The diagnosis was made after Ning Zhiyuan came back. Li Ya fell into a strange silence after hearing Sanliu's words. She put her hands on her stomach and looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.Xiyu didn't want to disturb him, so he took the child to the wooden table and had breakfast. Chen Ting also seemed to have something on his mind, and the meal was unusually quiet.After dinner, Chen Ting went out alone with a basin to wash the dishes. Xiyu was afraid that the two children would laugh and make noise, so he led them to the hut to learn how to write.

The wind is not so strong today, but there is still heavy snow in the sky. The three people who have carefully reviewed the words taught to the children yesterday became sleepy after a while, sleeping on a small bed, snoring.

When Ning Zhiyuan and the others came in, they were sleeping soundly.Chen Ting closed the door of the hut, fearing that the movement outside would disturb their rest.Sanliu, Zhiyuan, and Yichen took Li Ya's pulse in turn, confirming the previous diagnosis.

"This...it's impossible." Li Ya seemed unwilling to accept this reality at all, with an expression of unwillingness to believe it.

Chen Ting and An Yichen looked at each other, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Now that Li Ya is pregnant with a child, Ning Zhiyuan's prescription needs to be considered and changed. An Yichen put forward some suggestions of his own, Ning Zhiyuan was a little worried, so he took Sanliu back to Tusu to readjust the prescription.

After the person left, An Yichen gently closed the door and walked back to the bed again.

"I think we should be able to talk now." Chen Ting said first.

Since Li Ya woke up in the morning, he had a lot of questions to ask, but Xiyu had been staying here all the time, so he had no chance.But now that he heard the news that Li Ya was pregnant, Chen Ting had to worry a little more.

"I remember when you left, you told me that with Saar's character, you would never escape in your life. But why do you appear on the road to Yanxi now? Is there something wrong with Limo?"

His last question made Li Ya's whole body tremble, and her body tensed up subconsciously.

"What happened?" Chen Ting asked.

Li Ya shook her head and said in a low voice: "I'm not sure if something happened, but the tribe is very chaotic. I heard the sound of wild beasts, and the people's cries for help. Many females and children ran away from the tribe. I came over and escaped from the back path. I saw that no one cared about me at that time, so I thought it was an opportunity. Because I missed the child so much, I subconsciously walked westward. Except for the tent I had with me, even Not much to eat."

"Beast?" An Yichen said, "Has the Limo tribe been attacked by wild beasts in winter before?"

"I don't know. Thrall never lets me leave the tent. Many times he doesn't even want me to go out of the tent. But over the years, Limo has indeed been developing very well, whether it is other tribes or the surrounding beasts, They also seem to be afraid of Limo." Li Ya also seemed to be puzzled by what happened that day.

Chen Ting nodded and said, "That's true. I have traveled through so many tribes that time, and only Limo has developed the best. And judging from the buildings and living conditions of their entire tribe, if winter always suffers It is impossible for the attack of wild beasts to grow to that extent."

"Then what's going on?" An Yichen was puzzled, frowning slightly and thinking sideways.

Suddenly, he noticed a flash of panic in Li Ya's eyes, with a bit of worry but also a bit of determination.

"You..." He looked at the other party, "Do you know what happened?"

When he asked such a question, not only Li Ya was frightened, but even Chen Ting was taken aback.

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Ting asked puzzled.

An Yichen tilted his head and guessed: "I think you seem to have your own guesses about what happened that day, right?"

Li Ya was shocked all over, and quickly lowered her head because of the eyes of the two people looking over.

"It's not a guess, it's just a vague feeling that there seems to be such a possibility." As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the hut.

Chen An and the two followed his gaze, and suddenly a light flashed in their minds.

"You mean..."

Li Ya shook her head in a panic, "I'm not sure, but I heard that sound in the tribe many years ago. It was terrifying and made people tremble all over. The females in the tribe would not be able to sleep because of that sound. But then... ..." He didn't say any more, it seemed hard to say.

Chen Ting said: "Actually, I wanted to ask you this question at the time. Are you... are you really the partner of the leader of the cannibal tribe?"

Even though the three people in the room knew the truth, they still felt shocked when they heard those three words.Li Ya hurriedly looked at An Yichen, with guarded eyes, but the other party still looked calm and calm, looking back at him lightly.

"Don't worry, I've already told him about it. If you want to help you, it's better to have him here." Chen Ting explained.

Li Ya smiled wryly and nodded, "Actually, when I told you, I had already prepared for the worst. But at that time, I had no other choice, for that child."

"You said that Bolun was the original heir of the cannibal tribe, but because of a tribe's rebellion, he had to leave his hometown with you, is that true?"

"Yes." Leah nodded.

Chen Ting said again: "To be honest, in my heart, the cannibal tribe was just a cannibalistic beast. But seeing you, I feel that my guess is not accurate. Can you tell me, What the hell is going on with the cannibal tribe?"

Li Ya was silent for a long while, her gaze was always on her flat abdomen.He didn't speak again until a long time later when the whole room was in an oppressive atmosphere.

"Actually, there was no difference between the cannibal tribe and tribes like yours many years ago. The reason why they avoided crowds and lived in the mountains was because of the responsibility passed down from generation to generation to protect the beasts in the valley."

"Divine beast?"

"The valley?"

An Yichen and Chen Ting said in unison.

"Yes." Li Ya nodded, "No one knows what is in that valley, but because the ancestors have been like this for generations, everyone can only continue like this. But until 20 years ago, a tribe suddenly fell into the valley , and never came back alive. And from time to time, there will be horrible chewing sounds from inside, as if something huge is eating. After that, more and more people mysteriously disappeared in the summer, and even the bones could not be found Arrived. For the safety of the whole tribe, the leader began to order to go out to find people from other tribes, bring them back and put them in the place where those people disappeared, to replace the lives of the tribe. Later, everyone knew the whereabouts of those who sacrificed, and they all I understand that the one in that valley is not a divine beast at all. But..." At this point, his voice suddenly choked up, and tears flowed out instantly, "Ten years ago, my partner became the leader of the tribe. He originally planned to bring The clansmen left there, and never sacrificed their lives or the lives of other tribesmen in vain. But an elder of the tribe suddenly went mad, not only killed my partner, but also killed all the people in the tribe who opposed him. Boren escaped for his life, met Sal who was hunting on the way, and was taken back to Limo. He found out about me and went to the location of the tribe to check, but when he came back, he said that the tribe had disappeared a long time ago, and that in those valleys There was nothing there, only big empty holes and some disgusting slime. I don't know what happened in the tribe, but those frightening nights, those chewing sounds, I always can't forget them. He wiped away his tears, and continued: "Saar knew Boren's identity, so he wanted to let the child live in the forest to fend for himself. But I was locked in a tent and was not allowed to have contact with my tribe."

After hearing what he said, An Yichen and Chen Ting couldn't help being a little shocked.

"You mean... the cannibals began to appear strange, but it actually only started 20 years ago?" Chen Ting said.

"Yes, everyone has been fine before, and those valleys have always been quiet." Li Ya said.

Speaking of which, both Chen Ting and An Yichen had already guessed what those "beasts" Li Ya was talking about.Through these analyzes, Bragg worms should have woken up from dormancy only 20 years ago, and then began to need a large number of humans to eat and replenish their physical strength to achieve the purpose of recovery.

but……

If Bragg bugs do wake up, why don't they leave the valley?According to Sanliu, those worms were huge, leaving the valley was no problem at all.But what is the reason that makes them unwilling to leave the ground?And after the turmoil in the cannibal tribe, why did the whole tribe migrate to the deep mountains on Yanxi's side?How did those Bragg bugs get here?

Chen Ting pursed his lips, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Perhaps it would be a little bad for me to ask, but for you and Bo Lun, I still want to confirm that the cannibal matter is really more important than you and Sal. Does no one know?"

"Of course." Li Ya nodded affirmatively, "I didn't even dare to meet him all these years because of this child, because he would harm him." He wept again when he said this.

Who can imagine that their children are like wild beasts outside the tribe, but they can only hide in the gorgeous tents to survive the pain.

"Since Bolun was a child, has he ever gone mad or wanted to hurt others?" An Yichen asked.

"No, Bolun has lived with small animals in the forest since he was a child. Although life is difficult, he never takes the initiative to approach the tribesmen." Li Ya said.

An Yichen nodded, feeling a little relieved.

"So now it seems that the situation of the cannibals is all caused by the influence of those monsters in the deep valley. As for whether the elder's madness is related to those monsters, you can't be sure."

"Yes."

Li Ya didn't know much about the events of that year. Except for Chen Ting and An Yichen's understanding of some connections between the Bragg bugs and the cannibals, they still didn't know anything about the Bragg bugs themselves.For the current situation, only by knowing those bugs more accurately can we get them to get along with the best way to eliminate them.

"I think maybe the roars of those wild beasts are the key. After leaving the forest near Limo for so long, why did that voice reappear? Maybe only people from Limo can answer us." An Yichen said.

Chen Ting thought for a while, then looked at Li Ya, "Do you know which direction Li Mo's people fled to at that time?"

"At that time, everyone was in a panic, and there was almost no fixed direction." Li Ya said.

"Then you..." Chen Ting hesitated, "Are you worried?"

When he asked such a question, Li Ya was instinctively dumbfounded.After a long while, he lowered his head at a loss, "I don't know." He stroked his abdomen with his hand, "At first, I thought I only had Bolun as a relative, and I just wanted to find him..."

But now, the child was discovered again.

Even though Sal was cruel to Boren and not kind to Leah, he still couldn't deny the fact that he took care of Leah for so many years.

Not to mention this child.

Chen Ting sighed, "I will send people from my tribe to look for it. I hope there are still survivors in Limo."

In the room, fell into silence again.Li Ya didn't say yes, but he didn't disapprove, but his frown slightly revealed his fear and worry.

Across a wooden door, Xiyu, who opened his eyes wide in astonishment, heard the three people's words from beginning to end, with an expression of disbelief all over his face.Boren, who was sleeping peacefully next to him, was well-behaved and sensible. He couldn't connect this child with the cannibal who roasted the baby to death in front of his eyes.

He silently stroked Boren's thin shoulders and fell into deep thought.
