Chapter 1 Dependence on each other


A small town on the eastern border of Manhuangzhou, Manhuang Town The town is located in a strategic area.

Although it is small, it is very special.

To the east, it is the boundary of the legendary Shenzhou.

Shenzhou is a sacred land where gods live.

This is the destiny of all residents in the town.

The consensus is that although the residents have never been to that place, it cannot stop people from yearning for it.

To the west of the town, there is endless wilderness.

It is called the most ancient place, and there are many wild beasts.

They are ferocious, cruel and capable, but also have low intelligence.

Most of them dominate the mountains and rely on instinct to protect their territory.

As long as you don't actively provoke them, you can still be adjacent to them.

The Wilderness State is very big, but the residents of the small town don’t know how big it is.

Some people have never left the small town since they were born, so they have only heard about how big the world is and have never really seen it.

What’s more, after leaving the small town, It is surrounded by barren mountains and forests, and there are countless wild beasts living in them.

For a small town with only ordinary people, it is a restricted area, and anyone who touches it will die.

Even so, the town is extremely prosperous because it is one of the few safe passages between the Wilderness State and the Divine State.

It has never been attacked by powerful beasts.

It is relatively safe and has an endless stream of business travelers.

Promote the development of local economy.

On weekdays, residents in small towns do not need to work.

They only need to rent out their houses, or get some food and small crafts, which can often be exchanged for a large amount of coins, allowing them to live a prosperous life.

However, the more poverty-stricken a place like this, the The gap between rich people is often the largest.

Lao Liu's Steamed Bun Shop is no stranger to the residents of the town and business travelers traveling between the two major states, because you can often eat delicious steamed buns stuffed with meat here, such as those stuffed with earth rat meat and those stuffed with mountain phoenix meat. , there are even earth dragon meat fillings that make ordinary people change their minds after hearing them.

As long as you have money, you can buy these.

The owner of Baozi Shop is nicknamed One Eye.

As his name suggests, he has only one eye.

Legend has it that when he was young, he ventured deep into the forbidden forest and was injured by a ferocious wolf, resulting in the loss of one eye.

Since then, Duyan stayed in the town with peace of mind and opened a bun shop, and never stepped out of the town again.

In the early morning, Duyan and the guys were busy.

Today's business was very hot, because before dawn, another group of thousands of people from China arrived.

At this time, many people were queuing up to buy steamed buns.

This made Duyan and others Everyone's face is filled with happy smiles, because this means that a large amount of money will be added to the account today.

At the same time, in a corner not far from the bun shop, there was hiding a little girl wearing tattered clothes.

The weather was very cold, but her feet were bare, and her little face was white and dirty from the cold.

He looked only seven or eight years old.

He was looking at the one-eyed bun shop and swallowing saliva from time to time.

His big, watery eyes were full of hope and desire.

Of course, more than anything, he was afraid.

She knew what she was going to face next, it might be a scolding or a severe beating, but she couldn't care about that much.

She and her brother hadn't eaten for two days, so she didn't care, but My younger brother is not yet four years old, and he is already sick from hunger.

"God, please protect me.

Xiao Wu is so hungry that he is sick.

I must bring him food back."

The little girl suppressed the fear in her heart and prayed silently.

However, thinking of the consequences she was about to face, , the little hands were shaking unconsciously.

Finally, the little girl seized the opportunity.

The guy who was looking after the stove turned around, so she rushed over crazily, with dirty little hands, and reached out to grab a big bun on the plate.

The bun was freshly baked, and the high temperature made the little girl There was a look of pain on the girl's face, but she resisted making a sound and immediately threw the bun to the ground.

Sure enough, when the bun fell to the ground, the guy noticed her and picked her up.

The little girl's body was shaking with fear, and her dirty little face was full of fear, but her eyes were fixed on the ground.

The dusty buns seemed to be afraid that the dirty buns would disappear.

"You're a freak again, you dare to come here to steal things, little bastard, are you looking for death?"

With disgust on his face, the waiter threw the little girl to the ground.

She groaned in pain, but no one paid attention.

On the contrary, what this scene only elicited was ridicule and curses from everyone eating in the restaurant.

The waiter seemed to still not understand his hatred.

He raised his big feet and greeted the little girl.

The little girl endured the severe pain and hugged the bun that had just fallen to the ground tightly.

She knew that she had succeeded.

No one here was willing to take care of the food that fell to the ground.

She cried and laughed because she was I laughed at the pain of the beating because it meant that my brother had something to eat and he didn't have to worry about his brother starving to death.

"Forget it, Xiaodong is a pitiful child.

If you keep beating her, she will be beaten to death."

"Yes, she must be very hungry that's why she stole things.

Just let her go."

Outside the store, many well-meaning residents finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the waiter away, causing a quarrel between the two parties.

"Successful."

The little girl Xiaodong's eyes were full of joy.

Seeing that the guy was entangled by the big guy, he didn't respond to everyone.

He quickly got up and ran out of the door holding the still hot and dirty meat buns.

Xiaodong finally breathed a sigh of relief after escaping.

Although he suffered some flesh injuries and his face was still stained with tears, Xiaodong felt that it was worth it in exchange for the hot meat buns.

All the way to the northwest, there is a Earth Temple here.

I don’t know when it was built.

It has been abandoned for a long time.

Two-thirds of the roof tiles on the temple have long been missing.

There is only a patch of land above a remote corner.

The roof is covered with tiles, barely able to shelter from the wind and rain.

But such a small corner turned out to be the cozy home of the little girl Xiaodong and her younger brother Xiaowu.

Here, there were only two siblings.

No one would call them wild little bastards, and no one would punch or kick them. , although it is very simple, it is the home of two little brothers.

This seems sad, but the two siblings are very satisfied.

For them, being alive is the best, and being with each other means they are not alone.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, sister is back, look what she has brought back for you."

She was still far away when she heard Xiaodong's clear and joyful voice.

She believed that her brother would definitely hear it.

The dry firewood shook for a while, and then a pair of big black and white eyes emerged from the pile of firewood.

The eyes were clear and a little sick, but they still couldn't conceal the joy in them, because he could hear that the pleasant voice just now belonged to him.

Sister, in his heart, this is the most beautiful voice in the world, and sister is everything to him.

"Sister, sister, Xiao Wu is here" The little boy crawled out from the pile of firewood with difficulty.

He was less than four years old.

He had the same ragged clothes, the same bare hands and feet, and the same filth.

The only difference was that he had a pair of black and white, as clear as a bow.

Quan's big eyes were innocent, timid and bitter.

She tapped her little feet and looked out, with hope on her face.

"Xiao Wu" "elder sister" Finally, the two siblings saw each other at the same time, with happy smiles on their faces.

Xiaodong was walking with a sweet smile, while Xiao Wu had a sick look on his face and a heartless smile.

"Sister, you are injured.

Did Uncle One-Eye beat you because he didn't give us food?"

Xiao Wu was timid, as if he remembered One-Eye's ferocious face, and his petite body trembled slightly.

"Xiao Wu, be good.

Sister is fine.

Sister brought good things for Xiao Wu."

Xiaodong smiled and patted Xiao Wu's head.

He looked like a young adult and spoke in an old-fashioned way, but he accidentally pulled it on his body.

The kick hurt me, and I almost shed tears from the pain.

After all, she is just a seven or eight-year-old girl "Sister, don't cry.

Xiao Wu is a good boy."

Seeing Xiaodong's eyes filled with tears, Xiao Wu was very frightened.

He thought he had done something to make his sister unhappy.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his mouth shrank even more, and he looked like he was about to cry.

The sound comes.

"Xiao Wu, please be good, Xiao Wu, don't cry, sister got sand in her eyes and her eyes were blinded," Xiaodong pinched Xiao Wu's cheek and warned.

"Oh, then Xiao Wu is purring for sister, Xiao Wu is purring, sister's eyes are shining brightly again."

Xiao Wu tried hard to tap his feet, hoping to reach the corners of Xiaodong's eyes and help Xiaodong to blow them out in a sensible way. sand in it.

"It's okay, sister, it's okay, look what this is."

Xiaodong laughed, holding Xiao Wu's weak shoulders, and then shook off the shabby clothes on his body, revealing the dusty meat buns inside.

"Yeah, these are meat buns.

They are Xiao Wu's favorite meat buns."

Xiao Wu was so happy, his voice was charming and naive, and he soon forgot his fear.

His eyes were full of meat buns.

Although they were covered with dust, the alluring fragrance it exuded still made Xiao Wu swallow hard. , you know, the young lady and brother have not eaten for two whole days.

"Sister, the meat buns are so delicious.

Xiao Wu hasn't eaten meat buns for a long time."

Xiao Wu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and smiled heartlessly.

"Well, Xiao Wu is sick.

He needs to eat something delicious to get over it."

Xiaodong handed the dusty meat buns to Xiao Wu's hand, looked at it with regret for the last time, and then urged Xiao Wu to hurry up.

Eat.

Since they don't have money to buy medicine, the two siblings have to work hard to get over it when they get sick.

The best result is to be able to ask for charity or steal some delicious food and feed it to each other in the hope that they can survive.

"Sister, let's eat together."

Xiao Wu swallowed, but said firmly that he would give half to Xiaodong.

"Sister has eaten.

She is very full.

Xiao Wu is sick and has to grow taller, so leave it to Xiao Wu to eat."

Xiaodong shook his head and tried hard to burp, but couldn't do it.

"If my sister doesn't eat, then Xiao Wu won't eat either."

Although Xiao Wu is young, he is very sensible.

He understands that his sister said this deliberately in order to let him eat.

His young face is full of stubbornness.

He sits back on the haystack and stares at the buns in his hands before swallowing.

Drool, but nothing to eat.

"Okay, okay, sister, let's eat together with Xiaowu."

Xiaodong had no choice but to tear off a third of the dirtiest side of the bun and hold it in his hand.

The two siblings looked at each other and laughed, their smiles were innocent and happy. .

It took half an hour to eat the small steamed buns before I finished them reluctantly.

At night, the two siblings' petite bodies cuddled up against each other, which kept them warm and brought their hearts closer.

Today they finally had something to eat.

For the two siblings, there is nothing more pleasant than this. .

At this moment, happiness is really very simple.

It is enough to have something to eat and a small nest to sleep in.

In a daze, Xiao Wu called out softly: "Sister" "What's wrong, Xiao Wu?

Are you feeling uncomfortable again?

Don't be afraid.

My sister is here."

Xiaodong subconsciously tightened Xiao Wu's body.

She was extremely afraid that her little brother, who depended on each other for life, would suddenly leave her.

"Xiao Wu is not sad, sister, we will always be together, right?

No one can separate us, right?"

Xiao Wu looked up, his big black and white eyes full of longing.

"Yes, we will be together for the rest of our lives.

No one can separate us.

No one can."

Tears fell from Xiaodong's eyes, but her tone was surprisingly firm.

"Um" Xiao Wu had a smile on his lips and snuggled into his sister's arms.

He looked very sweet and carefree.

This was the most beautiful vow he had ever heard.

As long as he was with his loved ones, everywhere would be heaven, even in his sleep.

All are sweet.

At this moment, they didn't know, and no one would have thought that a nightmare was about to come, changing their lives and the history of the entire world
