Chapter 43: The Black Cat
Wei Yong stood up and looked at the direction where the little boy disappeared, wiped his sweat and said: "If we follow the direction we have traveled all the way, even if we don't arrive at Mujiaobeigou, we should see some people in the mountains, presumably this baby can show us the way, why don't we catch up with him and ask?" β
I frowned and said, "Wei Yong, why do I feel that this kid is a little weird?" Was it because he had never seen anyone outside and was intimidated by the two of us? Or ......"
I couldn't tell what it was like for a while, but in short, this little boy made me feel inexplicably weird, especially his eyes, those eyes full of fear...... Is he really afraid of us?
Not only Wei Yong planned to do so, but I also had this idea, it was rare to meet a person along the way, so we found a shallow beach and crossed the river, and chased straight in the direction where the little boy disappeared - the dense old forest, coupled with the mountains and mountains, not to mention hiding a person in this environment, it must not be difficult to hide an elephant, the little boy is thin and small, if he has the heart to avoid us, it is estimated that he can do it in any place, and now I muttered even more in my heart, the reason is this impermeable old forestβ¦β¦
After looking for a long time, seeing that there was not even a decent path, Wei Yong suddenly stopped and said with a wrinkled face: "Chu Qi, do you really think that there are people living in such a ghost place?" I don't know where that baby came from, alas! β
"Rustle!"
Suddenly, I turned my head sharply, only to see a bush in the distance move, carefully sensed the breath of the place, the breath was faint, not like a beast, I signaled Wei Yong to shut up, and then pointed to the grass pile in front of me.
Wei Yong nodded clearly, and gave me a standard gesture, although I didn't know what it was, but I was used to this stinky posture along the way, and I knew that this was for me to stand in place, and he would do it alone!
Slowly drawing out the saber, Wei Yong walked lightly a few steps, and then turned around and quickly threw himself down to the other side of the grass, followed by Wei Yong's loud shout: "Ah~~~"
I was startled, and hurriedly rushed up, but before I got closer, I had already smelled a smell of rising rapidly in the air, in the grass, Wei Yong slowly stood up, originally a good face, I don't know what is sticking to a layer at this time, take a closer look, I suddenly took a few steps back, turned around and retched a few times, and couldn't help laughing!
"Stinky Boy...... If I find him, I'll have to beat him to death! β
Wei Yong grinned, walked up to me step by step, and then asked, "Seventh year of the first month, quickly find something to wipe for me, it's really fucking stinky...... Dog's day, the seventh day of the first month, don't talk about this, alas! What a fucking bad luck ......"
I hurriedly covered my nose and retreated, just about to find some blades of grass for Wei Yong to wipe the stinky on his face, my eyes inadvertently scanned to a hidden mountain rock, only to see that the little boy was staring at me and Wei Yong with a wicked smile, I sneered, and rushed up - "Let go of me~~~ Let go of me~~~ Why are you catching me?!" Let me go! β
The little boy who was hung by Wei Yong on the branch of the tree bared his teeth and yelled, but looking at Wei Yong's black old face, where did he mean to let go.
Wei Yong found a branch, pointed at the little boy and said angrily, "Say! Where are you?! Why are you here? Say it! Don't say I'm going to beat you to death today! β
The little boy seemed to be more aggrieved than Wei Yong, but he was not scared to cry by Wei Yong's appearance from beginning to end, just blindly yelled, which roughly means a few words, and after waiting for a long time, seeing that the little boy couldn't say why, I stood up, stepped forward and smiled: "It's almost, can you still deal with such a child?" β
Wei Yong sighed deeply and said, "What a fucking bad luck! Alas...... Now I finally know what......"
When the little boy heard this, he suddenly smiled evilly, and said, "It's really strange that a person like you can still be safe and sound in this forest, in fact, you don't have to be angry, if that person doesn't catch me, it's up to you...... Hum! β
"You little rabbit cub-" Wei Yong was anxious when he heard this, but I stopped him in time, but he still made two cruel words to scare the little boy, but Wei Yong's words seemed to be useless to the little boy, but made the little boy even more ridiculous and with Wei Yong, and the two of them quarreled with me word by word.
I immediately opened my mouth to stop: "Don't make any noise! Wei Yong, you put the child down first, I have something to ask him! β
Wei Yong was reluctant to do so, but he still took action to untie the little boy's shackles, the little boy let go of his hand, first rubbed his wrist, and then came to me, looking me up and down, I suddenly looked back in surprise, this seven or eight-year-old boy, how repeatedly behaved showed that he was like a professional hunter, and we became his prey.
"Are you lost here?"
After a long time, the little boy suddenly asked an even more bizarre question, I thought about it and asked, "You...... Are you lost here? β
The little boy nodded honestly, but did not answer.
I agreed, and then asked, "And what's your name?" Where is your home? β
The little boy said: "My name is Gevada, and I am the son of a hunter in Mujiaobeigou, and this time I went out hunting with my father, and I ...... Separated, big brother, will you send me home? Please......"
"No way!"
Before I could speak, Wei Yong preemptively rejected Gevada's request, and said with a dark face: "Since you are the son of Orion, you must have more skills to survive in the wild than us, how can you still get lost?" β
Ge Wada ignored Wei Yong, but repeatedly begged me, I did not open my mouth to agree, nor did I refuse, but stared at Ge Wada's eyes, just when he begged me to send him home, there was a trace of fear in his eyes again, I know, that fear did not come from me and Wei Yong, what could it be? And what?
After a moment's thought, I nodded, "Okay!" I promise to send you home! β
Wei Yong gave me a fierce look, and I smiled slightly, as if I didn't know it, leading Gwada in front, while Wei Yong followed helplessly.
After walking for a while, I suddenly stopped, and found a clean place to sit down and prepare to rest, but Gewada on the side hurriedly urged: "Big brother, why did you stop?!" Shouldn't we hurry to the back ditch of Mujiaobei as soon as possible? β
Wei Yong also pinched it at this time and asked, "Yes, the seventh year of the first month, we still have a long way to go, why did you stop?" β
I stretched lazily and said, "I haven't had much rest all the way, let's take a break." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh! Wei Yong didn't say much, turned around and leaned on the old tree trunk to prepare to rest, he is a soldier, although it is inevitable that there will be some nagging when encountering problems, but many times he is still straightforward, if he can not talk much, he will not say more nonsense.
Ge Wada suddenly became anxious, and a trace of unconcealable fear appeared on his face again: "Big brother, we ...... Let's hurry...... This, here ......"
I raised my eyebrows: "What's going on here?" Gwada, what are you afraid of? β
"I ...... I ......"
Ge Wada hesitated for a long time, and when he saw me and Wei Yongzhen stop like this, he let out a deep sigh of relief and said, "Alas! Well, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not the son of the Orion family, in fact, my parents died when I was very young, I grew up in my grandfather's house, but a few days ago my grandfather was also physically exhausted, and a serious illness took his life, and my grandfather's only wish was to guard under the sacred mountain for the rest of his life, so ...... So I took him to find his way into the mountains......"
I glanced behind Gervada, and sure enough, I was carrying a small baggage, and now I understood...... He immediately asked, "Then why did you lie to us?" And let us send you to the back ditch of the wooden horn? β
Ge Wada glanced back at Wei Yong, who was still black-faced, and slowly lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid that you won't believe me if I tell the truth, so I'm ...... But I don't really mean to lie to you, really! β
I took a deep look at Gwada and said, "Tell me, I might believe it?" β
Gwada pursed his lips, as if he was making a big determination, and said, "Actually, there is something chasing me all the way, and I'm really scared ......"
"What?!" Wei Yong asked coldly.
Gevada was full of excitement, rubbed his hands tightly, and said, "Yes...... Be...... It's a black cat! β
