The summer was scorching, the air was steaming and distorted, and the land was barren.

War has swept across the continent, but civilians have suffered the most. In today's war-torn era, the family clans with a little strength only seek self-protection, look for shelter everywhere, and finally survive. And those small families that are not worth mentioning at all disappeared directly in this era of war.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are starving bones on the road. Blood was sprinkled all over the earth, and the faint smell of blood in the air seemed to have blended into the sunlight and could be smelled everywhere.

The whole continent was desolate, wailing and screaming, and millions of corpses were lying in wait. Beasts smelling blood appeared, gnawing at corpses on this desolate land.

A village near Luohuangling has been completely dilapidated, and there is hardly a complete earthen house left. Walking in the village, the villagers all had frightened expressions, retreated inside the house, behind the trees, and did not dare to stand up to face it.

Bei Mingyan was followed by Big Bear and Flying Shadow, and sighed helplessly. Especially Feiying, her pretty face is full of unbearable.

"Brother, I'm hungry. ”

A boy who was dirty and his little face was completely covered with dust suddenly ran in front of Bei Mingyan, his big eyes were very bright. When he looked at Bei Mingyan, he carried an emotion called longing.

"My child!"

In a dilapidated house next to her, a woman screamed, with obvious crying, but she was trembling all over, and she didn't dare to get out of the dilapidated house, as if the dilapidated house could really resist Bei Mingyan. It was also this woman who didn't catch the little boy just now and let him run in front of Bei Mingyan. In the eyes of this woman, the three of them were the same kind of people as those demons, and they didn't believe that there were still good people in this world at all.

Bei Mingyan glanced at the woman with a flat look, didn't care about her sad and indignant appearance, squatted down, reached out and touched the little boy's oily hair.

The boy's smiling face was not very fat, although it was covered with a thick layer of ash, but it could still be seen that the little face had a touch of yellow. The boy's eyes were bright, but his sockets were slightly sunken, and he was clearly malnourished, and he had not eaten enough for a long time.

"Brother, I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat? ”

The little boy cried out aggrievedly, his stomach rumbling, and his poor big eyes were pitiful.

Bei Mingyan sighed and said to himself: "The mainland has suffered disasters, but the most pitiful thing is these innocent people. They have no power to protect themselves, they only want a peaceful and stable life, but things are not as good as they want. Pathetic, pathetic, lamentable!"

Hearing this, Flying Shadow and Big Bear couldn't help but fall silent. What Bei Mingyan said is the truth. In every disaster on the mainland, in the wars and battles between the great powers, it is the innocent ordinary people who suffer the most, who have done nothing, but they have to suffer this unjustified disaster.

Bei Mingyan sighed, looked at the little boy with a smile in a blink of an eye, and said, "Brother didn't bring anything delicious when he went out, there are only some berries here, you take them well, don't be robbed by others." ”

As he spoke, five or six berries flashing with a faint red brilliance suddenly appeared in Bei Mingyan's hand, this is a fruit that contains fire qi in the depths of Luohuang Mountain, and it is not very strong, if it is just ordinary food, it is very suitable for satisfying hunger. Although there are not many such fruits, Bei Mingyan was not stingy, and all the fruits in his hands were handed over to the little boy.

The little boy was very happy with the fruit in his hand. Each fruit was half the size of a fist, and the little boy was barely able to hold five fruits in his two hands.

"Thank you, brother!"

The little boy cried out in joy, turned and ran to the woman in front of him, and gave the woman all the fruits in his hand.

"Mom, my brother is a good person. ”

The immature voice made the woman blush, before she suspected that Bei Mingyan and a few people had bad intentions, and came here to rob like those people before, but she didn't expect to really meet a kind person.

The woman didn't accept the fruit either, and hurriedly pulled the little boy and ran in front of Bei Mingyan again, and was about to kneel down directly.

Bei Mingyan sighed, stretched out his hand, and a soft breeze blew, making the two of them unable to kneel.

The woman was terrified, knowing that she had met a strong man, and stood tremblingly in place, not knowing how to speak. After all, what she did before had touched the dignity of the strong in her opinion, which made her very frightened.

"There is no need to do this, the mainland has been robbed, and you and other ordinary people have no power to protect themselves, and it is common sense to behave like this, and I am not to blame. ”

Bei Mingyan sighed and reached out to touch the boy's little face. It can be seen that the boy was originally very handsome, but the lack of diet and malnutrition made the little boy look haggard.

The boy laughed, stuffed the berries in his hand into the four women, and said, "These are for the mother, and the baby can eat this one." When the woman heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and crying, she felt that she didn't step forward to protect the child just now, and she was really sorry for the boy.

"Child, my good boy. ”

The woman took the berries in her hand and re-stuffed three of them for the boy, leaving only one for herself. With tears on his dirty face, he hugged the little boy and began to cry.

Bei Mingyan watched the mother and son fall into silence, once upon a time, he also had a loving mother who guarded him day and night when he was unconscious. It's just that later because of long-term fatigue and illness, he finally died of depression, so he didn't see his mother's last face.

Seeing Bei Mingyan's appearance, Feiying knew that the scene in front of him touched Bei Mingyan's heartstrings, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of sadness.

After a long silence, he finally exhaled a breath of turbidity, and stopped thinking about the past that had passed.

"Mother, this fruit is so sweet. ”

When Bei Mingyan heard this, he looked at the little boy, and saw the berries in the boy's mouth, and all the vitality conceived inside the fruit was absorbed by the boy, without missing a single thing. For a moment, the little boy's body was already bulging, his big eyes were even more energetic, and his long black hair, which was originally oily, danced without wind, faded into a lead bloom, and burst out with a dazzling red light.

When the woman saw the scene in front of her, she was immediately shocked, and hurriedly hugged the little boy and checked the boy's condition up and down.

"What the hell are you!"

The woman hugged the boy and yelled at the completely stunned Bei Mingyan, waking him up.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Bei Mingyan turned his head to look at Da Xiong with a shock on his face, only to find that the latter's expression was very solemn.

"It's not a berry problem, it's a problem with your children. ”

The big bear opened his mouth and stopped drinking, pinning the wine gourd in his hand to his waist again.

"What's wrong with my child? What's wrong with him? You tell me, I beg you to tell me, how can I save him?"

When the woman heard this, she knelt directly in front of the big bear with a plop, and kept kowtowing, and there were already blood stains on her forehead and she was still unconscious.

"Rest assured, that's a good thing. ”

The big bear stretched out his hand to stop the woman from continuing to kowtow, stepped forward, and came directly to the little boy who didn't know why. The brass bell-like tiger eyes continued to plunge on the little boy's body, and the rough palms kept flapping on the boy's body, as if to determine something.

As time passed, the bear's eyes brightened. Later, I couldn't help but laugh, and it was a crazy laugh of extreme surprise.
