth, Fam felt every pore bloom all over his body. It's like he's had a cookie for the first time.

The only regret is that this side seems to satisfy the mouth more than the cookie, but not the stomach. After eating the two bags of noodles with soup and noodles, Fam didn't feel full at all. Perhaps, as many people say, these are really heavenly foods - the gods must be eating this kind of thing every day, because they can never get enough of it, so they can enjoy this delicacy all the time.

This lunch, which made everyone have endless memories, somewhat dispelled some of the shadows of rumors, and when they continued to set off in the afternoon, Fam could clearly feel that everyone's mood had recovered a lot.

"Fam! Come with me! "On the afternoon march, a soldier called him out of the queue, and he knew that there must be another job, so he was sent to do it.

He and hundreds of other men, followed by more than twenty soldiers, were in a makeshift camp, each carrying a lot of supplies. Many of them were the ones Famm had just seen at noon, the noodles from heaven, and other things like flour, clothes, bedding, and so on.

What Fam received was a bag of flour, not very heavy. He followed behind a strong man carrying a large bag of clothes, and at the urging of these soldiers, he left the direction in which the group was advancing and walked towards a remote valley.

The road is gradually disappearing, and the road under your feet is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and in some places you even need to pave the way in front of you to walk. Finally, when he was about to reach his destination, Famm heard the shouts of the soldiers at the front of the team: "Hurry up and get in, no one will die!" ”

"No, no, I'm not going in, I'm not going in!" Famm heard someone crying. He subconsciously wanted to lean over to see what was going on, but a soldier on the side knocked him hard with the hilt of his sword: "Look at what, follow the person in front of you." ”

The tall man in front of Fam had apparently seen clearly, and both legs began to shake. Taking advantage of the soldiers on the side leaving, Fam quietly asked him, "What's going on ahead?" ”

"Really going into the cave...... I saw bats flying out just now. ”

Famm silently prayed in his heart that the worst would not happen. But his prayers had no effect, and after a few minutes, the line slowly moved forward.

When he saw the black hole, even Fam, who had always been optimistic, began to feel a cold sweat break out on his back. The strong man in front of him kept grinding his steps, constantly looking around, as if he wanted to find a few like-minded people to resist the oppression of these soldiers. But under the threat of the sword, they eventually walked in.
