After taking a short rest, Lane came to the home of the farmer named Chir.
Several other villagers helped him keep the wild boar temporarily. They promised to help him make the wild boar into portable dried meat. When Renn left, he could take it with him. In return, Renn had to give away a small portion.
give them.
When Ren was more concerned, when Qier appeared, the other villagers seemed a little unnatural. Many people who were gathered around to watch the fun dispersed after he arrived. It seemed that there was something wrong with Qier.
story.
After the two of them arrived at Chil's house and sat down, Ren withdrew his gaze and said to Chil: "What do you need me to do for you? To be honest, my situation is not very good now. When I just killed the wild boar,
I'm a little injured. If there are any more monsters to fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to help for a while."
Qi'er said excitedly: "No problem, Mr. Adventurer, as long as you agree to help me, you can stay with me to recuperate until you feel recovered. I will provide you with any medicine or food you want for your injuries."
I tried my best to find it for you."
Ren was a little curious. Judging from the decoration of this family's home, Qi'er's condition was not very good. In such a difficult environment, life for a person with a broken leg can be imagined to be not easy.
"Can I ask, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"
"It's a mad dog, I hope you can help me kill it!"
"Crazy...mad dog?"
"Yes, that's right." Chir's eyes were red. "I used to be a blacksmith. I have my own wife and children. I also have a dog at home. His name is Alu. Alu is an exotic dog. He had an adventure a few years ago.
The adventurer brought it to the village. As a result, he was seriously injured in a battle and could not recover in a short time. The adventurer probably didn’t want to carry a burden with him, so he dropped Alu and ran away. I think it is pitiful.
, and at that time, the family was relatively wealthy and could barely afford to keep a dog, so they kept it. After a long period of feeding, Alu’s injuries have basically recovered. Although it is not as good as before, it is still a dog.
A very powerful dog.”
"Everything was fine at first. Alu listened to me very much. He would even go out and pick up some small animals by himself. Apart from what he ate, there would still be a lot left for us. My family's life was much better.
At that time, the neighbors were all envious of us and said we had picked up a treasure. Unexpectedly..."
Ren frowned. Looking at Qier's current state, he knew that what followed would not be so good.
"What didn't you expect?"
"Two years ago, we had a famine and no one had anything to eat. Only our family could survive by relying on the food brought back by Alu from hunting. Others tried to go out to look for food, but what they came back with were cold corpses.
It’s still too dangerous for us farmers out there.”
No one else could fill their stomachs, but the Chil family relied on Alu to have food every day. Renn seemed to have thought of what would happen next.
Sure enough, Chil's subsequent words confirmed his thoughts.
"At first, some villagers came to my house, hoping that we could give them some food, but Alu was just an injured dog. How much food could he bring back every day? And during the famine, the animals outside also became abnormal.
Fierce, Alu often comes back with injuries. There is only so little food left for our family, not much left. Sometimes I am hungry, just to let my wife and
The child and Alu can have enough to eat. Because I know that only if Alu is fine, we will have hope to survive."
"We gave those people some food, but soon, more people asked us for it. How could we give them anything? So those people paid attention to Alou. One morning, I heard outside the door
There was a wailing sound, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Alu covered in injuries. At first, I thought that Alu was injured while hunting, so I quickly took him back to the house, but I found that the injuries on his body were obviously
He was beaten! He even had stab wounds!"
Chir said this with anger and pain on his face.
"Alu was injured, and our family's food source was gone. I made some bandages for Alu, and the family lived on a little bit of food, without having enough food to eat. At this time, someone came to my house,
Asking whether Alu is about to die, why not...these bastards are obviously the Alu they injured! I directly scolded them in person and drove those people away. But no matter what, the food
The problem still weighs on our whole family.”
"Then one day, Alu dragged his injured body out to hunt again. When I saw blood oozing out of his wound again, I really burst into tears."
Renn seemed to have a worse premonition: "What about Alu?"
"It's crazy." Chier said the following words without knowing what kind of mood he was in: "The people in the village found that Alu was bringing us food again, and they attacked it again. After all, Alu is an alien.
The dog is not an ordinary dog. In addition, it has been hungry for many days. Under the beating of everyone, Alu went crazy. It killed several people and no one was its opponent. The village chief ran to my house crying.
, let’s go stabilize Alu, and say we’ll be finished if we don’t go to the village.”
"My wife, children, and Alu were also rushing over. After hearing that Alu had happened, they also wanted to follow him. I couldn't help but, and the village chief kept urging us, and he almost knelt down for us. I
I agreed. However, after we rushed over, we were unable to stabilize Alu, and it... launched an attack on me and my family. My family members were all bitten to death.
After I kicked my leg, Alu finally came to his senses, and then he ran away..."
Renn took a deep breath to calm down a little: "What happened next?"
"The famine is still going on, but I can find some food at my door every day, and every time it is for three people, divided into two portions for adults and one for children. The portion is just right. I know it was Alu who brought it back.
, but it never appeared in front of me again."
Renn sighed, and then said to Chil: "Although saying this is a bit sarcastic, I think, Mr. Chil, Alu should not be blamed for this matter. You asked me to kill it...
..”
Chir lowered his head: "I don't hate Alu, I don't want him to suffer anymore. Alu still often brings me food, but he is just a seriously injured dog. After several beatings, he is now
I can also imagine how difficult it must be to hunt. Besides, Alu is so understanding of human nature, and he has a very good relationship with my family. The fact that he still refuses to be in front of me shows that he is also very painful after the death of my wife and son.
, continuing like this will only make it uncomfortable, so I want to ask you to help Alu get rid of it."
Ren closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead. After hearing this, he felt very upset, and he didn't know whether he should help Chier.
