[001] Obscure childhood
The days without seasons are boring, but they can also enliven those on the verge of starvation.
In the night, there are no stars shining in the sky and no bright moon in the sky, the whole shijie is drizzling, occasionally when a thunderbolt comes from the sky with lightning to shake the nerves of a few human beings, they look up at the eyes without the slightest fear, but have endless curiosity about the short-lived brightness!
A line of faint light rose and fell from high to low, and it was three or five middle-aged men who had gone up the mountain to hunt and gather wild fruits, walking at night in the rain, but the lamps they carried in their hands were not lamps, and they only relied on a few fireflies that were not easy to catch to maintain the messy dirt road.
The light was still, it was their home, the few small villages left in the deserted mountains, backed by rolling mountains, and the night was hazy and lonely by the endless forests in front of them, and everyone in this village was looking for a way out every moment, and after generations they still lived here.
This is the northernmost village in the Land of Judgment on the border of the Shenzhou Continent, this is the most remote place and the safest place, this is a sparsely populated place and an inaccessible place, and it has been peaceful and quiet for many years.
Until one day, when a dozen or so lanterns with fireflies in the village gathered in a dilapidated thatched hut, it all changed as if fate.
On that day, I don't know if it was day or night, maybe it was a year or a month, because it was dark all the time; a group of masked demons broke into the village, and instead of burning and looting, they searched all the men in the village from house to house; a group of people beat the women who resisted, and a group of people drove the simple men to the widest part of the village one by one, and under the threat of the devil, each man was engraved with a bright red devil's mark on his chest, and then he put a thumb-thick anklet on them and pulled them and disappeared into the depths of the jungle。
At that time, Wang Man was still in infancy, and he did not remember the painful howl of his mother Ji and the ghostly red light on his father's chest when he left.
Ji went out to collect wild fruits as always, and for the only little hope left in his life all year round, his hard-working mother used granite outside the village to polish a practical funnel to carry with him, so that he could judge the time when Aiko was hungry.
I don't know how long the days have passed, the whole village is surrounded by woods and getting smaller and smaller, at night Xiao Wang Man is crying and making trouble, a young face is suffocated, he dreamed of hearing the sound of his father shouting in the woods, but when he woke up, it was his mother who covered him with a slippery straw mat on the side; the rain still fell aimlessly without stopping, which also became the biggest doubt in Xiao Wang Man's heart, this year Xiao Wang Man was five years old!
He learned to use language to communicate with people proficiently, and he began to follow his mother to pick wild fruits on the dark road up the mountain, and occasionally his mother would settle in a relatively safe place and wait for his mother Ji to catch agile hares with a smile on her face.
The village without men is destined to gradually decline, Xiao Wang Man buried another respected old woman with his mother, and he will bow three times and bow in front of a small mound of earth in the dark, because his mother often teaches him to be grateful!
Time is like a double-edged sword, some people will be reborn when they are old, some people will rise when they are weak, some people will become more and more capable, and some people will become more and more blurred; when Xiao Wang Man hunted the first hare in his life with a self-made bow and crossbow and went home to give it to his mother, Ji looked at him calmly, touched his head gently, and said: "My little Wang Man has finally grown up. "This year, Xiao Wang Man is only eight years old!
The manly atmosphere rendered his childish face, and as the only male in the village, Xiao Wang deserved to assume the obligation of respect.
He wore straw sandals made for him by his mother, carried a bow and crossbow made by himself, and his thin but strong body was surrounded by a chest guard sewn from rabbit skin, and he was heroic and shrewd! The women of the village stopped to watch, and when he stood in front of his mother Ji, he was greeted with Ji's smile of relief, and since then Ji has delivered the granite hourglass at home to him, and he has truly become a professional hunter in the village!
On this day, Xiao Wang Man stepped on the familiar mountain road with a lantern as usual, this is a small hill, but there are many small species here, one is suitable for Xiao Wang Man to hunt, and the other can reduce more time.
Today does not seem to be as good luck as before, I have not seen a hare in the whole mountain forest, not even a bird, and Xiao Wang Man, who has nothing to gain, seems to have no patience to wait, and returns along the mountain road in frustration, on the way Xiao Wang Man stubbornly let the rain wash away a lost childlike heart, and did not notice the two huge eyes with green light in the dense forest he just walked through.
The creatures here seem to have collapsed, the strong at the top of the food chain seem to be running aimlessly, hunger fills the nerves of any creature, and in the hopeless Shijie section, they are greedy with them.
Xiao Wang's intelligent hearing and very human perception seemed to feel the steaming breath behind him, curiously he raised the lamp and looked back, it was a three-foot-tall, thin and thin blue wolf, two huge eyes flashing weakly.
This is a high-level blue wolf that has walked more than 3,000 miles, and there is a slight flame of light on its abdomen, but its size is a cub in the wolf clan, and it has traveled all the way to the north and south of the ruling land, and its weakness has to stop and quietly wait for the arrival of its prey.
There is no doubt that the sturdy little Wang Man has become the object of its lock, and the blue wolf who has rested for a day or two to accumulate to promote it to live Liliang stood in front of Xiao Wang Man, it grew up and let out a roar of gas filling the sky, a ball of hot air erupted from its mouth, and the drizzle of air fell on Xiao Wang Man's stunned face.
The beast seemed to cherish the hard-won prey in front of him, strolling towards Xiao Wang Man, leaving two rows of uneven paw prints on the muddy mountain road, it was not in a hurry to devour Xiao Wang Man, as if it knew that this human could not escape from its palm, it was still immersed in short-term happiness, waving its tall body and walking left and right, looking at the blue-faced and fanged blue wolf looking at the enemy in front of him, his heart should be fantasizing about enjoying the delicious!
Xiao Wang Man looked at the cold and sharp teeth of the blue wolf, which were a few inches longer than the bow and crossbow in his hand, and out of human instinct, he retreated, and there were two huge rocks on his back, and there was a narrow stone crack in the middle that could only accommodate half of his body, and fear fell on the eight-year-old Xiao Wang Man for the first time.
The huge blue wolf merged with the darkness, and if it weren't for the two green eyes and the sultry breath, Xiao Wang would almost not be able to tell its direction.
Oh......
The blue wolf looked up to the sky and roared, contemptuous of the weak humans, the exhausted blue wolf had exhausted the patience of stealing, at this time it shook its wet body, and the water droplets splashed from the hair seemed to pour a basin of cold water on Xiao Wang Man not far away, and the coolness that penetrated into the bone marrow penetrated his heart.
Xiao Wang Man's battle retreated to the rock and squeezed in half of his body, the big monster in front of him brought him unprecedented pressure and hostility, Xiao Wang Man didn't know if he could subdue this huge beast with the previous method of killing hares, but instinctively raised the bow and crossbow in his hand and aimed at the darkness!
The bloody breath is getting thicker and thicker, the beast has been crawling and approaching gently, for this lonely little blue wolf has done its best, it can't use tactics to hunt with half the effort like other adult wolves of the wolf clan, and it is also immature It can only recuperate and make a killing blow.
In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, the two green lights flashed brighter and brighter, Xiao Wang trembled and tightened the sharp arrows on the crossbow, sweat seeped out of his forehead before he could drip down quickly, and then he was sobered up a little by a trace of coldness in the cute drizzle.
"My little Wang Man has finally grown up! You want to become a hero like your father!" These are the words of his mother Ji, which are attached to Xiao Wang Man's ears like a dream at this moment.
Roar......
The wolf's patience reached the limit, and his two legs bent violently, forming an oblique plane with the surface, looking at the opportunity to prepare for it.
Xiao Wang Man felt the imminence of danger, took a deep breath and rolled the dried Adam's apple, the innocent eyes swept a trace of murderous aura, he calmly picked up the bow and crossbow in his hand and aimed at a green light on the right side of the pitch black, now Xiao Wang Man thinks that he has grown up, he is destined to become a hero like his father, come on, I will take your skin to make a soft vest for my mother, Xiao Wang Man cheered himself up, his feet were slightly bent, and he was ready to attack the enemy.
The wolves are one of the most powerful species in the Age of Chaos, and the wolves who survive in the abandoned shijie have a big advantage that other species don't have, they can see anything in the dark!
The wolf cub is used to raising at the top of the food chain, and at this time, seeing that the small human is aiming the spearhead at himself, how can he not be angry! It roared wildly, and its body size of more than three feet jumped up like an arrow from the Xuan, and rushed straight to the prey locked in its eyes, and the wide blood mouth was enough to swallow half of Xiao Wang Man's body, and the delicate rain accumulated into a lot mixed with the savage breath, and there was a little circle of gorgeous rainbows in the rain.
Xiao Wang Man adjusted his body and calculated the time when the beast pounced, and in an instant, the water on the blue wolf's body covered Xiao Wang Man's whole body like waves, and subconsciously Xiao Wang Man shouted and shot the bamboo arrows on the bow and crossbow, and at the same time, the bow and crossbow also fell into the scarlet mouth......
In an instant, the back of the hill was as bright as day, and the cold spiritual light burned Xiao Wang Man's half-open and half-closed eyes, and the bright light was fleeting, and gradually turned into a narrow green man, which turned straight from behind the rock, and suddenly changed direction after passing over the top of Xiao Wang Man's head, and penetrated into the crack of the rock like a broken bamboo!
And this moment was the moment when the wolf's big mouth swallowed the little Wang Man, and it was also the moment when the latter struck the bow and crossbow at the blue wolf; when he heard the miserable howl of the blue wolf in his ears, the gastric juice spurted out of his mouth was accompanied by a burst of foul odor, and he almost fainted; at the age of eight, his heart was in his throat! After a while, his ears tended to be calm, the wolf's teeth were cold, and a red fireball the size of a bean entered Wang Man's surprised mouth, and castration quickly fell into his abdomen, Wang Man's eyes flashed a trace of delirium, and then returned to normal.
