"What's your name?"
Three days later, Chu Rui was finally able to get up. However, he was still very weak. Not to mention anything else, even if he got out of bed and walked a few steps, he would still be out of breath. He was even worse than the legendary delicate beauty Lin Daiyu.
"I don't have a name. Father calls me Goudan 'er!"
The peasant boy touched the back of his head and gave Chu Rui a simple and honest smile.
"Oh, Goudan 'er, where's your father? It's been so many days, why haven't I seen him? "
Chu Rui originally wanted to say your father, but he guessed that this child wouldn't understand what it meant, so he just went with the flow and used plain words. For such poor children, they didn't understand the so-called etiquette at all.
"Father, father was taken away by the soldiers!"
It was fine if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, the child immediately began to cry. Chu Rui asked carefully and found out that his father was a hunter in this village. He was very good at hunting. Relying on his own ability, he hunted prey in the village in exchange for food and daily necessities. Although it was poor, it could be considered to be passable. However, not long ago, the Cang Lan Empire's demons were causing trouble, and it was said that those legendary demon soldiers also appeared. In order to resist, the empire, which had suffered heavy casualties, had no choice but to forcibly capture able-bodied men and banish them. His father was captured at that time.
Cang Lan Empire!
Chu Rui's heart was unsettled for a long time!
Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew very well that the place he was in was no longer the same place. No wonder he always felt that there was something wrong with the heaven and earth origin energy. According to the density of the heaven and earth origin energy, this should not be a high level plane. It was still the human world, but it was not the Tianyun Continent, but one of the many worlds of the human world.
Demon attack, demon soldiers appear! If it was not unexpected, it should be the work of the Heavenly Demon. Although there was only one Heavenly Demon World, there was the True Devil World and the Fake Devil World that Chu Rui had been to. These two levels of the Devil World, like the human world, had many planes. The Heavenly Fate Continent was special because it was where Pangu was born. Later, the rulers of the world, such as Fuxi, were all born here. Therefore, the battles were also the most intense. However, it was the same for the other realms.
The Tomb of the Gods was the largest prison in the Six Realms, and there was only one of its kind. Chu Rui was currently in the Cloudmist Continent, so it was possible that some of the most powerful people in the Six Realms were imprisoned here.
War was often accompanied by all kinds of negative effects!
Hunger, crime, slaughter …
Under the human instinct to pursue life, the so-called morality and ethics were all bullshit. Chu Rui knew that this youth, who was already extremely poor, had an even greater shortage of food. In the past few days, most of the food given to him was his own rations, and it wasn't enough to fill his stomach. The food was originally not enough to fill his stomach, but it was given to him. This meant that he was going to starve. Yesterday, he had smelled the scent of blood and seen the wound on the youth's hand. He must have been injured while hunting. The porridge, which was thicker than usual, must have been obtained from the prey he hunted.
"Goudan 'er, do you have any dreams?"
Chu Rui suddenly asked.
"Dreams?"
Goudan 'er's simple and honest expression became somewhat perplexed.
"Yes, that is to say, do you have anything you want?"
Chu Rui smiled faintly, and deepened the meaning of his words.
"Yes!" Goudan 'er understood and grinned, revealing his two tiger teeth. He scratched his head and a faint blush appeared on his face. However, he still bravely said what he wanted to say. "I want to be the strongest hunter in the village like father. I also want to be able to eat rice and be full for every meal … Finally, I want to marry the daughter of the village chief!"
"Hahahaha …"
Chu Rui suddenly laughed out loud. He laughed so hard that he couldn't stop coughing. However, he wasn't laughing at him, because his expression was full of joy.
"…"
The simple and honest Goudan 'er's face flushed red. It was unknown whether it was because he felt embarrassed to say such a dream, especially the last one, or because Chu Rui was laughing at him.
"Goudan 'er, do you want to leave this place and see the outside world?"
After a long while, Chu Rui stopped. After a moment of silence, he calmed down and asked.
Goudan 'er was stunned!
"The outside world is very exciting, but it is also very dangerous. In comparison, although you are living a poor life, you are standing aloof from worldly affairs. Other than having enough to eat and wear, you don't have any other worries. Although this kind of ordinary life is somewhat difficult, it is very leisurely. … What kind of life do you want? "
Chu Rui continued to ask. He was only a human, not a god. He didn't have any reason or right to decide a person's fate or help a person make a choice. Especially, this person was his benefactor. If you are not a fish, how can you know the happiness of a fish? Some people liked to force what they liked onto others. Perhaps their hearts were good and their intentions were good, but what they liked didn't mean that everyone liked it. Forcing it onto others was just forcing them. Chu Rui wasn't someone who didn't know how to repay kindness. On the contrary, he knew how to repay kindness better than anyone else. However, there were many ways to repay kindness. He wouldn't blindly repay kindness. He would respect Goudan 'er's pure and simple decision.
Goudan 'er had three wishes. First, to become the strongest hunter in the village. That was because his father was the strongest hunter in the village. Young people would always choose their father as their number one idol. This was human nature. Moreover, after losing his mother's love, his father was the only one. Every day, he would hunt with his father, who was a hunter. Naturally, when his father hunted, he, who was still a child, would idolize him.
Secondly, he ate rice every day, the kind that could fill his stomach. This had something to do with his poor life. It was normal for a Hunter to live a hard life with a child. Big bowls of rice could only be eaten during festive occasions. Usually, he would only eat porridge or cornbread to satisfy his hunger. Therefore, the most ordinary rice in the eyes of ordinary people was the most delicious food for him.
Third, to marry the village chief's daughter. This era wasn't the era of science and technology. Not to mention that there were many people in their thirties and forties who were single, even celibates who didn't marry for their entire lives. It was common for them to get married and have children in their teens. Why was there such a situation? First, it was because they were relatively backward in various aspects and there were frequent wars, resulting in too many deaths. Therefore, there was an urgent need for new blood. Second, it was because of the influence of thinking. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial, and having no descendants is the worst.
