IRON SHELL

Chapter 001: Incomplete Return

An Wen put down his pen and looked at the completed manuscript. What he was thinking about was his mother's reading and explanation before falling asleep when he was young.

Kind of a pity.

My mother used to say, these things don't have to be remembered, As long as you have listened to experience, you can be deeply buried in the depths of memory, although not clearly remember, but has been deep into the mind, affect life.

Man should not be a slave to knowledge. To be able to recite what he has learned word for word is merely to turn himself into a repeater.

Real knowledge should be the habit and ability to blend into the bloodline.

But that did not comfort him.

Write down these, is his means to send thoughts, but also his three years with Qiu Xiaowu contact to develop the habit.

To this day, this manuscript has finally been completed, which is a great accomplishment.

He looked out of the window and there happened to be birds flying over the branches, singing. The sun falls in the branches and leaves, green leaves reflect green light, green grass, mountain spring Ding-Dong sound, into the stream flow, clean not a trace of impurities.

Mother would be happy to live here. Her life is the pursuit of this hermit-like rural life, quiet and quiet, no strife, no noise.

But her world could not give her that. Explored to the limit of the earth, everywhere traces of modern human civilization, rural holy land is just a dream, in some special places can be seen.

Those places are protected as treasures by human beings, and no modern civilization is allowed to enter them and disturb their peace. It would be impossible for someone like my mother to settle down.

" Unwin! "

At this time Qiu Small Five pushed the door ran in, the quiet atmosphere will become active.

Unwin turned and smiled at him.

This simple and honest village boy, for three years has not learned Anwen had taught him those etiquette, until today, He was still used to pushing the door in without the owner's permission.

" You wrote a new one? " Qiu asked, staring at the manuscript on the table.

" Hmm. " Anwen nodded.

Qiu Xiao Wu grabbed the past and read carefully.

Qiu Xiaowu, with a small round face, has short, messy hair, which is no different from other teenagers in Kemang village. Anwen did not think how ugly the hairstyle was, and was not tired of the dried grass leaves hanging from his body. But after repeated reminders in exchange for repeated hey giggling and harder pumping, Anwen gave up.

He was afraid that Qiu Xiao Wu would suck his snot into his throat too hard, and then... he would be more difficult to accept.

" The Kings of the South, North and Central Seas are good friends. Because the central sea is in the center, so the three kings often meet here. The King of the Central Sea was generous and gave a warm welcome to two friends each time. For a long time, two friends feel embarrassed, so discuss to repay their friends.

They wondered what the King of the Central Sea lacked. Then they had an idea and said,' Every man has eyes, ears, nose and seven holes in his head. To see, hear, eat and breathe, but the King of the Central Sea did not. Let him also experience the beauty of the world!

They told the story to the King of the Central Sea. But not wanting to break his friend's heart, he agreed to let them open seven holes for himself. So the King of the South Sea and the North Sea chiseled a hole in his head for the King of the Central Sea every day. "

Qiu Xiaowu read aloud, then put down the codex and laughed.

" It's funny, are there any eyes, ears, mouth and nose people in this world? " he asked Anwen.

" Maybe, " Anwen said helplessly. " It's just a story. "

" It's a strange story, isn't it? " Qiu said.

Anwen nodded. " Yes. "

He could only laugh.

In three years, he learned the language and even wrote beautiful words. But Qiu Xiaowu did not learn a sentence belongs to the language of Anwen. Not only that, every time he read Anwen's manuscript, he always had an understanding of the story that had nothing to do with the main idea of the story.

An text to want to codex the story, let Qiu Small Five and their own more common language, but obviously failed.

" Two of his friends were so dumb. " Qiu Small Five lamented, " Eyes nose ears mouth, these are a birth should have, and then what is the use? Killed his best friend. The King of the Central Sea is really, know this is not good, why also promised a friend? In order not to hurt the friendship, but put his own life into it. Three great fools!

With these words, he laughed again.

" Yes, they are all stupid. " Anwen laughed.

What else can you do but laugh?

The accident three years ago brought him to this idyllic village. At that time he was seriously injured, if not Qiu Small Five found rescued, now he has become a handful of dry bones.

After that, everything he knew about the world was heard from Qiu Xiaowu. Qiu Xiaowu is his teacher, let him learn the language and characters here; Qiu Xiaowu is also his friend, because in addition to Qiu Xiaowu, No one else of his age dares to come into contact with himself as a silent freak.

A solar eclipse does not mean that a catastrophe has arisen somewhere in the world, nor does a lunar eclipse represent the wrath of some god who swallowed the moon...

Such as these principles, shocked the villagers, almost will Anwen as mixed with the human demagoguery demon clan to get rid of.

Thanks to Qiu Xiaowu, thanks to his kind and strong father Qiu Li, Anwen can safely survive.

Thinking of this, Anwen can not help but think of the disaster three years ago.

When he was eight, he lost his mother. When he was fifteen, he lost his father. That was three years ago.

Three years ago, he went to France with his father to visit a heritage exhibition, but the plane encountered a terrible storm over the sea. After a roar, his eyes went black and he woke up with only a few pieces of the seat. His father and the civilized world left him forever, and he descended into the barren hills near the village of Kemang. Came to this seems to be the earth but not like the earth world.

The world has no name - the world is the world, who would choose a name for his world? Like there's a world out there.

Here and the earth the same sun, moon, stars, and the earth the same flowers and trees cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

But there are no computers, mobile phones, satellites, guns. There is no Anwen has seen, any representative of the Earth's civilized architecture, clothing, customs...

People here use bows, arrows, knives and guns, rich people travel around in carriages or on horseback, and ordinary people travel on two feet.

The most wonderful place here is that, in addition to the Terrans, there are demons, orcs, demons, and the ancient Protoss who call themselves the descendants of the gods.

Like a world of myth.

Three years let Anwen used to this wonderful world, influenced by his mother and childhood longing for the quiet pastoral life, also let him fall in love with the world.

In this end, a quiet life, quietly painting, farming, one day old, buried in the nearby castle peak......

This was the life the mother wanted. She didn't get it, but her son, who had inherited her ideas, got it.

Convergence thoughts, because Anwen heard Qiu Xiaowu mention Qiu Li.

" What's wrong with Uncle Qiu Li? " he asked.

" I will come back today! " Qiu Xiaowu said loudly and excitedly.

" Is the war over? " asked Unwin.

" Nature is our victory! " Qiu Xiaoyi face proud.

Terran and Demon, Orc Protoss relationship is not good. The two tribes always want to annex the human race, get the most fertile and beautiful land, to achieve some kind of wild hope handed down since ancient times, and the human race can only continue to resist.

Two months ago, a small-scale war broke out, Qiu Xiaowu's father Qiu Li was called into the " emergency army ", on the battlefield.

I didn't expect the war to be over so soon. Anwen was glad to think that the kind and strong man would come back soon.

" We should serve him well, " said Unwin, taking his bow and arrow from the Wall. " How about a deer? "

" Great! " Qiu Small Five Eyes Light.

My father was a strong man and a good hunter, but it was a pity that he did not pass on the skill from him. Therefore, the father always jokingly said: " I do not know you and Anwen in the end who is my son, my skills all let him learn, but you do not know. " "

At this time, Qiu Small Five always said angrily: " I planted the melon has always been the sweetest in the village! "

Plowing, weeding, sowing, harvesting... all about the work in the field, Qiu Xiaowu did very well. He was quite confident that he was a good farmer.

There are mountains outside the village and forests on the hills. In the mountains where he fell and Qiu Xiaowu met, Anwen hit a small buck very smoothly. The two teenagers happily carried the unlucky guy back, the setting sun shining on them, warm and warm.

When entering the village, Anwen felt something was wrong. Ke Mang village was called to four people, according to Reason, four people return, there should be at least four families happy, But Unwin didn't hear the celebration.

Qiu Small Five have no feeling for everything, he just looked forward to see his father when the scene, constantly said he would show his father what kind of labor results.

There was no sound in Qiu's yard. The rhubarb dog lay listlessly on the edge of the haystack. The two boys lifted the deer and pushed open the door. Two men in the room looked at them.

" Daddy! " Qiu Xiaowu looked at one of them and shouted excitedly, but after the sound sounded, the joy on his face became consternation.

" Daddy, your hand... " he trembled and the deer fell to the ground.

With a square face, the figure is very strong Qiu Li waved his left hand, smiled: " Long time no see silly boy. "

Unwin looked at Qiu Li, his eyes focused on his empty right sleeve.
