Chapter 37: The Young Man in the Woods

"That boy in front, please wait a minute. Xiao Hei sat on top of Erha's head and shouted loudly.

The boy with the hatchet stopped and turned around.

The young man was dressed in animal skins, and his body was a little abnormally white.

Seeing the movement of the grass, he slowly clenched the wood knife, his face full of vigilance.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out of the grass, and the boy raised his firewood knife and made a gesture to cut it.

Seeing that the firewood knife was about to fall on the dog's head, Xiao Hei hurriedly pulled Erha's ears and made a sharp turn and stopped to the side.

"If you don't see it clearly, you took the wrong medicine!" Xiao Hei said angrily as he looked at the young man.

The young man's eyes were a little wooden, and he didn't answer Xiao Hei's words, but continued to raise the firewood knife.

Xiao Hei was really angry by the young man's actions: "It's still hard, I can't beat those mercenaries, can't I beat you little kid?" Erha, beat him!"

"Wang!"

Erha jumped lightly to the side, dodged the attack of the firewood knife, and threw himself at the boy with his mouth wide open.

The boy is only 13 or 4 years old, and he is as tall as Erha who stands upright.

Seeing Erha rushing over, the young man's eyes were a little flustered, and it was too late to cut the firewood knife again, so he could only protect his head with his other empty hand.

Erha pounced on the young man's body, and the young man's body slowly leaned back, but the pain that the young man expected did not come.

Boom!

The boy fell to the ground, his gaze slowly shifting from the clear blue sky to the large, bald dog licking his arm, and a small mouse hanging in the air by the dog's ears above the dog's head.

"Aren't you a monster?" the boy looked at Xiao Hei hanging in the air, his voice was calm.

Hearing this, Xiao Hei was so angry that his head was about to explode, and his two hind legs kicked a few times in a row, and finally kicked to Erha's side face, climbed onto Erha's bald top again, and looked at the young man condescendingly: "You don't care if I'm a monster or not, anyway, we don't eat people!"

"Oh. The young man's body moved twice, trying to stand up, but his body was suppressed by Erha and failed: "Can you let me go?"

Hearing what the young man said, Xiao Hei was about to laugh angrily: "Let go, did you hit your head by the door?" You wanted to kill us just now, but now you don't have a word of sorry, you just want us to let you go, is it so easy?"

As soon as Xiao Hei finished speaking, the young man immediately said, "I'm sorry. ”

From beginning to end, the boy's poker face has not changed.

Xiao Hei didn't see the sincerity of the boy's apology, but it was not a matter to press the boy like this, Xiao Hei still let Erha let go of the boy.

After Erha let go of the boy, the boy stood up again and patted the weeds on his clothes as if nothing had happened.

"What's your name?" asked Xiao Hei, standing above Erha's head.

"Mullen. ”

I don't know if it's Xiao Hei's delusion, it thinks that this boy named Maren doesn't even have any ups and downs in his voice except for a poker face forever.

"Laugh one. "Little underworld.

The corners of Mullen's stiff mouth tugged slightly.

"Forget it. Xiao Hei waved his paws with a disgusted expression: "Your smile is too ugly." ”

Mullen immediately regained the expression on his poker face.

After a while, Xiao Hei asked, "Did you see a pillar of fire in this forest yesterday?"

Maren shook his head.

"Then do you know about the Wolf Mercenary Regiment?" asked Xiao Hei again.

Mullen's eyes lowered slightly, his hand holding the wood knife trembled slightly, and he kept repeating a sentence: "They are devils, they all deserve to die, they deserve to die." ”

Xiao Hei can now understand that Mullen is not only a poker face, but also a psychopath.

plucked a dog hair, which was a signal to make Erha move.

Xiao Hei wanted to find someone to ask about the situation again and stay by Ma Lun's side, Xiao Hei was really afraid that one night, he would be cut down by Ma Lun to make a braised hamster.

Erha turned around and just took two steps, when Ma Lun suddenly spoke: "Wait, are you looking for me for something?"

Xiao Hei didn't even reply before replying, "No." ”

"You are lost, I can take you out, this forest, except that I sometimes come to hunt, basically no one will come. "Marendo.

Xiao Hei tugged at the dog's ears and carried Mullen on his back for a long time before turning back: "You didn't lie to me?"

Maren shook his head.

"That. Xiao Hei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then! ”

Mullen nodded immediately.

Looking at Mullen's mechanical movements, Xiao Hei shook his head helplessly.

It's too much effort to communicate.

Mullen led the way in front, and Xiao Hei sat on top of Erha's head and followed slowly.

Because he was bored, Xiao Hei chatted with Maren without a match.

"You went into the mountains to chop wood?"

"No, I'm here to kill a deer. ”

"Then why did you take the wood knife?"

"The deer knife was robbed. ”

....

"Someone robbed it. ”

"The people of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Regiment. ”

....

"What else did they do besides snatching knives?"

"Kill my parents. ”

....

Before he knew it, Xiao Hei had already talked to death.

After a long period of silence, Xiao Hei couldn't hold back anymore and continued to ask, "Do you want a deer knife?" I can give it to you as a thank you for taking us out of the mountains and forests. ”

Maren stopped, turned around, looked at Xiao Hei for a while, said a good word, and then continued to lead the way.

After about two hours, the surrounding woods were thinning, and a dilapidated log cabin appeared in front of Xiao Hei's eyes, the fence outside the hut had collapsed and mixed with the dirt, and some wood was piled up under the eaves.

Mullen stopped: "I'm home." ”

Blackie tilted his head to look at Mullen's back.

Mullen turned around and pointed to the dirt path in front of the wooden house: "Follow this road, and in about half a day, you will be able to get out of the mountain." ”

After saying that, Mullen immediately turned around and entered the mountain.

Xiao Hei's dry stomach made a fuss at the right time, and it hurriedly stopped Ma Lun: "It's all at your house, don't you invite us to sit down?"

Maren turned his head again, looked at Xiao Hei and nodded: "Okay!"

Push open the wooden door and enter the house.

Xiao Hei's face showed an expression that was really like this, and the four walls of the house were no longer enough to describe the environment he was currently seeing.

There wasn't even a bed, just some hay on the ground.

Leaning against the wall were two sets of white-washed animal skins, and a blackened sack next to Mai.

Xiao Hei hesitated for a long time before he said to Maren, "Do you have anything to eat?" We wandered around the forest all night, and we were hungry. ”

"Yes!"

Mullen grabbed two black objects from his sackcloth pocket and threw them over.

Xiao Hei and Erha, one for each person.

The black thing rolled around on the ground a few times, and when it came to a stop when it hit the doorrail, Little Black realized that it was a black loaf.

In its mind, brown bread is not a good thing.

However, he couldn't withstand the torture of hunger, so Xiao Hei hugged the black bread and nibbled on two bites.

It was cold and hard, and the sharp teeth of the little black only left two white marks on the bread.

If it had to choose between this brown bread and grass, it would rather choose to eat grass.

The disgusted foot was lifted on the black bread, and the black bread did not move at all, but Xiao Hei screamed and rolled on the spot with his legs in his arms.

But Erha hugged the black bread and gnawed it, that is, it couldn't speak, otherwise it would definitely say, what kind of thing is this? It's so hard to dismantle.
