Xiaodou is the only son of an ordinary villager from a small village.
Before he was eight years old, his life was ordinary but happy. The biggest worry every day was rolling in the fields with his friends and soiling his clothes, and how to face his mother's "education of love" after returning home.
But when I was eight years old, my hometown encountered a very serious drought.
There was no grass growing in the large fields that the villagers put their hearts on, and the crops that they pinned their hopes for throughout the year naturally failed to keep.
Everyone dug up all the edible plants on the back mountain, and in the end they were so hungry that they dug up the soil and stuffed it into their stomachs.
When an old man in the village died, his belly was as big as a basin, and it was full of indigestible mud.
Xiaodou's mother used to escape from outside. It is said that she used to be a wealthy daughter. Her relatives disappeared along the way, and she was no longer naive and ignorant as before.
This village is located in a remote place, with little contact with the outside world. Except for the fixed exchange of supplies, the villagers are not allowed to go out without authorization.
After a long time, everyone seems to have gotten used to being bound here.
Even at the first moment of the disaster, no one thought of leaving.
When the situation got worse, they had no energy and food reserves to go out.
Seeing that something more terrible was about to happen, Xiaodou's mother contacted several parents who cared for their children and made a decision together.
They scavenged what little food was left and secretly sent away the few surviving young children, including Xiaodou.
This little food in the village is not enough for them to eat for a day or two.
And when the food is gone, their children may not be there.
Not only because of the threat of starvation to death, but also the green eyes of some adults in the village when they looked at these children, which made the parents panic and scared.
run away!
Even if there is a possibility of accidents on the road, it is still more hopeful than staying here.
Although there is little food, the children don¡¯t eat much. Maybe they can really support them to cross the mountain and meet kind people to rescue them.
Reluctant and afraid, the children cried and left the hometown where they grew up.
It was really uncomfortable on the road.
Lack of food and attacks by wild animals, these half-grown children went through hardships to reach larger towns.
Fortunately, I don't know if the family members who may have died secretly prayed for protection, but none of them died, but the older child was injured.
Including the youngest Xiaodou, every child is yellow-skinned and thin, with torn and dirty clothes. They look like refugees from somewhere.
After these children escaped from birth and were exhausted, they were quickly attracted by the new world outside.
Even Xiaodou, who had heard her mother talk about the outside situation since she was a child, couldn't hide her novelty and shock.
An iron box that can run fast without horses and oxen, there is a huge iron bird flying over the town, there are exquisite and beautiful lamps on the side of the road, but there is no lamp oil wick anywhere, and the pedestrians passing by are holding a white one in their hands. The jade tablet, after the shimmering light, you can see a vague floating figure appear, talk to that person
Is this what my mother said outside the mountain?
Xiaodou even doubted his memory a little bit.
The people here don't seem to be affected by the drought, at least their complexions are rosy and healthy, as if they are living a very happy life.
Several children were at a loss.
Fortunately, the people in this small town were very kind and did not drive the children away. Instead, they took them in very properly, cleaned them up, and provided them with delicious food.
There are also flying fairies in the town. According to the children, they went to the village to help their fellow villagers.
It's a pity that the news brought back is not good, and the people who stayed in the village are already dead.
The scene in the village was horrific. Obviously, after a brutal killing, everyone died together.
The adults in the town who came back after confiscating the corpse did not tell everything, but only regretfully told a few children that their relatives had passed away.
The children cried a lot, slowly accepted the reality, and then, along with the children in the town, were sent to another place.
It is said that this is an opportunity to change their future, and it is also a place that may make them "immortals"-Changhe College. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
