Chapter 5 Danger Messages
After the two of them had eaten enough, Uncle Qiao Mude made tea for everyone again, handed one of them to Su Ke, and asked, "Young man, where did you come from? You know magic, I have lived here for most of my life, and I have never seen it, you should not be from here, right?"
Su Ke took the tea and took a sip, feeling the fragrance pleasant. Taking a light breath, his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and even Su Ke, who didn't know much about tea, knew that this was definitely good tea.
Hearing Uncle Jomud's inquiry, Su Ke fell into a brief memory, and only replied after a moment: "I came from the south, and I have traveled through mountains and rivers, and I don't remember how far I have traveled. ”
After listening to Su Ke's answer, the father and daughter were both stunned. Angel picked up the topic and continued, "Are you a wanderer, what about your family, and what is the name of the place where you used to live?"
Su Ke's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes fixed on the fire, as if he was thinking about a difficult problem, and after recalling it for a long time, he replied: "I don't know, my memories of the past are very vague, I can only vaguely remember that I originally lived in a village, and the people in the village would go out hunting every day, and I often went together." The people in the village use magic, they are all very powerful, and we hunt large birds of prey and monsters for a living. ”
Su Ke paused and continued: "Everyone used to live happily, but then there was a disaster in the village, and many monsters attacked the village like a tide, and everyone fought in the sea of fire, but there were too many monsters. Houses collapsed, villages were destroyed, people died one by one, and I was seriously wounded in that battle. ”
After listening to Su Ke's answer, the father and daughter looked at each other, curious and sympathetic to Su Ke's plight. "Maybe it was that serious injury that caused you to lose some of your memories!" Uncle Jomud sighed, "And what happened later?
Su Ke also sighed, his eyes slightly sad. "I thought I was dying, but when I woke up, I found myself in a cave, and the entrance of the cave was covered with branches, as if someone had hidden me in it, and when I came out of the hole, there was a river in front of me, but I had no idea what it was, and I didn't know the direction of my home, so I could only walk aimlessly, hurry, catch pheasants and squirrels when I was hungry, and drink water from the stream when I was thirsty. Monsters kept coming from the south, so I had to keep going north, I don't know how many times I fought along the way, and I don't know how long I walked, and then I met Angel. ”
An Jie'er thought for a while, nodded when she heard this, and comforted Su Ke: "You are very powerful, and you can do magic, since your village has been destroyed and you can't go back, you can live here! From now on, we will be your family, you will collect medicine with me in the future, you will help me get things, and you will protect me." ”
Uncle Qiao Mude shook his head, An Jie'er thought that his father did not agree with Su Ke living here, and was about to say something more, Uncle Qiao Mude preemptively said: "I'm afraid things are not so simple, monsters, magic, we have lived here for generations have only heard of it, and we have never really seen it, but now it has been encountered by An Jie'er, what you have encountered in Qianshan may be just the beginning!"
Su Ke's face changed when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, but An Jie'er didn't know why. "What are you going to do?"
Uncle Qiao Mude sighed, "Let's talk about what happened to you on the front mountain!
Angel took over the topic and told the whole story of what happened to her on the mountain in front of her, including how she met Su Ke, and when she talked about how Su Ke protected himself and how she fought lizardmen and giant lizards, Su Ke was a little embarrassed to listen.
But Uncle Qiao Mude's face was getting worse and worse. "Alas, if it is as you say, our town is probably in danger. ”
An Jie'er was shocked when she heard this. "Dad, no...... You mean those monsters? Didn't they all kill Suke?"
Su Ke shook his head, "Those monsters are all from the south, after attacking our village, the disaster has spread all the way here, what we encountered in the front mountain may only be the previous scouts, and there are still a large number of monsters in the rear that have not appeared." If that were the case, the people of this town would suffer the same calamity as our village. ”
"That's it!" Uncle Qiao Mude frowned, his face was extremely bad, as a person who had experienced wind and rain, he understood the current situation very well.
"So, what should we do?" Angel also changed her face when she heard this, she hadn't forgotten how ferocious those lizardmen were, if they entered the town, it would be like a tiger entering a flock, and humans living in a stable environment were not the opponents of these monsters at all, they only had to be tortured and killed.
Uncle Qiao Mude thought for a moment and said his thoughts: "I will go to the mayor of the town first now and discuss this matter, you go to rest first and recover your strength, whether you defend or flee in the end, this requires physical strength." When everything is arranged, I'll call you again. ”
Su Ke nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it! Saying this, Su Ke clenched his fists and continued with some resentment: "These monsters are attacking humans so recklessly, I must make them look good." ”
Angel took an umbrella and handed it to her father. "Be careful. ”
Uncle Qiao Mude nodded, held his umbrella and went out.
Angel took Su Ke up to the second floor, one room on the first floor was where her father lived, and there were two rooms on the second floor, one was Angel's boudoir and one was empty. Angel found some mattresses and sheets, and after laying them out, let Su Ke rest in the empty room.
An Jie'er couldn't sleep, in addition to being afraid, she was more worried about her father's safety, what if those monsters attacked now?
Angel walked down the stairs and decided to wash off the clothes that Su Ke had changed, which could be regarded as a bit of a life-saving grace.
An Jie'er was very serious, and it took more than half an hour to not only wash the blood stains on Su Ke's clothes, but also leave a faint fragrance.
Su Ke's clothes were torn a lot because of the battle with the monsters. Angel put her clothes on the side of the stove, picked up the needle and thread, and sewed up the holes one by one.
By the time Angel had done this, it was already dawn and the rain had stopped. Open the door and the air is fresh and the sun is shining.
Uncle Jomud walked out of the alley. When An Jie'er saw her father coming back, she immediately greeted her and asked about the situation.
"I reported the situation to the mayor and advised him to inform the townspeople to flee and evacuate. But the mayor of the town didn't believe it at all, alas! It's no wonder that they have never seen a monster before, and no one will easily believe it!" Uncle Qiao Mude sighed and shook his head, looking particularly lost.
Angel asked, "So what should we do now?"
"Wait, I'll clean up first, so I don't get caught off guard. You eat something first, and then go and rest. Uncle Jomud handed him breakfast, which he had bought at the bazaar. "Bring this to Suke. ”
An Jie'er answered, went up to the second floor with breakfast, came to the room where Su Ke lived, pushed open the door, and saw Su Ke sleeping soundly, with a slight smile on his resolute face, as if he was dreaming.
For Su Ke, he has never had a good rest in the days he has been wandering outside, and he always has to keep an eye on it to avoid danger, and now is the time when he can sleep most comfortably and comfortably during these days.
Angel sat on the edge of the bed, observing the changes in Su Ke's expression, as if she wanted to understand Su Ke's heart through these.
Suke rolled over, and he was lying flat on his side at the moment, with his left arm resting on the back of his head.
Angel suddenly had the idea of teasing Suke, she tore off a slice of bread in her hand and put it in front of Suke's nose, carefully observing the sleeping guy.
Suk sniffed and smacked his lips, as if he could smell the bread in his sleep.
An Jie'er smiled, covering her mouth with her left hand, her eyes as bright and moving as a crescent moon.
Su Ke was finally woken up by An Jie'er's prank, he opened his eyes, and saw An Jie'er who was smiling with his mouth covered, he was stunned for a moment, then got up and scratched his head, and said with a smile: "What time is it now?"
"It's still morning, nothing has happened so far, don't worry, it's breakfast, you can sleep a little more after eating." Angel placed the hot bread and milk next to Sooke's pillow.
"How can anyone lie in bed and eat breakfast? ”
An Jie'er smiled when she heard this, covered her mouth and said, "Okay, I'll help you bring the clothes." With that, he went downstairs with a slump.
After a while, An Jie'er brought up the cleanly washed and mended clothes, chatted a few words, and went into her room to rest.
Su Ke felt the touch of the washed clean clothes and the faint fragrance, and a warm warmth welled up in his heart. "Uncle Qiaomude, Anjie'er, no matter what happens, I will definitely protect you. Suke thought to himself.
Half an hour later, the mayor came to Jomund's house, and he wanted to see the young man he was talking about with his own eyes. He wasn't stupid, he was also very concerned about the safety of the townspeople, but he couldn't bear to give up the town he had run for most of his life, and besides, his stable life made him unable to believe the impending disaster, so he had to see this magical young man and listen to what he had to say before he could make up his mind.
As Suke came down the stairs, he saw a thin old man talking to Uncle Jommud. Standing next to him were four middle-aged people.
Uncle Qiao Mude saw Su Ke coming out and hurriedly called him over. After a brief introduction, Su Ke learned that the thin old man was the mayor of the town, and the four middle-aged people were the townspeople found by the mayor, presumably to verify the truth of what Uncle Qiao Mude said.
The mayor was bald, with gray temples, and with a pipe in his right hand, he looked Su Ke up and down, "You're the young man who knows magic, aren't you?" Seeing the other man nod, he continued, "So how about let's see your magic?"
Su Ke looked at Uncle Qiaomude, and after seeing him nod, he stretched out his right hand, his eyes flashed red, and an orange-red flame suddenly appeared on his palm, the flame was small at first, and after a few seconds, under the gaze of everyone, the flame suddenly became huge, and showed a whirlpool, and then with a wave of his hand, the flame was extinguished, and the sparks scattered in all directions.
Several people around were stunned and incredible, even Uncle Qiaomude, who had seen Su Ke use magic, was amazed.
The mayor took a puff of his cigarette, calmed down, and said to Suke, "What do you think about the disaster?"
Su Ke thought for a moment, "Although it is only speculation that the monsters will attack here, but we did encounter monsters on the front mountain, the number is about forty, according to our speculation, there are more hidden in the shadows and waiting for the best time to attack, they all migrated from the south, and our village was destroyed because of the attack of monsters." ”
The mayor sighed. "Alas, it's very difficult to get the townsfolk to abandon their homes and possessions and flee for their lives! I see! Tell all the townspeople and nearby villages to urgently form a militia team and observe the situation first! Suke, you know magic, you have experience in dealing with monsters, if the monsters do attack, I hope you can help us through this disaster. ”
Uncle Qiao Mude wanted to say something more when he heard this, but he was stopped by the mayor of the town, so he had to give up.
Suke nodded in agreement.
