Chapter 6 The Danger That Is Not Far Away
The air of confrontation is becoming more and more solemn, and everyone is waiting for an opportunity to break the deadlock. However, it wasn't the low roar that everyone imagined that broke it, the cry was very shrill and fragile, and it sounded like it was underage?!
Sure enough, when the little "beast" crawled out with a waddling step, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, with a round head, small drooping ears, and short limbs, no one would associate these with the word "threat". The owners of those eyes around them are all harmless "little cute things" of humans and animals, and when they "babble" and call, Ah Chen and they found that the other party didn't even have full teeth. This makes everyone scared and at the same time a little happy, and even a little disappointed? "No, how could I think that?" Ah Chen shook his head, trying to throw this thought out of his head.
"Why don't we go back?" Niu Niu was really frightened now, his face turned blue, and he said in a trembling voice. If you want to go back, it's definitely no problem, Ah Shun and Yaya must agree. If you want to keep going, where is it enough? It's okay for Niu Niu to fall down this time, they met an animal that hasn't grown up, but what about next time? In case one of them falls off a cliff, in case they are besieged by ferocious beasts...... Before Ah Chen could speak, Xiaoguang preemptively said, "Okay, let's go back." ”
Ah Chen was a little puzzled in his heart, Xiaoguang, who had always been reckless, actually proposed to end it in advance this time, was he also afraid? He stared at Hikaru in the face, trying to see something different from his usual meaning, but the latter looked relaxed, as if he had agreed to go back only because he was bored.
"What's wrong? After all this time, did you finally recognize my beauty? Saying that, Xiaoguang also stroked his not long hair quite narcissistically. Vomit~~~" Ah Chen's stomach was empty, and he almost vomited.
"Alright, let's go back." Ah Chen wiped his mouth, as if pretending that he had really vomited.
"Oh~~~~~" Niu Niu jumped up happily. Unlike Ah Chen, he really jumped up, not at all like he was so scared that he couldn't stand just now.
A huge shadow fell, and the little ants were so frightened that they fled all over the ground. Curiously, they are still alive and well, and there have been no casualties. It was a huge monster passing by, but it didn't feed on them, and it didn't notice the tiny creatures beneath its feet. The shadows that fall are the furry claws of the monsters, and the gaps in them are large enough for the little ants to pass through. The so-called danger is nothing more than scaring oneself.
"That's where we came down." Xiaoguang looked left and right, stood at the bottom of the slope and said. The group came out of the cave, next to the dirt slope they came down from, so it shouldn't be wrong. When I turned around, one, two, three, four, the number of people was fine, but the girl was holding a blue fluffy animal in her arms, which looked like a puppy in a cave. "Yaya, you are ......" "This puppy is so cute, I want to take one back." Seeing the silence of the others, Xiaoguang raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more.
When the ants came, they were full of anticipation and curiosity about the world, and they stopped and stopped along the way, and now they have seen the dangers of the world, and they naturally did not hesitate on the way home. So, the speed on the return trip is much faster.
They had never been so greedy for the lights in the village. When a turn appears, a soft light and familiar people appear in the distance, their hearts seem to fall to the ground all of a sudden, and a sense of security arises spontaneously.
"Go home!!!
Finally, after going through a lot of dangers (and it seems that they didn't go through anything), these little ants who left home finally returned home.
The sky was getting dark, the fiery sun was replaced by a cold moon, and fireflies fluttered wildly at the edge of the forest. A ferocious bird suddenly swooped down from the sky, disrupting their flying trajectory.
Ah Chen sat alone in the courtyard, blowing the gentle night breeze, his right hand on his cheek, as if he was thinking about something. The moonlight was draped on his body, and his undeveloped but upright facial features, but there was also a little bit of beauty. If you get closer, you can hear him muttering:
"This time I went to the forest and didn't get anything, so I picked up a not very clever puppy, I don't know what the wild dog tastes like, it's better to wait for her to grow up, let's borrow it to play, and then ......"
Well, the beauty is gone.
Just as Ah Chen was spending his boring time alone in the courtyard, the path outside the gate was occupied by noise, except for the strong men who usually went to the forest to hunt, and the women who were in charge of housework at home, or holding a large knife for chopping wood, or holding a farm tool for work, all walked towards the direction of the forest in unison, everyone had an anxious look on their faces.
"What's going on?" Ah Chen looked at this sudden change, and couldn't help but have a wave of doubts in his heart. "Uncle Xing?" "Uncle Liu?" But those people hurried by the door, and none of them replied to him. It is better to ask for others than for yourself, and Ah Chen also blended into the crowd and followed them towards the forest.
At the border between the forest and the village, the intersection was blocked by a dense crowd of people. Although it was close to midnight, the torches held high in people's hands still lit up the place as bright as day. The noisy sound kept coming out, and the atmosphere was even warmer than a bonfire party for a while.
"That's ...... Wolves?! They shouldn't be around the village. ”
"What can I do now, I still have an elderly mother at home."
"Don't panic, let's stand here for a while and this group of animals won't dare to come."
Here, Ah Chen saw Xiaoguang, Niu Niu, Ah Shun, Yaya, Uncle Liu, Uncle Xing, Uncle Yu, Uncle Gui, and Aunt Li...... In this way, it seems that all the people in the village, except for the elderly who have difficulty moving, have gathered here.
After a brief hello to his little friend, Ah Chen squeezed to the front of the crowd along the gap between the crowd, and sure enough, Chen Wentao stood there and confronted the wolves wordlessly. His expression was solemn, and it seemed that he had to spend all his strength in and out.
Chen Wentao noticed Ah Chen squeezing out of the crowd and shouted in a low voice, "Ah Chen, what are you doing here!?" Go back!! Turning his head, he found that all the children behind Ah Chen were there, so he raised his voice and continued to shout: "What are you children doing here?!" This is an adult's business, hurry up and go back! ”
Ah Chen looked ahead through the light of the fire that passed not far away, and in the dark night, there were countless pairs of eyes that radiated coldness, almost occupying the entire darkness that could not reach. Now, they are staring viciously at the prey in front of them, and even if they don't make any sound, they can bring people an endless sense of oppression.
