Today, the mermaids traded another batch of mermaid silk, but there was a problem during the exchange. Qinglu had to quickly write the documents and hurried to the transaction site to deal with the mermaid silk issue.
By the time he finished tidying up, it was already very late, but Qinglu didn't care about it. He walked slowly along the mountain road behind the mountain towards home in human form.
His home is at the top of the mountain, and he is the only one living there. There are two roads leading to the top of the mountain, a big road and a small road. Usually, when his tribesmen need to find him for something, they will take the big road or fly directly up the mountain, but Qinglu likes the quietness of the mountain road in the back mountain, and when he is alone, he always walks home quietly along this road.
He originally thought that today would be just an ordinary journey home, but when he was almost halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard soft sobs on this usually quiet road.
The crying sounded faint, coupled with the rustling sound of leaves, and it sounded very strange.
Qinglu paused for a moment, then continued walking forward. He remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.
After walking a distance, the source of the crying was revealed. It looked like a small female, very white and cute. She was sitting curled up under the cliff, silently shedding tears and stuffing food into her mouth.
Qinglu couldn't move his feet anymore, and his expressionless face changed, filled with surprise.
For a moment, Qinglu even thought that he was hallucinating because he was too tired.
How come a beautiful young female suddenly appeared on his way home? Who is she, why is she here, and who brought her here?
More importantly, why was the little female crying? What had happened to her? Why was she so sad? Had someone bullied her? But in the Orc Continent, females were so precious, and such a beautiful one at that. How could anyone have the heart to hurt her?
Countless questions raced through Qinglu's mind, but no one could answer them. Eventually, all these questions drifted away, leaving only one: Why was she crying? What was going on?
Qinglu's mind was unusually dull. He subconsciously took a step forward, but stepped on a dry branch, making a crackling sound that was particularly clear in the darkness.
Yu Wanwan, who was venting her emotions over there, heard the sound and looked over subconsciously, but all she saw was empty, with only the occasional sound of a bird flying by.
What's going on? Is that the sound of a bird flying by?
But it was still a little scary being alone in an unfamiliar environment in the middle of the night.
I didn’t think about it any further, as it was already dark.
She wiped away her tears, tidied herself up briefly, and left quickly.
At first, her steps were normal, but the further she walked, the more fear she felt. Yu Wanwan subconsciously quickened her pace and even started running.
As for Qinglu, his body was pressed tightly against the mountain wall, his breathing became heavier, and his heart was beating violently.
He didn't know why he was hiding or why his emotions changed so much.
This female appeared here inexplicably, so he should have gone up to ask her. Maybe she came to participate in the blessing ceremony and accidentally got lost.
If he hadn't dodged just now, I would have been able to ask him.
But when she looked over, Qinglu suddenly worried that his sudden appearance would scare her, so he subconsciously hid himself.
Qinglu placed his hand on his chest to calm his heartbeat.
His ears moved, and he felt as if a female was coming.
Qinglu was shocked. He was not prepared at all for facing this female. How should he start? Should he introduce himself first or ask her why she was there?
If she asks me who I am, how should I answer?
Also, he's been busy all day and isn't feeling well.
Thinking of this, by the time Qinglu reacted, he had already landed lightly on a higher mountain wall and hidden himself.
He lowered his head slightly, and the female just passed by his feet, then walked down the mountain without looking back.
"wait......"
As soon as he uttered a word, the female suddenly ran away as if she had suffered some kind of stimulation, and disappeared in a moment.
What happened? Did she get scared?
Qinglu waited for a while until the female figure disappeared from sight before falling back to the ground.
He crossed his hands in his sleeves, his eyes showing an ambiguous expression.
......
When Yu Wanwan returned, it was completely dark. By the time she returned to the cave, the females had all fallen asleep, and her bed was still the same as when she left. It seemed that no female had touched her things since then.
Yu Wanwan yawned and lay down on the bed.
The next day after class, Yu Wanwan subconsciously walked towards the quiet place where she was suitable for being alone yesterday.
Last night it was dark and windy, and I could only see some vague shadows. Now that it is daytime, the whole scene can be seen.
It turns out that this location is specifically halfway up a mountain. It looks uninhabited and very quiet.
However, the scenery here is pleasant, with a very light breeze and a feeling of quiet time.
Yu Wanwan took a deep breath and felt much more refreshed both physically and mentally.
She planned to find the place where she sat yesterday to rest, but she found several fruits on the ground there.
She subconsciously looked around, but it was quiet all around, and she was the only one there.
Who put this here? Or did someone accidentally lose it?
Yu Wanwan couldn't figure it out, so she didn't touch it and moved away silently.
