A five-year-old boy dressed in an ordinary cloth coat was rolling on the dirt floor, holding a stick more than two feet long, which kept sweeping over the bushes on both sides of the road, and with each sweep, many leaves fell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a little bit of sweat was already oozing from his forehead, but he didn't mean to stop.

It wasn't until a middle-aged man walked up to him with an apple that he put the stick down and rubbed his two hands vigorously on his patched clothes. Then he took the apple and took a big bite of it.

"Slow down, swallow carefully. The man gently reached out and patted him on the head.

"Hmm. "The child slows down the pace of eating apples a bit. In a few moments, the apple bigger than the palm of his hand was left with a small core, but he didn't want to throw it away, so he still shoved it into his mouth. After a few seconds, he swallowed the apple and the seeds.

The man smiled and didn't speak again. He turned his head to the side, picked up a hoe and slowly hoeed it on a piece of land. He is not in a hurry, and it is useless to be in a hurry.

It's been five years, and he hasn't seen a ray of sunshine in five years. Not only him, but all living beings on this land have already survived five years of darkness with him. To escape, they even built their houses in tall bamboo.

Therefore, he did not work very hard, he was numb, he knew that no matter how hard he tried, a lot of work was in vain, no matter how much water he watered the crops on the ground, no matter how much fertilizer he applied to the crops, because without sunlight, the crops were always alive and dead. But no matter what, the work still has to go on.

He still remembers the five years he had lived, he still vividly remembers the scene when his wife suddenly found that half of her face had inexplicably climbed into the tattoo, and he clearly remembers the tears on his wife's face when his son was born. They didn't do anything wrong, but why was fate so unfair to them?

Fortunately, his family was not the only one who had such a situation, for five years, every family was dead, and the women stopped chattering, and they didn't even go out.

But who could they blame? Lord? No, never! If it weren't for the lord, they would all be dead now, and he wouldn't have such a lovely son! After that incident, the lord's position in their hearts became even more noble, and all they had was gratitude and respect for him.

It's not bad to be alive, at least they don't have to think too much about what they had to think about before, because they don't know when the enemy will take back their lives, and if they suddenly get in a bad mood and want to destroy them all, then what's the point of everything they have spent so much effort on!

Yes, I can't even control my own life and death, why do I take it so seriously.

Another two years have passed, and nothing seems to have changed, except that the people are getting older and the children are taller. However, something is quietly changing. After all, seven years have passed, nothing has happened, except for the lack of sunlight, except for a tattoo on their face, they have not suffered any more suffering and injury, perhaps the butchers have long forgotten them. Since life is still going on, why not live well.

As a result, the women began to visit the house, the men began to gather and drink, the old rules and habits slowly returned, and even the military election activities began again.

The lord is no longer satisfied with the status quo, he wants to change, he wants to lead everyone back to the old days, that is the life they have always longed for! That is their normal life! He wants to break the spell that hangs over this land.

It's just that this is destined to be a road full of hardships, and he meditates hard every day, and even convenes meetings again and again to discuss countermeasures. He believes that as long as everyone works together, the problem will be solved.

However, the spell was not removed for a day, and how could they break free from the shackles, until a huge beetle appeared by the river by the bamboo forest, and the people finally knew that they should restrain themselves. So, everything started sneaking up again.

The knock on the door of "tuk tuk tuk ......" kept coming in from outside. A young boy immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and trotted to open the door. It's still the kid who practiced martial arts on the side of the road with a stick, but he's grown a lot taller. A middle-aged man in a red robe smiled and did not speak, then he twisted his head slightly to the side and gave his wife a gentle look. The young woman gave him a shy smile in return. Now, she is used to being ugly, and she finally feels that she is not ugly. Because, every woman is like this. When a phenomenon pervades the whole society, it does not become an outlier, regardless of whether it is good or bad.

"Father, it's the lord!" he said to his father when he opened the door and saw the visitor hurriedly greet the other party.

The middle-aged man in the red robe immediately stood up and greeted him. And the woman next to him also consciously gave up her chair and walked to the side to get a cup.

"Still eating?" said the old man, and sat down unceremoniously. His beard was still long, but grayer than before, and the frightening tattoo on his head shook up and down with the sound of his voice.

"I'm full. The middle-aged man motioned for his wife to remove the things from the table.

"Yi Xun, what do you think about this?"

The middle-aged man in the red robe obviously knew what the other party was talking about. They had already argued in the room countless times. It's just that the results are not satisfactory every time. In fact, for that kind of outcome, everyone can accept it. If there is really such a unanimous agreement, it seems too abnormal.

After all, it was a decision that was related to the life and death of the entire clan, and no one dared to make up their own minds, and no one dared to make a concession, because if they failed, that person would become a sinner for the ages. While everyone longs to break the spell, everyone wants to see the light of day again. However, they have survived in humility for too long, and compromise has exhausted their original spirit. The hope that had just been born made them extremely cautious, especially when the other party was already aware of it.

"I'm still like that, we don't have the ability to fight them anymore. Yi Xun whispered. He looked a little embarrassed, he shouldn't have said such a weak thing. However, what he said was true.

The old man didn't mean to blame him, in fact, he also knew that no matter how much he bargained with the other party, he would not get a perfect solution, because he had thought of every method they said. It's just that compared to the main battle faction, which is not a small number, he doesn't know what tone to use to convince them. He was tired of red-faced arguments. And the reason why he wants to come here is just that he knows that Yi Xun is a person who understands righteousness, no matter what situation he is in, he can always maintain a calm heart. Most importantly, he has the qualities of a unique lord. And he came to his home only to seek a peace of mind and comfort.

"I know, it's just that we can't think of any other way!" he said, looking at Yi Xun.

"Relying on our own strength, there is absolutely no chance!" Seeing that the other party did not blame, Yi Xun continued.

"And what else do you think?"

"Cooperation, only cooperation can have a glimmer of life.
