C292 hare meat (2/2)
The aunt was very pretty, and it was obvious that she was a beauty when she was young. The most important thing was that she was a Homo sapiens, or more accurately speaking, she looked like a Homo sapiens on the outside.
”Aunt,” Chang Jing quickly ran over and greeted with a smile. ”Auntie, you're carrying water?”
”Yes, this is the water on which all of us in the village depend!”
But when she saw Chang Jing's appearance clearly, she could not help but be startled, and asked anxiously: ”Young man, do you see him clearly, is she from the outside?”
Chang Jing nodded her head repeatedly, not missing a moment to ask how she was going to get out of here.
When the aunt heard his tone, she could not help but let out a sigh of relief, ”Ah, so you are a guest from far away. I thought you were sent here to kill us!”
Although Chang Jing was very curious about who would come to kill them and why, she understood even more clearly that this was not the time to ask about these things.
”Of course we aren't. Who do you think would send a pair of grandfathers to kill people?” He casually pulled the fox spirit who had transformed into the old fox man and said, ”This is my grandmother, we have been lost here for many days!”
fox spirit seemed to enjoy Chang Jing's way of addressing her. She gently caressed his head with a smile that was full of benevolence, as if she was enjoying heaven's happiness.
This fox spirit really liked touching his own head more and more. Chang Jing glared at her and thought to herself that if he continued to touch her like this, before she grew old, her hair would fall off.
”Hehe, the forest is really too big. If a stranger were to enter, he would definitely get lost.” ”If the two guests don't mind, it's better if you come home with me first and stay at our place for the night. Tomorrow, my wife will go out for a while, and when it's suitable for him to go out, I'll let him take you out.”
Chang Jing actually wanted to ask about the way out very much, but first, the aunt was very hospitable, and second, she was not sure if she would be able to get out after asking about the way out, so she thanked her and pulled fox spirit along with him.
Along the way, the aunt introduced everything here with great enthusiasm.
From this, Chang Jing and the other two learned that the forest was called ”Boundless”, and that it was named after him. Even though the forest was not limitless, it was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. The aunt also explained the general situation of the village to him. It turned out that this was not some primitive village, but was actually formed by a lot of people who had offended some influential people or could not live much longer in the orc City.
There were no worldly disputes, nor was there any deceit. There were only simple and honest ways of doing things – just like how the aunt would bring the two of them home, how could a slightly cautious person bring a stranger home in this critical period?
But when Chang Jing asked who it was that was chasing after them, the aunt stopped talking and directly rushed forward without making a sound.
Soon, they arrived at their destination — Peace Village.
The people of Tranquil Village yearned for peace, and they also did what it was necessary for them to do.
They were all busy with their own affairs, but the peaceful expression on their faces could not be seen elsewhere.
”Here we are,” said the aunt, stopping them in their tracks. ”Wait here, I'll go in and say hello.”
Chang Jing said as she nodded her head in thanks.
The aunt immediately took the burden and went in, leaving the two people behind.
When the fox spirit saw that there were no more outsiders, he quickly asked, ”Do you really plan to stay here today?”
”What else can we do?” Chang Jing curled her lips and said, ”If it wasn't for someone blindly leading the way, I think we would have already reached our destination.”
”Then live well,” the fox spirit ignored him, pretending to be intoxicated as he pointed at the little village and said, ”Look at how good their lives are! ”We used to be like this. Everything was so simple, so simple, like people from another world!”
As she spoke, she thought back to the days beside the ancient god and her eyes couldn't help but dim down.
”Hehe,” she said with a wry smile, ”Speaking of which, we are originally people from another world … I wonder how Master is doing now, or does he look so relaxed every day, or is he just running around like us? No, what can the master be so strong and what can he not solve? He must be as happy as he was before! ”
Chang Jing did not quite understand what she meant, but seeing her sad look, she could not help but comfort her, ”As long as a person does not feel good about it, once everything is over, you will find that this kind of beauty is even better than being carefree!”
How can you taste the sweetness of honey without bitter astringency? People who have not been baptized by suffering will never understand the true meaning of life, let alone understand what is true happiness …
After a while, the aunt came out laughing.
”Please come in!” She called out, ”What a coincidence, next door's Wang Er just called a black bear over today. The black bear meat is very delicious, especially the claws, they are the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life! I've already told Wang Er that when he kills the black bear, he'll leave the bear's paw for you to eat. He's good at cooking black bear meat, and no matter how sweet or salty it is, he can make people swallow their own tongue.
