"Here it is. Elise pointed to a thatched hut in front of her, which looked like it had just been built.

Alan naturally let go of his right hand and said with a smile, "Then let's go in." ”

Elise felt a sense of loss, Alan's nonchalant resistance made her feel very bitter, Alan had no choice, her expression was already obvious, but Alan couldn't accept her feelings, and she just regarded her as a good friend from beginning to end, to say that there were other feelings, it hadn't reached that point, so Alan rejected her with his own behavior.

Elise quickly reined in her frustration and went into the house with him.

"Elise, come here, everyone is waiting for you. A forty or fifty-year-old aunt affectionately walked to the door and took Elise in, completely ignoring Allen who was with her, and Elise smiled apologetically at Allen, and then followed her into the house.

They adopted a separate meal system, saying that it was a place to eat, but in fact it was just a large open space with some flat stones, on which was a large green tree leaf, and on the leaf was placed a piece of burnt black meat, which was already a sumptuous dinner, if it was replaced by the usual meat, it would be the best thing to be able to eat a full stomach every day.

Now the highest position in the clan is Elise, so the upper position in the middle is naturally left to her, and Elise also sits down and sits down.

No one else dared to start eating in order to wait for her, this is condescension and humility, and no one dares to disobey her.

Elise looked around and wondered, "What about my friend's food, why is it only mine?" ”

Elise's face immediately became gloomy, and she said, "Then wait until you make his food, and everyone can eat it together." "This is obviously a demonstration against her, Elise can feel the hostility coming from below, but the means are more wonderful, not to fix her, to change her friends.

Alan stood next to him like a superfluous person, out of place with the others, and the people below whispered to each other, as if they were laughing at him.

"Don't be angry, they're targeting me, not you, don't take it personally. Elise controlled the volume so that only Alan could hear her, and she hastened to explain, for fear that Alan would be angry with them.

"I know there are a few people who want to eat you, so you need to be careful. Alan reminded.

Elise nodded, indicating that she had heard.

"Then let's wait a little longer, and when my friend's meal is ready, let's eat together." Elise looked up, no longer focusing on the food, although she was now hungry, but she could not be compared to the group, so she tried to make her expression as serious as possible.

"That's not good, after waiting for you for so long, things are getting cold, and the grain in the fire clan has been burned to the ground, just an outsider, just let him go outside to find something to eat, everyone says yes."

"Yes, yes, why bother with our stomachs for an outsider." ”

Some people are indeed hungry and have not seen meat for a long time, but only they know what they mean.

"I said wait, just wait for me, grandma is dead and now I'm the patriarch!" Elise said in a serious tone, just because she was relatively young, and the way Alan looked at her talking with a straight face was really cute.

"Cut, bullshit patriarch, now there are only a few of us left in the clan, the old, weak, sick and disabled, are you a little fart boy who climbs up the pole and gives you face?"

"What do you mean by that?" Elise blushed and was scolded by someone pointing at her face, she kept reminding herself in her heart to calm down, so she didn't get mad on the spot.

"What do I mean, are you embarrassed to ask me?" The man slapped the stone table, suddenly stood up, and his emotions were even more agitated, "You have no conscience, your grandmother's bones are not cold, and the clan has also been killed, if it weren't for a few of our old things not at the time, I guess we wouldn't have survived." ”

"Don't say it. The aunt next to him pulled him and whispered to persuade.

"Why don't you let Lao Tzu say, ah?" the old man blew his beard and glared, and he got angry when he saw the other people being silent, "Did she let me be afraid of her when she was the lady of the castle lord, fart!"

"There are only a few of us left in the whole clan, so why bother hurting the harmony again. The aunt stopped talking after speaking, but she could see her unwillingness from her expression.

They only went out for a day, and when they came back, the whole world changed, and the tribe became half a ruin, and they also reported the will to die, and those who were afraid of death had already run away, and they were afraid of being persecuted, and only a few of them were left who were unwilling to leave, and they were still surviving.

They hated iron but not steel, and in the past few days they had found some news from others, and knew that this matter had nothing to do with the high priest's gang, but Elise was brought back intact, and she had to be the lord of the castle, which made them unacceptable.

"I'm telling you, as long as you want to marry that old immortal thing, we won't recognize you anymore, you have nothing to do with the cat clan, this is what everyone means, did you hear clearly. ”

Elise's eyes were full of sadness, except for Allen, no one could understand her distress, the clansmen couldn't, her own brother couldn't do it, she suddenly felt so tired and tired, it turned out that this was just a Hongmen banquet, and she was happy in vain.

"It's not that you want to ......" she was about to retort when Alan suddenly patted her on the shoulder and shook his head.

Elise immediately changed her words, "Is that what you all mean?"

Her voice was low, and she looked at the people below, and she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, and that unexplained sense of grievance made her very uncomfortable.

The others were embarrassed to say it, but Elise read what they meant from their eyes.

"I see, I'll get out myself. ”

With that, Elise stood up and gave Alan a look of us leaving.

"Wait!" The old man suddenly stopped her, and his cold expression suddenly softened, "You are what I grew up watching, in my memory, you are not such a person, is there any trouble?"

Elise was caught off guard by this emotional card, and the tears flashing in the old man's eyes made her heart tremble, and she almost told her secret wrongly, but fortunately she held back it in time.

"Don't ask, I'm not as noble as you think, I'm also human, I want to live, I also need to live a better life, I have no choice, you know?"

Everyone was silent, and they all understood her words, in the face of absolute force, any form of resistance was useless, the old castle lord wanted to cross the mountain in front of them, with their strength, no matter what, they could not climb over, they were as helpless as Elise.

Elise was just an outlet for them, and the old man was speechless by what she said, sighed and sat down on the ground, picked up the meat that was already cold on the stone table, and gnawed on it.

"Let's go. Elise hurriedly ran out, the tears had reached her eyes, she was afraid that her crying would be seen by them, since this is the case, then draw a line with them, this can be regarded as protecting them, and she will do some things.

"Sister, don't!" the little kid she met when she first came suddenly screamed, and her mother covered her mouth before she could say the word "go". The others also had complicated expressions, and some people couldn't bear to want to keep her, after all, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl, was it too cruel to do so, but their reason told them that they couldn't stay.

Elise ran out, and after thinking clearly, she suddenly felt much more relaxed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then stopped.

"Thank you. Elise turned her head and thanked her sincerely.

"Thank me for what?" Alan thought for a moment, as if he hadn't done anything.

"If you stopped me just now, I guess I would have said what was in my heart, and I don't know what things have changed by then, I guess it will affect them. Elise looked happy and stuck out her little tongue, besides her brother, Alan was the second person who could let her go, she didn't have to hide her emotions, she just needed to be her truest self.

"You still know that it's dangerous just now, it's safest to hide this kind of thing in your heart, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you outside, I guess there are their eyeliners in the group below just now, if you say that you leak your mouth, it is estimated that your life will be gone." ”

"I know, don't say it anymore, and ah, the tone of your speech is similar to my brother, don't always be an educational tone. Allen's old-fashioned appearance made her very uncomfortable.

"Your brother is gone, I'll teach you well instead of your brother, don't always be stupid, learn a little better, you know?" Alan was a head taller than Elise, so he looked down on Elise condescendingly.

Elise pursed her lips and didn't care, "We are allies, equal, if you want to teach me, that's also my brother's business, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Very tsundere, Alan was amused by the look, "Got it, got it." ”

"Brother ally, it's so late, we're all hungry, aren't you going to find something to eat?"

"Coo~" As soon as Alan's words fell, Elise's stomach was protesting, she looked embarrassed, it was really embarrassing.

"Come with me, I know there's a place to eat. As soon as she had said that, Elise quickened her pace and left him behind, and she was really ashamed, and Elise was eager to find the hole in the ground to get into.

"Where are you, how do you get outside?"

"Leave it alone, just come with me. Elise said angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it's always okay. "Turn right from the tribe's gate, turn right again, and follow her in the direction of the back mountain.

...

"You don't want to come here so late to find something to eat, do you?" Houshan was not far from the back of the tribe, and with the strength of the two of them, they would soon arrive.

"I can't help it, my brother used to like to bring me here, if you're lucky, you can find some hares or something to fill your hunger, and if you don't have enough money, it's good to find some fruit. ”

"Alright, let's look around. Seeing her energetic appearance, Alan was embarrassed to interrupt her.

In the dark of the night, the two began their foraging journey.
