As night fell, a bright and round moon stood in the sky like a silver plate, sprinkling down holy silver splendor. The roars of the savage beasts echoed in the quiet mountain along with the cold wind. It was especially awe-inspiring and terrifying.
At night, bonfires danced in the ancient village. The meat of wild elephants, rocs, and other rare animals emitted a rich fragrance. The golden color made people salivate.
Piles of flames danced in the cold darkness like bright holy fairies in the dark. The entire ancient village was bustling with noise and excitement. Everyone was gathered together. Today was the night of the full moon, and it could be considered a special festival in the village.
At this moment, Xiao Chen, Gu Cang Lang, and the other young men were sitting together. They were lying on the empty grass and looking up at the holy moon in the sky. They silently raised their wine cups and drank it in one gulp.
" When will the bright moon appear? I'll ask the blue sky for wine." After a while, Xiao Chen unconsciously muttered to himself. There was always a complicated feeling in his heart.
"What are you doing, kid? Why are you standing there? Let's eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink big shots.”An old man from the ancient village stepped forward and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.
"Yes, Xiao Chen, let's go. "At this moment, the Ancient Ash Wolf at the side can't help but be eager to give it a try. This kid is naturally fond of wine. As long as there's wine, this kid will definitely be indispensable.
"Raise your cup to invite the bright moon, and face the shadow to become three people. Come, cheers. "In a moment, Xiao Chen woke up from his deep thoughts and shouted straightforwardly. After spending a long time together, Xiao Chen had gradually become infected with the characteristics of the ancient village.
"Haha, good. This kid is bold enough to suit my appetite. Cheers.”At this moment, another old man appeared from behind. He carried a wine jar the size of a bucket and laughed.
"Uncle Ming, how can you be biased? There's still me. Come, let's continue.”He watched Xiao Chen and Gu Yuanming gorging on the meat. The Ancient Ash Wolf was instantly unhappy. It roared as it walked over with a large wine jar.
"Not bad, wolf cub, you have the ability to challenge your Uncle Yuan Ming.”The other old man beside him could not help but laugh when he saw this scene.
Immediately, a new round of drinking competition began. Even Xiao Chen's xiuzhe physique could not withstand such a fierce "attack". Not long after, he felt a wave of dizziness. At this moment, Gu Canglang and the others were still full of vitality. They were extremely fierce. The wine jars poured into their mouths without any regard for their lives, as if they were drinking plain water.
The old and young people around them also joined in the commotion. The entire ancient village instantly became even more lively. Even the children looked excited and wanted to drink too.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh. This village was really... valiant.
"Haha…Kid, you're really useless. "Just as Xiao Chen was sitting on a stone step in the village courtyard and watching everyone gather to compete in wine, a loud and heroic voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Xiao Chen looked sideways and was shocked. He didn't know when, but an old man was sitting beside him.
"Uncle Ba-"
The old man looked unkempt. His hair was messy like weeds, and his clothes were full of patches. He held a large wine jar in his hand and leaned against a stone wall. His turbid eyes glanced at Xiao Chen. After laughing heartily, he picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp.
"Kid, catch." Gu Yuanba casually waved his hand and the wine jar in his hand drew a perfect arc in the air as it flew straight towards Xiao Chen.
" Good wine!" Xiao Chen didn't hesitate. His left hand shot out like lightning and instantly caught the jug of wine. Then, he raised his head and started drinking.
"I @@#…Kid, take it easy. Don't forget about me.”Seeing Xiao Chen's ferocious roar, Gu Yuanba was instantly anxious.
Gu Yuanba could be considered as an exception in this village. After living in this ancient village for so long, Xiao Chen had only seen him not long ago. Otherwise, he really did not know that there was such a person in the village.
Gu Yuanba wandered outside all year round and rarely returned to the village. However, the villagers had always been in awe of his existence, especially the younger generation. There were too many legends about him in the village.
Of course, all of this was told to Xiao Chen by Gu Canglang in private. Xiao Chen could still clearly remember that when he asked Gu Yuanba who he was, Gu Canglang's dark and bitter face looked indescribably comical and scared.
"Kid, I heard that you were carried back by a wolf cub from the depths of the desolate mountains. Your life is really tough. Now that your injuries have healed, looking at your absent-minded appearance all day long, do you want to go out? " I took another sip and snatched the wine jar from Xiao Chen's hand. Then, I said casually.
"The Eastern Barren Territory is vast and vast. Even if a mortal can live for dozens of lives, it is still difficult for him to travel all over.“
"Hmm…" Xiao Chen was stunned. After half a year of living in the ancient village, Xiao Chen could barely be considered a qualified survivor of the Primordial Era. He knew that this world was far more complicated than he had imagined. The area was extremely vast, and only by using the ancient dao pattern formation to cross the void could one walk freely on this land. Otherwise, it would be difficult to move an inch.
"Hehe, Little Chen, are you planning to leave now? "In front of the stone steps, an old and hunched figure is holding a walking stick and walking shakily towards Xiao Chen and the others. Behind him were three people: Gu Yuanchen, Gu Canglang, and the little guy, Gu San 'er.
"Elder Hua…""Uncle Hua…" When he saw the person who had arrived, even the usually unrestrained Gu Yuanba had a trace of surprise flash across his face at this moment. He then respectfully said.
"It's good to be young. It's time to go out and adventure.”Nodding silently, the grey-robed old man, Grand Uncle Hua, felt a little emotional.
"Alright, haha-I want to go out and adventure too!”The Ancient Ash Wolf's tanned face was flushed red. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot of wine. He swayed as he walked, but he did not fall. After hearing the old man's words, he couldn't help but shout. Even San Er, who was standing at the side, did the same. Her big eyes, which were as bright as black gemstones, stared at Elder Hua without blinking, filled with hope.
They had been living in the Man Mountain for many years. Whether they were adults or children, they were all filled with yearning for the vast and unfamiliar world outside the ancient village.
"Hehe, wolf cub, do you really want to go out too? Then do you want Uncle Ba to bring you out to explore?”
"Er-ah, no, no, Uncle Ba, how could you have misheard? I never said that." Hearing Gu Yuanba's alluring question, his originally swaying body suddenly trembled. As if he had been enlightened, he immediately replied loudly. At the same time, its huge black head shook like a rattle-drum, and cold sweat dripped down its forehead.
It seemed that he was very afraid of this Uncle Ba in front of him.
"Haha, at least you have some memory. You haven't forgotten what I said back then. When you can defeat me, en en, you can go out and make a living. Otherwise…hehe." Gu Yuanba turned around and spoke to Gu Yuanchen, who was behind Elder Hua, without paying any attention to the cowering Gu Cang Lang.
"Old Chen, it seems like you haven't improved much in the past few years. Look at that brat's appearance. Is he still the wolf cub that I personally trained back then?”
"Old Tyrant, ah, pui, Old Gu, you old thing, don't always bring this up the moment we meet. I have nothing to say to you. If you don't have much ability, don't always blame others.”The middle-aged man, Gu Yuanchen, was tall and sturdy. His black hair was thick and his eyes were sharp. However, at this moment, when he faced Gu Yuanba, he did not seem so calm.
"Old Chen, you-"
" Cough cough---" A hoarse cough interrupted Gu Yuanba, who was about to fly into a rage again. Elder Hua was thin and his wrinkled face was dry. He was wearing a grey beast skin robe and walking with a walking stick.
"The two of you are still the same as before. You can't get along like fire and water. You fight each other the moment you meet. You're already so old. As elders, you have to act like elders. How can you be so rash in front of these young people?”
As the saying goes, everything can subdue everything. In the face of Elder Hua's reprimand, neither the unrestrained Gu Yuanba nor the calm Gu Yuanchen defended him. However, at this moment, the two of them were still staring at each other. Old Hua helplessly sighed when he saw this scene.
" Haha!" A crisp and pleasant laughter broke the short silence. Soon after, everyone was attracted by the laughter. Even Xiao Chen was no exception. He now understood that there was probably an unknown story between Gu Yuanchen and Gu Yuanba.
At this moment, Gu San 'er, who was beside the Ancient Ash Wolf, was blushing. She covered her small mouth and tried her best to hold back her laughter. A pair of bright black eyes sized up Gu Yuanba and Gu Yuanchen from time to time. It was obvious that the cute and innocent mistress was amused by the child-like squabble between the two of them.
"Hehe…Little San, you look like you're smiling very happily. Just now, I heard you say that you also want to go out and adventure, right?”Gu Yuanchen, who was beside him, had a calm expression and did not express anything. However, Gu Yuanba did not have any scruples. He asked Gu San 'er with a smile on his wrinkled old face.
"Yes, San Er just wants to go out.”The naive Gu San 'er blinked her big eyes and replied crisply. At the same time, he did not forget to wave his little hand forcefully.
"Hehe, Little San, you heard what your Uncle Yuan Ba said just now. So Little San is prepared to defeat me.”
"Yes! San Er will definitely defeat you in the future, and then go out and wander with big brother Xiao. "Little San 'er's innocent big eyes couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chen beside her, and then said with a serious face.
"Haha! Good! Good! Seeing that Mo 'er has a backbone, Uncle likes a boy with ambition like you very much. In the future, you will definitely become a great man, much better than those bastards like Wolf Cub.
As he said this, his eyes flashed with a fierce light. He stared at Gu San 'er, who had a determined look on his face, and then laughed out loud.
Gu Canglang, who was a fearless and barbaric man, was cowering in fear at this moment. Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. The inhuman torture he experienced when he was young was still vivid in his mind.
"Kid, you're in luck.“
At the same time, he looked at San Er, who was making a solemn vow, with a gloating expression. It was not hard to imagine the miserable life experience of the poor little mistress.
