C8 Taoyuan Village
There was nothing a person could do but wait. The thing a person could not do was wait. But in the sand of the years I wait for the dawn of hope, that moment I know, so sometimes waiting is also a power. — — Wang Faang
Lee Dashan's wife, Wang Faang, was sitting in a chair at home. Her right hand was touching the wooden table in front of her.
The more she caressed Wang Faang, the more tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Daloong, this table was personally made by your father when we were married. After more than ten years, your father's scent still resides on it."
The more Wang Faang spoke, the more she choked.
Ever since she came back last night, she had been sitting on a chair without thinking about food. She sat for an entire night and even kept on talking about her and Lee Dashan.
Lee Daloong's absence made Wang Faang sad. As a woman, she couldn't do anything. She couldn't even go out to find Lee Dashan's body.
In fact, Wang Faang knew that if Lee Dashan really died in the Demonic Beast's mouth, how could Lee Dashan still have a complete corpse?
Standing in front of Wang Faang was a fifteen to sixteen year old youth.
If a person's Primitive Continent reaches the age of sixteen, they would be considered an adult, so when a person reaches the age of fifteen, ordinary people would not use the name of a child.
At this moment, the person standing in front of Wang Faang was Lee Dashan's son, Lee Daloong. Wang Faang sat on the chair all night long without sleeping, while Lee Daloong stood in front of Wang Faang all night long.
He was afraid that something might happen to his mother, so he stayed with Wang Faang for the night without complaint.
Lee Daloong also felt very upset. Lee Dashan's absence from the night was enough to prove that he had a very high chance of losing his life. Since he was young, Lee Daloong's most respected father had always been him. Now that Lee Dashan was in a life or death situation, how could Lee Daloong feel good about this?
But looking at his mother's appearance, Lee Daloong could only hide the sadness in his heart. In addition, Lee Daloong had to comfort his mother from time to time, saying that maybe his father was lucky enough to survive. It's just that he couldn't return to the village in time due to serious injuries.
Of course, Lee Daloong's persuasion of his mother was just spouting nonsense. Honestly speaking, even he did not believe that his father could escape from the Demonic Beast's mouth.
However, Lee Daloong was the only man in the family now. If he couldn't be strong, then this family would be ruined.
Lee Daloong was angry with himself while listening to Wang Faang's complaints.
"If I had been powerful, my father wouldn't have been in such danger. Right now, I can't even go out and look for my father. I've failed too badly as a person."
At this moment, Lee Daloong truly understood the importance of strength. However, the funny thing was that when Lee Dashan forced him to exercise his body, he still resisted.
"Daloong, do you know why your father chose that name for you? Because he wants you to become a dragon, a dragon that flies to the nine heavens, a dragon that can rule the world! "But your father can't see your future."
Wang Faang began to talk to herself again. She seemed to have been talking to Lee Daloong, but never to Lee Daloong.
Two deep tears stained Wang Faang's face, making her look even more beautiful. She was helpless, she cried, she was miserable. But as an ordinary girl, the only thing she could do was wait.
"Big Mountain hasn't come back yet?" Lee Xun's face had two heavy dark circles under his eyes. He didn't sleep well last night and was worried about Lee Dashan in his heart.
"Village Head Grandpa, please have a bite to eat."
A 14-year-old girl was kneeling in front of Lee Xun with a bowl of rice and chopsticks in her hand. She repeated what she said.
"Xuner, you don't have to feed me anymore. I'm worried about Mountain with all my heart, so I don't have the heart to eat!"
As he spoke, Lee Xun sighed again. His aura was heavy, just like his heart.
"But no matter how much you care about Uncle Mountain, you can't just ignore your own body!" You didn't eat anything yesterday afternoon, if I hadn't forced you to drink some porridge last night, I wouldn't even know what your body would be like now. "
When the girl said this, her eyes were filled with tears, as if she cared a lot about Lee Xun's body.
"Xuner, you can go play on your own. This old bones of mine is nothing much. Do you think I don't understand myself? It's not that I don't want to eat, but that I really can't eat anymore! "
Lee Xun patted the girl's head and said lovingly, "Xuner, be good. Listen to grandpa, don't guard me."
"Do you think Xuner is annoying, Village Head Grandpa?" So do we have to chase Xuner away now? "
The more the girl said, the more tears welled up in her eyes, as if tears would flow out of them in the next second.
"Of course not, how could Grandfather dislike Xuner? "I like Xuner, but it's too late. Hey, Xuner, don't cry!"
As Lee Xun said this, the girl in front of him started crying.
"Village Head Grandpa didn't like Xuner so he chased her away … Wu Wu … Village Head Grandpa doesn't like Xuner anymore …"
The more the girl spoke, the more she cried, the more she cried. Her tears formed a line, falling straight down from her eyes, sparkling and translucent.
The tears moistened her cheeks, like dew on a lotus leaf, shining in the sun; or like the rain hitting the banana, swaying in the rain is a delicate figure.
"Okay okay, grandpa can eat, but don't cry, okay?" "If you do this, I will feel even more heartbroken."
Lee Xun's eyes were filled with tenderness as if he remembered something. Then, he took the bowl and chopsticks from the girl and gulped down two mouthfuls of food.
Seeing that the benevolent old man was about to start eating, a smile blossomed on her face. "Hehe, village chief grandpa is finally willing to eat. How was my performance, Xuner?"
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lee Xun raised his right hand and pointed at the girl's head: "You crafty little boy, you really tricked grandpa just now."
"Tsk, tsk. Then, grandpa chief, please continue to eat. I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look first. Trust me, uncle Shan will definitely be fine. Isn't it common saying that good fortune comes naturally?"
With that, the girl made a face at Lee Xun. The tears on her face were still obvious, but it seemed more like tears of joy.
"En, you can go now, but remember not to leave the village. It's very dangerous outside."
"Rest assured, it's not like Xuner is a child anymore. She has a sense of propriety. Grandpa Village Chief, please wait for my good news."
After saying that, the girl jumped out like a little fairy, innocent and innocent!
Watching the girl's leaving figure, Lee Xun's face became sad again. He sighed and said, "Sigh, Xuner is also a poor child!"
Lee Xun shifted his gaze to his hands, shook his head with a smile and started eating again.
At this moment, at the door of Lee Xun's room, a figure was cautiously withdrawing her head. Only now did she feel relieved and walked towards the village entrance.
The Taoyuan Village resided in a canyon with three sides of the village surrounded by mountains. It was a quiet and secluded place.
Naturally, Taoyuan also had the intention to live in seclusion within the forest. There were more than two hundred families located within the village, and they were almost cut off from the rest of the world.
Normally, a man would only go out to roam when he had reached adulthood and would only return to the village when he found his wife. Of course, you could choose not to return, but most people would be willing to return to their roots.
Other than farming, the men in the village would form hunting squads by themselves when they were physically strong or when they had trained themselves when they were out wandering. Lee Dashan was one of those men who would go out to hunt and provide meat for the villagers.
Of course, Taoyuan Village wasn't completely isolated from the world, and there would be hawkers that would come to the village every so often to sell some things. At that time, it would be the best time for everyone to understand the truth.
The kids in the village were also very happy to see the hawker, because every time the hawker came, he would bring some strange gadgets with him.
Naturally, little kids would not give up on such things, and would always beg their adults to buy them something fun.
From time to time, some people would be sent to the nearby town to sell some items. For example, the peaches that were harvested every June or July were numerous in the valley. Every year, the peaches would not be finished when the peaches were harvested, and the villagers would sell the surplus peaches in the town. The fur of the wild beasts that the hunting party sometimes hunted down was also a good selling material.
As for the money he earned, he would use it to buy other items. The excess money would be saved for next year's use. After all, the annual harvest was not always enough. If this year's harvest was not good, he could use the money he saved to buy some food in the town.
From start to finish, from start to finish, from beginning to end, the people in Taoyuan Village passed after generation after generation like this.
Ordinary people lived such a dull life, but they also liked to live such a dull life. They didn't fight for fame, they didn't admire vanity, they would play around in the village, sometimes they would go to the mountains to watch the sunrise, sometimes they would go into the forest to play with the wild beasts.
There were no ingenious facilities or impressive buildings in the village, only a few small thatched cottages to shelter everyone from the rain and wind. Of course, those thatched cottages also restrained the villagers' restless hearts at the same time.
When Lee Xuner left the house of the village chief, she immediately quietened down. Her lively and adorable face immediately turned calm.
It turned out that the innocent and lively her in front of Lee Xun was not the real her.
She slowly walked towards the village entrance. Along the way, she passed by a thatched hut and subconsciously stopped. However, after hesitating for a while, she decided not to enter and continued to walk towards the village entrance.
This room was Lee Dashan's room.
Suddenly, an urgent shout came from the village entrance. Someone had started to panic!
Lee Xuner's expression changed drastically as a haze enveloped her charming face.
This was because she heard one of the words.
"The Demonic Beast is coming!"
