More than three months had passed since he met and parted with that strange black-haired man, and he still felt an inexplicable expectation deep in his heart.

Did the other party look for the entrance to the "Secret Kingdom of God"? Has it been found?

The most important thing is, if the other person is found, will he keep his promise and take him with him?

He has been looking for the entrance to the "secret realm" for six years. He can probably feel that the entrance is about to open at this time, but he doesn't know where it will open. He starts to become a little anxious and looks forward to that figure more and more.

appeared in front of him.

But the person who found him first was someone he didn't expect. His sister came here from a border settlement in the Kingdom of Rain, and she finally found him after all the hard work.

The other party seemed to have suffered a lot. After all, traveling far away in this era is not an easy task.

"You are obviously not dead, why don't you come back? Do you know we have been looking for you?"

"Ah, why don't you speak."

"Not only did your heart fall there, but your tongue also fell there?"

He remained silent and seemed to have no intention of going back.

The younger sister looked at him with extremely disappointed eyes: "You were indeed eaten by a monster and your heart was eaten by the monster. You were completely charmed by the other party. Look at what you look like now, like a walking zombie."

The way he looked at his sister seemed to recall something.

He suddenly spoke: "Don't look at me like that, just like my mother."

Sister: "That's because you failed to shoulder your responsibilities and disappointed your mother too much."

"It was the leader of the community who was let down, not the mother," he said.

many years ago.

His father died in an accident while transporting goods.

His mother was the leader of the entire settlement, and ordered him to lead his team to reopen the trade route for the development of the settlement and the ethnic group.

However, it's not that simple.

Being young and without much experience, he encountered something strange on the road. The entire team was wiped out, leaving him alone to go back in panic.

The first thing he suffered when he escaped was whipping and scolding. As the leader's mother, she was merciless and beat him till he was bleeding.

"Why don't you die outside and still have the dignity to come back?"

He angrily left the settlement and became a wandering trader, and his mother announced that he was dead.

these years.

He was indeed chasing something.

But at the same time, he is also escaping from something.

He said: "Didn't she say that I was dead? What did she want from me?"

Sister: "My mother is dead, and I took the initiative to come out to find you. The situation of the settlement has been very bad these years. The original trade routes are now impassable. We can only move around the settlement."

"But the settlement is too barren. It cannot survive without a leader to lead the trade route. I hope you can go back and continue to lead the team to open up the trade route."

He didn't seem too sad when he heard the news of his mother's death, he just stared blankly into the distance.

However, with the death of his mother, a certain knot in his heart seemed to loosen a little, and he said some words that he had never said before.

"Do you think I am useless and a cowardly brother? You would never come to me if you had no other choice, right?"

"Because I am a shame in your eyes."

His sister stared at him, but finally said.

"Yes, but if you come back, won't you be able to wash away the shame on your body?"

He laughed, looking at his grown-up sister, and suddenly felt as if he saw the shadow of his own mother.

"My father worked for the settlement all his life and went through life and death countless times. When he died, my mother did not shed a single tear."

"When I narrowly escaped death from the weird mouth, she hung me up and whipped me like a slave."

"I'm not afraid of death or taking responsibility, but I don't understand why she treated us like this. My father risked his life and sacrificed everything but couldn't even get a drop of her tears. My son mustered up the courage and failed miserably, but she only received a cold-blooded whipping in return."

"I am willing to fight for my mother, if she is my leader. Sorry, I don't have a leader now."

He thought again of the figure he saw in despair and death, the figure that opened the window in the water palace and smiled at him.

"You said I was crazy, that my heart was eaten by her."

"Even if that happens, so what, I'm willing to do it."

"at least!"

"She was willing to smile at me and wave to me, as if she was expecting me to come home."

She was stunned. This was the first time she heard her brother's voice. She was still a child when her brother left, and many of her impressions were told to her by her mother.

In her opinion, the other party is an incompetent person, a coward who gives up on himself when he encounters failure.

The younger sister said: "Mom has no choice. You have made a mistake and she must punish you. She has to consider the safety of the entire settlement."

He: "I know, because she is my leader, she is also my father's leader, and we are just her subordinates."

He saw that his sister was now the leader of the settlement.

He asked the other party: "If I go back, will you welcome me with everyone and sincerely smile and wave at me?"

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at her brother and said: "If you need it, of course I..."

But her brother interrupted her because he saw the result the moment she hesitated.

"that's all!"

"Leave here, leader of the settlement I once belonged to."

He stopped talking.

I sat there quietly and looked at the clouds in the sky, as if I was still paying attention to when the clouds would fall.

The younger sister left, feeling disappointed and uncertain about the future of the settlement.

Not long after, another figure appeared, walking towards the man dragging the canoe in the wilderness.

He stood up: "You are really here!"

Helfas had actually been here for a while, and he had just witnessed the conversation between the brother and sister. In the eyes of the younger sister, this was the continuation and survival of the settlement, while in the eyes of the older brother, it was a family issue and the meaning of his existence.

But in his eyes, the scene he saw was different.

In his view, this is the process in which a large number of bird-man settlements are gradually evolving into towns and villages, and it is the epitome of the evolution of these border civilization settlements from a matrilineal clan structure to a patrilineal family structure.

In a matriarchal bird-man settlement, the other person and his father are subordinates to the mother who is the leader of the tribe.

However, with the development of civilization, the resources and importance controlled by men gradually increased, and they began to demand more. Although they did not have the intuitive analysis of Helfas in their hearts, they instinctively moved towards this step by step.

Evolved in a certain direction.

His father was no longer willing to be just a subordinate, but the only spouse, and perhaps the actual controller of the settlement.

And he doesn't want to be just a "slave" inherited from his mother, but a beloved child or even heir.

However, after thinking deeply for a while, Herfas felt that his perspective was becoming more and more superior, and he seemed a little cold.

At this time, he also came to the other party and looked at this somewhat stubborn and lonely man.

"Perhaps I think too much, although times and civilization are developing unstoppably towards this form."

"At least, in the eyes of this individual."

"He really just longs for a family deep in his heart and someone who can love him."

Helfas interrupted the thoughts in his mind and spoke.

"Your sister should have feelings for you, otherwise she wouldn't come so far to find you."

He said: "But there are no emotions in the settlement. I can't satisfy them. Rather than being hostile to each other, it's better to stop here."

He paused for a moment and then continued.

"If I hadn't seen that figure, I might have followed her back, but they could no longer give me the warmth I saw."

"They would just yell at me coldly, but he would smile at me."

Helfas said nothing more: "I predicted the place where it will appear next. If you want to take a look, you can set out with me and see if you can find the person you want to see!"

He looked at Helfas: "Thank you."

Helfas: "This is what I promised you, and it is also the reward for the information you provide."

If the other person has a good habit, he will definitely do what he promises to others.

——

On a wasteland with scattered wild ferns, a canoe was lying upside down on the ground. Two people were sitting on the canoe, looking into the distance and waiting.

Until now, the man still didn't know that the person sitting next to him was the rumored god in the Kingdom of Rain.

If necessary, Helfas can play the role of a god, but he can also play the role of an ordinary person. He sits there quietly and is no different from an ordinary young man.
