Chapter 1580: Peeping
The next morning, Zhang Zian and the Elfins all got up a little late. Although the bed was hard and uncomfortable to sleep on, it was a flat bed, not pothole-filled land, so they didn’t want to get up.
He still had to get up even if he didn’t want to. After all, the journey wasn’t over yet. After all, this wasn’t his home. The earlier he achieved his goal, the earlier he could go home.
After breakfast, Zhang Zian wrote a few words on a piece of paper with charcoal in English and then stuck it on the inside of the window. The key is under the stone at the door. Don’t smash the gla.s.s.
If there were other travelers here in the future, they would definitely look through the gla.s.s and see the paper and the message on it.
He also wrote another note and placed it on the floor. It meant: Please use whatever you want, and leave it as it is when you leave.
He did all these unnecessary things because, first, it would be a pity if the house was destroyed, and second, he took some of the owner’s medicine and saw. He did it out of compensation, even though the owner might never come back.
After that, he packed his things and backpack, covered the furniture in the room with the White cloth, locked the doors and windows, and left the house with the Elfins. He pressed the key under the original stone.
Before leaving the village, he covered the well with a wooden board to prevent the fallen leaves from falling in, and then pressed a stone on the wooden board to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. As long as one had a normal IQ and eyes, they would notice the well.
When he called for the Elfins to set off, he noticed that Fati was sitting upright. It was not the kind of sitting that cats and dogs did casually. It was more like a serious sitting posture. His back was straight, and his body was like a reef that was ready to resist the wind and waves.
Its eyes were closed, and its mouth seemed to be chanting something silently. Its face was bathed in an almost holy brilliance, and there was a solemn atmosphere around it … Even if it had the appearance of a Wolf, it was difficult to treat it as a bloodthirsty beast.
Zhang Zian didn’t dare to disturb it, and he also stopped Richard, who was always talkative, from continuing to make noise.
After a while, Fati opened his eyes. There was an unyielding light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes, and there seemed to be a deep sorrow. It was not a sorrow for the individual fate, but a higher level. It was somewhat like old time tea’s compa.s.sion for the state of the universe, but not entirely. It was more like the helplessness of facing the collapse of a building.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
Zhang Zian noticed that it was in a strange state and asked.
Fati looked up at the sky and mumbled,””The sky … Is about to turn dark.”
When he got up in the morning, there was sunlight s.h.i.+ning through the window. Zhang Zian thought it would be another sunny and cloudy day, so he didn’t pay much attention and was busy with the ch.o.r.es.
At this moment, he also raised his head. Through the gaps between the leaves, he could see dark clouds gathering on the horizon in the Northwest.
This was not the rapidly moving c.u.mulonimbus clouds that were usually seen in thunderstorms. Those clouds were blown by strong winds. They seemed menacing, but they left as quickly as they came, and their area of influence was narrow. Often, there would be sunrise in the East and rain in the West. The characteristic was that the clouds were very low, and the dark clouds seemed to be about to crush the city, as if they were about to fall above their heads.
The clouds in the sky at this time were probably caused by the slowly moving cold edge, forming a large area of high-level clouds. This kind of clouds would not bring strong winds and heavy rain, but it would bring bad weather for a long time.
The good weather that had lasted for several days was finally coming to an end.
Zhang Zian was also very regretful. The rain would cause some problems, and even starting a fire would be more difficult. However, he was still optimistic. At least this matter would not affect his mood too much.
“It’ll clear up eventually. ” He consoled.
Fati continued to stare at the sky worriedly.”No, you don’t understand.”
Zhang Zian followed its line of sight and was surprised to see that the two human-shaped clouds that had existed since yesterday were still floating in the air. One of them was in the Northwest, and the heavy clouds seemed to be coming from him … No, from behind it, as if they were going to devour the human-shaped cloud in the southeast.
In one day and one night, not only were the two clouds not blown away, but they also changed their shape constantly. It was an anomaly.
He was amazed. Unfortunately, due to the cover of the leaves and the fatigue of the journey, he did not have the time and ability to spend a whole day taking pictures of the changes in the two clouds. Otherwise, if he posted it on the internet, it would definitely cause a lot of people to Marvel. He might even become an internet celebrity.
“We are losing this battle of faith.” “No,” Fati said sorrowfully.”Whether it’s the quant.i.ty or quality of faith, the other party’s power is not inferior to ours.”
Zhang Zian couldn’t understand what it was saying, but he could tell from its tone that the situation was serious. He remembered that the light that it represented on the game Capture interface had been weakening. Perhaps this meant that its power was weakening … Or being suppressed.
“What do you mean?” He asked in confusion.
Fati sighed.”Do you still remember what you said? The invasion of foreign species. Whether it was a cat or a Beaver, they were all foreign species in this forest. “Sometimes … Faith is the same. Faith that doesn’t belong to this continent is invading this continent. The new evil is corrupting us from the inside.”
Its explanation was equivalent to no explanation, and he was even more confused.
“Maybe this is fate. To some extent, we are also invaders. We replaced the Native Americans, and now someone else is going to replace us.”
Fati’s words seemed to be cutting to the chase, but it also seemed to be expressing something vaguely.
Zhang Zian didn’t understand, but it wasn’t good to say nothing, so he tried to persuade her,””Actually, I think it’s up to man to do it. Besides, faith is something that keeps up with the times. Take this forest for example. The key is not the alien species, but whether they will cause harm to the ecosystem of this forest …”
He didn’t know what he was talking about. It was like he was talking nonsense and didn’t have any comforting effect.
As he spoke, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was being spied on by someone. This feeling was familiar. It was the feeling of being secretly observed by Vladimir in the capital.
He looked at the forest next to him. It was very quiet in the forest. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the strong contrast between light and darkness was very suitable for animals to hide in. He looked around a few times, but did not find any human or animal shadows.
When he looked over, the feeling of being watched disappeared.
He counted the number of wolves again. All the gray wolves were here, playing and chasing each other. Not a single one was missing, so it couldn’t be a Wolf.
The elves were also nearby, ready to set off.
Neither the wolves nor the elves had any abnormal reactions, indicating that they had not noticed anything unusual.
A deer? A Badger? Is it a coyote? Black bear? Or were there other animals hiding in the forest?
Or was he being overly sensitive?
