The boy's name is Feng Ma, and he is particularly lively and active today.
"Listen, don't run around. If Uncle Huo is not in the field, call other adults. Do you understand?"
The old woman said to the three boys, Feng Ma was among them.
"I know, we won't run around."
Huo Liuer, the son of the village chief, replied perfunctorily that he was the eldest of the children, which could be seen from his arrogant face.
The old lady originally wanted to get them two wooden umbrellas, but the proud Huo Liuer said "women" before holding the umbrellas, and then strode out of the door with his accomplices, and headed towards the white-haired man.
The woman has an intriguing look.
Feng Ma, on the other hand, held up his umbrella obediently and followed.
He didn't dare to follow along the way. Huo Liu'er would beat him for no reason. As long as he wanted to, he would do it. He pretended to be mature and talked to the white-haired woman, but the latter's words
Not much.
Walking through the village and passing through some dilapidated wooden houses, during the day, only the elderly and children were at home in the village, and the adults were working in the fields. The three of them all thought that the white-haired woman was an adventurer, but Huo Liuer kept
He said that he was going to be an adventurer and bragged about how many animals he had killed. To be honest, Feng Ma was a little worried that the white-haired elder sister would like this kind of person.
But his worries were unfounded, and she didn't need to look at him at all, so Huo Liuer fell silent in the second half of the journey, and his self-esteem was hurt.
Soon, they came to the village chief's field. Huo Liuer's two brothers and parents were working in the field, and they also had a strong bull. They were the richest people in the village.
"Why are you here? Are you in trouble again?"
The village chief, Mr. Huo, shouted, clapped his hands and walked over. When they saw the white-haired woman following behind, Feng Ma saw Huo Liuer's two brothers' eyes widening.
"No, I brought someone here. Adventurers have come to our village."
"I'm not a risk taker."
At this moment, the white-haired woman suddenly spoke, and the three boys were suddenly stunned.
"Then you are here to find someone?"
The village chief thought it was strange that few people came here.
She shook her head and said, "I heard that you issued a commission. Did the village encounter any problems?"
"There is no problem. Maybe you heard it wrong. Hey, what are you still doing here? Go back to class! Huo San! Why are you laughing? Next year I will give you two pieces of land to plow by yourself! Come on, hurry up
go back!"
Old Uncle Huo suddenly shouted. He was very fierce and his voice was loud. The proud Huo Liuer did not dare to refute, but he kicked a stone off the ground to show his dissatisfaction.
"Feng Ma, why are you still standing here? Follow us back."
He found that Feng Ma, who was wearing patched trousers, was still standing there stupidly, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"I, I want to help, I know where they are."
"Why are you helping? You are talking nonsense. Go back! Otherwise, I will tell your father and let him beat your ass to pieces."
This threat was indeed very useful. Feng Ma lowered his head and left angrily.
Uncle Huo glared at the white-haired woman and said, "We have no problem with that. You must have heard some random rumors."
Then he turned around and prepared to go back to work in the fields.
"Then why do you all carry a knife behind your back? And this is the only village that locks children in a room. The strange thing is that those children don't dare to run out privately."
The other party suddenly asked, and Mr. Huo was stunned for a moment. He did not look back, but just said: "This is our rule, it is none of your business, and you are not an adventurer, so why bother meddling in other people's business."
The white-haired woman didn't say anything. She raised her head and saw the two young and strong men looking at her with a smile.
"Well, I hope you won't regret it."
After saying that, she turned and left.
The light rain was hazy, and she didn't go far before her figure became blurred and quickly disappeared into the fields.
The crystal clear water droplets bent the tender green leaves, and a brown frog-like creature lay on the ground, blending in with the soaked fallen leaves around it.
At this moment, a figure walked over.
"Wait! Don't leave yet."
The white-haired woman stopped. She held up the big leaf and saw the child standing in front of her.
His hair was soaked and he looked pitiful.
"What's wrong? I don't have anything to eat."
The other party said something that made Feng Ma feel sad. He shook his head and said: "No, you are an adventurer, right? You are here to investigate the devil!"
"No, I'm not an adventurer."
Hearing this, the boy frowned with a look of disappointment on his face.
"My name is Reina, and I'm a passing witch."
Witch?!
A scary name. It is usually associated with ghosts. Anyway, anything with the word "magic" associated with it is not a good thing. He thought of the beautiful fox that the old woman said, which specializes in seducing young men into the mountains and then eating all the food left.
A ghostly tale of bones.
Feng Ma showed a look of fear and took a few steps back, as if he had seen some savage beast.
"Witch? Is she a demon?"
he asked tremblingly.
However, the other party chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm human."
Reina took a closer look at the boy in front of her. He seemed to be carrying an umbrella before, but now he looked like a drowned rat, and there was mud on his body and hands.
"Come, I'll give you my umbrella, and you can go back by yourself."
She stretched out her hand and handed the other party her green umbrella, which came from the mountains.
The boy didn't know what to say, so he subconsciously took it. He saw a beautiful bracelet on the other person's white wrist. The other person was not dirty at all, very clean, which was in sharp contrast to himself.
He lowered his head with some inferiority, looked at his tattered cloth shoes, and tried his best to hide the holes in them to prevent his toes from being exposed.
Suddenly, he felt something bang on his head. Feng Ma raised his head in surprise and found that the white-haired elder sister was smiling and touching his head.
At that moment, a bright meteor streaked across his dim world, blooming with extremely brilliant starlight. He saw the raindrops around him staying in the sky, and their shapes could be clearly seen. Countless water droplets fell from his body.
Flying out of his body, he saw the process of the clothes drying, and the color suddenly became lighter.
magic.
He opened his eyes wide, and a glimmer of light appeared in his somewhat dim eyes.
Reina smiled faintly, then withdrew her hand, turned and left.
"wait!"
Feng Ma stretched out his hand, fearing that the other party would just walk away like this.
As a little boy, he had a hunch that the witch in front of him could help him, and only she could save him and them.
"Wait a minute, Witch-sama! I know about the commission, that was sent by me!"
