Chapter 5: The Beast in the Dark
After a night's rest,
Early the next morning, Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pora embarked on a journey.
After turning into a wild boar, the pig asks the animals in the vicinity about the situation.
After that, it was relayed to Tachibana Sakyo by Piggyon,
This shows how important it is to be able to master a foreign language.
The two of them inquired all the way and got a lot of information.
Following the direction of the animals, Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pora came to a road.
Since it is a road, there will definitely be pedestrians passing by, so you can ask them when the time comes.
Tachibana and Pig Pig didn't walk long along the road when a carriage came behind them.
Tachibana Sakyo waved when he saw the carriage,
The owner of the carriage came to a stop beside the two and asked where Pig Pig and Tachibana Sakyo were going.
Tachibana Sakyo replied:
"The two of us are travelers who have been walking for a day and want to find a nearby village to rest for the night. ”
When the coachman heard Tachibana Sakyo's answer, he was very friendly:
"Oh, I'm just going to the town ahead to pick up some goods, so I can give you a ride, let's get in the car. ”
With that, Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pig thanked the coachman and climbed into the carriage.
The coachman drove the carriage forward,
The three of them chatted from time to time in the carriage.
The carriage drove slowly forward until the sun went down.
The coachman sent Tachibana Sakyo and them to the town,
After saying goodbye to the coachman, he found a nearby inn and stayed for a while.
After dinner, the two were preparing to rest.
Suddenly, I heard a noisy sound outside, and just wanted to go out to check the situation, I saw that a dark shadow quickly flashed outside the window!
The speed of the Black Shadow is blazing!
The two of them just wanted to chase out to check the situation, but the black shadow had already disappeared into the darkness.
Looking downstairs, I saw a large group of people gathered on the road.
They look like they're chasing something.
Subsequently, Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pora also came to the street to inquire about the situation.
At this time, an uncle explained to them in a slightly frightened and helpless tone:
"Recently there was a monster in town,
It's pitch black, and I'm running fast,
The inhabitants who have seen it say that this monster has blue eyes and looks very scary.
Moreover, this monster has attacked many of the inhabitants, and everyone is now panicking!"
Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Poro got a general idea of the situation.
At this time, the crowd around was very noisy, and they were babbling:
"What can we do if this continues, if this monster is not eliminated for a day, we will not be able to live in peace for a day!"
At this moment, an old man on crutches walked up to the crowd and began to speak:
"Everyone, be quiet, if you want to catch this monster, you have to work together,
Tomorrow, I will notify all the residents of the town and discuss countermeasures together.
It's late at night today, so in order to avoid any further injuries, let's disperse quickly. ”
The old man's words were very effective, and the residents all agreed.
The crowd began to disperse.....
Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pora also returned to the hotel to rest first.
Early the next morning....
The square in the center of the town was full of people.
At this time, the old man from yesterday walked up to the podium.
Judging by his appearance, this old man should be the mayor of the town.
Afterwards, the mayor of the town began to speak:
"I brought everyone together today to discuss how to deal with this monster.
Everyone can post their good ideas. ”
As soon as the words fell, the people below began to talk about it.
However, no one can give a clear response.
At this moment, a young man who was in a flow of breath raised his hand to express his opinion.
When everyone saw it, they began to point fingers at him.
An uncle on the side rebuked viciously:
"You stinky boy, you have a bad stomach, what kind of bad ideas can you come up with!"
Tachibana Sakyo asked the residents on the side curiously:
"Who is this young man. Why is everyone so hostile to him?"
After a little understanding, the guy in front of him is called Victor,
is just a street slipper, he doesn't learn and has no skills on weekdays, so he likes to be cheated and abducted.
Many of the town's residents have fallen for him.
Although his father and fellow villagers are angry with what he does on weekdays, there is nothing they can do about him.
However, this kid has settled down a lot recently, and he hasn't gone around causing trouble anymore.
Victor ignored the comments of the people on the sidelines, and kept waving in the crowd.
After thinking for a moment, the mayor decided to listen to his attention first.
After getting the mayor's consent, Victor began to confidently express his high opinions:
"We can put a big bounty!
Each resident contributes a little money, and getting together is a lot of money,
When the time comes, whoever can catch the monster will give the bounty to whomever he wants, and there will be brave men under the heavy money!"
After listening to Victor's idea, everyone began to whisper below,
Many people think this is feasible!
The bounty is only a small amount for each person, so that those who have the ability to catch the monster don't have to take any risks themselves.
After everyone summed it up, they felt that this plan was feasible.
After that, fundraising began, and the money raised was temporarily kept by the mayor.
After all the money has been collected,
Boy!
A big bag of gold coins, anyone who looks at it will be tempted.
At this time, several brave men in the crowd had already discussed and were ready to form a team to capture.
In this way, they will also take care of each other, and the bounty will be divided equally among several people.
When Tachibana Zuojing saw this bag of gold coins, his heart was already itching, and he muttered to the pig in a low voice:
"Good brother, why don't we stay for a few more days and help catch the monster together!
As a chivalrous man, how can we sit idly by and ignore such a thing!"
When Zhu Zhuluo heard these remarks, he instantly cast an admiring look at the good brother in front of him,
I agreed to Tachibana Sakyo in one bite, and decided to stay and help catch monsters together.
The two returned to the hotel and began to think about what to do.
Although he decided to stay, everyone knew nothing about this blue-eyed monster.
I don't know what it looks like,
I don't know where it will haunt,
How do you get caught?
Just when the two of them had nothing to do, Tachibana Zuojing thought of a way:
"Since people don't know, then we can go and ask the animals, and inquire.
Pig pig you will become a wild boar in a while, go to the woods outside the town and ask,
Should be able to get some useful information. ”
So saying, the two of them came and went to the woods outside the town,
Pig Pig transforms into a wild boar and begins to look for nearby animals.
Looking, looking, suddenly a little squirrel ran out.
Pig Hello slowly leaned over to say hello.
I saw the two of them humming and chirping for a long time, and then the squirrel ran away.
After Pig Pora turned back into a human, he began to explain to Tachibana Sakyo:
"I had a good chat with the squirrel, but when I asked if I had seen it,
One is all black,
Blue-eyed monsters,
The squirrel became a little stumbling and finally said he hadn't seen it. ”
Tachibana Zuojing listened to the situation described by Zhu Zhuluo, and felt that there was definitely something greasy in it.
But I had no choice but to continue to inquire,
I asked several animals one after another, and every time Pig Pig asked, have you ever seen a monster with black and blue eyes,
The animals said they hadn't seen each other, and after that, they didn't want to communicate anymore and ran away.
I inquired all afternoon, but I didn't hear any news about the fart.
The two had no choice but to return home.
Back in the house, slumped on the table, the two of them really couldn't think of a good idea.
Just when you can't do anything....
Suddenly, there seemed to be movement outside the window, as if someone was knocking on the window.
Piggy walked to the window and opened it, only to see a little squirrel come out.
Piggy recognized it at a glance:
"Isn't this the little squirrel they met yesterday, why did they come to the door by themselves, do you have any news to tell us?"
Just as Pig Hello was about to transform into an inquiry, another dark shadow came in from the window.
What appeared in front of the two of them was the monster with black hair and blue eyes, which looked like a wolf and a fox.
The scene in front of him instantly scared the two of them into urine.
I just wanted to run out, but I was immediately blocked by monsters.
Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Pig were forced into a corner, seeing that the monster was getting closer and closer to them,
Tachibana Zuojing picked up the small stool on the side, ready to fight to the death,
At this time, the monster turned to look at the little squirrel and asked:
"These are the two people you're talking about? If I take two steps further, I'm sure they'll be so scared that they're going to pee their pants.
How can such a person help me?"
The two people who were originally frightened suddenly heard such words, and they were stunned on the spot.
Pig Pig checked his body:
"I didn't become a wild boar either, did I?"
But he did hear the monster in front of him talking, and then looked at Tachibana Sakyo and asked:
"Did you just hear it talking?"
Tachibana Sakyo replied with a look of horror:
"Listen~ I heard! It seems that there is something to ask us for help!"
At this time, the monster turned its head and looked at the two of them,
He deliberately stepped back a distance and began to say:
"A lot of animals just came up to me and told me that two humans were in the forest this afternoon to inquire about me.
Interestingly, one of them can also turn into a wild boar to communicate with them.
Animals have a natural instinct to sense each other's good and bad, and they all think that neither of you is a bad person.
Maybe it can help me. ”
Tachibana Zuojing and Pig Pig looked at each other for a moment and asked:
"What do you want us to help you?"
The monster continued:
"You must have heard about my attack on humans lately, but of course it wasn't what I wanted!
I had just given birth to my baby, and in the days since I gave birth, I was at my weakest.
At this moment, you humans took the opportunity to steal my child.
Originally, I and human beings were non-violent,
But in order to find my child, I had to sneak into the town many times to find the whereabouts of my child, but it was always in vain.
I don't trust humans, but the other animals choose to trust you.
So I also choose to believe in you, and I hope you two can help me get my child back!"
Let's talk about it....
The blue-eyed monster jumped on the doorframe, turned back and said:
"If you are willing to help me, tomorrow afternoon, in the woods outside the town, I will wait for you there. ”
After saying that, he disappeared directly into the darkness.
After listening to everything the blue-eyed monster said just now, Tachibana Sakyo and Pig Poro sensed some conspiracy!
If it is as it says, then as long as it finds its children and returns them, then it will be the best of both worlds.
On the one hand, you don't have to make fearless sacrifices,
On the other hand, they can also reunite with mother and child, and they are all happy!
Tachibana Zuojing discussed with Pig Pig and decided to go to the woods tomorrow first, and then make specific plans after understanding the situation.
