The two of them searched for three skulls on the bank of the river in front of them, and at the same time came to introduce themselves belatedly.

Coward: Do you have a name?

Woman: My name is Jing

Coward: My name is Yan Ruoqin, hello.

Jing: What a bookish name.

Yan Ruoqin: Haha, compliment, you still remember your name, that means that your memory is partially gone, right? Do you remember anything?

Jing: I still remember that my people asked me to bring back the Son of Pure Yang, which was my most important task.

Yan Ruoqin: What is the son of pure yang?

Jing: It's something that can save our whole clan.

Yan Ruoqin: Something? I thought it was a person?

Jing: Yes, it's a person, but it's also a thing.

Yan Ruoqin: Ah, what kind of person is this? I mean, what kind of thing.

Jing: I don't know what it is, maybe I can't remember.

Yan Ruoqin: But even if you find it, how can you take it away from a girl's family?

Jing: It can be compressed.

Jing took out a few little people in his hand, and all of them stood alive in Jing's palm.

Jing: I'll make them smaller so that they can be easily carried.

Yan Ruoqin's eyes were as big as goose eggs, and the person in front of him looked like a primitive person, how could there be an immortal law. Yan Ruoqin looked at Jing with a shocked face, and became scared from the bottom of his heart. For this isolated place, he also began to be in awe, for fear that his every move would lead to murder.

Yan Ruoqin: Ah, then if you say that, it is really likely that you will lose it.

Yan Ruoqin timidly agreed.

Yan Ruoqin watched the little people who were shrunk into Jing's palms still jumping alive on Jing's palms, almost scared to death, he imagined that he was accidentally held in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't escape.

Jing turned to him suddenly.

Jing: From now on, you will be in charge of hunting, building sheds, and lighting fires. There may still be a long way to go to find the skull, and we need to conserve our strength.

Yan Ruoqin: I should be tired after walking for so long, let's rest for a while. It's just that our aimless search is not a way.

Jing: It's not aimless, I have a feeling for the three skulls, and when I get close to them, I get hot.

Yan Ruoqin: So you now?

As he spoke, Jing was ready to subconsciously take off the banana leaves that Yan Ruoqin had given him to cover his shame.

Yan Ruoqin: Eh, wait a minute.

Jing: What's wrong?

Yan Ruoqin took a large section of the reeds by the river, kneaded them together with grass roots and kneaded them into ropes to put the reed leaves on one by one, and after a while, a long robe was ready, Yan Ruoqin covered his eyes and put the long robe on Jing. Yan Ruoqin was respectful and afraid of the woman in front of her, but in some moments, she felt that she was very cute.

Jing: This

Yan Ruoqin: This is what I gave you.

Jing: Me.

Yan Ruoqin: You should dress well! Don't litter. And of course, don't mess around.

Yan Ruoqin also made a coat and hat for herself, and just like that, they hit the road.

Yan Ruoqin: Are your three-fast skulls human bones?

Jing: That's my child's bones.

Yan Ruoqin: You, you, your child?

Jing: That's right.

Yan Ruoqin: Do you have the habit of putting your children's skulls on your body?

Jing: After our dead children are sacrificed on the altar of heaven for 7749 days, they will be stripped of their bodies, their spirits will return to the earth, and their flesh will return to heaven, and we will carry the rest of their skulls with us.

Yan Ruoqin: I remember when we were in danger, you took out a skull when we fell into the crack, and then it didn't take long for us to be saved.

Jing: I used a skull?

Yan Ruoqin: I remember that, but it was pitch black at the time, and I wasn't sure if what I saw was real, maybe it was all I dreamed of.

Jing: Do you say it again?

Yan Ruoqin: I'm me, I'm nothing.

Jing: If I use up a skull, then my child will be wiped out.

Yan Ruoqin: What? What does this mean?

Jing: In our tribe, it is normal for a child to be born or in danger, and the child cannot be saved, if there is a huge danger, the child's skull can be used as a talisman to protect the adult once, but the skull helps the adult to prevent the disaster, it is bound to be wiped out, and the child's spirit will also be wiped out. Our tribe has lost a single life since then.

Yan Ruoqin: You can still continue and reproduce

Jing: The child's parents should protect it as much as possible, because the number of people in our tribe will never increase, and as long as the child is not wiped out, he can continue to be reincarnated in our tribe. When the child is reincarnated, as long as the eagle in the sky is circling, holding a mouthful of soil, placing it on the child's skull, and the flesh spirit yuan returns to its place, the child will return. If the skull is gone, there will be one less life.

Yan Ruoqin: Your clan may be slowly gone, who can guarantee that there will be no danger, who can guarantee that the child's skull will always be preserved, you run around with this skull every day, it is possible to accidentally fall, besides...

Jing: Shut up!

Jing pinched his long nails on Yan Ruoqin's neck again.

Yan Ruoqin was frightened by Jing's reaction.

Yan Ruoqin: I'm joking, don't take it seriously, this reproductive problem is the top priority, if your clan is going to be destroyed, you have to find this skull quickly, I just hope it is lost, but don't be wiped out.

Jing: Are you sure I used that skull at the time?

Yan Ruoqin: I'm not sure, at that time, it was pitch black, I couldn't see, I could only listen to the sound, maybe there was, maybe no, no, no, no, I must have fallen asleep, dreaming.

Yan Ruoqin looked at Jing who had a changing expression on his face, and quickly changed his words and said no.

Jing: If you just use a skull to ward off the disaster, it must be a huge disaster to be effective, but this.

Jing looked around, looking at the surrounding fairyland, it seemed that he had experienced some kind of disaster, Jing frowned, if he encountered a major danger, the skull should have only been lost, but now the three skulls are gone.

Yan Ruoqin: Not only that, but not only the skull is missing, don't you remember?

Jing: The villain is still there, but everything else is gone.

Yan Ruoqin: Where are you hiding, villain?

Jing: They're hiding in my pocket, but if the clothes are gone, as you said, how can they still be there?

Yan Ruoqin: Were they snatched by you?

Jing: No, I rescued them from the forest.

Yan Ruoqin: Forest?

Jing: There is an enchantment between our no-man's land and the outside world, before the fog dissipates, people who go to the no-man's land will get lost and then trapped in the forest, this barrier makes it impossible for outsiders to enter, and the people inside can't get out, and the range of the enchantment is about 10 kilometers, so many people are trapped in the forest within this 10 kilometers. I went to pick them up, but I couldn't be discovered by my people, so they could only become villains and hide on me.

Yan Ruoqin: It turned out to be an enchantment!

Yan Ruoqin recalled that the road he had traveled before coming to the enchantment was indeed a misty forest, so he was not trapped in the forest. But he wondered in his heart, how did he come to the no-man's land outside of this barrier?

Yan Ruoqin: So, you say, people outside the enchantment can't get in?

Jing: Yes, you can't get in, and the people inside can't get out.

Yan Ruoqin: Do you know what the outside world has become?

Jing: I don't know. When I was very young, my mother took me out once, and the outside world was no different from ours.

Yan Ruoqin: In the past 20 years of the war, our homes have been completely destroyed, corpses are everywhere, the fighting is still going on, and the old villages are long gone, replaced by their arsenals, where they store their ammunition. In order to satisfy his selfish desires, the emperor of war can cut off other people's tongues at will, take other people's hearts to renew his father's life, and he can keep waging wars in order to dominate the world.

Jing: It's so brutal, but this no-man's land, the barrier drawn hundreds of years ago, no one can break it, how did you get in?

Yan Ruoqin: I just walked in, I don't know, I was too tired and sleepy, I didn't know how far I had walked, I collapsed by the river and fell asleep.

Jing: Could it be you?

Jing didn't continue, but there were a lot of speculations in her heart, and the possibility she hoped for the most was that Yan Ruoqin was also a tribesman.

Yan Ruoqin: Maybe I'm related to you?

Yan Ruoqin quipped, his big eyes looked at Jing diagonally upward, and looked away.

Yan Ruoqin: If I was originally from your tribe, then how could I be forced to join the army in the outside world? This is impossible.

Jing didn't continue this topic, because she didn't know if it was a small probability event to break into a no-man's land, maybe there were people outside who mixed in their tribe in order to avoid the war, and they lived in peace for a few lifetimes without being discovered, maybe, maybe Yan Ruoqin was their person.

Jing: I'm hungry, you go hunting.

Yan Ruoqin: Me?

I don't know how to hunt, what do you want me to hunt with?

Jing: Use your mouth, or else?

Yan Ruoqin: Do you want me to use my mouth to bring you prey? I'm not an animal?

Jing smiled and looked at Yan Ruoqin, found a wooden stick, and stood by the river to fish after grinding it on the bank of the river.

Yan Ruoqin: I'll come, I'll come, I will.

Jing clapped his hands and handed the wooden stick to Yan Ruoqin.

Yan Ruoqin: Did your tribe give birth to children very early?

Jing: Yes, we have been giving birth to children since we became adults, but the number of people in the tribe has never increased, and it has been decreasing recently, and the patriarch is very worried, so he asked us to find someone called the Son of Pure Yang to bring back.

Yan Ruoqin: At first, I thought that those villains in your hands were the sons of pure yang that you collected.

Jing: No, I don't know what to do with those people now.

Yan Ruoqin: I think you should put them back, even if they are fostered on you, they will slowly starve to death.

Jing: No, when they get smaller, they can eat my dander or eat my leftovers.

Yan Ruoqin: But what if you slowly raise them very big?

Jing: I just hope they survive the catastrophe.

Yan Ruoqin cautiously stepped into the river, closed his eyes and couldn't bear to interject it.

Yan Ruoqin: I'd better not kill.

Jing: Then we're going to have to go hungry tonight.

Yan Ruoqin: Can you eat green vegetables or wild fruits?

Jing snatched the wooden stick in Yan Ruoqin's hand.

Yan Ruoqin: Eh, I'll come, I'll come.

Yan Ruoqin closed his eyes and poked blindly in the water.

Yan Ruoqin: Eh~ Look, I inserted a big fish.

Jing: Wow, that's great, there's meat to eat tonight.

Yan Ruoqin: I, but I, I won't make a fire.

Jing: Then, I'll teach you.

Yan Ruoqin and Jing scholars lived a primitive life, chopping wood to make fires and hunting, but Yan Ruoqin occasionally looked at the stars in the night sky and recalled the night he was in the trenches not long ago, maybe it was the same starry sky.

Yan Ruoqin: I haven't heard crickets for a long time.

Yan Ruoqin and Jing were lying on the grass, looking at the starry sky, picking a dog's tail grass, facing the moon in the sky, constantly tapping the rhythm in his heart, suddenly he realized that the outside world was still in dire straits, he suddenly got up, he looked down at the big eyes on his chest, and the big eyes also looked at his eyes full of worry.

Yan Ruoqin: You know what? I used to be a coward. Of course, it is still now.

Jing: Coward?

Yan Ruoqin: I have never killed or seen blood since I was a child, and I especially don't understand those who fight for honor and victory, and kill others. Don't they think life is precious?

Jing: Yes, life is precious

Jing: I see that the people of the land I once longed for are suffering, and I can't bear it, I can only send them to a safer place within my ability, and I don't know what the road will go after. There are only a limited number of people I can protect, and the only way I can get there is this.

Yan Ruoqin thought back to the little mute who saved him, and sighed.
