Chapter 15: The Karatu Man and the Little Girl
A small forest, a little girl who got lost.
It was getting darker, and Leah looked at the trees around her in horror, she had forgotten the way she had come.
Coming out of the house, I ran after a hare, and I don't even know how far I ran down the road.
It was getting darker, and nothing could be seen clearly in the woods.
Whether it's the sound of the wind stirring the branches of a tree, or the cries of animals, it sounds so terrible in the dark night.
Leah's feet were completely unable to move, and she could only curl up in the bend of a large tree root, shivering.
The little girl who lived at the edge of the woods had heard from her elders since she was a child that there were all kinds of terrible beasts in the woods. The terrible stories that my grandfather had told me now remember them one by one clearly, and for a while, I didn't even dare to cry.
Just biting his lip, big tears fell.
It was getting darker and darker, and there was a constant noise in the bushes around her, as if countless wild beasts were watching her in the darkness, discussing what to eat.
The night sky is covered with clouds, and there are no stars in sight. Leah listened to her grandfather, and the way to identify the direction by looking at the stars was useless.
"Wow~~~", the desperate little girl finally ripped open her throat and cried.
With this cry, the voices in the four circles suddenly stopped, and suddenly there was silence.
The silence frightened the little girl who was crying.
Leah clung to the roots, trembling and forgetting to cry.
The world seemed to be silent for a few seconds.
A "snap" sounded among the trees, as if someone snapped their fingers.
A little light lit up.
Very soft and warm glow, like flowing water. Slowly filling the space around Leah, gently pushing the night away.
Leah quickly closed her eyes.
Listen to grandpa. The forest is inhabited by goblins. As long as you look into her eyes, the soul will be taken away for a lifetime.
Leah heard a man walk up to her. I stroked her hair, and it was a warm feeling. Leah closed her eyes with all her might, but the trembling on her body disappeared strangely, and she was no longer afraid in her heart, as if she was next to her grandfather.
The man seemed to laugh and turned away. After a while, Leah secretly opened a small slit, and there was nothing around, but the light was still there. The woods are devoid of the horrors of the night. Under this light, it looks warm and beautiful.
After a while, the man had not yet appeared. The little girl was just about to muster up her courage and get up and run away, when the footsteps sounded again.
Leah immediately closed her eyes and clung to the roots.
The man seemed to walk all the way to Leah's side, and poked his head in front of her, even feeling the heat of his breath.
Leah hugged the roots tighter.
"Little girl," a gentle man's voice sounded. "Look, Rabbit yes".
Leah slowly opened her eyes, and a gray rabbit was hanging in front of her with long ears, looking at her with innocent eyes.
Leah hugged the rabbit. Tears couldn't stop flowing, and the more I cried, the worse I became.
Lu Yuan, who came from catching rabbits, obviously didn't know much about this situation. Some are at a loss.
"Little girl, why are you crying?" Lu Yuan scratched his head and said.
"You!" Miss Leah said with a sad and indignant face. "Because you're bullying me!"
"A woman is inscrutable, whether it is a little girl or an old woman."
Lu Yuan is in his heart. After repeating this sentence ten times, he leaned over and picked Leah up.
Leah was still small and light, and he didn't have much trouble picking it up.
After walking like this for a while, Leah's crying gradually became quieter, and she began to look at Lu Yuan secretly.
It seems that his appearance is not very different from the people around him, with yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair.
"You...... Is it a goblin? β
"Leprechauns? Is that what you call the Karatus? Lu Yuan said with a smile. Alona didn't know what kind of temper he was throwing into the world, and he didn't know where he was, so he could only continue to pretend to be a Karatu.
"What are the Karatu?" Leah began to be lively when she heard that it wasn't a goblin, or that she sensed that this somewhat reliable young man wasn't a goblin.
Lu Yuan didn't know how to explain what Karatu people were, so he had to reply, "From the far east, running around, they look like merchants, just like me." β
"Little girl, what's your name?"
"Before asking a lady's name, you must first give your name."
"Ladies walk on their own, and they don't just let strange men hold them in their arms."
"I'm a little lady!"
Lu Yuan was in his heart, and after reciting that sentence ten times again, he replied: "My name is Lu Yuan, may I ask the name of the little lady." β
"Leah, nice to meet you".
As fear left the body, the vitality returned to the little girl's body again.
While walking, Lu Yuan chatted with the little girl, introducing the trees, flowers, and small animals on the roadside. No matter what he says, he can tell it as if there are many stories, and the forest becomes more beautiful and interesting.
The little girl secretly looked at this somewhat handsome young man, and felt that her heart was beating so badly that she was really much better looking than the people in the village. I had regained my strength, but I didn't want to get down and walk at all. In the little girl's heart, she wanted to go on like this, to listen to him tell all kinds of stories about the forest, and to see his eyes shining like stars.
The grove was not big, and the two of them quickly wore it out.
Standing on the hillside, you can already see the small village below.
Lu Yuan put Leah down, touched her head, and said goodbye to her.
Leah walked down the hill step by step.
Every time I looked back, I could still see the emaciated and tall figure of the young man, and the starry eyes seemed to be looking at her all the time.
Seeing that she had already walked into the village, the youngest waved his hand and the young man disappeared into the hillside.
Leah turned around her house, and her anxious grandfather, who was guarding the house, immediately saw her. Grandpa picked her up, touched her head over and over again, and kept babbling.
Leah suddenly felt sad, and tears flowed down her face. For this indistinct sadness, I forgot the fright of the night, only those eyes, and unstoppable tears.
"Grandpa", Leah hugged her grandfather aggrievedly, "Grandpa, he bullied me".
"Who is he?"
"That's him."
β¦β¦
"Grandpa, you say, when you see the eyes of a goblin, will your soul really be taken away for the rest of your life?"
