The sun hangs lazily in the sky, casting hot rays of light underground without hesitation. The tall trees absorb most of the light, but even the breath they exhale is accompanied by heat. I wonder if it is because of the scorching heat.

The screams seemed feeble, violent and gentle. Small insects and animals could be seen lying on the ground everywhere. I don’t know whether they were enjoying the coolness or being killed by the temperature. At this time, a burst of singing came——

"God is really eye-opening today,"

"There is no danger in no matter the wind or rain."

"I didn't let any of my companions disappear,"

"It's such a huge bargain again."

"I'm not greedy for wine or money,"

"I just want to hold my wife and children and fall asleep."

The huge wooden cart walked slowly from the depths of the jungle with steady steps and brisk singing. Even though the body was covered with moss, even though the body always made a "crunching" sound when disobedient, it still made a "crunching" sound.

This is when it is happiest, because as long as the singing sounds, it means a good harvest, joy, and a happy time ahead.

Surrounding the wooden cart were four burly men, wearing clothes simply made of animal skins, with huge leather kettles hanging on their waists, and holding huge metal swords in their hands. There were five on the cart.

Some of the beasts had long tusks, and some had strange horns. However, no matter how scary they looked at this time, they could only lie obediently in the car and let the big men transport them wherever they went.

"Uncle Wanda and the others are back!" Along with the singing, not only the people pulling the cart and the prey on the cart appeared. The little boy ran out of the village and stood in the middle of the road, staring closely at the hunting team.

Even from far away, the middle-aged man at the head could see the twinkling light in the boy's eyes.

The outgoing team approached, and the leading man walked up to the boy, patted his head and said, "Go back, Ah Chen, remember to eat more tonight."

"Oh~~~~~" the little boy yelled and ran away. Looking at the small and lively figure, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The wind at night was less hot and more intoxicating than during the day. People were sitting together, with flames roaring in the middle, and a huge pot was placed on it. In the pot was not only the meat returned from this hunting, but also

There are vegetables grown by various families, tumbling up and down in the pot with the milky white soup.

Below, several big men gathered together and drank happily. They were full of momentum and happily chatted with each other, as if just talking could make the village shake. Suddenly, their attention changed:

"Achen! Come on, come on."

Our poor Ah Chen was holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon longer than himself in the other. He was about to fish out some meat in the big pot when a sudden sound made his neck shrink, and the spoon naturally fell into the pot. He

Like a child who was caught doing something wrong, he turned his head unnaturally: "Uncle Liang..."

The man called Uncle Liang stopped what he was doing and waved to Ah Chen. When he came over, Uncle Liang pointed to his kettle again.

Ah Chen naturally knew what he meant, so he took it and put it under his nose and smelled: "Wine?"

Uncle Shun looked at the people next to him with a matter-of-fact expression and said, "Yes, men should drink!"

Achen held the kettle, looked at Uncle Shun, and then at his other uncles. Seeing that they all had trouble-making expressions, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. After much hesitation, he put it to his mouth and took a sip. (Not yet.)

Adults are not allowed to drink alcohol!) As soon as he put it into his mouth, Ah Chen felt his mouth and lips burning. He frantically fanned his mouth with his hands and kept sucking in cool air, but the situation still couldn't be relieved. He...

The funny look made the uncles laugh.

A little away from the lively atmosphere, in a not too dark corner, Wang Xiulan sat next to Chen Wentao, looked at him without saying a word, and handed him the bowl that had just been filled: "What's wrong?

"

"Nothing." He still looked as if nothing had happened, "Why do you ask?"

"You haven't eaten anything all night." Wang Xiulan said as she followed his eyes. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Chen Wentao's eyes had been lingering on their child. What else did she want to say,

When it came to her mouth, she only said a few words, "It's okay." She followed his eyes and looked at Ah Chen, feeling that her body and mind suddenly relaxed, and she no longer cared about the worries of the person in front of her.

The flame gradually extinguished, and only a few sparks remained in the originally hot charcoal fire. I don't know when the moon had already hung high above the head, as if to warn people that it was getting late. "Ah Chen, let's go." Wait for Ah Chen and

After saying hello to her little friend, Wang Xiulan and Chen Wentao took him home together. In front of them was the moon hanging high, and the ground was illuminated by the moonlight, making the ground darker and lighter. In front of them, Chen Wentao was holding his hands behind his back without saying a word.

As they walked, Wang Xiulan looked at them with a smile behind them. Ah Chen walked in the middle, jumping only on the dark ground that was not illuminated by the moonlight. The village was not big, and after a while they arrived in front of their home.

.

As soon as Chen Wentao opened the door, Achen ran in first. He only heard Wang Xiulan's voice coming from behind: "Stop playing and go to bed quickly!"

For people of Ah Chen's age, adults always have endless things to talk about and endless things to do. But he doesn't care about these. What he cares more about is whether his bedtime story tonight is interesting. So,

When Wang Xiulan came to his bed, he immediately sat up again after lying down: "Grandma, what story are you telling today?"

Wang Xiulan used her hands that had worked hard all her life to pull up Ah Chen's hair and said, "Good boy, let's tell the story of the creation of the world today."

Ah Chen was obviously not happy, and his little brows knitted together: "Ah? Today is the story of creation? How many times have we told it... After the creation of the world, what did the God of Creation do?"

"Well..." Wang Xiulan pondered for a moment, "After the creation of the world, the world was not peaceful. Diseases and disasters were prevalent in the world. Demons crawled out from the depths of hell, intending to subvert the rule of God... But fortunately, the God of Creation had already

As expected, he quickly gathered his troops and beat the hell out of the demon clan. Now, only a small part of the southwest still has traces of demon life."

Ah Chen was obviously very interested in these stories. He lay down on the bed and looked at grandma with his big round eyes, "Then will the demons come out now?"

"Silly boy, of course not. And even if they start a war again, the God of Creation will protect us."

"Because the battle was so fierce that even the sky was about to collapse. Therefore, the God of Creation built thirteen pillars in various places to support the sky and prevent it from falling..." Maybe I was too tired from playing today, and I haven't finished yet.

When Wang Xiulan finished speaking, she heard that Ah Chen's breathing had gradually stabilized, and he must have fallen asleep. She leaned over and kissed his forehead gently, turned off the light and door and walked out gently. But at this moment
Chapter completed!
