Chapter XXVIII
There was no barrier to communication, and he said the few questions he just asked again. But it was at this time that Ye Chen's stomach screamed out of place. After a long slumber, he felt hungry.
The old man smiled and led him out into the courtyard. The yard is huge, nothing too much furnishings. There was only a stone table and a few wooden chairs. But there are also a large number of beast bones and fur around, with dark red blood stains on them. There are still a lot of dried meats hanging under the eaves in the yard. Not only that, there are also a lot of bottles and jars made of ceramics in different colors. Not far away, there is also a medicine field.
There were a lot of elixirs growing in the medicine field, and a breeze blew. The herbs are swaying in the wind, and it looks like little people dancing in the medicine fields. The wind carries the fragrance of herbs, and you look at the sunset in the distance. Eating the stew that the old man had just brought from the stove. This made Ye Chen feel a dreamy feeling, which was very unreal.
Not long ago, he was still on Earth looking for the elixir of life. As a result, I don't know what triggered it, and Starry Sky Gutu took him to a dark place.
There Ye Chen saw too many indescribable things, and almost died inside. It was not easy to escape from that ghost place, and he actually fell into the great wilderness, and changed into a young man. All this feeling, I think he had a very bizarre dream. Sometimes Ye Chen was thinking how good it would be if this was a dream. But the dream was real and terrifying.
Who would have thought that a few days ago he was still in the wilderness, struggling to survive. Now I am actually in a village, eating stewed meat and blowing the wind. In life, you never know what will happen in the next moment. That's the beauty of it.
It wasn't until Ye Chen ate five bowls of stew that he burped and stopped.
It was at this time that the courtyard was inside. More than a dozen old people walked in one after another, and they all heard that Ye Chen had woken up. I wanted to come and see what was going on.
During the time when Ye Chen was in a coma, the people of Shicun were very attentive to him. Because he saved the people of Ishimura. Originally, some old people wanted to forcibly feed him medicine, for fear that he would die and not survive.
It was still Shi Yunfeng, the old village chief, who said to them: "This child is fine, there is nothing wrong with the bones and internal organs." He also suffered some skin trauma, I helped him with medicine, and it will get better soon. He's just running around because he's so hungry. The rest was not good enough, and with the mental stimulation, I fainted for a while. You're just too concerned! Just let him rest for a while and wait for him to wake up. It was Shi Yunfeng's words that dispelled the doubts of the old people.
It is also Shi Yunfeng who has such ability, and his prestige in the village is very high.
Before waiting, Old Man Shi Yunfeng answered the question Ye Chen said. An old man was the first to ask, "Little friend, where are you from? How could you be left alone in that dangerous wilderness?"
Facing the old man's question, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth were bitter. It is impossible for him to say that he is not from this world, he came to the other side of the starry sky, and was taken out of the original world and sent to the great wilderness by a five-colored altar and an ancient starry sky map.
If he dared to say this to these old people, eighty percent would be regarded as crazy, and two percent would think that he was really talking nonsense and deceiving them. This made Ye Chen dare to speak.
But it doesn't work if you don't say it, looking at the expectant eyes of the group of old people. Ye Chen could also say vaguely: "Came from a far, far away place." ”
How far is it? This answer is too unclear. Faced with the doubts of the old people, in the end, it was Shi Yunfeng who helped him out of the siege.
"The vastness of the heavens and the earth is endless, and the territory is vast, like the stars in the nine heavens, and they do not know how many mortals. Even if we are ordinary people in our lives, we can't go everywhere and know everything. Even our ancestors, who have survived in the great wilderness for generations, still don't understand. Where this mountain goes, is the end. Do not embarrass a child. ”
"Then how did you end up alone in the wilderness, it's too dangerous. Even the strongest ones may shed blood and fall in the super fierce beasts or beast tides!"
Ye Chen was silent, an old man. He said: "Legend has it that in this boundless primordial secret realm, many great demons have also been born, they can speak human words, they are extremely powerful, they are unimaginable cultivators, they can no longer be regarded as ordinary fierce birds and beasts. It is as intelligent as we are, and it can be said that it is another race, and it can deal with people. ”
Everyone frowned, such a big demon does exist. Ancestors have also seen it. However, they all inhabit the depths of the Great Wilderness, and the stone village is still very outskirts. They can be human, but they're not exactly human.
The human beings transformed into the Great Demon still retain the characteristics of their own race. For example, if a ferocious bird takes on the form of a Terran, it will have some wings on it. Beasts have horns. There are also many that are not so obvious, but they are still easily recognizable if you look closely, and they disdain to hide themselves.
"Could it be that this kid is a demon?"
"No, this kid is not a demon, if he is a cultivator, take it down with one palm. Our entire stone village will be reduced to ashes. There is no need to make small talk with us here. Nor is he the heir of a great demon, and he has no claws or feathers. This kid is pure and pure Terran blood. Shi Yunfeng said.
"Well, I remember. When I was very young, I heard my grandfather talk to me. It is rumored that the great demons in the depths of the Great Wilderness will go to the giant cities of the human race to find some children with amazing bloodlines and lead them on the path of cultivation. Some will be accepted as disciples and taught attentively. Some of them serve as servants and servants for their own children. The depths of the wilderness are not calm, and there are fights. In the battle between the big demons, their children will also inherit the grievances between the big demons, and these children of the human race will go to fight!"
This rumor has been circulating in Ishimura that the children of the Terrans will be used as servants and slaves. Go and fight. There was some discomfort in the hearts of those present. In this world, the law of the jungle is immutable. The strong live, and the weak die. Of course, there are also Terrans who kill the beasts and raise their young. It's also for the sake of conquest. None of them are wrong, the world is meant to be like this. The truth in the mouth of the weak is as useless in the eyes of the strong as they are themselves. The strong will not be comfortable with their actions, whether they are brutal or not, because of the words that come from the mouths of the weak. The weak have no say.
The old man continued to speculate: "It is very likely that this child was taken away from his family by the Great Demon, just because he had a bloodline suitable for cultivation. ”
Ye Chen had been listening to the talk of the old people in Shicun, and had a good idea in his heart. He continued with the old man's words. "I was collecting firewood on the mountain, but I didn't expect a fierce bird with a body covering the sky and the moon to fly over me, and I was on the back of the fierce bird. It flew for a long time, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, I was here. ”
"Alas, poor boy. Son, stay in the village for now. Treat this place as if it were your home! ”
"Yes, child, you stay in the village for the first time, and one day if you feel homesick, you want to see the outside world. We'll send you out of the wilderness!"
The old people in Shicun were discussing gossip, asking Ye Chen to live in Shicun first, and it would not be too late to find his hometown when he had the strength. In the end, Ye Chen stayed in Shi Yunfeng's courtyard.
