Chapter 11 Journey (1)
Although its voice was obscure and scary, Lynn could be sure that what it called just now was his own name.
Lynn stood up from the bed.
"Lyn." The lizard continued calling Lynn's name.
Seeing Lynn's shocked and dignified expression, the corners of the lizard's lips parted slowly, as if laughing silently.
Lin En can be sure that he saw an emotion called happiness on the face of this lizard.
Like a child who has found a toy.
"Lynn."
"Lynn."
"Lynn."
Crawling outside the window, this lizard-like monster kept calling Lynn's name repeatedly.
This lizard stayed up most of the night, crawled to his window and called his name.
The sound of the window opening came from the next door.
Immediately afterwards, Lynn saw the giant lizard's pupils shrink suddenly, and the next moment its head quickly disappeared out of the window.
Only the sound of paw prints remained.
Lin En got up and went to the window, the window was empty, and there was no trace of the lizard.
The sound of opening the window just now came from the teacher's room next door.
It could be seen that it was afraid of Angelet.
Is this huge, invisible lizard monster a monster raised by the teacher?
Lin En remembers saying in his notes that many wizards have a hobby of raising monsters.
There are also some wizards who make alchemy puppets themselves, or raise alien servants.
In wizards’ experiments, these servants and pets can sometimes help a lot, and they themselves are sometimes excellent experimental materials.
The lizard potion that caused Lauren to mutate, perhaps some of its ingredients are related to this invisible lizard monster.
The next day Lynn was woken up very early by the movement outside.
"Oh, my God, what is this on the wall, Dad, come and see."
A boy's surprised voice came from downstairs.
Soon thereafter, a man's voice of exclamation came from downstairs.
Lin En put on his coat, fastened the buttons, put on the cowhide boots and went downstairs.
"Guest, you are awake."
A faint milky fragrance wafted over, and a slightly bloated woman in a light red dress passed by holding a milk glass.
Lin En walked outside the farm house, and there were two men, one big and one small, standing in the yard.
It was a little dark yesterday, and I couldn't see the man's specific appearance clearly. Now I can see it more clearly during the day.
The man has curly brown hair, a light yellow turtleneck sweater inside, a small jacket on the outside, slim jeans and long boots.
The boy next to him should be his child. He looks only about eleven or twelve years old. His cheeks are covered with freckles, but his physique is quite strong.
Looking along the line of sight of the two, Lynn found that the outer wall was covered with shocking claw marks.
These traces looked terrifying, like some kind of beast.
Lynn probably knows what it is.
Judging from the length and distance between the claw marks, this monster is definitely not small.
"No wonder I found out that the sweet potato was not in the right state this morning." Tang Jide said, "I have been hiding in the kennel, and I can't scream."
Compared to a simple son, Tang Jide thought of more.
Something that didn’t appear before, this horrible thing happened after the two travelers came to rest at their home last night, and the location of the claw marks was the closest to the guest’s room.
Although he couldn't confirm whether he had anything to do with Lynn or the others, he still felt that the two guests should be sent away as soon as possible.
Don Jide took a plate of sliced bread and hot fresh milk from the kitchen, and brought the food to the stable.
"Old Kim, have some breakfast."
Old Kim rubbed his eyes.
"Why are you so generous today, Grandet?" Old Kim was not polite. Although he had a rest in the carriage all night and was still wearing a blanket, he was still a bit cold.
Drinking a cup of warm hot milk at this moment is just the most comfortable thing.
"What are the origins of those two guests?" Tang Jide asked quietly.
"I don't know, you know that the most taboo thing in my line of work is to inquire about the origins of customers." Old Kim said vaguely, biting a piece of bread in his mouth.
Seeing Tang Jide frowned and turned away with a lot of thought, Old Kim was clear in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
How could he not know that these two guests were a little weird. Yesterday, when the tall weirdo dressed like his own old curtain approached, Lily and Jindou kept barking.
Lily and Jindou have been with him for almost ten years, and they are very humane, even if they are strong and fierce, they will not be so nervous.
unless
But it doesn't have much to do with him, he doesn't plan to know too much, he is just an old groom who earns money to support his family.
It is his own task to send them to Bangor Port, and other things have nothing to do with him.
As long as you don't ask around and don't worry about things, your own safety will not be a problem.
After breakfast, Lynn was about to leave.
"Hey, are you a guest from afar?"
A voice came from behind.
Ling En turned around and saw the little boy standing behind him, staring at him intently.
Lynn smiled, "That's right."
The place where I first fled was in the north.
It is quite far from here, at least Lynn can believe that many people, many people living here, may have never left such a far place in their entire lives.
"Then can you tell me about your place?" The little boy's eyes lit up.
Lin En actually doesn’t remember much. After all, not long after the crossing, plagues and wars broke out, and because of the drought, the price of food skyrocketed.
If it is not that they cannot survive, the people in their hometown will not flee.
Lin En thought for a while, "Actually, there is not much difference from yours, but our dialect is somewhat different from your language here."
"Oh."
The little boy's eyes dimmed, as if he had lost his light.
"However, something miraculous happened on my way to escape. When we passed a small village, a plague broke out in the village, and many people in the village died."
The boy was obviously afraid of the word death, but he still stared at Lynn intently. He was too curious about the story Lynn told.
After all, he has never left his hometown since he was born.
The furthest place he went was a town more than 20 miles away. His father bought him a pair of brand new cowboy hats. He was reluctant to wear them when doing farm work, and would only take out the hats during festivals.
"There were no living people in that village. At that time, some people wanted to search the village to see if they could find some food, or to stay overnight in the house, but in the middle of the night, some people discovered that many monsters rushed out from the back mountain of the village. .
Those monsters look terrifying, they look like they were stitched by many corpses, they have five heads and ten hands, they are as fat as a ball, and there are many stitches on their bodies. "
Lynn said.
The boy swallowed.
This is too scary, just like the horror stories grown-ups tell.
And it was experienced by others.
Looking at the nervous and frightened expression of the little boy, he might have a nightmare tonight.
"Hahahaha." Seeing the scared look of the little boy, Lynn couldn't help chuckling, "Don't worry, I lied to you, it's not that scary."
The little boy heaved a sigh of relief with his reddened face because of nervousness, "Well, the story you told is really terrible. I thought there really was such a monster."
"It's not as exaggerated as five heads and ten hands, but only three heads and five hands." Lynn said.
The boy's face stiffened instantly after he breathed a sigh of relief.
