Chapter 377: Her Ghost Boyfriend (3)
At noon, Bai Yao sat up from the bed. She rubbed her neck and felt a pain in her back.
About two months ago, she often felt more tired after waking up than before going to bed. Although she was a doctor, she could not find a reasonable reason to explain this phenomenon.
Speaking of which, the first thing Bai Yao saw when she opened her eyes was this forest. She had no memory of her past in this world, and even she herself did not know why she could heal and save people.
The barking of a dog outside the house attracted her attention.
Bai Yao opened the window. Garm was sitting outside the fence. Feeling Bai Yao's gaze, he barked twice excitedly.
Bai Yao remembered what she had promised Garm last night. She quickly washed up, picked up two pieces of ribs from the kitchen and ran outside.
Garm wagged his tail wildly and quickly bit the bone that Bai Yao threw to him.
Bai Yao squatted on the ground and touched Garm's head. She held her chin with one hand and said with a smile: "Garm, I want to continue to go to the deepest part of the forest today. Will you come with me?"
Garm raised his head, "Woof!"
Bai Yao took it as a promise. She changed into a more mobile outfit, took a piece of bread for breakfast, and went deep into the forest with Garm.
At the location of Bai Yao's cabin, you can vaguely see the shadow of a tall tower by looking up. She asked the residents in the forest, and they told her that there was a silent tall tower standing in the deepest part of the forest.
No one knows when the tower was built, nor who owns it. All we know is that it is full of thorns and refuses all living things to set foot there, so it is silent, like a place of death.
In fairy tales, there must be a princess living in the tower.
Bai Yao has a hunch that she needs to go there to investigate, but she has tried many times, and every time she tries, various situations always occur on the way, as if there is a force in the dark preventing her from going to the tower.
Today is Bai Yao's thirteenth attempt.
The girl in the blue skirt and the black vicious dog walk together on the forest path. The sunlight shines through the leaves, and the picture is indeed very light and harmonious like a picture book.
Of course, the premise is to ignore the pairs of prying eyes emerging from the darkness.
A gust of wind suddenly blew in the forest.
Garm ran to Bai Yao and shouted to the sky. His body was tense, secretly accumulating strength, ready to rush up and fight the enemy at any time.
The wind was louder, and the leaves fell.
An animal with a special appearance flew from the sky. It had the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and its feathers were golden like the sun. It was majestic and full of oppression.
This is a griffon, a ferocious carnivore.
Bai Yao had never seen it in the forest before, and looking at Garm's alert state, it was obvious that this griffon was an outsider.
The food it was eyeing was naturally the tender white yao.
Bai Yao reacted quickly. She quickly ran behind her and called Garm. In terms of the size difference, she didn't think Garm could beat the griffon.
But the winged griffon moved even faster. It swooped down and showed its sharp claws towards Bai Yao's back.
The shadow at Bai Yao's feet changed. A black shadow stood up. The moment the griffon's claws touched the black shadow, it screamed, quickly retreated, and fell to the ground again. It struggled to get up from the ground, but its body was unstable. A closer look revealed that one of its claws had turned into bones.
Bai Yao also heard the noise. She turned around and saw the griffon flapping its wings in pain and stumbling on the ground.
And in front of her, there was a figure.
This was a man wearing a gray cloak, tall and thin, silent, as if he suddenly appeared in an instant.
The griffon probably realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, so he flapped his wings and flew away. The man in the cloak took a step forward to chase him, but the hurricane caused by the griffon's wings broke a section of the tree at a high altitude, and it fell rapidly.
Bai Yao saw the falling object coming straight towards her, and she subconsciously raised her hand to protect her head.
At the same time, one hand supported the fallen tree.
The expected pain did not come. Bai Yao opened her eyes and saw the chest of the man in the hood. She moved her eyes upwards and saw the man tightly wrapped in the hood, with the hood covering most of his face.
And under the hood, his face could not be seen.
All she could see was a dark mass. Even his hands that were holding the tree, the five fingers and the back of his hands were all dark.
He seemed to be a figure made of darkness, hidden under the gray hood, and the darkness was boundless.
And now, a dark red light appeared faintly around him, and soon disappeared.
Bai Yao calmed down and said, "Thank you."
He seemed a little uneasy, lowered his head, and the trees in his hands turned into ashes bit by bit, no longer a threat. He took back his hands, but didn't know how to put them, and the whole figure seemed very restrained.
Bai Yao said again: "I haven't seen you in the forest before, are you also a resident here?"
After a while, he nodded, as if he was worried that she would be afraid of his existence, he raised his hand and pulled his hood lower, trying to cover the dark self under the hood.
Bai Yao had seen all kinds of strange creatures in the forest, so she didn't think he was scary. She noticed a tear on his hood and said, "Your clothes are torn."
He only noticed it after she reminded him. He lowered his head and looked at the corner of his clothes. He grabbed his clothes a little embarrassedly.
Bai Yao raised her face and smiled, "Let's go to my house!"
He was stunned.
Bai Yao was a man of action. Because of today's accident, she decided to give up looking for the tower deep in the forest for the time being, and returned to the cabin with her husband who was kind enough to help her.
Garm lay on the floor of the cabin, eating the food prepared by Bai Yao, looking up at the hooded man sitting on the sofa, and then looking at Bai Yao who was looking for something. His brain capacity was probably not enough to support him thinking about something too complicated, so he lowered his head and continued to eat.
Bai Yao found the sewing kit, and she sat down next to the silent hooded man. The distance was too close, and he grabbed the corner of his clothes and did not dare to look up.
Bai Yao was threading the needle and didn't notice his shyness. Her eyes were good enough. After a while, she had threaded the needle, lifted the corner of his clothes, and threaded the needle through the torn part of the awning.
Outside the wooden house, there were many peeping eyes squatting in the bushes.
One Dingle said: "She took him home."
