Chapter 1: Escape from the Human World
This year, Liao Fan is 17 years old.
Just after the Spring Festival in 2013, he returned from Tibet, three months after his grandmother's death, and now he has no relatives in this world.
Thinking back to three months ago, it has always been his nightmare, that day, before dawn, Liao Fan was ready to give his long-sick grandmother water to boil medicine, the medicine was prescribed by an old Chinese medicine doctor surnamed Yang in the village, but the cold of the four or nine days even the tap water frozen, fortunately there is an old well in the east of the village, the faint wellhead is still slightly bubbling white gas, the well water that has just been hit is still warm, Liao Fan washed the well water, suddenly there was a loud bang, looking back, it turned out that there was a house collapsed, and there were seven or eight figures shaking around, Liao Fan was stunned for a while, that is...... That's my home? Grandma is still in it. Liao Fan, who came back to his senses, screamed hysterically, screaming and ...... as he ran.
In the ruins, Liao Fan dug through the broken bricks with his hands, crying "grandma...... Grandmother....... β
"Wrong demolition, wrong demolition, it's the house on the west side. β
"It's like someone is being crushed underneath. β
"Call the police and wait for the police to deal with it. β
"Please, help me, my grandma is still down there. Liao Fan's hands were already bloody and blurred, and several fingernails had been turned over, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.
"Young man, don't bother, it's definitely not okay for people to be smashed underneath, so let's wait for the police to come. β
"yes, we don't have digging tools with us, do we?"
In the face of these people's indifference, Liao Fan didn't say a word, but just remembered their faces one by one in his heart.
Suddenly, a brick moved, Liao Fan hurriedly ran over to pick it up, and a yellow figure crawled out with great difficulty, it was an old cat, an old cat that had lost his teeth, an old cat who liked to lie on his grandmother's lap and bask in the sun.
"Wow. There was a hurried barking of dogs.
It's the big dog barking, it must have found grandma.
Liao Fan ran over quickly, only to see the big dog digging desperately in the pile of bricks with his paws, and his two front paws were already bloody and blurred.
"Grandma. Liao Fan saw an arm hanging outside, yes, it was grandma's.
Liao Fan went crazy, he desperately dug bricks, and finally dug out his grandmother, and then the police and ambulance also arrived.
The grandmother died, the house was gone, and the cause of the accident came out, because the contractor of the demolition drank too much wine and demolished it in the wrong place. But his cousin was the deputy mayor of the town, and in the end Liao Fan received 20,000 yuan in compensation.
This is the fate of the little people at the bottom, maybe it should be compromised like this? But Liao Fan was not convinced, since his parents disappeared when he was ten years old, his grandmother was his only relative, he did not complain, did not go to petition, he took two hundred yuan from a gangster named Lin Erba in Lin Village next door to buy a few documents, with this document Liao Fan took the old cat and the big dog to Tibet, got off the plane from Nyingchi Airport and went south to a small county town called Milin County, found a hotel to settle the big dog and old cat there, and then returned to his hometown Anyi Town alone.
The next day, a major event happened in this ancient town, the deputy mayor died at home with thirty-seven knives, and a contractor in the town was also wiped at home, and the matter was boiling for a long time, and finally the suspect has been locked, but the suspect named Liao Fan is missing.
In a forest in China, Tibet, and southern Tibet, a young man carried a huge backpack, and the whole backpack covered most of his figure, like a thin and diligent little ant, and at the top of the burden lay a big yellow cat, and the young man was holding a machete in his hand and was opening the way, and a black earth dog was running in front of him through the messy branches.
Passing through a forest, faintly heard the murmuring of the stream, and walked out of the woods, it was a stream with a small stream, the mountain stream was not deep, one or two meters above the ground, the whole stream was covered with large and small pebbles, the clear stream flowed, the boy took a deep breath, and suddenly found that on the other side of the stream, a big tree towered into the clouds.
"What a big tree!"
Liao Fan was shocked, he had never seen such a big tree when he grew up in the countryside, but as a child from the countryside, he recognized this tree at first sight, this is a big locust tree, this huge locust tree is as high as a twenty-story building, and the diameter of the trunk is three or four meters, and it takes five or six adults to enclose it, but the strange thing is that around this huge big locust tree, there are no plants within a radius of 100 meters, it is bare, except for the soil is a goose soft stone, it is like an ancient emperor standing there, looking down on the common peopleγ
Liao Fan took a deep breath, the fresh air with this faint fragrance is a bit like a gardenia, the fragrance into the spleen and lungs, suddenly the whole person is refreshed, facing the big tree, slowly closed his eyes, his heart felt unprecedented tranquility, fresh air accompanied by the murmuring of the stream, at this moment he let go, let go of all the weight and pain in his heart, today has passed away, this moment Liao Fan is reborn, this will be a new beginning.
When he opened his eyes, Liao Fan was smiling, and it was the first time in several months that he had appeared on his face.
"Big dogs, old cats, let's make a home here!"
"Wangwang!" the big dog responded by barking twice, and happily wagged his tail around the tree a few times, while the old cat jumped off the ground three times and put on the branches of the tree and continued to sleep.
"Big dog, go get something to eat, be careful, there may be other beasts here, old cat be on guard. We're going to set up shelter before dark. β
After Liao Fan set up a tent under the big locust tree, he picked up a machete and cut branches at the edge of the surrounding woods, until the sun was about to set, Liao Fan built a circle of half-human high simple fences around the big locust tree, and at this time, the big dog that went out to hunt also came back, and there was a huge gray rabbit in his mouth.
Chose a few large pebbles to build a stove, set up an iron pot, took the stream water in the mountain stream and put the rabbit in the iron pot to stew, forty minutes later from the iron pot burst of aroma, and put a handful of wild vegetables found nearby, and finally added a little salt, a pot of fragrant rabbit soup out of the pot, because the old cat is too old, the old teeth are all out, Liao Fan had to put the meat in his mouth and chew it and then mix it with the soup and feed it to the old cat to eat, just such a teenager, A dog and a cat had their first dinner around the campfire.
Just after dinner, it will soon get dark, there is no moon today, but the weather is fine, there is no rain, the night is still very cold in the wild, the fire is lit outside the tent, the big dog lies on the fire to keep warm, the old cat climbs the big locust tree and lies there, the jewel-like eyes scan the surroundings from time to time, the faint green light in the eyes seems to penetrate the whole forest.
In the middle of the night, Liao Fan hadn't fallen asleep, he was thinking about how to survive here in the future, since he made up his mind to murder the deputy mayor and the contractor, he planned that he would not go out again if it was unnecessary in this life, stay away from humans, and live in this jungle with one person, one cat and one dog.
Just when Liao Fan was pondering, a sudden change suddenly appeared.
"Hoo~meow~!" a low roar.
Liao Fan was agitated and climbed up, this was the alarm of the old cat.
"Wangwang~Wangwang. The big dog barked uneasily.
Liao Fan picked up the machete beside him, and rushed out of the tent without wearing any clothes.
The big dog roared by the fire, leaning back, ready to kill at any moment.
I saw that in the woods on the other side of the stream in front of me, a row of faint green light was suspended in midair.
What is this?Firefly? No, this is the eye, the eye of the beast, there are actually seven or eight pairs after a little counting, Liao Fan was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.
"Meow~. Another low cat roar.
Looking up, I saw that the old cat's face was blowing up all over his body in the opposite direction, Liao Fan looked at it, and was suddenly startled again, and there were those green eyes behind him, Liao Fan immediately understood the current situation, they were surrounded by a group of beasts, but now there was a bonfire around them, and those beasts were afraid of this, so they did not attack immediately, but this stalemate may not last long, and when those beasts found that the bonfire could not threaten them, they would attack as soon as possible. Now it is unrealistic to break through, so you can only go up to the tree, avoid its edge for the time being, and hope that those beasts will not climb the tree, and when the morning dawns those beasts will disperse.
"Wang~huh!" the big dog barked again.
Liao Fan fixed his eyes and looked forward, only to see a black shadow against the four green dots walking out of the woods and jumping over the stream.
Oh my God, what is this? What kind of monster has four eyes? Human beings have an inexplicable fear of the unknown, and Liao Fan is no exception.
Looking up at the branch closest to him, it had to be four or five meters high, and he had to hurry, no matter how slow it was, it would be too late.
Pull a rope from your backpack and fasten one end of a jacket into a simple hanging basket, and throw the other end of the rope over the branch on your head.
"Big dog, come in!" Liao Fan called in a low voice.
"Woo~!" The big dog didn't go into the hanging basket of his coat for the first time, but whimpered and circled around Liao Fan.
"Come in, I'm fine, I'll go up again after you go up. β
After Liao Fan finished speaking, the big dog whimpered twice and reluctantly walked into his coat.
Liao Fan pulled up the rope hard, and the big dog slowly rose up.
"Wow~woo!" a long howl came from behind him.
Liao Fan was startled, it was broken, the group of beasts attacked, he didn't look back, he pulled the rope hard, and finally the big dog jumped on the trunk safely.
"Meow~Whew!"
"Wang~Huh!"
At this moment, the alarm of the big dog and the old cat sounded at the same time, and Liao Fan quickly shook the rope, so that the end of the coat quickly fell.
Okay, it's finally okay, Liao Fan grabbed the rope with both hands, and climbed up step by step with his feet on the trunk, just after climbing two steps, he only felt a bad wind coming from below, followed by a sharp pain in his calf.
"Ahh
