Chapter 509: A Blessing or a Curse
When everyone heard this, they all shone the lights in their hands towards the position I was pointing.
That's when we finally got a good eye out of the thing on the other side.
No, it's the man's appearance.
He turned out to be a little boy.
A little boy about eight or nine years old in a blue coat.
At this time, he was squatting on the opposite bank of the river and weeping, looking very sad.
Wang Yi frowned slightly: "It's so late, how can a child suddenly appear?" ”
"yes, and I'm curious what the hell he's crying about." I also raised my eyebrows, and put my hands on my elbows like a play.
"You say, could it be a trap? Or maybe there's some trap waiting for us. Even Zhang Qiang sensed that something was wrong.
However, it is also possible that it is true. For example, is this the masterpiece of the 'True Demon'? Zhao Qiqi smiled and put forward a different opinion.
"When you say that, it's true. In case the 'true demon' wants to guide us to complete some task, so we let such a little boy appear in front of us, if we think it is a trap, then deliberately avoid it. Then we are also very likely to lose a chance to open a hidden mission, which ......" Hearing Zhao Qiqi say this, I suddenly hesitated.
"What then? Shall we go over and see what is going on, or do we pretend that none of this is happening? When Zhang Qiang heard this, he turned around in a circle in distress.
Zhao Qiqi glanced at me: "It's still up to the captain to decide!" ”
When I heard this, I immediately smiled helplessly.
He groaned for two seconds, then clenched his fist sharply.
"It's decided, let's go over and see how it goes! Even if the little boy was really a trap, at least we were on guard now. As long as you are careful, nothing should go wrong. I said, my eyes sweeping over to the crowd.
"Okay, listen to you." Du Deming nodded briskly.
"That'...... Shall we just go straight to the water? ”
Zhang Qiang looked at the river, which was not too wide but very turbulent, and was a little difficult.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head, "No." I think we'll just send two people over. The backpack luggage is still left here, and I will swim over after asking about the situation. Others just wait where they are. ”
As I spoke, I turned my head to look at Du Deming.
"Deming, please come with me!"
"No problem." As he spoke, Du Deming took off his backpack and put it at Wang Yi's feet.
I also nodded and put my backpack in Zhang Qiang's hand.
In this way, Du Deming and I carried only weapons and flowed into the turbulent river.
Fortunately, the river is not wide, only about four or five meters.
In three or two clicks, we were already on the opposite side of the river.
Shining the light to the left and right, he finally found the little boy in blue squatting on the ground again.
It seemed that he found out about our arrival, and he stopped crying.
He just looked up at us with a look of horror on his face.
Du Deming and I glanced at each other, and then walked cautiously towards the boy's location.
When I came to the boy's side, I crouched down and made eye level with him.
Trying to put on a gentle expression, I looked at the boy: "Don't be afraid, little friend. It's so late, why are you squatting here crying alone? Is something going on? ”
The little boy raised his eyes, which were already crying, and looked at me helplessly: "I'm lost, I can't find my way home, woo woo woo ......"
As he spoke, he began to hide his face and weep again.
The corners of my mouth moved, and I turned my head to look at Du Deming who was standing on the side.
I always feel that this plot development is too weird, right?
It stands to reason that in such a treacherous forest, or in the middle of the night, how could a little boy who had just lost his way appear?
"Gao Wei, why do I think something is wrong! Let's ......"
Du Deming was about to say something, but Zhao Qiqi's voice suddenly came from the other end.
"Gao Wei, Xiao Ming, how's it going? Did the boy say anything? ”
I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head and told me what was going on.
Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, Zhao Qiqi and the others on the other side were also silent.
"How's it going, Gao Wei? Do you want to bring him over? Du Deming scratched his head, seeming to be very embarrassed.
I turned my head sideways, glanced at the boy again, and after thinking about it, I suddenly made up my mind.
Gritting my teeth, I reached out and pulled the boy up.
"Let's go, come with us, we'll find a way to take you home!" After saying that, I looked at the little boy's face again: "Would you like to go with us?" ”
The little boy looked at the dark environment around him, then at Du Deming and me, and at Zhao Qiqi opposite, and then nodded.
"That's good. I'll carry you over in a moment, and you must hold on to my back so that you don't fall into the river. I looked at him with serious eyes.
The little boy nodded earnestly as well.
So, after a series of ideological struggles, I decided to take the boy to the other side first, and after consulting with the others, I decided what to do next.
Soon, I carried the little boy on my back and flowed into the river again with Du Deming.
Unlike last time, this time, after entering the river, I could clearly feel as if something was trying to touch the soles of my feet.
But in the next second, they seemed to shrink back in an instant for some reason.
So, a few seconds later, I finally returned to the bank of the river where Zhao Qiqi and them were safe.
"That's probably the case......"
As soon as we landed, several other people immediately surrounded us.
After listening to my brief description, everyone looked at the little boy in front of them with some defensiveness.
"You don't really believe him, do you?" The corners of Zhang Qiang's mouth moved.
Zhao Qiqi was silent for two seconds before walking to the boy's side.
She also squatted down and looked at the little boy gently: "Can you tell my sister, what is your name and where do you live?" In this way, we can send you back. Your parents should be worried about it so late, right? ”
As he spoke, Zhao Qiqi took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to the boy.
After the boy took the lollipop in Zhao Qiqi's hand, a smile finally appeared on his face.
He opened the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth before he said in a somewhat muffled voice, "My name is Deluca, and I am half a resident of the Forest of Immortality." My mother is indigenous here, and she died a long time ago. My dad was a researcher at a research institute. He and I both lived in the middle of the forest, where there was a magnificent building that was the largest stronghold of the institute in the Forest of No Return. The day before yesterday, an Uncle Orion came from outside the fortress, and my father asked me to stay with him at my uncle's house for one night, and the next day he came to pick me up. But I waited for a long time, but my father didn't come. I missed my father, and while my uncle was sleeping, I ran outside alone. But it's too big for me to find my way back......" he began to sobble again.
