The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 152 Midnight Mutation
I have to say that Yang Yang's choice was correct. It wasn't long before the two of them found a house and lit the fire, and night fell.

"Let's study what happened to us at the gate of the village just now?" Yang Yang leaned against a pillar of a house, looked at the bonfire in front of him, and said to Meng Xiu, "I haven't figured it out until now. Is it a ghost hitting a wall?"

"Ghost hitting the wall?" Meng Xiu, who had never heard the word before, repeated, "What is that?"

"Ghost hitting the wall? Ghost hitting the wall is what happened to us just now!" Yang Yang said, looking at him and saying, "Obviously I saw the gate of the village is in front, but I can't get through it."

Hearing such an explanation, Meng Xiu nodded half-understanding, glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside the house and said, "But that's good, at least you don't have to spend the night in the forest."

"It's not that I didn't spend the night in the forest." Hearing the rejoicing in his tone, Yang Yang was a little dissatisfied, "In fact, I would rather choose to spend the night in the forest than here, at least not so..."

"You are too timid!" Meng Xiu looked at him mockingly after hearing this, "But don't be afraid, with me here, nothing will happen to you."

with you?Can you stop kidding me?What can you, an underage little monster, do! ?Those big monsters or witch descendants are really going to die, and the big mountain god is coming, you can't give them enough teeth, okay? ?
Yang Yang thought so, but when he saw Meng Xiu's sincere eyes, he turned his tongue and said, "That's right, with you here, I feel more at ease."

Meng Xiu was taken aback for a moment, he obviously knew his weight, so he was a little overjoyed to hear Yang Yang say that, so he nodded more firmly and said, "I will definitely protect the safety of you and Master Ba She." .”

"Then I'll be here to thank you first." Hearing his words, Yang Yang replied somewhat dumbfounded, thinking, children are really easy to coax.

"You're welcome." Meng Xiu, who had no idea that he was just a child in Yang Yang's eyes, replied, then thought about it, and asked, "By the way, are you hungry?"

"Huh?" After he said this, Yang Yang remembered that he hadn't eaten all day, but he looked at the sky outside, and remembered the previous experience of ghosts hitting the wall, and immediately shook his head and said: "I'm not hungry. , not hungry."

"Are you really not hungry? I think since there are people living here, there must be something to eat. Would you like me to help you find something to eat?" Meng Xiu looked at Yang Yang's expression and added: "I just go to You'll be back soon, don't be afraid."

"Forget it, I don't... Gudong..." Yang Yang was about to say that he was not hungry when he heard a sound from his stomach.So he could only smile awkwardly at Meng Xiu, and said, "Hehe, it's okay if you don't tell me, but I'm really hungry when I say it."

"Then wait for me." He said, without waiting for Yang Yang's answer, he stood up and went out quickly.

Half an hour later, Yang Yang looked at the slowly dancing flames, and scolded himself ten thousand times in his heart, making you greedy!What's wrong with being hungry for a while?When you lose weight!It must be called at that time, but now it's all right, the only person who can be with me has gone out, and I don't know when I will come back.

It was so dark outside, as soon as he thought about what happened before, he began to panic.Not to mention anything else, that fake Zhou Liang's stiff smile and the ghost hitting the wall just met at the gate of the village were enough to scare him.

"Ah~~la ya~ah~"

At this time, there was a burst of singing outside. Yang Yang, who was thinking about things, was taken aback, but he didn't have the courage to go to the window to take a look. He could only comfort himself and say that it was the sound of the wind. .

Fortunately, the singing didn't last long, and it stopped after a while, so Yang Yang strengthened his thoughts, and said to himself in his heart, people are scary, this place is strange, don't scare yourself.

While comforting, the door suddenly rang.

"Who!?" Yang Yang jumped up startled by the sound, and asked loudly.

"It's me." Meng Xiu's voice came from outside the door. As he spoke, he pushed the door open, "Hey, don't just sit there, come and help me! There are a lot of things, and I can't hold them steady."

Yang Yang raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that Meng Xiu was holding two rabbits in one hand and several jars in the other.He quickly stood up and walked over to pick up the rabbit, and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"

"I just went out to find something to eat, and I saw something moving in the firewood pile not far away. I walked over to have a look and found two wild rabbits from nowhere, so I caught them. , but when I came back, I passed by the family's kitchen, so I took some seasonings over."

As he said that, he raised a few pots in his hand and showed off: "Let me tell you, the people here still have very good seasonings, not only salt, but also pepper and chili."

Seeing his happy face, Yang Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Boy, you haven't forgotten why we are here now, have you?Not to mention that this is the inner mountain of Shiwan Dashan, the place where they are staying now is likely to be the stockade of the Wu clan, just before the sun went down, they were trapped in the stockade and couldn't get out of the wall. If the local things can’t move, it’s better not to move!

This kid is good, not only caught two rabbits, but also went to the kitchen to get the seasoning. Should I say you are ignorant and fearless, or are you stupid and bold?Besides, you are a monster, do you also eat seasoning?

However, before he had time to criticize Mengxiu, the latter happily sat down and started to roast the rabbit. Looking at his skillful movements, Yang Yang asked, "You are very skilled in your movements, do you often roast them?"

"That's right. When I was in Danxun Mountain, I used to catch some wild game and roast it." Meng Xiu nodded and said, "The God of Danxun Mountain once praised me, saying that my roasted food is delicious!"

"Dan Xun still eats rabbits!?" Yang Yang was taken aback by his words, and said, "Isn't the mountain god a vegetarian?"

"Who told you that they are vegetarians?" Meng Xiu said while adding two sticks of firewood to the fire on the rabbit stand, he gave Yang Yang a strange look and said, "The spirits born from the veins of the earth are also spirits. You have seen Master Bai Ze and the others." Are you vegetarian?"

"That's true." Thinking about it this way, Yang Yang also figured it out. Although they are said to be gods, the difference between them and Bai Ze is that Bai Ze is a goblin cultivated from the essence of heaven and earth, while they are made from the meridians of Pangu. Cultivated, in essence, there is actually no difference.

Since Bai Ze and the others are not vegetarians, they naturally have no position to ask others to be vegetarians.

But... as long as he remembered that the rabbit and the seasoning came from this strange village, Yang Yang hesitated a little.

But half an hour later, when Meng Xiu brought the roasted golden and crispy rabbit to him, Yang Yang couldn't take his eyes off it.

"You really don't want to eat it?" Meng Xiu chewed the rabbit meat in his mouth, persuading him somewhat vaguely: "Would you like to have a bite, I roasted it really good."

Yang Yang was on the verge of crying when he looked at him, whose mouth was dripping with oil.Of course I know how delicious rabbit meat is, I can smell it, okay? ?
Besides, for a person who only eats something in the morning, let alone rabbit meat, I can eat it even if you give me a piece of pickle! ?But I dare not eat anything from this ghost place!
The complaints he made in his heart obviously did not affect Meng Xiu's appetite. Finally, under his constant persuasion, Yang Yang finally took the bunch of rabbit meat from him.

After taking that first bite, he put those struggles to the winds.

The big deal is death!But you can't be a starving ghost even if you die!Thinking of this, Yang Yang began to eat the roasted rabbit.

After the two were full, they talked for a while, and then each found a place to rest.

Yang Yang opened the sleeping bag in his backpack, spread it on the ground, hugged the snake egg in his arms, and lay down by the campfire.Meng Xiu glanced at him, blinked his eyes, turned back to his original form, and slept beside him.

One person and one monster experienced too many things this day, so it didn't take long before there were only two even breathing sounds left in the room.

I don't know how long it took, the snake egg in Yang Yang's arms suddenly flashed, and then lit up with a golden light, but the two of them were too sound asleep to notice.

In the middle of the night, the bonfire had become much smaller, but Yang Yang suddenly felt a little cold, he stretched out his hand to touch it in a daze, and touched a soft hair, which exuded some warmth, he sighed in his heart, Thinking, it would be convenient to take a pet with you when you go out, and then leaned over.

But what happened next didn't go as he wished. Yang Yang, who had just leaned on Meng Xiu's fur to warm him up a little bit, suddenly heard a faint singing sound. The bigger it is, it seems that there is a choir performing live not far away.

Finally, Yang Yang, who was quarreled unbearably, frowned and opened his eyes.

What came into view was still the big house, the bonfire in the house was almost extinguished, and the person lying next to him was the same little Mengji who had changed back to his original form.

But the difference is that it is no longer night outside. To be exact, the originally dark night has now been turned into a warm yellow scene by the torches, and the voice that woke me up just now came from outside the house.

He heard countless people singing the same tune, the tune was so sad, just like when refugees lost their homeland and birds lost their wings.
