Chapter 474: A Story from a Long Time Ago

It was a long, long time ago, in a very remote part of the Southern Regions, surrounded by towering mountains that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, and under a towering peak, lived a small tribe of wilderness nomads.

There are only a dozen or so people in this tribe, and they don't have soul warriors, half-mutants, or even a strong man, so this tribe has a very difficult life, and the day is precarious.

Fortunately, the remote southern region has also led to the scarcity of soul beasts, so this group of people can barely survive, compared to being shrouded in the shadow of death at any time, a day or two without food is nothing.

When the morning light shines through, the tribe's nomads emerge from the ruins where they are hiding and begin their search for food for the day. As the people of the tribe left one after another, a small head emerged from the ruins.

It was a young boy of about seven or eight years old, who was emaciated and apparently severely malnourished. With a puffy face, but a pair of eyes full of color, he looked around smartly, tiptoeing to slip away.

Just as he was crawling out of the rubble, a hand gently grabbed his clothes and pulled him back.

"Little bastard, trying to sneak out again?" A teenage girl grabbed the little boy's clothes, "How many times have I told you that you can't go out alone!" ”

"Sister Rou'er!" The little boy was surprised, "Aren't you sleeping?" ”

"Hmph, I don't know about you yet? Can you hide your little bit of caution from me? The little girl wrinkled her nose proudly, "Go back quickly, otherwise Eminem will definitely scold you when he comes back." ”

"Hey, Sister Rou'er, listen to me!" The little boy suddenly said, "There is nothing to eat in the tribe, and if we continue like this, we will starve to death!" ”

"Who did you listen to?" The girl frowned, "Ah Gong didn't speak, what are you talking nonsense." ”

The little boy shook his head, "Sister Rou'er, don't you see that?" Recently, Eminem and the others have come back much later than before, and Ah Gong doesn't sing at night. Didn't you see it last time? The kind of grass leaves on my uncle's body are not available in our vicinity. I guess they've gone farther in search of food, but they haven't found anything. Sister Rou'er, I don't want to starve to death. ”

"You little ghost, where do you have so many eyes all day long?" The girl scratched his nose slightly, "Even if there is no food, then there is no way, you little guy, what can you do?" ”

"I'm going to find food!" The little boy said, his hand shaking in one direction, "Go over there, you'll find food!" ”

"No way!" Seeing the direction the little boy was pointing, the girl flatly refused, "That's the 'forbidden area' over there!" No one can go! ”

"Hmph, what a forbidden area!" The little boy huffed and said, "It must be a lie, the last time I sneaked over, didn't nothing happen?" ”

"When did you go?" The girl was shocked, and the little boy realized that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly hugged the girl's arm and said, "Sister Rou'er, I'm so hungry, I don't want to starve to death, let's be on the periphery over there a little, a little." You think, everyone thinks it's a forbidden area and doesn't dare to go there, so there must be food over there that hasn't been taken! ”

A hesitant look appeared on the girl's face, looking at the little boy's begging expression, she touched his head dotingly, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you, but it's okay, you can only be around a little bit, and I told you to go, you must not be disobedient." ”

"Good!" The little boy nodded obediently at once, and the girl rubbed his hair angrily, lifted a wooden spear, and led the little boy into the distance.

Climbing over a hillside to the ruins of a building in front of them, and following an ancient road overgrown with wild grass, the two men came to a cracked gate, which was made up of dozens of metal bars, but a large opening in the middle. Inside through the large mouth, there is a collapsed building.

"Shhhh The girl lowered her voice, "I heard that this is very evil, and no one dared to come in before." ”

The boy sticks out his tongue as the two make their way along the road in the ruins, and in a short time they find a slightly well-preserved building.

"Look, this place is not too broken, I think there must be food in it!" Xiao Yunfei pointed to the building firmly, and the two of them touched it lightly. As soon as they walked in, when they looked up, the two of them were so frightened that they took a big step back at the same time.

I saw a string of red things on the high wall in front of me, and at the end of a red light, there was a red light that kept changing. The two of them were so frightened by this strange sight that they could not move.

After a long time, nothing happened, and the girl nervously pulled the little boy behind her, but the latter waved her hand and said, "Sister Rou'er, don't be afraid, I don't think this thing is dangerous." ”

"What nonsense, do you know what this is?"

"I don't know, but I guess this might be used to calculate the sky." The little boy said, "Do you remember Grandpa?" Every time it was dark and white, he would draw a bar on the wall. Sister Rou'er, look at the last flash place. He pointed to the red light that jumped on the wall, "The last one repeats itself from the beginning every ten times, and the order is exactly the same, every six or ten times, the first one changes again." So I think he is the same as Ah Gong painting a bar on the wall, and he is counting it...... Well...... The ......, who is a little smaller than the head of the sky, searched the stomach and couldn't find a suitable word to buy a description.

"That's right......" Hearing the little boy's explanation, the girl calmed down a little, "Let's go back, here...... It's weird. ”

"Nope! Sister Rou'er, this is a place where people lived a long time ago, you see that this thing is still good, which means that it is not bad, huh...... I think there will definitely be something to eat! As he spoke, the little boy pulled his legs and walked deeper.

The girl puffed out her cheeks in anger, but after thinking about it, she kept up with the little boy.

The two walked through the building, and in front of them was a relatively open area, where a tall building collapsed, burying half of the clearing.

"Wow! There is really something to eat! The girl jumped up with excitement, and the clearing was full of plants that could be used as food. Without saying a word, she began to pick excitedly.

"There's green vines, and hairy leaves! Wow, there's even thorn fruit! Little guy you have ...... today Hey, where did this little bastard go? "Raise your head, where is the shadow of the little boy in the clearing?

Climbing up the crumbling staircase, the little boy took a closer look at the ruins, the doors of which were covered in dust, some twisted into horrible shapes. Soon, he came to the end of a hallway.

The door at the end of the room was closed, and the little boy put his hand lightly on the door, and at this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling that there was something behind the door, which made him tremble all over his body and his hair stood on end.

Pursing his lips vigorously, the little boy mustered up his strength and was about to push the door open.

Suddenly, a girl's frightened scream came from below, and the little boy turned around and ran downstairs without caring about anything else.
