Seeing that his hope of exploring the mysterious life was shattered, he took Chloe to the Luosang family to say goodbye to Luo's father and Luosang for the final time.
But what shocked them was that Luosang was missing and Luo's father was killed by something.
Chloe's eyes looked at the patriarch strangely, "I think he was attacked and torn to pieces by a large beast, or someone wants us to think that is the case."
She was very dissatisfied with the clan leader who came with a supervisory role, and she also had doubts about the legend of humans and beasts that Fan Li once said, "Do you think this is revenge for the death of the young man?"
The patriarch shook his head, "I don't know."
Chloe raised her eyebrows, seemingly unintentionally, "At the funeral before, Wuya looked very sad."
The patriarch said calmly, "She disappeared. No one has seen her since the funeral. I have sent people to find her."
Chloe was surprised, "What about Lausanne?"
The clan leader shook his head, "We can't find him either, he might be dead too."
Chloe didn't expect that the clan leader had no intention of protecting his clan members, "Okay, I'll go see what Fan Li finds out."
After Fan Li discovered that Luo's father had been torn into pieces, he immediately followed the footsteps deep into the jungle.
In the corner of a bush somewhere, Fan Li found a piece of skin with animal hair.
And on the dead leaf grassland not far away, he also found a piece of peeling tissue, which was exactly the same as the peeling tissue found near the scene when Luo's father killed the boy.
Fan immediately realized that the human-animal creature still existed here.
He immediately found the clan leader and said, "Patriarch, I want to have a good talk with you."
Fan Li told the clan leader what he had discovered, "Clan Leader, do you have any ideas?"
The patriarch looked complicated.
"Fan Li!" Chloe was walking over from a distance with a man wrapped in a blanket.
The man Chloe brought over was none other than Lausanne, one of the missing people. "When I found him, he was passed out in the dead leaves. He seemed to have been frozen for a long time."
Fan Li motioned to Chloe to take Luosang back to Luosang's home first.
Then, he stared at the patriarch, "Clan leader? What are you hiding?"
Patriarch Youyou said, "I thought it was all over."
Fan Li frowned. "Is this why you don't agree to look for clues from the boy? Do you think all this will end with the boy's cremation? What are you afraid of us finding?"
The clan leader thought for a while, "I can't say, but the clan elder can."
He asked someone to call the clan elder...
And in a small wooden house in the mountains not far from here, Luosang was lying on the wooden bed looking very weak, "I was ashamed to say it... After the funeral, I was groggy all the way home? Then... I
I don’t remember what happened after that.”
Chloe nodded encouragingly.
Luosang said shyly, "Sometimes, when I am unhappy, I will hide in our pen and watch them quietly."
He didn't dare to meet Chloe's eyes? "Really, I don't even know? How did I fall there unconscious? I must have regarded the beast as a friend."
Chloe's eyes were calm? "Do you remember talking to your father after you got home?"
Luosang shook his head. "No? I went to the funeral? He was crazy."
He frowned and thought for a while, "I only remember seeing him sitting by the threshold, but I don't remember talking to him. What happened?"
Chloe said solemnly, "I'm sorry, your father is dead."
When Luosang heard this, tears welled up in his eyes.
Chloe said matter-of-factly, "He looked like he was attacked by some kind of ferocious beast, but...
"I don't think it's that simple."
Luosang closed his eyes, "Is it my fault? I went to the funeral, which made them angry, so they killed my father?"
Chloe shook her head, "I don't know."
Luosang's mood was very calm, "I can accept death. In the past, our neighbors all died at the hands of scary people, especially here, which is close to the area where mysterious groups and beasts roam, but..."
His face finally showed a look of pain, "If it's because of me, if it's caused by me, I can't, I...I..."
Luosang seemed to be holding back and not breaking down emotionally in front of Chloe...
At the same time, on Tesla's side, Tesla and Mai Ziwen caught up with Hannah.
Tesla looked at Hannah from a distance, like a headless fly wandering around in a jungle somewhere, and couldn't help but ask Mai Ziwen: "Are you sure we didn't guess wrong?"
Mai Ziwen didn't answer but asked: "Do you have any other explanation?"
Tesla had a headache, "Then how do we tell her so that she can believe it?"
Mai Ziwen shook his head, "I don't know."
Tesla sighed, "Okay, now is a good opportunity."
Hannah saw the two of them and came up to them, "She can't run far."
Tesla bit the bullet and said, "She is trying to survive."
Hannah was sure of the truth, "Steal my child to eat?"
Tesla filed a lawsuit, "The child is not yours."
Hannah got angry, "His parents are dead, I can't let it go."
Mai Ziwen shook his head seriously, "No, Hannah, I'm afraid that's not true."
Hannah stared at Mai Ziwen displeased, "What is the truth?"
Mai Ziwen said seriously, "You also saw how the female ape-man held the child just now. The child was not afraid of her."
Tesla nodded, "I'm afraid the child is hers, and the one I killed was his father."
Hannah suddenly became excited and repelled, "No way."
Tesla followed suit and said, "As you can see, they are not trying to eat the child, but are taking care of him."
Hannah was at a loss for words, "But... he is a human child, you said so yourself."
Mai Ziwen helped, "He is not exactly a human child, but he is the next stage of ape-man evolution and is completely different from ape-man."
Hannah didn't accept this explanation at all, "No, I don't believe it at all."
She immediately turned around and left angrily.
Tesla rushed over and grabbed her, "Wait a minute... This is why the ape-man put him in the jungle to die, because he is too special."
Mai Ziwen also followed, "And his parents would never let him wait for death. They had been looking for him, and then they found us."
He sighed, "Hannah, they are really protecting him. His mother just wants to protect him."
This is just like early humans, when the more scientific heliocentric theory was proposed, people would think it was evil and still adhere to the old view of geocentrism, and even want to kill scientists. The apes will not accept the appearance of people in the group.
An alien one.
If the child's parents want to protect this ape-man alien, it is inevitable in the history of human evolution that they must hide him, and even the whole family must stay away from the ape-man tribe.
This is the secret of genes. It does not mean that a child must be exactly the same as his or her parents. It can also be caused by genetic mutations and other comprehensive factors.
In fact, in her heart, Hannah has realized this, but she can't let go of her feelings for that beautiful child because she once felt the same loneliness.
A trace of panic flashed in Hannah's eyes.
Then in silence, he turned around and ran away.
She seemed unable to let go of that feeling and was still making the final struggle.
