Chapter 5: Into the Black Forest
Eva wanders the dark path, not wanting to go home, she is afraid of being alone! That quiet night scared her and made her miss her parents even more. Every scene in the house reminds her of her parents. The magnolia woven by her mother, the table that her father nailed by herself, and the horn cup that her father took her to make together... Every moment of her stay at home is a painful memory, and she is not so strong that she does not have the courage to face the pain head-on. It's been almost ten years, and she still can't face it.
In the distance, the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves was heard, hoarse and painful. Although I often hear this voice, it still makes people's hearts tremble when they hear it. It was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick, both of whom were in their fifties, and they only had this one son, who was in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and his son had eaten wild vegetable soup for more than ten years, and his stomach had ulcerated, and he would howl in pain at this time of day. The whole person is skinny and skinny, and it is simply a skeleton called it. The most terrible thing is that he can only suffer in pain, and he can't die even if he wants to, which makes people feel distressed. Everyone, including his parents, hopes that the next person to disappear will be him, not that they don't love him, but they just want to end the torment he can't get rid of as soon as possible.
Patrick's grandfather was very kind, and once it rained heavily, and the roof of Eva's house collapsed, and the wind and rain poured into the small house. With such a heavy rain, Patrick's grandfather was worried that Eva was home alone, so he braved the wind and rain to run over and take Eva to his house. After the rain, I helped her re-strengthen the roof.
Grandma Pedewald had a pair of skillful hands and often helped Eva make clothes and straw sandals, which she weaved were both explanatory and soft. If you cook something delicious at home, you will also send it to Eva. Eva listened to the cry and realized how sad and helpless the Patricks were. She couldn't help anything.
"Why should the Shenmu tribe be punished like this?" Eva muttered to herself with a bit of anger, more like she was responsible. Hunger deunites them, curses bring them untold suffering, and the Black Forest deprives her of those closest to her. Eva told herself over and over again that I should do something for my people.
Eva is either at Grandpa Eton's house or in the forest during the day. She won't go home until she is very tired and tired. Home is a painful place for her. The moon had reached mid-heaven, and Eva arrived at the house, and fell asleep on her bed. I got up early the next morning and went out.
Before dawn, a sixteen-year-old girl dressed in a deerskin, carrying a bow and arrows, carried a long grass. Walk on the edge of the Black Forest. In this big forest, this little girl looks so weak and small, and her lonely back is even more pitiful.
The deerskin dress was made for her by her mother, and she was never willing to wear it. Today Eva turned it out and wore it on her body, which is her favorite piece of clothing.
She looked at the dark and dim Black Forest, where fear, mystery, the shadow of the tribe, the place that changed Eva's fate. Mom and Dad just went there and never came back.
"Eva, either bring back the deer to the people, or go to hell to meet Mom and Dad. Eva was talking to herself to cheer herself up and give herself confidence. She feared the Black Forest as much as everyone else, but the love in her heart outweighed the fear.
Thinking of this, Eva clenched the spear in her hand and strode towards the Black Forest.
"Eva, wait for me!" was Chaburo's voice. Eva stopped and turned to look at the galloping Chaburo. Chaburo was still dragging a person, who was sleepy-eyed and very reluctant. This person is none other than the young patriarch Shenmu Rottis.
"Sister Bro, you can't go to the Black Forest with me, go back!" Eva's words were flat and resolute, and could not be resisted.
"Look, let me guess right, you said yesterday that you could get endless deer for the people, and I knew you were going to the Black Forest! If you don't even call me, do you still treat me as a friend?
Eva was silent, and after a moment she spoke: "Sister Bro, you are different from me, you have parents and fathers, you have to consider their feelings! What will happen to them if they never come back after entering the Black Forest? Do you understand the pain of losing a loved one? The torment is even more terrible than death!"
Chaburo hesitated, and after a while, he leaked a resolute look again: "Eva, you are also my relative, will you watch me go on an adventure and stand by?" Besides, I am also a member of the Shenmu clan, and I have the right and obligation to do something for the clansmen. ”
Chaburo's words left Eva speechless, and she fell silent. She repeated in her heart the words of Chaburo: Would you watch your relatives take risks and stand idly by? Nine years ago, how could my mother not know how dangerous it was to enter the Black Forest, and he was so determined to go with his father, and his father did not object either.
"Well, since you're so insistent, let's break into this Black Forest together!" Eva knew Chaburo's temper. She won't worry about going into the Black Forest, knowing that it is a dead end, she will also die with herself, that is, Chaburo, pure and kind Chaburo, in her heart, friendship is more important than life.
"Eva, don't worry, I'm prepared!"
"You're talking about Rotis!"
"Hahaha... His blood is evil spirit-warding!" Teaburo laughed. Laughing Narotis had a chill down his spine. Chaburo looked at Rotis with greedy eyes, and Rotis felt like someone else's delicacy!
"You're going to die, why do you have to take me?" said Lotis, reluctantly.
"If I talk nonsense, I'll let your blood go, and it's much more convenient to take your blood into the Black Forest than to take you. Chaburo smiled evilly. Rottis stuck out his tongue and stopped talking. The three of them were about to enter the Black Forest when an old voice came.
"Eva, you've finally figured it out!" said Eaton.
"Grandpa Eton, why are you here?"
"My precious granddaughter is going to the Black Forest to die, shouldn't I send you off? ”
"Stinky old man, don't say cool words, or you go with us, I heard that you are the only one who made it out of the Black Forest alive. Rottis finally found a punching bag.
"Boy, you and your dad don't have a good cake, and any more mouths will drain your blood!" Eaton stared at Rotis. Eyes can eat people.
On weekdays, Lotis looked down on this old man the most, and often made fun of the old man, pulled his beard, and threw bird eggs. The old man never spoke. I don't know why Eaton suddenly opened his mouth today.
"Grandpa Eton, you're too old to come with us to the Black Forest!" Eva looked worried.
"Silly boy, I'm not going, are you still out of the Black Forest, are you going to let me watch you die for nothing? you three must listen to me, come with me!" Eaton was firm, and his words were commanding. Without looking back, he walked towards the Black Forest. This old man, who always sits at the entrance of the village and looks like he is dying, is walking vigorously today. I don't know if it was the effect of the bowl of broth, or if he was hiding himself before.
Yesterday Eva had just heard Chaburo say that Grandpa Eton had been in the Black Forest, and that he was the only one who came out alive. No one knows how he came out alive, and when someone asks him, he is like a mute and doesn't say a word.
Eva has always been very strange, Grandpa Eton used to persuade himself to go into the Black Forest, is he really not afraid of the Black Forest? Thinking of this, Eva strode after him. I have nothing to fear, no worries. She is not afraid of anything. She has only one firm conviction that she will either bring back the deer for the tribe or disappear forever in the Black Forest.
Chaburo is affectionate and righteous, she will never let Eva go on an adventure alone, at this time she is really about to enter the Black Forest, an inexplicable sense of fear hits, she does not have the courage to take that step. A man stood there looking around, looking nervous.
"Chaburo, don't be afraid, I'll protect you, my blood can restrain evil magic, and I will definitely let you get out of the Black Forest safely!" "Lotis, who has always been improper, stands in front of Chaburo like a hero at this moment, giving her courage and giving her a sense of security! Chaburo leaked a surprised look, is this still the Rotis I know?
True love gives people courage, the courage to protect true love, and at this moment, even Rottis himself does not know where the infinite power comes from. He took Chaburo's hand abruptly and strode towards the Black Forest.
