Xiaoyan turned her head and saw a little girl who was taller than her and had a little messy hair, holding two larvae the size of a dragon eye in her hand, looking at her.
"Sister, you..." the little girl was a little at a loss.
"Shh" the little girl gestured and kept silent, looked around alertly, then pulled Xiaoyan and hid behind a pile of stones.
"Eat quickly, this bug can be eaten. If you are afraid, you can twist your head off..." As he said that, the little girl handed the larva to Xiao Yan.
Xiaoyan was indeed hungry. She looked at the weevil larvae and threw it into her mouth. She chewed it a few times before swallowing it.
"I didn't lie to you, it's a bit weird, although the little girl smiled.
"Sister, I've eaten, what should you do?" Xiaoyan asked.
"I've eaten three of them, so we won't starve for a while. Can we find food together? By the way, my name is Gu Nianrou. What's your name?" asked the little girl.
"My name is Leng Yueyan." Xiaoyan replied.
"I am older than you, just call me Sister Nianrou, okay?"
"Okay, that's what my parents call me..." Leng Yueyan suddenly thought of her parents, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
"Good sister, all our relatives were killed, and all of us were the same.
Now, if we want to live, we must rely on ourselves. Don’t think about anything now, we will go find food.” Gu Nianrou pulled Leng Yueyan and walked into the distance.
Although Gu Nianrou is only one year older than Leng Yueyan, she has maturity and stability that is inconsistent with her age.
"Try to stay away from those who are taller than you, otherwise your things will be taken away by them, and they will even kill you and eat your meat." Gu Nian Judo.
Leng Yueyan shivered in fear, "Eat people?" Isn't that what the devil does? That's what the old people in the village say.
After climbing over a small mound, the two dug some earthworms in the soil, but Gu Nianrou didn't eat it, nor did Leng Yueyan let Leng Yueyan eat it. They wanted to find water to drink first.
But there were barren mountains and wilderness around, and there were no rivers at all. However, Gu Nianrou was very powerful and actually squeezed out a little water from the stems and leaves of some plants, moistening the two of them's already smoked throats.
"Sister, why are you so powerful?" Leng Yueyan said in a bit admiration.
"My family is a hunter and makes a living by hunting all year round. At the age of three, I set up traps with my father and started hunting.
We are seriously short of water now and cannot eat a lot of food, otherwise we will die soon. We will continue to look for earthworms, but don’t eat them, rehydrate first.”
After Gu Nianrou finished speaking, she took Leng Yueyan to search for various water-containing plants in the mountain stream and absorbed drop after drop of water.
During this period, the two of them only ate a few earthworms, but their condition was still very poor. When it was dark that day, they returned to the camp and got into the cage.
This cage is their shelter, preventing the beast from coming out at night and eating them.
This night was an extremely difficult night, cold and hungry. Leng Yueyan woke up several times. In the middle of the night, strange noises kept coming, and some screams were creepy. Some children were so scared that they kept crying.
Finally, it was dawn and some children had already started to climb out of the cage, but a few children did not get up.
One of them, the stronger one, was the boy who snatched Leng Yueyan’s yam egg yesterday, and he was already dead.
"I didn't find the water, but I ate a lot of things, so they died." Gu Nianrou glanced at the children and pulled Leng Yueyan away. They wanted to continue looking for water.
The little water I looked for yesterday was not enough for them to consume. Today, I had to find more water.
The food was secondly. In the morning, because it was cold and dew, Gu Nianrou put her clothes back and forth on the grass, and her clothes soon became wet.
"Xiaoyan, open your mouth"
Gu Nianrou twisted her clothes and water suddenly overflowed. Leng Yueyan hurriedly drank water. Seeing Gu Nianrou's actions, the other children followed suit.
However, the dew is not heavy, and the water that can be extracted is very limited. After working hard several times, Leng Yueyan and Gu Nianrou only drank half a cup of water at most.
As the sun rose, the dew disappeared quickly, but Leng Yueyan and Gu Nianrou were excited. They walked away, deliberately avoiding others, and secretly ate a few earthworms dug yesterday. Gu Nianrou saw a dead tree not far away.
I took a branch and folded it into two sections about half a foot long, found a stone, smashed it a few times, making one end sharp, and then began to grind it on the stone.
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Leng Yueyan widened her eyes and looked at Gu Nianrou in confusion.
Gu Nianrou smiled slightly, but did not say anything, and continued to grind. Soon, two rough wooden thorn daggers were polished. Gu Nianrou held them in her hand and waved them a few times in a row, showing a satisfied smile.
"Give it, this is our secret weapon. If someone comes to bully us and rob our food, we will kill them." Gu Nian Judo.
"I...I dare not." Leng Yueyan said in a little scared.
"It's okay, I will protect you. I have a sister as old as you. I can't protect her well. This time, I will protect you." Gu Nianrou looked at Leng Yueyan, her eyes turned red, as if she remembered something.
The two of them climbed over a steep mountain. They were more than ten miles from the camp, which was already a very long distance for the two children.
For them, this is an extremely risky thing. They have to consume a lot of precious physical strength and water when going so far.
However, when they crossed the mountain, the two shouted in excitement. They found a kind of vine, and a gourd the size of a human head grew on the vine.
Even Leng Yueyan knew this plant. It was a gourd melon, which was hollow inside and filled with water. Farmers often used this melon shell to make various utensils.
There were more than a dozen gourd melons on it. Each of them picked one and stabbed a small hole with a wooden dagger. Suddenly, water overflowed, and there was a faint sweetness. The two of them refused to waste a drop. Soon, all the liquid in the two gourd melons was drunk by them.
The two of them picked one more. When the two finished drinking, they were completely full. Leng Yueyan suggested taking one back, but Gu Nianrou rejected it.
Although they have been full, their bodies are still weak. It is impossible to completely replenish them by hydrating them once, and they need to continue to replenish them tomorrow.
If someone else discovers this place, it will not be their turn, and it may even cause death. The two of them will eventually return according to the same path.
During this round trip, the two of them spent the whole day, and on the way, they ate the gourd and melon meat, which could satisfy their hunger.
When they returned to the camp, they found that some people had not come back, and the few people who died this morning also disappeared.
The next day, Leng Yueyan and Gu Nianrou set out again, but this time, Gu Nianrou chose another route, took a turn, found the gourd vine again, and continued to drink water.
The two of them had just finished drinking a gourd melon when suddenly the footsteps sounded and a group of strong boys appeared. When they saw the gourd melon in their hands and the gourd melon on the vine, the eyes changed suddenly.
They shouted and rushed over quickly. Gu Nianrou pulled Leng Yueyan and ran away. Leng Yueyan was anxious: "That's ours."
The children drank all the gourds like hungry wolves, and suddenly rushed towards Gu Nian Rou Leng Yueyan.
Leng Yueyan was too young to trot quickly and was soon caught up by the group of people. A boy with many scars on his face seemed to be the leader of the group of people, shouting:
"Kill them"
The boys rushed towards the two of them, with fierce lights in their eyes and ferocious faces all over their faces.
"You have robbed the water, what else do you want?" Leng Yueyan shouted loudly.
“We want to eat meat”
A boy roared angrily, and was the first to rush up, and actually rushed towards Leng Yueyan, which scared Leng Yueyan to scream in surprise.
"puff"
However, the boy had just rushed over, and the wooden dagger in Gu Nianrou's hand stabbed into the boy's eyebrows fiercely.
The boy's body stiffened, and then slowly fell down. The blow was neat, cruel and fierce. The boys who rushed over were so scared that their faces were pale and stopped.
Gu Nianrou pulled out the wooden dagger, with blood on it, and said coldly: "This should be enough for you. If you come over again and we sisters work hard, a few of you will be pulled on the back of the mat."
For a moment, the boys were scared. They thought that the two little girls were just two little lambs, but they didn't expect that they were so cruel.
"Before I came here, I had passed the law of elimination. There were dozens of dead souls that died in my hands. If you don't believe it, you can try it." Gu Nianrou stared at the boy with scars on her face and said.
For a moment, everyone was shocked by Gu Nianrou's ruthlessness. Gu Nianrou pulled Leng Yueyan and slowly retreated until the distance was far enough before she left with Leng Yueyan.
The group of boys watched Gu Nianrou leave with Leng Yueyan. Finally, they also left and took away the boy's body.
On the third day, when I woke up in the morning, someone did not wake up. Looking at the bodies, they seemed to be numb and everyone began to look for food and water.
Moreover, the competition is getting more and more intense, especially Leng Yueyan and Gu Nianrou, because they only have two people, Leng Yueyan is too young and can easily become someone else's prey.
However, Gu Nianrou showed her extremely fierce side. The wooden thorns in her hand were stained with blood several times, completely shocking these people.
Later, no one dared to make any idea about them, and went to others to grab food and water, because as the search scope expanded, everyone began to store some water and food, which was not as scarce as before.
They need water and food to keep themselves strong, otherwise, their stuff will be snatched away or even killed.
Here, they can only rely on themselves, believe in nothing, and can only believe in strength.
Seven days passed in a flash. The original hundreds of them were now only dozens of them, almost one-tenth of them.
Among these people, Leng Yueyan is the weakest. Without Gu Nianrou's protection, she would have died long ago.
Seven days later, the one-eyed men came back and took them away. Three days later, they were taken into a sect, where tens of thousands of children were standing in the square.
On the square, a tall statue stands in the center of the square.
"From today, you will be believers of the evil gods, and everything you have is the evil gods, including your flesh, your soul, and everything you have."
