Chapter 37: Hayashi Nakagiya

"Yes, yes, Xiaoxue is the best."
The light of the flashlight guided Hua Yueling's path forward. He ran tirelessly, his footsteps jumping like notes in his ears, and the crisp sound of stepping on dry leaves and branches was the accompanying sound.
No matter how far away the transformation monkey is, he can't relax his mind, maybe he can really feel relieved when he runs out of the wild woods.
Just bury their heads and ran away for an unknown period of time. They came to a slightly empty area, where there were no longer dense trees, no longer covered in darkness, and the gaps above were obviously increased, and a lot of sun beams fell on the ground.
"It's so beautiful!" Hua Yun blurted out, marveling at the fantastic scenery.
"Where is this place?"
A wonderful scene that had never been seen before came into view. There were broken and collapsed trees everywhere, which seemed a little chaotic. The leaked light hit the branches and leaves, the trees, and the ground in bunches.
After careful observation, Hua Yueling found that most of the fallen trees were trees with thinner trunks, the thickest of which was about the same as the waist of an adult.
Most of these trees have withered, and the "faces" exposed by the blue sky can barely be seen through the larger gaps between the branches and leaves. Hua Yun calls this a "relic" because not far away stands a dilapidated wooden house. There are many scattered wood and stones that can hardly be seen around the wooden house.
"It seems to be abandoned for a long time."
Carrying her sister, carefully walked through the messy area.
In front of the dilapidated wooden house, he put his sister down, and the two stood in front of the house, observing the situation inside the wooden house through the light beams falling on the ground and the light of flashlights. The wooden house was seriously damaged, most of it collapsed, but it didn't look like natural damage, it looked like it had been attacked by something, and something could be vaguely seen from the wooden walls.
"It feels terrible." Hua Yun took a few steps, and probed into the wooden house. "There is also a mess inside, and it's blocked everywhere."
How can I let my sister go into the wooden house alone, and it will be troublesome when encountering danger. Hua Yueling quickly walked two steps to catch up, and followed her sister to protect him.
Like her sister, she looked inside, and as she said, the damage inside the wooden house was more serious than what appeared outside. There were piles of tattered pieces of wood that had been broken into several sections. Many of them were buried in the mud along with the wood. The doorway was a little better, and there were not many places to stand after entering.
"Go inside and take a look."
The abandoned dilapidated wooden house aroused Hua Yun's interest in exploring, and she couldn't wait to go deeper into it. Hua Yueling originally wanted to stop her sister. After all, they were still on the way to escape. Who knew if they would be caught up by the transformed monkey halfway down the road, but when he caught his sister's interested eyes, he just couldn't speak.
Following my sister’s random search inside the wooden house, perhaps most of the things were buried. They could not find any furniture in the wooden house, nor did they find anything that could be used, diaries or papers, etc. Describe the supplies.
"It's nothing, there is no atmosphere of adventure at all."
After exploring the wooden house, Huayun complained that she had not found anything. She thought she could find something interesting, but she was disappointed.
Went around the wooden house, somehow, the surrounding atmosphere was quite strange, which made people shudder unconsciously. Behind the wooden house, Hua Yueling found a strange building, but the building was so damaged that it was impossible to see the original appearance.
"Master, please leave here as soon as possible!" Hua Yingxue's illusory body can only vaguely see the outline of the figure emerging in her mind, and at the same time Hua Yueling's ears heard her serious reminder.
"Did the modified creature catch up? So fast?"
"No, no, it has nothing to do with the transformation of creatures, it is for other reasons." Hua Yingxue said anxiously, "The master's current strength cannot cope with the situation, and it may even be life-threatening if he continues to stay!"
Hua Yingxue's suggestion Hua Yueling could not help but listen, especially when her tone was so determined and serious, he didn't want to fall into the wolf's den after escaping from the tiger's mouth. The words
life-threatening
alone were enough to attract his attention.
"Sister Yun, let's go faster, there is a situation here!"
Grasping her sister's wrist, Hua Yueling didn't care about explaining anything, she quickly picked up her sister and separated from this chaotic area. Shuttle among the dense trees, the figures of the two siblings quickly disappeared into the darkness bred by the wild woods.
Behind them, the sun shone on the dilapidated wooden houses and the withered dead trees. Even under the radiance of light, you can't feel the power that represents life from it. Lifelessness is the most suitable description here, where you can't feel the breath of life.
The depression disappeared without a trace as they moved, and their emotions relaxed.
"call--"
"Ha, ha—" After running for a long time, Hua Yueling was also a little tired. He panted quickly. Although he was resting in the wooden house for a while, due to the atmosphere, he did not recover much strength. At this time, he wanted more rest. The fatigue and pain on his body were not a joke. If he hadn't persisted, he would immediately fall to the ground and fall asleep.
"Xiaoling, are you tired? Let's take a break, it should be no problem here, or my sister can carry you on her back, and my physical strength is almost restored."
"No, sister Yun, I can still hold on!" Hua Yueling was not ready to bother her sister.
"I just love to try hard, I'm obviously so tired. It's not shameful to rely on me, Xiao Ling, let my sister down, and my sister will go with you. Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you slow down." Taking into account Hua Yueling's thoughts , Hua Yun didn't say much. Hua Yueling, who was about to reject her proposal, thought for a while, and put her sister down. He was still a little worried, so he asked with concern and got a positive answer.
They hurriedly hurried, spent more than an hour, finally reached the exit of the wild wood forest.
When the sight was filled with the empty scenery outside, the surprise in the hearts of Hua Yueling and Hua Yun was self-evident. Tired and exhausted, they relaxed from the tense escape and felt relieved.
"It should be okay to run out, right?"
"Ok."
With Hua Yingxue's assurance, Hua Yueling was completely relieved, and he sat down on the ground without energy.
"Out!"
Hua Yun cheered, remembering that everything in the barren woods was so incredible, she wanted to celebrate with her younger brother, but saw that Hua Yueling was half-squinted at this time, lying weakly on the overgrown ground.
Kneeling down, she lifted her brother's body and let him lean in her arms.
"Xiao Ling, are you tired?"
"Ok."
After staring at her younger brother's profile for a long time, Hua Yun sighed, and she swallowed the words she was about to say. Her younger brother looked like this, and it was really difficult for her to speak to him.
"Sleep for a while, you won't be tired after the rest."
Hugging him tightly in her arms, hitting her chin on the top of his head, Hua Yun whispered.
