Chapter 260: The Demon God's Curse
Just as Bai Zhengqing was about to knock on the door, the door opened automatically, and an old woman with gray hair and a staggered back walked out of it.
She completely ignored Bai Zhengqing and the others standing at the door, and directly hung the dripping clothes in her hand on the long rope at the door.
Only then did Bai Zhengqing know that this rope was used to dry clothes.
Aren't you afraid that others will steal your clothes just by hanging them out?
Besides, this area has no sunlight at all, so what's the point of drying it out?
Bai Zhengqing thought for a while, and when he saw the old woman turn around and was about to enter the house, he immediately stopped and said, "Are you Wizard Anna?" ”
The old woman's face was wrinkled and wriggling, she looked at Bai Zhengqing and said, "There is no wizard you are looking for here." ”
Amazingly, her voice was unusually good, and it didn't look like an old woman's voice.
"You are so fluent in Chinese, it seems that you are Anna." Bai Zhengqing said with a smile at this time.
To be honest, the name Anna doesn't look like an Indian name at all, and it has a sense of purity and friendliness, which doesn't match the bad old woman in front of her.
But Bai Zhengqing stubbornly felt that she was Anna.
Because even though she is getting older, this old woman's eyes are still very clean.
Anna was stunned by what he said, but still shook her head.
Bai Zhengqing looked at those clear eyes and said with a serious face: "I came to visit you this time just to ask a few things, and I won't delay you for too long." Besides, if you have any difficulties with your people, you can tell me that maybe I can help you with something. ”
Anna was stunned again.
She seemed to be told the sore spot by Bai Zhengqing, and suddenly fell silent.
Bai Zhengqing didn't urge her, just silently waited for her reply.
He had already decided that if the wizard of Anna in front of him still rejected him, he was not going to dwell on it anymore.
The so-called people have their own ambitions, and there is no need to force each other.
After being silent for a while, Anna turned around and walked into the house again, with disappointment in Bai Zhengqing's eyes.
But at this time, a nice voice came into his ears: "Come in." ”
Bai Zhengqing hooked the corners of his mouth and silently followed.
Zhu Zhou did not follow up, but took the initiative to stand guard at the door.
Bai Zhengqing's vision darkened when he entered the room, and when he got used to the dim light inside, he could see the environment inside clearly.
To his surprise, although it was small, it was clean.
The patched quilt was neatly laid out on a simple wooden bed, and next to it was a table the size of a bedside table, on which were some bottles and jars, all of which were simple spices.
There was also a small stove next to the table, which had been wiped clean.
Anna sat down on the bed when she entered the room, then pointed to a small stool next to the stove and said, "Sit down." ”
Bai Zhengqing sat up, feeling that the whole person was shrinking into a corner.
But he didn't care, and said with a smile: "It seems that your popularity here is good." ”
This was evident from the fact that she dared to hang her clothes outside the house.
Of course, there are certain objective reasons, after all, the house is so small that there is no place to dry clothes.
Anna didn't answer him, but looked at him and asked, "Who introduced you?" ”
"Malesit." Bai Zhengqing said bluntly.
Hearing the name, Anna was distracted for a while, and finally sighed and said, "He's a good boy." ”
Bai Zhengqing didn't doubt this at all.
It can be seen from the large number of Indians recruited by Malesit's company that he is still very affectionate.
"I can see it." Bai Zhengqing said: "He also lived here when he was a child, right? A person who is ruthless and knows how to judge the situation must have had a bad time when he was a child. ”
Anna was silent again.
Bai Zhengqing knew that there must be some story between her and Malaisit, but it was not what he cared about.
He didn't ask his own questions directly, but said sincerely, "Your people should all live here, do you need my help?" Maybe I can take you out of here. ”
Bai Zhengqing estimated that the reason why this wizard lived here was probably because her clan was here.
And from the fact that no one will steal her clothes outside to dry, it can be seen that her prestige in the clan should be very high.
But to his surprise, Anna shook her head and said, "Matter is just a foreign thing, you can't save my people." ”
Bai Zhengqing understood that if these people wanted to get out of here, Malesit should be able to help them.
If the wizard in front of him is willing to nod, I am afraid that the other party should be happy to move them out of this cannibalistic slum.
But he was still very interested and said: "If it is convenient, you may as well tell me what difficulties your race is facing, after all, maintaining hope is the attitude that human beings should have." ”
Anna looked at the other party's sunny smile and bright eyes, and she was suddenly a little infected.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke, "We are a cursed bunch. ”
Curse? Bai Zhengqing was stunned.
He didn't understand exactly what the curse in Anna's mouth meant, but it was clearly not a good thing.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of curse is it?" ”
"Generations have been reduced to slaves of the demon gods."
Demon God?
Bai Zhengqing's eyes narrowed.
He instinctively felt that the demon god in Anna's mouth must have something to do with the devil.
"What does the Demon God want you to do?"
Since they are slaves, they must need to serve the demon gods, and Bai Zhengqing wants to dig out some information from what their clan wants to do.
"The women of the clan will be taken away by the demon gods when they reach adulthood and become their playthings."
"Then you ......" Bai Zhengqing didn't know how to ask.
Now that the women have been captured, how did Anna stay?
Wrong.
Suddenly, Bai Zhengqing reacted, since Anna knew so clearly, it means that she may have experienced this kind of thing herself.
Sure enough, Anna said, "I ran away from the kingdom of God." ”
The Kingdom of God?
Is it a grafting space?
Bai Zhengqing felt that the demon god in Anna's mouth might be the group of big demons hiding in the jungle of Yaxun.
Bai Zhengqing thought for a moment and said, "Because your clan was cursed by those demon gods in your mouth, you ran from the Yasun River Valley to settle here?" ”
Anna was stunned, she didn't understand how Bai Zhengqing knew that they had migrated from the Yasun River Valley.
She nodded and said, "That's right, our clan was originally a big tribe in the jungle of Asun, but more than a hundred years ago, strange phenomena suddenly began to occur in our clan, and women would disappear inexplicably when they became adults, so the wizards at that time felt that our race was cursed by the demon god." ”
The reason why it is a demon god is because the disappearance of a woman does not look like a good god is the work of a good god.
Bai Zhengqing judged in his heart.
"But at that time, many people did not dare to leave there, they were afraid that they would completely anger the demon god and lead to the destruction of the entire clan. Since then, some people who are not afraid of death have begun to go out of the tribe and integrate into human society. ”
Of course you have to go out if there are no women in the clan, otherwise what if the clan multiply?
Bai Zhengqing complained in his heart.
"At that time, there was an offer to let those girls have children before they became adults, but the people who proposed died the same day, so no one dared to think about it again."
That's amazing.
Bai Zhengqing sighed.
