Chapter 4 Warmth
Night covers the forest, and the rain continues. The branches of the trees were wrapped in a faint white mist, as if the mist had been created by the forest.
Tie it into his trouser leg and flip the cuffs up, and Jian Ya was silent all the way, only causing the occasionally brushed branches and leaves to shake quietly.
What Kenya didn't expect was that on the way to Marisa's house, he didn't encounter any other beasts after being separated from Rumia.
Not even a beast, not even a single mosquito has ever appeared.
Now, apart from the sound of rain falling and colliding with branches and leaves, all he could hear in his ears was the sound of his own breathing and footsteps.
Such a quiet ...... It's a little too weird, too.
Squinting at the head, calculating how long it would be before he reached Marisa's home, his steps slowly stopped.
The field of vision suddenly widened a lot, and in front of him, there was an exquisite treehouse quietly entrenched.
The house is a two-storey structure with a foundation made of wooden piles with free-standing columns, which also serve to isolate the ground from insects in the middle of the woods.
The main body of the house is clearly entrenched in the trunk of the tree.
Looking up from the bottom, the roof tiles are covered with vines and vegetation that have never been taken care of, and the vegetation covering the surface of the house unexpectedly plays a protective role.
It's just that if you look closely, it seems that even the windows on the second floor are broken.
The signage at the door was old, and it was still covered with thick dust and mud, and Jian Ya could only vaguely distinguish the word fog and rain under the night without too much light.
With these details alone, you can get a sense of what kind of informal person the owner of the house is.
I think so, but I still have to fulfill the courtesy, after all, I have to ask the other party.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
Half a ring, no one answered.
Kenya politely knocked on the door again.
"Is anyone home, please?"
Embarrassingly, there was still no response.
After turning the doorknob, Kenya realizes that the other party has not locked the door
… So, what's next?
A. Push the door and enter
B. Wait quietly
C. Turns around and goes to Alice's house
……
……
Slowly pushing open the chattering wooden door, he carefully took off his muddy shoes in the hallway, and walked barefoot on the floor of Marisa's house like a thief.
The house was still silent, and there was no sign of anyone in the house, and leftovers and pots and pans could still be seen on the tables in the hall.
On one side of the pot were scattered books and mushrooms of different colors, many of which seemed to be of the same variety as the one he saw on the road, which seemed to prove that he was not looking for the wrong person.
There were also glassware burning on the table, and potions of indescribable taste and strange colors were boiling in transparent flasks.
There were also some bloody bandages piled up.
Is she hurt?
Jian Ya's brow furrowed, and he picked up the bandage as if to put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.
He took a deep breath and threw the bandage on top of his head without warning, and at the same time he used his toes to rush out the door.
But things are always so unexpected, starting with Kenya's abrupt movements. Almost at the same time, a hand, a hand with slender nails, had fallen from the ceiling!
It was like the blade of a knife tearing the owner of the paper, and the owner of that hand just slashed like that, and the claws cut in half the bandage that the sword had thrown into the air.
The moment the white figure hit the ground, it almost didn't pause before it burst into attack, and the whole figure maintained a posture almost parallel to the floor and pounced on Jian Ya!
Fast, fast!
The speed of the opponent's surprise attack is even faster than the water snake by the lake!
Jian Ya turned his head instantly, and at this moment, his two fingers merged, and with a twist, he stabbed straight towards the other party like a sword dancing in the air.
This sword finger is extremely straight, but in fact, it has gathered all the power he can use in a short time!
The white figure also seemed to be surprised by Kenya's stabbing back, but even so, the cheetah-like body movement had no intention of avoiding or dodging.
In an instant, when Jian Ya's sword finger was less than three inches away from her body, the figure suddenly reached out and slapped at the floor, and the body that was originally attacking parallel to the floor suddenly spun in mid-air!
She was so at such a speed that she dodged the blow so lightly, and 'looked back at the seal', clinging to Kenya's sword fingers and rushing straight at him!?
Immediately after that, the white bathrobe that had originally wrapped her body slowly spread out with the spin, slowly falling from mid-air, blocking Kenya's view.
"Wait...... Bathrobe!?"
Just as the upright young man was caught by the wonderful figure under the bathrobe, the figure took advantage of the momentum and instantly grabbed Kenya's left hand, and threw him over the shoulder with one hand in a powerful way that was not human.
With a 'bang', Kenya only felt that his head was spinning for a while, uncontrollable.
When he came back to his senses and reacted, he was already slammed to the ground by the other party in a face-down posture, and at the same time, he also saw the white bath towel that was steaming and exuding a faint fragrance that fell to the ground not far away.
There was a muffled snort, and his nose was a little painful and warm.
Two nosebleeds flowed out of Kenya's nostrils without a fight.
And at the moment behind him.
The back is warm, soft and feels very good.
