Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 4
Evenings on the grasslands are always long.

The boy guarded the wooden box, looking at the shimmering holy river.

My sister is gone.

He picked up another sister.

She is very beautiful, but like her sister, her face is dark.

The butler said that his face was darkened and he would not live long.

So the sister died.

He wanted to close the box, but Yuan pushed it back.

He couldn't even support himself, let alone a dying child.

But when he closed the lid, he suddenly heard a cry of "huh".

No loud cries.

Like a cat meowing.

The boy's hand seemed to be frozen.

There was only one seam left on the cover, and only the baby's eyes could be seen, which were very black and bright, like a lake, and he could see his own reflection.

There were tears in those eyes.

Seeing her appearance, the boy thought of his younger sister, and tears rolled down his face.

He flung open the lid and reached out to lift the baby out.

There was a heavy, soft little thing in her hand that could move, and she just picked it up, and she smiled at herself.

The setting sun shone on her face.

The boy looked at the baby.

He swiftly wrapped her up in his sister's old swaddle, which he was reluctant to lose, and tied her behind him like a younger sister.

Then he collected the box, covered the box again, and pushed the holy river vigorously.

Soon the box sank into the water.

He left the holy river with a living baby on his back.

Behind him, the water of the holy river slapped against the shore, washing the beach over and over again, washing away his footprints just now, and it was a flat white sand again.

The boy raised his head and walked forward.

The baby was behind him, a little warm.

The setting sun is also behind him, and it is also a little warm.

He didn't look back.

She also didn't notice that the setting sun shone on the baby, and the sun seemed to be absorbed by her. The baby lay on his back, and fell asleep sweetly.

He wants to find a new job to earn a living. He has to support himself and his sister.

Yes, it's my sister.

Thinking of this, the boy puffed out his chest and tied his belt tighter. His stomach was hungry.

After leaving the holy river, he didn't need to carry a heavy wooden box, and he didn't take another detour this time. He came to a small market just after dark.

He remembered that goat milk was sold in this market.

He found four iron coins in the corner of the box.

I don't know why the box is very good, and my sister's clothes are also very good, but there are only four old coins and a knife in it.

But having four old coins is better than nothing, just to buy some goat's milk for my sister, let's get through tonight first.

The teenager has a good memory.

Soon I found a place that sold goat milk.

Holding four iron coins, he bargained with others and bought a bucket of goat milk.

He was going to find a place to feed his sister goat milk. On the grassland, at night, the temperature would drop very quickly and it was very cold, so he had to find a shack.

Turning around without expecting, I saw a group of familiar people facing me.

He is a long-term worker of the Dabus family.

"It's Aluna bastard, I found it."

"You dare to steal the housekeeper's money, you are dead."

"Ah Lu, you are the one who took the gold that Dabus lost, so come back with us."

The boy turned around and started to run.

Don't forget the goat's milk in your hand.

Can't be caught.

He only took the money from the big housekeeper, but according to those people, they would also blame him for what the big bus lost.

He would be beaten to death, and so would his sister.

Thinking of this, he ran even faster.

There are many people behind.

The pursuit is getting closer and closer.

If this doesn't work, if you continue to circle around the market, you will be caught sooner or later.

He looked at the dark grassland ahead, gritted his teeth, and suddenly jumped over a wooden railing and ran into the depths of the grassland.

Those who were chasing after him seemed to be about to catch that bastard, but they didn't expect this to happen. A group of people stood at the railing, watching the boy's figure getting smaller and smaller.

"Still chasing or not?"

"The butler just asks us to kill him. If he enters the grassland at night in winter, he will definitely not survive. We will guard here to prevent him from sneaking back."

The young Alu ran very fast.

It was pitch black at the edge, but it became brighter as it went deeper.

It seems that in the grassland, the moon is rounder than outside.

Finally, when he could only hear the sound of his own breathing in the entire grassland, he stopped.

But I don't know where it is.

He looked back, and there was darkness behind him, and he could not see the lights of the market, nor the lights of the stars.

Alu was a little scared, and couldn't go deep into the grassland at night.

Even if you are shepherding sheep on weekdays, you are accompanied by groups of people, and you have to go back to your residence before dark.

"Gudu."

There was a soft sound behind him, and Ah Lu came back to his senses.

He still has his sister on his back.

This is not the time to be afraid.

The moon in the sky is extraordinarily bright.

A Lu found a small slope leeward of the wind, and began to quickly collect weeds, and then set the haystack on fire with a flint and steel.

When the small fire in front of him ignited, the flames crackled.

Ah Lu sat down on the ground.

At this moment, he only felt tired and thirsty, and his whole body ached.

He put down the swaddling baby, and under the moonlight, my sister lay obediently, not crying or making trouble.

A Lu took out the small wooden bucket containing goat milk, which was very strong, and the goat milk did not leak out.

He unscrewed the cap, gently pointed the mouth at his sister, and watched the goat milk flow into her mouth little by little.

Her little neck was bulging, and the food was delicious.

Xu Shi was very hungry, she drank a little too fast, coughed it up accidentally, and choked a mouthful of goat milk on her face.

A Lu quickly wiped it with his hand, and then seriously licked his hand that was stained with goat milk.

A little fishy, ​​a little salty, and a little sweet.

By the fire, a boy and a baby.

Under the starry sky, a grassland, a fire.

After feeding half a barrel of goat's milk, my sister stopped eating and lay down cheerfully, breaking her feet vigorously with her hands.

A Lu looked at the remaining goat milk, swallowed, and screwed the lid on.

He is very hungry.

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the grass, Alu pushed his sister back, jumped up, and smashed the stone that he had prepared long ago with all his strength.

I saw a small snake struggling under the stone.

After struggling wildly for a while, the snake stopped moving.

A Lu waited for a while, and there was no further movement, before going over, picking up the snake, with a happy expression on his face.

Dinner is settled.

He threw away the smashed head of the snake, and tore off the snake's skin with the small knife. The black knife was extremely sharp. He cut a wooden stick through it and roasted it on the fire.

When it was almost cooked, I found a little salty grass juice and squeezed it on.

A Lu roasted the snake while looking at his sister.

Seeing that she was pushed aside by him just now, she was lying on her stomach, and she was looking up at her at this moment.

But after she raised her head for a while, she seemed to be tired, and with a thud, her head fell down, but she couldn't turn over, and could only lie on her stomach like that.

Alu laughed.

My sister is so cute.

After a while, I saw her struggling to raise her head again.

Ah Lu's snake was also roasted, and he bit it vigorously, it was delicious and fragrant.

Looking at my sister's head raised high.

A Lu chewed the snake meat, chewed it badly, spat out a small mouthful, put it in his hand, and stuffed it into his sister's mouth.

I saw that she actually ate it with her mouth in her mouth.

Then A Lu picked up his younger sister and hugged her in his arms. He took a mouthful of snake meat himself, and then fed his younger sister a mouthful.

A small snake, the two ate it together, and both of them felt warm.

I don't know if it's because of my sister, or because of the snake.

"Ouch..."

In the distance, wolves howled.

Ah Lu hugged his younger sister tightly.

Leaning on the slope, looking up at the sky, the sky is full of stars, so beautiful.

The baby in his arms looked up too.

The baby's eyes also hold the whole starry sky.
