Nie is not an ordinary survivor.

There is nothing special about the normal survivors except that they are stronger. In fact, it is not that there are people with special abilities in the wasteland. Since the seven cities were discovered, the descendants of those who inherited the abilities of the demons have also been very large.

The possibility of possessing special abilities is thousands of years old. Over the past hundred years, more and more people among the nobles have special abilities. Nearly one-third of the nobles have special abilities.

Their abilities are usually related to the demon god who gave them power, and they will inherit one or more abilities from those demon gods, which may be stronger or weaker.

Nie also has special abilities, but they don't seem to come from the same source as those nobles. Every time he fights, his strength seems to become stronger. Therefore, he is only twelve years old, and his strength is twice that of an adult male.

.

He often feels that there is a powerful power sealed in his body, but he is unable to exert it due to the weakness of the container.

This was Nie's secret. He had no intention of telling Chao Ci, but he also didn't intend to hide it from him. After all, this man had seen him hunt the black stone beast alone, and it seemed that he couldn't hide his unusualness.

Fortunately, in the wilderness, as long as you are strong enough, not many people will care where your power comes from.

Therefore, his attitude toward court speeches was neither to conceal nor to tell.

And this man didn't seem to show much curiosity. He seemed to take it for granted that a twelve-year-old boy had such power. His usual attention was not on where Nie's power came from, but on some things.

Weird aspects.

"I eat black stone beasts every day. I want to change my taste." Chao Ci wiped his mouth and looked at the rabbit-like things flashing across the desert with greed.

"..."

Nie glanced at him, wanting to push this guy into the swamp he just passed.

Nie had only hunted once in the past three days, and not every time he was successful. It was common for him to be injured and hungry when he failed. But since he took this guy with him, he seemed to be panicking without eating.

Nie complained that he was hungry every day, so he had no choice but to go hunting every day.

Fortunately, his current strength is actually enough to support his intense hunting, and Chao Ci will help him treat his injuries. After two or three months, Nie's strength has improved a lot.

Now that Nie Yiyi had two mouths to feed, he still had a surplus. The two of them often went to nearby market towns to exchange for some necessary supplies. At Chao Ci's strong request, they also exchanged some expensive seasonings to season the tasteless food.

Black stone beast meat.

Nie also saw the creature that flashed by. It was a gray rabbit, but it was different from the gray rabbit that ordinary people understood. It was just that the survivors were used to this simple and crude method of naming. The gray rabbit here was up to one meter long.

, and are ferocious in nature, extremely fast, and much more difficult to hunt than Black Stone Beasts.

Nie turned around and looked at Chao Ci coldly.

Having been accustomed to being hungry since he was a child, he felt that being able to fill his stomach was the ultimate requirement. He simply could not understand why Chao Ci was so obsessed with taste.

He felt it was unnecessary, and decided that if Chao Ci kept talking nonsense, he would not buy condiments for Chao Ci next month.

Today they hunted a black stone beast as usual.

They were lucky enough to find a cave at night.

After the two of them had eaten, Nie was ready to go to sleep directly. Chao Ci took out the thin quilt and pillow that Nie bought for him, but he didn't feel like sleeping.

Then he woke Nie Yao up as usual.

"What are you doing?" Nie opened his eyes and looked at him with a sullen face.

He thought that Chao Ci would pester him again and tell him stories or something. Chao Ci would tell him such nonsense every night.

However, this time it was different. Chao Ci approached him mysteriously and said, "I went to that market town a few days ago and they said that tonight is the Fengqian Festival. You seem to be one year older after this festival.

"

Fengqianjie, the name sounds good, but in fact it is still a simple and crude naming style.

The wind will blow in the wilderness for three months. It won't be strong at first, but will get stronger day by day. In the first two months, people can still go out, but in the third month, they have to close their doors and stay in their homes.

Last month, the Fengqian Festival means that the day before the strong wind blows. From the first day after the Fengqian Festival, the wind will start to blow.

The Fengqian Festival foretells that the remnants must actively store food in the next two months, otherwise they may not be able to survive the month when they cannot go out. But also because that month is the most leisurely day of the year for the remnants,

There seems to be nothing else to do except primitive sports. Over time, Fengqian Festival seems to have become a blind date activity for single survivors.

I heard that they will burn a huge bonfire in the center of the town, where unmarried men and women will meet.

Since the period after this was the climax of the birth of newborns, and it was not popular to celebrate birthdays in the wilderness, it was later agreed that everyone would be one year older after the Fengqian Festival.

So Nie is thirteen years old today.

Nie listened to Chao Ci's words and nodded casually, looking at Chao Ci with three words clearly written in his eyes: "So?".

"No, I'm just curious about what kind of girl you will find in two years." Chao Ci looked at him with a smile.

"..." Nie ignored him, "Boring."

"It's not boring here. You're just weird, okay? They say there are a lot of boys looking for girls at the age of thirteen over there. Why aren't you interested at all?" Chao Ci poked Nie's face.

Nie didn't want to talk about this stupid question.

However, he had discovered a long time ago that even if no one paid attention to Chao Ci, he could still have a happy conversation by himself.

Chao Ci frowned and said, "Even if you are not yet fifteen years old, logically speaking, you are almost fully developed. Could it be that you..."

The survivors do develop very early. Their thirteen years old is equivalent to sixteen or seventeen years old in the normal world. Are there any boys at this age who don't care about the opposite sex?

As Chao Ci spoke, he leaned towards Nie.

Nie's eyebrows jumped fiercely, and he avoided it with extremely sharp movements, and then his whole face turned dark.

"Are you crazy?!" He sat up straight and looked at Chao Ci with an unkind expression.

"The response is pretty quick..." Chao Ci muttered, "I'm just a little curious."

"Is it because you grew up later?" He looked at Nie and said, "It seems so. You are still a head shorter than me."

During the two months he and Nie were together, Nie Yue became much taller, but he was still a head shorter than Chao Ci. According to the development rules of the survivors, they should be almost fully developed by the age of thirteen.

"Or do you mean you don't like girls?" As if he had thought of some great secret, he suddenly came close to Nie's cheek and observed him carefully as if he were looking at something new.

"Are you sick?" Nie gritted his teeth and asked word by word.

"No." Chao Ci pinched Nie's face, "I just thought it would be fine if you don't like girls."

There are actually not many women in the wilderness, because they are not as strong as men and are prone to die young. Therefore, it is often the case that two men partner up. In a place where life is precarious, no one cares about this kind of thing, and there is nothing novel about it.

"What's good?" Nie asked in a bad tone.

"Then I won't worry about you finding a little girl and abandoning me when you become an adult." Chao Ci blinked, "How about you just marry me when you become an adult, and our wealth will not go to outsiders."

Nie actually didn't know what it meant to keep the money from outsiders, but Chao Ci often said some strange things, and he was used to it.

This sentence can be understood literally. It is easy to understand. Nie paused for a moment and quickly understood the meaning of Chao Ci's words.

Suddenly he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or angry, and his blush spread from his face to his neck.

"You are still shameless!" He growled, turned around, and decided that he would never talk to this guy again tonight.

What is going on with this man? He is only thirteen years old and he is saying these things to himself?

Are you so hungry? You can’t wait for a year or two?

His mind was in chaos and he didn't even know what he was thinking.

In addition to these chaotic thoughts, the scene just now was replayed in my mind. The man with red lips and cold skin who looked like a monster asked him if he could marry him when he became an adult...

His face is really white, his lips are so red, and they look so soft and smooth. I don’t know what it would feel like when I poke them...

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the expression on his face became colder and colder.

What was he thinking, how could he like such a person?!

At this age, Mr. Nie has never seen such a shameless person, who even confuses minors!

"Hey, are you angry?" Chao Ci poked Nie's shoulder.

"..." Nie said nothing.

"Don't be angry." Chao Ci stood up and walked to the opposite side of Nie.

Nie was about to turn over again, but Chao Ci reached out and held him down.

"Don't be angry, I was just joking." Chao Ci said with a smile.

"..."

He seemed to be even more angry.

Damn it, if this person is serious he will be angry, but if he is joking he seems to be even more angry!

Nie himself didn't know what was going on with this emotion, and it only made his face more and more stinky.

"As an apology, can I teach you how to read?" Chaoci said.

Nie opened his eyes slightly, a little surprised: "You can actually read?"

In the wilderness, writing was something that only nobles could know, and even ordinary minor nobles could not recognize a few words.

If a person is proficient in writing, even if he does not have noble status or a pass, he can still be qualified to settle in the six cities.

"Words are nothing, I know a lot of things." Chao Ci said lazily, "I can teach you all if you like, although those things are no longer useful here."

But it will definitely work for you.
