The sun is rising again in Greentown, the birds are back in the sky, and the heroes are back, this is the voice of everyone in Greentown. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoPeople gathered at the gate of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city watched vigilantly from the city tower, until the old man Dorjee raised the cage in his hand and shook the wolf child who was sleeping because of fatigue inside, and then opened the city gate with joy and greeted their hero happily.
But the three masters of Dole, Doffey, and Cynthia, who entered the city, not only did not show the ecstasy of killing the monster, but even the old man Dorjee who was holding the cage of the monster was frowning, with a serious and embarrassed expression. Amid the cheers of everyone, the four of them silently walked into the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Meng Ma greeted him happily and held the hands of the four of them tightly:
"Welcome all heroes to hunt successfully, I specially held a banquet in the house for you to catch the wind and go to the dust."
After saying that, he didn't care about the faces of the four of them, and pulled them to the banquet hall in the city lord's mansion.
None of the four people moved, Cynthia stepped forward to peel off the city lord Meng Ma and dragged her hands strongly, put her hands on her chest, and bent down respectfully:
"Lord of the City, we didn't hunt him, we just brought him back alive, I hope you will make a decision after reading it."
Cynthia took the wooden cage from the old man Dorjee and showed the wolf child in front of the city lord Meng Ma. Meng Ma lifted the hair on his forehead and looked closer, the wolf child had been treated by Cynthia and a few people last night, and his whole body was clean, and he no longer had the dirt he had seen before, terrifying. Now in Meng Ma's eyes, he is a cute child carved in pink.
Meng Ma was startled, turned around and shouted at Dorjee:
"Is this what people call a monster? Don't mess around! ”
Cynthia reluctantly said to Meng Ma, the city lord with an incredulous face:
"But that's the way it is, this kid ......"
The sleeping wolf child seemed to be disturbed by the outside sound, shook his head dissatisfiedly, he woke up from his deep sleep, a pair of purple eyes looked around in confusion, suddenly he remembered the events of last night, and immediately lay down, arched his back, and tore his teeth that had become sharp from years of hunting, making an offensive defensive form. He struggled in his cage in anger and yelled at the crowd around him.
The wolf child's awakening interrupted Cynthia's words, but his performance frightened Meng Ma a lot, and Meng Ma trembled and stretched out his finger to point at the wolf child jumping up and down in the cage:
"This, this, this ......"
Dole and Duffy glanced at each other, and they were also a little helpless, and said in a heavy tone:
"This child was raised by wolves, and he is the wolf king of the wolves."
Meng Ma was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't accept such a huge amount of information, he slowly moved his fat body, regardless of his gorgeous robe, and sat on the threshold of the bedroom in disregard of his own image, and couldn't stop spitting out some words in his mouth:
"The Imperial Constitution stipulates that any child under the age of seven who commits murder or other crimes, even if he collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, may be pardoned. This kid is so special, but he's really human, but he'......"
Meng Ma looked at the four of Cynthia sluggishly, and said a little helplessly:
"Master, this kid, what to do."
Cynthia also lowered her head helplessly, and the four of them stood in the courtyard for a day, and the originally warm sunlight turned into a cold night. The city lord of Green City was still worried about this, but in the distance, some people were already looking forward to the arrival of the child.
In the depths of the wilderness, in the heart of a volcano, a castle standing in the midst of flames and desert. In the empty hall, a black-robed man stood in front of the throne in the center, stretching out his hand and rubbing it carefully, his actions full of nostalgia and joy.
A black crow flew in from outside the door, landed on the ground and turned into a human figure, the black shadow knelt down on one knee and bowed behind the black-robed man, the black-robed man carefully wiped the last piece of dust off the seat, and then slowly turned around and looked at the black shadow kneeling on the ground:
"Crow, is the message accurate?"
The black shadow knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:
"Boss, it's confirmed, it's that kid, but it's ......"
"But what?" The black-robed man said with a little joy in his voice:
"Crow, you never slurred when you spoke."
The black shadow knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth, and still spoke:
"From the information I got, that child has been raised by wolves for six years, and has lost his human ability, and his subordinates are afraid of ......"
"Hehehe."
The black man looked out the window at the moon, the only view in the wilderness, and his hoarse voice let out a laugh, especially terrifying in the darkness:
"What are you afraid of, isn't it nice that wolves are our master's most loyal servants, and they will take care of them for the six years before we arrived?"
The black-robed man walked slowly towards the door, and in the darkness he spread his black wings hidden behind him:
"Black Crow, you shouldn't doubt our master."
The black-robed man flew into the air, leaving a voice in the hot air:
"It's time, it's time for the master to go home."
A new round of sun has risen, and it is a new day in Green City. The inhabitants of the city have not had the same fear as they used to be since they were hunted down by the monsters in the jungle yesterday. Early in the morning, the vendors did not have to hide and fear when the monsters in the jungle would enter the city to wreak havoc, they all set up their stalls on the side of the street early, shouting excitedly.
The women, carrying baskets, roamed the streets again, and began to talk to each other about whose man had a good job, whose hen had stolen her eggs, and whose child was the naughtiest......
Green City is once again prosperous and happy after four months of panic. But behind this happiness, the four people in the city lord's mansion were distressed for a day. As the supreme ruler of Green City, Meng Ma rubbed his dark circles, yawned, looked at Cynthia and the others with misty eyes and said:
"Since no one can decide whether this child will stay or not, then it is better to leave it to the residents who have been hurting to judge."
After Meng Ma made this decision, he turned to the guards beside him and said, "Go and gather the residents of the town in front of the City Lord's Mansion." ”
"Yes."
The guard replied and turned around and ran towards the outside of the City Lord's Mansion. After receiving the call of the city guards, the residents of the town gradually gathered in front of the city lord's mansion, and everyone looked at the closed gate, whispering to each other in each other's ears, their eyes full of confusion and doubt.
In the eyes of everyone's expectation, the closed gate of the City Lord's Mansion slowly opened, and the figures of Meng Ma and Cynthia several soul refiners gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes, City Lord Meng Ma looked at the expectation in the eyes of the town residents, he straightened his stomach in embarrassment, and slowly opened his mouth, but before he spit out a word, he closed his mouth again. After repeating this several times, he finally snatched the cage from the old man Dorjee and showed the wolf child in the cage in front of everyone:
"As you can see, this child has lost his parents for some unknown reason, and has been raised by wolves in the jungle for six years. In a recent investigation, the child also took the throne in the battle of the wolf pack, and the child ......"
A hunter in the crowd who had just recovered looked up and just looked at the wolf child who had opened his eyes, and the hunter saw that his purple eyes were as clear as if they were not impurities and gems, and suddenly he screamed like crazy and interrupted the city lord's shout:
"Those eyes, those eyes, the devil, the devil, he is the devil!"
While shouting, they fled from the crowd in panic, and kept pushing the onlookers to persuade them to flee quickly, not to be killed by the devil. The residents looked curiously at the child trapped in the cage, with scrutiny in their eyes, the wolf child struggled angrily in the cage, this feeling came again, the smell of the hated sun, he opened his mouth full of fangs, and roared angrily at the residents, but no matter how he expressed his anger, it was useless, no matter what, he could not escape the wooden cage that bound him.
The residents were startled by such a wolf child, and everyone fled backwards suddenly, looking at the city lord with questioning in his eyes, and the city lord Meng Ma looked at everyone's questioning eyes in embarrassment, laughed twice, and said hard-headed:
"Well, according to the constitution of the Empire, any child under the age of seven can be forgiven for any sin, and this child has been tested for bones, and although he looks taller and stronger than children of the same age, the age of the bones shows that the child is indeed only six years old. So ......"
"So, is this little devil who killed so many innocent residents to survive under the provisions of the Constitution?"
Asked a child in the crowd who had lost his father in a monster hunt just a month ago.
City Lord Meng Ma nodded at the child with difficulty, the crowd was a little restless, no one wanted this disaster to live in their own town, Meng Ma looked at the faintly uneasy crowd, and continued to announce:
"Because the constitution doesn't stipulate how to deal with similar phenomena, I want to bring everyone together and discuss it together."
"If we insist on executing this child, it will definitely embarrass you, Lord Castle."
An old woman with a hoarse voice carried the vegetable basket in her hand, staggered to the front of everyone, the residents saw the old woman took the initiative to make way for her, she is the old man who lives in the most corner of the city, her two sons died in the defense of the castle, but she survived strongly, after taking care of the sons' funeral, but also actively engaged in the logistics work, brought a lot of help to the people in the town, and won the respect of the townspeople.
City Lord Meng Ma looked at the old woman and opened his mouth bitterly:
"Well, it might be a little difficult...... But if you insist on it, ...... Nothing. ”
Everyone looked silently at the old woman standing in front of the crowd. After a while, the old woman opened her mouth:
"If you can guarantee the safety of this child, throw him into the city and fend for himself!"
After speaking, the old woman carried her vegetable basket and staggered out of the crowd:
"In this way, it shouldn't embarrass the castle lord."
Meng Ma was silent for a while and looked at the silent crowd:
"If no one disagrees, do it."
When the people heard the answer of the lord of the city, they whispered under the city for a while and then dispersed in twos and twos, and went to go about their own business.
Meng Ma returned to the courtyard and shouted at Cynthia and the four:
"Master, is there any way to stop this wolf child from attacking the inhabitants?"
Old man Dorjee pondered for a while:
"Is this going to put this child in the city and leave him to fend for himself?"
"Nai."
City Lord Meng Ma nodded:
"It's just a decision made by the residents."
The old man Dorjee looked at the wolf child trapped in the cage:
"If that's the case, it's not impossible."
Three years later
The sun has risen again, and the warm sun is shining on the earth. The wolf child opened his eyes like this, and his beautiful purple eyes reflected the world, and he could no longer remember how many days and nights he had. Every day, I saw the sun rise in the early morning, waiting for the children's taunts, dragging my scarred body to find some scraps to fill my stomach.
It is said that the sun is a symbol of hope, but the wolf child really, really hates these, hates the sun. After a while, tears flowed from the wolf child's eyes. Something seemed to fall from the sky, dripping on his face and cold, and the wolf child lay on the ground like this, looking up at the sky, it turned out that it was snowing.
In the distance, the sound of children laughing and playing can be heard, and the sound gradually becomes clearer. It turned out that the playful child chased the snowflakes to the wolf child. One of the children who was playing a little older stood up bravely, grabbed the stone in his hand and threw it at the wolf child, saying:
"It's you, this monster, it's you, the adults say you killed those warriors!"
The innocent child is not yet able to distinguish between right and wrong, but only relies on the words and deeds of the adults to know the good and evil in this world, and when the child sees a person doing this, they also follow the child and throw stones at the wolf child, and they are still scolding.
The wolf child slumped on the ground and endured the pain alone, he struggled to climb up on the ground with his aching limbs, and in an aggressive gesture he showed his sharp fangs to the children, and he roared at the children in weakness but rage, which frightened the happy children who were playing, screaming and running away.
The wolf child who drove away the child collapsed to the ground again, more and more snowflakes fell in the sky, and the snow fell bigger and bigger, and many years of experience in the wild told the wolf child that if he was so scarred in the snow, he would have to freeze to death.
The wolf child struggled to get up from the snow with his near-unconscious consciousness, but the restraint of the shackles could not make him stand up on all fours like a wolf. The wolf child fell to the ground again, and he clearly felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and he had to find a safe haven to hide.
