After Allen finished what his mother told him clearly, he turned to look at the sky outside the door. It was still early, so he decided to say, "Cang Yue, I'm going out. Tell your mother that I won't eat at home at noon."
Now, just wait for the delicious dishes I bring back tonight."
After Allen finished speaking, he picked up the tusked spear beside him, put the bow on his back, and went out.
Cang Yue knew that Allen had spent almost all the family's savings in order to buy her things these days and to hire a doctor to treat her.
Allen's father died young, and Aunt Shalan did some knitting work at other people's houses to supplement the family income. The family's main source of income was through Allen's hunting. Her appearance made the family even worse.
She knew all this, but she didn't have the courage to step out of the door.
After leaving here, where else can she go, and can she still survive...
The sky was getting dark, and Aunt Shalan, who had already cooked the rice, was sitting at the table with Cang Yue. She looked out the door, but she still didn't see Allen coming back. She couldn't help but worry: "It's so late, why hasn't Allen come back yet?"
.”
Cang Yue paused and slowly raised her eyes to look at the sunset-red walkway outside the door. She saw the figures of several children living nearby who had just returned from playing and were running by. She also saw neighbors who had returned from the town.
The only one who didn't see Allen was that she looked back and saw the worried look on Aunt Shalan's face. She lowered her head and hesitated for a while, then put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and stood up.
"Cang Yue, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Allen."
Cang Yue picked up the book next to her, and without waiting for Aunt Shalan to stop her, she turned around and walked out of the door resolutely. She always had to do something, because... she didn't want to see Aunt Shalan's worried eyes, just like her mother's
…
In the woods in the evening, due to the dense concentration of big trees, no light can be illuminated, and the surroundings become dim. The moon steps on the grass under its feet, making a salsa sound, which echoes extremely clearly around, adding to the quiet woods.
A bit weird.
In fact, she was afraid of the dark, but her feet were not controlled by her thoughts, and she kept stepping deeper.
"Ellen!" She shouted to the surroundings, but the only response she received was the echo echoing inside.
As she got closer and closer to the lightless darkness, she suddenly heard a hissing sound, like the roar of a wild animal, and she immediately quickened her pace and ran forward.
When she came to the source of the sound, she saw a group of black creatures swarming towards her. She immediately hid in the grass in the distance and carefully poked her head out.
It was a creature with black fur that looked like a wolf. Unlike ordinary wolves, their eyes were all silver, and there was a crystal clear blue gem inlaid on their foreheads.
They gathered together, and Cang Yue soon discovered that their food was the young man lying in the middle, his clothes stained red with blood.
"Alan..."
She hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands and looked at the monsters in front of her in horror.
She was so scared that the blood in her whole body was flowing backwards, and she seemed to be able to hear the turbulent sound clearly.
no!
She has to escape, otherwise she will become food for those monsters.
Cang Yue stepped back, but her feet stepped on gravel on the ground. Although the sound was not loud, it could still be heard clearly in the dead silence of the woods.
When those monsters heard the sound, they immediately turned around and saw another human coming to the door. They were obviously a little excited.
Allen lay down on the ground and struggled to open his eyes. When he saw Cang Yue's figure, he was startled and said, "Cang Yue...run..." He lost too much blood and no longer had the strength to speak.
He didn't expect that there would be monsters in the woods. He wanted to go back and tell the villagers, but he was accidentally discovered by them.
These monsters changed their targets and swarmed towards Cang Yue.
