With this touch, Shen Yan'er really touched a circle of deeply dented scars.
She shuddered, and suddenly realized that it was not a miracle but a miracle that she had survived so far. She stared at Xiao Hei blankly and nervously, and asked hurriedly, "Ah Zhen bit me, why didn't I become a walking corpse?" ”
It's clear that this question has stepped on the penalty zone. As soon as Shen Yan'er's words fell, Xiao Hei and Miao Pu's expressions became very strange.
"Why?" Shen Yan'er, who couldn't figure out why she hadn't turned into a walking corpse, was desperate for a reasonable explanation.
She stared at Xiao Hei, who had saved her, but Xiao Hei silently looked away. So she looked up at Miao Pu again, hoping that Miao Pu would answer her, but even Miao Pu twisted her head away and looked into the depths of the tunnel in the distance.
"What the hell is going on? Why don't you sue me? Their deliberate concealment made Shen Yan'er even more anxious, "Could it be that I will become a walking corpse soon?" ”
People who have been bitten by the walking corpse will become walking corpses, and Ah Zhen has not even escaped death if she has been pierced in the calf by the metal thorns that have been contaminated by the walking corpses, how can she be okay if she has been bitten alive?
The more Shen Yan'er thought about it, the more strange it became, and she was a little out of breath with nervousness. At this time, Miao Pu finally relented, glanced at Xiao Hei and said to Shen Yan'er, "You drank his blood." ”
In an instant, Shen Yan'er was stunned, and she didn't understand what Miao Pu meant. A panicked gaze fell on Blackie's face, and he found that he was looking at him with concern. In a panic, Shen Yan'er suddenly remembered the strange dream she had before waking up.
In the dream, he chased the figures of Niang and Ah Zhen out of the Shen family restaurant, and finally drowned in a black river. The unique smell of the river water, with its strong smell of herbs and blood, seemed to remain deep in her throat, and Shen Yan'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a retch.
She knew that Xiao Hei's blood was black, and she had drunk several sips of black river water in her dreams. Isn't that a dream, but a half-dreaming reality? Could it be that instead of the river water, she drank the blood of Xiao Hei?
Thinking of this, Shen Yan'er hurriedly raised her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth. Because I really don't have the strength, even this simple action is very difficult to do. The back of the hand that wiped the corner of the mouth left a faint black mark, which looked shocking.
Shen Yan'er was speechless for a while, her chaotic mind was full of clues, but she couldn't figure out why. She had known that Xiao Hei was a strange person, but she didn't expect him to be so strange that he could let herself survive being bitten by the walking corpse......
"Why is this happening?" Shen Yan'er trembled and grabbed Xiao Hei's hand, "Who are you?" What happens if you drink your blood? ”
It's a good thing to survive, but Shen Yan'er is not happy at all. A strong sense of foreboding invaded her, ruffled her chaotic thoughts, and her fierce heartbeat became like an out-of-rhythm drumbeat, reverberating heavily in her chest one after another.
"I didn't mean to deliberately hide your ......" Under Shen Yan'er's repeated questioning, Xiao Hei finally told the truth, "but our clan rules are like this." You can't reveal your identity to outsiders lightly, otherwise you will incur the disaster of the dead family. Before I left the village, I made a poisonous oath to the patriarch that if I revealed my identity, I would be severely punished by the clan rules......"
No wonder Xiao Hei has never said a word about his background, and even his name is a secret, it turns out that he is burdened with such a heavy responsibility. Shen Yan'er watched suspiciously, as he spoke every word seriously, her heartbeat speeding up with each of his emphasis. I was eager to know the truth, but I was suddenly a little scared to listen.
"But now that it's here, I can't hide it any longer. Yan'er ......" Xiao Hei said with an extremely strict expression, "I can't let you enter the palace draft." When we get out of the mass grave, I must take you back to the village to meet the patriarch. ”
The sudden request surprised Shen Yan'er and hesitated. She stared at Xiao Hei's solemn eyes in a daze, and she could see from his gaze how strict and sincere he had just said, and she could also have a premonition that if she refused, she would inevitably cause the consequences of being strict, but ......
"Why?" Shen Yan'er couldn't understand Xiao Hei's behavior. Why did I have to give up the draft and go with him to a village where I don't know where to meet the patriarch? What are you doing with him? What happens after you see it? Can I still return to the capital? A large number of questions exploded in Shen Yan'er's head at the same time, making her inexplicable.
"For you are now of the same race as we are. You can't live like an ordinary person, only the village can protect you. Forgive me for causing such consequences without your consent, but if I hadn't done that at the time, you would have died......"
"So I advised you a long time ago, it's better to let her die there for a hundred years, how to end this situation now?" Miao Pu's understatement lightly interrupted Xiao Hei's narrative full of struggles and contradictions.
Her tone was so lofty, so indifferent and ruthless, Shen Yan'er felt as if she had been splashed with a basin of ice water, and her body trembled slightly.
In other words, if it weren't for Xiao Hei's insistence, he would have died a long time ago, and now he is repaying Xiao Hei with this extra life, and it is understandable that he will do whatever he lets him do.
Besides, from Xiao Hei's words, he should have made such a strange request with good intentions and wanted to protect himself, so there was no reason to refuse him......
But after talking for so long, Shen Yan'er still couldn't grasp the essentials, and she was still confused. She looked at Xiao Hei anxiously and kept asking, "Who are you?" Where is the stockade? What happens if I don't go? ”
Shen Yan'er's series of questions made Xiao Hei show a gloomy expression. He looked at Shen Yan'er with sad eyes and stopped speaking for a long time. And Miao Pu on the side said lightly with a somewhat silent attitude: "He has made it very clear just now that he has violated the clan rules and will be punished." If I can bring you back, maybe there will be some turnaround, otherwise he will die, and you, eighty percent, will not survive. ”
Shen Yan'er's heart sank.
This time she finally understood, and her stunned expression suddenly stiffened. Although I still can't figure out the ins and outs, I already know the strictness of the problem.
She slowly turned her gaze to Xiao Hei, and after calming down a little, she seemed to have accepted the status quo, and said helplessly: "If this is the case, what choice do I have?" But, before I promise you, can you tell me all the qiē carefully? ”
