Woniu Village is a small mountain village south of the Fen State border wall.

Looking to the north, the border wall of Fen State looks like a mountain, standing high there.

The border wall is sixty-six feet high, which is higher than the tallest mountain here in Woniu Village.

Su Mu knew that on the other side of the city wall was a very prosperous country.

However, even if the distance is only a few miles, the people in this village will never be able to reach there.

Woniu Village has only a few dozen households and is a very small village.

The villagers here all moved here more than a hundred years ago.

More than a hundred years ago, the world began to hear rumors that there was another continent to the west of Cangming Continent.

That continent is bigger than Cangming Continent.

However, there is no human race on that continent, only the demon race lives there.

It is also called the demon world.

The main reason why the monsters from the demon world did not come here to harm the human race is because the immortal masters of the human race spent a great deal of money to set up a large formation that spanned the two continents and turned it into a dividing line.

This side of the dividing line is the human race, and the other side is the demon race.

However, after tens of thousands of years of existence, the arrangements of the immortal masters gradually became ineffective, and the dividing line would soon disappear.

Without the barrier of the dividing line, powerful and ferocious monsters will invade.

They will feed on humans and eat all the people in Cangming Continent.

The spread of this news caused great panic among the people.

Some people were in constant panic, while others began to think about how to avoid being eaten by those monsters.

After hearing the news, Su Mu's grandfather and grandfather made an important decision, which was to move the family to Fen State.

Because he had heard that Fen State had tall city walls that could resist the invasion of monsters, and there were many powerful immortal masters there who could kill monsters.

However, after that small family left their hometown and traveled two to three thousand miles to get here, they learned an even crueler news - Fen State no longer accepted outsiders to move in.

They finally came, but they were unable to enter the high city wall.

The border wall of Fen State only protects the common people of Fen State. They are not common people of Fen State, so they have no way to be protected.

After hearing such rumors, many people rushed to move here, but after knowing that they could not enter the other side of the border wall, most of them chose to leave immediately and go east.

There are still a few remaining outside the border wall.

On the one hand, as mortals, we do not have the ability to move too far away. The long journey here has depleted all the savings of many people.

On the other hand, we still have a lucky idea to stay here - we live relying on this border wall. If monsters really invade, can the immortal masters of Fen country really bear to die without saving us?

That's what Su Mu's grandfather and grandfather thought.

Such a small family settled in this place and slowly multiplied into a village.

However, Su Mu's grandfather's grandfather died of old age, and he never saw the invasion of monsters in his whole life.

Later, Su Mu's grandfather's father also died of old age, but he still did not see the invasion of monsters.

Later, Su Mu's grandfather died of old age and still did not see the invasion of monsters.

Herding cattle and sheep is a relatively light job, usually done by the elderly and children. Even young women cannot find such a good job and have to work in the fields.

The water and grass here are not plentiful and it is not possible to raise a large number of cattle and sheep. Su Mu's family only has two cows and a dozen sheep.

Those who exceed that number will be slaughtered.

On the one hand, people who work hard in the fields also need to obtain meat and daily necessities in exchange for meat.

On the other hand, there is no way to feed them no matter how much they have.

When Su Mu was nine years old, his grandfather died, and he was left to herd the family alone.

Grandpa died, and grandma died earlier.

There are his parents, an older brother, and two older sisters at home.

He is the youngest one.

His parents, brothers and sisters all worked in the fields, which was very tiring work. Since he was the youngest, it was his turn to graze.

His name is Su Mu.

Mu means grazing.

In the past, when I was grazing with my grandfather, I always listened to his stories. In the stories, there were demons, gods, ghosts, all kinds of characters, characters with clear lines of love and hate, and the cause and effect of retribution and displeasure.

In each story, time passes so slowly, and he also grows up slowly.

However, after my grandfather died, no one accompanied him to graze with him, and no one told him stories.

Although he grew up from nine to twelve years old, he grew up in loneliness.

He is alone, he is lonely.

Sometimes he hopes that he will grow up quickly and be able to work in the fields. Although it is a bit harder, he can work with his family instead of driving cattle and sheep to remote places to graze alone.

In two or three years, when he grows up, his mother will be the one to take his place as a herdsman.

However, the waiting time is so long!

Every day, as long as it wasn't raining, he would take a pot of water and two steamed buns with him after breakfast, and drive the cattle and sheep out to graze far away from the village.

The only person following him was a dog named Dahuang.

On this day, he drove his cattle and sheep to graze two or three miles away from the village. This is a river beach. When there are floods in summer, the river beach will be submerged, so no one opens fields here, but it is a good place for grazing.

place.

He was sitting under the shade of the tree, with Big Yellow running happily in front of and behind him. When he got tired from running, he lay down at his feet.

Rhubarb is a good companion, but rhubarb cannot speak.

Hearing that monsters can talk, Su Mu would rather Dahuang was a monster, so that he could talk to him and he would not be so lonely.

Su Mu sat in the shade of the tree and looked to the north.

To the north is the high border wall of Fen State, which is higher than the tallest mountain here in Woniu Village. It looks like a long giant dragon lying there.

Sometimes, Su Mu could still see people walking on the high city wall.

I don’t know what kind of life the people on the city wall lived.

I don’t know what kind of land is surrounded by the city wall, what kind of people are there, and what kind of life they live?

Do they also have to cultivate the land and graze cattle and sheep?

Have they heard so many bizarre stories?

In the mouths of their ancestors, do they also have a distant, beautiful and rich hometown that they cannot return to?

Will the children there also have such lonely childhood lives?

Looking at the tall city wall that stretched across there like a shadow, Su Mu was obsessed with thoughts for a moment.

Suddenly, Dahuang, who was lying at his feet, stood up, raised his ears, looked in one direction, and let out a "wuwu" sound from his mouth.

This is the state that appears when Dahuang is very scared.

Su Mu became nervous all of a sudden, picked up the hatchet he had put aside, stood up, and looked in the direction Da Huang was looking.

The cattle and sheep graze on that side.

The group of cattle and sheep were no longer grazing at this time. They were all running towards this side. The sheep made a "bleating" sound and sounded very scared.

Dahuang became more and more frightened.

"Is the wolf coming?"

This was Su Mu's first thought.

Then, he saw a very tall bear running from the river, following the herd of cattle and sheep, and suddenly caught up with a cow, bit down on it, and bit the cow's head into its mouth.

A very tall bear.

Su Mu had never thought that a bear could grow so tall, much taller than his house, at least two or three feet tall.

Seeing such a tall bear, swallowing the head of a cow in one bite, his legs felt a little weak, and he thought of a distant word - monster!

——This is not a monster, so what is a monster?

——The monster is coming!

Regardless of feeling sorry for the cow, he turned around and ran towards the village, shouting as he ran:

"The monster is coming!"

"The monster ate the cow!"

"Everyone, run!"

Da Huang whined and ran ahead of him.
