(There is also a prologue in front, so don't miss it.) Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info)
Shicun, located in the Cangmang Mountains, is surrounded by high peaks and ravines, and the vast mountains are majestic.
In the early morning, the morning glow is shining, sprinkled like broken gold, bathing in the warmth of people.
A group of children, ranging from four or five years old to teenagers, can have dozens of people, facing the morning glow in the open space in front of the village, and are humming and exercising. The immature little faces are full of seriousness, the older children are tigery, and the younger ones are also decent.
A middle-aged man with a strong body like a tiger and a leopard, wearing a beast skin coat, bronzed skin, black hair scattered, and his bright eyes swept over each child, instructing them earnestly.
"The sun is rising, the beginning of all things, the most vigorous life, although it can not be as legend as the Xia food gas, but this Yingxia forging body also has great benefits, can fill the human body. The plan of the day lies in the morning, get up early every day and work hard, strengthen the muscles and bones, invigorate the blood and refine the muscles, and only then can you have the capital to survive in this reckless mountain range in the future. The middle-aged man standing in front of him, pointing out a group of children, had a serious face and admonished seriously, and then shouted, "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" a group of children replied loudly, full of anger.
There are many prehistoric creatures in the mountains, sometimes there are huge wings that cover the sky, casting a large shadow on the ground, there are also wild beasts standing on the peak, swallowing the moon and roaring, not to mention all kinds of poisonous insects lurking, extremely terrifying.
"Understood. A little fellow who was visibly distracted and half a beat slower exclaimed in a milky voice.
This is a very young child, only one or two years old, just a few months after learning to walk, and he is also exercising. Obviously, he came here on his own, mixed in with the older children, and clearly shouldn't be in this group yet.
"Humm, hey!" said the little one, waving his tender little arms vigorously, imitating the movements of the older children, but he was too young, his movements were crooked, and his steps were staggering and swaying, and the white milk stains left between the corners of his mouth made people laugh.
A group of older children looked at him, and they all frowned, which made the originally serious morning exercise atmosphere a lot lighter.
The little one is very white and beautiful, the big eyes are spinning, the whole person is like a white porcelain doll, very cute, immature movements, babbling in the mouth, naΓ―ve and cute. This made some of the old people sitting on the boulders in the middle of the other field who were swallowing the heavenly spirits also smile.
Even the adult men, who were tall and burly, with naked upper bodies and shiny and bulging tendons, also looked over and smiled. They are the strongest men in the village, the most important force for hunting and protecting this village, and they are also forging their bodies, some holding white bone sticks polished from the bones of unknown giant beasts, and others holding broadswords made of black metal, dancing with great force, and the wind is like thunder.
The living environment is extremely harsh, there are many wild beasts and poisonous insects, for food, in order to survive, many men died prematurely in the wilderness before they were minors, and if they want to live, they can only strengthen themselves. Working hard in the morning, whether it is an adult, the elderly or children, this is a habit that everyone has developed since childhood.
"Collect your heart!" shouted the middle-aged man who was responsible for supervising and guiding the children's exercises. A group of children quickly got serious and continued to exercise in the soft and brilliant morning glow.
"Whew...... Babble, tired. The little one let out a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground, watching the older children exercise. But after only a while, he was distracted, stood up, staggered, and rushed to a five-colored finch that was jumping not far away, but stumbled, and even fell a few butts, but he didn't cry, he was angry, hummed, and got up and chased again.
"Alright, get done!"
With a loud shout, all the children cheered, rubbed their sore hands and feet, and then rushed to their homes to prepare for breakfast.
The old men laughed and got up from the boulder. The adults, who were as strong as tigers, laughed and cursed, counting their children, carrying bone clubs and broadswords, and walking quickly towards their homes.
The stone village is not very large, there are more than 300 men, women and children combined, and the houses are all made of huge stones, simple and natural.
At the head of the village, there is a huge lightning strike wood, more than ten meters in diameter, and at this time, the only wicker on the main trunk has been hidden in the morning glow, and it has become ordinary.
"Oh, there's actually earth dragon meat, give me a piece!"
These children are very lively and active, even when eating, they are not very honest, and many of them come out of their homes with clay bowls and get together.
The village is surrounded by lush vegetation and many fierce beasts, but the food of the villagers is relatively not abundant, just some coarse wheat cakes, wild fruits, and a small amount of meat in the children's bowls.
In fact, food inadequacy has always been a serious problem for Ishimura. The mountains are very dangerous, and those strange beasts and fierce birds are so powerful and terrifying that every time they go hunting, someone may lose their lives.
If given a choice, the villagers would not want to go into the mountains. Because going into the mountains means that there may be bloodshed and sacrifice.
Food is precious to them and cannot be wasted, and every child learns this from an early age, hunger, food, hunting, life, and blood are all connected.
At the head of the village is the courtyard of the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng, which is made of huge boulders, next to the charred black and huge willow trees. In front of the stove in the courtyard, the white juice in the clay pot was boiling, and the milk was fragrant, and he was boiling animal milk, and from time to time he put some herbs into it, and slowly stirred it with a wooden spoon.
After a while, the old man shouted, "Little one, come and eat." β
Xiao Budian lost his parents when he was half a year old, he grew up eating the milk of a hundred beasts, and now he is one year and a few months old, if it is an ordinary child, he should have been weaned, but he still eats very sweet, refuses to break off, and is often teased by older children.
"Babble, huh...... I can't run anymore. He had been chasing the five-colored finch relentlessly, and he was already out of breath, and now he sat on the ground.
"Little don't eat milk!" a group of older children coaxed.
"You little skin monkeys, not all of them came from his age. The old patriarch scolded with a smile.
"We weren't still nursing at one and a half years old, hehe. β
In the face of the teasing of the eldest child, the little one smiled innocently, his big black eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, he didn't care, he sat in front of the clay pot and scooped the milk with a wooden spoon, and ate very sweetly.
After breakfast, several very old people in the village came to the courtyard of the patriarch Shi Yunfeng together, although their hair was already white, but they were still full of energy.
"Something hasn't been right lately, there's always a big guy passing by late at night, it's too much movement, something must be going on in the depths of this mountain range. β
"Well, I was woken up a few times last night, and my skin and bones were cold, there must have been some desolate beasts and big insects passing by here. β
Several old men spoke one after the other, frowning or pondering, discussing some of the recent signs of danger, feeling that something unusual had happened.
"I think something terrible may have happened in the depths of this great wilderness, which has attracted the attention of some primeval relics in the surrounding area, and they have rushed over. Old patriarch Shi Yunfeng said after thinking about it.
"Could it be out of Shanbao, right?" an old man suddenly widened his eyes, his beard and hair were all open, revealing a shocked expression.
The others also showed different colors, their eyes were fiery, but they all quickly extinguished the flames in their eyes, that kind of thing was not available to them, far away in the deepest part of the mountain range, and no one could enter.
For so many years, no one has been able to enter and exit alive, and all kinds of strong and domineering species in the mountains are infested, even if everyone in the stone village breaks through, not even a single wave will rise.
"Patriarch, we haven't been in the mountains for some days. At this moment, a majestic adult man, the leader of the hunting party and the next patriarch of Ishimura, walked into the courtyard.
"It's been a bit rough lately. Old Patriarch Shi Yunfeng frowned.
"But there's really not much food. Shi Lin Hu said, he was extremely tall, more than two meters, carrying a broadsword of more than 300 catties, the whole person was as strong as a human bear, and the bronze muscles were all over the body, like snakes and pythons swimming.
"The babies need to grow their bodies, they can't go hungry, they have to think of some way. An old man spoke.
"Although the night is not quiet, there is nothing unusual during the day, I take some people out, and it should be fine if I am careful. "Stone Forest Tiger Road.
Finally, dozens of young and middle-aged men gathered at the head of the village, and were led by the patriarch Shi Yunfeng to the lightning strike wood next to it, and prayed earnestly to the old willow tree.
"Sacrifice to the spirits, please bless the clansmen, so that the children can hunt the fat prey and return safely. We will sacrifice and provide for you from generation to generation with a devout heart. β
