Chapter 11: Children
ps: The book has been signed, and the epidemic has caused the contract to be on the road for half a month...... So there's no way to reward, add character information, let's get alive first.
………………………………
An hour later.
The hut was warm and sleepy, and the bounty hunters sat by the fire and fiddled with firewood.
"I'll stay here until Lenzard is dealt with, that's secondary, the most important thing is that I'll have to see what abilities you gain."
With the bounty hunter here, Rensad's threat will be much lower, and Li Tong also hopes that this guy can stay for a few days, bringing an animal skin blanket from the bed and covering it on the chair in front of the desk.
"You're going to sleep here tonight."
The bounty hunter glanced at the chair covered with the blanket, got up and walked straight into the bedroom.
"Don't you really treat yourself as an outsider?" Li Tong was shocked to stuff a fist in his mouth.
Looking back at the chair with only a blanket, he shrugged his shoulders and sat on it, adjusting to a comfortable position to comfort himself.
"It's okay, it's just a few days, and this guy will leave after solving it."
Just when I was sleepy, I heard a voice in my ears.
"I just checked, you can see the room directly from the bedroom window, if there is an accident here you have to open the window and shout for help, I will need about a minute or so to get here, so you have to hold on for a minute or so, and the sword is left for you to defend yourself."
Quinin Carrick said a few words and walked straight to the door, pushed open the door and left.
Looking at the back that disappeared into the night, Li Tong realized that the other party did not want to live in the bedroom, but just checked the geographical environment, and as for the problem of living, the house in Lunsad could be solved.
"This guy is kind of human."
Muttered, got up and closed the door, turned back to the bedroom and lay down, the candle was not extinguished, and it was convenient to deal with it in case of an accident.
Lying on the bed, my mind returned to the gun, the appearance of the gun proved that modern technology may have developed to a certain scale in this world, indicating that the pioneers who teleported here before themselves have carried forward the technology.
All you need to do is find a suitable time to go to the gun shop that the bounty hunter said will be able to find out, and whether to buy a gun or not is only secondary.
Under the flickering candlelight and the thick warmth, Li Tong's tiredness soon appeared, and he said goodnight and slowly closed his eyes.
……
The chant is pervading......
Pleasant to the ear, like a lark returning to the dense forest, melodious.
A river spreads like a white ribbon on the ground in the moonlight, making a trickling sound that echoes the chanting.
Not far from the river, a small wooden house was silent in the moonlight.
On a table carved out of stone beside the river lay a plate of apples, red as if soaked in blood, surrounded by four stone benches.
On one of the stone benches sat a girl, dressed in a thick red veil, as if she had just been fished out of a fountain of blood, with her brown hair draped over her shoulders, and she stretched out her little white hand to take an apple from the fruit bowl and put it to her mouth.
"Click"
There was a crisp sound, and then the apple was bitten open.
Then the girl let out a bell-like laugh and put the apple back into the bowl.
"Uncle Austin, where did you say the river went? Is it coming home? ”
Li Tong hesitated for a moment, standing not far behind the girl, he felt that the girl's back was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, the girl's voice was irresistible, and he slowly spoke.
"It went to the bigger rivers and then to the sea."
Before the words fell, the bright moonlight in the sky was blocked by a cloud, and the world fell into darkness.
At this time, the girl's body trembled slightly, her head was lowered, she covered her face with her hands, and sobbed in a low voice.
"Uncle Austin, help me."
Li Tong wanted to reach out and take the girl into his arms to comfort him, but when his fingers touched the girl's shoulder, he found that the surface of the bitten apple in the fruit bowl next to him was rotten and covered with black maggots, which were turning and disgusting.
The girl looked back, and the face came to mind.
Without eyes, nose, or mouth, it was like a smooth ball, its skin pale as paper, and its red veins were clearly visible......
"Ahh
Li Tong waved his hands wildly, trying to push the girl in front of him away.
"Boom"
There was a sharp pain in his arm, and the pain made him quickly open his eyes, and in front of him was the desk at the end of the bed, and the faint light shining through the curtain was quite gentle, not dazzling.
After settling down, I realized that it was just a dream, and when I turned around, I found that there was a hole in the head of the bed, which had been knocked out when I waved my arm just now, and the bed was so old that it was decaying, and a slight impact would leave a hole.
"Dreams will prompt the inevitable events that will occur after awakening."
Thinking of the bounty hunter's explanation of the inevitable event, Li Tong sat on the bed and muttered to himself.
"The two dreams are about the same girl, and the next inevitable event has to do with this girl?"
"Knock Knock"
There was a crisp knock on the door from the outhouse, it should be a bounty hunter, just in time to tell the other party and let the other party give him a little reference.
Get up, put on your pajamas, go to the outhouse, and open the door.
"Donina......
……
"Teacher, my mother asked me to stay with you temporarily, and they are leaving."
Dong Nina bowed very politely, her eyes were blue as the sea, and her expression was innocent.
Quite a few people in the town were moving some baggage and boxes out, and it was a bit noisy enough to hear the conversation.
"Mr. Wright, if you don't want to be left alone, you'd better hurry up and pack your things up."
"Ms. Ye Nifu, if you have any leftover ingredients that you can't handle, we can help bring them with you."
Coming to this town, this is the most lively time, Li Tong reached out and touched the girl's brown bob, observing the strange behavior of the residents of the town.
"Why are you leaving?"
Donina was excited.
"Donina likes to answer questions, and Mom says there will be Black Iron Army, they are robbers."
Black Iron Army......
The last time she was shopping for ingredients and train steel wheels, Ms. Ye Nifu mentioned that when the Black Iron Army came, the townspeople would flee for safety.
The girl said that she was staying here for the time being, so she didn't have to flee?
Li Tong looked at the girl at the door with a red face and let the door go.
"Come in, little one."
The Black Iron Army will arrive tomorrow, and it's not too late to finish breakfast.
The girl was arranged to sit near the fire, without any snacks, and picked out a book with pictures on the desk.
"Little one, read the book first, I'll make breakfast."
The girl always had endless questions, flipping through the books and asking them endlessly.
"Teacher, why is Dad always angry at Mom."
"Why does mom always cry, dad gets angry when mom cries, I don't want dad to be angry, what should I do to make dad happy."
Li Tong was busy with breakfast, found a few eggs from the cabinet, made poached eggs, and then fried French fries with potatoes, constantly coping with the girl's problems, it seems that Dong Nina's domestic violence has existed for a long time, not a short-term behavior, and has formed a shadow in her heart.
Soon there was a knock on the door again, and Li Tong planned to open the door, but Dong Nina immediately put down the book and rushed to the front to open the door.
"Haaland, Royce, Morey, Alice, Amanda, you're here."
