The "boy" turned around and looked at the figures, one large and one small, smiling happily, as if they were as clean and simple as the vast prairie.
"Brother Big Dan, you are so awesome!"
A boy of twelve or thirteen years old patted the riding beast and came to the "young man" and said with admiration: "How did you know that the wild beasts would pass here?"
The boy was very delicate, with scattered black hair sticking to his small cheeks with sweat. He was panting slightly, probably because he had been running all the way without rest.
The "young man" still smiled so cleanly, pointed at the group of thousands of wild gliders, and said cheerfully: "Xiao Xiu, look, there is a pure white little wild glider there, I will help you catch it."
Hearing this, the boy quickly looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, among the galloping wild eagles, there was a small white wild eagle running desperately following the other wild eagles in panic. As long as it stopped, the biggest threat would not be that " "Youth", but the rolling stream of hooves behind it.
But it was already a little tired and gradually couldn't keep up with the speed of the large army. It was squeezed by the passing wild beasts and staggered around. The boy looked nervous for a while.
"Wait for me here."
The "young man" patted the head of the beast on his crotch, and the man flew away, stepping on the heads of the swarming wild beasts and flying past.
On the prairie, the wild gliders were galloping, and the "young man" stepped on their heads, flew through the air, and flew quickly above the wild gliders.
Sometimes the group of wild ducks turned sharply, sometimes leaping across the stream, but they could not get rid of the figures flying above their heads.
The "young man" was running freely. He seemed to have infinite power and nowhere to release it. Only running could vent his infinite energy.
He increased his speed again and again, but it was far from the speed he wanted and could reach. He felt like he was crawling slowly like a bug, even though he was already too fast in the eyes of others. .
He wanted to be free, to run unrestrainedly under the sky, so he forgot about the boy's mother's instructing him, and he forgot how many times he was embarrassed, and he speeded up to his heart's content!
immediately. He shot out like an afterimage and disappeared above Ye Luo's head.
When he reappeared, he was holding a trembling white Xiaoye in one hand and a piece of tattered cloth covering his important parts in the other. The strong animal skin on his upper body had long since disappeared, and he looked at the girl and boy who were catching up from a distance with embarrassment and regret on his face.
"Luran, don't tell your mother when you go back..."
He glanced at the slightly older girl, then looked back for the missing hide, and couldn't help but say with a guilty conscience.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled softly. Deliberately angry, he said: "Brother Big Dan, that is your last piece of clothing."
The "young man" suddenly felt a little downcast. He threw aside the pure white Xiao Yeluo and hurriedly went to find the animal skin coat that was probably already in pieces.
Seeing that the "young man" was really anxious, she hurriedly grabbed the "young man" and said:
"Brother Big Dan, stop looking for it. If you don't see it, it will disappear. I have good news for you. Uncle Zhuoma is back. He seems to have brought a lot of gifts. He should also have brought a lot of clothes for you. They must be from the city. The clothes you wear are not easy to break.”
"real?"
the boy asked seriously.
"Yeah!" The girl smiled and nodded: "If you don't believe me, just ask Jiao Xiu."
The "young man" immediately looked at the boy expectantly. The boy was hugging the white Xiaoye in distress. Seeing the "young man"'s expectant eyes, he nodded seriously.
"That's great!"
The "young man" was so happy that he almost ran again, but the piece of rag really didn't allow him to do any difficult movements, so he had to mount the beast angrily and said eagerly: "Then let's go back quickly!"
On the vast grassland. There were sounds of galloping beasts and laughter.
"When did Uncle Zhuoma come back?"
"This morning, I brought back a blue-haired sister."
"There will definitely be something delicious tonight!"
"That's a lot. What's for dinner tonight?"
"There must be lots and lots of delicious food!"
"You must have never seen it."
"You've never seen it."
…
Under the dim sky. Several tent-like houses finally appeared in front of the three people's eyes. To their right was a huge fence, and to their left was a flat piece of land. There were many things hanging out that were too late to take back. Today's hostess could no longer care about them. .
The three people who were chasing the captured Ye Shuo saw the side of the flat land from a distance. There was a strange car with four big wheels parked.
"Uncle Zhuoma drove that back. I heard he has made a fortune now." The girl said, pointing to the car.
The three of them looked at each other with envy, and quickly locked Ye Xiu into the small corner cut out from the fence on the right. Because they heard that Uncle Zhuoer also brought back a beautiful blue-haired sister from a big city, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and inferior. , arranged the shabby clothes outside the circle door, smoothed the corners, and tried to make them look cleaner and tidier, as if only in this way could they have the courage to enter that room.
Especially the eldest "boy", he didn't even have his shirt, and the cloth underneath was even more miserable. He had to beg the youngest boy to go to the plain on the left first and secretly get an old clothes of the boy's father.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the three of them walked towards the largest room with excitement and worry.
No matter which angle you look at it, this house and the family in it are extremely poor. If guests hadn't arrived today, there might not have been a slightly brighter light, but just a little fire. , only enough to vaguely see something as big as a human body.
Neither Linran nor Yuanxiu formally met their uncle. After receiving the news, they ran to find the "young man". At this moment, they were very expectant and anxious. They wanted to know as soon as possible what gifts Uncle Zhuoer had brought them, and because The appearance of the blue-haired sister makes them feel inferior. Of course, they haven't noticed that there is a problem with these two titles because they are different in seniority, and "younger" has one more name than them -
As the girl said, he had no clothes. For this extremely poor family, he wore too many clothes and brought a heavy burden to the mistress of the family, but she still gave him money from other places. She paid a lot of money to buy what she considered to be the strongest animal skin clothing, but now it was torn to pieces by him, and he didn't know what to do.
The lights inside the room were still dim. Although this is already the best burning lamp in their house, the three of them would usually be scolded if they tried to light a little bit, but today they lit it generously before it was completely dark.
When they came to the door, they fell silent. Standing in a row awkwardly inside the door, from high to low, those who lifted their trousers lifted their trousers, those who pinched the corners of their clothes, and those who hid their exposed toes, those who hid their toes.
The room became quiet for a while. Then I heard the angry voice of the hostess: "Where have you gone crazy? Come in quickly!"
At this time, under the swaying burning lamp, a familiar face looked at them with a smile, and seemed to clapped his hands happily: "Xiao Junxiu, come to Uncle Zhuoma quickly, you have grown taller again, please let me know." Let me see, this is really my little wife..."
After all, the boy was young, and most of his nervousness disappeared immediately, and he was about to pounce on Uncle Dolma, who loved him the most. But the two didn't move, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Niyue, bring the children's gifts quickly, they must not be able to wait any longer." The familiar face turned back with a smile, stood up and took Qiao Xiu's little hand, while looking at the other two people.
A young woman with flowing light blue hair walked out of the house. Her bright face made people feel dizzy like a fairy in the simple house. For bumpkins like them, she even walked as beautiful as a fairy.
The dark room seemed to become much brighter in an instant.
The "boy" held up his pants tightly, and the girl quickly lowered her head and pinched the hem of her clothes. The youngest boy shrank his toes that were exposed outside the shoes.
The young blue-haired woman touched the little boy's head kindly, then took out large and small packages of gifts from somewhere and placed them in front of the three of them. Stuffed into their hands.
The little boy's portion must be swollen with many toys inside. The girl's portion can be seen at a glance and contains many beautiful clothes and many books. The "teenager"'s portion is thick and heavy. You don't need to look at it. Just know what it is.
However, when the blue-haired young woman handed the "young man" portion to him. Suddenly he was stunned and the gift almost fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? Niyue?" Zhuoma felt her loss of composure and asked differently.
"It's nothing." The blue-haired young woman recovered immediately and smiled lightly: "I haven't seen it before."
"Sesbia is a gift from the prairie to my brother's family. Since he arrived at my brother's house, even the most ferocious beasts on the prairie have not dared to attack him again. We all love him." Dolma smiled. , I didn’t take it to heart at this time. After all, many people would be a little surprised when they saw the “young man” for the first time.
In this cold world, handsome people are created. In comparison, the "young man" seems a bit "violent". However, he is not that vigorous in the true sense, but a kind of upright temperament, as if The sharp sword that was unsheathed was as sharp as a sword, as if there was no scabbard in the world that could hold him, he was too sharp!
This is different from most black-haired people. He is happy but not submissive. He is free but not humble.
After the gifts were distributed, it was time to eat.
The male owner of the room appeared in the main seat with a dark face, without even looking at Dolma and the two of them.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the three "young men" just immersed themselves in eating. There were indeed many more dishes than usual today. It seemed that the hostess still welcomed this uncle's arrival.
"Brother, this matter is settled!" Uncle Zhuoma put down the cheap tableware and seemed to have no appetite: "Xin Ran has been very smart since she was a child. You can't let her stay in this ghost place like you all her life! She should There is a wider world.”
The male host snorted coldly: "My own daughter, it's not your turn to make the decision!"
Uncle Zhuoma ignored him and pointed at the boy: "Where's Yunxiu? He is a boy. Are you going to let him be like you and live the poorest life like a primitive man all his life!?"
The male host seemed to have his pride poked at him and said angrily: "We are poor and humble, don't come back!"
Zhuoma also said excitedly: "Do you think I want to come back? Back then, when I wanted to go out to explore, you locked me in the cage for three days and three nights. Yes, our parents died early, and it was you who worked so hard to save me. Lada, but my brother, is this your love for them? You are selfish, you want to keep them by your side forever, and you can never see the future!"
The male host trembled angrily and said: "Ganggun, never let me see your face again!"
Not to be outdone, Zhuoma stood up and said: "Should I get out? Of course I will get out. Do you think I am willing to stay in this hellish place? But, have you opened your eyes and taken a look at the world? What era are we in now? Look, Look at this home, is there anything modern and civilized? What kind of life do you live!?"
The male host pointed at him tremblingly, his face turned pale with anger.
Zhuoma ignored the obstruction of the blue-haired woman next to her. He pointed at several children with increasing excitement and said: "Look, look for yourself, what kind of life are they living with you? They can't even put on clothes, and what kind of garbage are they eating!?"
As he spoke, he pulled the clothes of the embarrassed children. While pointing at the food on the table, he even walked to the bed and lifted up the tattered quilt, shouting with tears in his eyes: "Look, what is this? What kind of garbage? This is simply a day for maggots! You want us all to Are you living like this? Why can’t you get out of the prairie and leave this barren ghost place?”
This time, even the hostess of the house couldn't stand it anymore and had to cough.
Zhuoma wiped her tears and said: "I'm sorry, my dear sister-in-law, I'm so excited. But I can't go on like this. When I came back this time, I passed by Kanshan Town. People everywhere started to leave. Why is he still there?" Do you want to insist on staying in this hellish place? I can’t understand it, I really can’t understand it!”
"Since the success of the Great Revolution, the New Religion has replaced the Old Religion as the number one sect in the world. My brother, is it useful for you to cling to the teachings of the Old Religion?"
"It's simply stupid, extremely stupid. What good is the old religion? You are a black-haired person. But you want to stick to the old religion that regards us black-haired people as slaves. I don't even know what to say about you!?"
"Also, even the Saint recognized the Protestant religion and even personally promoted the Protestant religious revolution. Is that string in your head broken?"
"Do you know how sad I was when Jianxiu asked me what the car outside was? Do you know how bad the children outside are? My nephew has never even seen a car!"
"Look at Lin Ran, the book I bought for her has to hide from you before I dare to read it. Look at Sesbia, I have never seen him wearing a complete piece of clothing. He has had a full meal! "
"Whether you agree or not, I must take them away, take them to the Holy City. They must not stay in this ghost place for the rest of their lives!"
The male host was extremely angry and slapped the table angrily: "How dare you!"
Zhuoma sneered: "Back then, I dared to escape from the prairie alone, and today I dare to take them away. Let me tell you, I am ready!"
The male host snorted coldly and said firmly and stubbornly: "I tell you, unless the Supreme God Chiwu appears in front of me right now, they will not go there!"
Dolma snorted and walked away, and the shabby family "dinner" finally came to an unhappy end.
At this time, the "young man" who was uneasily buried in his meal while listening to their quarrel suddenly raised his head and smiled cleanly: "Chiwu, Chiwu, ZHU, pig, haha, pig! Ha, haha, pig!"
The hostess hit him on the head: "What a pig, eat your food."
The "young man" just wanted to laugh for some reason, as if he had discovered the funniest thing in the world.
But he had to hold it in until his face turned red and tears flowed from his eyes.
…
At night, outside the house, Dolma was hiding on the flat ground, surrounded by several children.
Seeing Linran cutting the "young man's" nails skillfully, Dolma sighed: "I haven't been back for a year, and Sesbia is still growing so fast."
Alfalfa nodded and said, "Well, it grew a lot if I didn't cut it for a day. I don't know why it grows so fast."
Dolma looked at the "young man" and said, "He is growing up so fast that his beard is almost growing out. He is so enviably young."
Next to her, Yunxiu put down her new toy, a telescope, and pointed at an increasingly bright star in the sky and asked, "Uncle Zhuoma, is that star the biggest star?"
Zhuoma looked along his fingertips. She didn't know why her expression suddenly dimmed. She touched her head and said, "Yanxiu, that is the star of disaster. You will know when you go to school in the Holy City." What is it, it's not a star... Junxiu, Uncle Zhuoma did not hesitate to quarrel with your father this time, but also wanted to take you away. What he said during the meal was for one reason, and for another reason, This is it.
A catastrophe is coming, and no one can hide, not even in the prairie. Many people will die. I don’t want you to die like this. Alas, maybe you don’t understand, but it doesn’t matter. You will understand in the future, it will come soon, what a time of boiling blood and death it will be! "
"Jianxiu, you have to live!"
Linran also looked at the star that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and couldn't understand Zhuoma's words. Said: "Unfortunately, my father will not agree, and I can't bear to leave my mother."
Yanxiu also said: "Uncle Zhuoma, I don't want to leave my father and mother."
Zhuolma sighed and said, "Jianxiu, it's too late. No matter how late it is, it will be too late."
The "young man" looked at the star and said: "I don't want to leave here either. The sky is very high here and the earth is very far away. I can run freely. There is nothing as good as here. I also want to plant a grassland here." flowers, let them bloom in spring!”
Zhuoma laughed out loud and said: "Sesbia, I have never seen you worried before, you are always carefree. Even my old-fashioned brother said: It would be great if you were as happy as Dadan. "
The "boy" smiled sheepishly.
Yanxiu interjected: "Uncle Zhuoma, you don't know how awesome Brother Big Dan is. Over there, right over there. There are so many good flowers planted, just like the ocean."
Zhuoma smiled and said, "Have you ever seen the ocean?"
Yuanxiu shook his head, and used his hands to draw the limit of what he could imagine: "I've never seen it before. I heard from my sister that it's very big. Is it that big?"
Zhuoma touched his head and smiled: "Yes, it's so big!" Then turned around and said: "Sesbia, if you want to plant a whole grassland of flowers, you have to come with us. There are more flowers outside. It would be nice to have more seeds and better sowing machinery. But it’s a pity that a catastrophe is coming, and you just...can’t plant it.”
The "young man" didn't say anything. He felt that the new clothes were very comfortable. Although he didn't dare to use any more force, they were many times better than animal skins.
But is it really nice outside?
On one side, the vastness of the prairie allowed him to run carefree. On the other side, there were better clothes and a better world, but it was full of dangers and he might lose his simple life.
He was suddenly confused, which made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't like this feeling.
…
The night gradually deepened, and the three "young men" all returned to the simple and dark house one after another, and only Dolma was left outside.
"Go back to sleep." The young blue-haired woman came out from behind him and sat down side by side with him.
Zhuoma glanced at her and said lonelyly: "When I was little, I lay here looking at the stars, wondering what the outside world was like? From that day on, I always wanted to go out and see, even if I just took one look and came back, but I didn’t expect that just one look and I would never come back again!”
The young blue-haired woman said calmly: "It's really beautiful here, so you are actually conflicted."
Zhuoma smiled self-deprecatingly and changed the subject: "Why did you lose your temper when you gave Sesbia a gift? I remember that you have never lost your temper."
Niyue comes from a branch of a huge family in the Holy City. Although her branch has declined, that huge family is still a mountain that Dolma can look up to for countless years. Of course, if her branch hadn't declined, it would have been the same. Never would he, a nouveau riche, have such an opportunity to get close to the nobility.
Niyue shook her head and frowned: "Maybe I saw it wrong. When I was a child, I was sent to be a saint, and I saw the portrait of the Supreme God hidden deep in the temple..."
Dolma widened his eyes and suppressed a smile and said: "You don't mean to say that Sesbia looks like, like, the Supreme... Ha, ha, ha?"
Niyue leaned on her shoulder and said, "You can laugh if you want. I hate it. Didn't I say you saw it wrong? I was too young at that time. It's been a long time."
Zhuoma laughed sadly: "The world is going to be in chaos. For these three children, for Jianxiu, and for the future of our family, I have to spend a lot of money this time. I'm afraid those few people in your family will not Agree that we are together.”
Niyue said with a hint of sadness: "They may want to 'sell' me more expensively, but unfortunately no one may be willing to 'buy' me."
Zhuoma sighed and said: "Let's take it one step at a time. By the way, speaking of the Supreme God, I heard a news when I was in the Holy City, saying that the Blazing Martial God Armor has come to the world? Now it has been transported to the Great Temple. ?”
Niyue shook her head and said: "I don't know, but I heard that there is indeed a ban there. After all, the disaster star is coming. Who knows, those things in the temple are too far away from us, so we should think about it and really have to bear it tomorrow. Are you taking them secretly with your brother?..."
^(To be continued.)
