Chapter Twenty-Four: The Village of the Heart
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Village of the Heart
"Lord Xiao Sheng, there is my village in front of you. Work hard!" Looking at Xiao Sheng, who was a little out of breath, Yue Ling smiled and encouraged. Of course, this can't be blamed on Xiao Sheng's physical strength being too weak. After all, it is not easy to carry an old man of about 100 pounds on his back for several hours.
"Moon Spirit ......" Xiao Sheng just wanted to ask a question, but Yue Ling interjected: "Lord Xiao Sheng, you still call me Ling'er, it seems more appropriate." ”
"Huh...... All right...... That, Ling'er, why did you travel so far from the village?"
Yue Ling stopped and replied with some frustration: "Because grandma is sick." The village witch doctor said that a rejuvenated herb was needed to prepare the herbs. But the village had long since run out of precious medicinal herbs such as rejuvenated herbs, and there was no trace of them in the jungle around the village. In order for my grandmother to get treatment as soon as possible, my grandfather and I ventured into the depths of the Hart Forest to find medicine. Unexpectedly, the medicine was not found, but it attracted the gangsters. ”
"I didn't find the medicine, so what are you going to do?" Xiao Sheng asked with concern.
Without waiting for Yueling to answer, Xi Yan, who had been playing with Xinya along the way, opened his mouth.
"Isn't it just rejuvenating grass, I have collected a lot of time in the forest!"
"Where?" Xiao Sheng and Yue Ling were overjoyed and said in unison.
"Oh, here!" Xiyan's mouth opened, and a flame erupted from it. After the flames subsided, green herbs appeared in front of the two of them.
"So much rejuvenating grass!Great, grandma is saved!" Yue Ling smiled and wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes. "Grandpa will be happy when he wakes up!"
Xiao Sheng looked at the sleeping old man on his back, although the two heart beasts swore that the old man was fine, but if he didn't wake up, it would be Xiao Sheng who should be in trouble!
But no matter what Xiao Sheng thought, the old man just slept on his own. Xiao Sheng looked at the village not far away, his heart was crossed, and he continued to hurry.
Behind Xiao Sheng, Xinya was still envious of Xi Yan's high-level storage ability. Xi Yan raised his head proudly, and said to Xinya who was beside him with a longing face: "Xinya is careful of the beast, I have a lot of skills!
Village.
A huge stone monument stands at the entrance of the village, and there are three big characters written on it - Fallen Heart Village.
A group of people surrounded the stele, each of whom looked at the entrance of the village from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
Among the waiting crowds, one person stood out the most. She was an old woman, but her face was pale, her lips were black, and she seemed to be very ill. She stared blankly into the distance of the village, where her long-lost wife and granddaughter had returned.
"Village chief, they've been there for a few days, and there's no news yet, why don't we send a few people to look for them?" a middle-aged man asked an old man with extraordinary spirits.
"Wait...... Wait......" said the old man, who was known as the village chief, with his eyebrows furrowed and some hesitation.
"What are you waiting for! Ling'er will definitely encounter danger if she waits any longer!" several handsome young men were impatient, ready to rush towards the depths of the forest.
"Don't worry! it seems to be coming!" said the village chief, stepping forward and feeling a little excited.
Not far from the entrance of the village, Xiao Sheng and his party are slowly arriving.
"That, Ling'er. Why don't you bring a few young people from the village with you? In this case, even if you encounter danger, you will have a chance to save the day!" Xiao Sheng asked.
"Because I don't want to put them in danger. How can I not know the dangers along the way, but it is Ling'er's bounden duty to collect medicine to save grandma, and my grandfather and I don't want to trouble others. So I declined the villagers' request. ”
"It's really strong! Perhaps, she is the previous life of that Moon Spirit!" Xiao Sheng thought secretly in his heart.
"Someone in the village is waiting!Xiao Sheng, let's hurry up!" Seeing the hazy figure at the entrance of the village in the distance, Yue Ling urged.
"Ling'er, you're finally back!What's wrong with the old man?" As soon as they met, the most excited person was Yueling's grandmother. Despite her serious illness, she struggled to get here to meet the Moon Spirits.
Yue Ling hurriedly helped him up and comforted him softly: "Grandma, why did you get here! You should have a good rest! Grandpa and I encountered a little accident on the way, but fortunately, Lord Xiao Sheng saved us, and my grandfather and I were able to come back safely." Grandpa is sleeping right now, wake him up later!"
When the village chief heard this, he first arranged for someone to dispose of the rejuvenating grass given by Yue Ling's grandparents and Xi Yan, and then talked to Yue Ling and Xiao Shengpan.
"I heard Ling'er say just now that you saved her, and the old man is so grateful here!" the village chief thanked Xiao Sheng.
"It's nothing, she looks a lot like an acquaintance of mine, so I won't sit idly by!" Xiao Sheng excused himself.
"Since you have saved the people of our village, and you are the famous flower of our village, then you will always be a distinguished guest of our Fallen Heart Village! How can you greet guests standing here? Let's go into the village and talk about it!"
In the council hall, everyone stayed quietly, only Xinya and Xiyan were still fighting, causing everyone to turn their attention to them.
"Is this Mr. Xiao Sheng, your heart beast? At such a young age, you can have a heart beast that others may not be able to touch in a lifetime, and there are two of them, Mr. is really extraordinary!" the village said enviously.
"Hehe, where ......" Xiao Sheng scratched his head. I didn't expect Xinya and Xiyan to get along so well, and they kept making trouble from the beginning. The village chief didn't blame them for being noisy.
"Village Chief, there is great news about Lord Xiao Sheng's Heart Beast!" said the Moon Spirit, who was sitting on the side, "That Heart Beast that is bubbling out of the spark is the Heart Beast that we have been worshipping in the Heart Village for a long time!"
"What!" the village chief looked at Xi Yan in surprise, looking incredulous. He excitedly asked the moon spirit, "Could it be that the prophecy is true?"
Moon Ling nodded.
"What prophecy?" Xiao Sheng asked.
"It was a prophecy handed down by our ancestors, and we don't know who made it. The prophecy says: The boy and the beast will live in symbiosis, the boy and the girl will meet, and the boy will vow to break the darkness of the Hart Forest for the sake of the girl. The boy, the darkness no longer exists, leaving only the girl to wander for ten thousand years. ”
"What does this mean?" Xiao Sheng was confused.
"I think, the divine beast refers to Xi Yan," Yue Ling said his thoughts, "The boy refers to Lord Xiao Sheng, and the girl ......" Yue Ling said this, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"This is fate!" Looking at Yue Ling's appearance of Huaichun, the village chief laughed.
"What is that referring to?" Xiao Sheng asked, automatically omitting the details that made his deer jump.
"I don't know, perhaps, only after I have experienced it. Speaking of this, Yue Ling stood up and said to Xiao Sheng and the village chief, "Village chief, Lord Xiao Sheng, Ling'er has a request. I want to go with Lord Xiao Sheng!"
The village chief immediately stood up and asked sternly, "Ling'er, have you thought about it?"
Moon Ling nodded firmly.
"But, I don't even know where I'm going!Should you ask for my opinion!" Xiao Sheng was ignored by the two of them, and said helplessly.
"You can go to the heart of the Hutt Forest. The village chief sat down, apparently acquiescing to the Moon Spirit's request. "No one has been to that place, maybe you can find some clues there. ”
As for Ling'er, your family, the village will take care of it for you. Use this time to get ready and say goodbye to your loved ones at the same time!"
Xiao Sheng saw that there was no better way, so he could only agree.
"Along the way, take care of Ling'er!" the village chief instructed earnestly.
It was late at night, and Xiao Sheng was ready to rest under the arrangement of the villagers.
Xinya and Xiyan have been fighting for a day, and they are already tired. As soon as they entered the room, they fell asleep.
But Xiao Sheng didn't fall asleep so quickly. He didn't understand why Yue Ling wanted to go with him so much, and they had only known each other for a day.
Outside the door, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and it seemed that someone was passing by.
Everyone in the village has already slept, and in order not to be disturbed, the village chief deliberately chose a somewhat remote place for Xiao Sheng to stay in.
Xiao Sheng secretly got up and looked out the door.
