After calming down a bit, Chir wiped the corners of his eyes and took out two swords, one long and one short, from the cabinet behind him. The long one was only about seventy centimeters, and the short one was actually more sword-like in shape.
It should be called a dagger.
Chir picked up the long sword, put the dagger back, took out a small pottery bowl from the cabinet, then walked back and placed the long sword and pottery bowl in front of Ren.
"This was during the famine period. I made it myself. I used the long sword for myself and kept the short sword for my family to defend themselves. At that time, I thought about going out to find food by myself, but what happened next happened, and the two swords have been there forever.
It's no use. As for this pottery bowl, it was used by Alu for dinner at our house. Adventurer, if you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you both swords. Because I see that you are adventurous outside.
There is no usable weapon. Although I made these two swords casually, and I am just a farm tool maker, they are at least better than nothing. Now I can give you the long sword first. If you send it away for me
Come to Alu, and I will give you the dagger again."
Ren looked at the long sword on the table. It was indeed something he needed very much now, but he was a little reluctant to kill the dog named Alu.
"Do you know where Alu is now? I want to see its condition first."
Chir nodded slightly and said in a sad tone: "Actually, it lives near the village. After the famine, the village changed the channel of a water channel in the east, and Alu lives in a hole in the original water channel."
"Have you looked for it?"
"I've been there many times, but every time Alu sees me, he runs away immediately. I can't catch up with him now."
Ren thought for a while, stood up, and took away the pottery bowl on the table, but did not touch the long sword.
"Okay then, let me go over and check on Alu first. Is there this pottery bowl that will prevent him from attacking me?"
"Wait a minute!" Chir quickly called to Ren: "Sir Adventurer, please bring this long sword with you. Although Alu can almost understand human speech, after all, it has gone crazy. I'm worried...
...You were injured again, weren’t you?”
Ren glanced at the long sword in Chir's hand: "Aren't you worried that I won't help you even though I have the sword?"
Qi'er smiled helplessly: "I believe you won't."
Ren then turned around and left with the pottery bowl: "Then you should also believe Alu. Don't worry, I will tell him what you mean. If I find that leaving is a better thing for him, I will
Made for you."
Behind him, I could only hear Chir's voice shouting thanks.
.......
Renn found the hole Qier mentioned in the ditch east of Dushan Village. It was only about forty or fifty centimeters high and not very deep.
This is not a comfortable place. You can tell from Qi Er's description that Alu, as a hunting dog, is definitely not that small. It lives in such a small cave, probably because the outside is so small.
It's too dangerous. It's safer only near the village.
When Ren lowered his head and looked into the hole, he saw a pair of eyes facing it, less than half a meter apart.
That is Alu who is curled up in the cave.
The outer skin is abnormally exposed in many places. The hair on it may have been torn off in some battles. Now it is full of wounds, mixed with muddy blood, and many wounds are even oozing pus.
When Ren leaned down, he could smell the stench emanating from the cave. It was a mixture of blood and rot, which made Ren subconsciously want to take two steps back.
But he still held back.
When Alu saw someone at the entrance of the cave, he immediately seemed to get out, but after moving his body twice, he was unable to get up and could only keep exerting his strength.
I'm afraid it was seriously injured and couldn't even climb out of the hole.
Maybe, as Chir said, it would be better to let it go like this.
Looking at Alu who was struggling to stand up, Renn quickly took out Qi Er's small pottery bowl: "Your name is A Lu, right? I am Qi Er's friend, he...he asked
I’ll come see you.”
After Alu saw the small pottery bowl, his body moved even more violently, and his head kept reaching out, trying to bite the pottery bowl in Ren's hand.
Seeing this, Ren quickly put the bowl in front of it.
Alu took the bowl in his mouth, put it in his arms, and kept licking it.
Ren took the opportunity and said from the side: "Alu, you understand, right? I have been chatting with Qier for a long time. In fact, he doesn't hate you at all. Just go back and live with him. His current situation does not count.
Great, you need his recruitment, and he also needs your recruitment."
Ren expressed his thoughts, maybe he can promote a happy ending?
Alu is indeed very understanding of human nature. He understood what Ren meant and even shook his head.
"Why?" Ren persuaded again: "Qier really doesn't hate you, otherwise...otherwise he wouldn't let me come to you, right? And he also brought this bowl. Oh, by the way, before
You must have met a few times, Qi Er wanted to take you home at that time."
Alu shook his head again, and he twisted his body as hard as he could, letting Ren see its abdomen.
It was quite dark inside the hole, and Renn couldn't see the details clearly. He could only see a huge black mark, which stretched from Alu's back to his abdomen.
"If you go to the village, you might be able to save it..." Ren's voice gradually became quieter mid-sentence. Considering the relationship between the villagers and Alu, it might be difficult to find someone to save it.
Alu went crazy and bit several people to death. Although the villagers themselves bear a lot of responsibility, most people just thought that this was just a dog. People were about to starve to death, so why should they care about it?
If we take Alu back now, let alone save him, I'm afraid Alu will be killed soon.
Just when Ren was at a loss, Alu turned his head, took out a few round things from the hole, put them in a small pottery bowl, and then pushed the bowl in front of Ren with his mouth.
Ren took a look and saw several green fruits inside, three in total.
"You want me to take these to Chil?"
Alu nodded, then turned around and took out a piece of stone from the hole, placing it in front of Ren.
Ren looked at the piece of stone and vaguely understood something in his heart. He pretended to be indifferent and said with a smile: "Why did you give this to me? I don't know what it means. You asked me to give it to Qier for peeling fruit."
? Hahaha.”
Archie seemed very calm after hearing this. He slowly laid his head next to the stone piece, then raised his head and looked at Ren, his eyes seemed to be full of pleading.
