"senior!"
"Brother Li!"
"Oh dear, Li Yao stole our magic weapon, and we forgot to ask for it back!"
Chapter 719 The Man-Eating Crocodile
In a vast, open mountain wilderness.
A golden streak of light suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
A white figure appeared.
It was Li Yao, who had just transmigrated here.
Xiaobai and Linglong wanted to stay in the space, so they didn't come here with Li Yao.
Li Yao glanced around at the surroundings.
In the distance, there was a mountain of moderate size and a river flowing from west to east.
The environment here is very tranquil, giving it the feel of a paradise.
Li Yao carefully sensed it and found that the spiritual energy here was very rich, similar to the world of "The Legend of Nezha".
"I wonder what kind of world this is?"
Li Yao muttered to himself.
"There seem to be some kids over there, let's go ask them!"
Li Yao sensed the presence of several children in the nearby grove.
The sounds of children playing and talking could also be heard.
Li Yao walked over gracefully.
"A golden light just flew down from the sky! Let's go take a look!"
"Why is golden light flying down from the sky? Could it be a deity?"
"Why don't we go over and take a look?"
"..."
A group of children ran towards Li Yao, talking as they went.
The one in the lead was a boy who looked about seven or eight years old.
There were four or five smaller children following behind, some boys and some girls.
"Big brother, did you just see a golden light?"
The little boy running in front saw Li Yao and stopped to ask him a question.
"I saw it, but it was a colorful cloud, and it's gone!"
The golden light that these children saw was naturally the trace left by him as he traveled through time.
Li Yao made up a sentence on the spot.
The little boy was immediately disappointed when he learned that it was just a fleeting cloud of light that had disappeared.
He thought a deity had descended to earth!
"Little one, what's your name?"
Li Yao squatted down and asked the little boy a question.
"My name is Gou Dan!"
"That's what the little boy answered."
Dog Egg?
Li Yao's lips twitched.
He knew that in the past, many people in the countryside liked to give their children a humble name.
They pin their hopes on their children being like some lowly creatures in nature—easy to grow, easy to develop, and free from illness and disaster.
Give it a humble name, like those cats and dogs, so it's easy to raise.
There are countless derogatory names like Gou Sheng, Lu Dan, Er Gou, Wu Gui, Wu Zai, Da Niu, etc.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao actually witnessed it today.
"Dog Egg, where is this place?"
Li Yao asked again.
"This is Liu Family Village!"
"Dog Egg replied."
Li Yao looked embarrassed.
Hey!
You asked for nothing.
There are countless Liu Family Villages in this world.
These children are too young; it's indeed quite difficult to ask them for place names.
"Big brother, did you come from a very far place?"
Dog Egg suddenly asked curiously.
"yes!"
Li Yao nodded.
Have you met my father?
“My mother said that my father went to a very, very far place.”
"Big brother, did you see my dad when you came here?"
“My dad was wearing a gray shirt and was about the same height as my older brother.”
"My dad has been gone for many days, and I miss him!"
Dog Egg had an innocent and naive look on his face.
Her voice was choked with emotion, and her eyes were fixed on Li Yao, filled with expectation.
"And my mother!"
“My dad said that my mom also went to a very, very far place.”
"Big brother, have you ever seen my mother?"
"I miss my mom too!"
Another little girl, about six or seven years old, also spoke up.
Did you go to a very far place?
Upon hearing this, Li Yao sighed inwardly.
I'm afraid that the parents of this little boy and girl are no longer alive.
The adults in their families were just using the excuse that they had "gone to a very far place" to comfort the children and prevent them from being sad.
"Uh... someone's coming!"
Li Yao's heart stirred.
Sure enough, a woman's voice called out from not far away, "Dog Egg, Dog Egg..."
Li Yao stood up and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a haggard-looking woman running towards him.
"Mother, I'm here!"
Dog Egg heard his mother's shout and quickly responded.
"Dog Egg, what are you doing here? Come back with me right now!"
Dog Egg's mother glanced at Li Yao and scolded her son reproachfully.
"Mother, this older brother has come from a very far place."
"I just asked him if he'd ever seen my dad!"
Gou Dan pointed at Li Yao and said to his mother.
Upon hearing this, Gou Dan's mother's expression changed slightly, and she quickly scolded her son, "Gou Dan, didn't I tell you that your father has only gone on a long trip and will be back soon? Hurry up and come home with me."
Gou Dan lowered his head, looking aggrieved.
Just as Gou Dan Niang was about to leave, Li Yao said, "Madam, please wait."
"Is there something you need?"
Dog Egg's mother was taken aback.
"I'd like to ask you, what kind of territory is this?"
Li Yao asked.
Dog Egg's mother hesitated for a moment, then said to Dog Egg, "Dog Egg, you go home first, I'll be back in a little while."
"Um!"
Dog Egg nodded, then said to Li Yao, "Goodbye, big brother."
Li Yao smiled slightly and nodded.
Afterwards, Gou Dan and his friends ran back towards the village.
After Gou Dan and the other children had gone far away, Gou Dan's mother said, "This is Liu Family Village in Chaozhou. Recently, many man-eating crocodiles have appeared here. You'd better leave here quickly."
Dog Egg's mother was kind-hearted and gave Li Yao a piece of advice.
