Chapter 874 Encounter
“Mommy and Daddy…”
“You’re awake, little lazy pigs.”
“We’re not little lazy pigs.”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and dressed the two children. She instructed them to wash up before calling them over for breakfast. Since they had already made up their minds, they would naturally bring the children along for the adventure.
They did not dare to let the children out of their sight. Now that they saw that the two children were still chained together, Shen Xiaoxiao really did not know what to think.
In fact, rather than that, it was better to bring the children along and risk it all. If they really could not protect the children, then the whole family would follow each other in life and death.
Seeing that the two children seemed to like eating the fried bugs, Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyes darkened. Her children were most afraid of these things in the past. It seemed that their adventure this time had really changed the two children quite a bit…
“Shall we set off during the day?”
“Yes, we will set off during the day. They must think that we will only set off at night. Moreover, they don’t know that we’ve found the children. Just now, I asked Ah Cai about some routes. He often hunts in the back of the mountain. He said that it’s a forbidden area, but there’s more than one road leading to the forbidden area.”
“Alright, we’ll set off after breakfast. Moreover, these clothes of the two of us look like we’re from this village.”
“Mm, right. We’ll borrow some garlic from Ah Cai later. Regardless of whether they use their sense of smell to judge us, we have to make more preparations.”
Everything had been arranged. When they went up from the secret compartment one after another, they saw that Ah Gen and Ah Tawa had woken up.
Ah Gen had already seen Yan Kuan and nodded at him. This family was finally reunited, and it was something to be happy about. Just now, they knew that they were going to enter the forbidden area… Ah Cai handed over his hunting arrows and hunting knife to Yan Kuan. Yan Kuan did not stand on ceremony, so he took it in his hand and left some medicine for them. The family of four entered the mountain through the back door of Ah Cai’s home.
Before, they thought that they would need to borrow some garlic to get rid of the strange smell, but this village did not have garlic. However, Ah Cai used the village’s fly-repelling gra.s.s to smoke and roast it on the family of four. This fly-repelling gra.s.s was something that every family in the village had. The smell was extremely strong. Of course, this made the smell on a person’s body no different from that of the other clansmen.
In addition, they were wearing the village’s clothes. Therefore, unless they were from the village, outsiders would definitely not be able to distinguish between the two of them.
If the secret guards were controlled by the smell of people, then the smell on their bodies was no different from that of the villagers. Then, they really had to take care of themselves.
“Ah Cai, why didn’t you stop them? It’s a forbidden area.” Ah Gen watched the family of four leave and was still worried, so he asked Ah Cai.
Ah Cai was very open-minded and said, “There are many outsiders around the forbidden area. I don’t believe that it’s really a forbidden area. Uncle Gen, don’t you understand? This is no longer our village. It’s impossible for nothing to change.”
Ah Gen sighed helplessly. Yes, it was impossible for nothing to change. Everything had changed since the prophet lived on the mountain.
There was also the legend in the village. They had waited for the so-called king for a thousand years but they had never appeared. Moreover, the people of the village wors.h.i.+pped the clan leader too much. There were clearly some things that were not right, but because the clan leader and the elders thought that it was right, the people of the entire village would also feel that it was right regardless of whether it was right or wrong.
Actually, many years ago, it was not true that outsiders had never come here. At that time, those outsiders were treated by Ah Cai’s parents. Although he was young at that time, he had heard a few things about the outside world. Later, the outsiders were caught by the clan leader. Although they did not give up his parents, everyone knew that. Therefore, this was also one of the reasons why ah Cai had always been disliked by the villagers.
Of course, this was also one of the reasons why Ah Cai’s thoughts were different from the others.
In addition, before, Ah Gen’s wife was taken in by the chief. Later, by chance, Ah Gen’s wife committed suicide, so he and Uncle Gen had some common understanding on certain things.
Now, he did not think that the outsiders were mysterious. Moreover, this forbidden land was a forbidden land in the eyes of the villagers. However, in his eyes, it was nothing more than an ordinary place that could not be any more ordinary.
And the prophets in this forbidden land were actually just like the outsiders who had intruded here before, nothing more than grave robbers.
Yan Kuan and the others walked up a small path at the back of the mountain. At this moment, the two children showed their tenacity and stubbornness. Even though the mountain path was not easy to walk on, they did not allow Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao to carry them.
If they were really camping or hunting in the mountains, this kind of family of four going out would be very good, but it was just not the case.
They set off in the morning. Because they had the help of the so-called ‘heavenly soldiers’, the village did not send people to continue looking for people in the vicinity. This mountain forest was unusually large, and this was not the back of the Shen family’s mountain, even Yan Kuan did not know what kind of mountain it was.
However, it had to be said that it was not an easy task to find their family of four in such a forest. Moreover, the secret guards would definitely not search collectively. They would definitely scatter their targets. If that were the case, they would be able to defeat them one by one. They would be able to catch them all in one go.
However, whether they were awake or not, it was still extremely good to be under their noses.
Yan Kuan watched the two children gnawing on the roasted chicken. The wild game in the mountain was really delicious. Moreover, this was the first time that Yan Kuan had made it on the spot. Therefore, the two children felt exceptionally happy and surprised. Moreover, some of the seasonings that Ah Cai had given to Yan Kuan and the others were grown by him. It also had a unique flavor. Even Shen Xiaoxiao’s mouth was full of oil.
Seeing his wife and children eating so happily, Yan Kuan naturally felt extremely comfortable in his heart.
The warmth revealed by the small cave was something that they had never felt in all these years.
After eating, the two children, no matter how energetic they were, had a good lunch break. Shen Xiaoxiao accompanied the children to rest in the cave for a while, and only continued their journey after 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
However, they did not meet anyone during this morning’s journey. However, just as they walked out of the cave, Dark 15 and 19, who was walking toward them, made their eyes light up. What luck. They ran into each other the moment they stepped out of the door.
When the two children saw the two of them walking over, they shouted happily, “Uncle, Uncle 15.”
The two children shouted so excitedly, but they did not attract the attention of the two of them. They were clearly not very far away, but the two of them did not even look at them. They turned their heads slightly as if they were sniffing something. Moreover, their eyes were empty and lifeless, as if they had really been bewitched.
“They are indeed sniffing.”
The two had just finished speaking when the two who were about to miss them suddenly stopped. They seemed to have smelled something different and slowly looked at the two of them. Yan Kuan smiled and let Shen Xiaoxiao and the two children take a step back. He walked forward and started fighting with his own secret guards.
