Chapter 233: The last trace of humanity
Maruko is a sensible child. After hearing his brother telling the story of Yi Zi Yu Shi, he suddenly understood why Yaya suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Maruko's body was still trembling, and gently pushed the unconscious young man, saying, "You should eat Xiao Maruko, just treat Xiao Maruko as Xiao Maruko and return your food, but can you let my brother go?"
"He is not your brother. Your brother has been eaten by a wolf. I saw it with my own eyes!" Chang San, who had not spoken, spoke.
Maruko, who was originally very scared, suddenly yelled at Chang San like crazy: "You are talking nonsense, you lied to me, this is my brother, that's my brother..."
Chang San was still about to say something, but someone could not wait and shouted: "Why do you still have so much nonsense? Do you want to starve to death? Take action!"
For a moment, the refugees who had already had red eyes seemed to be summoned, burst out with speed that their thin bodies should not have, and rushed towards Maruko. The spikes on the wooden stick were like bloodthirsty blades that were inserted into Maruko and the unconscious young man.
At that moment, Maruko pounced on the young man's body, trying to block the attacks for the young man in a coma. This was a natural reaction in the body in desperation, without any hesitation or thinking.
Maruko closed his eyes tightly, waiting for death to attack, but at that moment, the young man who had been unconscious suddenly opened his glasses, reached out and grabbed Maruko's little arm, turned over, held Maruko in his arms and rolled onto the ground, avoiding the attacks of the wooden thorns.
"elder brother!"
Maruko widened her glasses and looked full of surprise.
My brother can always give me an inexplicable sense of security. No matter when and where, as long as my brother is there, it is still safe to be in the tiger's den.
The young man's eyes were still extremely cold, but when he looked down at Maruko in his arms, there was a little more gentleness, and it was only a moment.
Putting Xiaomao behind her, the young man quickly stood up and turned his head to look at the group of refugees, as plain as water.
The young man suddenly stood up and caught the group of refugees off guard. He was stunned for a moment and looked at the young man a little at a loss.
An older refugee spoke first: "Little brother, you are not Xiao Maruko's brother. Do you want to eat alone when you do this now?"
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked back at Maruko, and said calmly: "Under the sorrow of the times, there is indeed no need for human nature... It's just a pity..."
"What a pity?"
"pity……"
The young man spoke to his mouth, but suddenly took action, took a quick step forward, grabbed a wooden thorn aimed at him, and thrust it to the side with lightning speed, directly into the throat of another refugee, blood was fully drawn!
A living person instantly loses the breath of life.
No one could react to this sudden scene, but the young man did not pause at all. He took the wooden thorn that fell when the corpse fell, stabbed forward with force, and once again inserted it into the throat of a refugee, and one blow was fatal!
"Are there anyone else tired of living?"
The young man held the wooden thorns in each hand and inserted them into the sand. In front of him were two corpses that were still squirting blood.
Everyone was frightened, retreated inertia, and then panicked.
Refugees are refugees after all, just a pile of sand. Even their companions don’t care about their bodies and run away in panic, as if frightened flocks of birds were running towards the dark night.

When disasters come and the times become sad, the ugliness of human nature will be visible at a glance. When famine occurs, hunger will drive people to do all kinds of things without limits. When changing children and eating can no longer satisfy their survival, human beings will become the most inhuman animals in the world.
They will regard their kind as prey, and their hearts will be like hunters in peace and prosperity. In their eyes, they will slowly lose all their moral bottom line thinking, and there is only how to kill the kind and let themselves survive.
In the 13th year of Dingwu in the Chen State, a great disaster came to heaven, without rain for several months, a great famine came to life, countless refugees rebelled openly, and the government and the country were in chaos, and the court had no time to take care of the disaster, which led to the chaos in the Chen State, and countless people were displaced and fled to the south.
After escaping from thousands of miles away, human nature has long been erased by hunger. The fact that changing children to eat is no longer just a story from the teacher’s mouth, but bandits in the northwest are full of troubles.
On this road to fleeing famine, killing people and setting fires for a bit of food is common. But it is difficult to see a complete corpse in the wild. After all, human flesh is also flesh. Along the way, all moral bottom lines are constantly being pulled down, and countless people die inexplicably.

"elder brother!"
A soft call awakened Wang Anyi from his meditation. He looked down and saw that it was Maruko who was looking at him timidly.
Wang Anyi had almost forgotten the function of smile, but when she met the little look, she had an inexplicable smile, slowly squatted down, and gently combed Xiaomao's already messy hair.
"From now, I will be your brother."
A crystal tears passed by Wang Anyi's eyes.
He didn't know how he survived, nor did he know why his physical fitness had reached an unprecedented good.
He remembered that he took his sister to escape from the famine.
But in the end, my sister killed him for the sake of so-called love!
He found it a bit ridiculous. Is there still love in such a disaster?
Can the emotions a stranger who has only known him for a few months have become more important than the family affection that has depended on each other for more than ten years?
My sister, whom I raised by sneaking abduct since childhood, was unable to compare with a child who had admitted his mistakes and fled to famine all the way. He ate tree bark by himself, but he couldn't even mess with the food he had saved for his sister.
However, he never expected that his own sister would eventually join forces with outsiders to kill him and throw himself into the wilderness.
What a failure!
…………
Wang Anyi's smile made Maruko no longer afraid. He reached out and put his hands around Li Anyi's neck and pressed them tightly together.
"Brother is he originally?" Muttered Maruko.
Wang Anyi frowned and slowly let go.
The bright moon gradually began to dissipate, and the stars became more and more faint. In the early morning, the air became a little wet, and the little Maruko curled up in his arms was already asleep. However, even though he was asleep, his little hands still held the corner of Wang Anyi's clothes tightly. In his dreams, he was worried that his brother would disappear after he woke up.
Wang Anyi gently stroked Xiao Maruko's thin cheeks, feeling a little distressed.
He knew very well that he was not actually Maruko's brother. Maruko's real brother should have been buried in the wolf's mouth. He might be somewhat similar to Maruko's brother, or Maruko was still young, so he found a support after missing him.
However, the tenderness between life and death was given by Maruko. During the resurrection and chaos, the person who awakened himself was Maruko.
This is the fate of heaven.
"It's also a good thing to have such a tear in this sad era!"
Wang Anyi smiled and muttered, slowly reached out and took out the wooden thorns inserted in the sand and held them in his hand, slowly closing his eyes.
What he didn't know was,
Not far away,
In fact, there were just a few people paying attention to him.
These people were the three great scholars including Liu Yi who rushed over.
Several people looked at each other and smiled.
