The casual life of the flat space

After a long while, Grandpa Wu finally spoke again: "After a hundred years, I didn't expect that someone from the bloodline land would take the initiative to contact the head of the Wu family at that time. The old ancestor later lamented that if this person hadn't come, he might not have remembered to tell the matter when he left.

Because of rumors and the terrain, there were few outsiders in the village. Not to mention that the man came in the evening and wanted to see the ancestor, and even covered his face with clothes, so the family was naturally on guard. But the man repeatedly asked to talk to the ancestor alone, and finally the ancestor chose his favorite great-grandson, my great-grandfather, to have a secret talk with him.

After the family members left, the man told the ancestor not to be frightened and slowly took off the clothes covering his head. Even so, the ancestor felt that the frightened feeling he had when he looked over was comparable to the fear he had when he saw a snake disaster when he was a child. The man waited for the ancestor to calm down and slowly told him the reason and purpose of his trip.

The bloodline land was built with the purpose of preserving the Wu bloodline. Not to mention how rich the materials transported were, the craftsmen and soldiers were also selected from the best. At the beginning, Wu Zhuo's ancestor really wanted to make this place as good as Kyoto, or even better, so he spared no manpower and material resources and strived for perfection.

Although he had good execution ability, he did not have the foresight of Emperor Huai. When he learned that Emperor Huai was killed and this place became a forgotten corner, he was only afraid and hesitant, wasting decades of time. First, he did not build peripheral forces, and second, he did not pay attention to development, which laid a bad foundation for the future and led to the tragedy later.

When Wu Shu brought back batches of tribesmen, he was very happy at first, but later he was gradually troubled by the disputes between these tribesmen and his own bloodline. Especially when Wu Shu disappeared and Yu Yao was gone, the news spread somehow. If everyone hadn't been unable to get out, who knows what would have happened.

When Wu Shu came back to report the developments outside, he was also shocked to realize that he seemed to have done something wrong and did not understand the true intention of his father to establish the bloodline land. But it was not too late to mend the fold after the sheep had been lost, so he finally showed the courage of a prince and let Wu Shu stay in the common people village, and in order to prevent brothers from fighting, he established a rule that only the eldest son could hold the jade key.

This matter is no longer a secret. Since ancient times, there has been no rule that can prevent people from being deceived. Not to mention that the eldest son has been guarding against his tenth brother for his entire life, how many wronged souls and bones were buried in the forest to the east just to control people's hearts?

Perhaps it was because the cage imprisoned their minds, and although the next few heads of the family all succeeded smoothly, none of them wanted to open the cage and let themselves out. They indulged themselves in this world, and their days were indeed carefree and happy.

But everyone overlooked the most important point, which was bloodline. The first hundred years were fine, but things got more and more absurd later on. More and more idiots, deformed children, and deficient children were born, which did not attract the attention of the high and mighty people. On the contrary, in the end, unspeakable things happened.

Grandpa Wu stopped talking here. Although he spoke cryptically, Bai Tieying guessed what the "unspeakable" thing was, and she couldn't help but sigh. The story was told easily and passed in a few words, but how painful it must have been for the people who lived through it at the time.

Grandpa Wu took a deep breath and continued, "Two hundred years have passed. Although the matter of the Jade Key has not been mentioned for a long time, some people still remember it. So, a bloody massacre occurred. Overnight, the bloodline land flowed like a river, and the once magnificent building became a bloody slaughterhouse. Thousands of people died overnight...

When daybreak came, the Wu clan members who had managed to escape discovered that the blood they were so proud of did not live up to the name of the Bloodline Land, and they were no longer the masters here, because the slaves they once ordered around began to dare to look them in the eye.

Gradually, their residence changed from a high-rise building to a place closest to the farmland. They were not well fed, not well clothed, and everything they had enjoyed was taken away. Those disabled children naturally changed from precious masters to toys that could be played with or even harmed at will. If the jade key had not been found, they didn't know if they could have survived.

The Blood Land remained in a strange balance for more than a decade. But it was a dead end after all. If they couldn't get out, everyone would die. So the remaining people began to search for every place they suspected the Jade Key might be hidden, and even dug up all the graves.

After searching for several years without success, the people here have fallen into a state of madness, and everyone seems to be pursuing the final madness. Everything has lost order, and no one can escape - except those forgotten children.

Their leader is a man who is now in his twenties. When the tragedy happened, he was ignored and discovered just like those children, and lived a miserable and humble life...but there is one difference, that is, his mother is still alive.

Gradually, he gathered all the mentally normal children, and while these children were cared for and educated by his mother, they also united and found ways to protect them.

They did have some deficiencies, but those who were still alive all had minds beyond ordinary people. They invented various tools to obtain food, set various traps to block people who might harm them, and used their clever minds to survive in the land of blood.

More than 20 years have passed, and some of them passed away first, followed by their common mother... Those who have gone crazy, the future seems to be a foregone conclusion, so they decided to play a hearty game. Throwing bricks to attract jade, luring the tiger away from the mountain, watching the fire from the other side of the river, fishing in troubled waters... In the end, only the Wu bloodline was left in the blood land, but it was this bloodline that they hated the most.

There were twenty-three of them left. They sang as they threw corpses into Nanhu Lake. They moved from the caves they had been hiding in to the farms beside the fields. They worked from sunrise to sunset... However, such happy days lasted only a few short years. Today, the twelfth brother was gone, and tomorrow the fourth brother would stop breathing. Another twenty years had passed, and only five brothers were left.

The brothers had agreed to leave together after drinking the wine brewed by the sixteenth sister, but fate played a trick on them. When they were cleaning up their last dinner, they found the jade key that had been lost for nearly a hundred years in the stomach of a lake fish. They were surprised and angry. They tried every way to smash the jade key, but all failed. After crying and hugging each other, the brothers shouted at the same time: "Get out, let's get out!"
