The sun rises again from the back of Longji mountain. The slight cheers echoed continuously in the molten iron camp. It was the people who were glad to see the light again.
But not all living things like light. Mice are always at night. The sun, which used to be loved in the past, has become a sharp blade that constantly hurts the fragile eyes. The fur on the body also absorbs enough heat from the sun, making people feel as hot as a fire.
"Doesn''t the grey robe mean that he can live a normal life?" Peggy stood next to Carus, and from the distant hillside looked at the shrunk figure by the stream.
The devil glanced at the little witch around him and shrugged his nose. "The wizard only said that he could live like a rat man. He never said he could be a human again. The mouse, should recognize their own identity, obediently hide in the shadow, waiting for the sunset to come out to pick up the leftovers that others don''t want. "
The witch frowned. Her green hair covered her forehead, making it impossible to see her expression from above. "It sounds like you."
"Tut Tut," said Carus, smiling helplessly at Peggy''s affront, "though I don''t know how you convinced the wizard to untie your curse and allow you to follow us. But you''d better be polite. I don''t care. If it''s too aggressive, no one will like it
The girl glared at the killer, "no trouble. I don''t need to please anyone
"Is it? Are you going to take this boy to your port and put a collar and chain on him for a pet? " After finishing this sentence, a flash of fire flashed in his eyes, and the tiny plants just drilled out of the ground under his feet burned and withered and turned into fly ash.
Peggy saw that both words and magic had no effect on Karus. He bit his lips and turned away angrily. "Three days later, if he doesn''t choose you, I''ll take him away."
The killer''s hands spread out and shrugged casually, "whatever you want, my lady." After the witch left, the smile on the face of the demon disappeared. With his red pupil, he watched the small body that was struggling to climb to the edge of the stream to drink. "You won''t let me down, will you?"
The boy who became a rat man didn''t know everything on the distant hillside. Even if he did, he wouldn''t care. Pain comes from physiology and psychology. The burning sensation of burning five internal organs is hard to remove after drinking water. I wish I were dead. More than once, this thought appeared in his mind, but he remembered his mother''s eyes before being crushed by the collapsed roof, and his arms regained some strength. Not yet. Die here!
"Poop Carus watched coldly as his apprentice fell into the stream. The fur on his body became a heavy constraint after absorbing water, which made him unable to get up. If we say that at the beginning the devil just because of the child''s talent and feel a little interest in him, then now he has unconsciously seriously taken each other. For no other reason, similar circumstances remind the killer of the scene when he just awakened the devil''s blood. But his sympathy is not cheap. There are many people in the world with similar sufferings. Carus is not interested in helping them one by one. He only helps those who stand up.
"Hoo..." The boy finally got up from the stream. His wet body made him feel much better. This young rat man raised his head to look at the sun in the sky. As a human being, it would only make him feel dazzling. But now, even if he was in touch for a moment, the pain would be transmitted directly to the brain through his eyeball, making him have a splitting headache. The intense pain reminded him that he was no longer human. But it didn''t make him give up, one second, two seconds
The mob didn''t know what would happen if the rat looked directly at the sun. He knew the race''s aversion to the sun, and that there were not many people who could resist their own race''s instincts. So when he saw the child fall straight into the stream, it was too late.
It was evening when the boy woke up again. He found himself moved under a tree, and in front of him stood Carus, a serious looking man. The demon family realized that the other side woke up and slapped the latter to wake up quickly. Then he stretched out two fingers and swayed in front of the rat man. "What is this?"
The boy wanted to open his mouth to answer, but thought that he could not speak, so he had to feebly stick out two fingers with claws.
"Hum." Seeing that the answer was correct, Carus snorted coldly and took back his hand. Then he grabbed the hair on the top of the boy''s head and pulled it up. There were two flames in his eyes. "Listen, boy, if you do this stupid thing again, I can help you get rid of it quickly." With that, he left the rat man and disappeared behind another tree.
The boy rubbed his eyes and was made more painful by the hair on the back of his hand. He covered his face and sobbed, until the sun was completely set, and the burning sensation disappeared with the light. Hunger reminded him that he couldn''t go on like this. Get up and put your limbs on the ground naturally. This seemingly inborn habit made him pause for a few seconds, and then, though unable to get used to walking on two feet, he stood up and walked forward like a man.
There was no problem at all. The boy quickly adapted to walking on both feet, but the key is that this way of action can only let him walk, and walking, there is no way to hunt for food. After releasing the last rabbit who came back late, the rat man collapsed on the ground. He was too hungry to stand up again. Next to the tree, I do not know when a few crows fell, they tilt their heads to look at the poor child under the tree, to figure out when to eat him."Doodle!" A grasshopper fell in front of the mouse man''s face, shouting loudly, as if laughing at his weakness or even worse than a bug. But he didn''t expect the mouse''s tongue to pop out of the gap in his mouth like lightning, and immediately wrapped it in the mouth that had not eaten anything.
It''s a little crisp, with grass and a slight fishy smell. This is the boy''s evaluation of the grasshopper. After eating this is not a snack, he finally recovered a little bit of physical strength, supporting his body to climb up again. This time, tired, he had to give up standing on two legs and move forward on his stomach like a real mouse. With his keen vision and sense of smell, combined with his beard on his mouth, he searched in the grass. No insect could escape such a huge predator, especially when the latter was hungry.
After a moment of silence, the rat looked for the direction of the fire from the hillside. Moo watched all this in the dark, and did not show any joy when he saw that the boy learned to take advantage of his new body.
Eating insects is not enough to feed a rat as big as a human, but after searching for one night, the boy succeeded in keeping his stomach from tumbling because of hunger. He looked at the white outline in the distance, and consciously drilled into a hole in the soil that had been found before. The foxes, or some other place where they were supposed to be, were going to collapse.
For a rat man, the day begins at dusk. After a day''s rest, his physical strength was greatly restored and his stomach was completely emptied. Instinctively, the boy began to look for insects in the grass as he did yesterday. Of course, he also wanted to hunt for bigger prey, but there were only birds nearby except for insects. When looking for food, the time always passed quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, it was midnight. Because of his proficiency, the boy found much more food this time than yesterday. He even began to choose some delicious insects to eat and stay away from those with peculiar smell. He ate more and more, faster and faster, and there was only one thing left in the rat''s brain, eating. As for the memory of being human, the three-day agreement between Carus and himself, what is that? Better bugs?
The devil''s expression became ugly, and the feeling of disappointment filled his heart. He even planned to turn around and leave, because the mouse chasing the grasshopper there could not be his apprentice. Until the mouse chased the grasshopper back to the stream where it started. The grasshopper happened to fall on the handle of a dagger inserted in the ground. The rat man looked down. Was he looking at the grasshopper or the dagger? I''m afraid no one has made it clear.
"Doodle!" Grasshopper, call and jump away. The boy''s eyes were still on the empty hilt. No, it''s not empty, is it? I mean, the handle itself is a thing. Rat man, a little astringent, stood up. He slowly reached out his hand and slowly grasped the handle of the knife with only four sharp fingernails and slender twisted fingers. Then a dagger pulled out of the ground. At this moment, something in his eyes seemed to come back to life.
"Ha! Ha I, I am, man
