After they escaped purgatory, it was already dawn. I don't know how far I ran, until the sun completely rose into the sky, the birds chirped endlessly, my legs were tired and weak, and the whole person almost vomited out their internal organs, Qi Huan knew that they should be safe.

Liu Shenghan kept coughing, afraid that he had inhaled too much cool breeze when running. A few people eased for a while in the shade of a tree, raised their heads, and looked at the endless mountain forest, as if everything they had experienced at night was a dream. But the tired bodies and the blood stains on the weapons told them that everything was reality.

Including the fact that Blue Amber was taken away.

Bai Ya's face was not good. He knew that his friends had made the right choice not to let him fight the abominable spider. Even if he insisted, the result would be nothing more than a defeat for both sides, not to mention the depression where the fire was even more fierce, and he would not be able to get out. However, given that he didn't come up with a better way, even if he wanted to blame his friends, it was just an incompetent anger. He stomped his foot hard and put the knives back.

"Kid, are you okay?"

Liu Shenghan leaned over and touched Mingming's cheek. The wound on his face had finally scabbed, but it was still a little sticky. Liu Sheng guessed that there was probably an ingredient in it that prevented blood clotting. He stood there dumbfounded, motionless, like a wooden man, and didn't say anything when asked. Qi Huan and Jun Aoyan also looked at him at a loss, not knowing how he could recover his spirits.

"Don't you think...... Is it too quiet here? ”

Bai Ya suddenly said this. Qi Huan looked around, and in the verdant green of the mountains, the chirping of insects and birds continued to be heard. By daybreak, they had already become choirs, and there was still the sound of birds flapping their wings and the cries of the wind.

"It's not quiet at all, is it?"

"There is no sound of spiders, he said......" Liu Shenghan knew what Bai Ya was referring to, "There was no sound of burning flames, and there was no smell. I don't think we've gone that far. ”

Jun Aoyan was groping with his blade distressedly. Hearing this, she also felt that something was wrong: "Yes, how can there be no sound at all." ”

Liu Shenghan said, "Probably, that guy sealed the enchantment." ”

"He hasn't been burned yet?"

"It shouldn't be that easy to ......"

"Isn't that a waste of time?" Qi Huan was also unwilling, "We also said that we would go back and look for it." In this case, there is nothing to be done...... No, since he was the gatekeeper of the bird god, would he give the amber to Garuda? ”

"Quite possibly." Liu Shenghan pondered, "However, there is no guarantee. ”

"Hmm......"

At this moment, Ming Ming seemed to come back to her senses. He looked up sharply and looked at the few people who were at a loss, a little curious.

"What's wrong with you? All of them have a sad face. ”

"I'm not blaming you."

Bai Ya muttered, but he didn't mean to be held accountable. Anyway, in the final analysis, it's my own ability that can't even look at a stone, and I can't grab it back. Ming Ming blinked, looking innocent.

"What's wrong with me? I'm just-"

"You're alright!" Qi Huan suddenly rubbed a handful of this kid's white hair, "Scared us to death, you little thing." ”

"I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just that she's hungry, and she's hungry and she has to eat......"

"Silky? Is it your sister? You ate spider eyes, do you remember? Liu Shenghan asked, "That thing is eighty percent poisonous." But now you're safe and sound, why? ”

"Hmm...... When she is hungry, she eats, and if she has nothing to eat, she eats everything. Ming Ming opened her arms and gestured, "If I borrow my body, if I am injured, she will get angry and come out." I think she ate her eyes as fruit, and the fake fruit was poisonous, and she thought I was hurt, so she came out to save me. ”

They suddenly understood why the people of the small mountain village were so shy of the child. If they hadn't seen Ming Ming deal with monsters with their own eyes, they would probably have regarded him as a crazy stinky boy like the original mountain people.

"That amber can control things we can't see." Qi Huan tried to ask, "How did you, your sister, do that?" How did she use that thing to get the spiders to do her bidding? ”

"I don't know."

Ming Ming said honestly, with sincerity written on her face. It made them all a little helpless. At this time, Liu Shenghan squatted down in front of him and asked in a soft voice like a child:

"How much do you remember about your sister? Can you tell us? ”

"Why are you interested in her?" Ming Ming tilted her head, "It's really strange, I used to want to say it, but everyone didn't let me say it." They say that I make up stories, tell nonsense, babble, or am possessed by something unclean. But it's not something unclean. When my mother was still with me, she asked the witch doctor in the village to perform some exorcism ritual for me, and I asked her to hide it, and none of them could find her. ”

"Where is her grave?" Bai Ya asked casually, "Where is it buried?" Don't be a ghost. ”

"It's not a ghost." Liu Shenghan is very sure, "There should be hidden secrets here that we don't know, complex hidden secrets." ”

Ming Ming said that there is no cemetery in the city. It was buried in his heart, in his belly.

As soon as he said this, several people understood. In that mountain village with scarce materials, a family of widows who have been looked down upon and bullied, this little bit of meat, even if it was once flesh and blood, means nothing to the mother and son. Mother didn't eat her, because it was really a very small lump of meat, and she kept it all for Mingming.

"It's not ...... Incomprehensible. ”

Qi Huan said this with difficulty, and Ao Yan also nodded. They all know that in times of war and famine, cannibalism is a common occurrence.

"Originally, my mother didn't know whether to eat it or not."

"Indeed, such a thing ......"

"She's afraid I'm poisoned too."

A few people didn't sound right. Didn't the grandmother in the village say that his sister was starved to death?

"Why poison?" Liu Shenghan keenly asked, "The villagers said that she starved to death. ”

"It's poisoned. My mother won't let me talk nonsense to the people in the village, but you are not from the village, I think, you should be able to say it, right? ”

"Who poisoned it?"

"Wow herself."

"Herself?"

"Hmm." Ming Ming nodded, "There are bad people in the village who lied to her, saying that there is fruit to eat on the other side of the mountain, and let her go with him." I asked, "There's food there, why don't you go?" Every household is short of things, do you want her to be a shield? That guy is very annoying, my mother said that he is a 'stick', which means that he is alone and cannot find a wife. I guess there is no one in his house to cook, and he is afraid that the monsters will eat him, so he asked my sister to explore the way. He glared at me and left, but when he got home, my sister kept crying out that she was hungry. She always thought about the fruit on the other side of the hill. ”

Bai Ya had a calm face, and his face was even more ugly than before. Aoyan frowned and asked what happened later.

"She was so hungry in the middle of the night that she couldn't stand it, but where was there food at home? kept shouting that she was hungry and crying all the time, and I cried with her, but my mother couldn't coax me. Eventually, we both fell asleep from exhaustion. When I woke up, I was gone. I remembered what the bad man had said, so I told my mother, and she took me to the other side of the mountain to look for her, and found her by the river. She was soaked in the water and was a little fat. ”

"She's ......"

"She's dead. My mother said that if she can't speak or move, she is dead, and she can't speak or move in the future. I saw that there were no fruit trees nearby, or it was further up the river, and she was washed down. When we got home, we saw that her mouth was purple and her tongue was black. My mother said that she had eaten something bad and was poisoned. She can't just jump into the river to get fruit...... She can't swim, so it's possible to drown. My mother said that she was about to be a full ghost, which is a good thing. But what about me? I'm so hungry, I said, I want to be a dead ghost too, and my mother gave me a big mouth. ”

“……”

"I'm still hungry—my mother suddenly said, go make me broth. I'm so happy, I've been waiting for a long time and still haven't. So I went to the kitchen to look. My mother said the kitchen was dangerous and she wasn't allowed to go in, but I was so hungry. I smelled a scent, something was boiling in the pot, and there was a ball on the ground. I went to pick it up and play with it, and found out that it was the head of the carapace. My mother seemed to be frightened, and suddenly she hugged me and cried. In the end, she said she couldn't help it, and asked me not to tell the villagers. I'll listen to my mother. ”

This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to say more. As for what happened in Mingming's family, all this is clear. Liu Shenghan said that it may be the problem of the fruit. The flowing water in that place may have come from the demonic realm, and the poisonous fruit may have any effect, but she doesn't know. The soul of the mob is fixed on Ming Ming's body, they are one body and two souls.

It's a half-demon.

Several people walked the mountain road wordlessly, and no one spoke. Qi Huan killed a hare. While eating this upcoming lunch, Jun Aoyan asked in a low voice:

"Shenghan, you said this is a ...... Kind of ghost, right? If she doesn't go to reincarnation, isn't she afraid of becoming a powerful ghost and harming people? ”

"The soul of a child is clean, unless, it is a tragic death that has been framed—they know who harmed them. I don't know if the bad guy Ming Ming said has been punished, and I don't want to ask. However, since she is protecting her brother like this, she should ......"

Ming Ming has proved in practice that he is indeed not a drag oil bottle. But everyone else preferred him not to make a move. Now, they are ready to use their own strength to find the bird god Garuda.

They slept a little and made up for sleep. The afternoon sun was still fierce, but they had to keep on their way. As he walked, there were huge shadows skimming the ground. Bai Ya raised his head and saw that the sky was clear, and there were no clouds. Turning again, he saw the shadow of a large bird.

It was really a very large bird, with a black silhouette wrapped in orange light.

Suddenly, as if noticing below, it reversed course and fell back into the woods not far from them.
