No one knows when the world first appeared, and no one understands where they came from, everyone is trying their best to survive, although they don't know why they live.

When I was a child, I had heard that the old gentleman who had heard the story said that all the beings who appeared in this world were guilty, because they had made a terrible mistake and angered the gods, so they would be erased by the gods and exiled here from another world to atone for their sins.

Wuli Village is one of the smallest corners of the world, surrounded by fog on all sides, mysterious and profound, hence the name.

The villagers of Wuli Village are kind and simple, hard-working, and are a group of honest people who uphold the principle of not stealing or robbing, and relying on their own hands to farm and work hard to support their families, I am a member of this Wuli Village, my father's name is Haktochawu, my mother's name is Meda Gorfang, I have an older brother, my name is Haktovig, and my brother's name is Haktowuge.

For thousands of years, Wuli Village has relied on the dense fog tightly wrapped, and life is like a paradise, and no outsiders have ever been here, that is, in this year, four biao-shaped men rode their mounts through the mysterious fog to come here, and their arrival completely shattered the peace and tranquility of Wuli Village.

I was eight years old, and my brother Haktoug was fourteen.

No one knows how these four fierce men came here through the fog, and no one knows who their names are or where they come from, but they say: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come." ”

Early in the morning, I was still sleeping in the bed, and dimly heard my father and mother anxiously discussing something, because I was in a half-asleep and half-awake, and I could only hear some scattered fragments, which probably meant that there were four fierce strangers in the village, and the village chief went to negotiate with them, and one of them was a man with a big axe without saying a word, and the axe split the village chief into two parts.

"Hey, Vig, wake up, don't sleep. ”

I was listening carefully to what my parents were going to say next, when my brother Haktowug stretched out his right index finger and poked me in the waist and whispered in my ear.

I slowly opened my eyes, turned my head to look at Wuge lying beside me, and in my eyes, his eyes were wide and round, and he was staring at me with excitement on his face.

I was startled by him, my heart beat faster and thumpered up and down, and I said that some kind of monster was looking at its prey with a curtain, and was about to shout for help, and then he saw his left hand swing forward, and then covered my mouth tightly, so that I could not make a sound, at the same time, he frowned and gently raised his right hand in front of his mouth, and squeezed his eyebrows at me for a while, which seemed to warn me, be quiet, don't let my parents find out.

I suddenly remembered that every night I slept in the same bed with Wuge, I was timid, I slept inside, and he was bold enough to sleep outside, thinking of this, I nodded calmly.

Seeing that I seemed to be calming down, Wu Ge gently withdrew the left hand covering my mouth, and I quickly lowered my voice and asked, "How.. What's wrong?"

Wu Ge moved his lips slightly, and said softly, "There are a few strangers in the village. ”

"Oh . . . Oh.." I nodded.

"Aren't you surprised? Stranger is here?" Ug continued to ask, looking at me suspiciously, seeing that I was unresponsive.

"That's... What's so surprising about that..."

"Eh, little Vig, aren't you surprised, are you? I can hear what my father and mother said clearly, do you know what these uninvited guests are here for?"

"What are you doing?"

"The murder is coming...!"

"Ah?!" Wuge's words almost scared my jaw off, and I heard my father and mother whispering something on the side, I thought I was dreaming, but now I think about it, it's not a dream, I heard it clearly, the village chief of Tuokebu called someone to split an axe in half, and I just reacted, I, who have always been known for my timidity, almost urinated on the bed, and my whole body, including my teeth, was shaking.

"What a veritable coward. Seeing that I was as scared as a quail, Wuge couldn't stop covering his mouth and snickering.

"I... I don't.. Unafraid. I blushed and hurriedly defended myself, but I still shivered.

Wu Ge glanced at me with a sneering face, and continued: "Then you said, you are not afraid, I will go to see what those strangers are like, will you go with me?"

"I..." told me intellectually that I shouldn't go, but I didn't dare to say that, for fear that Wuge would laugh at me again, and I couldn't explain it for a long time.

"This group of strangers should be magicians who can manipulate magic, Mr. Max at the end of the village once killed a wild boar that ran here from the fog when he was young, I heard that he found a red bead in the boar's belly, he has the ability to control the fire after eating the bead, in my opinion, it is better to ask Mr. Max to come out to deal with them, even if they can't beat them, we also have bargaining chips, it's a big deal that we and them are dead, no one will live." Just as I was torn between how to answer, the voice of my father, Haktochawu, came to my ears.

"Well, then do as you say. Then came the mother's helpless sigh and pale words.

"Knock knock..." (knock on the door)

Hearing this, my father hurriedly picked up the long knife hanging on the grass wall to cut trees, and asked vigilantly, "Who?!"

"It's me, Mr. Lebomu, Mr. Chawu, open the door for me, I have something to go in and discuss with you. ”

"Is there anyone else? are you alone?" the father was not at ease, for fear that Mr. Lebomu would be controlled by others, and every family would knock on the door and ask for his life.

"No, I'm alone. ”

The father nodded suspiciously, looked at the mother, and saw that the mother picked up the dagger on the wooden table and pinned it to her waist, so she came to the door and opened it gently.

"Hey, Mr. Cha Wu, something is wrong!!" As soon as my father opened the door, he heard Mr. Lebomu's anxious voice before he could see Mr. Lebomu's appearance.

"Don't worry, let's talk first. The father let Mr. Lebomu into the house, put his head out of the door, looked left and right, and made sure that there was nothing suspicious, and then closed the door again.

"Sit. His father brought him a stool, and then instructed his mother, "Quickly boil the kettle of hot water and make two cups of strong tea." ”

"Huh... Okay..."Hearing this, the mother quickly turned around and picked up the kettle to prepare to boil water.

"No need, sister-in-law Golfang, no need, when is this happening, why don't you have any thoughts about drinking tea, let's sit down and discuss what to do together." Mr. Lebomu waved his hand and said anxiously.

When my mother heard this, she put the kettle back in its place, found a stool and sat down, and asked with concern, "Brother Lebomu, what the hell is going on? Who are those people? What are they doing here?"

Mr. Le Bomu sighed deeply and said, "Alas, sister-in-law Golfang, don't you know that the village chief died in front of me, that bloody appearance... It scared me so much that they said they wanted each of us to hand over a hundred carts, and if they didn't, they would kill them. ”

"This... How can we have so much money, let alone a hundred Carter, even if it is fifty Carter, we can't afford to pay it, isn't this not leaving no way for people to live?" The mother was almost a little anxious, and as she spoke, tears were already rolling in her eyes.

"Alas... Who's to say it's not. Mr. Lebomu was also sighing on the sidelines, and from his breath, he didn't have so much Carter to hand over to others.

"Bang!"

When my father heard this, he stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, and said angrily: "Since they don't give us a way to live, then according to what I thought before, let's fight with them! I'll go to the end of the village to find Mr. McCas and ask him to come out and help, and we'll die with them!"

"Yes, he won't let us have a good time, so we'll fight with them!" Mr. Lebomu seemed to be determined, stood up and clenched his fists excitedly.

"First of all, Brother Lebomu, you go back and take care of Mrs. Tikecci, and I will go to the end of the village to ask for Mr. McCass. The father got up and opened the door, and turned to Mr. Lebomu.

"Good!" Mr. Lebomu nodded and walked out the door.

"Melfang, protect our children, I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

"Go and come back. ”

When my father left, my mother hurriedly closed the door again, pulled out the dagger at her waist and stood vigilantly in front of the door, sighing incessantly.

Mr. Loeb returned home, and he did not know what to say to his wife, Tikec, but it was not long before he heard the sound of Mrs. Tikecs scolding from next door.

"Run?!Where are you going?!"

"Be quiet, don't let anyone hear. Mr. Lebomu's words reached Mrs. Tikec's ears as if adding fuel to the fire, and Mrs. Tikecs became even more angry.

"Are you embarrassed to say, are you still afraid that others will hear it? Waste, how did I marry such a wretch as you, I have been with you for 20 years, and I haven't told you anything about a child? Now that the disaster is coming, you are not like a man who rushes out to fight to the end with them, do you still want to run? Do you have the face to run you?"

“...”

"If you want to run, I can't afford to lose this person, I tell you, Lebomu, if you run away, you won't come back!"

”...”

"Le Bomu, if you are still a man, don't expect others to take weapons and beat those bandits away, so that they can all get out of Wuli Village for me!"

Mr. Loebwood never replied, and allowed Mrs. Tikecs to reprimand him in every cunning way.

When my mother heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head and sighed deeply again.

"Okay, you Lebomu, can't you bear it? Bear it! If you don't take up your arms and take the initiative to resist, when they come to the door, either your head will roll under my feet, or my head will roll under your feet!"

When my mother heard this, she had the heart to open the door and go to Mr. Lebomu's house to persuade Mrs. Ticage, but she turned her head to look at me and Wu Ge who were still asleep on the bed, gritted her teeth and gave up this idea, no one could tell what would happen in the next second, as if the sky was falling, without warning, all she could do was to guard our side and never leave an inch.

"Tong!" A loud bang came from Mr. Lebomu's house next door, which scared me and Brother Wuge, and we couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?"

After the loud noise, there was silence for a moment, and then Mr. Lebomu shouted, "These dogs! I'm going to cut them now!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door of Mr. Lebomu's house open, and a rush of footsteps rushed out of the door.

"It's broken!" said my mother, too, and hurriedly looked through the crack in the door, and saw Mr. Na Lebomu passing by my door with a long knife for chopping wood in his right hand with an angry face, and he was planning to fight to the death with the four uninvited guests.

Thinking of this, my mother hurriedly opened the door, poked her head out of the door, and shouted, "Brother Lebomu, why are you going?"

Mr. Lebomu seemed to hear his mother's call behind him, and he paused and tilted his head sideways, as if he wanted to turn around and answer, but hesitated.

Mrs. Tikecs also rushed out of the door with a long knife at this time, and came to her mother's side in a few steps, and looked at Mr. Lebomu not far away with a look of contempt, raised her chin and said loudly: "Let him go! Leave him alone!

"This..."The mother didn't know how to answer when she heard this, but Mr. Lebomu heard it very clearly, and his heart sank, and he turned his head and continued to walk forward violently.

Seeing that Mr. Lebomu was walking faster and faster, his mother asked Mrs. Tikecs beside her worriedly: "Mrs. Tikec, you chase him back quickly, he will die in vain if he goes alone." ”

Mrs. Tikecs didn't seem to be out of breath yet, she gasped for a while, glanced at the back of Mr. Lebomu, who was getting farther and farther away, and replied: "Don't worry, sister-in-law Melfang, I know what kind of temperament this dog is, and if you take a few more steps, he will come back obediently, he doesn't have the guts." ”

"But... The mother wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only let Mr. Lebomu's figure fade away.

As he spoke, Mr. Lebomu had come to the corner of the village, and after this bend, he could reach the entrance of the village, where the four intruders were waiting for the villagers to obediently deliver bags of Carter.

Seeing that Mr. Nale Bomu did not stop at all, turned straight in, and disappeared from the sight of the two, the mother panicked, and hurriedly said nervously: "Mrs. Tikecci, go and take a look, don't really make a fuss." ”

Mrs. Tikecs was also angry, her left hand was pinched on her waist, her right hand was holding a long knife, and she looked suspiciously at the place where Mr. Lebomu was before he disappeared, she thought for a while, and replied: "Don't worry, he, where is he hiding at this moment, it won't be long before he returns." ”

Despite what Mrs. Tikecs said, her mother was not at ease, and thought to herself to take a look, and turned her head to look into the room, but held back.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and the mother's heart became more and more panicked, for fear that something would happen to Mr. Lebomu, so she said to Mrs. Tikaic: "Mrs. Tikaic, there is no way to wait like this, you help me take care of my two children, I will go and see, if Brother Lebomu is really hiding somewhere, I will persuade him to come back, and let him apologize to you, so that both you and Brother Lebomu will have a step down." ”

Mrs. Tikage looked like she didn't care about herself and didn't worry about it, but she gradually became scared in her heart, with her understanding of Mr. Lebomu, it was like this for a while, that Mr. Lebomu should have come back a long time ago, the big deal was to make up a reason that she didn't find those robbers, and she dealt with it, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, all kinds of pictures of the two of them in the past twenty years rushed to her mind, her intuition told her that she was wrong, her voice suddenly became hoarse, and she turned her head slowly, a pair of eyes were scattered, and she kept blinking her eyes, as if she was looking at her mother and seemed to be thinking about something。

"Hmm... That.. Then don't bother sister-in-law Melfang, I.. I'm going to get him back. Speaking of this, I didn't forget to add a sentence against my will: "This dog thing! Look how I catch him and clean him up!" As soon as the words fell, before his mother could reply, he took a few steps with a long knife and walked far away, hurried to the corner.

"Be careful. Seeing that she was in a hurry, her mother shouted behind her.

Seeing that Tikecki also disappeared around the corner, the mother hurriedly retreated into the house, closed the door again, and carefully watched every move outside the door through the crack in the door.

"Mother Melfang, what's going on?" asked Ug as he sat up first.

Seeing that Ugle was not pretending to be asleep, I rubbed my eyes and sat up as he did: "Yes, what's the matter, Mother Melfang? ”

When my mother saw that I was awake, she didn't answer, so she laboriously moved the wooden table to the bed, put the food and chopsticks on the table, touched my little heads, and said gently: "There is a little thing in the village, and the brave father has gone out to find a way to solve it, don't worry, little babies, the food is still hot, you eat it while it's hot." ”

Mother thought that I didn't know anything about Wuge, so I turned my head to look at Wuge, and Wuge also turned his head to look at me, and when I looked at each other, I raised my eyebrows slightly, as if to ask, "Do you want to tell my mother everything I know?"

Wu Ge seemed to be like a person who had nothing to do, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp, but I still didn't stop shaking, I took several deep breaths to restrain the fear in my heart, and then I began to eat, although I tried to restrain myself, the left hand holding the bowl still trembled.

I remember when I was very young, my father took me to the only tavern in the village to listen to books, there was a mysterious storyteller, no one knew where he came from, no one knew his name, only that he would come here on time at the end of every month to tell the story, and he would leave after finishing the book, because he was a storyteller, and he was very friendly to people on weekdays, and no one asked him about his origin, only that he was a person outside the village of Wuli.

The storyteller's book is very wonderful, and what he says is something outside of the Foggy Village, something that I have never heard of or seen, and even what I feel is very incredible.

The world outside the so-called Wuli Village in his mouth is like a Shura hell, where people fight each other, beasts eat each other, and the whole world is bleeding all the time.

He also said: "All people are demons in human skin, they wander or wander in every corner of the world, and if you are not strong enough, if you are not careful enough, you will be bitten from behind by him with his long, sharp fangs, and you will never stop if you do not drain your blood."

That is, because of the storyteller's words, since then, I always feel that someone is following me when I walk, and I often turn around a few steps to see clearly, for fear that people will open their mouths and eat me to a bone, and my courage has become smaller and smaller since then, no matter where I go, I always have to follow someone to accompany me, so that my heart is steady.
