A touch of happiness

. "Yeah, because the place he wants to go back is the village where he was born, where there are flowers from his fathers, Heti where he picked wild vegetables, and the people he loves. If he wants to go back, he still wants to go back no matter what.

But that was the last time he saw such an innocent smile.The flames of war finally engulfed this simple village.

"Ah..." "Help..." "Please let him go..."

Xiu, who was hiding in the cellar, heard the screams all night, and the fire even illuminated the dark cellar.He wanted to go up, but he was afraid that his presence would bring more trouble to the villagers.He stuck to the crack of the wall and eagerly waited for the news. In the end, what he waited for was a group of children who were about to cry hoarsely.

"I'm really sorry, we have no way to take you in anymore. But what's worse, we hope you can take these children away." The village chief also said grandpa heavily.The village was attacked, and these children could be killed anytime they stayed here.

Xiu didn't know how to answer.If possible, he would also like to take them away, but now he doesn't even know how to get out of this place.This is simply too dangerous.Can he do it?

But before the word of refusal was spoken, he was defeated by the gloomy faces of these children. "I would. But how do we sneak across?"

"By a boat. Up the river." The Sinna's own rules, now they have to break them.Because the rules are dead, but people have to continue to live.But Xiu could feel the helplessness in Grandpa Yesa's tone.

"Why don't you leave together?" Judging from tonight, these occupiers were more like predators.They don't care about the lives of the villagers, but they want to exploit them.War corrupts people's hearts.

"The place where the treasure is hidden, the hometown of the Sina people, there must always be someone there." Yesa said with a difficult determination. "I will send three good men to take you through the checkpoint, and you can only walk the rest of the way by yourself. I'm sorry."

"No need to be sorry. I will take good care of them. When are we going to leave?" Xiu asked bluntly. It was no longer the time for pushing and shoving. The flames of war could burn this place down at any time. Only God knows how long these children can live.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the village chief quickly sent them to the boat.The children stood together in twos and threes, holding hands, sobbing and crying.Even though they are young, they already know their destiny and are leaving here.

"Xiu, the sea where I was born, the seashells I picked up...will we never see each other again?" the boy who asked Xiu said sadly.He didn't need Xiu's answer, because he already had an answer in his heart.

The author has something to say: The author will fill in "(Western Fantasy) War Chess" after the update. I have a feeling that as soon as I write Western Fantasy, various things will happen to prevent the small universe from erupting.But the author's soul in my heart will never stop burning, well, it's a bit hot for summer.

season finale

Xiu stood at the bow of the boat, the water splashed on the boat and splashed him all over.The water when he went was actually colder than when he came, which he did not expect.In just a few short days, he somewhat missed that lively and hospitable village.

And these children who were forced to leave their hometown must be more sad than him.But except for the night when they got on the boat, none of the children cried anymore.Several older children were pulling the sails, and the younger children were running around chattering, and had completely recovered their previous vitality.

"Xiu, what does the place we're going to look like?" A girl with braids sitting next to Xiu raised her head and asked him.

"It's my hometown, just like your hometown, it's a great place. It's just that there is no sea." Xiu replied while counting the supplies on the ship.The villagers who left said that they had never gone upstream, even though they knew that the river led to Jiadaishan, no one had gone there.

These supplies are the highest limit that the ship can bear, but they are only enough for the people on this ship to eat for ten days. If they are eaten sparingly, they can only last for half a month.But he couldn't think like this. Although spring was a season of plenty of food, there was no stock at all. Xiu was not sure that he could bring all these children back to the West Forest safely.

It would be great if it was raining... Xiu immediately interrupted his thoughts, not to let all this continue to develop into pain.As long as we go back, we will definitely see each other again.There was still a kind of uneasiness in his heart.The flames of war will not reach the West Forest.

The river was very turbulent, but thankfully the boat was much stronger than expected. It hit a rock wall hard at a turn and did not fall apart.Xiu took the children to protect the supplies tightly, but some fell out.

The boy named Jila who had delivered food to Xiu was very unwilling. The food was saved by their parents from the only remaining supplies in the village, and every bit of it represented countless tears and love.He wanted to jump down to fish, even if it was to save some.

It was finally stopped by Xiu.Ji La's eyes were red, and she glared at Xiu fiercely like a wolf cub, still refusing to give up. "My father even took out the seeds at home for these things..."

Xiu slapped him hard. "Your father didn't even want the seeds of life just to keep you alive. Do you want him to know in the end that you died for these things?"

Jira fell into silence, the circles of her eyes turned red, tears fell down, and she murmured. "Father..." Suddenly, the atmosphere on the boat became dull again, and tears of longing rolled in the immature eyes.

"Didn't you ask? Can we see each other again? Of course we will. Everyone live a good life. One day, we will see each other again." Xiu smiled and patted his head one by one. "Go back to your hometown, your sea, your shells, your loved ones..."

A smile with tears is cuter than a flower bud with dew.

This journey is really too difficult, not to mention the wind and rain, and there are a group of lively children, sometimes it is so troublesome that it is too big to have a haircut.What's more, Xiu learned to sail a boat for a few days in an emergency, and his skills are not as good as these half-grown children.

Having said that, Xiu himself is actually just a child, but compared to a year ago, he is completely different.The youth's fortitude sharpened the soft outline, like a knife, but still kept the innocence of a child in those dark pupils.

"It's going to rain." Jira squatted there and observed the sky.When the other children heard this, they quickly tied the tarpaulin even tighter.Jira was accurate in seeing the weather. Last time she said it was going to rain, it rained in no time.

But it was an unusual rainy night. "My God, the boat is full of water."

"I've never seen so much rain." A child was still in the mood to laugh.

"Stop playing, come and help me." Gila held on to the rope tightly. If there was any mistake in the boat, it would capsize.But he didn't dare to say it out. If others found out, they would definitely panic.

But even if he didn't say it, many children knew it well, how many people who grew up in the sea would not have such insight.Only Xiu who has never seen the rough sea is truly ignorant.

He also shook the oars with a smile. "Scoop up the water, it's really like a bowl of soup. Hahaha... My God, is the rain getting heavier?"

In the end, even the ignorant Xiu couldn't laugh anymore.The boat did capsize, just as it was approaching the shore.Because of this, the swimming children all went ashore smoothly.Xiu, who was the only one who couldn't swim very well, was also taken ashore by Gila.

"Cough cough cough... Thank you, I didn't expect to turn it over." Xiu still smiled.In his view, it is not easy for children to be safe. "Are the children all right?"

"Yes. Everyone is doing well except you idiot. Are you okay?" Gila didn't think about fishing for supplies in the rapids this time.

"It's okay. It's already night, don't wander around. You need to find the talisman tree first." Xiu couldn't help but think of the embarrassment of being chased by wild animals when he went out for the first time. "Hand in hand, you are not allowed to act alone. It is very dangerous here, and it is already a wilderness without any signs."

Xiu experienced wayfinding, and soon found the talisman tree that was still glowing at night, but when he was about to reach the place, he heard the familiar panting sound. "Run. Don't look back."

"What?" Jira realized that she had already started running.And when he turned his head, what he saw was a pair of red eyes, as red as blood.is a beast.Live.Bloodthirsty.Beast!

Xiu was very calm, so calm that he could even laugh about it.A year ago, like those children, I would only run away in panic.Now it's time to learn how to protect.He grabbed a twig and stabbed at it, but when he failed, he turned around and ran away.However, he was worried that some children would be left behind and be hurt by the returning beast, so he turned around to harass it from time to time.

"Be careful, Xiu." Gila shouted anxiously, but dared not approach.

"Go back. Go back quickly." Xiu was more afraid than him. The claws were too sharp. If he hurt any vitals, he would really die.

Xiu suddenly found that his footsteps became lighter than before, no, he had grown up.It turned out that his legs had become so long that he could jump over such high rocks so easily.

Before you know it, the run has come to an end, and the children should have reached a safe place.Xiu began to think about how to go back. If he ran further, he might be discovered by more wild animals.No, the beasts are beginning to gather.

Xiu started to turn his head, but he was afraid that he would bring the beast back under the talisman tree.It would be bad if those children who didn't know the range of the talisman tree left the safe zone.After hesitating for a while, the beast surrounded him.

This is bad.Fix three or two
