Chapter 245: Huzi
If the appearance of this mountain village looks normal, then why are these villagers behaving so strangely, at this time, Zhang Lu and Yi Chen kept thinking about the question in their minds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Looking at this very simple house, Yi Chen was also secretly speculating about how long the house had been built, several beams had cracks of varying degrees, and sometimes there were some creaking sounds coming from the house, which made people wonder if the house would collapse in a certain gale.
"Did you find anything?" As soon as she sat down, Zhang Lu picked up another bag of snacks and nibbled on it, and then Yi Chen noticed that this girl had brought a small bag with her, which was full of bagged snacks, and her long sword could also be wrapped in a circle like a belt, which could be easily put into a backpack.
After saying what he said just now, some villagers brought the two into their homes, so now the two of them are sitting in a family named Zhao Quan's house, and it just so happens that Zhao Quan seems to have something to do, and it will be only the two of them.
"Let's take a look first, except for knowing that these people may not have gone out, there is no other discovery for the time being!" Yi Chen supported his head with his hands, looking like he didn't know, looked at Zhang Lu who was eating snacks for a moment, and suddenly reached out and snatched her backpack.
"By the way, how many snacks have you hidden, and why haven't you finished eating them for so long?"
"Give it back! If you don't eat it yourself, you won't let anyone else eat it! As soon as Zhang Lu saw that this was so good, she immediately pounced on it, and wanted to snatch the small bag back to defend her snacks.
How could Yi Chen let her get her wish, then he thought about it and thought that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and suddenly turned out several packs of snacks from it, including pork knuckle and duck wings, anyway, how did it look delicious, he turned it over, and Zhang Lu's teeth were itchy in anger.
"Are you really embarrassed? You are not ashamed to grab something with your sister! ”
These words contain seven points of anger and three points of coquettishness, and he is obviously ready to attack Yi Chen with no one.
How can this brother Yichen already know her temperament, he will not give in at all, and said lightly: "Whenever I reach this realm, I have long looked down on the difference between men and women, not to mention that I have not been able to break away from the mortal body, of course I have to eat!" ”
"You!" Zhang Lu was really choked and speechless, and suddenly became angry and flew directly at Yi Chen, opened his small mouth and greeted Yi Chen's face.
But Yi Chen suddenly grabbed her, and then he left his position and walked towards the door.
Zhang Lu realized that when he was angry just now, there was a small face at the door, and the little face was very delicate, but in those smart big eyes, he was completely attracted by the big bag in Zhang Lu's hand at this time, and he didn't even notice that Yi Chen was already standing beside him.
"Little friend" Yi Chen squatted down and woke up the little boy, and then the little boy looked at Yi Chen with some fear, even if Yi Chen had a smile on his face, he still couldn't stop him from slowly distancing himself from Yi Chen.
However, Yi Chen didn't care, but continued to smile and asked, "What's your name, is there only one child in the village?" ”
The little boy nodded, and when he saw Zhang Lu also walking out, he immediately whispered: "My name is Huzi!" After finishing speaking, his eyes still looked at the bag of pork jerky in Zhang Lu's hand that had been torn open and was exuding a charming aroma.
"Come in first!" Zhang Lu handed the snacks in his hand to Huzi, and then led him into Zhao Quan's house.
Different from Huzi's clever appearance at the beginning, the child seemed to have become a lot more silent at this time, Yi Chen guessed that it was very likely that it was because he was pulled back by his family just now and reprimanded, so it became like this at this time, and some dark red could be vaguely seen in his eyes, obviously he had cried before.
After getting the snack, Huzi was obviously a little confused and didn't know how to eat this thing at all, Zhang Lu saw his situation, and quickly took out a piece from the packaging bag and stuffed it into his mouth.
So as soon as the pork jerky was eaten, Huzi suddenly smiled, completely conquered by its taste, and there was no longer the dullness just now.
"Huzi, is it okay for my sister to ask you some questions!" Seeing that Huzi was obviously in a better mood, Zhang Lu whispered, "Can you tell me why there are so many animal carcasses outside your village?" ”
Hearing this, the child glanced up at Zhang Lu, and then glanced at Yi Chen on the side, and then put down the dried meat in his hand and replied: "My father said, don't tell you too many things, I'm afraid you will be afraid!" ”
"No, it won't! My sister and that uncle are both adults, and they are very brave, and they will not be afraid! ”
Zhang Lu persuaded again and again, but she seemed to have completely forgotten the relationship between her and Yi Chen, you must know that she lied that the two were husband and wife, and now they are sisters and uncles, which is all nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Huzi seemed to be very embarrassed, and he was still reluctant to speak, until Zhang Lu took out a pack of pork knuckles for him again, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "I also asked my father before, why the cattle and sheep raised in the village die outside at every turn, my father said, that is because there are monsters in this mountain, specializing in eating our livestock, so as long as there are animals out of the village more than 500 meters, it will definitely be eaten!" ”
"Youkai?"
"Yes, even the dog baby and the big cow have been eaten by monsters!" Huzi looked scared, as if those things were his own experience.
"Who are the dog baby and the big cow?" Zhang Lu continued to ask.
"Both of them are my best friends, but last year when they went out to play, they accidentally went far away, and never came back, and finally the people in the village were three days and three nights early, so they found their bodies in the woods, and since then my father will never allow me to go out alone, let alone leave more than the range of those fields in the village!" When Huzi said this, he lowered his head, obviously very sad.
"Is there only one kid like you left in your village?"
At this time, Huzi thought about it and shook his head, then nodded again, "There used to be seven or eight, but almost every year two die, and today there is only one left of me!" ”
Yi Chen frowned when he heard this, and then he thought about Huzi and asked, "Then no one of you has ever thought of leaving like this?" ”
"I don't know about this, I heard my mother ask my father, but at that time my father said that as long as the people in our village come in, they can't go out, because as long as the adults want to go out, they will definitely come back after a certain distance, and the children will be captured by the monsters if they are a little far away from the village, and they will never come back in the end!"
Huzi suddenly turned to look at Zhang Lu: "Sister, you are here by plane, then can you go out by plane, Huzi really wants to take my father and mother out together, if you can bring other uncles and uncles, it would be the best!" ”
