The village hidden in the mountains is said to be a village, but in fact there are only a dozen or so families who live by hunting.

These hunters seldom go out of the mountains on weekdays. The men go hunting in the mountains during the day, and the women take care of the children at home, take care of the vegetables and fruits planted in the front and back of the courtyard, and use coarse linen to darn clothes in their free time. Solve it with your own hardworking hands.

They knew very little about what happened outside the mountain. Occasionally, when a man from a family went to the city to sell animal skins, he would bring back all kinds of novel news outside the mountain.

It was just like this that Lemomenna and Khaleesi could rest here without worrying that Khaleesi, who was wanted throughout La Balsa, would be recognized by others.

Kalisi's arrow wound was not deep, less than an inch deep. After the bleeding stopped, she was bandaged with the herbs given by Orion, and she was able to walk slowly with the support.

Lemomena knew very well that the arrow was shot from behind them by the red-haired woman when she was chasing, and it should have been at the moment when she turned sideways to cover the horse with a cloak.

I have to say that her archery skills are quite good. She can accurately hit the target at the moment when both sides are rushing on the bumpy mountain road. This requires the archer to have superb skills, not only to be able to aim at fast-moving objects, but also Avoid bushes on either side that will block your view at any time.

The only thing that puzzled Lemomena was the length of the arrow... The power, speed, and trauma caused by the long arrow were far stronger than the short arrow.

Why did she shoot with a short arrow, knowing that it would only cause some insignificant skin trauma to them, why did she still use such a useless weapon?

Based on my understanding of the "Sword and Fire" style of work, such a powerful organization would not make such ridiculous mistakes, so why is this short arrow...?

"Menna." Khaleesi's brisk voice came, interrupting her thoughts just in time.

The moment she got up, she put the short arrow in her arms, raised her eyes, and watched Kalixi walk to the bedside and sit down, holding a small bag in her hand. "what?"

She raised a sweet smile, shook the small cloth bag, and said happily: "My aunt gave it to me. She said that there are a lot of snakes and insects in the mountains in summer. Put this next to the pillow to drive them away."

Walking to the door, he glanced at the dark yard. The evening breeze by the door brought the tranquility of the forest into the house, lifted the corner of his black robe, and gently closed the door in front of his eyes.

Lemomena pulled down the mask, showing a calm and indifferent face. Ever since Khaleesi saw her left arm by the water that night, she simply stopped covering it up. As long as no outsiders were present, she would take off this layer of concealment. With a black face scarf on his face, he calmly faced Khaleesi who had completely adapted to this green armor.

"Menna, are we leaving tomorrow?" Kalixi sat up on the bed, carefully raised her legs, trying not to involve the wound on her waist, and put the small cloth bag next to the pillow.

"Well, it's been a day, it's not safe here."

"Will those men in black come after you?" There was a faint dull pain coming from the waist, and there was a kind of forbearance between the furrowed brows.

He came to Khaleesi's side, and stretched out his hand to support her back, so that she could lie down without using the waist to exert force by using the arms supporting her back. "They probably didn't expect us to go directly into the village to live, and they were probably chasing us along the mountain road. But as long as they didn't find our whereabouts in a day or two, they would know that we were chasing in the wrong direction. Return here. Therefore, we must go tomorrow."

The arm resting on the back was carefully pulled away after Kalixi lay down. The face that was close at hand was dyed with a faint yellow halo, and the warm color caressed the strange blue patch on the left face. , was swallowed up by the cold hard armor in an instant, leaving only a condensed dark blue light.

Upon closer inspection, there are some tiny lines criss-crossing and meandering on the cyan skin, without any rules.

The faint light emitted by the small oil lamp on the table danced very lightly, and the night wind broke the calm woven by the light.

"How did these come here?" Couldn't hold back the curiosity for many days, and at the same time as she asked, Khaleesi already regretted it.

However, Lemomena seemed very casual. He walked to the table and sat down, staring at the dim light on the top of the oil lamp. Lixi looked at her with blue eyes tightened for no reason, for some reason.

It seems that because that smile hides too many things, such as flickering memories, such as forbearing sadness, such as indifference...

"When I was five years old, there was a fire in the place where I lived. When I was rescued by Muhali, I was seriously burned. He found an old witch doctor and asked him to treat my injuries. The old witch doctor Said that my injury was too serious and there was no hope of resuscitating it." At this point, Lemomena stopped, and when she turned her head to look at Kalixi, Lemomena stopped, and her eyes flashed leisurely, her indifferent brown eyes The dim halo entwined with threads penetrated those flawless blue pupils, reaching directly to Kalixi's beating heart that was caught off guard.

The deep and distant gaze disappeared when the brown eyes suddenly laughed again.Like this pair of light brown eyes filled with deep sorrow, it is just an illusion of Khaleesi, an illusion that is so real that it is terrifying.

What followed was still Lemomena's narration as calm as water, without the slightest emotion, just a simple and straightforward statement, making it impossible to see how heavy and terrible the disasters that happened to her were. .

"Muhali did not give up. He begged the old witch doctor to try his best to save me. Even if there was still a glimmer of hope, he had to try. The old witch doctor agreed to treat me, but he could only do his best. He told Muhali that he wanted to save me. The only way to save me was to try some unusual methods, and after hesitating, Muhali could only agree. Then, a miracle happened, and I survived." As the right hand caressed the left arm, the originally clear eyes dimmed, and hovered in a deep and terrifying way. undercurrent.

"Overnight, it became like this."

"What method did that old witch doctor use to treat you? Why didn't you ask him to heal these skins?" The eager eyes and urgent tone revealed Kalixi's nameless anxiety, and there was also a hint of pain.

"Muhali was furious and threatened the old witch doctor to kill him if he didn't cure me. However, without bothering him to do it, the old witch doctor ... committed suicide."

"what?!"

Laughing, Lemomena had no memory of the dead old witch doctor at all, but only vaguely remembered that it was a strange old man with no hair or eyebrows. "In front of Muhali, he stabbed the sword into his throat and died on the spot. Before he did it, he kept muttering in his mouth. Then, he took his own life with a sword."

Urgent, ask. "What did he say?"

He raised his hand, stroked his eyebrows, and brushed away the hair that had fallen to the corners of his eyes with his fingertips.Turning his face away, he blew out the flickering small flame on the wick, and it was not only the simple hut, but also Lemomena's cool eyes that suddenly darkened.

"It's nothing, it's just a frightened old man who said some crazy things before he died. Okay, the story is over, go to sleep."

Her evasion was very clear, and Khaleesi also knew that there was no point in asking more questions.Looking at her through the misty light, the quiet moonlight outlines a motionless silhouette beside the table, surrounded by a lonely and cold atmosphere, which makes this summer night also dyed with a suffocating coldness.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Some were afraid of such an atmosphere, and even more afraid that the black shadow beside the table would suddenly disappear in a gust of night wind.

"Go to sleep, I will sleep in a while."

"It was you who said you would get up early tomorrow, but if you didn't go to bed yourself, you wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow."

"I can get up."

"Then I won't sleep either."

"Kalisi..." sighed, full of helplessness.

"Kaleesi went to bed, Khaleesi went to eat, Khaleesi this, Khaleesi this--"

"I see, I'll sleep too." He said decisively, wisely interrupting Khaleesi's chatter.Standing up, relying on the bright moonlight sliding in by the wooden window frame, she walked towards the bed, with a reluctant slowness on her feet.

With blue eyes, she smiled silently, triumphantly.
