"Don't cry, don't cry..." Seeing the little boy crying suddenly, Xiao Jian immediately panicked, "What's wrong? Don't cry yet, tell brother..."
"Dad and the uncles in the village were all taken away. In order to catch fish for me, my mother let the river wash away me. Now I am alone. Wow...wuwuwu..." After saying this, the little boy cried. Even more powerful.
"Uh..." Xiao Jian's scalp felt numb for a while. He had never coaxed a child before. He stood in front of the little boy like a clay sculpture. I don't know how long it took, but the little boy gradually stopped crying. Maybe he was crying. When he was tired, he sat down on the ground with a plop.
"I'm hungry……"
"Ah...?" At this moment, Xiao Jian has not yet recovered from the little boy's cry, "Oh? Oh...are you hungry?"
"Yeah," the little boy burst into laughter when he saw Xiao Jian standing there stupidly, "Brother, you stand there like a clay sculpture, hehe..."
"Uh..." The little boy's mood changes were so fast that Xiao Jian couldn't accept it for a while.
After calming down, Xiao Jian asked: "Kid, are you the only one at home?"
"No, there is still grandma. Grandma recently went up the mountain to collect medicine for me and hurt her foot. Now she can't get out of bed. Grandma asked me to come out...come out...why did I come out?" The little boy touched his head cutely and suddenly suddenly Patting his forehead, "By the way, grandma asked me to go to the village entrance to fetch water!"
Only then did Xiao Jian notice the bamboo tube rolling down next to the little boy. The bamboo tube filled with water was half as tall as him. He didn't know if the little boy could take it back after it was filled with water, because Xiao Jian had just come to this world. The specific game The rules and task triggering mechanism are not well understood yet. Since there is an NPC actively communicating with him in this way, it means that all the previous things are needed by the plot and pave the way for the task triggering mechanism. Thinking of this, Xiao Jian wants to pass Help the little boy find his next mission.
"Kid, what's your name? Brother, let's fetch water with you!"
"Okay, okay, my name is Wei Yan, brother, just call me Xiaoyan!"
The two of them talked and laughed and went to the entrance of the village to fetch water. Xiaoyan took Xiao Jian back to his home.
"Grandma, grandma, I'm back!" Xiaoyan happily ran to the only thatched house in the courtyard as soon as he entered the courtyard. Xiao Jian also followed Xiaoyan and walked in.
The entire courtyard is simple. Rather than saying simple, it is better to describe it as simple. The entire courtyard is surrounded by a fence made of bamboo strips. The roof of the thatched house in front of you is covered with moss due to long-term failure to maintain it. and weeds, this environment reminded Xiao Jian of a certain text "Inscription on a Humble House" taught by his junior high school Chinese teacher, and it was exactly the same as the description in the article.
What I saw when I entered the house was a bed supported by simple wooden boards. Lying on the bed was an old woman with gray hair.
When the old woman heard her grandson's voice, she summoned the energy to sit up from the bed. She probably hadn't eaten enough for several days, so she used all her strength to hold herself up.
"Xiaoyan, are you back?" The old lady opened her hands and hugged Xiaoyan into her arms.
"Yeah, grandma, I'm back. Is your leg feeling better?" Xiaoyan looked at grandma and asked, "Does it still hurt? Does it still hurt here?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It's much better. Xiaoyan is so good and he is getting more and more sensible!" Grandma held Xiaoyan's little face and asked with a loving smile on her face, "Xiaoyan, who is this guest? Don't you know? Can you introduce me to grandma?"
"Oh, I forgot!" Xiaoyan touched his head cutely and said, "Grandma, this brother's name is... what's your name... brother?"
The atmosphere in the whole hut suddenly solidified. Xiao Jian waved his hand sheepishly and said to grandma, "Hello, grandma, my name is Xiao Jian. You can call me Xiao. I am a traveler. I got here because I lost my way." here."
"Oh, that's it. Our village has seen a few travelers in the past few years. Later, I heard that they became high-ranking officials in the capital and took charge of the military. Seeing you reminds me of those past experiences."
"Traveller? A traveler dressed like me?"
"No, they are wearing white robes, and you are wearing a clay sculpture robe!"
"Hahaha..." The atmosphere in the entire cabin immediately relaxed.
Xiao Jian didn't expect such an old woman to joke. No wonder Xiaoyan was so lovable.
After a while, the old lady straightened her body and suddenly asked seriously, "Xiao Xiao, you are also a traveler. Don't you have anything to ask?"
That's right, that's right. Sure enough, the game mission was triggered.
Xiao Jian looked at his grandma respectfully and asked, "Grandma, I want to know the story of this world and the history of this era. Can you tell me everything you know?"
Grandma nodded and told Xiao Jian the story of the world she knew.
It turns out that the continent where Xiao Jian was born is called the Mayan continent. This continent is divided into two forces, namely the Eastern and Western forces. There are independent countries between each force. After the changes of the times, the change of dynasties, and the annexation of each other, this This era is an era where all heroes come together. There are 7 countries in the Eastern Powers, namely Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin. The history of these countries is similar to the history books Xiao Jian studied in school. The only difference is that the three countries of Qin, Chu, and Zhao are bordered by the Western countries to the west, respectively. There are 7 military powers including Rome, Greece, Persia, Arabia, Ottoman, Russia and the British Empire. Among them, Chu State is connected to Russia to the north and Arabia to the west. Qin State is located in the center of the Maya continent, so it borders Persia and Arabia to the west. Zhao State Connected with Persia and Greece. Each of the Mayan continents has 14 military powers. Each country and force controls each other and exchanges what they need. Through wars and information exchanges between countries, the political, military, and economic foundation of the Mayan continent is laid.
Grandma said that when she was a child, she heard the ancestors in the village mentioned that there might be another unknown world outside the Maya continent, but no one had ever explored it. It seemed to be restricted by some kind of barrier. There were many travelers who wanted to explore the unknown world. The world has never come back. They are all the strongest men in the Maya continent.
Through his grandmother's narration, Xiao Jian had some understanding of the story of this continent. However, the information he learned from his grandmother was not very comprehensive and specific. Xiao Jian's understanding of the Maya continent's travelers exploring the unknown world should be what the players passed. Due to level restrictions, he has been promoted to another dimensional world, so all he can do now is to work hard to make himself stronger, improve his level by completing tasks, and be fully prepared to explore the unknown world.
