27F, Shantaka Village
Night.
Jack the horse carried his master and mistress as he headed towards the brightly lit village in front of him.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault......" Mo Ruyan's guilty voice sounded behind Gary.
"Okay, okay, this apology, I'm almost hearing my ears callous. Gary grabbed the reins and drove the horses forward, "There's a village ahead, and it's easy to figure out where this is. It's not late, we can rest here for one night and then ......"
As he spoke, Gary chuckled.
"Fortunately, listen to you, carry all your valuables with you, and we still have money to live in the hotel. Remember to cover your face later, so as not to have a misunderstanding last time. ”
Mo Ruyan replied softly.
Earlier, the horses were frightened and fled, and it took Gary a long time to catch up. But when Mo Ruyan was saved, they also found themselves lost.
I walked back with my own memory, but I came here.
Before walking to the village, I happened to bump into an uncle hunter who had returned late.
Uncle Hunter was a warm-hearted man, and when he heard that they had lost their way because of the robbers' escape, he took them in without saying a word. The hunter's uncle also has a wife and two children, one older and one younger.
The older one was a ten-year-old girl, a little shy and shy. The younger one is a seven-year-old boy, lively and cute.
Mo Ruyan wanted to get close to these two children, but she was afraid that her "witch" appearance would scare them, so she didn't dare to get closer.
When she saw the two children, she thought of Moran and Mokell, and held back the tears that welled up in her eyes.
Two of them, one missing, the other behaving strangely...... Mo Ruyan didn't know what to do.
Gary naturally didn't know what Mo Ruyan was thinking, but the news he heard from the hunter's family was enough to shock him.
The village is called Shantaka Village, which is a small village on the edge of the deep forest of Shantaka, and the total population of the whole village does not exceed thirty.
The deep forest of Shantaka is surrounded by mountains, and the location of the village is the only exit from the deep forest.
Moran and Ah Xuan entered from the north of the deep forest of Shantaka, while Gary and Mo Ruyan went far away to the east side of the deep forest.
However, according to the hunters, although this village is next to the deep forest of Shantaka, they prefer to go to the small hill of Takarin on the other side. And the reason is exactly what Gary said to Moran...... Fog and witches.
At the mention of the witch, Uncle Hunter's expression sank, as if he was afraid of something. Gary inquired in detail, but got something he had never heard of before......
The witch who thought she had been eliminated more than 20 years ago has reappeared.
Recently, there have been people missing in the village, which has caused panic, in fact, before this, there were hundreds of people in the village, but because of the disappearance, everyone hurriedly moved away. And the hunter's uncle's family is also preparing to move out of this place in the near future.
Uncle Hunter advised them to leave this place early tomorrow morning, and not to stay here for long.
Gary thanked the family, and then stayed in the guest room with Mo Ruyan temporarily.
It is said to be a guest room, but it is actually a warehouse that has been cleaned up, and there is not much space in it, and a temporary board bed is made, barely able to sleep two people.
"Rest early, I'll be back tomorrow. With Jack here, he should be able to get there by the agreed time. Gary said.
Mo Ruyan answered, and then fell silent. When Gary saw that Mo Ruyan stopped talking, he blew out the lights in the room.
But as soon as he lay down, he heard Mo Ruyan whispering in his ear.
"Before leaving, buy some fresh food from this family, Moran must be hungry......"
Gary really wanted to ask now, what happened between you and your daughter, but remembered Mo Ruyan's somewhat unreasonable answer before, so he swallowed the question.
- Let's go ask Moran......
-
"Ahh
Moran, who was guarding the campfire, suddenly sneezed.
"Miss Mo, but it's cold? Xuan will add more fire to the fire. Ah Xuan said, and then added some firewood.
"Thank you. Moran said, wrapping his clothes tighter.
Moran looked around, the sky had completely darkened, but the fog had not dissipated, and their visible range was only near the fire, if it was daylight, it might be better, at least they could see the outline of a mountain on one side...... That's where they're going.
Moran hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "From just now, I always felt that someone was watching us from the dark......"
After saying that, she quickly shook her head and looked at the wolves that had crawled down to rest.
"Maybe it's just a delusion. Under this thick fog, even a beast can't see clearly......"
Ah Xuan frowned and said, "It's not a secret, Xuan also felt this feeling of being watched." ”
As if to echo Ah Xuan's words, as soon as the words fell, a cold wind suddenly rose, and a few strands of broken hair were blown in front of Mo Lan's eyes.
Moran reached out and tried to re-remove the hairpin.
Whoosh –
Moran had just taken off her four-leaf clover headdress when she saw a white shadow sweep over her head.
When he came back to his senses, the hair ornament in Moran's hand was still missing, and when he looked up, he found a snow-white owl standing in the treetops over there, with golden feathers on his body, looking ......
It looks like it's worth a lot of money.
Moran thought to himself.
And the four-leaf clover hair ornament was held in the mouth by this owl.
The owl's head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and he stared at them with a pair of golden eyes.
The kernels of its eyes are black, but the whites of its eyes are golden.
The wolves were awakened by the owl's alarm, and they were instantly on alert, all of them grinning at the white owl, and a threatening sound came out of their throats.
"I guess that's the little guy who was staring at us just now. Moran couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes......" Ah Xuan's brows were still tightened.
Moran picked up the rabbit meat that had been left in his hand, lifted it up, and shook it in front of the white owl.
"There's meat here~ Be obedient and give me back the hair ornament. ”
But I don't know what's going on, the white owl still looks at them coldly, which makes Moran suddenly have an illusion......
That's a look at an idiot.
Ah Xuan touched a stone and held it in his hand.
But before Ah Xuan could make a move, the white owl sensed his intentions, spread its wings, and flew towards the depths of the mist.
The wings spread, and the golden feathers on the white owl's body were strangely connected to form a line of seven stars.
Mo Lan just wanted to chase after him, but he heard Ah Xuan behind him whispering......
"Seven-star long-winged owl?"
In a moment of stunned effort, the white owl has disappeared.
"That's the name of this bird?" Moran asked, looking back to see Xuan's puzzled expression.
"It should be ......"
"Nice name. Moran smiled and said, "It looks like your memory has regained a little more, congratulations." ”
Ah Xuan replied lightly, and the uneasiness in his heart lingered.
