Wu Sheng and Xiaoyao lived in the mountain. Although it was just a bamboo house, it was very quiet. This place was prepared by Wu Sheng two years ago. At that time, Tanlang wanted him to go to the tribe. He thought that if he really couldn't hide, he could hide here with Xiaoyao.
He thought it was unnecessary, but he didn't expect that he still needed to hide here.
"There is nothing here, and it is very simple. Let's live here first and prepare anything later." Wu Sheng helped Xiaoyao get off the ox cart. "It is quiet here. Don't come out at night."
"Wow, so many bamboos." Xiaoyao looked around in surprise. This was a bamboo forest!
Wu Sheng saw that Xiaoyao liked this place and smiled. "Well, I found it by accident. There are all kinds of bamboos here. But it is getting dark. Don't go into the forest. Go tomorrow."
"Okay." Xiaoyao nodded obediently.
Wen Tian silently led the ox cart into the fence. He didn't say anything, just stood by the door and looked at the brother and sister.
Wu Sheng walked toward him. "Now we will be caught by Tanlang at any time. If you want to go, we won't stop you."
They didn't know Wen Tian. If Xiaoyao hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have taken this boy home yesterday. But he had to admit that this boy was very powerful. Today, he killed two demon beasts.
With his and Xiaoyao's current situation, if Wen Tian was here, they would be safer.
He needed Wen Tian to protect Xiaoyao.
"I don't know where to go." Wen Tian looked at Wu Sheng and said. He didn't remember anything and had nowhere to go.
"Before you remember, you can stay with us," Wu Sheng said. He didn't deny that he was using Wen Tian, but they were also using each other.
Xiaoyao walked to Wen Tian, tilted her head, and looked at him with doubt. "Tian, you are so powerful. You can kill Roe Owl. Can you kill Tanlang?"
Wu Sheng frowned. "Xiaoyao, don't talk nonsense."
"I have never seen Tanlang. If I can kill him, I will." Wen Tian looked down at Xiaoyao and said.
These two people really dared to say that!
Wu Sheng felt helpless. He had protected Xiaoyao too well. Xiaoyao was only 13 years old this year. She was simple and kind and didn't know the dangers outside. Even if the villagers drove them away today, she would definitely find an excuse for them and forgive them.
Sometimes, he really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to protect Xiaoyao so well.
"Alright, let's go in. We still need to clean up," Woo Sheng said softly.
"Brother, you are injured. You should rest quickly. I will clean up," Xiaoyao said.
Wen Tian walked behind Xiaoyao and said, "I will help you."
Although Xiaoyao did not know how to hunt or martial arts, she could do something. In less than two hours, she had cleaned up the bamboo house and made a sumptuous meal with the limited ingredients.
Their rations were all brought from home and could only last for a few days. They had to think of a way to prepare more rations the next day.
Wo Sheng went to sleep after eating. No matter how strong his body was, it couldn't withstand a serious injury.
Xiaoyao and Wen Tian sat in front of the door, looking at the starry sky and talking.
"A Tian, you must have been a very powerful person in the past." Xiaoyao looked at Wen Tian's elegant and handsome side profile. This was the first time she saw someone who was even more powerful than her brother.
"I don't remember," Wen Tian said. He glanced at Xiaoyao and asked, "Why are you so afraid of demon beasts?"
Xiaoyao said in a low voice, "Because they are stronger than us mortals and will kill us. If we don't rely on the protection of the Greedy Wolf Tribe, the demon beasts of other tribes will treat us as food … Now we just offer a lot of rations to the Greedy Wolf Tribe every year, and they will let us go."
In ancient times, demon beasts ran rampant on the human continent. They ruled the mortals and occupied their own territories as tribes. Mortals were the most humble existence on the human continent. They prayed to the gods, but no god came to save them. They didn't know how many years had passed.
No mortal wanted to rely on demon beasts to survive, but they had no choice.
Wen Tian approached Xiaoyao's neck and asked, "What's the smell on you?"
"No." Xiaoyao's cheeks were slightly red. "I never use rouge."
"It's not the smell of rouge." Wen Tian looked at her suspiciously. "It's your blood. Your blood is very fragrant, and the demon beasts will smell it. Be careful in the future."
Xiaoyao touched her neck. She couldn't smell her blood at all, but the roe owl also said so today. She swallowed and said, "In the future, I will run away when I see demon beasts."
She didn't notice why Wen Tian could smell the fragrance in her blood like the roe owl.
Wen Tian chuckled. If she really encountered demon beasts, how could she run away?
"As long as I am here, I won't let the demon beasts hurt you," Wen Tian said.
"Yeah." Xiaoyao smiled sweetly. Thinking of the villagers in the village, she showed a sad expression. "I don't know how Aunty Ji and the others are doing, and there are others …"
Wen Tian said, "Their life and death have nothing to do with you."
"Actually …" Xiaoyao lowered her head. "I also know that what they said was too much, but they were really good to me and my brother before."
"Yeah." Wen Tian nodded.
Xiaoyao smiled and said, "My brother is injured. Tomorrow, you will accompany me to find food. Can you hunt?"
"Yes, you take care of him, and I will go hunting," Wen Tian said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound came from the woods in front of them.
"What is it?" Xiaoyao was startled and hid behind Wen Tian.
"I will go and have a look. Stay in the house and don't come out," Wen Tian said in a low voice and walked into the woods in front of them with a chopping knife.
After a while, Wen Tian came back with a rattlesnake on his arm.
"Tian, that snake is poisonous." Xiaoyao was startled. It was the first time that she had seen such a strong rattlesnake. If she was bitten, she would definitely die.
"It doesn't dare to bite me," Wen Tian said, "Remove the venom and make soup for your brother."
Xiaoyao looked at Wen Tian in shock. "What other skills do you have?"
"I don't know," Wen Tian said. He didn't know what he could do. Killing the black rabbit demon and the roe owl was instinctive, but this snake … As soon as he approached, it didn't dare to move, so he brought it back.
"Then give me the snake first," Xiaoyao said.
Wen Tian glanced at her and said, "I will deal with it. You are tired today. Go and have a rest."
"I … I am not tired. But your clothes are torn. Go and wash them, and I will mend them for you." Xiaoyao pointed at his chest, which was probably left during the fight.
"Oh." Wen Tian went in with the snake.
It was getting late. Xiaoyao mended Wen Tian's clothes until they were as good as new. When she looked back at him, she found that he had fallen asleep.
She yawned, covered him with the clothes, and went back to the next room to sleep.
It was a dreamless night.
