In September of the first year of the vertical arch, Jiangnan.

An autumn rain and a cold, with little by little, gradually drizzle.

The cold wind came with the autumn rain, and the branches were covered with crystal rain, hanging down. And the rocks, accompanied by the continuous washing of the rain of heaven and earth, tell the slightest coolness.

The trees are depressed, it is late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the valley is full of weeds.

The rain continued to fall, and rain smoke gradually rose from the rain curtain. The sky darkened, and a dark cloud dragon obscured the day. A few faint rays of sunlight were unwillingly obscured by layers of clouds and mist. There was another flash of lightning and thunder, followed by the sound of rolling thunder.

The bean-sized droplets were thrown to the ground with all their might, crackling sounds. The sounds converged, but there was no sound as if there was silence, only the thunder whistled, and the accompanying rain seemed to be whispered by everyone.

People living in human clusters can hide in solid buildings, look out the window at the rain, and keep a candle on each other's fire, conveying each other's warmth. Yet in this empty valley, human beings seem so small between heaven and earth. It seems that existence can be erased in the blink of an eye. But there is always such a group, struggling in the heavens and the earth.

The torrential rain raged through the valley, and a long human dragon slowly moved through the rain.

The man in the long queue was covered with vegetables and his whole body was in tatters. The rain-soaked hair hung messily on his shoulders, or carrying large bags and small bags, or carrying children and daughters, all dragging tired steps, moving step by step.

They are refugees from the war, leaving behind their homeland where they have lived for many years. No city wants to receive this crowd, they are the haze of war. After being rejected by a tall wall, the desperate refugee once again embarks on a journey into the unknown.

The man, with his emaciated mother-in-law and five even thinner children, walked through the crowd with heavy steps. A gray cloth bag was tightly wrapped around the man's emaciated body, and the woman's ragged clothes barely covered her body. The five children were even more unbearable, with their slightly bulging bellies from long-term hunger.

The rain is getting heavier, and the people who walk are getting harder. Countless people looked at the sky in despair, but they could only continue to walk, and could not find shelter from the wind and rain, and this empty valley was their burial place.

Someone in front of him had long since lost his hold and fell to the ground. The rain instantly filled his body, mixing with the muddy ground like a wall of mud.

The woman saw it in her eyes, rolled her already numb eyes, and whispered for the rest of her life: "Daddy, child!" ”

The man didn't seem to hear and continued to walk in the rain with heavy steps.

"Xiao Tieniu!"

The man turned his head, and it was already difficult to see people's faces in the rain. However, the two are next to each other, and the man can still feel the presence of the woman. The woman stared at the man as she clutched several children. The man also remembered the conversation he had with the woman a few days ago.

In the face of this disaster, family affection seems weak. What's more, they don't have much food anymore, and they are already stretched thin to support themselves and their children, let alone the daughters of the man's younger brothers.

The younger brother entrusted his daughter to himself before he died, and he also supported his daughter for so long, which can be regarded as the younger brother's spirit in the sky.

The woman took her four children by the hand, as stubborn as a hen guarding her calf. The man simply stopped looking at the woman, and called behind him: "Qin'er, come here!" ”

A dirty girl poked her head out of the five children and timidly walked up to the man. The man took off the bag, fumbled through the bag for a long time, and took out half a piece of cake. Seeing this, the woman was anxious and reached out to grab it, but when she saw the girl's thin appearance, she withdrew her hand stupidly.

The man wrapped half of the cake in rags and wrapped the cloth around the girl's waist. Even though there was a rain curtain covering his eyes, the man still didn't dare to look at the girl's gaze, he hurriedly commanded the girl, and left in a hurry with his child and mother-in-law.

Xiao Qianqin stood in the rain, and the heavy rain hit the girl's body mercilessly.

……

The torrential rain could not be stopped for a short time, so the caves in the valley became shelters from the wind and rain. There was a constant influx of refugees, and in a matter of moments it was full. Some people who did not find the cave to hide from the rain were eager to enter the cave, but they were kicked away by the people guarding the door, and for a while the shouting and pushing continued.

Xiao Qianqin was lying on the ground panting, and the other people around him were similar to him. Fortunately, she was small, and although she didn't have much strength, she was also dexterous enough to squeeze in from the crowd.

The cave is huge, but there are too many refugees. Xiao Qianqin breathed the thin air with difficulty, and at this time everyone else was also pale, and even more lay motionless on the ground, and someone next to him reached over, already taking in more breath and exhaling less.

There was a commotion outside, and those who had not entered the cave were desperately trying to squeeze into the cave, and getting wet in the bitter cold rain would inevitably lead to a chill. For refugees, getting cold is like a death sentence. Left and right are dead, and the desire to survive dominates the already empty body bursting out with great power.

An inconspicuous-looking old man dragged out a refugee guarding the entrance of the cave, and his thin body slipped into it as nimble as a snake. With this precedent, the refugees outside the cave entrance seem to have found hope of survival, and they have dragged them to the people guarding the cave entrance. The people in the cave were furious, and although both sides were refugees who had been hungry for a long time, they were also exerting all their strength to survive at this moment.

"Someone's dead! Someone's killed! ”

Someone screamed, and the scene became even more chaotic. The people in the cave retreated one after another, but there was a thick stone wall behind them, and where could they retreat?

A man with sharp eyes saw at a glance a woman with a child in her arms still crowded at the entrance of the cave. At this time, I only listened to the "click" for a lifetime, and a lightning bolt came down. The mortal's fear of Tianwei prompted him to grab at the woman. The woman felt that someone was grabbing him, and in a hurry, she threw the child in her arms to the ground with an "ah".

The woman felt that the sky was dark, and cried out, "My child! Then he stooped down to find it. But this cave is crowded with people, and even marching an inch is an extravagant hope, how can they bend down. Seeing that the little man in the swaddling clothes was kicked back and forth by countless feet, he finally disappeared.

"Ahh Yes! Oh my God! Open your eyes! ”

The woman roared and looked at the sky, then her eyes rolled and she fainted, and her thin body was instantly engulfed by the sea of people.

As if a call was heard, suddenly a flash of lightning. A powerful day appeared between heaven and earth, and for a brief moment, everyone seemed to lose consciousness. There was a sudden pause, but suddenly there was a loud roar. The heavens and the earth began to shake, and the solid earth cracked at this time. Soil and rocks were falling from the heights, and the small cave was shaking.

The earth dragon rolls over!

Under natural disasters, human beings seem incomparably small. Someone yelled, "Run!" The people in the cave squeezed forward desperately,

Falling rocks kept falling from the mountain.

A crack cracked open from the hole, and only a loud "click" was heard, and a large hole was cracked out of thin air. I don't know how deep this hole is, but it is right next to Xiao Qianqin. Xiao Qianqin felt a majestic loud noise next to her, and her head was dizzy for a while. He scrambled to his feet, only to find that he had no strength to stand up.

A man ran out in a panic, and his rough straw sandals tripped over a stone. This inertia was extremely great, and it directly pushed this man down the abyss. The man was in a hurry, reaching out and scratching at the rocks next to him. But at this moment, he actually caught Xiao Qianqin's calf by coincidence.

Where is the weight of a man that a child can bear. Xiao Qianqin only felt a huge force coming, only to feel that the sky was dark, and the light was farther away from him, and he fainted suddenly.

……

Xiao Qianqin woke up from a coma, she played with her already paralyzed limbs, and she could only feel their presence when she moved.

She felt someone tugging at the cloth bag wrapped around her waist, and subconsciously protected it with her hands, which undoubtedly angered the man, and the straw sandals stepped heavily on her body.

Xiao Qianqin endured punches and kicks, but never dared to let go, and there was still half a piece of cake in the cloth bag.

Without food, she will starve to death.

There were more and more robbers, Xiao Qianqin's thin arms could no longer protect the cloth bag, and she felt the greedy roar of the people around her, which exploded in her ears, making her already confused head even more confused.

The eyes were getting darker and darker, and the ghosts of those figures began to sway.

A man rushed up to him and shouted, "Get out of here!" Whoever dares to step forward, I will kill him! ”

The voice kept echoing in Xiao Qianqin's mind, gradually reverberating, and gradually became an echo, accompanying her consciousness gradually retreating into darkness.
