At this time, the sky was already gray and bright. Although the statue of Houtu Empress had not completely extinguished the light, the black fog surrounding the village had disappeared a lot, and the sight that was originally blocked had also expanded a lot, even if it was still not completely It was as clear as daylight, but the scene dozens of meters away could be seen vaguely.
Da Mao rubbed his eyes that were dry and achy due to overuse. He had been by Yunshan's side, hoping to wait until the majestic figure returned. However, it was almost dawn, but he still didn't see it. The figure of that man.
He glanced at Yun Shan beside him. From the beginning to the end, the woman's eyes, expressions, and movements had not changed at all. It seemed that her will to believe that Qin Hao had returned had never changed, which made him afraid for a moment. Ask that sentence.
"Big Mao, do you think Mr. Qin Hao will really come back?" Everyone in the village now knows that Big Mao is a psychic tiger, so when Da Mao didn't dare to ask Yunshan, he could only ask him. However, Big Cat and Big Mao, the two names are too similar when spoken from his mouth, and he is reluctant to call him. If Big Cat with other names didn't want to pay attention to him, he would never call him like that.
In order to thank the big cat who risked his life to bring Ermao back, the villagers had already bandaged its wounds, and then it ran to the entrance of the village and lay down, not sure why, maybe it was hoping for dawn. I hope I can return to my collapsed home as soon as possible.
The big cat is not afraid of this little kid like Da Mao. It seems to have figured out some things about humans now. It lazily raised its eyes, yawned, and then slowly shook its head. The tiger face is as delicate as a human being.
Although that man was really cruel in its heart and even brought it inner scars and psychological shadows that could not be erased in a short period of time, but surrounded by so many Nether Mantises, it still didn't think Qin Hao could come back. .
As an old neighbor of the Nether Mantis, it was ignorant when it was born, and then gradually opened up its wisdom. It has seen the terror of the other party too many times, whether it is a human being or some birds and beasts, as long as it falls into those monsters In the hands of the insects, all of them were sucked into human flesh, and the souls in their bodies were torn apart and chewed to pieces.
If it hadn't been convinced that the two sides would be neighbors and would not interfere with each other's wells and rivers, with its timid character, it would have left its hometown long ago, even if there was a crystal stone there that it used as food and opened up its spiritual wisdom.
Seeing Da Mao shaking his head very humanely, Da Mao couldn't help but feel a little sad and guilty. After all, the man died to save his sister. Moreover, at his age, although he still doesn't understand what love is, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know that the miko sister in front of him likes that man. If that man really can't come back, how sad the miko sister will be. .
The little kid was thinking wildly. It had already dawned quietly. The light of the statue of Queen Houtu was gradually extinguished. The patriarch sitting on the big stone at the entrance of the village stood up. He straightened up and sighed: "Hey, I don't agree with you. No, this old bone can hardly hold on anymore, and I can’t straighten my waist even after sitting all night.”
With that said, he limped to Yunshan: "Hongshao, don't worry, it's almost dawn. I'll gather the villagers to help search. However, I hope that no matter what the result is, you will be happy." Accept it and don’t hurt yourself.”
Yunshan finally made some movement. She had been like a sculpture for several hours and slowly turned her head. Her expression was very firm, and her eyes were even more determined. She said word by word: "He will definitely come back!"
Her tone was so firm, her eyes were so fixed that the clan elder didn't dare to look at her. She was dodging a little, and her stubborn look made him feel a little pitiful. He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute.
Such a good girl, ah, trapped in love.
The clan elder couldn't help but remember when he was young and his wife who had passed away many years ago. He must have been like this at the beginning.
However, he was still going to gather the villagers. What Yunshan did, he just thought that he was stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out, and didn't take it seriously. Qin Hao was in danger for the sake of his tribe. Regardless of life or death, they had the obligation to find him. corpse.
However, just as the clan elder limped towards the village, suddenly, the big cat lying lazily on the ground suddenly raised its head, and a tiger face showed an expression of disbelief, and then the whole tiger stood up When he stood up, his back was arched, like a cat's fur.
Its appearance naturally shocked everyone present, except Yunshan. After all, a tiger showing that expression like a human would feel weird no matter how you look at it.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the statue at the head of the village. It is not strong, but it is somehow dazzling, making people involuntarily reach out to cover their eyes.
However, in this hazy and blurry space, people seemed to see a figure appearing in the distance, as if walking slowly on a golden avenue paved with warm sunshine.
What's going on here? Are you hallucinating because you are too tired after not sleeping all night
This was the thought of everyone present. Only Yunshan did not cover her eyes and looked forward to the sun. A smile finally appeared on her face that had been almost expressionless all night. The big cat stood beside her, staring closely. ahead.
One person and one tiger, bathed in the sunshine, are so harmonious.
Finally, everyone's eyes seemed to have gradually adapted to the dazzling sunlight, or perhaps the sunlight had become softer. They removed their hands that were covering their eyes, but they all froze in place as if they had seen a ghost, staring blankly. Ahead.
Ahead, a tall figure walked towards the village step by step, neither fast nor slow, unusually steady.
Isn't it an illusion? Is he really back
This was the only thought in people's minds at the moment, and the clan leader almost couldn't close his jaw.
This is probably the first time. He has lived for so many years, and even the village has existed for so many years. Whether it is the sayings left by his predecessors or now, he has never seen anyone come back from the Jedi alive at night. Could it be that this Do the outsiders who suddenly break into the village really have clues to the curse
The little kid Da Mao was also dumbfounded. Somehow, seeing Qin Hao walking slowly, his blood boiled all over and he felt a strong impulse in his body. He felt that he seemed to have found the goal of his future life. I must become a person like the man in front of me in the future. Only such a person can be worthy of my miko sister!
Walking in front of Yun Shan, Qin Hao stood still and said with a familiar and gentle smile: "I'm back."
There was no strong hug, no unwelcome cry, and even no extreme expression on the expression, just a simple smile, but that smile seemed to embrace the whole world and had the power to ignore everything.
"Welcome back." Yunshan responded with the same smile. (To be continued)
