Chapter 698: Treehouse
Lead the way of the demon clan and lead everyone down to the ravine. The seven monsters all walked in front of everyone in an orderly manner.
The ravine is very wide, tens of meters in size. Further on, the vegetation became luxuriant. If it weren't for someone leading the way, he wouldn't have thought that there were still people living here while singing.
The monsters are separated from the good grass that hides no human figures. Move forward slowly. The distance of less than 100 meters took more than ten minutes.
Allure Xiaofei was a little impatient. They could have stayed in the wilderness for the night, and then continued their journey after dawn. And now, the black light is drilling in the haystack here, and anyone will be angry.
Singing while walking, walking in front of Xiaofei in Allure. He heard Xiaofei's complaints, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. When we get to the house, we don't have to drink the wind in the wild. ”
After appeasing Xiaofei in Allure, he sang and asked a few demon clans as he walked. The leading monster immediately said, "It's here." It's just ahead. ”
Singing as he walked, he looked ahead. In the darkness of the night. There seems to be a huge thing in the black one ahead. Judging from its shape, it looks like a giant tree.
The crowd soon came to his subordinates. This tree is really big. The body of the tree is seven or eight meters thick, and the height is not high. The canopy of a tree like a large umbrella covers a large open space.
The monsters came to the big tree with mottled cracks. A few shots on the tree. Before everyone could figure out what the monsters were going to do, they suddenly heard a sound of sore teeth. Then, a hole was revealed in the tree.
The monster was so familiar with this place that the others were puzzled by the singing as they walked. A monster saw that they were hesitating, and hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, uncles. We used to live here. ”
In order to dispel everyone's doubts, the monsters shouted into the hollow of the tree, "Come out, everyone! A distinguished guest is coming! ”
The monsters shouted several times in a row. After a while, I heard the sound of rustling footsteps in the hollow of the tree. After that, there is a light.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and several demon clansmen holding torches appeared in the hollow of the tree. They saw many people standing outside the hollow of the tree, and they were all stunned.
While walking and singing, the others saw that these demon people were old and young. They are all hides and leaves. All of them looked depressed. At first glance, it is that there is no clothing and no food.
When these demon people arrived, the monsters who led the way asked them to enter the tree hole while singing. There is no doubt that this is a slum. So I walked into the tree hole with peace of mind.
In the tree hole is a large space. It can be seen that the big tree has been hollowed out by them.
On either side of the hollow in the tree hole, there are two stairs. The stairs are carved out of the trees. All the way up and down.
Even though it was in a tree hollow, it was very clean. It can be seen that these demon people are very interesting in life.
The monsters who led the way talked to a few demon people, and the others who sang while walking were the distinguished guests they had invited. They certainly do not claim to be their captives.
Although several demon clans didn't know what the identities of the people who sang while walking were, they were still very respectful to them.
An elderly demon clan elder seems to be the patriarch here. He gave them a warm welcome.
The old man instructed the others to prepare food and shelter for the others who sang as they walked. And led everyone to the second floor.
The second floor of the treehouse is the same as the first floor. Just a few more tables and chairs. It looks like this is where the demon people eat.
The old man told the others who sang while walking and said that there were more than 20 people living here. They live together as one big family. All food is distributed in equal portions.
Treading the sea and asking the old man, what do they do for a living? The old man replied, "Because of who we are, we are afraid of being discovered by the Terrans. So we didn't dare to farm. Just gather some wild fruits and hunt some animals for food. Fortunately, some of the young people of our clan went out to wander. will help us. Although life is hard, it can stay away from war. These are already very happy days for us. ”
Tahaihai saw that the old man did not want to be an enemy of the human race. There are many demon clans who are like this old man, pursuing a comfortable life.
As he walked, he sang to the old man, "How long have you lived here?" You have hollowed out such a big tree. That's a lot of work. ”
The old man smiled: "We have lived here for decades. I think at the beginning, I was still in the prime of life. I live in Donghuazhuang.
After the ghost boy came here, many people came with him. They occupy Donghuazhuang, and we, the people, have no place to stay.
Ghost Ming is not bad to us. He gave each of us a settling-in allowance and asked us to find another place to live. However, Jinyang Mansion is such a big place, where can we go! Later, my father and I came here with dozens of demon clans.
It's a bit desolate though. Fortunately, there were no other nuisances. After we discovered the tree, my father decided to make it our new home.
After decades of hard work, it was built into what it is today. ”
Speaking of this, the old man's tone was full of pride. He was very much in love with his father.
Since the death of the old man's father, the old man took his father's place. Because of the difficult conditions here, their lives are getting worse and worse. In order to change this situation, the young people of the clan have left the treehouse and sought development in various places.
Despite this, none of the people who live here have chosen to leave. Wherever they go, they will eventually choose to come back.
While everyone was talking, a few demon children brought the food. They use their own fired clay bowls and pots.
The children put the clay pots and bowls on the table. The crowd saw that the dishes were filled with some crude food.
When Li Shancao saw this, he was sad for the hard life of these people. She took some candy out of the bag and gave it to the children.
Ever since Li Shancao got acquainted with Jingying, he began to like candy. Shizuki grew up eating these, so she eats candy as a staple food. Li Shancao also learned to be still shadow, and he carried a lot of candy on his body.
These children of the demon clan have never eaten candy. They live in a treehouse and have never been anywhere. They were at a loss for what to do with the candy given by Li Shancao.
Niu Lusheng and Xiaohu said to them, "Eat! It's delicious. ”
The two children first picked up the candy and put it in their mouths, and then signaled that the children of the demon clan could eat it. The children of the demon clan also ate one.
The candy tasted very good, and the children of the demon clan were very happy. They quickly became friends with their three children.
Kind people are always easy to get along with. These demons are very hospitable. They did their best to entertain people who sang while walking.
There are a lot of unused rooms in the treehouse. Everyone was lying in a room filled with the scent of trees, and their spirits were well relaxed.
The night passed. When he woke up the next day, Takai was the first to walk out of the room. At this time, no one else has gotten up yet.
