[Hunter] Canaan

The winter in the slums was colder than Canaan had imagined. Because she was looking for food to satisfy her hunger, the cooperation between her and Kate and the group of partners around Kate became more and more tacit. For one reason or another, they had to keep switching hiding places.

For example, they are hiding in the sewer now. The smell here is a bit uncomfortable for Canaan. Even if she covers her nose, she can still feel the smell that makes her want to spit it out because of the coexistence of five sense organs. . "You look very pale, you should rest for a while."

You can't hide in the sewer during the rainy season, because the rain will turn the entire sewer into a dangerous place with surging torrents, but in the dry season, this place is really a shelter... Well, I can't say it's very good, at least it's not bad Relatively comfortable place.

After getting along with Canaan for a long time, Kate discovered that this thin girl actually has a very useful function-no matter how far away she is, she can accurately find the position of the enemy and herself, even if someone is ambushing , she can also point out the danger ahead at the first time.

When Kate asked her how she did it, she always shook her head, and then pointed to her eyes, those silver-gray eyes slowly turned into a scorching, flame-like red in front of Kate .Although Kate didn't understand why those eyes turned red, it definitely had something to do with Canaan's ability.

The slums in winter are very cold.After Canaan came here, the clothes on her body were either Kate’s or her original clothes. Kate would pick up some needles and threads thrown away by others and bring back the clothes she couldn’t wear. Canaan wears it and dresses her up like a boy.

"Boys will be safer in the slums." He stretched out his hand and rubbed Canaan's hair. Although he wanted to throw her away at first, he slowly regarded her as a companion.

Canaan is still not very proficient in using the language here, and Kate can only understand some of what she said one after another. She nodded and curled up to one side to hold her arms - sure enough, even if she hid in the sewer, she would I feel cold.At this time, Kate's light golden color always looks very warm.

If it is too cold, Canaan will huddle with Kate and the dogs to keep each other warm.

Things changed one winter morning.Canaan looked at the serious Kate with a confused face, not knowing what kind of reaction he should show, the color on his body turned into worry and worry - this color was occasionally seen on him before , but this is the first time that it is so thick.

Kate's worries come from a broken old book he picked up earlier.

He can understand a little bit, he saw a nation called "Kuruta" in that old book, and what made him feel a burst of anxiety is hard to let go of, it is the intermittent description of this "Kuruta"— — When excited, it will turn into fiery red eyes.

This is how ordinary people distinguish the Kuruta from ordinary people.

And beside him, there happened to be a girl whose eyes turned red.

Canaan...is it the Kuruta clan?Kate couldn't help wondering, thinking of those crimson eyes that seemed to burn like flames.The color called "crimson eyes", it is said that as long as you have a pair of eyes, you can sell for a very high price.Kate's first reaction was that Canaan must not be allowed to go out again, and others must not see Canaan's eyes turn red again.

He squatted in front of Canaan, who still looked very thin, and put his hands on her gray hair, "Leave everything to me in the future, and I will take good care of you." If it falls into their hands, it can only be an ending.

This kind of thing must never happen.Kate, who was still young at the time, clenched one fist.

Worrying color.Canaan reached out and grabbed his hand, shook his head, looked at him in confusion, and asked with difficulty, "Why—what?"

"... Canaan, I have something to ask you." Kate stared at those silver-gray eyes, "Do you know who you are? I mean, do you remember what your relatives were like?" Although From the fact that the eyes turn red, it can be inferred that it may be the Kuruta tribe, but it is not entirely possible.

Canaan shook his head and looked at Kate quietly.

It's not that she doesn't want to answer him, but that she doesn't remember where she lived before coming here, and what kind of people she was raised by, and she didn't even remember her own name at first.

Kate could only rub her head and stopped asking questions.

How many people have seen Canaan's eyes change color before?He couldn't help thinking about this question. It seemed that it was best not to stay in the slums any longer. If he wanted to find food, he'd better go to the nearby mountains, maybe he could get fish or something like that.

"Stay here these few days and don't go anywhere. I'll go to the mountains over there to see if I can get a tree house, and we'll live there. Take them with you." Kate pointed at the dog companion behind her. They said, "We can't stay here any longer."

"Why?" Canaan frowned.

"Be obedient." Kate could only reach out and rub the little girl's head.

Canaan lowered his head and did not speak again. Did he sense any danger?Why do you suddenly ask yourself if you have any memories before you came here? "Where's food?" She asked in syllables with difficulty.

"I will find a way. Canaan just stay here."

The color of awareness... Kate's eyes changed again, Canaan opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't find the corresponding words to say what he wanted to say, so he could only reach out and tug his little finger, "Little --Heart."

"Yeah." Kate smiled and patted Canaan on the forehead like a dog.

The next day, Kate went out all day, and Canaan curled up in the hiding place with her eyes closed.

someone.

Not Kate.

Colors never felt before.

She stood up abruptly.

"Oh... a girl from the Kuruta tribe? No, no, this color is not as bright and intense as the crimson eyes..."

It's not the color of hostility. She can't understand this color or the person with this color. Of course, his speech speed is also very fast, and some words Canaan don't understand its meaning, such as the " "Kuruta" and "Crimson Eyes" and... well, basically she didn't understand much, so she could only take two steps back, tensing her body like a leopard cub that has encountered a lion.

"Do you live with these little guys?" The visitor squatted down with a smile | touched Lu Qi, who was left by Kate to watch the house, and the latter wagged his tail happily, "It's really interesting." Then he raised his head Come on, looking at Canaan who is about to explode, pointing at her with a hearty smile: "You are also very interesting."

... this uncle... what's going on...
