Reina let the shapeshifting monster go. At least it didn't lie to her. As for Feng Ma, it also told her everything. His mother had indeed disappeared more than a year ago. This was the same as what Feng Ma said. The only difference was that the villagers said that his mother had enough of the poverty here and eloped with a traveling merchant.
This explanation was much more reasonable than what Feng Ma said about the minotaur. It was also easier to accept.
After the rain, the forest was wet everywhere. Some poisonous mushrooms emerged from the decaying leaves on the ground, and there were all kinds of strange insect sounds.
She made a fire in the forest. The cabbage leaf-like backpack on her back could be turned into a one-meter tall tent. There wasn't much in it, only a few of her poor and shabby clothes.
She didn't have a full meal today. She only ate two potatoes that she exchanged from the last village. She originally planned to eat only one, but one was too little. She couldn't help but eat the second one.
Even if she ate all of them, it still wasn't enough.
"Ah ~ I'm still hungry."
Reina stretched and lay down in the tent. Although her body didn't rely on food very much, and even if she didn't eat or drink for a week, there weren't any serious symptoms, but it didn't feel good to have an empty stomach.
She thought that when she came to human territory, she wouldn't be like when she was in the wilderness. But now, it seemed that it was better to be in the wilderness. At least there were enough animals to hunt in the wilderness, and there were also wild fruits. In the human territory, resources were very scarce. There weren't many rats in the mountains.
After returning to human society, she had to follow the rules of human society. The most important thing was money. Everything needed money, not just food. Reina happened to be penniless.
She yawned and thought about what had happened today. Poor boy, and stingy villagers. She decided not to meddle in other people's business.
While thinking, she gradually fell asleep. Soon, snoring sounds came from the tent.
The next morning, she woke up very early. The trident on the ground emitted a clear stream of water. After washing up, Reina noticed something strange.
She pointed at a tree in the distance. About forty to fifty meters away, Reina slowly walked over.
There were a few strange marks on the tree trunk, as if it had been scraped by something. The soil on the ground had also been turned up, and the soil was very fresh. Something must have been here last night.
"Looks like I slept pretty soundly last night."
Reina laughed at herself. The biggest taboo when sleeping in the wild was to sleep too deeply, because the night was full of danger. At any time, one could be targeted by a wild beast in the grass. For her to be able to survive until today, she must be able to sense the danger around her.
But after coming to human territory, the number of wild beasts decreased, and she let down her guard.
If there really was a wild beast, then it was not very brave.
Forty to fifty meters. That was the range of perception that Reina could maintain while sleeping. If the other party came any closer, she would immediately wake up.
"Is it warning me?"
Reina, who was about to leave, found it interesting. She thought that perhaps Feng Ma was not lying. Perhaps there really were monsters in the mountains. She looked at the ground around her, trying to find traces similar to footprints, but there were no such traces at all on the ground covered with weeds and fallen leaves.
Also, it rained last night, which washed away the scent in the surroundings. No, Reina's nose could not track prey like a wild beast's.
So, she returned to the village. Perhaps the villagers knew that there were wild beasts around, so they gathered the children together. If she let them know that she could deal with wild beasts, perhaps the villagers would give her some money or food.
"Wild beasts? What wild beasts? We don't have those things here. It's very peaceful here. "
An auntie with a loud voice said with rolling eyes.
Reina shrugged.
"No, no, no wild beasts. They were all killed long ago."
"We haven't seen wild boars here for decades. There's nothing on the mountain."
"Hehe, maybe there is, but they are not a threat to us. Are you afraid of wild beasts, beautiful? If you are, come to my house. "
Reina remembered that he was one of the sons of the village chief, Uncle Huo, a young … young man.
Other than being young, Reina really couldn't think of any good words to describe him. He was a guy who looked like a local ruffian. His face and front teeth were especially long, and his left and right eyes were asymmetrical. However, both eyes were staring straight at her, which made her a little displeased.
"No."
Reina turned to leave.
"Hey! Hey, hey, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Did anyone say that you are beautiful? "
He quickly walked up to Reina, retreating as he spoke.
"Yes."
"But no one said that you are as beautiful as a snowflake."
After the man said this, he revealed a rather confident expression and looked at Linnai with a magnanimous gaze.
Reina didn't know what to say for a moment. She had nothing to say.
"My father is the village chief, you know that. Also, we don't actually need to farm. Most of the land belongs to our family. Also, my uncle is a businessman. Most of the things here are sold by him. Speaking of which, where are you from? "
He chattered on, completely unaware that she didn't care about these things at all.
"North."
Reina said lightly.
"Kalis? Blue Island? Or Luyas? I guess you are from Luyas. By the way, my name is Huo Man. What's your name? "
"Shitou."
"What?"
Just as he finished speaking, Huo Man's heel tripped over a rock and he fell to the ground. He immediately stood up and patted the mud off his clothes awkwardly. He turned his head and was pleasantly surprised to find that the white-haired beauty was standing there waiting for him. His heart was beating as fast as a horse galloping on the grassland. He could run out at any time.
However, in the next second, his heart sank to the bottom of the ocean, which was ten thousand meters deep.
A bare-chested man holding a sledgehammer walked up from the bottom of the hill. He was tall and muscular. Under his wheat-colored skin, there was a row of white teeth. It was his eldest brother, Huo Yi. He was better than him in every aspect.
"Brother, Dad asked you to go to the field. Why are you here?"
He said to Huo Man. Huo Man lowered his head.
"Why do you want me to go? You know I can't do anything."
"Go! You will suffer when Dad loses his temper later. "
Huo Yi said loudly. Huo Man was so scared that his whole body trembled. Then, he muttered something, tilted his head and ran away.
Reina sighed softly in her heart. At least there was an annoying guy.
She looked up and found that he was looking at her. His eyes were not friendly.
He looked at her for a while and then continued on his way. As he passed by, he suddenly said something.
"You are not needed here."
Reina turned around, but he left without looking back.
