Chapter 8: The Black Beauty
It was an Ao dog, all black, with only a pinch of white hair on its chest.
It was unusually large, with about two wild wolves on top of it, with a wide skull, thick bones, and bulging muscles, which looked somewhat like a modern-day Kasro.
It is a standard large fierce dog.
Miss Rabbit was startled by the black dog's appearance, and she hurriedly pulled out the ruby knife at her waist.
However, the knife, which was less than a foot long, obviously did not give her much security, so the girl turned her eyes to Li Yu on the side.
Desperately glaring at the latter, don't you mean a prophet, tell your boss to strike on Saturday, and send down a miracle or something to drive this dog away.
However, Li Yu didn't see it, and after a while, he just took off the black suit on his body and put it on the girl's shoulders.
He noticed that the black dog had lost more hair on its neck than elsewhere, which was usually caused by wearing a collar, which meant that it was a hunting dog with an owner.
But that's not necessarily good news for the two.
After another moment, Miss Rabbit heard a voice from the woods behind the bushes.
"Black Beauty, come back!"
When the dog heard this, he immediately left the two people at the fire, turned around and ran into the bushes again.
When it returned, it followed a man.
"Good evening, where are you going?"
"Scaly City."
Miss Rabbit hadn't forgotten why she had fled from Rock Snow City in a hurry, and since the huntress had just taught her a lesson, she was now extra wary of strangers she met in the wild.
I wanted to send the person in front of me away after indiscriminately reporting the name of the place, but I didn't expect the latter to be surprised, "Multiscale City? I'm also planning to go to Multiscale City, so why don't we go together, and multiple people can be safer. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Ilea and Li Yu to answer, he had already walked to the fire, sat down, and then took off the hood on his head, revealing the face below.
The girl was stunned for a moment after seeing that face, and then subconsciously leaned in the direction of Li Yu.
"I'm sorry to scare you, but I'm not a bad person, this half of my face was gnawed by a bear, and the beast attacked me from behind while I was fetching water from the stream, and pressed me to the ground, and bit me on the right side of my cheek, and half of my cheek disappeared.
"It was the Black Beauty who saved me at the crucial moment, and she pounced on the bear desperately, and by barking incessantly and biting and harassing the beast's attention, it won me a chance to escape.
"I've sworn ever since that I'll never starve my good dog as long as I have half Jude in my mouth."
After saying that, Jude took out a piece of jerky made of unknown animal meat from his bag and threw it to the black beauty on the side.
The latter pounced on it and swallowed the jerky in one gulp.
Jude reached out and stroked the hound's head, then looked up at Li Yu and Ilea.
"No matter where I go, no matter how careful I go, I will always get into trouble, and that's why I have to go to Scaley City alone.
"Why do you two not take the good road and prefer to sleep in this wilderness?" But before he could speak, he apologized again.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be nosy, it's just that I've been in the company of beasts, flies and insects for the past few days, and it's rare to meet a few people to talk to, so I can't control this mouth again."
Ilea and Li Yu glanced at each other, and then spoke, "Uh...... We got into some trouble, the harvest was not good before, so we went to the lord to borrow a sum of money for emergency, but the next year the field was plagued again, we didn't pay the money, and we didn't want to sell ourselves into slavery, so we had to flee to a distant relative in the city of Scales. ”
"Really? Then good luck to you. ”
He looked at the girl with a half-smile on his face, but he did not dwell further on the subject, he boiled some beans on the campfire, filled his stomach with bread, and then lay down early.
And his big black dog lay quietly beside him.
It didn't take long for Jude to snore loudly, and Miss Rabbit sneakily touched Li Yu's side, and said in a low voice, "Hey, do you think he will be the killer my stepmother found?" ”
"I don't rule it out."
"Then what should we do, do we have to strike first and knock him out?" The girl kept peeking at the big black dog, "Hmm...... We had to find a way to separate him from his dog. ”
"For the time being, it's better not to act rashly," Li Yu said, "The lies you made up before are so bad, as long as people who are not blind can see that we are not dressed in this way, and our skin color and behavior will not be peasants."
"And since he knew that there was something wrong with our identity, and it was wild here, it would be difficult to bump into anyone else, he dared to sleep so reassuringly. Either he didn't really fall asleep, or he fell asleep but didn't worry about us going to do anything to him, either of which means he's not going to be able to deal with him. ”
"Then leave it at that, in case he ...... after we fall asleep at night," Miss Rabbit made a gesture of wiping her neck, and her expression became more and more nervous, "and you notice that his right waist is just under his cloak, and a small piece protrudes out of it."
"Just now when he was crouching there teasing his dog, I saw that there was a handaxe hidden there! I don't want to wake up the next morning to find my head gone. ”
"Got it," Li Yu said, "You can rest assured, I'll keep a vigil for you." ”
He slept well in his own bed in the rental house last night, and at this time, he was in a good state of mind when he first started to work, and he didn't feel sleepy, plus the overtime in the previous jobs was the norm, and Li Yu also had a lot of experience in staying up late.
A night of vigilance is no big deal.
Ilea looked at Li Yu's arms and legs, and then at the half of his face lying not far away, as well as his sturdy hound, and let out a faint sigh.
But in the end, he grabbed the suit on his body and lay down next to Li Yu.
Miss Rabbit said something in her mouth, she should be praying to the goddess of the silver moon, and she looked like a group of students fighting at night in the corridor of the dormitory a week before the final exam, full of desire to survive.
On the other hand, Li Yu just sat by the fire and didn't say a word.
Ireya didn't know what this self-proclaimed prophet was thinking at this moment, but seeing that Li Yu was still as calm as before, without the slightest panic, the heart she had been holding in her throat was slightly lowered.
After praying to the goddess of the silver moon, she held the necklace on her chest and silently called the name of the ancestors, praying for protection, but unfortunately the ancient spirit still did not respond.
Maybe she should try that Saturday again? After all, it is important to save her life, even if the goddess of the silver moon knows about it, she should not blame her, the girl just closed her eyes in her thoughts.
Although she was still worried that her head would move, Elia had not had an easy time at all in the past few days, and as soon as her spirit relaxed a little, tiredness came one after another.
Just as she was dazed and about to fall asleep, the earth suddenly shook.
It's a horseshoe! There are riders approaching here!!
