It wasn't until King Xin's party entered the city and the city gate was tightly closed that Ah Zi and Ah Brown walked down from the hill and returned to their small temple to nibble on venison.

Today is the day when King Xin comes to Lixin City, and the city should be very lively now, right?

Ah Zi thought about it, and shook his head with a smile: Whatever, those excitements, what does it have to do with her, she has her Ah Brown enough.

In the following days, Ah Zi was as happy as a fairy in the sky.

Every day as soon as the sun rose from the foot of the mountain, she would get up and go to the neighborhood to pick some fruit while waiting for Ah Brown to return from hunting. And Ah Brown is really an expert in hunting, and has never let her down, from rabbits and pheasants, to small deer and goats, and even once, Ah Brown directly carried a wild boar back.

Every time Ah Zi watched Ah Brown come back with food, she had a proud smile on her face, and she always felt that Ah Brown was like his patron saint, giving her a happy place to live when she was most helpless.

In addition to being responsible for some daily chores at home, Ah Zi also feels that she is the language teacher of Ah Zi.

Ah Brown's learning ability is actually very fast, and he already has a certain amount of language skills, and in a few days, he can already fully speak some daily conversations.

Every day before going to bed, Ah Zi would bow down in front of the statue of the Sacred Heart Niangniang, thanking her for bringing such a home to herself, and praying that she could bless herself and Ah Brown to live happily like this forever.

However, it seems that such prayers did not reach the mother.

It was about a month after Ah Zi and Ah Brown met, Ah Brown suddenly seemed to be a different person, worried all day long, going out to hunt and getting less and less, and finally simply returned empty-handed. During his time in the temple, he sometimes paced restlessly in the temple, sometimes sitting in the courtyard, staring up at the moon without saying a word.

Ah Zi was worried that he was sick, so he asked a few times, but he kept silent about his own affairs, and a few times he was in a hurry, and he even went out with a gun directly, and didn't come back until late at night.

This state lasted for a few days, until the night before the full moon, Ah Brown suddenly disappeared without warning, and Ah Zi searched the entire mountain but could not find him.

I thought that he was just going out angrily like a few days ago, and he would naturally come back in the middle of the night, but until dawn the next day, Ah Zi didn't wait for him.

Ah Zi began to be surrounded by a deep sense of fear.

She was afraid that Ah Brown would really ignore her, afraid that she would return to a lonely and lonely life from now on, and she was even more afraid that Ah Brown would have an accident because she was out hunting, or she was bumped into and taken away by patrolling officers and soldiers.

She wanted to go farther away to find him, but she was worried that he would suddenly come back on his own and not find herself, and she was also worried that something would happen to the other party as she was now, so she went out to look for him again, and finally missed it.

In this way, in the midst of contradictions and anxiety, Ah Zi survived a day and a night, she couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, so she simply knelt at the feet of the Sacred Heart Niangniang all night, begging her to do well and bring Ah Brown back to herself.

It was a silent night.

The mountains are surprisingly quiet.

There were no birds, no insects at night, not even a hint of wind.

Some are just a full moon like a jade plate, illuminating the entire mountain forest as if it were day.

Woo!

Suddenly, there was a howl that resounded through the sky in the distance, and the cry was so clear that it seemed to make the gods in the sky hear this cry as well.

Ah Zi was frightened by the long roar that pierced the night sky, and fell in front of the statue of the Sacred Heart Niangniang.

She sat up straight again, and subconsciously turned her head to look outside the temple, but only saw the shadows of the trees outside, and the dazzling moonlight behind the shadows of the trees.

Is that the scream you just made the legendary man-eating monster?

She had heard it on the other side of the city wall before, but it was the first time she had heard it so clearly and so clearly.

She touched her arm, only to feel that the hairs on her body stood on end.

Where the hell are you?

After a long night, Ah Zi had never looked forward to seeing the dawn of the morning sun so much as now.

When the first rays of sunlight entered the temple, Ah Brown's figure also appeared outside the door.

Ah Zi turned around, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She wanted to step forward and hug Ah Brown tightly, and she wanted to lose her temper at him, telling him how worried she was in the past two days.

However, before she could say a word, she saw Ah Brown fall straight forward.

Ah Zi hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, only to find that he was hot all over his body and his eyes were dazed.

She used all her strength to carry him to her sleeping place, and in a hurry to fetch water, she put fur on Ah Brown's head, and kept cleaning his body, and kept guarding his side all the time.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Ah Brown finally woke up and looked at Ah Zi with a tired face.

Ah Zi hurriedly stepped forward, held Ah Brown's hand tightly, and asked softly, "Are you awake?" What's uncomfortable? Hungry or not? I'm going to cook you something to eat? ”

Ah Brown shook his head effortlessly, opened his mouth, and squeezed out a few words for a long time: "Ah Zi, I'm sorry...... Makes you worried. ”

Ah Zi's vision blurred, shook his head desperately, and stepped forward to hug Ah Brown tightly.

"Ah Brown, promise me that no matter what happens, don't leave me, okay?"

"Well, I promise you."

Regarding what happened in the two days when Ah Brown disappeared, Ah Brown didn't mention it again, and Ah Zi didn't ask anymore.

Everything was finally back to normal, and her Ah Brown returned, and life was still going on as before.

It wasn't until a month later that they saw that they were about to celebrate a second full moon night.

Ah Zi faintly began to worry in her heart.

And sure enough, as she expected, everything that happened before happened again as if going back in time.

Ah Brown began to be restless again, and sometimes stared at the moon for the night.

The night before the full moon, Ah Zi hugged Ah Brown tightly, wanting to keep him.

"If you have any suffering, tell me, no matter what it is, I am willing to share it with you, but please don't say goodbye like last time, and endure everything alone."

However, Ah Zi's words, Ah Brown couldn't listen to them anymore, he pulled Ah Zi's hand away, stood up stiffly, and walked outside with difficulty.

On the night of the full moon, Ah Zi knelt in front of the temple and heard the howl in the distance again; The next day, the sun shone down on the mountain stream, and Ah Brown came back quietly again.

Ah Zi silently stayed by Ah Brown's side. This time, her eyes were no longer as flustered as last time, but a little more determined.

Ah Brown woke up and squeezed out a smile at Ah Zi.

"Ah Brown, tell me, are you the rumored man-eating monster? On the night of the full moon, did you make that terrible cry? ”

"You...... Is it an orc? ”
