Chapter 173 Hidden Truth



Sure enough, there was a hidden secret. Xiao He was actually sent into the mountains by the villagers. No wonder he was hiding and didn't want to come out...

But why would the villagers send a seven-year-old child to such a desolate mountain? What good could this do?

Looking at the silently crying river and then at the angry black wolf, Hua Shi swallowed back the question that was about to come to his mind.

This wasn't the time to ask questions. She was afraid that if she continued asking, Black Wolf, who had just about let her go, would become furious and kill her again...

After a long while, Xiao He calmed down, wiped his red eyes, looked at Hua Shi, and repeated, "Go quickly. I won't go back to the village with you. It's not my home anymore. I can never go back."

I was young at the time and didn’t understand what it meant, but now I recall it little by little…

It was his mother who secretly gave him drugs, knocked him unconscious, and then... sent him to the mountains, leaving him to fend for himself.

No wonder his mother never gave him such good food at that time, including fish, meat, and his favorite fried meat pie...all of which were given to him because they wanted to send him to death.

Anyway, now, in everyone's eyes, he has been dead for several years, so there is no need to go back...

For a moment, because of the young boy's low mood, the already tense atmosphere became even more tense.

Hua Shi clasped his hands and stood there without moving.

If only Xie Mingchi were here right now... he should explain it to her clearly sooner rather than later! He always says half of what he wants to say and leaves the other half unsaid, causing her to misunderstand!

She also didn't know that there was a secret hidden in this that could not be mentioned...

Who knew...it was actually sent into the mountains by the villagers!

It was also her fault for not paying close attention. When she mentioned this matter, the villagers she was talking to were a little strange. She didn't pay attention at the time, let alone notice...

Oh, forget it.

At the moment, seeing Heilang's hostile look and Xiaohe's resolute attitude, she had no way to persuade them.

but……

After the atmosphere became less tense, Xiaohe climbed back onto the black wolf's back. The black wolf snorted coldly at her and turned to leave.

It looked like if she didn't leave, they would leave on their own...

"Wait." Hua Shi raised his hand and stopped the man and the wolf.

The little boy on the wolf's back arched his back and buried his head in wiping his wet eyes. When he heard her words, he didn't turn his head and seemed to have no intention of paying attention to her.

The memories of the past that were brought back to him made him feel disgusted unconsciously...

The black wolf's dark green eyes looked towards her sinisterly.

Under the sight of the black wolf, Hua Shi turned around, stood on tiptoe, picked a large leaf, folded it into a square leaf box in a few seconds, and filled it with water from the spring.

The black wolf was watching her every move.

At first, he didn't understand what she was going to do, until he smelled the sweet fragrance in the air, and his eyes widened.

At the same time, there is also a hint of uncertainty and vigilance...

What was she doing? What was she putting in that leafy box? Was she giving it something to drink? Was she really giving it something to drink? Wouldn't it be poisonous? Wasn't it really poisonous?!

The little thoughts that Black Wolf had just immersed himself in were rushed into his nostrils along with the irresistible smell, and his settled thoughts also became confused and messy.

"W-What are you going to do?"

Looking at the flowers, holding the small bucket of water, the black wolf approached step by step, pretending to be calm, but the pause in his voice revealed his panic.

Its first instinct was always right. When it was hiding in the dark, it had sensed something hidden on her body. Just smelling it from a distance, it had become somewhat confused. Now, the sweet scent that filled its nose, without any shielding, rushed towards it unscrupulously...

The black wolf almost couldn't help himself and pounced on Hua Shi.

Its pretended calmness caught Hua Shi's eyes exactly.

For some reason, it seems that these big monsters are more unable to resist the... uh... charm of the spring water than ordinary animals like Eleven and Xiao Hei?

I wonder if it's because the spring water contains a scent that only spirits can smell, or perhaps it's because it only has an effect on spirits...

After sorting things out, Hua Shi said forget it, but he still wanted to take practical action to get the answer.

She coughed lightly, stood not far from Black Wolf, and said, "How about we make a deal?"

Black Wolf stared wide-eyed, feigning composure. "What deal? Humph, don't think I don't know that humans can't be trusted..."

Hua Shi nodded. "Although it's a little unbelievable, it's not necessarily completely unbelievable. At least it's something blessed by the mountain god... You should believe it, right?"

After hearing this, Heilang stared at her without saying a word.

Hua Shi thought about it, then suddenly raised his hand and took a big gulp of the spring water wrapped in leaves in front of Heilang.

He swallowed it with a gulp, then looked at the latter with his eyes wide open, as if he was shocked by her sudden action.

"It's definitely not poisonous, don't worry." Hua Shi promised.

Black Wolf relaxed his tense eyes, drooped his eyelids, and said nothing.

Hua Shi knew that it had agreed, so he said, "I can give you a drink..."

She raised the spring water in her hand, and the black wolf stared at her and slid along.

"As long as I'm in the mountains, you can come to me and drink as much as you want, but I have one condition."

Heilang didn't know how many times his eyes had widened, especially after hearing the words, "Drink as much as you want", the desire in his eyes was about to turn into reality.

Oh no, I’ve really been bewitched... Damn it!

"What conditions?" Black Wolf asked in a rough voice.

"The condition is..."
