Chapter 440: Brother and Sister
The catastrophe came in that breath, and a shadow suddenly passed over Yan Chu's head, and then a nine-headed monster fell behind Yan Bai! At that time, the little girl's hands that had been raised high because of happiness had not yet been put down.
"Poof!" The fish in Yan Chu's hand saw the opportunity for his fingers to loosen, and suddenly broke free of the clamps and plunged into the water, but the fish shadow disappeared in an instant.
Yan Chu was dumbfounded for a few breaths, and horror crawled on his face, and his heart was like being slammed, and it was difficult to breathe. His brain couldn't think of anything, Yan Chu just relied on his instinct to move towards Yan Bai.
It was just a cold river, but at this time, it was like a quagmire rolling around him, and every step was terrifyingly difficult!
Yan Bai Yan Bai shouted in his heart, shouting heartbreakingly. But he couldn't make a sound at all, Yan Chu's open lips could only tremble, and his eyes stared straight ahead, like a dry fish trying to struggle back into the water from the shore.
Seven-year-old Yan Bai was already extremely sensitive to danger, she didn't even see the ugly expression on her brother's face, and instinctively turned her face to look at what was behind her.
"Ah" screamed like a knife into Yan Chu's ear, and Yan Bai was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Yan Chu's heart tightened, and Yan Bai's screams seemed to open the source of strength in his body, and his hands and feet moved faster.
The throat also reacted, and Yan Bai's name burst out: "Yan Bai!" ”
It's a pity that at the same time as Yan Chu shouted these two words, one of the nine-headed monster birds stretched his neck forward, opened his mouth and jumped into the sky with Yan Bai in his mouth! He was unsteady under his feet and planted in the water, and through the splashing droplets, Yan Chu saw a brightly dressed woman standing on the riverbank.
Before he could see clearly, he "poofed" and fell into waist-deep water. When struggling to stand up, where is the shadow of Yan Bai?!
"Yan Bai! Yan Bai "Yan Chu stood in the water and cried, the sound of tearing the sky straight into the sky, but he couldn't get back a response from the closest person. The drops of water in his hair were still rolling into his eyes, and Yan Chu's vision fluttered and walked to the shore.
A pair of flaming yellow soap boots embroidered with birds flying with wings slammed into his eyes, Yan Chu was stunned for a moment, and then, a burning hand wiped the water droplets from his face.
"Boy, don't be so spineless. You can't die for the time being, as long as you do what I say. The other party lifted his chin, and Yan Chu finally saw the woman talking to him clearly.
On her fair skin is a delicate and pretty face with heavy makeup, which matches her bright dress in full swing.
However, no matter how hot the woman dressed and how hot her hands were, those eyes were as cold as ice. It was as if the naughty child threw two ice beads that had been frozen for thousands of years into a fire, printed with the black of charcoal fire, and became the appearance of eyes.
"You're related to that monster?!" Yan Chu has always been calm-minded, although he lost his square inch in a mess, but this woman's words made him slowly calm down.
These are the "rewards" he has earned by living for so many years, which is why he can barely support a family despite his youth. If that person hadn't thought about him, he would have died anyway!
"That's not a monster, it's a Rollo bird. If you have anyone in your family who has been on the battlefield, you should know, right? The woman pressed his lips in displeasure and pinched his jaw at the same time.
Of course, Yan Chu knew about the Luo Luo Bird, and his grandfather, whom he respected the most, told him about the Luo Luo Bird when he was only six years old, from its appearance and name at the beginning to the habits of this bird. Grandpa said that the Rollo bird is a rare bird that is only attracted to the corpses on the battlefield, and as long as there are dead people, the battlefield is their feeding ground.
However, when they keep eating, once they don't have a corpse, they will evolve into preying on the living!
It's a pity that his grandfather died when he was eight years old, on the battlefield. And that cowardly father, in order to avoid conscription, actually cut off one of his arms and became the "master" of the family.
Yan Chu had never seen Luo Luo Bird, and he didn't expect it to be Luo Luo Bird at that frightened glance. His attention was all on Yan Bai.
"Looks like I know." Seeing his expression, the woman had already guessed dá àn. She shook off Yan Chu's chin and washed her hands in the cold water, "Once the Luo Luo bird is tamed, it is a rare warrior." You don't scream monsters all day long. Got it? ”
Lunatic! Yan Chu glared at her with red eyes, and his teeth were "gurgling": "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Good perception. It's just that people are stupid. The woman shook the droplets of water in her hands and looked at Yan Chu mockingly. With a voice as calm as the river water of this spring, Yan Chu gave an order that made his limbs chill!
When I heard this, I could already guess what the woman's order was. I didn't expect that the nine-headed monster to be domesticated!
Yan Chu on the other side also seemed to be recalling a terrible experience that was enough to pull him into the endless darkness and countless dry bones, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. Beads of sweat slid down the skinny cheeks in the flickering light.
He took a few deep breaths and slowly lowered his little white hand. Holding it any longer, he was worried that he would pinch mèi mèi.
"She asked you to trick the other kids out of town to catch Rolls Bird?" I got up from the bed on the ground, and the little broken boy opposite me actually believed that kind of woman's words! If that's the case, I'm afraid that he will be the one who will be caught in the end!
Yan Chu had a white face, wiped a handful of sweat, and shook his head: "No, these children were taken away before." The only person she wanted me to deceive was Xiao Zhong. ”
"Xiao Zhong?" I couldn't help but be stunned, the timid looking boy was no more "delicious" than those seven or eight year old children, and besides, although the boy looked weak, his limbs were still extremely strong.
There is also a thick layer of skin in the palm, as if it is caused by long-term labor.
Yan Chu nodded: "After the woman told me, I couldn't figure out why she wanted to arrest Xiao Zhong." subconsciously asked a rhetorical question, but was ridiculed by her stern words. Anyway, if I want to change back to my own mèi mèi, I must take Xiao Zhong to the mountain and let Luo Luo Bird capture it."
He still remembers that when he came home with a heavy heart, Xiao Zhong had already cooked simple wild vegetables and coarse rice and waited for him to go back.
"Brother Yan Chu, eat quickly! Tomorrow we have to go up the mountain to collect medicine for money. Xiao Zhong grabbed the old clay bowl and served him a bowl full of bibimbap. The smile on his face was bright, and it shook Yan Chu's heart uncomfortably.
Take the bowl and take a bite, it's delicious, but he can't swallow it.
Looking at the young man he picked up a year ago, Yan Chu was suddenly glad that he believed in him, and he was also glad that he had already made an appointment with him to go up the mountain to collect medicine 18146
