Those years when I led the Fox Clan

Chapter 2 Elvi's Fear
Under the golden sunset, a black horse galloped wildly on the sparse plain, and two white figures were riding on it, casting long shadows under the slanting sunset.

Ai Erwei sat behind Du Ge, with his arms around his waist, her small face pressed tightly against his back.Undoubtedly, she chose the second option among the choices given by Duge.

Du Ge spurred Liangju to sit down, while at the same time squinting his eyes to be alert to the surrounding situation.

Human cavalry must be searching nearby, and not necessarily only humans.The traitors will definitely get involved too, pretending to be one of their own and waiting for them to throw themselves into the trap.Therefore, before escaping from this area, Du Ge will not trust anyone.

When the sun was setting and half of them sank below the horizon, the two stopped in a forest.

At this moment, Ai Erwei was in a trance, deposited in the grief of the death of the guard, relatives and friends.After Du Ge found a suitable place for camping, she squatted on a protruding tree root, curled up in a ball with her tail in her arms in a daze.

Duge shook his head, showing some pity for the poor princess.

She was spoiled by the tribe since she was a child, this is the first time she has experienced such a change.The interception and killing of human beings, the whereabouts of relatives and friends are unknown, and the guards are all wiped out. Now they continue to be hunted down by human beings, and the future is uncertain.Under the impact of cruel reality, it is already very good not to have a direct mental breakdown.For this point, Du Ge still has some appreciation.

She is stronger than expected.

After calming down the horse, Du Ge picked up some dry firewood around, and lit a bonfire after night fell.Glancing at Alwei who was still in a daze, Duge turned and went into the forest. He was going to prepare today's dinner.

Night engulfs the earth.

Having just passed the moonless night, the two waning moons that once again appeared in front of the world hung low in the sky.One red and one blue; the red one is called Fei, and the blue one is called Jiu.Legend has it that they are the eyes of Diana, the goddess of the moon.And every three months, there are always 3 days when the double moon will disappear in the sky.

Three days are called moonless nights.

It was Diana, the goddess of the moon, who closed her eyes, unable to spy on the mortal world.Therefore, the mortal walker representing Diana, the goddess of the moon, the priest of the moon with two colors and different pupils appeared on this land.

Ai Erwei completed the ceremony in the moonless night a few days ago and became a moon priest.

People are fragile, but also strong.Facing the torment of setbacks and sufferings, you may die in an instant and lose your fighting spirit; or you may be indomitable, no matter what you experience, wipe away your tears and stand up again.

Alway, obviously the latter.

After recovering from the sluggishness, she clasped her hands together and made a prayer gesture, silently praying for the dead in her heart.

"...the dead rest in peace, and the living cherish it."

After the prayer was over, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked around.

The next moment, she found something that frightened her:

Duge disappeared.

Night Breeze roared in a low voice, in this dark grove where you can't see your fingers.Only a small bonfire in front of me exuded a warm orange light, and made the sound of crackling wood from time to time.Other than that, there wasn't even any sound of insects or birds singing.

No one added firewood, and the flames continued to fade.The only bright land is the devourer, which is a little bit darker.

Fear spread wildly in Ai Erwei's heart, and his calm mood fluctuated violently again.

Having just experienced so many deaths, all of them left her.And the only Du Ge who stayed by her side seemed to be the last straw for her.

And the surrounding darkness reminded her of the black torrent that swept over when she was attacked.Night Breeze roared, as if it was mixed with screams and slashing.She even had hallucinations, and those terrifying black knights rushed out of the night wielding bloody long swords.

"Where did he go?...Did he abandon me? It's terrible...It's terrible...Woooo...Don't abandon me..."

The pain and fear of being alone again ravaged her heart, she hugged her tail in her arms and curled up tightly.In fear, he didn't even dare to add firewood to the increasingly dark bonfire.

The darkness spread, and the swaying fire light became smaller and smaller, becoming erratic, as if it would go out at any time.

Duge carried a pile of found ingredients, walked back to the camp and saw the crumbling bonfire.Hastily dropped the things in his hands, ran to the fire to add some firewood, and then said to the huddled Alwei with some dissatisfaction:
"Hey! The fire is almost out and there is no more firewood. It is very troublesome to start a fire!"

After hearing Du Ge's voice, Ai Erwei raised his head slowly, staring at him with red eyes from crying.

Seeing Ai Erwei's blank expression, Duge stretched out his hand in front of her in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you stupid? Hey!...Hello?! Talk!"

After seeing the person coming, Al was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and instead of answering, he threw himself into Du Ge's arms.

The force was so strong that the defenseless Duge was thrown directly to the ground.His butt clucked against a rock, and he grinned in pain.

"Hiss~ what are you doing?! It hurts..."

Du Ge was a little angry and shouted loudly.But halfway through the conversation, his voice gradually decreased.At this moment, Alwei in his arms hugged him tightly, trembling constantly.The strength of the hug was so strong that it was difficult for him to breathe, and at the same time, the warmth soaked his chest.Obviously, it was tears.

With a soft sigh, Duge's anger dissipated immediately.He hugged Ai Erwei with his backhand, stroked her silver hair regularly, and comforted her gently: "It's all over, it's okay, it's okay~ don't cry~..."

After Duge added firewood to the bonfire several times with his tail, Alway finally calmed down.She left Duge's embrace, turned her head to one side, and stammered in a somewhat nasal voice:

"I... I'm just a little uncomfortable! It's... It's not that I'm afraid!"

"Huh? You are afraid. I thought you were too sad."

"Ah... just... no!!!"

Al turned red slightly, clenched his fists and roared.

Du Ge felt happy, unexpectedly this guy was a little arrogant.Without saying a word, he stood up, took the stone pot for soup from the horse, turned and walked into the darkness.

But as soon as he took two steps, he felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled.At the same time, Alway made a frightened high-decibel voice.

"Where are you going?!"

Duge shook his fox ears, and Al's slightly high-decibel voice made him uncomfortable.

"I'm going to fetch some water, why don't you cook some soup? Why are you calling so loudly?"

"I...I'll go too..."

Seeing Aierwei clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, he would not let go.Du Ge sighed helplessly again, without speaking, the snow-white tail wrapped around Ai Erwei's hand, holding her.The latter naturally stretched out his hands and grabbed his tail tightly.

"Hey, don't squeeze so hard!"

The tail is an extension of the spine, and there are dense neurons on it, which is very sensitive.

"Why did you pinch it so hard... Huh? Why is your tail so long?"

At this moment, Ai Erwei discovered a strange thing. Duge's tail was almost twice as long as that of ordinary foxes, almost 2 meters long, and it looked slender.

"do not know."

Du Ge replied simply and neatly, he really didn't know what happened to this body.At that time, the miraculous recovery from such a serious injury surprised him very much.

And the only reasonable explanation he could think of was the thing that had been following him since the last life.

"System! System! Come out, don't pretend to be dead!"

Duge called from the bottom of his heart, but still didn't respond.It's been a month, and he has to call several times in his heart every day, but the on-call system in the previous life has never appeared.

But he believed that that thing would still follow him.
