Chapter 6 / The Vulture and the Rabbit That Missed

Su Zuo rushed out of the door, and the pedestrians were a little inexplicable, but when they saw the dagger in his hand, they subconsciously made way for him.

"Catch that kid! don't let him run!" Immediately after Suzo, someone rushed out, and as soon as he left the gate, he began to shout out to his companion.

“...... The response is so fast. ”

Su Zuo gritted his teeth, and he noticed that because of the movement behind him, there were two men in front of him who were leaning against the wall, dressed as porters, straightened up and looked at him.

"There are too many people on the avenue to walk. Suzo calmly judged the situation, "Go around the alley!"

"The map I found when I came to step on it came in handy before. Suzo ran towards the alley on his right with a little excitement, but he had only half a step into it when his mood plummeted.

Noticing the movement at the entrance of the alley, the strong man leaning against the wall looked up, and noticed Su Zuo and the paper bag in his arms, the strong man showed a playful smile on his face, hugged the cross in front of his chest, and put down his muscular arms.

Governor...... No, it's a bear-like man......

Hiding his right hand behind him, Su Zuo's mood fell to the extreme, and he began to calmly judge the situation in front of him, but then again, there is nothing to think about at this time, isn't it?

Take a half-step back with your right foot, lower your body and hold your breath, and look straight ahead.

There are roadblocks in front and pursuers in the back, and all that is needed in a backwater war is one thing -

"That's the brave who meets on a narrow road!"

Black boots, a flying shovel in the muddy roadway, the muddy and dirty sludge instantly separated, and the raised sludge splashed everywhere. The moment he staggered, the dagger in Su Zuo's hand was suddenly slashed, the fragile muscles were easily torn apart by the cold steel, the dull blade was evenly moistened with a layer of bright red, and the strong man let out a tragic cry, covering his crotch and kneeling to the ground.

"I'll go! I'll be on three roads in the past two days!" After burrowing under the giant man's crotch and cutting a huge wound in the groin, Suzo grumbled and fled deeper into the alley......

"Search me hard! No one saw that kid run away, he must be hiding somewhere! He can't run far, search him out for me!"

There was a sound of talking outside the alley, and Su Zuo, who was hiding in the shadows of the alley, covered his mouth with his sleeve, but like a leaky bellows, violent wheezing continued to leak out from under his sleeve.

...... Now the physical fitness of this body is really poor......

Secretly made up his mind that he must strengthen his exercise after that, Su Zuo stared at the alley and his heart was pounding, and he didn't know if it was because of nervousness or because of the violent running before, or both.

Another 15 minutes at most...... The sheriff's patrol will pass by......

However, it backfired, and the voice of the voice was getting closer and closer to the alley where Su Zuo was hiding: "Is there anyone searching here? ”

Suzo retracted his head and curled up in the tattered shadows of the alley corner.

Sanbai's face poked in from outside the alley, and he limped along, with three or four subordinates, with gloomy faces, gritting his teeth, "That stinky boy, his toenails have been stepped on by him...... If you catch him, you must skin him alive!"

After speaking, Sanbai took a mouthful of phlegm and flew to Su Zuo's feet, startling Su Zuo, and reflexively retracted his legs.

Walking into the alley, Sanbai glanced at the pile of rags at the mouth of the alley. It was a rotten wooden plank piled up haphazardly, with a thick layer of dust on it, and it looked like it couldn't hide people. But just in case, he bent down and looked through the gap in the plank.

"Second brother, you are too cautious...... There is no ...... where people can be hidden," his subordinate reminded him.

"I know!" Sanbai narrowed his eyes a little unpleasantly, turned his head and scolded, "Do you want your kid to remind me?!"

Seeing Sanbai's face passing by less than a foot away from him, Su Zuo didn't dare to gasp.

The distorted shadow wrapped around his body, rising silently like a ribbon, weaving an inky barrier in front of him, and even when he was close, the three white eyes could not see him in the shadows.

Spell Shadow Door.

The name of this spell sounds powerful, but to put it bluntly, it is just an illusion, which can create a dark curtain in the shadows and make people hide. Because it's just a simple zero-tier spell, Su Zuo can also use it.

The spell effect of this spell is very weak, but because of the simple conditions of use, it is very useful for Suzo, and now it also comes in handy.

Seeing Sanbaiyan turn around and leave, Su Zuo breathed a sigh of relief and put down the hand covering his mouth. However, as soon as he put his hand down, Su Zuo's head suddenly hurt violently as if he had been stabbed by someone.

"Hmm!" it was like his head being split in half, the pain of exploding, he snorted in pain, and subconsciously pressed on the scrap beside him-

"Poof!" all the timbers that had been piled up haphazardly fell and smashed to the ground.

"!" The three white eyes who had just walked out of a few steps were startled, "Fortunately, labor and management walked away, what's the matter? Why did it suddenly fall?!"

Su Zuo curled up in pain, his limbs trembled continuously, the roots of his teeth were bitten white, and the pain in his head spread from his spinal cord and ran through his body. But he didn't even dare to snort, so he could only endure it with all his might.

"Someone was passing by and knocked it down. The subordinates on the side speculated.

Sanbai squinted and looked at it, but found nothing abnormal: "...... Let's go, then. ”

Seeing Sanbai's eyes go away, Su Zuo couldn't care about the neat footsteps he heard in his ears, and his tense nerves loosened, and the whole person fainted......

"Oh no! I'm going to miss the patrol!"

Suzo sat up from the bed abruptly, but hit his head into a soft spot.

“...... You...... Wake up......" The girl held a wet towel in her hand, looked at Su Zuo, who had fallen into the towel, and tilted her head.

Su Zuo, whose face was covered with water, raised his head a little dazedly, followed the example of a girl, and tilted his head: "...... Next time...... Can you wring out the water before ......?"

It is undoubtedly a very unrealistic thing to let a girl who lives alone take care of people, so after sobering up, Suzo simply got up from the bed.

While wiping his face with a wrung out towel, Su Zuo looked at the paper bag on the simple wooden table, thoughtful: "That's it...... You saved me......"

It was a small, dark wooden room, with the windows nailed to the ground, barely illuminated by a few rays of sunlight that filtered through the cracks. Suzo recognized this place, this was the girl's "home".

"How did you find me?" but there were some details that Su Zuo still couldn't figure out.

“...... The smell ......," replied the girl.

“...... Smell, this is too ......" Hearing the girl's explanation, Su Zuo was speechless, and he found that he didn't seem to be able to find a suitable word to describe how he felt at the moment.

However, without giving him a chance to react, the girl turned her head again, and her lake-green pupils stared at Su Zuo seriously, shining like a wolf's eyes: "Next time...... I'll ...... with you."

Su Zuo scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and the miserable look seen by the girl made his self-esteem hurt a little: "Originally, I thought there was no problem, but it seems that something happened...... "I want to fool the past."

“...... Next...... I'll ...... with you," the girl did not look away, and repeated what she had just said.

"......" Su Zuo was slightly stunned, in his impression, the girl was a person with an unusually high surname of vigilance.

He hadn't forgotten the night four days before, when he first met the girl.

The door was smashed open, the wooden bed shattered in two and the table that had been turned to the floor, and in a messy cabin, a tall giant man with a dagger with only a handle left was lying on the ground, and the corpse's head was twisted in a strange direction. And next to the corpse of the giant man, the girl with a broken blade of a dagger deeply stuck in her left shoulder gasped and looked at herself viciously. It was not surprising that Su Zuo felt that if he approached rashly at that time, he would definitely be killed by the girl in an instant.

But the same girl from four days ago, sitting not far in front of him at this time, with her legs together and her hands on her laps, sat obediently, her eyes looked at him quietly, her eyes were full of seriousness and clarity, and people couldn't bear to refuse.

“...... I won't go again next time......" Suzo turned his gaze away.

"Huh?" the girl tilted her head in confusion, and there was a faint doubt in her lake-green eyes.

I said...... Won't go again. Su Zuo said in one breath, "The trading area is too dangerous, I'll go to the market in front of the church next time, if you want to go, you can come with me." ”

That's right, if you are accompanied by a girl, you may indeed be much safer, but today's experience has made Su Zuo clearly understand that even if he and the girl are combined, they can't compete with the stalking of more than a dozen people at every turn, and the girl may be able to deal with four or five people at the same time, but she is not invincible, as early as four days ago, he understood this.

Moreover, one more person is one more risk of exposure, and if there is a chance for him to choose again, then he will still choose to go alone.

It's just that you can't say this to the girl.

Hearing Su Zuo's words, the girl sitting on the wooden bed shook her feet and nodded quickly: "...... So...... It's settled......"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Su Zuo always felt that he saw a hint of expectation in the girl's eyes, he scratched his nose a little embarrassed, in order to relieve the tension, he coughed and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Wolf Xue, you haven't changed your bandages today, have you? I was beaten so many times today, and the wound is likely to crack open again, so I can't do it if I don't re-bandage it." ”

“...... Note that the ...... is avoided The wound ......" the girl objected to Suzo, and she raised her hand and made a gesture with her right hand to cover her left shoulder.

"Okay, even if you haven't been injured twice, it's time to change the bandage. ”

This time the girl did not resist and nodded obediently......

Take the bandages and ointment you just bought out of the paper bag and place them on the wooden table next to the bed. The old bandages that had been cut off layer by layer were untied and thrown on top of them.

Facing the girl with her back to her, Su Zuo gently wiped her smooth neck with a towel, and the dust-wiped hair was bright and white, purer than the snow-like skin.

However, Suzo's attention was all focused on the wound on the girl's left shoulder, "wound...... Doesn't look like a big deal......"

The wound that had penetrated deep into the bone had begun to scab over, and as the girl had said, the beating of a few hours earlier had not allowed the wound to reopen. Thinking back to himself when he first saw this wound, Su Zuo couldn't help but have some illusions like a dream. He ran back to Nolan Kid, fetched the bandages and medicine, and hurriedly pulled the broken blade out of the wound. The look of being overwhelmed by the blood that flowed is still a little ridiculous when I think about it now.

As for dragging the giant man's corpse out and throwing it away, it was very thrilling to encounter a murderer who almost lost his life, even now when I think about it.

While reminiscing, Su Zuo gave the girl good medicine and redressed the wound.

"How do you feel, do you get in the way?" said Suzo, cleaning up the table and asking the girl what she thought.

“...... No, that's good," the girl moved her left arm slightly, her exposed furry ears wiggling slightly, revealing that she was in a good mood.

Because of the reason for bandaging the wound, Su Zuo cleaned up her messy hair a little, and under the snow-white hair that was pulled up, the ears that were usually hidden under the messy hair were also exposed.

Su Zuo stared at the pair of fluffy, puffing ears and felt extremely amazing. Although I have long realized that I am no longer on the earth, when I really see the "beast-eared girl" exactly as described in the fantasy work, no matter how many times I have seen it, my heart is still full of shock and emotion.

After packing up his things, Su Zuo subconsciously leaned over, stretched out his sinful hands to the girl with his back to him, and pinched the ears on both sides of the girl's head. The fluffy, warm touch is really amazing, the pointed and drooping ears grow in the same position as normal humans, the pinna is down, and the fluff is more delicate than a hair, and the feeling of touching it is really lovely.

However, Su Zuo only touched it quickly, and quickly withdrew his hand before the girl grabbed the groping pig hand and threw it out, in order to cover up the crime and distract himself, he pretended to remember it by chance, and asked the girl: "Speaking of which, Wolf Snow, which branch of the 'immortal species' do you belong to?"

“...... Galilee ......" The girl held the ear that had been touched by Suzo, looked back at him with a blank expression, tilted her head, and seemed to wonder "Why do you suddenly ask this?".

"I remember that Galilee didn't most of them live in groups?, and what about your people?" the girl's answer was consistent with what Suzo remembered, except for the rare white color of his hair, including his fluffy tail and the furry ears on the sides of his head, all of which matched the immortal species called "Galilee".

Moreover, "Galilee" is also a famous fighting race among all the immortal races, and the reason why the girl can easily fight four or five is probably here.

“...... Living alone...... Twenty years...... There are no clansmen ......" The girl shook her head, and although she was talking about her own business, she didn't seem to feel sad.

"Twenty years......" Su Zuo nodded thoughtfully, he didn't expect that by chance, he actually asked the girl's age. The growth period of the immortal species is mostly slower than that of ordinary humans, although on the surface she looks like she is only 14 or 5 years old, but judging by the girl's words, she is at least 25 years old......

The mental age is about the same as yourself......

Through the gap in the slatted window, Suzo looked up at the sky and realized that it was not early.

"Then that's it for today, I'll go back. ”

Su Zuo picked up the paper bag, picked up the thin wooden barrel behind the door, and said goodbye to the girl.

“...... Well...... Goodbye......" The girl seemed to be a little unaccustomed to saying goodbye, and after subconsciously saying it, she remembered to raise her hand and wave it like Su Zuo.

Suzo went out and retreated. He took out the dagger from the bag and put it on the wooden table: "It's almost night, there have been murderers in Wenning District recently, don't go out at night, this is left for your self-defense." ”

Seeing that the girl wanted to refuse, Su Zuo raised his hand to stop her: "I've been staying at Nolan Ji at night, and I don't need it." ”

“...... Hmm......" The girl nodded with a complicated expression, picked up the dagger, hugged it to her chest, and sent Suzo out of the cabin.

She stood at the door of the cabin for a long time, and it was not until Suzo disappeared from the girl's sight that she raised her head and looked at the purple sky.

"Nightfall...... ......"

Four days of ...... The first night.......
