The light dots came from the large wooden box, which was the desolate bones!
This sudden turn of events made Yi Yun break out into a cold sweat.
The desolate bones emitted light dots that flew towards him and were absorbed by him. How could Lian Chengyu not pursue this phenomenon?
Seeing the light dots increasing in number and becoming more and more obvious, he was sure to be discovered!
Once they pursued the matter, his life would be forfeit!
"Yun-er, what's wrong with you? Why is your forehead sweating?"
"Sis Xiaorou, you …" Yi Yun saw many light dots flying in front of him, but Jiang Xiaorou did not notice them. "Sis Xiaorou, did you not see anything?"
Yi Yun asked guiltily. He noticed that not only Jiang Xiaorou, but the surrounding people were also ignoring the light dots.
"See what? Yun-er, are you sick? "
Jiang Xiaorou touched Yi Yun's forehead with concern. Yi Yun's body was weak, and he had just survived yesterday. If he were to fall sick again, it would be fatal.
"Uh …"
Yi Yun was stunned for a moment before he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was the only one who could see the light dots?
Could it be that because he was the owner of the Purple Crystal, he could see the Purple Crystal's movement, while others could not?
He secretly glanced at Lian Chengyu, who was on stage, and realized that Lian Chengyu still had a calm smile on his face. Only when he occasionally glanced at the desolate bones in the wooden box would his eyes reveal an undetectable fanaticism!
"This kid didn't notice the light dots either …"
Yi Yun was relieved. If Lian Chengyu did not see it, then no one else could see it except for him.
Yi Yun began to feel that the Purple Crystal was an incredible treasure!
At this moment, Yi Yun saw Lian Chengyu look at him with a meaningful smile on his face.
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Jiang Xiaorou.
"The food is for you. Take it well. Don't starve yourself. If you don't have enough, come find me."
Lian Chengyu's voice was very soft. He was speaking to Jiang Xiaorou. Although his tone was amiable, his expression and tone revealed a fact — he was a superior. He could give and take back everything.
Jiang Xiaorou did not speak, but Lian Chengyu did not mind. He admired Jiang Xiaorou's stubbornness during the distribution of rations, but it did not mean that he liked Jiang Xiaorou to maintain her stubborn character in front of him. He wanted to wear down Jiang Xiaorou's edges bit by bit until she was as obedient as a kitten in his arms.
What he wanted was an obedient maidservant, not a young lady who needed to be coaxed.
Especially now, Jiang Xiaorou had a younger brother by her side. It could be said that he was her spiritual sustenance. A person with spiritual sustenance would naturally be stronger. This was not something Lian Chengyu wanted to see. Besides, Jiang Xiaorou was adopted by Yi Yun's mother, so they did not share the same parents. They were not biological siblings, but they ate and lived together. Lian Chengyu did not want to see such a thing happen.
Besides, Yi Yun had deliberately incited the people, nearly causing chaos. This made Lian Chengyu take it to heart. For a twelve-year-old child to be so scheming, what would he become when he grew up?
What Lian Chengyu wanted was a group of obedient people, a stepping stone for him. He did not want a scheming person like Yi Yun, who was difficult to control.
Seeing the refinement of the desolate bones was a huge matter for Lian Chengyu. In order to do this, Lian Chengyu was willing to pay any price.
He absolutely did not want any unstable factors to exist because Lian Chengyu was about to go into reclusive training. Besides, there was a problem with the desolate bones. The refinement of the desolate bones could lead to death!
With a lack of food and people dying, it was easy to incite the anger of the people. If the people rioted while he was in reclusive training, destroying the cauldron used to refine the desolate bones and spoiling his plans, then it would be useless even if he cut the people who caused the riots into pieces.
And from Lian Chengyu's point of view, Yi Yun had a grudge against him. Lian Chengyu could not see the fear and respect a poor person should have.
Yi Yun already had a record of inciting riots. When he went into reclusion, if he were to have thoughts of revenge due to his hatred, then he could easily incite the people to riot due to the continuous famine and deaths. Then, he could become the spark that would cause a disaster.
Thinking of this, Lian Chengyu smiled and patted Yi Yun's shoulder lightly once again.
Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, Lian Chengyu's hand was already on his shoulder.
F * * k!
Yi Yun wished he could chop off Lian Chengyu's hand. This kid was too sinister. He felt like he was a poisonous snake!
Lian Chengyu said lightly, "What are you nervous about? Are you afraid of me? It's not easy living with your sister. Take good care of your sister. "
Saying that, Lian Chengyu retracted his hand. But that faint numbness remained in Yi Yun's body.
With both of his shoulders being patted by Lian Chengyu, Yi Yun could only watch helplessly. He could not dodge.
"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me." Lian Chengyu was always smiling when he spoke to Jiang Xiaorou. Yi Yun frowned. Lian Chengyu seemed to be interested in his sister.
Yes, it was no wonder he gave him so much food. If he did not covet Jiang Xiaorou, why would he give him such precious food?
The words "if you have any difficulties, you can come to me" was a clear indication of his intentions. If Jiang Xiaorou went to his house, who knew what would happen.
With a wave of Lian Chengyu's hand, a few men from the warrior preparation camp sealed the large wooden box of desolate bones.
At the moment the wooden box was sealed, Yi Yun felt the connection between the Purple Crystal and the desolate bones sever. The light dots that were flying in the air also disappeared.
"This is …" Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. He looked thoughtfully at the desolate bones being carried away by the members of the warrior preparation camp.
…
"Yun-er, why do you look so troubled?"
On the way back, Jiang Xiaorou noticed Yi Yun's absent-minded expression and asked him.
How could he not be troubled? Lian Chengyu was like a venomous snake. He had even patted his shoulders twice. Who knew what he was up to. Yi Yun did not want to make Jiang Xiaorou worry, but he was afraid that Jiang Xiaorou would not be able to see Lian Chengyu's true colors due to her young age.
But Yi Yun did not expect Jiang Xiaorou to suddenly say, "Yun-er, you have to be careful of that Lian Chengyu. You have to avoid him."
Jiang Xiaorou's words stunned Yi Yun. He did not expect Jiang Xiaorou to have such keen intuition.
In fact, Lian Chengyu's actions today did not seem to be inappropriate on the surface. He was just like a respectable tribal leader who cared about his people and was approachable.
The reason why Yi Yun could sense Lian Chengyu's abnormality was because Yi Yun had seen many politicians perform on Earth. Be it in history or in the news of various countries, there were many people like Lian Chengyu. So when Yi Yun heard Lian Chengyu's words, he found it hypocritical and disgusting. This level of knowledge was not something those poor people who suffered all their lives just to survive could compare with.
Furthermore, Lian Chengyu had patted Yi Yun's shoulders twice. How could Yi Yun not know of Lian Chengyu's hostility?
But Jiang Xiaorou could sense it too, which made Yi Yun curious.
"Just stay away from him," Jiang Xiaorou said firmly.
Jiang Xiaorou said with certainty. Yi Yun suddenly felt that he did not understand this elder sister at all.
Whether it was her knowledge of desolate bones and desolate beasts, or her intuition, including her outstanding looks, it made Jiang Xiaorou stand out in the poor Lian tribal clan …
Yi Yun had expected that the dinner would be coarse grain porridge with wild vegetables.
In this world, people only ate two meals. A typical person would wake up at five in the morning to work. At around nine, they would eat breakfast. Of course, breakfast was what Yi Yun called it. In this world, it was called "morning food". After that, dinner was eaten at four in the afternoon.
Yi Yun knew that in ancient China, people ate two meals a day. It was the same in this strange world. In an environment with limited resources, eating two meals a day was the most scientific and easiest way to survive.
During the meal, Jiang Xiaorou still felt a little guilty because in the end, she still couldn't let her brother eat meat.
Yi Yun did not have the mind to care about this at this moment. He kept thinking about Lian Chengyu's two pats on his shoulder. Everything was just his speculation and suspicions. He could not predict if anything had happened or how serious the matter was.
Yi Yun had just eaten a bowl of coarse grain porridge and was about to eat a few mouthfuls of wild vegetables when he suddenly felt his arm go numb. The chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.
"Yun-er, you …"
Yi Yun grunted. He could no longer move his left hand. Both his arms were in excruciating pain, as if they had been ripped apart!
"Yun-er!"
Jiang Xiaorou's expression changed. She did not know what had happened to Yi Yun. She hurriedly helped Yi Yun onto the bed.
Damn it!
Yi Yun gritted his teeth in pain. Without a doubt, this was Lian Chengyu's doing. His guess was right!
He did not know what method Lian Chengyu had used, but the absolute difference in strength made it impossible for Yi Yun to avoid Lian Chengyu's hostility even if he guessed it.
This was the law of the jungle where the strong decided the fate of the weak.
"Yun-er, how are you? Is it the aftereffect of falling down while picking herbs? "
"I …" When Yi Yun opened his mouth to speak, he realized that even his tongue was stiff. His nerves were gradually becoming numb. His perception of his body was becoming weaker.
Yi Yun gradually realized that the moment he lost consciousness would be the moment of his death!
This Lian Chengyu wanted his life!?
Yi Yun was shocked and angry. If he did not guess wrongly, Lian Chengyu's two pats on him had injected some sort of "Qi" or "Zhen Yuan" energy into his body, secretly destroying his meridians!
If it was a normal twelve-year-old child, it would be impossible to think of this. Not to mention others, even Yi Yun himself would think it was a relapse of his old injuries.
After his death, other than Jiang Xiaorou, no one would be sad. Many people would even think that it was his fate. How could a person who was supposed to die come back to life?
Killing him without anyone knowing would not only avenge him for inciting the people, it would also earn him a good reputation for being close to the people.
Jiang Xiaorou would be devastated and would encounter difficulties in her life. When that happened, she might really go to Lian Chengyu. It would be too easy for Lian Chengyu to use soft tactics to deal with a little girl!
Killing him to get Jiang Xiaorou was such a vicious method!
Yi Yun had a deeper understanding of this world.
This was not a society ruled by law on Earth. Here, barbarism, primitive strength determined everything. This was like a post-apocalyptic novel world. Killing here was nothing!
