The current composition of the human race is still very loose.

The leaders of the four tribes are called patriarchs.

The patriarch himself had a territory, a warrior, a sorcerer, and a temple.

The area of the tribe under the patriarch's jurisdiction is very large, so there is a second level of local governors, the head people.

A leader with a large number of people can manage more than a dozen villages, and a few can also have 2 or 3 villages.

The head also has its own army of warriors, and while guarding their own jurisdiction, they will also go out to fight at the orders of the chief.

Since the split of the human race, they have been fighting each other for nearly a hundred years.

In every war, a group of people will die and a group of people will be captured.

In the past, when the trees ruled the human race, their opponent was the ape, and the wisdom of the ape was low, as long as they were gentle, they would slowly forget their hatred and integrate into the human race.

But now their opponents are both wise people.

So the captives became domestic slaves.

All the chiefs and patriarchs who participated in the war had some domestic slaves.

Those domestic slaves wore shackles and lived the most miserable life, working all day long, living only on the little food that their masters gave them.

Since the establishment of domestic slaves, the connection between the head man and the villagers under his jurisdiction has not been so close.

In the past, the chieftain used the force at hand to protect the villagers from war and beasts.

The villagers helped the leader to cultivate the land.

Now, the head man has a house slave, so he doesn't rely on the villagers so much.

This also led to the fact that the head of the Youhe clan, who is now in charge of Lihe Village, saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't even have the idea of helping, so he directly took his soldiers and domestic slaves and ran away.

Before he ran, he even told the villagers of Lihe Village that they should build embankments to block the floodwaters, and that they would have people and tools there, and then they would come to help, and they would definitely be able to keep their whole village safe.

The villagers of Lihe Village believed it, so they didn't run, because they didn't have boats, and they didn't hoard food on high places, and if they did, it would probably be too late, and there would be inconvenient people like old people and children to run.

They've been building embankments, they've been waiting for the head to come.

But not only did the leader not come, but the river kept rising.

Uncle Axe, the most prestigious in the village, sent Cao Jiu, who had the fastest footsteps, over and asked the leader when he would be able to come.

As a result, the news brought by Cao Jiu made all the villagers dumbfounded.

"The head man ran away?" The villagers sat limply on the ground, with no hope in their eyes.

Uncle Axe shouted, "Don't wait! Before the embankment collapses, let's go! Get back! Take the family with you! ”

Only then did everyone come to their senses and hurried home.

Cao Jiu also followed to the village, everyone else had a home, but he was alone in his family, and he didn't even know where to go.

"Xiao Jiu! Wait, run to the heights! If you can't run away, find the tallest tree and climb it! Uncle Axe yelled behind him.

Cao Jiu turned around, nodded gratefully to Uncle Axe, and walked out of the village.

Uncle Axe watched Cao Jiu leave, tears streaming down his eyes.

This kid is really too bitter, but this time, maybe he will survive! Because he has dexterity in his hands and feet, and he is not dragged down by his family. I hope this child can survive and live a good life in the future......

Uncle Axe ran towards his house, and there were many young and old in his house.

After walking a few steps, Cao Jiu suddenly remembered something.

That was a few days ago.

An outsider came to the outside of Zhuangzi, where the head man lived.

He appears to be a male wizard with a young and handsome face, dressed in a brown base with woven accents on top of a wizard's robe.

In this era, people are not very mobile, except for wizards and warriors, there are also nobles such as the head patriarch, and few people will move around.

So after the wizard came, many people in the village knew that a stranger had come.

Many villagers went over to watch.

Kusajiu is also among them.

The wizard came to the leader's village, stood outside and knocked on the door.

The warriors under the Leader let him in.

After a while, this man was directly beaten out by the leader's men.

While beating, the leader's subordinates also insulted:

"Tell you to talk nonsense! Do you want our head to die? There is no wind god, only the ancestor god is the true god! ”

The young wizard avoided the man's pursuit, retreated, and silently patted the dirt on his body.

The villagers gathered around, all talking.

The young wizard looked calm and said to the villagers:

"Hello, I'm a sorcerer of the Anemo God."

Aeolus? None of the villagers had heard of this god.

They only know the three ancestral gods.

I heard that over the years, there have been quite a few gods, but all of this has nothing to do with this small village along the river in the middle of nowhere.

The sorcerer continued to say to them, "The god of water, dissatisfied with the ruler of the Heavenly Emperor, has committed rebellion, and is about to bring disaster to the earth. Now, it's defenseless and likely to be hit by disaster. ”

Are you sure? The villagers were talking.

It's been raining a lot lately, but it's also making the crops grow better, which isn't bad.

The wizard didn't seem to mind the indifference of the villagers, and he continued:

"However, the god of wind has given you a chance, as long as one of you is sincerely willing to be a sacrifice of the god of wind and die for everyone, the god of wind will save everyone."

The villagers were lively all at once.

"Oh, no wonder you're beaten."

"What kind of god is the god of wind, the evil god, right? They also want people to die. ”

"Let's go! It's polite not to kill you, we all believe in the great gods of our ancestors here, and we don't believe in any wind gods! ”

In the face of the villagers' malice, the wizard's handsome face did not show a trace of displeasure, he just said politely:

"If you're not happy, forget it. I'll just have to go to the next place and ask. ”

With that, the wizard left on his own.

Later, the river rose day by day, and the villagers finally panicked.

The flood is really coming.

And now, when the whole village was in chaos, Cao Jiu remembered what had happened before.

"Disaster for the earth" - the flood is coming.

"There is no defense here" - they really did not prepare for any flooding.

What the wizard said was true!

Cao Jiu suddenly regretted it, and that day, he was also watching from the sidelines, but he didn't ask the wizard clearly about the specific method of how the wind god saved everyone.

He glanced back at the embankment.

Water is starting to seep there.

Heavy rain and wind whistling in the air, the river is choppy, and the embankment will soon collapse.

Now, although the villagers are rushing to their homes, they are afraid that they will not have time to escape.

It's too late!

Cao Jiu recalled the direction in which the wizard left that day, it should be...... That road to the east of the village!

He no longer bothered to look for any tall mountain trees, but ran desperately in that direction, and as he ran, he remembered what the wizard had said that day.

What did the wizard say...... Aeolus gave everyone a chance?

Sacrifice...... Die for everyone?

A decisive thought flashed through Cao Jiu's mind.

As he ran, he roared loudly in the rain:

"Wizard! Wizard, where are you! Wizard of the Anemo God! ”

"Come back! If there's still a chance, I promise you! I'm willing to die for everyone! I'm going to keep them alive! ”

From childhood to adulthood, warm memories flashed in Cao Jiu's heart.

Every bit of food and every piece of clothing he had was given to him by the well-wishers in the village.

Everyone didn't have much to eat, and everyone in the village didn't have enough to eat and wear, but even if they themselves didn't eat enough sometimes, they would divide the contents of the bowl and let Cao Jiu eat.

Even when the flood came, they used their strong bodies to constantly dig and transport rocks to block the collapse of the river embankment, and instead let Cao Jiu take on the lighter errand work.

In the pouring rain, Cao Jiu cried while running:

"But wizards, wizards, please, everyone is a good person, everyone can't die!"

"If I can keep everyone in the village alive, I'm willing to die, O wind god, please!"

A bolt of lightning swept through the rain, and the blinding light shone through the heavens and the earth, and the thunder roared.

By the light of lightning, Cao Jiu saw that at the end of the road leading to the east, there was a man standing.

When did he show up, or did he stand there all the time?

Cao Jiu didn't know, but what he did know was that person-

It's a wizard! That sorcerer of the Anemo God!
