Chapter Ninety-Three: Alu, the Strange Dog
After a short rest, Wren went to the farmer's house named Chir.
The other villagers kept the boar for him, and they promised to help him make the boar into a convenient jerky, which Wren would take with him when he left, and Wren would give them a small portion of the corresponding gift.
When Wren was more concerned, when Chill appeared, the other villagers seemed to be a little unnatural, and there were a lot of people who gathered around to watch the excitement, but after he came, they all dispersed, as if there was some story about this Chill.
After the two of them arrived at Kill's house and sat down, Wren withdrew his scrutiny and said to Kill, "What do you need me to help you?" To be honest, I'm not in a great situation right now, and I was a little injured when I just shot the boar. If there are any monsters to fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to help for a while. ”
Quill said excitedly, "No problem, Adventurer, as long as you promise to help me, you can stay with me to recuperate until you feel well." I will try my best to help you find any medicine you need to heal your wounds and what you can eat. ”
Wren was a little curious, judging from the outfit of this family, Chill's situation was not too good. In such a difficult environment, a person with a broken leg can imagine that life is not easy.
"May I ask what exactly you want me to do for you?"
"It's a mad dog, I want you to help me kill it!"
"Crazy...... Mad dog? ”
"Yes, that's right." "I used to be a blacksmith, I have my own wife and children, and I have a dog at home, his name is Alu. Alu is a strange dog, a few years ago an adventurer brought him to the village, but he was seriously injured in a battle, and he could not recover in a short time, and the adventurer probably didn't want to carry a burden, so he threw Alu down and ran. I thought it was pitiful, and the family was quite wealthy at the time, barely able to afford a dog, so I left it behind. After a long period of feeding, Alu's injuries have basically recovered. It's not as good as it used to be, but it's also a very powerful dog. ”
"Originally, everything was fine, Alu listened to me very much, and usually even went out to pick up some small animals by himself, and got rid of his own food, and there was still a lot left for us, and my family's life was better. At that time, the neighbors were very envious of us, saying that we had picked up a treasure. Didn't expect ......"
Wren frowned, looking at Chill's current appearance, he knew that the follow-up would not be so good.
"What didn't you expect?"
"Two years ago, there was a famine in our country, and everyone had nothing to eat, and only our family could barely survive on Alu's hunting and food. Others tried to go out in search of food, only to come back with cold corpses, which were still too dangerous for us farmers. ”
Everyone else couldn't fill their stomachs, but the Chill family relied on Alou to eat every day, and Wren seemed to have thought about what would happen next.
Sure enough, Qil's words later confirmed his thoughts.
"At first, some villagers came to my house and hoped that we could give them some food, but Alu is only a dog that has been injured, so how much food can he bring back every day? And during the famine, the animals outside also became extremely ferocious, and Alu often came back with injuries. Just a little bit of food, left for our family to eat, there is not much left. Sometimes I was hungry so that my wife and children and Alu could be fed. Because I know that only if Alu is okay will we have any hope of survival. ”
"We gave them something to eat, but soon more people begged us to give them something. So the people caught Alu's attention, and one morning, I heard a wail outside the door, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Alu, covered in wounds. At first, I thought that Alu had been injured while hunting, and I quickly carried him back to the house, but I found that the wound on his body was obviously beaten! There were even knife wounds! ”
Chill said this, with a look of resentment and anguish.
"Alu was injured and our family's food source was gone, so I bandaged Alu and the family survived with a little surplus food, and there was no food to eat. At this time, some people came to my house and said that Alu was dying, and it was better to ...... These bastards are obviously the Alu they wounded! I scolded them to my face and drove them away. But, no matter what, the problem of food is still weighing on our family. ”
Then one day, Alou dragged his injured body out to hunt again. When I saw that its wound was oozing blood again, I was literally in tears. ”
Wren seemed to have an even worse premonition in his heart: "What about Alu?" ”
"It's crazy." Chill didn't know what mood he was in, and he said, "The people of the village found out that Alu was bringing us food again, and they attacked it again. After all, Alu is a strange dog, not an ordinary dog, plus it has been hungry for many days, under the beating of everyone, Alu went crazy, it bit a few people to death, and no one was its opponent. The village chief ran to my house crying and told us to stabilize Alu, saying that if we didn't go to the village, it would be over. ”
"My wife and children also rushed to Alu, and after hearing that Alu had an accident, they also wanted to go with them, but I couldn't persuade them, and the village chief kept urging us to kneel down, so I agreed. However, after we rushed over, we couldn't stabilize Alu, and it ...... Attacks were launched against me and my family. My family was bitten to death, and after biting off one of my legs, Alu finally came to his senses, and then it ran away......."
Wren took a deep breath to calm his mood a little: "Then later? ”
"The famine continued, but every day I could find something to eat at my doorstep, and each time it was divided into three servings, two for adults and one for children, and the portion was just right. I knew it was Aluja who had returned, but it never appeared in front of me again. ”
Wren sighed, and then said to Qil, "Although there is some suspicion of saying this coldly, I think, Mr. Zil, Alu should not be blamed for this matter. You're going to let me kill it......"
Chill lowered his head: "I don't hate Alu, I don't want it to suffer anymore." Alu still brings me food, but he is only a badly injured dog, and after a few beatings, I can imagine how difficult it can be to hunt now. Besides, Alu is so human, and he has a very good relationship with my family, and now he refuses to be in front of me, which means that he is also very painful about the death of my wife and son, and if he continues like this, it will only make it uncomfortable, so I want to ask you to help Alu get free. ”
Wren closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, his heart was very blocked after hearing this, and he didn't know if he should help Kill.
