"Dad said, only by following you, grandpa, will I not be eaten by those people, and will I be able to find my sister …" the little boy raised his head and looked at Chu Yunsheng with red eyes.
The little boy's face was red because of the cold weather, his pair of red and swollen hands that were hidden in his dirty sleeves were already frozen stiff. Only a few of his fingers could move. The sneakers on his feet, maybe it was because he was trying to keep up with Chu Yunsheng, or maybe it was because it was already worn out, there was a big hole on the sole and the top of the shoe on his right foot.
The hole was filled with mud and dirty snow, his little feet were exposed in the cold air. Probably because Chu Yunsheng was looking at him, the little boy was a little nervous, his exposed toes shrunk a little unnaturally.
"Even if you find your sister, it's …" Chu Yunsheng wanted to say that it was not necessarily useful. His sister was not the most powerful person in the castle of Snowstorm. Those female knights only liked his sister, not him. They would never raise a useless person. But when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say it out loud. Finding his sister was probably the only hope the little boy had in this world.
"Eat something, don't let others see you." He took out a small portion of cooked insect meat that he had prepared in the tomb from his pocket and put it in the little boy's dirty sleeve. Then he winked at the little boy and signaled the little boy to give him a look.
The little boy was extremely hungry, when did he ever eat meat that was edible? It was not an exaggeration to say that he wolfed down the meat. Fortunately, he still had some "risk" awareness, so he hid behind Chu Yunsheng to eat.
A small piece of meat was quickly eaten by the little boy. Then he skillfully scooped up the snow on the ground and licked it with the tip of his tongue until it melted into ice water …
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng still hadn't figured out a way to sneak into the castle of Snowstorm. The castle was heavily guarded, and all the useless people were expelled from the castle, which was different from what he expected.
The only way to sneak into the castle was to fly at night, but the risk was too high. If there were only those Skywalkers living in the castle, it would be fine, but the problem was that those non-humans also had flying machines.
Chu Yunsheng didn't even know how many of them there were in the castle. Usually, he could handle one, but if there were three or five of them, it would be very risky.
…
"Young man, can I ask you something?" Chu Yunsheng didn't need to pretend to be old. His voice had already changed. He just needed to control the speed of his speech to show the speed that an old man should have.
"Are you new here? What was there to inquire about? Just by looking at the unlucky faces of the two of you, I know what you want to know! First, do you have anything to eat or use? " The young man with a broken arm glanced at Chu Yunsheng and the little boy with his virtual eyes and said with a sigh.
Just when Chu Yunsheng was thinking about which one was more appropriate, the young man with the broken arm closed his eyes and shushed him, "Okay, okay, stop pretending, you are just a poor person, just say it! Today, I'll show you two a way out of kindness. As long as the sky isn't dark, everything can be discussed. But once the sky turns dark, your lives will be in danger! "
The young man deliberately dragged out his words.
"There are people eating humans here?" Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows. This place was under the castle of Snowstorm. Based on what happened to the little boy's sister, the castle of Snowstorm did not support this kind of animal behavior.
"It's dark, anything is possible! Eating, that's a light punishment. Fuck, what's the point of talking to an old man like you! Let me put it this way, if you want to live, there are only two ways, and it depends on your luck, "the young man said contemptuously.
"Which two?" Chu Yunsheng put on a humble attitude.
"This is the first and the best way out. Do you see the entrance over there? Don't you have a grandson? If he is not 12 years old, you can carry him there! Let the women in the castle test their potential, I don't know anything about it, anyway, it's just those things.
If he passes, then congratulations to you two, don't forget that it was me who showed you the way!
Once your grandson enters the castle, although he doesn't have a lot of food, at least he will be a low-level citizen. I will send you some food from time to time, at least you won't starve to death!
However, don't be too optimistic. Only one out of ten people are qualified. You might not even meet one in a day. Just take it as trying your luck. "The one-armed young man continued to speak in a condescending tone," That's right.
Look at the old, sick, and disabled people outside the city. They are divided into two groups. The first group are those who have connections in the city. Regardless of whether their connections are strong or weak, if they have connections, they won't starve to death in a short period of time. The other group are the "white people". They have no connections and no one will even look at them if they die. These people are the most numerous.
But no matter what, these two groups of people need to find someone to rely on. Without someone to rely on, they won't be able to survive one night. What do you think they relied on to survive until now? It's meat … "the young man poked the little boy's head and said in a creepy tone.
The little boy was scared by him and quickly hid to the side.
Chu Yunsheng only listened to the first way. The second way was useless to him. If it really didn't work, he could take the risk to break into the castle at night. He didn't have much time, so how could he waste it waiting for an opportunity?
If the little boy could pass the test, it would be the best. Then he would find a way to send him in. If he was really not allowed to go in, then he could take the risk to break into the castle at night. If he was discovered, he would have an excuse to see his grandson. At least he wouldn't be forced to the edge of the cliff.
"Thank you, I will take the child to try first." Chu Yunsheng glanced at the little boy and said.
"Try it, you won't give up if you don't try!" the young man said in a tone as if he was used to it.
…
After leaving the gathering place of those refugees, Chu Yunsheng said to the little boy straightforwardly, "I won't lie to you. If you go into the castle, it will not only help you find your sister, but it will also help me. Moreover, you and I have no other choice."
"Grandpa, I will listen to you, I will go and check them." The little boy volunteered.
"What is your name?" Chu Yunsheng asked.
"Yuan Qiyang, seven years old." The little boy said sensibly.
"Qiyang, Qiyang, looking forward to the sun …" Chu Yunsheng said slowly as he walked.
The entrance was not far from the entrance. One old man and one young man soon arrived at the entrance. In front of them, there were several adults with children waiting in line to be tested.
"How many times have I told you, a child can only be tested once. Don't come again! It will be the same if you try again! "A middle-aged woman in a white uniform reprimanded with a cold face.
"Please, I beg you, I will kneel down in front of you. Please give us another chance. Let's try again." A skinny woman, who was holding a child, begged.
"If you don't go, I will call the city guards!" The woman in the white uniform slammed the table and shouted loudly. The mother and daughter were so scared that they immediately fell to the ground.
Just at this moment, three female riders in white robes galloped out of the city. When they arrived in front of the woman in the white uniform, they immediately stopped their horses and ordered the woman in the white uniform, "the commander has ordered us to bring all the equipment into the inner city!"
Seeing them coming out, the woman in the white uniform had already put on a respectful look. Hearing this, she hurriedly ordered the other subordinates to pack up the equipment, and then asked with a thick face, "Sister Shi, what happened in the inner city?"
The woman in the white uniform seemed to be familiar with the woman in the white uniform, so she hesitated for a second and said in a low voice, "today, we brought back a little girl. She is very talented, even the ice messenger was alerted.
When the woman in the white uniform heard the word 'ice messenger', her legs suddenly started to tremble. So the people who were packing up the equipment became even more anxious.
With Chu Yunsheng's eyesight, although he was still far away, he could still see those instruments clearly. They were definitely not the instruments that humans in the age of light should have. The strangeness of those instruments was similar to the one that the cloaked man had made in Jin Ling city. Most likely, they were not human-like.
The people from the castle of Snowstorm dragged the equipment and quickly left. Chu Yunsheng cursed himself for being unlucky that he had to leave at this time.
Chu Yunsheng knew that he would not be able to enter the castle tonight, so he needed to find a place to stay for the time being. He would ask Yuan Qiyang to check the equipment tomorrow.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng came back with Yuan Qiyang, the young man with one arm seemed to have expected this. He had a sarcastic smile on his face, but he did not expect that Chu Yunsheng's first sentence would scare him half to death!
"I know a few Skywalkers inside, they used to be my students. I saw them from afar just now, with this kind of relationship, do you think I can find someone to rely on?" Chu Yunsheng pretended to be excited and said.
"You? Are you sure they are Skywalkers? "the young man suddenly jumped up from the ground and said with his mouth wide open.
"I can't be wrong, they were originally together, but they got separated!" Chu Yunsheng said with certainty.
"Grandpa, please wait here, I will call brother Kui, this is a big deal! Why didn't you tell me earlier? "the young man was getting more and more respectful. His face was full of smiles.
The young man with one arm quickly left. The little boy blinked his eyes and said, "grandpa, do you really know Skywalkers?"
"Yes." Chu Yunsheng did not know if it was a good time to contact Edgar, so he was thinking about the pros and cons.
The little boy immediately knelt down in front of Chu Yunsheng and said firmly, "grandpa, can you ask the Skywalkers you know to teach me martial arts? When I master it, I want to kill insects and monsters, I want to avenge my parents … "
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second. Just when he was about to tell him that martial arts needed to be awakened by oneself, he suddenly heard a loud voice, "Where are they? Where are they? If you dare to lie to me, I will break your other arm! "
"Brother Kui, when did I dare to lie to you? Look, it's those two, one old and one young, I thought they were strange! "the young man with one arm boasted shamelessly.
