Chapter 85 (1/2)

”Meaning? Hehe -- ”the old man laughed, and the gullies on his face crowded together, which made him look very seeping:” it's meaningless. It's just a tomb chamber used to imprison me. ”

There is a secret hidden in the huge and majestic catacombs.

But when the old man talked about all this, he had no feeling of missing or remembering. It seemed that he was simply telling a story, and slowly told the story to the ghosts and others in an appalling slow tone.

About many, many years ago, in a poor and closed area, there lived such a group of people Or, a nation.

This group of people has been living in this area for many years, year after year, generation after generation. Their clothes and customs are different. They live by hunting and farming. Moreover, they are extremely exclusive. When foreigners come here, they will be ostracized. Earlier on, if there are innocent foreigners flowing here, their treatment will be more cruel, and they will directly kill that person.

However, with the progress of the times, this closed nation has to contact with the outside world. They still maintain a high degree of vigilance, distinguish their own people from others, and call themselves Yan.

Yan people have a crazy belief.

Because of the barren and remote areas where the Yan people live, the harvest of the fields is not so good, and they almost all rely on the goodness of God to live. However, the mountains and forests nearby are very lush, and there is a grassland farther north where there are many animals. The Yan people gradually make a living by hunting and grazing, and move further north. Even so, the number of poor Yan people is still less and less year by year. Hunger and cold cover their whole life.

They began to pray to their gods.

It is no longer known what kind of ”God” the Yan people believe in. However, all the Yan people believe in this thing crazily. They think that the gods can help them out of their predicament. They think that as long as they continue to believe in gods, all problems will be solved.

According to the custom of the Yan people, every few decades, they will choose a clan leader from a group of new-born children. The clan leader will be the ”spokesman” of the gods. The Yan people believe that the gods will attach themselves to their heads and lead them to glory.

Therefore, when the new patriarch election begins, these poor children will receive all kinds of training, they will have the best food and accommodation, but they have to accept all kinds of inhuman training and torture since they learn to walk. They will go hunting alone in the forest from their teens and stay in the forest for more than half a year It doesn't matter if some of them die unfortunately, and there are a lot of substitutes. The children who survive are the final winners.

”I'm the last of those kids to live.” The old man in the tree sighed on the way to tell these stories. He was slow for a moment and continued to tell: ”yes, when I became the final winner and the next clan leader, I was also the Yan people The beginning of death. ”

There are no gods, there are no terrible or magical legends, no one is looking after the Yan people, the existence of the patriarch is just the beginning of a new tragedy.

Due to the lack of population, the Yan people attach great importance to their offspring. Every woman has to give birth to a lot of children. Men even regard these women as a tool to extend their blood. Therefore, it is almost impossible for them to marry. As long as a girl in the family reaches the age of 14, any man in the family has the right to enjoy her. When a woman is no longer a child, he or she will have the right to enjoy her When they have the ability to bear and the constitution, they will even be cruelly abandoned.

Yes, at that time, there was such a woman who was abandoned. She was sick. From the perspective of this backward and closed nation, this was a terminal disease. There was no need to waste precious food on this seriously ill woman. Even though she was pregnant for six months, she was still in a weak state at that time. She was not able to leave her children, especially premature babies It is easy to die and even infect the disease of mother.

Yan people immediately decided to leave her. People were afraid that her strange disease would spread, and they drove her into the forest to let wild animals eat her.

The desperate and extremely weak woman walked in the dark woods with her belly up. She was not lucky. No one would come to save her. So she soon met with the wolves in the woods. The wolves surrounded her and surrounded her. She thought she would die, be torn and eaten, along with the poor, unborn child in her stomach.

But no, the wolves surrounded her, but did not eat her. Yes, it's a miracle. Maybe it's the woman's big belly that makes the leader of the wolf pack realize something. They drive her into their own nest and find wild fruits and water every day, and even some bloody pieces of animal meat for women to eat.

The woman survived. Every night, many female wolves would sleep around her to warm her. Her stomach became bigger and bigger. She knew that she was going to give birth, but she was also dying. She did not know whether she could give birth to this child. She held a female wolf among the wolves, which was the companion of the first wolf. She begged it:”After I die, please let my child live to the world.”

God must have heard the voice of the great mother.

The woman always closed her eyes during the birth process, so the wolf rushed up and tore the woman's stomach, and took out the bloody fetus inside. It was a time to be thankful, because the child was alive!

Healthy, complete life.

The children are raised as their own children. Wolves are very protective of their babies. Human babies are slow to develop and move slowly, but they have never been abandoned. They are patient. One child teaches the child everything they can. The children raised by wolves are totally different from ordinary children. He is more fierce and cruel, full of animal nature and can not speak, Only like wolves howl at the moon, can not walk feet, but the action is extraordinary, claws and teeth are very sharp.

But after all, people are human beings. Even if they are raised by wolves, the child is very smart. He soon realized that he was different from wolves. Sometimes he would see the Yan hunters in the forest. He knew that he was just like those humans.

But wolf child has never returned to his own population, his feelings for wolves are deeper, wolves have extraordinary concept of population, this * * also extended to him.

Therefore, wolf children only look at those people far away, spy on them, learn and imitate them secretly, and spy down for a long time. Sometimes he can understand the human words and learn from them. But more, wolf children are no longer willing to explore.
