Volume 2 Tragedy Chapter 171 Anan River
"Ayi'er, where are the worms distributed, and how many people are there?"
Ayi'er was still silent in Xiao Jinxing's story, she wiped her tears and looked up at Xiao Jinxing, and saw that he seemed to have red circles under his eyes but still looked calm, so she quickly smiled and reached out to add a handful of firewood to the fire.
"What did you just say?"
"Ayi'er, the past things are in the past, and we all have to look forward, so we just need to keep these things in mind.
Now, I want to save you, I want to save Xin'er, that's what I want to do. ”
Ayi'er nodded when she heard this, she looked at Xiao Jinxing, and a burst of warmth slowly spread into her heart with the gradually warming fire.
"The Protoss live underground.
But wherever there is a sea of sand, the underground there is a place for the gods to live.
And the only place I have been to is in the Dead Sea, thousands of miles west of the Western Sea, where the Divine Court is located.
Loulan, five hundred miles northwest of Dragon City, is the land of the Divine Clan's winged people,
Thousands of miles of quicksand to the north of the Di tribe in the north, there is the land of the Protoss orcs.
You must be wondering how they come and go on weekdays when they are thousands of miles apart?
In fact, you will never be able to know it by imagination until you have personally walked that path.
Each of the gathering places of the gods and the people was connected to each other by underground roads, which were like bamboo pipes, and were not disturbed by wind, sand, snow and rain, rivers and lakes, and mountains and mountains.
Some are just smooth roads.
God made the sun on both sides of that way, and it shone in as day.
If an orc walks, it can travel up to 200 miles a day, and if a winged man walks, it can travel up to 1,000 miles a day.
Winged people are good at flying, orcs are strong, and fishmen can survive in rivers, lakes and seas as usual.
They all have their own characteristics, so they can't be generalized.
As for the population, I really don't know how many of them there are.
But I know that the total number of gods and people everywhere is only 20,000.
But I advise you not to be contemptuous of the fact that they only have 20,000, and if it were not for some of which I did not clearly confine, those 20,000 would have been able to run rampant in the world once they were freed from their bondage.
Of course, they can't get rid of that bondage. ”
Xiao Jinxing, who listened carefully, was taken aback when he heard this, he never thought that there would be people living in this hard underground, let alone that there were only such people in the worms.
So he thought about it and then frowned and asked:
"Ayi'er, do they have any weaknesses?"
Ayi'er seemed to know that Xiao Jinxing would ask her this question, so she shook her head lightly and said:
"Although the gods are generally stupid, the gap in strength between us and them is too great, and the disparity is too great, so there is no chance of winning against them.
But they seem to be bound by some kind of power, except for God.
Those gods can only survive by living underground, and if they go to the ground, if they can't return to the underground in a hundred days, they will definitely die.
They are not bound by etiquette, so the children born do not know who their father is, and the important thing is that their births are very different from ours, not like ours.
A woman can only give birth to one child in her life, but very few of the children born can grow up.
So this is the main reason why there are not many worms, and God has tried countless ways to do this, but he has failed. ”
Ayi'er said everything she knew in a deep thought, and finished speaking
Later, she suddenly found that Xiao Jinxing was looking at herself suspiciously, so she hurriedly asked:
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Jinxing lowered his head a little embarrassed, and finally couldn't help asking, "Ayi'er, is the god in your mouth an orc, a fishman, or a winged man?" ”
Ayi'er was stunned after hearing this, and after a while, she understood Xiao Jinxing's worries, so she covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
It's just that Xiao Jinxing frowned and said in a loud voice:
"Ayi'er, it's not funny."
Xiao Jinxing didn't want to see that once he couldn't save Xin'er, then Xin'er would have to live with those monsters.
"God is man, just like you." Ayi'er regained her expression and said seriously.
Xiao Jinxing asked with some surprise: "Same as you and me?" ”
"No, it's the same with you.
Actually, I look a little like God's people now, but God is just like you.
He has a face similar to that of the people in your gates, and a body like you.
Anan too. ”
Ayi'er thought for a moment and added.
"Ayi'er, what about your face and skin?"
After Ayi'er finished speaking, Xiao Jinxing seemed to hear something he cared about more.
So he didn't continue to ask about God's appearance, but hurriedly asked Ayi'er what was wrong with her face.
"I've probably been in the temple for a long time, so after escaping, I slowly became what I am now.
God said that if I went back to the temple in the future, my appearance would naturally return to the same as before. ”
Ayi'er felt Xiao Jinxing's concern, and she smiled and said.
The two of them asked and I answered, asking and telling about the worm man word by word.
It's just that the more Ayi'er tells Xiao Jinxing, Xiao Jinxing's confidence in confronting the worms becomes more and more dim.
"Knock Knock"
There was a brisk sound of footsteps outside the yurt, and the two people who were talking looked at each other and slowly stood up.
"Don't you want to ask the people who came yesterday?" Ayi'er asked hurriedly as she looked out of the yurt.
Xiao Jinxing smiled at Ayi'er and shook his head gently.
Xiao Jinxing noticed that Ayi'er had been calling the worms people gods from beginning to end.
Perhaps this meant that a part of Ayi'er's heart was still in the Wriggling Temple, but she didn't know it.
"Ayir, although you have escaped from your so-called temple, your heart has remained there.
There is your husband there, your children, should I go and save you? ”
Xiao Jinxing, who walked out of the yurt, sighed at the clear blue sky. Then, he grabbed Xin'er's little hand and led her to the grassland in the distance.
"Aunt Ayi'er is cooking, brother will accompany you to play with the puppy first."
"Brother, what song did you teach Xin'er to sing today?"
Watching Xiao Jinxing outside the yurt holding Xin'er's hand and drifting away, Ayier seemed to feel that something was blocking her heart.
Ayi'er closed her eyes and felt it slowly, but found that it was getting tighter and tighter, and the more it was blocked, the more painful it became.
......
The Tao Tang Clan and the Youchong Clan were the two northernmost tribes of the original eight barbarian tribes.
Since more than 500 years ago, after Xiao Xiao, the monarch of the Qi State, flooded all the land in his northern territory with floods, they have become a third-party force that hangs alone in the world.
Without the threat of the Southern Qi people, they
They were able to recuperate and recuperate, so over the centuries, the population of the two tribes increased dramatically.
For these two tribes, the Youyu clan and other tribes in the south have long been ignored by them.
If it weren't for the extremely cold weather in the north and the worms in the thousands of miles of sand in the north of the two tribes, they would have knocked them from time to time, I am afraid that the two tribes would have been unwilling to listen to the call of Dragon City a long time ago.
Despite this, in addition to joining forces with Longcheng during wartime, the two tribes would often go south on weekdays to bully the neighboring tribes of Youyu and Xiahou and Youqiu.
They would send sporadic bands to fight tooth sacrifices and capture some food and grass for livestock.
Therefore, except for the three tribes of the Su clan, the Zi clan, and the Huaxu clan, which are too far away from them, the rest of the tribes are bullied by the Beidi tribe on weekdays.
Strictly speaking, the population of the two tribes of Beidi is not large, and their total population is not much more than that of the Youyu clan, but the people of these two tribes have survived the long-term cold and the threat of worms for hundreds of years, so they have developed their strong physique and fierce character.
According to legend, those short, red-haired Di people would spontaneously go to strangle a lone worm if they encountered a lone worm.
In the eyes of the Yu clan and the other five people, this is really an unbelievable behavior.
But after hundreds of years of dealing with the Di people, the fierce and brave nature of those short Beidi barbarians is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the people of the six Rong people.
Beidi, don't provoke.
At the northernmost tip of the Youyu tribe, a group of red-haired men swaggered on war horses, galloping along the southern Anan River, the border between the Tao Tang clan and the Youyu clan.
Although the most elite warriors of their tribe were now marching south to fight against the Qin State, it was clear that this group did not regard the Youyu clan as their ally and did not harass them.
On the contrary, in this early spring, all tribes need a large amount of forage for the food of war horses, so the Youyu clan in the south has always been the easiest source of forage for them.
As has been the practice for hundreds of years, when the snow melts on the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the men and horses of the two tribes of Beidi begin to move south one after another, to rob the lonely tribes of the Yu clan.
In normal years, the Yu tribe would have transported some of the forage food to the Anan River, so that the vast majority of the raiders of the Beidi tribe who had obtained the forage food would not have to go south to plunder.
But this time it was different, this group of red-haired Di people walked along the newly thawed Anan River for a day, but they did not find a grain or a single forage.
"Damn, have these people survived enough?"
In the red-haired team, a man with several scars on his face rode on his horse and scolded fiercely, and the riders around him also looked resentful.
They couldn't help but scold the scar-faced man, and they shouted and scolded one after another.
"Nani, stay here and tell the people of the back tribe that since the Yu people have changed their sexuality and want to see us starve to death, then we should also bring the punishment of immortality to them.
Let's go to the valley to the south and let them get there.
After gathering the people and the Taotang people, we went to old Zhemu together and asked if he was wearing the same pants as the Nanbanzi. ”
After the scar-faced man said this, he immediately tightened the reins beside his left hand, and the horse under his crotch turned his head and ran south.
Behind him, more than 100 war horses also followed him.
After the war horse galloped, only dust was left on the withered yellow grassland.
