Chapter 448: Strange Arrival 21
Seeing the long-lost food, which was a soft little bread, the little girl couldn't help but let go of her hand, ran to pick it up and hugged it tightly in her arms.
She was so hungry. They had been hiding here for so long and had eaten everything they could. She had been hungry for two whole days. Although the food was very little, it was enough to save their lives for another two days.
But the boy was still alert. He ran over and tried to snatch the bread from the girl's arms. "You can't eat things given by strangers. What if it's poisonous?"
The little girl hesitated, but she still couldn't let go. She even thought that poisoning herself to death was better than starving to death here.
Watching the two children fighting feebly for the food, He Yunjing turned to Chu Li and got more food. "I'm an adult. If I really want to bully you, I don't have to poison you. Just eat it."
The two children turned their heads and saw the pile of food that He Yunjing had put down. The little girl almost immediately ran over and picked up what she could hold, then quickly ran to the boy's side.
"Brother is hungry, let's eat together."
The little girl said with little strength, and tried to tear the bag open several times, but failed. She was so anxious that she bit the bag directly, and finally opened it with both hands. She couldn't wait to stuff it into her mouth.
The little boy didn't want to, but he was also very hungry. He saw the little girl eating with big mouthfuls and even choked.
He quickly opened a bottle of milk, put a straw in it and handed it to the little girl. He also grabbed a piece of bread, tore a piece of it, put it in his mouth and chewed it hard.
The two children had been hungry for too long and could not be full with just a little food. He Yunjing did not continue to pay attention to them and took Chu Li by the hand to observe them in the stone temple.
This stone temple is not big, just the size of a normal farmhouse. It is more like a stone house than a stone temple, and its shape is a bit like a cemetery.
He Yunjing took a deep breath when he realized this and looked at the stone statue again. However, because it was so long ago, the statue could no longer be seen clearly and it still had no head.
He Yunjing couldn't be sure for a moment, so he could only wait until the two children had eaten their fill and rested enough before asking, "Who is this stone temple dedicated to?"
The little girl huddled in the boy's arms and shook her head. She was only five years old, very young and didn't know anything at all.
The boy was a little older, about eight years old, but too thin.
Facing He Yunjing's question, the boy thought for a moment and said, "If you want to exchange more food with us, I will tell you."
"I don't have much food on me, but I can take you to a safe place where people will take care of you and won't let you starve."
"There is no place safer than the General Temple." The boy hugged the little girl tightly in his arms. It had been almost two months, and all the food they brought had been eaten up, with nothing left.
They needed food to sustain their lives. It’s not that they didn’t think about going outside, but those who went out never came back because they were all eaten by the creatures outside.
The little boy didn't know how long they could live, but they couldn't go out, because they would die immediately if they went out. They were very scared and didn't dare to take a step out.
He Yunjing was helpless, and felt that the little boy was very stubborn. He squatted down and spoke to him calmly, "It's safe to stay here. The monsters outside can't get in, but you can't go out either. You will starve to death sooner or later. There are no living people around here. No one will find you, let alone give you food.
Do you want the peace of mind you need right now, or do you want to live with more humans and your sister? You are the older brother, so you should understand. "
The little boy lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. They had been waiting here for a long time, and none of the people who went out had come back. Seeing that the person in front of him was a complete stranger, he couldn't take the risk with his sister.
He Yunjing took out a lot of food and put it on the ground. "I'll give you the food first. Tell me who this temple is worshipping."
The little boy was so excited that he pushed all the food into his arms, and only answered He Yunjing's question after he was sure that he could eat it for many days.
"This is the General's Temple. It is a stone temple that our village has guarded for generations. It is also the general's tomb. Grandpa said that the general's head is buried under the temple. If you encounter any danger in the mountains, you can go into the temple and you will be safe as long as you wait until dawn."
The little boy spoke with great pride. Everyone in their village firmly believed in this and believed that they had all been protected by the General's Temple.
He Yunjing understood when he heard the word "head". He turned around and looked at Chu Li who was standing next to the stone temple, fearing that the head buried underground was Chu Li.
He Yunjing exhaled and continued to ask the little boy, "Do you know why the general's head is here?"
The boy shook his head and nodded, "Grandpa said that many, many years ago, our place was the border of two countries and there were frequent wars. The general was the general who guarded the border, but for some reason, the general was beheaded and buried under the head.
The ancestors of the village built a stone temple here to shelter the general from wind and rain. People from all over the village came to worship, hoping that the general would continue to protect our village.
Great Grandpa also said that since the stone temple was built, no matter how much war there was outside, our village would be fine, and the wild animals in the mountains would not harm people. Our village and the General Temple were able to be preserved from generation to generation, so the General Temple is the safest. "
Ancient people all believed in these things, and He Yunjing didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Chu Li's soul was sealed, and the stone temple was indeed a bit strange, sheltering these people.
He Yunjing asked him, "What about the other people in your village?"
The little boy became sad. "So many people died. We ran here desperately. It's safe here, but there's nothing to eat."
The little boy looked at his sister in his arms and tears fell down. "They couldn't stand it anymore, so they ran away and never came back."
"Then how did you and your sister manage to hold on until now?"
"Yes, General. We used to have food every day when we woke up, such as fruits, sweet potatoes and vegetable leaves. But it's getting less and less. My sister and I haven't eaten for two days."
The boy was very discouraged. He originally wanted to go out to find food if he ran out of food, but He Yunjing and the others suddenly appeared here with a lot of food.
He Yunjing did not continue to ask, but stood up and walked to Chu Li and asked in a low voice, "Can you feel the breath of the soul?"
Chu Li shook his head, "Very weak, I'm not sure."
"Then dig out the head first."
Chu Li looked at the two children and asked, "Dig in front of them?"
"What else? Your head can't be taken away yet?"
Chu Li was just worried, but after He Yunjing said for sure that he would take the two children back, he still took out the hoe and gave it to He Yunjing.
He Yunjing got the hoe and started working immediately. He had already determined the location from the system, so he dug into the ground. However, the statue was a bit deep, so it would probably take a long time to dig.
But He Yunjing's action instantly aroused the boy's anger, and he rushed over like a little bull, "Bad guy! Don't touch the general's temple!"
He Yunjing picked him up with one hand, "Your general's soul is almost gone because of you and your sister. If you don't dig out your head, not only will you starve to death here, but the general's soul will also disappear. Do you want to watch him die of death?"
