The sunlight that gradually converged reflected the surrounding area like blood-stained red clouds, and the slightly cold evening breeze blew, as if it had never appeared before, taking away a trace of warmth and disappearing.
After tightening his clothes, Wang Meng raised his head and glanced at the low thatched hut that was already close at hand. He took a long breath and said with satisfaction: "We're finally here."
I encountered many powerful monsters along the way. Although Wang Meng's level has been raised to level 6, it is still troublesome to deal with it. What's more, he has to protect a little girl with no fighting ability, which is even more stressful. No.
Fortunately, the difficulty has been overcome.
He turned his head and glanced at the distance around him. He saw the little girl pouting and her head drooping slightly due to tiredness. Wang Meng couldn't help but smile. This little girl was like his sister: "I saw it from a distance."
? That’s the Hermit Village we’re going to. There are many interesting uncles there. You can play with them after we get far away.”
"Oh, is that it?"
…
After successfully entering the Hermit Village, Wang Meng suddenly felt a little more at ease. On the first day of entering the game, he seemed to fall in love with this quiet little village. Returning from Maris Farm, it was like driving a bus for a day.
It's like returning to the small cage he rented with his tired body. Although he is small, he is the only thing that belongs to him.
Just like when we were young and left our home when we grew up, the further away we were, the more we missed it because there were people there who loved us. And if the mottled courtyard wall no longer belongs to us that day, it’s because our mother is gone.
If mom loses her home, she will be gone.
The Hermit Village is your home in the game.
After entering the village, we took Yuan Yuan directly to the village chief's house. The village chief told Wang Meng before leaving the village, so we just came directly.
The village chief grandfather was still leaning on his dragon head crutch, looking into the distance with a faint smile. When he saw Wang Meng came, he smiled obviously. But when his eyes slid to Yuan Yuan, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and his eyes popped out.
The light, but soon frowned, disappeared again.
"Young man, you are finally back from a day of hunting! There will be ferocious beasts in the wild at night. I was worried that you would not know about it when you first came to the Hermit Village, but fortunately you are back. But who is this little girl?"
Wang Meng was a little happy that the village chief's grandpa cared about him so much: "Oh, this is the only person who survived in Maris Farm, his name is Yuan Yuan. Grandpa Wang, didn't you ask me to go to Maris Farm for a run? Wait where I am.
At that time, I discovered that due to Maris's selfishness, all the people on the farm were invaded by the dark power and rotted into carrion corpses. I had to kill them. Finally, I saw Maris in his castle. At this time, Maris
Has been completely controlled by the dark power and turned into a demon..."
"How is Maris?" The village chief grandfather immediately interrupted Wang Meng.
"In order to control the spread of dark power, I killed him."
The village chief's expression changed obviously, and he didn't speak for a long time, which made Wang Meng a little suspicious for a while. It seemed that what Maris said was indeed true, and the village chief and Maris did know each other.
After a long time, the village chief spoke: "Kill him? Just kill him. If he really used dark power, he really can't stay. Young man, you should know that Maris and I know each other!"
Wang Meng nodded, glanced far away, and found that this little girl was already playing in the yard.
The village chief's grandpa looked into the distance and began to tell: "When I was your age, I started traveling on the mainland according to my ancestors. During this period, I met three brothers, and Maris was one of them. The four of us
We traveled to every corner of the continent together and encountered many dangers, but by relying on unity, the four of us got through the difficulties again and again. Until one time..."
The village chief paused for a moment, with a painful look on his face: "Until one day we met a demon. The four of us were no match at all and were completely manipulated by the demon. If this continues, all four of us will die. It's a critical moment.
At that time, the fourth among the brothers deceived a few of us into retreating, and he went to seal the devil himself."
Wang Meng's heart was deeply shocked. Brotherhood can sometimes tell the difference between life and death. No matter how old you are, you must have had a deed worth remembering when you were young.
The village chief grandfather continued: "After I came back, I returned to my own village. The second and third children started a farm not far from the village. We will never talk about the fourth child again, and we will never talk about it again.
to the devil. Because we are all afraid, but I know that the second child, Maris, will not give up so easily, and he will definitely find a way to defeat the devil. At first, he had the best relationship with the fourth child, but I didn’t expect that he would choose
This step has been taken. While the dark power can give a person long-lasting vitality, it will also destroy his conscience."
At this point, the village chief grandpa didn't know whether he was angry or regretful, and let out a long sigh.
Wang Meng was deeply shocked. Previously, he thought that Maris's research on dark power was just to exploit the labor force on the farm. He didn't expect that there was such a starting point behind it, which was sad. But in the end, Maris is a brother.
Of course the purpose of revenge was correct, but the means he used to gain power were extreme. So after Wang Meng thought about it, he didn't feel that it was wrong to kill Maris.
However, Wang Meng was very moved by the sad look of the village chief's grandfather. It turned out that the village chief's grandfather was also a person who valued friendship.
"Actually, when I saw this little girl just now, I recognized her as the child of the third child. The third child also has a red mole on his forehead, which is the symbol of their clan."
With a soft voice, the village chief grandfather said another sentence.
Yuan's life experience was also clear, and Wang Meng quickly agreed with his previous judgment. Maris had indeed been completely occupied by the dark force in his conscience, and he personally ended the life of another brother. There is actually a difference between the kindness and ugliness of human nature.
At that moment, Wang Meng had already decided that even until his death, he would never tell Maris about the relationship between Maris and Yuan Yuan's father, and would not let her come into contact with the ugly side of human nature.
But what kind of clan did the village chief grandpa talk about? Which clan did Yuan Yuan belong to? Wang Meng fell into deep thought. Seeing that the village chief grandpa didn't seem to know, Wang Meng didn't ask.
The sad atmosphere gradually dissipated. The village chief took a long breath and handed Wang Meng a breastplate with a flick of his hand: "You have successfully completed the adventure of Maris Farm. This is your reward. This
This piece of equipment was accidentally obtained during my early travels in the mainland, and it is considered a good treasure."
Wang Meng quickly took the breastplate. It was given by the village chief's grandfather, and it would definitely be good.
"Young man, it's already dark, you can sleep at my house!" After saying that, the village chief turned and left. Today's incident, even if it was said that it had no impact on the surface, was probably a big blow to him.
