Pursing her lips, the female man patted her head to dispel the melancholy before moving forward.

When she first came to the city, it took her a long time to get used to it, but fortunately she was taken in by a kind boss, and now she not only has a stable job, but also rents a very cheap house in the north of the city.

Although the place is not big, the female guy is very satisfied with it, at least, that small space is really her own, and the neighbors are very harmonious, and everyone gets along very well.

Over time, the female guy got used to it a little, except for the occasional thought of the person she missed.

Because the area where she lived belonged to the slums of the city, the female man had to pass through a very rough path, and because there were no people on both sides of the road, there was basically no light source along the way except for the moonlight overhead.

The path was uneven and overgrown with weeds on both sides, and the female man walked very carefully, recalling the first time she walked this road, she had accidentally fallen several times, and now she thought it was a little funny.

When she returned to the slum because of the curfew tonight, the ladies noticed that everyone's windows and doors were already closed, and there were not even very many lights.

Obviously, the rumors of the branch church of the Holy Psalm in the city being baptized in blood are true, otherwise everyone would not have been so vigilant.

"Looks like I'll have to hurry home too."

Seeing that everything was quiet and there was no one on the gloomy and terrible street, the female guy's heartbeat accelerated unnaturally, and her footsteps also accelerated a lot.

Soon, the ladies finally returned to their home, and there were only five in one room. Six-square-sized tin hut.

"Squeak!"

Push open the iron door, which was already a little rusty. A candle was lit. After the orange-yellow light illuminated the small space, the female guy let out a long breath.

"Wouldn't I be too nervous, even if a bad guy appeared, it would be impossible for me to be so unlucky." After closing the door, the female man sat on the wooden bed and smiled self-deprecatingly, secretly wondering how she could be so timid.

"Gollum!"

Touching the lower abdomen that made a noise, the female guy was shocked to realize that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, so she walked to the small stove next to her and began to get busy.

Soon. A faint aroma wafted from the small tin house.

"You're welcome."

The female guy picked up the chopsticks and began to destroy the food in front of her, but when she was eating, there was a sudden dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

At first, she thought that something was blown by the wind, but the female guy didn't care, and lowered her head and concentrated on her dinner.

Touching the round grunt's belly, the female guy felt a burst of satisfaction, packed up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and walked outside the house.

"Dangchang!"

A bucket of water was picked up from the well, and the female man squatted on the ground and began to wash the used dishes and chopsticks, and after cleaning them. The female guy fetched another bucket of water and walked over to the bathroom.

The tin house is just such a place, and the so-called bathroom is actually a few wooden planks nailed together. There is not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain on the head.

Pumping the wooden bucket with water into the bathroom, the female man pulled down the headscarf on her head first, and a pair of long silver hair poured down, and a pair of wolf ears were gently trembling.

Gently touching the ears that had been wrapped in a headscarf for a day, the female man was about to undress, but at this moment, there was another rustling sound outside.

The sound, as if a heavy object was dragging on the ground, was particularly clear in the quiet of the slums.

"Who?"

The female man shouted, but there was no movement outside.

With a little suspicion, the female man rewrapped her headscarf and walked out of the bathroom, only to see that there was darkness ahead, and about forty or fifty meters away from the tin house where she lived, something was faintly shaking in the grass.

Subconsciously feeling something lurking in the shadows, the female guy reached out to the side, and a stick used to fork clothes fell into her hand.

She cautiously walked in the direction of the grass, and although she was a little nervous, she mustered up the courage to slowly approach to make sure that there was something somewhere.

"Woo ......"

At this time, a dog barked and the female man was so startled that she almost threw away the stick in her hand.

"Dead dog, barking all night!"

After recognizing that it was a dog barking, the female guy muttered, and her heart was still beating in the place where she covered her chest with one hand, although it was a false alarm, but in that case just now, she was still scared.

Taking another deep breath, the lady felt towards the grass again, recovering from the fright, she seemed to be much bolder, and rushed to the grass with her stick in her hand.

"Ahh

As if to give herself strength, she shouted, raised her stick and threw it into the grass.

"Meow!"

The stick seemed to hit something, and a shrill cry pierced the night sky, and then a vigorous night ran out of the grass.

"Ahh

The female man was so frightened that she waved the stick in her hand and hurriedly stepped on a rock, and then lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Meow!"

The scream of the thing came to her ears again, and the woman suddenly realized that the thing she had hit with a stick was actually a cat.

That's right, it's a black cat, and its emerald green pupils are staring at her intensely under the moonlight of Frost Moon and Akatsuki.

The female guy seemed to understand the anger in the black cat's eyes, and was stunned, maintaining a motionless posture on the ground.

"Meow!"

A man and a cat looked at each other for a long time, and finally the black cat let out a protest cry, and then "whoosh", burrowed back into the grass and disappeared.

The female man sat on the ground for a long time before she came to her senses, looked at the direction in which the black cat had disappeared, and then looked at the grass, and there was a fishy smell in the air at some point.

"Hmm, it smells bad!"

The female guy covered her nose for the first time, grabbed the stick with both hands and propped it up, and then walked to the grass.

Use a stick to remove those weeds. The smell of fish in the air is stronger.

The female fellow frowned violently. A pair of starry eyes finally froze on the ground behind the grass. I saw a corpse lying somewhere.

Because it was Mayday and the weather was hot, the corpse was already highly stinky and rotten, and the scales on the surface were even more damaged, scattered all over the ground, needless to say, it must have been bitten by the black cat just now.

That's right, lying on the ground was the corpse of a fish.

"It turned out that I scared myself!"

The female guy secretly smiled bitterly. She was ashamed of the fuss she had just made, but after figuring out what was going on, she couldn't help but laugh.

Picking up the carcass of the fish with the stick in her hand and making sure that the smell would not drift to her house, the female man still threw the stick and walked home again.

"I may be too tired from work today, and my nerves are a little tense, so let's take a shower and go to bed."

The female man said to herself, and the person had gone to the bathroom again. However, just as she opened the door, an elongated figure gradually appeared behind her.

"Bang!"

The sound of a heavy object falling behind her caught the attention of the female guy. Scattered the female guy again.

"Who is it?"

As she turned, she screamed in a trembling voice, and reached to her side with one hand, but it was empty. At this time, she realized that the stick just now had been thrown away after picking the corpse of the fish, and there was no weapon around her to defend herself.

If I had known this, the stick should have been picked up.

At that time, this thought flashed through the female man's mind, but when she saw the person behind her, her thought disappeared immediately.

There was a man lying on the ground, not a murderer or anything like the female guy thought, but a girl about her age.

What's more, the girl has the same silver hair, wolf ears, and wolf tail as her, which means that the girl is a wolf girl, a cursed child of werewolf and human blood.

Maybe with the idea of sympathy, or maybe it was rare to see a person like herself, the female guy gritted her teeth and walked towards the fainting girl.

"It's still alive."

Reaching out under the girl's nose and making sure that the other party was still breathing, the female guy stretched out her hands to help the girl up, and then dragged her into her tin house.

After putting the girl on her bed, the female partner herself was tired and sweating, but she could not rest now, because she had just noticed that the girl seemed to be seriously injured, and when she dragged it in, she left a shocking blood mark on the ground.

"Whew!"

Finding a pair of scissors, the female man cut the girl's clothes, and when she saw that the girl's back was covered with a dozen deep and visible knife wounds, she herself almost shed tears.

The female guy didn't think deeply about why the girl was hurt in this way, but quickly opened the drawer next to her and took out a pile of old clothes.

Because there was no gauze to stop the bleeding, the female guy didn't think so much, just tore the clothes and made them into strips, and then pressed them on the girl's wounds.

It took almost ten minutes for the female guy to wipe the fragrant sweat on her forehead, and looked at the girl who had successfully stopped the bleeding and bandaged it, and couldn't help but show a smile on her face.

went out to re-fetch a basin of water, and the female guy used a clean towel to start cleaning the blood stains on the girl's body.

Although I don't know how this girl was injured, she must have suffered a lot when she fled here, and her whole body was covered with thick dust and mud in addition to countless wounds.

Unconsciously, perhaps she herself didn't notice that she had regarded the injured girl in front of her as a cursed child who had been persecuted like herself.

"Perhaps, she escaped from the slave traders."

The female guy sighed lightly, looking at the girl's sleepy face, and her eyes became even more stingy.

However, looking at it, the female guy suddenly felt that the girl's appearance was a little familiar, and a trace of the childhood fragment flashed in her mind.

At this time, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, so the two looked at each other in the air.

"You...... Yes! ”

The female guy was about to speak, but the voice was quickly cut off by a small white hand, and she never expected that the girl in front of her, who had just been revived by her, would attack her.

"Woo!"

Her neck was pinched by the girl's two hands, and she couldn't make a sound for help, and as the oxygen became less and less, she began to feel her vision blurring more and more.

Am I going to die?

The female guy's mind began to flash some fragments of the past, that dark childhood, and the person she missed, all appeared in her mind one by one.

Master, I'm sorry, it looks like I'm really leaving.

Just when the female guy felt that she was almost about to die, the two hands that grabbed her neck suddenly let go.

Although she didn't know what was going on, her will to survive made her breathe into her mouth as soon as possible.

"Ahem!"

The trachea choked on the re-entry air due to the rapid inhalation, but it didn't matter, despite coughing up tears and nasal water, she was able to breathe air again, and she was sure that she had survived.

However, why did the other party kill him, and why did he suddenly let himself go?

Her heart was still trembling, and she subconsciously moved back, wanting to leave the terrible girl in front of her.

At this moment, the girl's voice suddenly sounded.

"Heran, are you Heran?"

There was a little excitement in his voice, a little uncertainty, and a little apology.

"I'm sorry Herlan, I didn't know I was going to run into you all of a sudden, I ...... I thought you were one of those scoundrels who hunted me down! ”

The female guy looked up blankly, just in time to collide with the girl's apologetic gaze, she was stunned for a moment before asking in the same uncertain tone, "You...... Are you Yuna? ”

"yes, I'm Yuu, Yuna." The girl's eyes were already welling up with tears, and she nodded vigorously.

A few childhood fragments flashed in my mind just now, and they quickly coincided with the appearance of the girl in front of me, female man, no, a wave of uncontrollable joy surged in Herlan's heart.

"Xiaoyou, are you really Xiaoyou?"

"It's me, I'm Xiaoyou, Helan, are you Helan?"

The two quickly embraced.

……

At the same time, several white lights flashed in the teleportation array of Monddock City, and the figures of Ruan Chi, Shirley, Jia Lan and An Peiqi appeared.

Walking down from the teleportation platform and seeing the soldiers waiting on both sides, as well as two magic crystal cannons placed not far away and covered with canvas, Ruan Chi couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "There are so many people welcoming us?" ”

"Stupid, they're not here to welcome us, they're here to prevent Hannibal and the rest of his party from using the teleportation array to get out of the city." Shirley said in a deep voice: "Now, the entire city of Mondalk has entered a state of martial law, and it is impossible for Hannibal to escape from this city unless he can fly." ”

Speaking of this, Shirley herself couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe this is fate, more than ten years ago, on the judgment day of Mondoch, Hannibal's wife and son were burned alive at the stake in this city, I didn't expect that more than ten years later, he would return to this city and kill the two cardinals who killed his wife and son." ”

"Fate is such an intriguing thing, no one knows what will happen to it in the next moment, does it?" Ruan Chi said with a smile.

"You're right." Shirley smiled bitterly.

After getting permission, Ruan Chi and his party also officially stepped into the city of Mondoch, tonight is destined to be stormy, and the sky is filled with dark clouds accompanied by lightning and thunder. (To be continued......)
