Becoming a creator in prehistory

Chapter 115

Hearing the noise in the house, Benu pushed open the door directly.

I saw that the house was full of people, and they sat around the table as if they were having a meal, and the man who claimed to be his father whom he met before was also among them.

When the other party saw Benu standing at the door, his face fell on the spot.

"I've said it before. From now on, I don't have a place for you at home. I work hard every day, but I don't want to raise a white-eyed wolf like you."

Hearing this person's words, other people in the seat also focused their attention on Bennu.

"Master, please don't do this, Zach is your son."

Seeing this, a middle-aged woman hurriedly pleaded for mercy. She seemed to be the mistress of the house.

"Hmph, he's not my son, he told me this himself."

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly came to Benu's side and pulled him in through the door.

"Zach, quickly admit your father's mistake, I know you didn't mean it."

Although Benu didn't have any impression of the woman in front of him, but seeing the worried expression on her face, he was still a little soft-hearted.

"Forget it, it's all for getting out of here."

Thinking of this, Benu lowered his head and said vaguely:
"Sorry, I was wrong."

Seeing that the man's face looked a little better, the woman said quickly:
"Master, you see that Zach has already admitted his mistake, so please forgive him."

"Hmph, if that's the case, then I forgive you this time.

But as a punishment, you don't eat today's meal. "

After all, the man ignored the two of them and concentrated on eating the meal in front of him.

Benu subconsciously glanced at the food on the table. In front of the man was a soup that was as clear as clear water, and there was nothing in it except some things like leaves.

I saw that he picked up a dried mushroom on the plate, dipped it in the soup and ate it, his expression seemed to enjoy it.

Seeing this, Bennu was a little speechless. The food was lighter than that of a druid, and he seemed to have lost his appetite.

At this time, the woman on the side pulled up Benu and went straight to the second floor.

Seeing that there was no one else, she said with some distress:
"I know you've been having a rough time lately, as the eldest son you've been forced to take on a lot of the work in the family.

It must make you very wronged that you don't have time to play and play with your friends. "

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch Benu's head, but he subconsciously avoided it.

Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but shed tears.

"Hey, I know you feel bad, but don't resent your father, he is also working hard to support the children at home, it is not easy for all of us.

However, as long as we survive the coming year, our family should be more relaxed. "

After that, she walked downstairs.

Looking at the back of the other party, Benu could feel that the life of this family was not easy.

In contrast, druids are much more comfortable, although they are always in danger.

Benu didn't think much, and went straight into the room on the second floor, intending to collect some clues.

While he was looking around, a thin figure slipped into the room.

The thin boy in front of him kept staring at him, and Benu couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He thought his identity had been seen through by the other party.

Unexpectedly, the boy took out something from his clothes and handed it to him.

Benu took a closer look and found that it was half a mushroom, the kind that was on the family's dinner table.

"Brother Zach, you must be very hungry if you haven't eaten all day.

Here, I specially reserved a little for you. "

Seeing this, Benu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then instinctively refused:
"I'm not hungry, you should eat by yourself, you are too thin."

The boy didn't take back his hand when he heard the words, but stepped forward two steps, and said stubbornly:
"Eat, you have to work every day, you can't do without food.

In order to survive the winter, the family needs to hoard enough food. Now that my father and you are working hard for this family, I can't fall behind.

Brother, this is one of the few things I can do to help you. "

When Benu heard this, he had no choice but to accept half of the mushroom in the boy's hand.

I don't know if it's because of the dream, but now he doesn't feel any hunger at all.

However, in order not to disappoint the other party's kindness, he still put the mushroom into his mouth.

As he expected, the dried mushrooms were not delicious, but rather bitter.

"Could it be that this is the life of the bottom people in the city-state?"

…………

Bennu didn't know how time worked in the dream, and according to his records, he had been here for a month.

He still hasn't found a way to leave here, but he has already adapted to the role of Zach.

Collecting firewood, grazing cattle, mowing grass to feed livestock every day, and helping the male owner of the family carry charcoal from time to time.

In short, Wutian is either at work or on his way to work.

During this period of time, he fully experienced the hardships of the bottom-level golden people, and he wanted to go back to the forest even more.

On this day, Benu was called by his "father" to carry the newly burned charcoal into the charcoal kiln.

At first, he was unwilling to do this kind of thing, but after experiencing the hardships of life at the bottom, he also understood a little bit more.

Besides, the trees for burning charcoal were not cut down by the other party, and he had no reason to blame the other party.

During this period of time, Benu learned many things, for example, because of the druid relationship, lumberjacking here in Hengcheng is a high-risk occupation, and not anyone can do it.

Rare things are more expensive. According to the difficulty of obtaining wood, charcoal burning should be regarded as a relatively good job.

However, the life of this family is still not rich.

Looking at the baskets of charcoal he brought out, Benu asked with some doubts:
"Where are all the charcoals that have been fired? It's almost winter. Do we need to keep some?"

Hearing these words, the "father" who was loading the charcoal into the cart suddenly said angrily:
"What are you thinking, how can we afford such precious things as charcoal, they belong to the nobles in the city, and I can only get a small processing fee.

Hey, I hope that when I enter the city this time, those noble lords can settle the wages they owed me last time. "

Watching the other party push the cart away, Benu also turned around and returned home.

At this time, the house was still as noisy as when we first met. As a mother, she needed to recruit and take care of nearly ten young children at the same time, so she had no time to deal with other housework.

At first, Benu was very puzzled, why he gave birth to so many children when he obviously couldn't support them.

However, he later learned that Zac was not the eldest son of the family in the first place.

On top of him, there are several brothers and sisters.

However, one winter passed, and they all died young.

In this increasingly cold winter, the death rate of newborns is terribly high.

It is this rate of premature death that makes the people of gold frantically make babies during the spring and summer social seasons.

It seems that there are a lot of births, but they are actually gambling on luck, and Zach belongs to the kind of gambling that wins.

Seeing the "mother" busy around, Benu sighed, skillfully picked up the sickle and rope hanging behind the door, and prepared to go out to collect some grass.

At this time, the thin little boy from before came over again, he smiled and said:
"Brother, let me be with you."

It's a bit funny to say, but he doesn't even know the name of this younger brother who shows kindness to him and likes to cling to him.

Or to be more precise, the other party has no name at all.

In this environment full of eliminations, only those children who can survive are worthy of names.

And this exceptionally thin boy in front of him should be very weak from birth, coupled with long-term malnutrition, it is really a bit reluctant for him to survive this winter, so he didn't even choose a name.

Facing this child who was likely to die young, Benu couldn't bear to refuse the other party's request.

So, he took the other party out to the plains to collect forage.

The other party's physical condition was indeed very bad, and he was already out of breath and exhausted before he reached the place.

Benu didn't urge him when he saw this, and stood and rested with the other party.

However, the boy was rather embarrassed and said:
"Brother Zach, I delayed your work.

It's just that I have always wanted to see the outside environment. If I don't realize this idea now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future. "

Obviously, the boy also knew that his physical condition was very bad, and he might not be able to survive this severe winter.

Seeing this, Benu quickly comforted him:
"Don't say such things, as long as I'm here, I can take you wherever you want at any time."

Hearing this, the boy said sensiblely:
"Thank you Brother Zach, I appreciate everything you do, especially for this family.

And the father and mother, they also tried their best.

This winter, I think my brothers and sisters should be able to survive.

If I was born in other families with a physical condition like mine, I would only end up being thrown away.

I am very satisfied to be able to live until now. "

Looking at the other party's clear eyes, Benu felt a little uncomfortable.

He never knew that living was such a luxury.

…………

Under the leadership of Bennu, the boy saw the endless plains. Although the grass and trees were yellow and no longer green, the boy was still very happy.

However, this pure happiness did not last long, and he fell ill the next day.

Looking at the other party's eyes closed and bloodless face, Benu felt a little guilty in his heart.

On the contrary, the "father" on the side spoke up and said:
"It's not your fault. This is his destiny. He is destined to return to the embrace of the creator at this time. No one can stop this. All we can do now is pray."

When Benu heard the words, he immediately prayed. I don't know when he has integrated into the role of Zac, and he no longer regards everything around him as an illusion.

Just as he was praying silently, a strange flute came in from outside the house...
