Chapter 17: Before the Darkness Comes

Night falls, the blood moon rises, and the wilderness ushers in another cold and cruel night. At this time, the Dashui tribe was shrouded in a cloud of joy.

The hunting team returned with a full load, which meant that the next period of time did not have to worry about food for the time being, and the arrival of Ye Yu made the people of the tribe see the infinite hope of the future.

A large bonfire lit in the middle of the clearing, the light of which reflected the red sky. Everyone sat around the campfire and enjoyed the rare warmth. Except for the day when Shui Meng was promoted to Contra, the Great Water Tribe never lit a bonfire again, and today it was lit again for Ye Yu.

"This won't attract soul beasts, will it?" Ye Yu was a little worried.

"Young Master Ye, you can rest assured, it's the middle of winter, most of the soul beasts are rarely active, and there are no soul beasts that threaten my Dashui tribe in this vicinity, just one night of bonfire, it won't have much impact." Shui Sheng twisted his beard and swore solemnly, and Ye Yu also put his mind at ease.

By the time the moon was in the middle of the sky, the atmosphere around the campfire had arrived.

"All the clansmen, be quiet at once, listen to me." The aquatic stations came in unison and said loudly. His authority in the Great Water Tribe was unmatched, so the scene suddenly fell silent, and even the most jubilant Shui Meng at the beginning sat down honestly and put on a look of listening carefully.

"Today, the Alien Young Master Ye Yu has come to my Dashui Tribe, which is the glory of our entire tribe." Speaking of this, Shui Sheng deliberately paused for a moment, and his son Shui Wang took the lead in applauding, and all the people of the Dashui tribe followed suit, and Ye Yu was suddenly drowned in a sea of applause.

When it felt almost over, Shui Sheng pressed his hands and applauded immediately. Secretly refreshed the pleasure of controlling the overall situation, he continued: "Young Master Ye will definitely soar in the future, and when the time comes, my Dashui Tribe, as the first tribe that Young Master Ye Hao has visited, will definitely leave a place in the legends of the wilderness." ”

These words were quite clever, and they didn't mean to ask Ye Hao for merit and reward at all, as if Ye Hao had helped their Dashui tribe. It not only shows merit, but also makes people feel comfortable, and this kind of ability can indeed only be taken by aquatic people.

"Grandpa is right, Young Master Ye is powerful, he has a lot of energy, I will obey him, whoever will not obey Young Master Ye in the future, I will be the first to fight with him!" A thunderous voice came from the side, and everyone burst out laughing, and the atmosphere that Shui Sheng had painstakingly created was completely destroyed. Ye Yu couldn't help laughing, this is really a cute person.

A smug smile froze on his face, and Shui Sheng glared at his grandson, eager to pull his tongue out.

"Okay, okay, Young Master Ye is a young man, I can't listen to my old man's nagging, don't gossip, now please ask Young Master Ye to come and say a few words." The aquatic life hurriedly drew his attention.

In the eyes of everyone, Ye Yu stood up embarrassedly and scratched his scalp for a long time. But I don't know what to say.

"Well, everyone eat and drink well, leave me alone, get up, get up."

The people of the Great Water Tribe didn't understand what Ye Yu was talking about at all, and after a moment of silence, they suddenly burst into thunderous applause. Everyone applauded passionately, although they didn't know what was right, the corners of Ye Yu's mouth twitched and sat back in the applause, vowing never to make such a stupid speech again.

The most exhilarating part was over, and the atmosphere became relaxed, as the children swirled around the campfire, and the laughter grew louder and slowly spread across the clearing.

The men in the tribe sang a rough song, this was the first time Ye Hui heard the song of the wilderness, the song sang about the wind blowing through the wilderness, the rain that moistened the wilderness, and the people who were born and grew up in Si. The boy running in the wilderness, the girl dancing in the wilderness, hope and pain, tears and laughter, all of them, accompanied by hoarse singing, whirling and flying into the sky.

Someone danced, waving their arms cut into shadows by the firelight. In a trance, there seemed to be countless figures around, and the people of the wilderness laughed and danced to their heart's content, they may soon wither, but now, they are blooming, shining.

Shui Sheng and Shan Ye sat together, and the two old men were smiling happily, this was one of the few times in their lives when they were relieved of their burdens, and they didn't have to think about the survival of their clansmen, and they laughed freely.

The blazing flame baked Ye Yu hot, he glanced sideways at Xia Lu, who was sitting beside him with his knees hugged, the girl's face looked red under the reflection of the firelight, like a big apple, making people want to bite down. A piece of snow-white skin was faintly revealed under the gap in the new robe, and Ye Hao's heart was beating rapidly, and even he could hear the thump.

"Summer ...... Xia Lu. ”

"Huh?" The girl snorted softly and buried her head deep in her knees.

"This, ah...... This one. Ye Yu only felt a fluster, and he didn't know what to say.

The girl raised her head and looked at him with resentful eyes, being stared at like this, Ye Yu was even more confused, and almost wanted to turn around and run away.

Damn, why is it so unplanted! Ye Hao pinched his thigh hard, using pain to relieve the panic in his heart. In the past, the protagonists were all masters of the sister, the tiger's body was shocked, the spirit of the king was emanated, and all kinds of harems came up obediently, but now it looks like it's really nonsense, Ye Yu snorted for a long time before squeezing out a sentence.

"You...... Come with me to the city. ”

The corners of Xia Lu's mouth slowly curled, and a pair of crooked eyes were full of smiles, just looking at Ye Yu without speaking.

Hastily, you have a statement. Ye Yu was sweating profusely, it was like fighting a battle with ten soul beasts. He completely forgot that he had promised the mountain master to give Xia Lu a place in the city, in short, now Ye Hao's IQ has dropped to the same level as Shui Meng.

Xia Lu stood up suddenly, Ye Yu subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, but just pinched the girl's ankle, and there was a soft feeling in her hand, 09

"You...... Let go. The girl's coquettishness made Ye Yu wake up from her sluggishness, and when she looked up, she saw Xia Lu's face flushing like a boiled prawn. The teeth bit lightly on the lower lip, apparently in a state of extreme shyness.

Ye Yu realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly let go to make a gesture of surrender of a devil, and said quietly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Seeing him like this, Xia Lu couldn't help laughing, and the strange thing was that this smile actually resolved all the embarrassment. Ye Yu suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart for no reason, he also stood up, licked his face and asked, "What are you going to do, I'll go with you." ”

The girl was angry, she turned her head sideways, and whispered, "I...... I'm going to ......."

"What, what?" Ye Yu was still asking incomprehensibly.

Xia Lu was angry and anxious, and suddenly stepped on Ye Hao's instep, then turned around and ran away as fast as a deer.

"Ouch, why are you stepping on me?" Ye Yu grinned in pain, not knowing where to offend this little aunt and grandmother. It wasn't until he saw that Xia Lu was running in the direction of the tribe's toilet that he suddenly realized.

"Oh, if you want to go to the toilet, you can say it, it's so mysterious, I thought it was going to be something." He complained and scratched his head indifferently, not realizing how special the situation was, of course. Of course, for a single dog, don't be too demanding.

Xia Lu ran a few steps, then stopped and looked back, the eyes of the two were just intertwined, Ye Yu felt a faint sweetness in his heart, he smiled at Xia Lu, the latter also smiled at him at the same time, the smiles and eyes of the two slowly overlapped, it was difficult to separate, from Xia Lu's gaze, Ye Yu read what he wanted.

He waved at Xia Lu, and the girl stuck out her tongue obediently and turned her head reluctantly.

Ye Yu quietly watched the girl's departing figure, and when Xia Lu's back slowly faded away in his gaze, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

This is a faint sense of fear, Ye Yu doesn't know what he is afraid of, and in the midst of fear, there seems to be a trace of sadness that makes people's nose sour. This feeling was only a faint wisp at first, but slowly, this feeling grew like a weed in Ye Hao's heart frantically, gnawing at his heart.

Finally, Ye Yu felt a huge fear, this fear was not aimed at him, but Xia Lu! The back of the girl's departure came to his mind, and this brief separation seemed to be about to turn into an eternal farewell.

He felt as if he would never, never see this clear-eyed, well-behaved and lovely girl.

This uncontrollable fear made Ye Yu almost go crazy, shaking his head, but he couldn't drive this terrible premonition out of his mind, and finally, gritted his teeth, and walked in the direction Xia Lu left.

As soon as he stepped out, in that direction, there was a scream.
