If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

The little deer man's big wet eyes were full of worry. He looked at the direction of the sound for a while, looked at Han Xiu for a while, opened his mouth and hesitated to speak.

Han Xiu gently stroked his soft hair: "Come on, let's go and ask what happened."

"Okay!" The little deer man nodded heavily, and followed Han Xiu to walk forward.Before they could look for it, two little children with wings flew in front of them.They took a look at the deer boy and stopped. The girl was about to say something, but the boy next to him stretched out his hand and tugged at her to signal him not to speak.Then the boy looked behind them again, and saw Jue with pink hair and Yingcao holding grass in his hand.Only then did he cautiously ask them: "Are you Xiaoluman, Yingcao and Jue?"

The little deer boy was the closest to the little boy, so he replied naturally: "Yes! We just heard the conversation between you, Master Qingming is there something urgent to send you to find us?"

The little girl flapped her wings cheerfully, and said quickly, "Master Qingming is very anxious..."

"Virgin!" The little boy scolded in a deep voice with a straight face, and the virgin immediately flattened her mouth and lost her voice, but her expression was very aggrieved.While rubbing the virgin's head with his wings, the little boy asked earnestly, "Why is there an extra person?"

"An extra person?" The little deer man was very puzzled, but he didn't find any extra person when he looked around.

The little boy pointed at Han Xiu and asked, "Who is he? Lord Qingming never mentioned him."

The little boy's question stumped everyone, and they realized that although the four of them always acted together, they didn't know how to address Han Xiu.

Han Xiu suddenly remembered that he had never introduced himself: "My name is Han Xiu."

"Name?!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"We didn't ask for your name!" The boys and girls waved their hands in fright.

"Why did you say your own name!" Yingcao was surprised.

"Idiot!" Jue rolled his eyes at the sky.

"Did I forget to tell you that you can't say your name?" Little Deer Man looked at Han Xiu worriedly, his black pearl-like eyes were full of self-blame, and he was about to cry.

Han Xiu was also puzzled by everyone's reaction: "Why can't you say your name?"

The guilt in the little deer man's eyes deepened: "The name is very important to monsters. Although the name represents you, it is also a kind of natural and very powerful bondage. No matter how powerful a monster is, it will not easily tell others its name. Because once the name is known by a powerful person, he can even make you work for him with just your name."

The little deer man was about to cry, and Han Xiu hurriedly comforted him: "I am different from you. Although I am also a monster, I am not a local monster. In our place, everyone calls each other by first name." , the name is just a title for us, without any binding force."

"Really?!" Little Deer Man wept with joy, "That's really great!"

The rest of the people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Han Xiu curiously asked a question at this time: "What I have been calling you all along is not your name? What is that?"

Yingcao patted his chest with an overly frightened look: "'Yingcao' is a kind of grass, which is the name of my race; 'Jue' is the same; as for 'Little Deer Man', you can tell at a glance, this The title is very vivid."

Han Xiu rubbed his smooth chin thoughtfully: "What about Shuten and Ibaraki?"

Yingcao was stunned: "I don't know either."

"Jiu Tun is because he likes to drink." Tong Nan explained.

"What about Ibaraki?" Han Xiu asked persistently.

Tong Nan glanced at Han Xiu expressionlessly, and then explained solemnly: "'Ibaraki' sounds the same as 'loving mother', the way he keeps looking at Jiu Tun is really impressive, but both of them are very capable. Powerful, no one dared to call 'Mother', so they called him 'Ibaraki'."

"Pfft ha ha ha!" Everyone was stunned for a while and then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahaha, so that's how Ibaraki came from!" The virgin laughed out of breath, and her wings kept trembling.

"Okay, don't laugh." The only one who didn't smile was the virgin boy, his expression didn't change at all, serious and serious, "Don't forget why we came here, virgin girl."

The calm words drew everyone's attention back, the boy nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Not long ago, a human came to seek help from Lord Qingming, and a tragic tragedy happened in their village. Almost every day, people died or died. Missing. Originally, Seimei-sama should have gone there in person, but Kagura suddenly developed a high fever and fell asleep, so the two of us came to seek your help."

Han Xiu agreed without the slightest hesitation. Originally, one of his original intentions to track down the ghost-faced man was to not want another tragedy to happen.Although there is no clue that this incident is related to the ghost-faced man, it is indeed a tragedy. Since Qingming thinks that he can do it, then he is naturally obliged.

The rest of the people had no objection, so the boys and girls flapped their wings and flew ahead to lead them: "Hurry up, we've been delayed for a long time, it's best to arrive before it gets dark today."

Boys and girls were guiding them in the front, and they were flying not too far or too close. Han Xiu and the others chased after them. After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached their destination.

An ordinary village suddenly appeared in front of them in the distance, and boys and girls also descended from the sky in front of Han Xiu: "This is it."

"Thank you for leading the way." Han Xiu panted slightly to express his gratitude to them, "We'll go in now to check the situation, you guys go back first." The winged monster is just a child, and the next thing should not be left to them.

The girl was already excited and wanted to leave when she heard Han Xiu's words. She couldn't wait to go back and stay by Master Qingming's side.The boy quietly took his sister's hand, and asked calmly, "Do you know the way to Qingming's house?"

Only then did Han Xiu realize the mistake he made, so he added: "Then please act with us."

The boy nodded expressionlessly, and held his sister's hand without letting go: "Don't take care of us too much. Although the two of us are indeed weak, our speed is so fast that almost no one can catch up to us." , and I will take good care of my sister."

Han Xiu rubbed the boy's head, and muttered softly in Chinese: "You really are a big kid."

"What?" The boy couldn't understand what Han Xiu said.

"It's nothing, I said let's go in." Han Xiu shook his head and walked in front of the crowd.As soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they smelled a strong smell of blood.What's even more strange is that under the blue sky and bright sun, the doors of every house in this village were closed. They didn't see anyone from the beginning to the end of the village. It seemed that there was no one in this village.

But if this was the case, why would anyone go to Qingming for help?Han Xiu walked to the door closest to him and pushed the door, and found that the door was indeed locked from the inside. Then he knocked on the door panel, but no one answered.He knocked on the door again without giving up, but still no one answered him.Then they changed several houses, all of which were in the same situation. The doors of every house were tightly locked from the inside, but no one answered when they knocked on the door.

When Han Xiu knocked on the door of the ninth family, he pushed Han Xiu away impatiently, picked up the mace and knocked hard on the door, the whole door trembled, even the dust on the door So rustle down.

Suddenly a baby's cry erupted in the house, and everyone looked at each other: there is someone inside!

But then the child's crying became smaller and smaller, as if someone had covered his mouth and nose so hard that it was difficult to make a sound.Oops!Is there a tragedy happening inside?Jue picked up the mace again and knocked hard on the door, but the door that looked crumbling survived by Jue's survival.

Although the door hadn't collapsed yet, the nerves of the people inside had completely collapsed, and the baby's loud cry sounded again, and this time there was another female voice.The female voice was crying, trembling, and pleading: "I beg you! I beg you, please let our mother and child go! We don't taste good! We don't taste good!"

The people outside the door looked at each other, what did the people here go through to be so scared?

"We don't eat people, and we don't have any malicious intentions. We just want to ask about the situation here." Han Xiu leaned against the door and said as softly as possible.

"No, I don't know, I don't know anything!" The person inside was crying hysterically, and there was no useful information from her mouth.

Standing in front of the door, Han Xiu sighed faintly, turned around and led the others away. Even though he was far away from the collapsed mother, her hysterical crying seemed to linger in their ears all the time.Everyone's mood became heavier than ever. What kind of torture would make them collapse even if they ask a word?

Han Xiu wandered around the village like a headless chicken, but no matter which door he knocked on or what he said at the door, there was only one result - silence.

It was getting late, but Han Xiu and the others found nothing. Han Xiu stood on the empty village road in silence for a long time. After a long time, he said, "Let's be the bait."

"En!" Xiaoluman and Yingcao nodded fiercely in agreement, the people here are really pitiful, and they don't want to make the tense nerves of the villagers even more tense.The rest of the people did not express any objection, and Han Xiu led them to search for idle houses in the village.

After walking not far, Han Xiu noticed that there was a door that was ajar. It seemed that this door was reserved for them.The black crack in the door seems to be aggressively provoking them: there is a trap inside, do you dare to come in?

Han Xiu turned his head to look at the partners behind him, and they all nodded towards Han Xiu without exception. Han Xiu turned his head, took a deep breath, and firmly pushed open the half-hidden door.

The author has something to say: Yingcao is holding the grass all the time, and Cimu is carved like a loving mother.
