One hundred and seventeenth chapter evil star
"Have you ever heard of evil stars?" Zhuzi and Fang Zhou saw that Yi Wen seemed to be thinking about something.
"I once heard a hunter from our village say it. I always thought it was just a story, but I didn't expect it to be true." Yi Wen thought for a while and said.
"Evil star" is a term spread among hunters. It is not a scary thing for ordinary people. But it is different for hunters.
Before every hunter goes into the mountains to hunt, he will place a basin filled with water in the room. The water in the basin must be kept in the house or small yard for two hours. After returning, the hunter must put his clothes and hunting equipment in the room.
Rinse it in the basin, which is a bit like catching the wind and washing away the dust.
Because hunters see blood in the mountains, it will attract some unclean things. Washing with water means to wash away the unclean things on their bodies, so that they can be safe next time they enter the mountains.
If the water has a normal turbidity after washing the clothes, it means that the unclean things have been washed away. If other colors come out, it means that they encountered unclean things in the mountains and will never be able to go there again.
.
"Uncle Zhang, did you meet that child that day?" Yi Wen took two steps closer and said to Zhang Orion.
"Ever since I went into the mountains alone, nothing has happened to me. But after I met that evil star, the color of the water I washed my clothes on the first day was a little strange, and the second day the water turned out to be purple.
It's unknown! It's unknown!" Zhang Orion held his head, looking like he regretted meeting that child.
"Purple water!?" Yi Wen was a little surprised.
Liu Qian once said that if purple water comes out of clothes, it means that something unclean has been encountered. If red water comes out of clothes, then you will never be able to enter the mountain again. No matter where you are, red water represents a disaster of blood and light.
You can hide for a while but you can't hide for a lifetime.
After Yi Wen told Zhu Zi and Fang Zhou about the secret, they finally understood why Zhang Orion never dared to hunt there again.
The first time I met the child, I could wash out purple water. Could it be that the child was really the evil star that the hunter said?
Yi Wen and the others thought about the child's love for the puppy, and there was really no way to train the child and the evil star together.
"You're right. Since you know what's going on, I advise you not to go, otherwise you don't know what will happen." Zhang Orion glanced at Yi Wen and the others and said.
After Yi and Wen thanked Zhang Orion, they bought a few torches from him and left Zhang Orion's house. Then they came to the place where they met the child just now. The three of them stood there blankly without speaking.
"Should we go and have a look?" Zhuzi still couldn't let go of the child in her heart. She couldn't imagine how a child of that size could survive in the mountains.
Yi Wen nodded. When their village was destroyed last year, he was fourteen years old and already had the ability to survive on his own. But a child who looked about the same size as Xiao Jin was really uneasy. Fang Zhou naturally agreed. He saw
Zhu Yiwen and Zhuzi nodded firmly and said.
"Don't be nervous, we are people who just came out alive from the Beast King's Tomb. I don't believe that this mountain can be more dangerous than the Beast King's Tomb." Fang Zhou smiled and patted Yi Wen's shoulder.
When they entered the village, Yi Wen saw the direction the child was leaving. They lit the torch before entering the mountain. Yi Wen walked in front and led them in one direction.
Although they called this place a mountain when chatting, it was actually a small hill and not very high. The road was not as difficult as the ones they had walked before, and the surrounding trees were very scattered. If anything happened, they would
You can also find it immediately.
The light from the torch illuminated their surroundings very clearly. Although the woods here were a little different from the usual ones, it was still normal.
"That child shouldn't be able to walk far. He should be here soon." Yi Wen said while observing the surrounding environment.
Sure enough, not long after they walked, a simple tent made of dead branches and a few rags appeared in their sight. However, this could only be called a tent, with four branches and a rag with the most basic tent.
There was no shelter from the wind and rain. Apart from a bed made of some dry leaves, there were only two broken bowls left in the tent.
"Then the child lives here?" Zhuzi frowned. Girls are born with sympathy for tragic experiences, and Zhuzi felt really distressed when he saw this place.
Fang Zhou picked up the bowl in the tent and brought it to his nose to smell it. When he asked about the smell in the bowl, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
"This kid...has been eating dirt and leaves." There are only two flavors in the bowl, the smell of rotten earth and the smell of leaves.
"This puppy eats well. It seems to taste like meat? Raw meat? What's another taste?" Fang Zhou was a little surprised. How could such a small dog eat raw meat? And since he had a way to get meat, why?
If you don't eat a little, you will die if you keep eating dirt.
Just as they were walking around, a figure suddenly flashed not far away.
"It's that child!" Zhuzi pointed at a black figure in the distance and shouted to Yi and Wen.
"Kid, don't run! We are not bad people!" Zhuzi shouted to the black figure as he ran.
A child's legs and feet were naturally not as fast as the three of them. After a while, the three of them caught up with the figure, but when they caught up, something seemed wrong.
The child they saw this time seemed a little different from the child they saw in the morning. The child had his back to them, his head in his arms, and his body was shaking slightly.
From the back, it can be seen that there are some blood stains on his clothes, his head is still wrapped with a thick layer of gauze, and the little yellow dog next to him is also missing.
"Kid, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Zhuzi took a deep breath and knelt down next to the child, gently touching his head and saying.
Just when Zhuzi was about to continue to comfort him, the child suddenly pushed Zhuzi away and then lay on the ground.
Just when Yi Wen and the others didn't realize why the child was doing this, a black shadow suddenly flashed past where Zhu Zi was squatting just now, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Don't chase!"
Just when Yi Wen was about to chase him, the child lying on the ground suddenly shouted with a cry.
"Don't chase! Don't chase!"
"It's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine as long as we are here." Yi Wen walked to the child, held the child in his arms, and touched the child's head and said, but the child's body was still shaking.
When Yi Wen straightened the child's body, they finally saw what the child looked like, and all three of them were stunned.
When the child saw that the three people saw his appearance, tears streaked down his face and he turned away.
This child... has a dark red birthmark on the left half of his face, and there is a lumpy thing on the birthmark. The right half of his face is tied up with gauze and only one eye is exposed. The exposed eye is also the same as the left one.
The eyes are not the same size, I wonder what else is under those gauze...
