"That was a long time ago, I heard the rumors of the elders that at that time, the starry sky was destroyed, the plane fell, and there were countless corpses lying in the air, including demon bodies, fairy bodies, demon bodies, and human bodies, and the picture was terrifying! At that time, there was no barren continent for us, but in the mouth of the older generation, after the war, there were not only bodies in the air, but also many continents, and once those continents reached the Milky Way, they began to disintegrate, like dry soil eroded by the years and melted by the wind. There are also human beings on those continents, but the moment the continent rises, those people seem to have been swallowed by some force, and they disappear in the blink of an eye!"

"Grandpa Zhu, what happened then?"

Next to a mud mill mixed with cattle and sheep, an old man from Rokko told a story to the children in front of him with memories in his eyes, the old man's hair was gray, but it showed no signs of fading, long and thick, and he was allowed to rest on his shoulders. He was wearing a blue cotton coat with a totem, because the tribes of the Western Regions at this time were unusually cold, and he was always afraid of the cold when he was old, so he put the cotton clothes on his body very early.

The one who asked was a child, his little face was dry and red by the winter wind, and after hearing his question, Grandpa Zhu wrapped himself in cotton clothes and said: "Later, the older generation didn't say anything in detail, but just guessed that those devoured human beings were caused by the chaos of heaven and earth aura, and some people said that it was caused by the birth of desolation, there are too many sayings, I can't remember it clearly for a while, but no matter what, it is still because of the disaster brought about by the war." ”

"Wildness, is it the same wildness as Grandpa and Grandpa Stranger?

Among the children, a cute-looking girl tilted her head and asked uncertainly, her black and white eyes with a little light, as if she yearned for the power of those wilderness and grandfathers.

The old man smiled with relief when he heard this, "Yes, yes, the underworld boy can also cultivate the desolate qi when he is older, and then he will be as powerful as Ah Gong and them." ”

The girl also smiled cutely, and then asked: "Then will there be a place where we live later, with Daddy and Auntie, as well as Grandpa and Brother, and Uncle Alien Spear and Grandfather?"

The old man looked at the cute appearance of the child, stretched out his spotted palm and gently touched her head, and nodded to indicate that what she said was right.

"Okay, Lasu, go back, your father and mother will beat you later. ”

The old man took the cigarette stick, wrapped the cotton clothes on his body again, and walked out of the earthen workshop with heavy steps, walking towards the edge of the Aman tribe.

When the Lasu saw that their grandfather was gone, they realized that there was no story to hear, so they went back in groups, leaving only the Mortal Child and a twelve or thirteen-year-old Rasu beside her standing in place.

"Sister, let's go back too. ”

"You let go of me! I'm not your sister!" The boy was held by the Rasul's hand, and immediately became disgusted, and said fiercely, and spat at his feet after speaking, and then ran towards the tribe with his pigtails dangling.

Rasu stood in place and calmly watched the boy put it away, a trace of self-deprecation crossed his mouth, and then he took a very calm step towards the tribe, as if he had been accustomed to what had just happened.

The Aman tribe is a small and medium-sized tribe in the western regions of the barren continent, and there are hundreds of people living in the tribe, they are brave and warlike, pure temperament, each of them is strong, good at hunting, hunting wild, and also make a living from it.

The tribe was very large, and the perimeter was surrounded by wooden stakes with spikes to form a circle to prevent wild beasts from attacking the tribe at night. In the middle of the tribe is a stone platform, which is a hundred zhang long, which is usually used for rituals, and on the right is the place where the tribe dwells, and each family in the tribe has a tent, or a hut built with trees, surrounded by strange shapes, square, round, or upper and lower floors.

The door of the shed was opened, and the fire was blazing, and three people sat around the campfire, a middle-aged man, a delicate woman, and a girl of nine years old.

"I'm late to come back, and I don't have anything to eat for you. ”

The air outside was very cold, and when I first arrived in the house to warm up for a while, I heard this sound, and I suddenly felt a chill, as if it was colder than the cold outside the house.

"Stygian boy, how did you talk to your brother!"

By the campfire, the man frowned, and when he saw his daughter talking like this, he said a word in a tone of lesson, but the tone was tasteless and did not mean the slightest lesson.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with that? It's late and there's no food, you see his thin appearance, where is it like Lasu in the Aman tribe, which of them is not physically strong and has learned to hunt beasts with the giants, you are looking at his virtue, hum!"

As soon as the man's words fell, the woman beside him looked disgusted, glanced at Lasu who was standing at the door, and said hurtful words in a very disdainful tone.

The middle-aged man glanced at the person at the door with an embarrassed face, squirmed his mouth, but didn't dare to say anything, and after a while, seeing that the mother and daughter no longer looked at him, he whispered to the person at the door: "Yan'er, come and eat." ”

It's just that as soon as his words came out, he suddenly felt two eyes looking at him at the same time, and he subconsciously lowered his head, as if what he said was not what he said.

Rasu Wener, who had been standing at the door for a long time, smiled, and said in a very quiet tone: "Daddy, Auntie, sister, you eat, I'm not very hungry today, I'll go back to the tent first." ”

The door of the house was gently closed, and the expressions of the people under the door began to distort, it was the appearance of being wronged to the extreme, he suppressed the whimpering sound to the extreme, and tried to calmly open his slender legs, and slowly left the shed.

At the same time as he left, he vaguely heard a voice coming from inside the house, "Go back to your dog tent, it's better never to come, what can you do with this appearance, even the wild qi can't be condensed, it's just a waste!"

Listening to the voice behind him, Ji Yan laughed at himself again, "Yes, I can't condense the desolate qi, it's no different from waste." ”

He didn't walk to his tent, but walked in the cold wind, his name was Ji Yan, he was the son of the man in the house, but the woman was not his own mother, but his father's stepmother, whose biological mother died many years ago.

He didn't even have time to remember his mother's appearance, his mother turned into a glass of loess, as if he knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, he didn't look sad, or he was very young and didn't know what sadness was, in the time of being abused, Ji Yan gradually grew up, and he understood the meaning of those words more and more, but he didn't refute, nor did he resist, some were just grievances, and the vague figure in his memory.

The cold winter is coming, I thought it would be the snow in January at night, but it began to fall sparsely tonight, it was very dark, Ji Yan raised his head and looked at the snowflakes in the air, at this moment his mood was much better, the snowflakes fell on the ground and soon piled up a thin layer, Ji Yan's pace was getting faster and faster, as if only this snow could make him really quiet in his heart for a while.

A belly cry accompanied by a cold wind sounded, Ji Yan smiled bitterly again, Fang Cai's words about not being hungry were false, in fact, he was hungry for a long time, and now is the time for him to grow his body, his digestion is abnormally fast, and he can eat well, but he just doesn't grow strong, unlike those Lasu in the tribe, who are tall, and his slender body looks a bit like those Confucians in the Central Domain.

Ha out of a white breath, Ji Yan rubbed his hands, turned around and planned to go back to the tent to see if there was anything to eat, just when he was about to turn around, there was a little girl in white cotton clothes standing in front of him, she had a pair of lovely peach blossom eyes, she was looking at Ji Yan with a smile at the moment, her bright eyes were like stars in the sky, and she was particularly moving in the blink of a blink, at this moment she was standing in the cold snow, but gave people a false feeling of spring breeze, as if this was not a cold winter day, but the peach blossom season in March.

"Brother Xiaoyan, don't you have anything to eat again?"

The little girl paced a few steps forward, handed the oilcloth with the meat leg in her hand to Ji Yan, and then smiled again, looking very cute.

"Sister Yue'er, why are you here again?"

Ji Yan took the still hot leg of meat in surprise, and a smell of meat suddenly came to his nose, Ji Yan's stomach screamed twice again, and the feeling of hunger became more and more obvious.

Ji Yan was embarrassed by his belly screaming, smiled wryly, scratched his ears and cheeks.

The little girl giggled, looking at Ji Yan's funny appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and after a sigh of relief, she said: "Grandpa cares about you very much, and knows that you often have nothing to eat, so he often tells me to come and see you often." ”

"Ah Gong He.."

A trace of warmth crossed Ji Yan's heart, except for Ah Niang in the tribe, who was vague in his memory, only Ah Gong and Yan Yue were good to him, which made him respect Ah Gong and thank Yan Yue very much.

As if sensing Ji Yan's changes, Yan Yue took a few steps forward again, and her white little hand took Ji Yan's hand and said, "It's snowing a lot tonight, and Brother Xiao Yan hasn't eaten, so it must be very cold." ”

As he spoke, Ji Yan felt that there was a heat wave in the muscles and veins in his body, and the original chill in his body quickly disappeared, replaced by a warm and itchy feeling.

Ji Yan was inexplicable in his heart, he knew that it was desolate, and only the brute revolution that gathered qi could easily do this, even most of the Lasu in the tribe could do it, only he had been unable to condense the desolate qi.

Yan Yue's words were euphemistic, afraid that Ji Yan would hurt his self-esteem, so he said that there was nothing in his stomach and lacked resistance, so that Ji Yan would not misunderstand, but Ji Yan understood in his heart, and he also understood that Yan Yue was afraid that he would think too much.

smiled at her, thought about it for a long time but didn't know what to say, and at the end, only said thank you.

Yan Yue didn't care, and with a snap of her fingers, she took Ji Yan's hand like an adult and trotted all the way, and the direction was the back mountain.

Ji Yan smiled bitterly again, and said in his heart: This Nizi always does things like this, and never gives people time to think, but no matter what, it's not too late for me to fill my stomach and run!

After a while, a one-person-high hole appeared in front of the two of them, and it was dark and scary to look at, Ji Yan just wanted to ask something, but was pulled in by Yan Yue again.

The entrance to the cave is very narrow, and the two of them can only walk one after the other, but the space after entering the inside is very large, and it is not a problem to stand full of twenty people, not only that, but the moving room is also full of torches, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of animal skin, and there is no cold in it at all.

Yan Yue lit the torches one by one, looking at the stunned Ji Yan, her flower pupils narrowed again and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, Yue'er is very good-looking?

Ji Yan is actually very excited, but he often makes a stupid appearance, which may be habitual or subconscious, but this appearance always makes people misunderstand that he is stupid.

Ji Yan recovered from his daze, and when he heard the words, he was embarrassed, lowered his head and ate his meat leg silently, with a smile in his eyes.

Yan Yue and Ji Yan are in the same year and month, Ji Yan is only a few days older than her, so the relationship between the two is quite good, and it can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart-like friendship, but Yan Yue is the granddaughter of Ah Gong, Ji Yan doesn't want people to talk about it, and sometimes deliberately avoids Yan Yue.

The cave is very warm, not damp at all, obviously Yan Yue often comes to take care of it, and even the torches that have just been lit are newly dyed with fire oil, as if Yan Yue cares about this place.

Ji Yan looked at Yan Yue who was raising the fire, and wondered: "Sister Yue'er, why are you lighting a fire, won't you go back in a while?"

Looking at Yan Yue's skillful movements, Ji Yan felt a bad feeling in his heart, as if he had thought of something, and his brows suddenly curved.

Yan Yue smiled weirdly, her flickering eyelashes trembled slightly, and replied, "I told my grandfather that tonight, I won't go back tonight." ”
