Chapter 6: Strange Girl
……
Family? Naturally, there is no way to go back, at least not in the short term.
Kuroko said that he would meet at home, but what he secretly meant was that he should never go home, which was also misleading to others.
An Ning understood that the real place that the two agreed on was an abandoned graystone mine, which was where the two used to pick up waste and share the spoils.
The strength in his body gradually subsided, An Ning knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, the black beads in his mouth had already been spit out by him and put into his bag, and there was no trace of the pursuer behind him.
Did you survive?
Relieved, An Ning realized that his body was a little weak, and he couldn't wait to lie down and sleep immediately.
Bandaging the wound on his left shoulder, An Ning confirmed the route, and staggered on, he had to rush to the mine before dark, and at night, without the protection of the gray stone, it was very dangerous.
As the sun set, a long shadow dragged out behind An Ning, and at this time, he saw that a person seemed to be lying on the ground in the distance.
Living? Or a dead man?
An Ning hesitated a little, if it was a dead person, then it was okay to say, but if it was alive, then he was not sure if it was a trap.
What to do? An Ning slowed down, took out the kettle and took two sips, and his spirit instantly improved.
After thinking for a moment, An Ning took out the dagger and touched it, in his current physical condition, a light dagger was obviously more suitable for him than an axe.
The distance was getting closer and closer, it was less than twenty meters, and An Ning's heart was full of spirit, and the dagger in his hand was held in his hand.
By this time, he could already see clearly that the people on the ground were a little thin, covered with this thin layer of dust, and it looked like they had been lying here for some time.
An Ning looked around vigilantly, the terrain in this area was quite flat, and there was no place to hide.
Is there only one person?
An Ning secretly said in his heart, but he didn't plan to touch the corpse, he had already seen this person's clothes, shabby gray cloth clothes, unkempt hair like a beggar, this was obviously a newcomer who was transported over, he still remembered the track marks he saw when he traveled in the morning, obviously something happened to that convoy, only this person escaped, of course, it could also be other convoys.
But what does that have to do with him?
An Ning's eyes were indifferent, now that the medium was in hand, he didn't plan to take any risks, and with a limp of his footsteps, An Ning planned to go around.
And at this moment, An Ning's pupils contracted, and the cold hairs all over her body exploded, and even her heartbeat stopped for a moment.
The ominous breath was like a mang, and An Ning turned her head in disbelief.
Hunter? How could you suddenly become a hunter?
The ominous aura can be hidden, but that also depends on the person, the sand fox does not have this breath on his body, and the sand dove does not have either, but that is because they may have left the hunter's level and reached a higher stage, as for what it is, An Ning is not clear.
The newcomer in front of him has also reached that level?
An Ning felt ridiculous, how could this be?
At this moment, I don't know if it was an illusion, An Ning felt that the person on the ground moved, his heart jumped, and he left quickly, whether this person was a hunter or not, something was wrong anyway.
After a while, the man on the ground raised his head with difficulty, looking at the already small back in the distance, and the empty eyes flashed with light.
……
The wind and sand in the air were getting colder, and An Ning tightened his clothes and listened carefully to the movements in the mine.
He didn't go straight in, he would be killed if someone was inside, and in his current state of exhaustion, he had no ability to resist.
Luckily it was quiet inside, and there was no sound, so An Ning relaxed and walked inside. Speaking of which, this was also expected by him, when night came, no one would spend the night outside, not even hunters.
The cave was a little dark, the soles of the feet of the scattered stones on the ground were a little painful, An Ning's brows furrowed, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, he found a place to sit down, turned his feet over, and the premonition in his heart was confirmed.
The sole of his shoe was torn, and a large hole appeared to reveal his dirty, calloused soles.
An Ning is heartbroken, this pair of shoes is equivalent to the money of a box of jerky, which is not cheap.
"Anning, you want to be generous, for a hunter, what is a pair of shoes? You can wear a pair in the future and prepare a pair. An Ning put her shoes back on, took out the black beads in her bag, and cheered herself up.
The black beads were filled with black mist, and in this dark mine, it looked inconspicuous, and An Ning looked at it carefully, not knowing how to use this thing.
To be a hunter requires a sense of guidance and a medium. Now that there is this medium, where is the knowledge of guidance going? It's something that only hunters have.
An Ning's mind flashed with a candidate, all of them were hunters he had come into contact with, but he found a very important problem, and he didn't trust any of them.
Maybe the sand fox can? An Ning hesitated, as a businessman, Shahu still has the credibility, but why should people help you? And what trading capital do you have? The main thing is that he is very uneasy about this feeling of life and death being controlled by others.
"It would be nice if my sister was here."
An Ning's expression was depressed, and his eyes gradually lost focus as he watched Heizhu, he recalled the days when he lived with his sister, which was the day when he didn't have to worry about life at all, and his sister was a very powerful hunter.
"Step, step, step ......"
The subtle footsteps on An Ning instantly came back to his senses, his eyes instantly became sharp, he took out a dagger, came to the side of the mine with light feet, and hid in the dark.
Is it a sunspot?
An Ning struggled to slow her breathing, staring at the hole without moving.
No, Kuroko shouldn't be so fast, so who could it be?
An Ning's body tensed, the dagger in his hand was attached to the side of his body, and in the darkness, he could hear his own heartbeat.
Finally, a short figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, under the unkempt hair, the muddy little face looked in the direction of An Ning, and when he saw the dagger in An Ning's hand, he retreated in fear and staggered.
An Ning's heart tightened, it was obvious that this person had discovered him, and what made him even more uncertain was that this person seemed to be the person who was suspected of being a hunter on the road.
"I, I'm just hungry and want something to eat." The man nervously waved his hand to explain, and his voice was pleasant, like a lark.
An Ning was stunned for a moment, and her expression fluctuated instantly, woman? No, girl?
"Really, I'm just hungry and I want something to eat." Seeing that An Ning didn't answer, the girl said again, and in her empty eyes, there was a little more hope, she was hungry, very hungry, even if she was scared now.
"You, a hunter?" An Ning narrowed his eyes, his gaze was scrutinizing, he felt that something was wrong, because the current girl had no ominous aura at all.
"Hunter?" The girl looked at An Ning blankly and shook her head quickly.
An Ning was silent, he could be sure that the girl in front of him was not lying, if it wasn't for this familiar dress, he would have suspected that he had seen it wrong.
"Can you give me something to eat?" The girl swallowed and asked cautiously.
An Ning glanced at her, took out the jerky, and motioned, "You come and get it yourself." ”
And in his right hand, the dagger was held even tighter.
