Chapter Twenty-Three: Demons?
"This ······"
Twelve years of broken pieces of wood stuck in the dirt, and the blood of the villagers of Xion became one with the land that nurtured them, the black earth······
Walking into the enchantment, directly in front of Yuhua and Lalisi is the gate of Xion Village, the lively little village in their memory...... How lonely it is now.
The thatched houses were mottled with dried blood, and it was clear that the walls were densely marked with sharp cuts, and there were many intersecting paths in the village, but now it was too much to tell which one was which.
After a few steps through the gate, Lalise suddenly ran to what appeared to be a roadside vending van, but ...... It's already broken.
"I ...... Over here...... I've bought candy apples...... "Glais lowered her head and muttered, "I remember when my parents first brought me here, they bought a big candy apple here to make me quiet for a while......"
Yuhua sounded a little sad, but in order to alleviate the current atmosphere, he could only try to comfort him, "That's ...... That ......"
(Ahh I'm not going to comfort anyone! )
"What's wrong?" Lalise asked simply.
(How to say?) What would Tisya say if she spoke...... emm…… )
"Is that apple candy delicious?"
······
(Ahh What am I talking about, Tysya that idiot! )
Just when he was embarrassed, what Yuhua didn't expect was that Lalisi actually laughed out loud, this was the first time he saw Lalisi laugh.
"I'm fine! Don't worry! ”
"Oh~" Although he said so, he was still relieved in his heart!
The two of them walked along the only main road in the village, a bit like a giant centipede, and the path under its feet was its body, and the endless path was like the terrifying limbs, and the houses built on this basis were the shells of those that resisted foreign objects.
The shattered houses around it were clearly densely covered with knife marks and sword marks, and it was suspicious that no remaining corpses could be found anywhere, which was really confusing.
This...... It looks like an abandoned village......
Yuhua stopped, his hands were on his hips, his head hung down slightly, and his white hair was in front of him, revealing a very distressed expression.
"Lady ......"
“?”
"Have you ever met a demon here?"
"You...... How do you know? Lalise was stunned for a moment.
"Answer me!" Yu Hua shouted slightly in a strong tone.
"Oh!" It was the first time she had seen Yuhua, and she seemed to be very angry.
"When my father sent me to a safe place, he let me go home by myself, and I kept walking along that road, eating wild vegetables by the roadside when I was hungry, and drinking the occasional stream water when I was thirsty......" At this, Lalis's tone also weakened a little, "I walked like this for five days and five nights, and all I saw along the way was endless forests and many beasts. ”
Taking a breath, he continued, "But I didn't expect that all these difficulties did not defeat me, it was my own body that broke me, lack of water, alternating cold and heat, etc., which seemed to exceed the limits of my body, and on the sixth day, I fell on the road. ”
Yuhua looked at the current Lalisi, and actually regretted her attitude just now, and she was a little impulsive.
"Just when I was about to fall unconscious, a red-haired woman covered in blood and covered in bruises came out of the bushes next to me and asked me if I wanted to live."
"So you said you thought about it?" Yuhua interjected.
"Hmm!" Laliss replied with some shame.
"Ah······· I don't mean to look down on you, when life is in danger, it is human nature to want to continue to live, if it were me, I would answer the same thing. ”
Lalis's was a little flushed.
"What's wrong with you?"
"No······ It's okay. It's just that listening to you say this, I feel a lot more comfortable. ”
"And then? What about the red-haired woman, how do you know she's a demon? ”
"Oh! Well, it stands to reason that there is actually no difference between the appearance of the demon race and the appearance of the human race, but the red-haired forehead has black horns as long as two index fingers, and she exudes a very strong murderous aura, and her intuition tells me that she is the demon. ”
(Red hair, black horns, isn't it...... )
"Tell me more details!" Yuhua grabbed Lalis's shoulders and said with some urgency, "Does that red-haired woman have any other characteristics?" ”
"Think about it~" Lalisi unconsciously dragged her right elbow with her left arm, and then pressed her chin with her right fist, "That woman feels very charming!" emm… Yes, it's just very charming, and the skin is a little dark, woo~ I only remember so much! ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Yuhua probably had a number in his heart.
"Poof!" Yuhua suddenly laughed.
Yuhua's strange behavior startled Lalis.
"Sorry! Ah~ Haha, I just feel like you've changed a lot lately! emm…… I just feel like you've been so much more cheerful since you've been here! ”
(Humph!) )
"Oops! Don't go! ”
······
"Na~ Let's go back, okay! I'll give you carrots to eat, okay? ”
At this moment, Ah Bai was sitting on Hua Kai's shoulder and complaining from time to time.
Due to Tisya's restless request, Hua Kai and Ah Bai were also forced to be pulled out at night, and the location of Hum Village was originally in a relatively remote place in the human world, not to mention this more remote forest, so this directly led to the extreme cold of the surrounding air.
"Don't complain! With such a large forest, there will definitely be a lot of treasures that cannot be found! ”
"But ......"
"No, but! Be careful, I tell Mr. Yuhua that you steal the results of his experiment! ”
(Woo~)
Ah Bai cast an expectant look at the flower blossom with his small red bean-like look, and the flower blossom here also realized Ah Bai's thoughts.
"That...... Tisya, don't you think the temperature is unusually low? ”
"When you say that, it does seem to be a little cold!" Tisya stopped and began rubbing her palms against her arms.
"Hmmm! Winter isn't too far away, but it feels like you've fallen into an ice cave! ”
“……”
"Na! Let's go back, okay! ”
"Woo~woo" Tisya also seemed to be a little shaken, "But, maybe there is a treasure ahead!" ”
"Ti ~ Si ~ Ya!" Hua Kai deliberately said in a long voice.
"Woo~ Okay! Let's go back! Tisya compromised...... Before leaving, she reluctantly glanced back at the forest ahead, because she always felt that there was a great treasure there.
