"Then how did they bring you in?" Zhuang Yu then asked.

"I haven't seen Daddy since I was a child, Daddy went to war, and I've been waiting for Daddy to pick me up......," the little girl replied.

"You, Daddy won't come back, we're done......" Suddenly, a boy around the corner yelled hysterically.

"We won't survive, we'll all be eaten by the big monsters. ”

"You are talking nonsense, my father will come back to pick me up, it will definitely be ......" The little girl spoke loudly for the first time, her voice weak.

He looked at Zhuang Yu again. "Big brother, did you say?"

The young man didn't know how to answer, so he couldn't bear it and replied.

"Yes, yes. Zhuang Yu stuttered a little.

In fact, the little girl knows it very well in her heart, but she doesn't want to admit it. In these lonely years, there is some hope to support this six-year-old child and try to live strongly......

Several of the older children inside rolled their eyes at him, looking a little disdainful, and Zhuang Yu smiled.

Some people, some things, a little more hope, is better than anything else, not to mention that this little girl is not who she used to be.

"What about you?" Zhuang Yu asked the other children. With the children's response just now, they all spoke one after another about the reason, most of the children were brought in, sold for money, and sacrificial items.

After getting acquainted, the children felt that Zhuang Yu was taller, but not so "cannibalistic", so they slowly leaned over. The little cowshed has a hint of warmth.

Zhuang Yu was very happy.

There was some laughter in the little cowshed that had never been seen before, and even the old cows by the railing listened quietly.

It may be that the laughter of the cowshed is incompatible with the quiet night.

A few enslaved men with lanterns came over, and the fierce faces of the enslaved men roared sharply.

"What's the noise, don't eat? Little cubs, disobedient, don't want to eat?"

"Yo, wake up, wake up, you can go out and find one less, it's really hard to find." ”

In the cowshed, counting Zhuang Yu, there are a total of nine and three girls.

The little girl who leaned on Zhuang Yu was the youngest, her name was Shi Xiaoke, simple and innocent.

"There's nothing to eat at night, and now it's a lot of chaos outside, just make do tonight, don't rob it, everyone has a share, and if you starve to death, you're not responsible, then you'll die in vain......"

The enslaved man said viciously. After saying that, he poured the whole barrel of rotten apples into the damp cowshed. After adding grass to the scalper, Zhuang Yu stared at the two big men without words.

Dahan looked at him tirelessly, after all, a cow or sheep to be slaughtered, there was no difference.

The evening was good, the children did not rush to the bridles, they all got two apples, and the little girl was very happy, and she also got two, although the two worst ones. Smiling eyes, like a child......

Shi Xiaoke didn't eat, sat down next to Zhuang Yu happily, put the apple in his arms, and wrapped it in his small belly, like a baby. His eyes kept smiling at Zhuang Yu.

It was the first time she had gotten so many portions, and it looked like she wasn't too hungry......

The little girl Shi Xiaoke is very satisfied, a little proud, a little happy.

Zhuang Yu saw it in his eyes, and his heart was slightly calm.

In the middle of the night, he took off his coat, covered himself and the little girl, and fell into a deep sleep.

The little girl has a little warmth on her body, very warm.

The night, not so cold.

Zhuang Yu slept deeply. In the morning, but he was still woken up by the little girl, Shi Xiaoke was sitting opposite him, looking at him with blinking eyes.

Seeing that Zhuang Yu woke up, the little girl immediately said.

"Big brother, I'm hungry and don't ......"

As he spoke, he took out a rotten apple from his arms and handed it to Zhuang Yu. Afraid that he would dislike the rotten spot on the apple, Shi Xiaoke bit off the rotten spot and swallowed it himself, and then handed it to Zhuang Yu again.

"Quick, vomit out, what should I do if I get sick and have a stomachache. Zhuang Yu said in a panic.

Shi Xiaoke shook his head, but still swallowed, holding the bitten apple in his little hand, holding it all the time, tears in circles.

Zhuang Yu was helpless, took the apple and ate it in a big bite, and the little girl got better. Then he took out a rotten and smaller apple and nibbled on it.

The young man took out another one from his cuff, gnawed off all the rotten skin, and then stuffed it into Xiao Ke's hand, with a stern look in his eyes, signaling her to eat. The little girl was a little afraid, so she took it, a little reluctant, but she felt very sweet and happy.

Raising his heavy hands, the boy slowly put on last night's clothes. A red note fell on the thatch.

Zhuang Yu's eyes condensed slightly, and he picked up the red note, which he wrote for himself during the New Year, and he always carried it with him.

Year after year, broken and peaceful

The noise outside, accompanied by the sound of chains clashing, alarmed everyone in the cowshed, and three more small children were thrown in.

"It's a good day, it's finally done, you all pack up, and you'll wash up later, and you'll have a good life in the future." A group of disgusting executioners looked at the "cattle and sheep" in the cowshed with a smile.

The children were a little silent, and Zhuang Yu asked.

"When are we going to let us out?"

"Oops, I've eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard, and I still want to go out, it's not good to live. As he spoke, he swung his long whip and whipped it at Zhuang Yu's arm.

A hot pain made Zhuang Yu understand the facts.

"Listen, you all want to pay tribute to the fairy grandfather, but the rare seed is your honor, go down, cast a good baby, don't have to suffer in the next life, wash it later. ”

Zhuang Yu somehow suddenly thought of the words "living sacrifice", and felt a chill.

In ancient times, the gods created the world, and all creatures on the continent became their rations, and the physique of the human race was particularly close to the gods, so they were especially loved by some and fed in captivity. After violating the harmony of the heavens, it has been sacrificed, some of the high-ranking gods can't bear it, spread the law and the acquired race, the acquired souls can rise, causing disputes between the gods, the war starts from this, lasts for millions of years, all kinds of ghosts and monsters are waiting for the opportunity to rise, hundreds of tribes are standing, and the gods and demons are dancing.

The sun is high.

Twelve children in the cowshed, including Zhuang Yu, were pushed and shoved into the open space, and the ground was red from the hot sun.

The anklets sounded, the children stood in a ball, and several slaves splashed cold water on the twelve children who had just come out, Zhuang Yu stood up and protected Shi Xiaoke and the other children around him as much as possible.

A middle-aged man with eagle eyes and thin eyebrows and a sheep's horn beard who looked like a traitor looked at Zhuang Yu with a little banter and ridicule.

"Okay, after washing, hurry up and change into clean clothes, you can be a seed, but your blessings, serve the good fairy master, and the wind and rain will be smooth in the future. The man in the yin and yang tone beat the slavery of splashing water for a short time, and said tightly.

"In the next life, try to have a good family, otherwise your life will be in vain,......"

"You are like this, you are not afraid of thunder and thunder, how have you ever had a conscience? This is just a child, can you see clearly, fools ......" Zhuang Yu yelled at the indifferent spectators around him, and then looked at the male body who had just spoken.

An old man in a sixtieth century spoke slowly, without the slightest sympathy in his eyes. "Conscience? What is the use of conscience, who will pity us? If we don't go, this radius of 100 miles will be completely over, and they will be alive? In this world, there is no one to protect, how can they be saved? It is better to send it to the sacrifice, and change it for a little peace and a little residual heat. ”

Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth.

"In chaos, there is no way to survive without strength. If you want to live, you have to have the capital to live. ”

"I don't know where you came from to think like this, but now the world is like this, we are used to it, and these children know better than you. The bearded man said to Zhuang Yu

The slaves also distributed to each of the children a garment made of coarse linen.

It was rare that all the children had a hot meal and fresh fruit at noon today, albeit just ordinary polenta.

Many people around looked at these children, full of pity and unbearable.

For them, the current road is to exchange these children for peace within a radius of 100 miles, even if they can't bear it, someone has to go after all.

"Fellow villagers, relatives, let them go...... , these are all lives......" Zhuang Yu had no appetite and yelled loudly at all the young and old around him.

No one looked up, they all lowered their heads.

"What are you shouting, do you think this is what we are going to do? Who has no home, no children, and everyone here has at least one child who has been treated as a sacrificial seed, and their hearts don't hurt?" the man in charge grabbed Zhuang Yu Mai's collar.

"We are just ordinary people, ordinary pariahs, the whole Great Wilderness Mountain is like this, we can't get out. Before the gods, you, me, all ants, are food. ”

"You tell me how to resist, what to resist, her father was taken to the battlefield, do you think he can live? and he, she, are all orphans, and he, and he, who was sent by his parents...... How to live ......" sharp words pierced Zhuang Yu's heart.

The boy suddenly thought of the girl who had been burned into nothingness by the fire.

"Rather than this, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible, and don't be born in the Great Wilderness Nanshan ,...... next life" The man's voice didn't have it, he glanced at the child who was throwing it in a gulp and drank corn paste, and turned his head and left.

It's not that they don't resist, it's that they can't resist.

For example, today, the way of heaven is impermanent, the acquired race rises, and some of the gods who used to favor the human race have been besieged by the innate gods and demons and the acquired race, and now they are in danger, and they have no time to care for human beings.

For millions of years, it is not for nothing that the monks of the human race have reached the top, but the sea is looking for a needle, the burden is too heavy, and it is rare to be able to protect one party, how to take care of everything, dare to be angry and dare not speak.

And on the way to seek the Tao, the Terran monks were easily coveted, and they fulfilled other evil animals, and they themselves had a lot of secret fights, which was not difficult.

Shi Xiaoke sat quietly next to Zhuang Yu, not a little scared, and the porridge in the bowl was also very clean.

The little girl hadn't eaten these for a long time, not to mention that she still had a red apple in her hand, not a little rotten.

The little girl was satisfied.

Zhuang Yu looked down at Xiao Ke, the child smiled slightly, he probably washed his face just now, it didn't seem so messy, pointed to the food on the table with his finger, and motioned him to drink.

Zhuang Yu suddenly felt that he was not as good as a child, everything was simple and had his own natural principles.

The boy remembered what Ah Ye said, and he didn't know what to do, so he read more, but now it's a little difficult.

What Zhuang Yu didn't know was that for a long time later, the little girl accompanied him through thousands of mountains and rivers, and on the way to seek Taoism, he used Taoism to cultivate his heart......
