The gravel-paved path turns a corner on the hillside and leads to a nearby orchard.

There are no weeds on the ground.

The simple wooden fence is surrounded by a large circle outside, which is very high, in addition to preventing those greedy little animals, but also to prevent those little devils in the town.

The tall wooden door was pushed open, and a small bamboo basket was squeezed out of the crack in the door.

He stepped out with his two feet, then sideways the small bamboo basket on his back, and finally quickly withdrew his two hands.

Bang!

Losing its strength support, the wooden door slammed shut.

"Thank you, Mrs. Bell!" Smaller than the root leaned on the door frame and shouted inside.

Through the gap in the wooden door, a woman in the orchard with a turban on her head, a cloth coat, and a somewhat thick waist and arms could be seen smiling and waving her hand.

He shook his hand vigorously at the crack in the door, and then looked again, and when he was sure that Mrs. Bell saw it, he jumped off the door frame and walked down the hill along the gravel road.

The bamboo basket contains a kind of fruit called breadfruit by the children of Blackstone, which is yellow and has a rough surface, although the nutritional value is not high, but because the taste is very similar to freshly baked bread, it is very popular with the children of Blackstone.

Many families in need sometimes eat this fruit for dinner.

Carrying the bamboo basket that was smaller than a root was his and his mother's dinner today, a total of six freshly ripe breadfruits.

Although his family is not in a difficult situation and does not need breadfruit as relief food, it is his birthday, and Mrs. Bell, who has been close to his family since his father joined Bell's team, has made it difficult for him to pick six breadfruits as a reward for his successful growth to the age of six.

Yes, he was six years old, with black hair, amber eyes like his mother, and a figure that seemed to have been inherited from his father, and he wasn't strong compared to the other kids in town.

But it's not thin anymore.

Stepping onto a relatively large stone slab, Xiao Gen stopped, bent his arm and puffed up the muscles he might have grown, thinking about the posture that his father had taught him before, punched the air, grinned white teeth, and continued to run across the stone slab.

There weren't many weeds around, and large areas of land had been opened up into fields and orchards, through which small figures with bamboo baskets on their backs flew through them, and soon approached Blackstone Town.

The sky was not as bright as it was at noon, and the black roofs at the foot of the mountain appeared in the field of vision, and white smoke had already drifted from the few chimneys, slowly drifting towards the sky.

It's dinner time.

He stopped and measured the length of the smoke with his fingers, and walked slowly.

The winding gravel road stretches all the way into the town, and after passing the iron gate in the town, it becomes a large and smooth stone road, where many forks of the road divide and lead to different places.

After saying hello to the old hunter who was said to have been the former squad leader many years ago, and saying hello to the big yellow dog who lived at the door of the Wende family who lived on the edge of the town, he took a breath and chose the nearest road to his home, humming a strange tune that was sometimes low and sometimes high.

But he soon ran into trouble.

A tall, muscular figure that looked a full circle larger than him suddenly burst out from behind the house, blocking his way.

"Look who's coming! It's a deception! ”

There was a giggling sound from the back of the house, and five or six children about the size of the smaller ones ran out and surrounded the smaller ones.

"Liar people!"

"Liar people!"

……

A group of little ones shouted happily.

Xiao Gen blushed, looked at these former playmates and said loudly, "I didn't lie to you! I'm not a liar root! ”

"And said that you didn't lie, you took out the shadow wolf teeth that your father hunted and took a look!" The little guy who stopped him at first said loudly.

In Blackstone, children love to show off their prey, and in their opinion, it's a testament to courage and honor.

The one who can take out the parts of the most precious prey is usually the child king.

One by one, the children fought for this glory, and it was often reported in the town that a child who had failed in the competition came home and asked his father why he didn't go to the headhunter werewolf to come back, and then was beaten so that he couldn't get out of bed the next day.

The previous Less-than-Root is no exception.

When his father was still there, every time his father came back from hunting, he would desperately get some parts like teeth, claws, etc., and then bring them to show off to his friends the next day.

But when the news of the destruction of the Falcon Sixth Squad came last month, everything changed.

Although the little ones in the town don't look down on anyone because someone dies, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Blackstone, and the high risk of living in the Shadow Forest is enough to make such a mortality rate become commonplace, and the children have long been used to it, and they have long regarded it as a norm.

But unfortunately, the day before the news of his father's death returned to the town, Xiao Gen just made a promise with his friends to take out the shadow wolf tooth that his father had treasured for a long time to show everyone, and the next day, after learning of his father's death, his mother buried this favorite treasure of his father's life in the ground instead of his father.

Xiaogen, who had always been playful, did not object that day, he didn't remember anything other than crying at the time, and of course, he didn't regret it later, because he also felt that it was as it should be.

But if you don't fulfill your promise, you don't fulfill your promise, and if you don't come up with something the next day, he will become what the children call a "liar root", a guy who can only brag!

"Oh! Let me see what's inside? The leading child king pulled the children around him away, and suddenly came over, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's breadfruit!" ”

As soon as the children around heard the name of the breadfruit, their eyes lit up.

Xiao Gen immediately hugged the small bamboo basket into his arms, his movements were fast, and his eyes were staring at them: "What are you going to do, this is my mother's dinner with me, if you dare to rob me, I will tell the wizard!" ”

He knew exactly what these guys were trying to do, because he had been one of them before.

Hearing the word wizard, the group of children hesitated, apparently the name was more intimidating than their father's fist.

But...... How can a threat from far away compare to breadfruit close to your mouth?!

Soon, after the eldest child shouted, "How can the wizard ignore you, this deceitful root", a group of children rushed up to grab the breadfruit and ran away.

While running and discussing where to go for a while, the leading child ran the fastest, chewing breadfruit in his mouth and screaming loudly for a while before going to the gate, I heard that there were some special guests coming here today. I want to talk about "Infinite Crazy Amusement Park" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
