In the open space under the scorching sun, more than a dozen teenagers lined up, doing push-ups at an average speed of one every two seconds.

Around them, a man was watching coldly, and from time to time he was reading the password aloud.

The young man's body was constantly dripping with sweat, and the clothes on his body were already soaked, but even so, they did not slack off in the slightest.

As long as the password has not stopped, they will not stop, no matter how tired and difficult it is, they must grit their teeth and hold on to the last moment to squeeze out the last bit of strength in their bodies.

"The day after tomorrow is the day of entering the ancestral land, which is related to the fate of your whole life, according to the tradition of the clan, today will be the last day of special training. ”

His name is Zhou Xiong, and his task is to train newcomers in the village, and whenever the day is about to enter the ancestral land, he is very proud in his heart.

Watching the young men he had trained enter the ancestral land one by one and be blessed by the ancestors, he felt happier than anyone else.

And the dozen or so people in front of him are the people who have entered the ancestral land.

"As for tomorrow, there will be no special training, no penance, only enjoyment. ”

Among these dozen people, how many of them can be blessed by the ancestors, and he is not worried, because that is not for him to decide.

What he can do is to do everything he can to temper these children and increase their success rate of being blessed.

Back then, he was also trained by instructors in this way, but unfortunately, it still did not reach the level of being blessed by the ancestors.

But he didn't give up, even if his talent was not enough, but he was happier to be able to watch the young people in the village being blessed by the ancestors than he was to be blessed by the ancestors.

"That's all for today, go back and have a good rest, and disband. ”

Under Zhou Xiong's order, the teenagers dispersed in a hurry, eager to return home and enjoy the delicious food.

Zhou Xiong said: "San'er, come here." ”

Of all the people, only one did not leave.

"Teacher, you call me?" said the young man with a calm face.

The reason why he didn't leave at the first time was because he was an orphan and didn't know who his parents were or what they looked like since he was a child.

"Come to my house for dinner!" Zhou Xiong finished speaking, and without waiting for the young man to answer, he turned around and left.

"Thank you!" the young man said softly, looking at Zhou Xiong's departing back, his heart was full of gratitude.

......

"It's out, it's out. ”

"That's the child of the old Li family. ”

"And the children of the Zhou family also came out. ”

"My grandson, that's my grandson, look......"

......

In a cave with no end in sight, I vaguely saw the figures of more than a dozen teenagers.

Meanwhile, outside the cave, hundreds of villagers are waiting.

At the moment when the boy appeared, a cheer suddenly sounded.

This cave is the ancestral land in the village, and it contains the spirits of the ancestors.

Every three years, the village sends all thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys to the ancestral land to pray for the blessings of their ancestors.

Those who are blessed by the ancestors will have totem marks on their bodies.

The more complete the totem imprint, the higher the talent and the more benefits obtained, and vice versa, the recognition is low and the benefits are few.

But even the people with the lowest degree of recognition will have totemic marks representing the ancestors on their bodies, although they are of no practical use, but they are proof of identity.

But the young man who walked at the end didn't even have a trace on his body.

......

Three years have passed, but he still can't forget that day.

Under the gaze of everyone in the village, he walked out of the ancestral land without the slightest mark on his body.

This means that he is the one who has been spurned by his ancestors, and there will be no place for him in the village.

The next day, he left the village, and Zhou Xiong was the only one who went to see him off.

The night in the forest is very beautiful.

The dazzling stars, like human eyes, are looking at the whole earth at all times.

Legend has it that every person who dies will turn into stars in the sky and watch their loved ones.

In this starry sky, is there a star watching you?

He had spent three years in the forest since he left the village, and in addition to the treacherous environment, he could be attacked by wild beasts at any time, and only this starry sky could give him some comfort.

"Squeak!"

Just as the boy was indulging in the beauty under the stars, there was a sound in the nearby grass.

Then a black shadow suddenly burst out, and the target was the young man.

But at this time, the young man had already heard the sound, and he was on guard, and immediately rolled over and dodged the attack.

"It's just a wolf cub!"

After dodging the shadows, the boy also recognized the true face of the creature that launched the attack.

In this forest, there are many wolf creatures, and the boy knows it very well.

Not long ago, he had met a pack of wolves that had come out to hunt.

However, the boy was familiar with the habits of most of the creatures in this forest, and he avoided them before they were discovered by the wolves.

"Is it lost?"

The boy shook his head, "Impossible, with the wolf's sense of smell, even if it is lost, it will be found quickly, if this young wolf is really lost, that is, its parents are likely to appear soon, this is not good news." ”

At night, wolves are extremely dangerous creatures that are difficult to get rid of due to their keen sense of smell.

Coupled with the fact that wolves are social creatures, the danger is even higher.

"Woohoo"

Just as the boy was thinking, the young wolf pounced again, and the boy just glanced at it and easily dodged it.

But the young wolf seemed to be tireless, constantly culling the boy, but he couldn't even touch the corner of the boy's clothes.

The boy lived alone in the forest for three years, and moved out from the depths of the forest.

Both the sinister environment and the creature were far more powerful than here, and he had even observed the whole hunt of a very powerful dark wolf from a distance.

Compared to the giant wolf, this young wolf can be said to be just an ornamental pet.

"Woohoo"

The young wolf was dissatisfied with his repeated failures and let out a mournful howl.

"Little one, don't be angry. The boy smiled, ignoring the young wolf's displeasure, but wondering why the young wolf was here alone, which was obviously unreasonable.

If there were wolves nearby, it was clear that the forest would not be so quiet.

"Woo Woo Woo Woo T

"Yo, angry, hehe, go find your parents, I'm not your food. ”

Looking at the look of chagrin on the young wolf's face, the boy seemed to read its thoughts, smiled and waved his hand, jumped up to the treetops, and prepared to leave.

"Rustle"

But the sudden sound of the shaking branches made him change his mind about leaving.

"It's the parents of the wolf cubs? No, when the wolf creatures move, they don't make such a loud noise, they must be other creatures coming. ”

As for the purpose, is it this little guy?

"Keep up and find its footprints. ”

A gruff voice sounded, and a figure emerged from the bushes, followed by several figures.

It's people, and it's a squad.

The boy made a judgment at once, but he did not leave at once, and hid behind the branches to see what they wanted to do.

From the words of the first person, it seems that they are targeting the wolf cub that attacked them earlier.
