Chapter 40: Hometown (3)
The man sat stupidly on the ground, and the way this person and a pig moved directly cut off his desire to turn around and run away.
"I ...... I ......." he muttered something in horror, but his tongue was already trembling.
"Don't worry, take your time." Old Joey wasn't in a hurry.
"You...... You ......"
"I said brother, don't be afraid, we just haven't eaten for a long time, I want to see if you can provide some food." Old Joey scratched his head with a kind face and said, "But even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, we can eat you directly." ”
"Wow", the man probably also wanted to show his state of mind, so he just grinned and cried.
This time, Old Joy is panicking, he is a person, you said let him chop someone, then he must complete the task perfectly, but if you want Old Joy to face a person who is crying, he really has no tricks, you can't let him lick his belly to coax, right?
"Hmm....... What can I do? Old Joy asked, "Chop it directly?" ”
"Hmph~Hmph~" Pego said, uh...... These two chirps translate as: "Don't chop, he's so scared that he can't speak now, if he really has feed, then it's a pity to chop it like this." ”
"Hmm......" Old Joey nodded: "That makes sense, so, what do I have to do?" ”
"Hmph~Hmph~ (Wait for him to finish crying.) )”
"Oh." Old Joy answered, and then poofed, and sat on the ground, and Pego also sat on the ground, just like that, one person was crying, and the other person and a pig were sitting there and watching, this face, not to mention the pain of more eggs.
I don't know how long it took, but the man finally couldn't stop crying, and at the same time, he realized that the two fools on the other side didn't seem to mean to cut him right now, so he also mustered up his courage.
"Well, are you angels?" He asked.
This was the first time this man had finished speaking a complete sentence, and with this sentence, old Joey was stunned, because ...... This man turned out to be a woman!
Well, distinguishing gender from voice and age from size is the 'ability to recognize people' that Joey Sr. has evolved for a long time, and he is extremely proud of this skill.
"Angels?" Old Joy wondered, "I don't know what angel is, I'm Old Joy, and this is Pego." Old Joy pointed to the piglet and said.
The moment the man heard Old Joey say that he was not an angel, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking about it, if Old Joey didn't even have wings, how could he be an angel, and if he was an angel, he would have died by now.
"Phew, it's okay, since you're not angels, then we're friends." The girl said, then wiped away a handful of tears and stood up. In her consciousness, it seemed that as long as she wasn't an angel, there was nothing to be afraid of. Even if the other party just finished speaking, he was going to chop himself, there was nothing to be afraid of. After all, all fears are not worth mentioning compared to angels.
"Friends? Well...... Old Joey likes to make friends, so, do you have anything to eat? ”
"Hmph~Hmph~"
The man smiled, "The village was purged before, and we all hid underground, so we didn't have much food with us, but if you can help us a little, we'll give you some food." ”
Old Joey was very happy when he heard this, as long as there is food, it is a good thing, as for the help of the girl's mouth....... Of course he was happy too, and old Joey was known to be a helpful and kind man.
So old Joey followed the girl to a clearing, and in the middle of a pile of dry weeds, the woman lifted a plank, and the entrance to the underground appeared. Immediately, everyone climbed down together.
The tunnel is very long, very wide, on the rock walls on both sides, there are some torches, so the visibility is okay, the tunnel is very messy, there are many branch forks along the way, at the second turn, old Joey has been completely lost, fortunately there is a little girl to guide the way, otherwise, he is estimated to be trapped here.
After about 20 minutes, a huge light seemed to come from the front of the tunnel, and after walking around a corner, a large empty space appeared in front of me.
This space is about 200 square meters, there are many passages connected everywhere, some wooden pillars are on the rocks overhead, all the bottles and cans are stacked on the ground, and there are a lot of leather sleeping bags, you can know at a glance that this is a place for people to rest.
It's just that there is no one in this space now.
"Welcome to Hope Village." The little girl opened her arms and said, it seemed that having such a cave was a thing for her to show off: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Mia." ”
Old Joey looked around in a daze: "Hmm...... You're the only one here? ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mia seemed to think of something, and quickly clapped her hands: "Hey, hey, everyone come out, I found a very powerful big man, he is not an angel!" ”
She shouted.
And with her call, many people came out at once from the surrounding passages, behind the pillars, or in the shadows of some corner.
It turned out that they all heard the footsteps and hid.
These people are all in rags, they should be the villagers of Hope Village, but it is worth mentioning that these people all have pig's heads on their heads.
At this moment, old Joey was very happy, and he seemed to have found a long-lost sense of intimacy all of a sudden, because, looking at this person around him, he found ...... I finally stopped being face blind.
"Hi guys!" He smiled innocently and said hello to everyone.
However, the people around did not answer, but whispered to each other.
"Oh my God, it's a man!"
"Isn't he really an angel?"
"The face of a man, but he has no wings......!"
These whispers came from all around, making old Joey stand in the middle of the awkwardness, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Mia came over with a smile: "Please don't care, everyone thinks you are an angel, after all, you are a person." ”
"People?" Old Joey wondered.
"yes, don't you know? We are all pigs, and your face is human, and here, only angels will look like you. He pointed to old Joey's face.
"Angels have human faces? But...... Why is your face? Old Joy asked, puzzled.
"Oh, my face, I'm an exception." Mia explained, "You may not believe it, my parents were pigs, but they gave birth to me, an angel without wings. ”
Old Joey listened to Mia's words and was even more confused, but he didn't want to think about it too much.
And at this time, he noticed that on one side of the wall, there was a petroglyph.
The painting shows a pig-headed man, holding a butcher's knife and shouting, exactly like the statue in the village before.
Old Joey subconsciously pointed to the painting: "Uh...... Who is this guy? ”
"What? You don't even know him? Mia was stunned, as if old Joey was a fool with no common sense: "His name is Oink...... A hero. ”
