Half-elf Mengsa looked at Sun Ran in shock and repeated: "Fifteen years? How old are you now?"
Why does he look like this man is a little young?
"It should be fifteen or sixteen, I'm not sure." Sun Ran said.
"That is to say, you can remember things since you were born, and you still haven't forgotten them now? Isn't this a bit too false?" Mengsa didn't believe it.
"That's probably it. Anyway, when I first started to remember, I was still crawling on the ground. Over the years, the thing that impressed me the most about elves is the cold cruelty hidden under their beautiful appearance," Sun Ran said.
Hearing this last sentence, Mengsa suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. He also sat on the branch and agreed: "You are absolutely right. Look at me, half-elf, I have never messed with that gang.
Elves, but every elf will desperately try to catch me and kill me when they see me. This is really inexplicable."
"Because your existence has tarnished the perfection of the elves." Sun Ran smiled.
"Indeed, it's such an incomprehensible idea." Mengsa sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Then since you are not stupid, and on the contrary are extraordinarily smart, I will definitely not be able to deceive you. What are you going to do to me?
manage?"
Sun Ran did not answer but asked: "Do you have the magic crystal of the Fire Demon Lion?"
"So what? If not? So what?" Mengsa asked, looking at Sun Ran warily.
"If not, then you lead the way and take me to the Fire Demon Lion. I need this magic crystal. If there is one, give it to me now and I will let you go."
When he said this, Mengsa took a long breath, patted his heart and said, "You scared me. I thought that if I didn't have the magic crystal, you were going to take me back to Elf Post to claim credit."
He stood up from the branch. He reached into his arms and touched it a few times before taking out a bead as big as a fingernail and as big as a ruby: "Here, do you feel it? Does this thing have the aura of fire magic?"
"indeed."
"It belongs to you, lucky guy." Mengsa threw the 'ruby' to Sun Ran and explained: "This is the magic crystal of the fire demon lion. Two fire demon lions are shopping for it. I got it cheap.
I thought it was my luck, but I didn't expect it to be yours."
Sun Ran put away the magic crystal: "Thank you."
"Then what are your plans for the future?" Monsa asked.
"I don't know. I don't plan to take you back. But if I do this, I will have no place in the elves, so I don't know where to go." Sun Ran looked confused.
Mengsa clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is not easy. You follow me. There is a human settlement more than a hundred miles east of here. I live there, you go back with me."
"Will they accept me?" Sun Ran asked.
"Of course! You are originally from the human race. You are so strong, they are eager for you to come over." Mengsa's expression was exaggerated: "It's not like you don't know how miserable the human race is. The forest is full of enemies, werewolves, elves, and beasts.
Poisonous insects, there are few things that are not dangerous. Humans are the abandoned children of the Creator!"
Seeing Sun Ran's interested look, he continued: "When we get there, they will definitely worship you as a warrior. You eat the best, wear the best, and enjoy the most beautiful women. You change every night.
No one will complain."
Sun Ran had one last doubt: "If I go, the elves will definitely come to search for me, which will bring you bad luck."
"No, brother!" Mengsa laughed self-deprecatingly, with a nonchalant look on his face: "We and the elves have always been mortal enemies, and misfortune has always followed us. Death can come at any time. We have all become accustomed to this precarious life."
Having said that, Sun Ran nodded: "Okay then."
Mengsa burst out laughing, opened his arms and hugged Sun Ran, and said warmly: "Brother, welcome home!"
"Let's go, you lead the way, I'll follow you."
"No, you should carry me and walk. I will show you the way. It will be faster if you walk this way." Mengsa said with a smile.
"That's fine."
Sun Ran carried the half-elf, changed the path, and moved forward along the path pointed by the half-elf.
After walking for about five hours, a clear stream appeared in front of us.
"Following the stream, there is a river beach with a good view. We live there." Mengsa smiled, then patted Sun Ran's hand and said, "Put me down first. Now you put on your clothes."
You're wearing elf armor, don't be misunderstood. Well, you'd better take off your helmet first."
Sun Ran complied.
After landing, Mengsa straightened his robe and walked down the stream for more than ten minutes. The stream became wider and wider and turned into a small river. There were open river beaches on both sides of the river. Many simple buildings were built on both sides of the river beach.
shack.
Mengsa smiled bitterly and introduced to Sun Ran: "It's just ahead. In the forest, we are really no match for the elves... Of course, we are not their match here either. But the view here is wide, and the elves can be spotted as soon as they appear.
, and then we will escape as soon as possible. As many as we can escape, hehe."
As if to confirm what he said, as soon as Mengsa and Sun Ran appeared, they were spotted by the sentry at the mouth of the river beach. The sentry immediately imitated the bird call and ran back quickly.
As soon as the birds chirped, a large number of people rushed out of the shack area, most of them were old people, children, women, and there were also young men, but the number was very small.
These people did nothing but ran down the river.
As soon as Mengsa saw it, he knew that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly shouted: "Oh, don't run, don't run, it's not the enemy! It's not the enemy!"
The people on the river beach recognized him, but they did not stop running, but their speed slowed down a lot. The sentry at the end shouted: "Mengsa, what is going on? Why did you bring an elf back?"
"Can you see clearly, is this an elf?! Are there any elves with such rough looks? Are there any elves with round ears?" Mengsa pointed at Sun Ran's face.
As soon as he said this, the people on the river beach stopped.
The sentry walked up tremblingly, looked at Sun Ran, who was tall and strong, and his arms were thicker than his calves, and asked tremblingly: "Then why is he wearing an elf armor?"
"Oh, it's a long story. Let's go. Let's talk about it after we enter the village." Mengsa waved to Sun Ran and said with a smile: "The village is a bit run-down, so don't look down on it."
Sun Ran shook his head: "No matter how broken you are, it's better than being a slave."
Mengsa gave Sun Ran a thumbs up, then turned to the hesitant villagers on the river beach and said: "Hey, what are you standing for? Come back, come back. Catch fish where you should catch fish, cook where you should cook,
Don't dawdle."
After shouting like this, everyone came back in shock.
Sun Ran counted and found that there were about a hundred people in the whole village. There were old people, but not many, only a dozen, judging by their appearance. None of them were over fifty years old. Women accounted for the majority, there were more than seventy, and the rest
There were more than 20 children and five men below. These men were all injured and had difficulty moving.
These more than 100 people have one common characteristic, that is, they have a sallow complexion and thin muscles. They are not fully clothed, so how can they be called "miserable"?
"The men have all gone hunting... The fifteen in the forest just now were from the village... Unfortunately... these five young men are the only ones left in the village now," Mengsa explained in a low voice.
Unfortunately, they were all killed by Trini and Eliza. Sun Ran remained silent and deeply understood the misery of the human race.
"It will get better." Sun Ran could only say this.
When they arrived at the village, Mengsa took Sun Ran into a relatively nice shack, which had very few furnishings, including a bed padded with animal skins. There were no chairs, just a big stone that served as a table, and nothing else.
.
Mengsa sat cross-legged in front of the stone and said to a thin woman who followed him in: "Anna, go and find the best things in the village to entertain the distinguished guests."
The woman nodded, first picked off the bacon hanging on the beam on one side, cut it into small pieces and served it, then started to boil water. After boiling the water, she left the shed.
After a while, she brought in a fresh fish, some smoked dried fish, and some dried wild fruits. After placing them all on the stone table, she began to slice the fresh fish, mixed some unknown seasonings, put them into the boiling water, and stewed them.
Fish soup.
Mengsa smiled generously and said: "Anna is my wife... don't think these things are too simple, just enjoy them as you like."
After he finished speaking, Sun Ran keenly noticed that the thin woman's expression moved slightly and hesitated to speak, so he knew that she must be reluctant to let him go.
Also, looking at the conditions, I guess this is the best thing in the whole village, and it will be gone after eating it.
However, this was Mengsa's wish, and Sun Ran was not polite. He was also hungry, and he ate with big mouthfuls. He ate all the food on the table like a storm, but he was still only half full and still had more to eat.
Mengsa only had a few bites, and then he found that there was no food on the table. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "There is a little bit of food, are you not full? I'm really sorry."
Sun Ran laughed and said: "No problem, I'll go to the river to catch a big fish."
With that said, he walked out of the shack, walked to the river, took off the elf bow, loaded the bow with an arrow, and waited quietly for a while. Suddenly he opened the bow, and there was a "crash" sound, and an arrow entered the water. After a while,
A fat salmon more than one meter long and weighing more than ten kilograms floated up.
Villagers had seen it earlier and followed them from a distance. Now seeing this scene, they all looked at Sun Ran with admiration. Several children aged seven or eight looked excited and wanted to go down to the river to fish, but they were afraid.
Sun Ran blamed it and scratched his head anxiously.
"Go ahead and catch it, be careful." Sun Ran said with a smile.
The child immediately rushed into the river, and three or four people worked together to lift the salmon up.
Mengsa followed up and when he saw this scene, he praised: "Awesome, this fish is fat enough."
Sun Ran smiled and said: "There are more than a hundred people in the village, and this fish is not enough to eat. In the afternoon, I will go hunting."
"You have just arrived, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. How about you rest for a while?" Mengsa felt very embarrassed.
Sun Ran shook his head: "I've already eaten my meal. Everyone is hungry, so of course I have to be in a hurry."
Mengsa was startled, then smiled, and the smile turned into laughter, which was filled with tears, and finally turned into crying.
A grown man squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
After a long time, he wiped his tears and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!" (To be continued...)
