Chapter 034: Tracing the Roots
Wen Bin originally thought that the villagers in this small village also belonged to the setting of 'virtual NPC', but who knew that after further contact with each other, he was surprised to find that they were all natives who had settled here for generations!
It's so weird that it's almost hard to accept it all at once.
However, after listening to the other party's detailed explanation of tracing the source, and then comparing it with the actual situation today, all doubts will disappear as if the clouds have cleared the clouds.
In that old and dilapidated reception room, which was not very spacious, under the dim light of two bean-sized lamps, a group of people sat around the warm fire very casually, listening to the village chief's affectionate relationship with the two heroic boys and girls who saved the small village (-_-b, here specifically Wen Bin and Yan Jing... It tells the story of their ancestors, the ages and the present.
"We've lived in this place for generations, and we don't know how many years have passed. ”
"In the beginning, our hometown was just an ordinary place in this world, and we lived by the mountains and rivers, relying on hard farming, mulberry picking, silkworm raising, weaving and ferrying, and fishing. ”
"Actually, there is nothing magical about this world for us, and in our eyes, it is so unpretentious from beginning to end, and it can even be said to be very barren. ”
"There are few resources, minerals, and species, and it is difficult to develop industry on a large scale, so it still looks like an old and barren scene, and there is no improvement at all. ”
"It's really mediocre. In addition to the pure water source, dense forests, and fascinating mountains, it is almost a primitive ecological environment...... We really don't see anything out of it. ”
However, it is said to possess a much more abundant aura of heaven and earth than other comparable worlds. ”
“...... So, many, many years ago, one day, it was desecrated by foreign invaders, just like other backward and weak worlds. ”
"It was a frenzied and grand invasion and massacre... In that world war, all the indigenous people who dared to resist outsiders were annihilated, burned, buried alive, and even torn to pieces...... It is said that the cry shook the sky at that time, and the mountains and rivers were all cleansed with the breath of blood. Whether it's a rushing river. It is still a bubbling stream, most of which are dyed a crimson color. ”
"It's so tragic, it's a living hell on earth!"
"Rumor has it that in that scene called the heavens should not. The aborigines of this world who survived the war in the massacre of the earth. Only about one-tenth of the original remainder remains. And our ancestors happened to be one of them by luck. ”
"Because from the beginning, it was just a remote, isolated village... What can we do about the strong invasion of foreign invaders?"
"What do you say about 'national integrity'. What do you say about 'heroic righteousness', and what do you say about 'the shame of losing the country'...... When people die, there's nothing, isn't there?"
Therefore, our ancestors were very aware of the times, and chose to tame and surrender for the sake of merit. ”
"When I say that, you're probably going to feel shameful in your hearts, right?"
"But what if you don't?"
"The political, economic, military, and even the entire social development process of the two sides are so different, in their eyes, we are 'primitive people', 'uncivilized', 'closed', 'ignorant' 'inferior races'!"
"How can we beat them?"
"The result of the rebellion is nothing more than a bloody wash of loess!"
"Rather than this, it is better to grovel for the time being, and preserve the precious bloodline for long-term survival and development. ”
"After all, no matter how great the blood feud is, no matter how unbearable the oppression and shame, if all of us aborigines die, won't it be meaningless?"
"So we're going to live. ”
"This was a difficult and wise choice for our ancestors. ”
“...... In fact, in my opinion, under the external conditions of the time when the sky collapsed and overturned, it was far easier and more enjoyable to choose impassioned heroic righteousness than to live a humble and tenacious life with a heavy sea of blood and hatred. ”
"How easy it is to die!"
"Not only can you sacrifice your life for the country, but you can also win a good name for a lifetime. ”
However, such a price is inevitably too great. ”
"Of course, if everyone can die a singing and crying death, and die as heavy as Mount Tai, it is also very worthwhile. ”
"But in reality it's impossible. ”
"In that battle, which bordered on one-sided slaughter, at least 99.999 percent of our people died innocently. ”
"It is in this kind of motherland that thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are stained with blood, in the sorrow and sorrow, in the despair and sorrow of endless blood and tears, that our ancestors groveled and survived. ”
"Survive, continue to farm, mulberry silkworms, ferry, fishing, and quietly hide all kinds of suffering in the depths of my heart. ”
"Are they cowardly?"
"No, on the contrary, I think they are incomparably great!"
"If it weren't for the fact that there was such a strong and strong part of our world's aborigines in our ancestors' generation, then we might really be devastated, brutally and brutally exterminated on a large scale, and then there would be no hope left. ”
"Survive. ”
"Even if we survive with difficulty, tragedy and misery, as long as we can preserve a piece of our world, our own nation's bloodline, and strive to pass it on from generation to generation, humbly and patiently endure and wait, I believe that we will one day regain our freedom, regain our dignity, civil rights, and a fair and just social environment!"
"Not only me, but all of us, are living in this world with this mentality, having children. Passed down from generation to generation. ”
"We look forward to it from the bottom of our hearts. ”
“......”
When the village elder finished speaking, there was silence all around.
Everyone couldn't help but exude a look of concentration, deep fascination, and empathy.
This is the endless sorrow that all of them buried in the depths of their hearts, and it is an unforgettable scar that they are unwilling to and dare not touch.
Now it has to be excavated again because of the needs of the plot, as if you peel off the scabbed wound with your own hands and see its bloody and miserable real appearance......
It hurts!
It's painful, but it's inevitable.
Kneeling on the right hand side of the mat, Xiao Jing had already heard God, at this moment. She only felt that her heart was pounding and impassioned. I couldn't help clapping my little hands, clapping my hands, and exclaiming from the bottom of my heart: "It's amazing!"
"I hope you can make a comeback as soon as possible and become the true masters of this land!"
"Good girl. Thank you. ”
The village chief smiled. Raise the mutilated white porcelain bowl filled with thin wine in his hand. Respectfully to Xiao Jing, then holding it in both hands, and pouring it down with his head high.
Because I drank too quickly. Crystal wine spilled from the corners of his mouth, wetting his wrinkled, bitter lips and long, graying beard.
The lights are panicked, swaying gracefully in the deep friendship of the moment, so graceful and colorful.
This situation and this scene make people very melancholy!
Xiao Jing couldn't help but look stupid.
After a while, he reacted, and blushed his cheeks rudely, so he hurriedly picked up the tea bowl at hand with both hands, replaced the wine with tea, and returned to the village elder, and then drank it all!
"Good!"
"Okay!"
"Big guys, let's do it too!"
Some people raised their bowls, some followed suit, some laughed beside them, and some people shouted there in a lively manner......
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and together pushed the atmosphere to a climax!
The night was late, but in this small village in the middle of nowhere, in the small reception room, there was still a lot of laughter and bustle.
At the same time, however, the young man who was sitting cross-legged next to her frowned slightly, and looked like he was deep in thought, and he was noncommittal, and for a moment, he raised his eyes with a smile and looked at him coldly, and asked contemptuously: "It seems that this kind of old story is very important to you, right? invaders' and cause you to be destroyed by this?"
That's a pretty provocative statement!
"Huh. ”
Unexpectedly, the other party was not angry when he heard this, but he was holding an empty bowl, wrinkled his face full of furrow-like lines, grinned meaningfully, and by the way, he swore endlessly: "Do you say 'invaders'? They have already been exterminated by a third party, and even the old bottom has been lifted by others, and they are now gone." ”
“......”
Sweat!
Such a plot twist is too surprising!
"But," even Xiao Jing on the side couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and asked in amazement: "Now here, how can you ......?"
"Do you want to say, why is our world being wantonly sold as a 'game'?"
The village chief smiled, "It is the 'third party' that has made this world a 'game' that destroys the 'invaders'. ”
"They have made a pact with us: as long as any player can overcome the obstacles, break the curse, destroy the remnants of the 'invaders', and finally awaken the patron saint of our world, Princess Frog, who has long since fallen into a deep sleep, they will set us free!"
"Because of the fall of the invaders, many people feel that their revenge has been avenged, and there are no regrets anymore, and now this world has been transformed into such an absurd and strange existence, it is as if it has become a plaything in the hands of gamers in the major realms, making people feel sad and desperate, so most of the aborigines with rich families have migrated, and as 'foreign wanderers', they have gone to other worlds with relatively fair and stable social order to survive. ”
"Only we, the aborigines at the bottom of the society who have lived on this land for generations, are reluctant to leave our homeland and do not have so much money to do 'realm travel', so we have to stay honestly. ”
"In order to make a living, in addition to our daily work, we have also naturally received the position of being in charge of some cutscene NPCs from the lord family who developed the game system in this world, and made some regular part-time income from it. ”
"Of course, our duty is nothing more than to do what your story quest says, even... Including just confiding in the two of them about the unbearable old past of our clan, and the same. (To be continued......)
PS: Because I was seriously ill, I was persuaded to quit by the unit two days ago......
alas
This is probably the true portrayal of 'the house leak coincides with overnight rain'!
And now I can sit calmly in front of the computer and write novels, and I realize that I have really practiced now......
Worry about!
