The sky was getting darker, and the glow of the setting sun pierced through the gloomy forest to the west and was imprinted on the lake in the east. The breeze blows, and the surface of the lake alternates between gold and black, up and down, up and down. The evening sky is always unusually quiet, and there is a slight hint of unease in the quiet air, albeit only slightly.

Yu Tianyuan carried the firewood in the direction of his shadow, in the wheat field, humming a little song, thinking about the news he heard when he passed by the teahouse before, and walked home.

"Have you heard, the central government seems to be arresting people everywhere! A bad old man said with a teacup.

Another said: "You are too worried, our Yujia Village, the location here is so special, not only this forest and this lake, but also two 4,000-meter cliffs in the north and south, we have been so isolated from the outside world for generations." The changes in the outside world over the past few hundred years have affected us. ”

"That being said, I always felt a little uneasy this time. ”

"We've been here for so many years, you should have heard that when Emperor Su Ge swept across the Eastern Earth Continent, our place was also one of the few places that didn't be affected. I heard that tens of thousands of people became the undead in that place!"

"Yes." Then he took a sip of jade dragon tea.

Where does Tian Yuan know? It refers to the forest in the west, and the people of Yujia Village call it the Forest of Death. For thousands of years, no one can get out, and no one can get in. For thousands of years, it has relied on the bird "Milai" to communicate with the outside world. According to my sister, according to legend, Yujia Village was the fief of Yushang, the first unified emperor of the Far Eastern Continent at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and it was also the only fief that was able to die well. Later, according to Yushang's suicide note, the descendants of Yushang planted two bags of seeds next to Yushang's pillow on the westernmost plain of the fiefdom and sprinkled them in the lake in the east. How many hundred years later, Yujia Village will be formed into its current appearance.

"Are you really alright?" Tian Yuan muttered. Walking and walking, I arrived at the door of the house.

"Coming back?" said my sister's gentle voice in the kitchen.

"Well, it's enough for us this week. Tian Yuan said as he put the firewood he had gathered next to the stove. Shook his shoulders. Walk behind my sister. I watched my sister cooking the omelet rice that she likes very much.

At this time, an unfamiliar voice sounded from behind: "Long time no see, Pei'er, Tianyuan"

Tian Yuan and his sister turned their heads suddenly. Standing in the doorway was a man in his twenties, with a thick beard, wearing a ripped suit, smiling. The dim light was imprinted on his deep eyes, and the slightest fluctuation in his eye sockets sparkled.

Tian Yuan was still curious about the man who came suddenly.

"Brother......" Sister couldn't help covering her mouth, and the corners of her eyes were bent into two inverted crescents. Tears filled my sister's eyes at once, and my sister took three steps and two steps, rushed up and hugged the man in front of her.

"Brother..... I thought you were ....." Buried in the man's arms, "woo......woo......" and cried loudly.

Brother? This man in front of him is the elder brother that my sister often says, the brother who disappeared in the Forest of Death five years ago? Tian Yuan also wanted to rush up and hug the man in front of him, but his body stayed in place and couldn't move, after all, it was too strange.

At the dinner table, my sister kept asking my brother what happened to me in the past 5 years, about how to pass through the Forest of Death, what happened in the past 5 years...... The elder brother just smiled and said that he would talk about it after eating, while holding the omelet rice, "It's delicious, it's delicious." But my sister didn't care, she just asked hard. Tian Yuan ate by himself on the side, because he really couldn't interject and didn't know what to say.

"Tian Yuan. Tian Yuan was shocked. When I looked up, I saw that my sister was calling my brother.

"This is a gift I brought with you from outside," the elder brother pulled out a black crystal stone from the bag he had brought back, the top of the stone was a slightly pointed tower, and the bottom was a square cube 3 centimeters long and 5 millimeters wide at the bottom. As this crystal stone turns, it sparkles.

"Look," the elder brother hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, pointed the top of the black square to his mouth, "show the photo of Yu Pei", and then pointed the other end of the square to the wall, and the photo of Yu Pei was immediately projected on the wall. Tian Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's great!" "You can store things in this, take care of things, and check things, as long as you say your requirements to the bottom." Of course, you can also modify and manipulate the contents of the projected things. We all believe that there is an elf living in it, you see me" I saw my brother take out an identical crystal from his clothes, but it was white.

Each piece is unique, and we call him the "lost spirit," as if he had fallen from God. Tomorrow is your 10th birthday, and I'm giving this to you now. Tian Yuan was very happy in his heart, but he looked very hesitant outside. The elder brother seemed to see through Tian Yuan's mind and stuffed it into Tian Yuan's hand. smiled and said, "From now on, he will follow you, you have to get along well." The elder brother winked at Tian Yuan, and most of Tian Yuan's discomfort and strangeness dissipated in an instant. At this time, Tian Yuan finally cracked his mouth at this man who was strange at first.

After dinner, Tian Yuan went into the study to do his homework, and his brother and sister chatted in the living room.

The elder brother briefly told Yu Pei about what he had seen and heard in the outside world in the past five years, but whenever Yu Pei asked his brother about the Forest of Death, the elder brother always smiled, "I will tell you when the time comes." Later, my brother asked Yu Pei and Tian Yuan about the situation in the past 5 years. learned about Yu Pei's hardships in the past 5 years with Da Tianyuan. It's like being soaked in vinegar, it's not a taste.

"Pei'er, I ..... at the beginning... I.. You shouldn't be so impulsive....leave you alone to support this family. The elder brother put his arm on Yu Pei's shoulder, "I didn't do this well. Elder brother. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you know, I thought you... You know into that forest... No one can... I thought you'd be going to—" Yu Pei choked up again.....

The elder brother hugged Yu Pei, "I won't leave you and Tian Yuan again." ”

It was as if it had gone back to the past, five years ago.

My sister helped my brother make the bed, returned to Tian Yuan's bed, and lay down. Get ready to sleep.

Although Tian Yuan went to bed early, he couldn't sleep, and there was a problem that kept bothering him. Until my sister lay down. Tian Yuan turned his face to his sister, "5 years ago, what happened, why did my brother leave?"

"To find my father. My sister whispered.

Father?Isn't my father dead a long time ago!?
