Chapter 5
This will affect the fortune-teller's judgment, but she glanced at Christian and nodded, "Okay, but you must be absolutely quiet. Is that okay?"
"I certainly will."
"By the way," Lingda brushed back his loose hair, and said softly, "I still need a colorless grass. This is to pray for fortune-telling, which can ensure better results of fortune-telling."
The boy let out an ah, and asked hastily, "Where can I find this grass?"
Before the girl could say anything, Christian stepped forward, "I know where it is. You wait here, don't run around. Mimi stays here."
The young man said obediently: "Okay." He had an unconditional trust in the man.
The afternoon came soon, and the earthworm kept the promise and sent back the other two pearls. Christian also came back with the colorless grass. Lingda wept with joy, holding seven pearls and a grass with trembling hands, as if it was Peerless treasure.
After crying for a while, Lingda wiped away her tears, and started divination without further ado. The divination took a long time, but Max stood upright all the time, staring at the whole process of the ceremony.
When the result of the divination came out, Linda and Max let out a big sigh of relief at the same time. Lingda looked at the result of the divination with a joyful look on her face. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, "The result shows that your rose was covered by a The man took it away, she has never been to this birch forest, that man may be a guard, he took a path, your rose should be in the southeast, the country of sunrise."
"No more?" The young man was both happy and disappointed. He still wanted to know more, such as whether Rose had been wronged, whether she had made some good friends, and when she was in the forest, she was so capricious and innocent. After so many days of separation, did she feel haggard and miss her hometown?
"No more, okay," Lingda put away the pearl, the colorless grass had withered, "It's time for me to go on the road, let's leave now. See you again, my friend."
Christian, the presbyopic cat and the little mouse also walked over, and Lingda left with a cool back.
Christian wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulders and looked down into his eyes, "What, is there a whereabouts of Miss Rose? Don't be unhappy, I will meet you by chance."
The boy nodded, "We need to head southeast, the Land of the Rising Sun, do you know where it is?" Max raised his head, staring at Christian with big, black eyes full of longing.
Christian suddenly felt a little thirsty, his throat moved slightly, and his tone was heavy, "There are many countries in the Land of the Rising Sun, and my hometown is also there."
"Really? Is it beautiful there?" Rose should like it very much, she likes all beautiful things.
Christian rubbed the boy's soft hair, lowered his head to his ear, and breathed scorchingly, "It's beautiful, my love, you'll love it there."
The young man turned his head, gave the man a strange look, and then took the lead to walk southeast. From here, he had to bypass a small river, and they had to speed up.Christian looked at the young man's thin and delicate back, lowered his head and laughed, the little mouse stared at him vigilantly, then stretched out its tail to hook his leg, as if threatening him.
The boy walked for a while and found that the man was still there, and his delicate brows were frowned.
"hurry up."
Christian responded, and quickly chased after him with long arms and long legs, and the new journey began again.
The group of them walked to the southeast, and soon saw a house, a small wooden hut, which was very short but looked very comfortable.
Christian's idea was to stay here for one night, but Max always felt that this place was a bit weird, because there was not even a small thing here.Although this is the edge of the forest, how could there not be even a single ant.
So for Christian's proposal, Max shook his head, and he didn't have any good explanation.
Fortunately, Christian didn't force it, and they continued to move forward. It was already dark, and the temperature in the forest varied greatly. Max had already sneezed several times in a row, and his body was shaking. Christian hugged him. In my arms, but the cold is still the same.
The man's brows frowned, this is not going to work, Max's body can't bear it.
At this time, the old cat meowed a few times, and Max said tremblingly, "Follow him."
The presbyopic cat jumped quickly, and Christian also started running with the boy in his arms. After a long time, they finally saw the candlelight in the distance. This was also a hunter's house, and there were people inside.Christian knocked on the door without hesitation.
A bearded man opened the door and looked at them warily.Christian said sincerely: "I'm sorry to bother you, it's very cold, can I stay at your place for a night?"
The bearded man pressed against the door, "Where are you from?"
"We lost our way in the forest. Look." He pointed to the boy in his arms. "My younger brother is slightly injured. Can you let us stay for one night, just one night. We will leave at dawn."
The bearded man reluctantly agreed and let them into the house.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, and it can be seen that the bearded man lives here alone.
The bearded man brought out a plate of porridge with no visible ingredients, and asked them to drink some. Christian chatted with him about some things in the forest and tried to dispel his defensiveness. This Orion was okay, although he was a little indifferent.
Christian settled the boy, thanked Orion, and went to rest.
The boy woke up in the middle of the night. He felt that someone was watching him in the dark. At this moment, the little mouse howled. Christian suddenly opened his eyes. He subconsciously held Max in his arms and looked out the window. An owl was flying around the window, howling miserably.
Max's face changed, "Go, go. There is danger here."
Christian didn't ask any more questions, but immediately wrapped the boy in his arms with a quilt, and rushed out. As soon as they rushed out of the window, the house caught fire. The fire was not as strong as a normal fire. Instead, it burned up so quickly that even the wind couldn't stop it.
Christian's expression sank, "This Orion is too weird." Why set fire to kill people without any injustice?
The boy said: "It's not him."
The owl that reported the message just now has disappeared, and what is even more worrying is that the presbyopic cat disappeared with it... But the boy looked calm, Christian waited until the fire was extinguished, and turned around in the ruins After a circle, there was only ashes left here, and now there were only ashes left in the place where he was sleeping soundly and sheltered from the wind and rain just now. Christian didn't know what expression to use to face it.
"Let's go." He wrapped the boy up a little tighter. Fortunately, he didn't forget to bring out the quilt when he rushed out. Seeing the boy's comfortable facial features, Christian felt less depressed.He put the boy on his back and started walking in the dark.
"Aren't you worried about Mimi?"
"He will come back. He never left me. Grandma said he is very smart. Don't worry."
"What else did your grandma say?" The boy's voice was inexplicably soft.
"Grandma said that everything in the forest is a gift from God and we should be grateful."
"What was that owl calling just now?"
The boy smiled shyly, but unfortunately the man couldn't see it.
"He just alerted me that there was a fire here."
"Oh."
"Let's not drive here standing still, something will happen, my intuition."
"it is good."
Sure enough, the boy's intuition was right. The fire in the distance was very bright. When he walked in, he saw another wooden house where a hunter lived. Now even the boy was not calm anymore. He jumped off Christian's back and confronted the man. Looking at each other, they both saw surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.
The story is back to the original point.
Christian didn't knock on the door directly this time, but hid in the window and observed.
What is unbelievable is that the man in the room is the bearded man just now, and even the furnishings in the room are exactly the same...
The door opened with a creak, and the bearded Orion came out. Seeing the two of them, he was stunned for a moment, and then said enthusiastically: "You are lost. This happens often in the forest. Come on, it's so cold, come in and have a drink. Soup."
The man stood up straight and looked at him. The expression of the bearded man could not see a trace of camouflage, it was very natural.
The young man was also very puzzled. He intuitively thought that this hunter was normal and invited them sincerely, but what happened before?
"What's the matter?" The bearded man looked at them in confusion, "Don't be restrained, come on, guests from afar, you are very welcome here. Of course there is also this cute little mouse." He pointed to the little mouse on the ground, His eyes lit up, and he showed a bold smile.
"Thank you for your kindness." Christian didn't refuse, and took the lead to enter the wooden house. He had to figure out this matter, otherwise it would be a hidden danger.
The boy also smiled shyly at the bearded man, while the little mouse unceremoniously jumped on Orion's head and stood swaggeringly.
"Dada, come down." The boy said, his tone was very soft, but the little mouse seemed to know that he was angry, and immediately jumped down, fawning over the boy, his tail drooping, looking very aggrieved.
Orion laughed again, "Children, you are a cute mouse. By the way, I'll bring you some porridge."
After speaking, he walked into the kitchen, and Christian took this opportunity to observe everything in the house carefully. He even went to the place where he fell asleep just now. Even the quilt on the bed was exactly the same as the one on Max, which can also prove that what happened just now Everything is not a dream of the two.
Orion held the porridge and watched them touch the quilt, and said carelessly: "Although this quilt is a bit worn out,
