Chapter Ninety-Seven: Half a Year
"Why is your food getting bigger lately?"
Mingzhu and the three children were looking at the young man holding the pot in his arms with a dull face at the moment.
And the young man who had been immersed in hard work suddenly buried his head lower when he heard this, but then Mingzhu gave him some more fish.
"I want to move to live in a bamboo forest. ”
Mingzhu stared at the slightly honest face and said hesitantly.
The young man suddenly froze when he heard this, but it was only an instant that he returned to normal, and he met the girl's somewhat evasive look, and he had been waiting by the sea all this time, as if he was waiting for the boat to come, and seemed to be waiting for someone to come.
It's just that nothing waited.
"Good. ”
He agreed, and he had a feeling in his heart that no one would come to him, and no one would come.
Mingzhu smiled when he heard this.
This room, there are only five people, and this decision, the two of them can decide, say and move, after eating, he carried a firewood knife and walked to the bamboo forest, many days of familiarity, at this moment is already familiar with the road.
It was a very gentle place.
He hesitated a little when he looked at the green bamboo, because he always felt as if the bamboo had a life of its own, or rather looking at him, a pair of eyes that looked out of nowhere, he looked around blankly, quiet as the sea.
"Poof!"
As soon as the firewood knife in his hand turned, he finally chopped down, perfect angle, speed, and strength.
Interrupted.
But I saw that at the fracture of the green bamboo, countless red juice oozed out, gathered like beads, and then flowed down, as if it was blood, gushing more and more.
His face turned pale, and he saw that the firewood knife was also stained with blood, and he hurriedly retreated in panic, and the firewood knife in his hand was also thrown out.
It's just that when he looked at it again, he saw that there was still some blood, and the bamboo was still the same bamboo, and everything was like a dazzle.
Rubbing his eyes, he silently picked up the firewood knife again, and behind him, Mingzhu and a few of them also arrived, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the existing vines and bamboo, but in half a day, a few bamboo huts have been erected in the gentle place, and it took some time to move things, and in this way, everything is completed.
At this moment, it will be nearly dusk, and the sky is like blood, and it is dyed with boundless fire clouds, like the sky is burning, and the strange scenery is amazing.
At the moment when he raised his head, he saw a streamer in the sky, which flashed away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
It was a man, a man flying with a sword on both feet.
His eyes were shocked, but his gaze fell more on the man's feet, the sword, the reason why he looked at it was not because of the man, but just because it was the sword.
"What's that?"
He suddenly had a longing in his heart, and subconsciously muttered.
"That's a sword. ”
Mingzhu stood silently beside him, and she seemed to see it, and even saw what he saw.
"Sword?"
The young man turned his head in confusion, but he was met by the pair of black and white clear and flawless eyes, and his mind was suddenly blank, and his cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Mingzhu saw him like this, he suddenly felt funny, and his cheeks seemed to be a little red.
Even if Mingzhu turned around and left in the end, he still hadn't come back to his senses until Ono finally shouted.
In response, his gaze fell on the girl in the distance and then moved to the sky, the direction where the previous streamer had disappeared.
"Sword?"
He muttered again, as if this thing was important to him.
I shook my head and thought about it for a long time, but the memory before waking up in my mind was still blank, even blank, as if it had never appeared, it was a lot of obstacles.
......
In this way, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, he still hasn't remembered anything, and no one has come to him, and he seems to have forgotten that he has lost his memory, just thinking that he is a bamboo heart, fishing, eating, sleeping, and counting the stars.
In winter, the sea breeze is the coldest, like a knife, cutting the muscles and splitting the skin, and if it snows a little more, it will really be like a cold purgatory.
However, this bamboo forest is still evergreen, proud of snow and frost.
"Unintentional?"
Wrapped in a coarse garment made of animal skins, he looked at the bamboo around him with a little fascination.
Some time ago, he quietly went into the mountains, and this was the first time Mingzhu was angry with him, although he dragged back a roe deer and a yellow sheep.
Now in the early winter, both the old bears and wolves in the mountains are looking for food for the winter, and the deep mountains in the distance are even more inaccessible and full of miasma.
That time really made him at a loss, because there were really few fish caught during this time, the weather was cold, and he had no problem eating bamboo shoots every day, but considering the three children and Mingzhu, he was really a little helpless.
"Drink!"
"Hah!"
Two strange sounds sounded not far away, but it was Ono and Xiao Ke, each of them holding a bamboo stick, they didn't know who in the village said something about the swordsman, so they let him cut two bamboo sticks as if they were enchanted.
They have to fight for a while every day, but every time they have a few more abrasions on their faces and hands, they are even more happy.
The sound of the wind blows from the distant seashore and whistles through the rows of bamboo.
But the young man's brows furrowed, and his eyes changed, because there was some smell mixed in the wind, which was the smell of blood.
"Erniu, what did your sister do?"
He suddenly looked back at Erniu, who was staring at the two younger brothers on the other side.
"My sister said that there seems to be a merchant ship coming today, and she will go and see if she can change something. ”
Erniu couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw the change in his expression.
Before he could explain, the young man had already hurried to the beach, he had been here for so long, and he had not smelled the smell of blood wafting from the melting wind except for the fishy smell.
Sure enough, after running a short distance, I saw billowing black smoke in the distance, and there were shouts and laughter, but the laughter was the laughter of a jackal.
"Pirates or Rogues?"
He slowly hid behind a tree and looked around, and saw that although the ships anchored on the shore were flying the flags of merchant ships, those people were all full of fierce faces, some holding short knives, some holding long swords.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw that there were several corpses lying on the shallows, all of them were fishermen from the village, the source of the smell of blood.
Angry in his heart, he just wanted to stand up.
"Shh
But I saw a person not far away who was gesturing to himself, who was not Mingzhu.
Seeing that she was fine, the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But.
At this moment, he didn't want Erniu to follow, he didn't know if he was too scared or what, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground, and then hit a tree.
This collision unsurprisingly alarmed those people.
In the distance, I saw a person walking like flying, his body moving up, like a wild goose, but in just a few breaths, Er Niu only had time to get up, and he was caught by a hand like an iron tong, and he couldn't move at once.
Concern is chaotic, as soon as Er Niu was caught, Mingzhu was nervous and the harpoon in his hand was already stabbed out rapidly, but the middle-aged man in the brocade robe just casually flicked his left hand and pinched her neck.
"I can't imagine that this poor mountain and bad water and a woman of your appearance can be sold for a good price, and it is not in vain. ”
The middle-aged man was fair and slightly rich, but his eyes were very gloomy, and only when he saw the pearl did he change slightly.
"Bang!"
Mingzhu was willing to restrain his hand, and his right leg had already kicked towards his waist while struggling, but the man who kicked him with all his strength did not move.
The middle-aged man exerted his left hand, and suddenly Mingzhu was about to faint under suffocation.
And at this very moment.
"Put them down. ”
A bone-chilling voice suddenly came from beside him.
He turned his head to look, and saw a young man picking up a harpoon on the ground, different from the calm voice of the voice, the young man's eyes were hideous at the moment, as if he was going to choose someone to eat, slightly red, it was blood.
"Ahem......"
Under the middle-aged man's interested look, his hands were already loosened, and suddenly the sister and brother fell to the ground, coughing non-stop.
"There is another one, who is even more handsome than some rich sons with fine clothes and food, not bad...... Ho ho ......"
It's just that his next words didn't come out, and his gloomy eyes were already staring at the boss in vain, like the eyes of a dead fish, just because the harpoon had pierced his throat, one stab and one retraction, and the second blow pierced the heart directly, but two whimperes, he opened his mouth, looked at those cold eyes but spit out silently, and then breathed.
By this time, the gaze had moved from the corpses on the ground to those who were rushing to the seashore.
Needless to say, the figure has already met up, running, and will not work lightly, but it has never stopped, all the way, all the way to kill, often just a stab and a harvest, and then a person falls.
When Mingzhu and Er Niu came over and rushed over, they saw a figure covered in blood standing there stiffly.
And none of those people are alive.
