Spring Garden Heart Chapter 87

Wu Ao is a member of the Wu tribe and has never left the tribe since he was a child.

But the time was very different from now. The Yaoguang formation had not yet been set up, and demons were rampant in the Yaoguang continent. It was not easy to survive. Wu Ao had no special background, but was just an ordinary member of the Wu clan. If there was anything special about him, it was that his parents died early.

In that era, it was extremely difficult for a child without parents to survive. The difficulties they had to face were not only monsters, but also hunger and cold. Even though hundreds of years had passed, Wu Ao still clearly remembered that the day he met the Heavenly Monarch was a winter morning.

It was really cold that day. Wu Ao went to the river early to dig a hole and get some drinkable water from the river. However, the ice on the river was too thick. He dug for a long time but couldn't get through it. He hadn't eaten for a few days and his stomach was growling with hunger. Wu Ao wiped his tears, gritted his teeth, and used the blunt blade in his hand to chisel the ice bed in front of him bit by bit. His body was getting colder and colder, and his movements were gradually stiffening. The tears on his cheeks even condensed into ice chips due to the cold. Wu Ao felt his strength was rapidly fading. He panted and lay on the ice like a frozen animal.

Every winter is the most difficult time. Countless people die in this terrible season, and he will be one of them. When the spring comes next year, the bodies will sink into the river and become food for fish. Wu Ao's breath gradually weakened. Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he heard footsteps. Wu Ao used up his last strength and raised his head with difficulty. When he saw the person coming, he even thought it was an illusion before his death. He saw a man in red clothes. The man half squatted down, silently stretched out his hand to him, and gently wiped away the fine ice on his cheek.
