Chapter 3: Suffering

As dawn fell, the sky was still covered with delicate rain, the valley was foggy, and the mournful chirping of birds echoed in the distance. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the blur, there was a commotion around, Ye Mo blinked his eyes and woke up, as if he had just fallen asleep, the night became so short, but the time to wake up was extremely long.

In this panic and confusion, everyone, like Ye Mo, would rather sleep in a tired dream than face this day of escape.

Where is the future? All the civilians with dazed and uneasy faces written on them, they don't know where to go, whether the Burning Sun City ahead will really be the end, whether it will be hope, they don't know. The Iron Flame King will not allow a group of cowardly people to enter his territory, and those who are isolated in the small towns in the mountains are no different from the exiles, and even if they are hunted down and ravaged by murderous demons, their king will not show the slightest pity, even as a humiliation.

Weakness is the original sin, and the law of the jungle is the law of the Yantie tribe.

The little boy Ye Mo opened his eyes to reflect his sister's beautiful face, the corner of Xinyue's mouth showed a stiff smile, rubbed Ye Mo's black hair, and repeated the sentence, "Don't be afraid, my sister is here!" She said.

The fleeing crowd set off again, the fog accompanied the world obscured by fear, and the dawn could not dispel the haze brought by the evil dragon, perhaps the darkness fell, and the light in the world became scarce!

In the silent silence, the march will not stop, they must keep walking, even the smallest ants, have the hope of living, not to mention that they are still a group of people.

Big hands holding small hands, the little boy Ye Mo became silent today, the uneasiness and fear on his face were gradually subdued by him, unlike most of his peers, Ye Mo has adapted to the pain of losing his loved ones and the hesitation of losing his home in a short period of time, this is not to say that Ye Mo is cold-blooded and ruthless, but he can learn to hide his emotions better, keep himself calm, and his adaptability is stronger than all of them.

As if he had grown up overnight, the immature boy's face became resolute, and his numbness and confusion were swallowed up by those deep and calm eyes.

Chen Huzi's gaze will always drift to Ye Mo intentionally or unintentionally, as the closest sister did not notice the changes in Ye Mo, the corners of Chen Huzi's mouth curled slightly, and he muttered in a small voice, "Even if she is scared to death, she will be forced to face and adapt, worthy of her child!" ”

The strange thing that happened last night, Ye Mo didn't mention it to anyone, even if it was his sister, Ye Mo didn't tell it, although it was just a trivial matter, Ye Mo subconsciously had a bad feeling, perhaps, that night was the night when fate changed!

In the fog-shrouded Iron Ridge Mountains, a group of dejected men walked along the railroad into the distance, and they climbed over the mountains and over the thorny jungle to see the highest mountain in the eastern region.

The rain stopped, the sunset was like blood, and a large group of people stood on the plain, looking at a towering mountain in the distance, on which floated a golden flag tens of meters long, embroidered with golden swords and shields.

As long as it is a person from the Yantie tribe, there is no one who does not know the meaning of the flag.

Shield of Daybreak, Sword of Dawn!

Legend has it that this mountain is called the giant god, and it is the closest place to the god, if the god really exists.

Burning Sun City is built around the Giant God Peak, and the layers of palaces are majestic, and from a distance, you can vaguely see some people coming and going.

The sunset reflected the youthful appearance of the sister and brother, and Ye Mo looked at the city in the distance, which gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen and lived before.

Chen Huzi led the old horse, looked back at the boy, and hesitated.

You're back here after all, and with such a fate in front of you, I don't know how much heart-rending pain you'll endure. The old man's eyes were blurred with tears, and he sighed with a smile.

Ye Mo subconsciously looked at him and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" "As a human being, Ye Mo is not very able to understand the complex emotions that he should have, and the blank past like a child needs more experience to teach him how to be a person.

"It's nothing, I see hope, so I'm a little excited!" After Chen Huzi finished speaking, he pulled the reins and said, "Let's go, I'll take you into the city!" ”

Ye Mo and his sister followed in the footsteps of the old man, separated the crowd, and walked towards another path.

"Aren't you with everyone?" Ye Mo was led by his sister and asked Chen Huzi.

Chen Huzi didn't look back, but responded flatly, "No, each has its own destiny, I will take you into the city from now on." Speaking of this, Chen Huzi looked back at Ye Mo sharply and muttered, "You have to learn to live alone!" ”

Some people are born to face and live alone, it's not a big deal, it's just life.

Xinyue looked at Chen Huzi thoughtfully, a look of enlightenment crossed her eyes, she could understand many things that Ye Mo didn't know, this was also something she was born to have, but many of the past things were abandoned and hidden by her.

About two hours away, Ye Mo and his sister followed Chen Huzi to the bottom of the city, not the main gate, but a dilapidated stone gate, there was a row of chairs next to the stone gate, and on the chairs sat a one-eyed blonde old man, the old man wiped a broken sword with a greasy black cloth.

When the three of them came over, the one-eyed old man looked up at Chen Huzi, his cloudy eyes were slightly startled, Chen Huzi nodded at him, and the one-eyed old man looked up slightly at the two sisters and brothers in the back, and looked at the new moon very carefully. A beautiful girl with silver hair, indifferent with a hint of disdain and hatred, a simple black-haired boy, looking at everything around her with clear eyes, a faint curiosity in her eyes, and a touch of sadness.

"Ahem!" Ye Mo suddenly couldn't help coughing twice, and his originally unharmed body made it a little difficult for him to breathe.

Xinyue's expression softened, turned around and took her brother in her arms, and patted Ye Mo's back lovingly.

Chen Huzi stood at the stone gate, turned to the two sisters and brothers, and said, "That's it, that's all I can help you, you can go in from here!" ”

Ye Mo looked at him suspiciously again: "What about you, don't you go with us?" ”

"No!" Chen Huzi shook his head with a smile, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes that he forcibly hidden.

"Let's go." Xinyue didn't seem to be surprised at all, and she pulled her brother and walked towards the stone gate.

Ye Mo took his sister's hand, stopped at the stone gate, and turned to look behind.

Chen Huzi led the three old horses, the black tattered cloak fluttered behind him, and under the old hat, his vicissitudes of stubble face smiled and waved his hand towards Ye Mo.

Ye Mo also waved his little hand, and his sister pulled hard, Ye Mo sighed, and was dragged by his sister to the dim corridor.

……

In less than a few minutes, the sister and brother entered the Burning Sun City through the narrow corridor, and when they came out of the darkness, there were suddenly noisy sounds all around, and the light was sprinkled, and the sister and brother stood at the low entrance of the cave and looked around.

A street led to the front, densely packed with houses on both sides, and there were many people coming and going, including a group of guards in golden armor.

The little boy looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and the commotion in his ears continued, but his heart was extremely quiet.

At this time, a group of armored guards walked towards this side, and a short and stout man with a Chinese face shouted with a thick rope: "Give me a careful investigation, because of the evil dragon incident recently, many exiles have secretly broken into the city, and the whistleblower can receive a reward of one gold coin, and the one who hides is dead!" The Sacred City of the Sun will not be defiled by the scum! ”

Ye Mo was stunned when he heard the shouting, and countless emotions grew in his heart.

Isn't this everyone's hope? Why......

"Let's go!" Xinyue picked up Ye Mo, flew over a three-meter-wide stinky ditch in front of her, jumped to the opposite side as lightly as red, and ran to the long street in front of her younger brother with extremely dexterous steps.

Ye Mo in my sister's arms lowered her head, her eyes and pupils dilated, and there was a sense of unwanted unwillingness and hatred in her heart.

Why, why did everyone desperately want to go to the place, but in the end it ended up like this?

No one can tell Ye Mo the answer, and some answers can't be found in a lifetime.

The running girl hugged the thin boy, they looked embarrassed, their faces were dirty, they looked like beggars, and everyone around them avoided them with disgust and disdain, for fear of being touched by them.

I don't know how far I ran, feeling my sister's heartbeat and gradually rapid breathing, Ye Mo didn't have time to surprise my sister's ability, and whispered worriedly: "Sister, take a break, they can't catch up." “

The girl stopped at the mouth of a hidden alley, which was a garbage dump, filled with a foul smell, a paradise for rats, wild cats and wild dogs.

She panted hard, hugged her brother and slowed down her pace to walk inside, her bright and beautiful eyes were shaking, and her mind kept thinking about the way to live, she only needed a way to live, and she lived with her lovely and simple brother.

The girl stood indifferently in the middle of the garbage dump, and the mice and wild cats around looked at the two sisters and brothers curiously, running around and chattering.

"Get out!" The girl's voice roared coldly.

The surrounding wild cat rats seemed to hear the demon's roar, and instantly exploded in fright, and all of them rushed to run in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the garbage dump fell silent.

Ye Mo was lying in his sister's arms, and at that moment just now, he only felt that his sister was extremely strange, so strange that Ye Mo was afraid.

The girl looked down at her brother in her arms, the boy's frightened gaze made her heart tremble, her expression immediately softened, and she smiled: "Don't be afraid, with my sister here, you will be fine." ”

Regaining the familiar feeling again, the uneasiness in Ye Mo's heart dissipated, and with a hum, his pale face showed a painful look, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

The girl's eyes slidied, "Are you hungry?" She asked. With that, she gently put Ye Mo down, and searched the garbage dump for a while, finding a discarded futon, a lame table, two dilapidated benches, and the circular garbage dump was surrounded by four arched corridors, three of which were full of garbage, and only the one inside had a gap a few meters wide, and it was full of rotten wood.

Ye Mo stood in the corridor and watched his sister busy, making a bed out of broken wood, setting up tables and chairs, turning out a few broken books, and a rusty iron can.

After doing all this, she pulled Ye Mo to sit on the edge of the freshly made bed to rest, patted her dirty hands, and looked down at her languishing brother.

"Sister went out to find food for you, don't run around, you know?" Xinyue lowered her head and put her arm around Ye Mo's shoulders and said softly.

Ye Mo nodded and hummed, "You must come back early." ”

"Yes." The girl smiled unnaturally, she rarely smiled, so it seemed unnatural.

Ye Mo sat on the small bed and watched his sister leave, the sunset was falling into the earth, and the garbage dump was embraced by the darkness.
