Chapter 4: Leaving the Town

Looking at the boundless black forest at night, I was slightly distracted, and my mind traced the memories of my childhood.

After half a ring, he whispered: "Sister Qian, are you okay?"

The girl behind her frowned slightly, her bright eyes blinked, and she whispered, "Brother, will Aunt You fall from the sky above that forest?"

Nightshade looked up at the dim sky and sighed, "I don't know. ”

The silence lasted for a moment again, and the night suddenly turned around, looked seriously at the girl in front of him, who was no more than his chest, and said firmly: "But I don't want to wait any longer, I want to go out, leave the town to see the outside world, I want to practice, make myself stronger, maybe one day I will have the ability to break through the passage of that world, and I can see it again...... Mom. ”

There was still a sentence in his heart, which he did not say.

That is, he still wants to find his father, Su Chen.

......

Shaping his body in the thunder pool did not make him return to his original age and size, and he was pulled to this world by a lightning bolt, and three years have passed in a flash, and the dark night has finally grown up again, and his appearance is still the same.

That day fell like a green onion, and accidentally saved the little girl in front of me, I don't know if the giant bear is not in a good position, or the girl is lucky, in short, the bear died unjustly.

The girl in front of her, named Lin Xiaoruo, originally followed his father to leave this small town isolated from the outside world by the Black Forest.

It's just that this black forest is too dangerous, and few people in the town can get out alive, and the father and daughter are no exception, and in the end, the father died tragically, and the girl survived.

After that, Youye and Lin Xiaoruo depended on each other and lived in Lin Xiaoruo's house in the town.

After being reborn, Yu Ye is four years older than Lin Xiaoruo, although he was a junior high school student, but his life skills are also very lacking, and the two children are hungry for a meal, and it is not easy to live.

At first, Lin Xiaoruo still had some food at home, and the two of them made do with it for nearly half a year.

But after that, there was nothing to fill the stomach, people were iron and rice, and they were hungry and panicked if they didn't eat for a day, so they had to go out alone every now and then to find something to eat.

Not to mention, he is athletic, agile, some skills are really not covered, every time he comes back, he will bring back a lot of food, at first he also concealed the source of food in the night, but since one day, he ran back with a blue nose and swollen face, and only took out a piece of crushed rice cake in his arms, the smart Lin Xiaoruo guessed where the boy who had been taking care of her got the food, and Lin Xiaoruo cried very sadly that day.

It's not that she thinks there's anything wrong with stealing things in the night, but her brother was beaten, and she can't be calm.

Over time, the news of stealing food in the dark night gradually spread in this small town.

In this isolated place, the folk customs are simple, and the hearts of the people are also quite kind, so many families don't care much about what they do in the night, and even some food will be placed in a conspicuous place to relieve the lonely brother and sister.

————————————

Before and after the town, there are only a few hundred families, and for generations they have been surrounded by several mountains, which are too steep to climb, so the only way to the outside world is the vast Black Forest.

Although isolated from the world, the sparrows are small and well-equipped, and each household in the town basically has some unique craftsmanship and many vendors, so that the residents of the town can at least be self-sufficient, not to mention that they have enough food and clothing.

Living outside the world for many years has not hindered the town's inhabitants from understanding the outside world.

There is a custom here that anyone who walks out of the Black Forest and can bring back news and tokens from outside will be revered as the next mayor, so when the mayor is old, he will also choose some shrewd and strong men to break into the terrifying forest.

The reason why the Black Forest is terrifying is not only because of the rampant beasts in it, but also because its area is so large that if you want to cross it, you can't even think about it for months.

But if you want to survive in that forest for a few months and get out alive, it is estimated that in addition to luck, you still have to rely on ...... Luck.

Why Lin Xiaoruo is so persistent with her father is also because the father and daughter want to go to the outside world to find her mother.

I heard Lin Xiaoruo say that her mother was the one who came in from outside, but she didn't walk in, but fell from the sky.

At that time, there was no Lin Xiaoruo, and her father was by the stream in the mountain behind the town, and he rescued a woman who was seriously injured and fell from the air.

After a long period of recuperation, I don't know whether to fall in love for a long time, or to repay her father for saving his life, the woman later became Lin Xiaoruo's mother.

But when Lin Xiaoruo was four years old, his mother had to leave here and leave the father and daughter because of a personal belonging.

In the end, Lin Xiaoruo's mother flew away.

Being able to fly is not uncommon for the people of the town, because everyone has learned about the general picture of the outside world from generations of mayors.

This is a vast world, which can be described as full of wonders, not only human beings, but also other races such as demons and elves.

The entire plane is filled with all kinds of magical elements, and human beings can be based on spiritual power and mutual affinity with magic elements, and then control them in the form of spells, so as to obtain powerful energy, this energy can attack, defend, assist, and even use magic elements to improve their own quality, such as speed and strength, so as to derive martial arts and other unimaginable cultivation paths, which is very mysterious.

————————

When Lin Xiaoruo heard Youye's decision, her slender delicate body suddenly shook, and she stared at Youye with a panicked face, and the little hand behind her back unconsciously pinched the rice cake into shape.

In an instant, the circles under his eyes turned red again, and he stared at the boy in front of him in a daze, speechless.

Yu Ye knew Lin Xiaoruo's thoughts, smiled slightly, and comforted: "Xiaoruo, it's okay, you also know, I came down from the sky, hehe, I won't be eaten by wild beasts so easily, and besides, I have already practiced the fireball technique taught to me by Old Man Huang last year, you see..."

As he spoke, Yu Ye held up one hand, chanted a strange spell in his mouth, and the next moment, a palm-sized flame rose out of thin air from his palm, the flame was a little distance from the palm of his hand, it didn't look big, but the temperature was really not weak, and it was particularly eye-catching under the dim night sky.

Lin Xiaoruo has long seen the spell taught to him by the mayor's grandfather, and it is said that it is still the housekeeping skill obtained by this generation of mayors under the adventures of the outside world, but somehow he let the dark night learn it, and today's flame does seem to be more powerful than the usual night practice, at least in terms of size and temperature, it is far beyond the past.

Lin Xiaoruo pursed her lips and stared at the flames, the beating firelight reflected on her dirty little face with a little tears, which was very moving.

Looking up at the night again, the rice cake had been dropped to the ground by her at some point, and the little hands behind her back were tightly pressed together.

"Brother, can you, can you, take me?" for fear of being rejected, Lin Xiaoruo's voice was very nervous, very small, very soft.

Yuye's expression became serious, looking at the girl's stubborn and serious expression, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

In fact, he didn't want to leave Lin Xiaoruo alone, but he had a deep understanding of the danger of the Black Forest, but seeing the girl's determined expression, after thinking about it, he decided to take her with him, so that Lin Xiaoruo could live a hard life in the town, it was better for the two to live and die together, maybe the future would be very good.

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid, I'll take you, let's go to the terrifying forest together!"

Hearing the affirmative reply, Lin Xiaoruo's tense body suddenly relaxed, cried with joy, rushed forward in two steps, hugged the boy's neck, and hung on the latter.

"Hey, hey, beware, there's fire! It's hot!"

......

Following

Back at home, the two cleaned up, and the dark night originally asked Lin Xiaoruo to wait at home, and he planned to say goodbye to the town elder.

In the past few years in the town, perhaps only this old man has helped them the most, although the night is stubborn and unruly, but he knows in his heart that he is going to leave at this time, not to talk about repayment, at least a thank you always has to be said.

However, when the little girl saw that he was going alone, she was anxious again, worried that the night would never return and leave her in the town, so she had to follow him alive and dead.

In desperation, Yu Ye and Lin Xiaoruo carried their bags together and came to the mayor's house.

In a slightly spacious room, a swaying chaise longue leaned against a kind-faced old man.

Seeing the two brothers and sisters who came in, the old man didn't get up, only looked at the two of them with a smile, nodded and said, "Is this outfit leaving?" Okay, I had expected such a day, and it came quite quickly. ”

Yu Ye smiled slightly, and before he could speak, Lin Xiaoruo quickly took a few steps forward, squatted down beside the old mayor, put his hands on the old man's arms, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang, I'm going to break into that ghost forest with my brother, grandpa, you give us a ride~!"

The old man's arm shrank out of Lin Xiaoruo's hand like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and scolded with a smile: "Don't want to drag my old man into the water, I was able to break out back then, and it was a great luck to be able to come back here alive, this luck has already run out, and if I go again, it will be a death, if I don't go, I won't go!"

Lin Xiaoruo's hands froze there, and he turned his head to look at the night innocently.

Yu Ye put his hands in his trouser pockets, smiled, and said indifferently: "Xiao Ruo, Grandpa Huang doesn't dare to enter the forest again, but the general safety route has already been written down by me, let's take a look, I should be able to get out." ”

Looking at the old man, Yu Ye pulled out his hand and made a gesture, and said with a rare seriousness: "Thank you Grandpa Huang for taking care of me in the past few years, the kid will remember it, if one day, the younger generation has the ability, he will definitely go back to the town again, drive away all the beasts in the forest, and let the people in the town go out to see." ”

The old man smiled and nodded, waved his hand again, and said: "That forest, you don't have to toss, it's good, we are also a paradise here, the people in the town have been used to it for thousands of years, if there is really such a day, come back and see, this is also your home." As he spoke, he pointed to an iron sword and a wooden box placed on the wooden shelf in the corner of the room, and said: "You have that sword with you, so you have a sharp weapon to sharpen iron like clay to defend yourself, and there are some dried meat and gold coins that can be used outside in that box, maybe you can use it along the way, let's go, be careful." ”

......

Leaving the mayor's house, the siblings did not disturb anyone else in the town, and walked through the town's gates towards the great black forest in the distance.

"Brother, if you are really in danger, you will go alone and leave me alone. Lin Xiaoruo on the side suddenly said softly.

Holding her little hand, Youye pinched it a little harder, and said fiercely: "What nonsense, you want to go together, it's a big deal to finish together, you and I won't be fine, the beasts can't be killed, how can I mix outside in the future, I heard Old Man Huang talk about the excitement of the outside world, I haven't experienced it yet, I can't hang it again in this plane, it's too sorry for God's arrangement." ”

With a snort, Lin Xiaoruo bent her beautiful eyes and chuckled, and her mood suddenly became relaxed.
