shy?

The strange eagle was leaning its head on its shoulder in the grass nest, tucking one foot back into its feathers, and standing on one foot.

While sleeping soundly, misty shouts came from around.

"Brother Eagle—"

It seems that I heard that human voice...

Strange Eagle woke up from sleep, looked around with wide yellow eyes, but found nothing unusual.

dreaming?The sleepy bug swept over again, its eyelids drooped and it was about to sleep for a while, but it heard it again.

"Little Chirp?" Strange Eagle trembled all over.

This time it heard clearly, the sound was coming from overhead.

It raised its head, and saw a black shadow hovering in the sky, accompanied by the faint morning light. When it looked intently, it turned out to be that human being.

I haven't seen him for a while, how could he fly?

Strange Eagle was a little confused.But what made it more concerned was the word "Little Chirp" that came out of his mouth.

Extra... makes it feel intimate and familiar.A vague scene appeared in my mind, but it was not clear like a layer of fog.

After Lu Man landed, he retracted his bat wings.The strange eagle flapped its wings, smoothed its sleepy feathers, and stayed there hesitantly and vigilantly, staring at Lu Man intently.

"I'm here to fulfill the promise."

Lu Man raised his hand to show that he was not malicious, and slowly approached the strange eagle.

He rummaged through his pocket and took out a photo, which was given to him by Wan Qiyun before, and Lu Man always carried it with him every time he went out.

Lu Man held up the photo and showed it to the Strange Eagle. It looked down at the photo, its big eyes turned into cross-eyed.

Looking at the rough-faced man, the girl with a bright smile, and the mighty eagle in the photo, the eagle whispered softly, and his eyes were unconsciously filled with tenderness.

"This eagle should be you, right?" Observing the strange eagle's expression, Lu Man continued.

"I found Wan Jingbang's family. Wan Qiyun, she has now become a very powerful team Wan in Harbor District 3. She is completely different from the little girl in the photo. You will definitely not recognize her...Remember what?"

Strange Eagle was stunned for a while, then shook his head.The memory is still vague, but it is very familiar and ready to come out.

But it can feel that there will be the answer it wants to find in the place and person that Lu Man mentioned.

If you can see her with your own eyes and hear her speak with your own ears, maybe you will know.

Lu Man seemed to understand what it was thinking, put the photo on the ground, and took two steps back.

"I promised you to help Wan Jingbang return to his homeland and help you retrieve your memory. Both of these things are related to Wan Qiyun."

"I've already told her that I will bring her to you when I have a chance later."

The strange eagle jumped a few steps forward, gently picked up the small photo with its beak, and used its claws to dig open the grass nest, and buried it with the skeleton, notebook, half nameplate, and stone tablet underneath.

"I'm here this time, and I want to find you something else."

"I need your help." After it buried everything, Lu Man looked at it sincerely.

Strange Eagle was not as vigilant as before, tilting his head and waiting for Lu Man's next words.

"I need some of your blood."

Lu Man and the strange eagle stared wide-eyed. Just when Lu Man thought it didn't understand and wanted to repeat it again, he saw the strange eagle suddenly raised its claws towards him.

The cold light flickered, piercing the flesh, Lu Man opened his eyes wide, and saw the strange eagle raised its claws and greeted itself, and blood dripped on the grass nest in an instant.

It's really too sudden to come without even saying hello... Lu Man didn't bring a bottle with him, and he wanted to find a stone from around to grind it into a bowl-shaped container, but he didn't expect the strange eagle to do it so neatly.

He could only gather his hands into a small bowl to catch the blood dripping from the Eagle Monster.

Soon, the bright red warm blood pooled into a small lake in his palm, and the wound on the strange eagle healed quickly.

Lu Man held the eagle's blood in his palm, hesitating for a moment whether to just carry it back to the village and drink it, or just drink it here.

To acquire the eagle monster's ability before tomorrow's departure, although bats can also fly, the flat and open back of the eagle when flying, the sharp eyesight to lock the prey in the sky, and the sharp claws that are good at grasping are the most important things for him so far. urgently needed.

There is Lu Man watching over the village, no problem.What's more, he will fall into a deep sleep for a short time after drinking the blood, even if he is in danger, he will be useless.

Ingesting strange blood four times before, the deep sleep time was shortened each time, from three days to half a day.

This is the fifth time.If there is no accident, he will be able to wake up and return to the village at noon today at the latest.

Besides, Eagle Monster still expects him to bring Wan Qiyun here, so he will definitely protect himself.

Then here it is.

"Do you mind if I sleep here?"

Strange Eagle nodded because he didn't know.Sleep, it's not like I haven't slept before.

Lu Man put his hand close to his lips, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, unstoppable blood slipped down his arm and soaked into the black short sleeve.

Just after drinking, the familiar feeling of blood boiling swept over.

He sat down, lay on his back on the grass nest, and quickly closed his eyes, breathing evenly and gently.

"Brother, it's lunch time! It's time to get up!"

After noon, Lu Xiaoan went to knock on the door of Lu Man's room, but there was no response from inside.

"Mom—has my brother left the room today?" Lu Xiaoan yelled loudly.

Aunt Lu, who was drying the bedding in the yard, responded, "No? I've been in the yard all morning, and I haven't seen him come down."

"Keep your voice down, don't bother your brother, doesn't it mean that he may be more lethargic during the recovery period."

"Oh." Lu Xiaoan was sullenly about to turn around and leave, but he put his ear to the door without giving up, but there was no sound from inside.

He ran downstairs and said in a low voice: "My brother's house is silent, so he won't run away again?"

Aunt Lu looked up at the window of Lu Man's room on the second floor. The window was open, and the wind blew the window inside the house.

Her expression gradually became serious, she left the work at hand, and ran upstairs in three steps at a time.

Aunt Lu knocked on the door of Lu Man's room: "Xiao Man, are you awake?"

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from inside.Aunt Lu and Lu Xiaoan looked at each other, Aunt Lu turned the handle of the door, carefully pushed the door open, and poked her head out through the crack.

The quilt on the bed was bulging, obviously someone was there.

Aunt Lu heaved a sigh of relief, and Lu Xiaoan's head poked out from underneath, his expression still dignified: "Mom, do you think my brother won't get sick? Why isn't he moving..."

This is indeed a bit strange, even if Lu Man usually fell asleep, he would respond when he heard them calling him, only when he was in a coma with a fever before would he be as silent as he is now.

Aunt Lu pushed open the door anxiously, walked towards Lu Man's bed, and saw Lu Man lying on her back in a good sleeping position, with two hands protruding and grabbing the corner of the quilt, with half of her face hidden under the quilt.

Aunt Lu put her hand on her forehead to check the temperature on Lu Man's forehead. The temperature was normal, not hot, and she didn't have a fever.

His eyes were closed, his breathing was even and gentle, and he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

"Go out, don't disturb his sleep." Aunt Lu mouthed, she was holding Lu Xiaoan's shoulder and was about to take it out when she heard Lu Man's voice from the other side of the bed.

"I didn't wake up."

The two who were about to leave shook their heads, and when they turned around, they saw Lu Man still had his eyes closed.

Was it his brother who was talking just now?Lu Xiaoan looked confused.

"I'm sleepy."

Another sound came from the other side of the bed. The boy lying on the bed still had his eyes closed, his lips moving under the quilt, and the sound was muffled.

Is this talking in your sleep or what?

"It can't be a low fever..." Aunt Lu murmured to herself.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoan focused his gaze on Lu Man with some worry.

Why does it feel like his brother's face is... a little smaller?By accident, Lu Xiaoan stretched out his hand, trying to pinch the corner of the quilt and pull it down a little.

Aunt Lu stopped Lu Xiaoan's movements in time, she pushed Lu Xiaoan's shoulder, led him out of the room, turned around and closed the door softly.

Lu slowly opened his eyes while he was asleep in the room.

It was so dangerous, he was a little stiff all over.Shouldn't there be any stuffing?

"I'll go to the infirmary to get something, Xiao An, you should go to the square to have lunch first."

"Ok."

Lu Xiaoan stayed alone a little depressed, poking the rice in the bowl with a spoon.

"Lu Xiaoan, why are you here alone?" Zheng Qingqing noticed that Lu Xiaoan was sitting alone in a corner, and went up to comfort his friends enthusiastically, "Where are Aunt Lu and brother Lu?"

"My mother has gone to the entrance of the village, and my brother is still sleeping."

Zheng Qingqing came closer, only to realize that he had stirred up the sauerkraut in the bowl.

"Hey, you eat so disgustingly!"

"Can this be my fault? I don't want to eat sauerkraut..." Lu Xiaoan muttered, thinking that if Lu Man was here, he could secretly throw all the nasty sauerkraut to him.

"Right, when will you arrange a role for me? I have a puppet too!"

Zheng Qingqing took out the little puppet of Zheng Qingqing that she had held up all night from her pocket, and dangled it in front of Lu Xiaoan.

"Then what do you want to be?" Lu Xiaoan dug another spoonful of rice without interest.

"I want to be a heroine! The kind who wields a sword, who is cool and powerful!"

"Okay, I remembered, is there any other request?" Lu Xiaoan nodded.

"By the way, Wan'er also wants to install a role."

"What does she want to be?"

"She said she wanted to be a dumb girl whose face was disfigured and her voice was disfigured." Lu Xiaoan almost spit out a mouthful of rice.

Zheng Qingqing ignored him and continued: "Weapons use needles. They are both doctors and poisoners. They can save people and kill people without knowing it. How about us two sisters who spend time in the rivers and lakes!"

"Ahem..." Rice grains stuck in his throat, and he coughed violently for a while.

As expected of Lin Wan'er who almost stole her job, her imagination is rich enough!

Zheng Qingqing patted him on the back vigorously, almost being patted so hard that he couldn't bring himself up.

As expected of the Zheng family, they are quite strong!Zheng Qingqing shouldn't use a sword, but should use a big knife or a meteor hammer, right?

When Lu Xiaoan regained his composure and was about to reply, suddenly several whistles with different rhythms came from the direction of the distant swamp, and the warning lights at the entrance of the village turned on.

Everyone was eating and chatting happily, but suddenly the harmony was broken, and a cold and heavy atmosphere enveloped them.

"Retreat to the shelter!"

Everyone didn't even care about food, they threw down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, and rushed towards the shelter like a tide.A long queue soon formed in front of the cellar door.

Lu Xiaoan was being pushed and shoved by the crowd to go there, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Lu Xiaoan, where are you going?" Zheng Qingqing turned her head and there was no sign of her little friend.

"My brother is still at home!" Lu Xiaoan ran against the crowd without looking back, avoiding the overwhelming crowd, and ran towards home.

He knew that Lu Man usually was very powerful, and he would kill monsters without mercy.

But that was when he was awake.

Lu Man is very fragile when he has a fever, and his brother had been bedridden with a fever a few times before... If Lu Man ran into a monster while he was sleeping with a fever, it would be terrible!

On the way, many adults saw him running back with a child, and stretched out their hands to stop him, but he dodged like a loach.

In the end he was grabbed by the collar by someone.

"Lu Xiaoan, didn't you hear the whistle? Hurry to the shelter." Turning around, it was Zheng Qingmiao.

It was rare for him, who was always easy-going and honest, to show a serious expression at this time.

"But...my brother is still at home. He may be sick, he has been sleeping, and he can't wake up even if he screams." Lu Xiaoan stamped his feet anxiously.

"You go to take refuge, and I will bring him here."

The rest of the hunting team was ready and heading towards the swamp.

"Go back quickly." Zheng Qingmiao patted him on the shoulder and told him to go back quickly.Lu Xiaoan had no choice but to walk back obediently, looking back to see if Zheng Qingmiao had brought Lu Man over.

After walking back, Lu Xiaoan realized that the cellar door of the shelter had been closed.

He patted his head in frustration, and found a big rock nearby to hide.It's better to stay here for a while, and when my brother comes, they will go in together.

"Why did you come here?" Zhang Qingyan stood by the cave holding a whip, and turned her head to look at Zheng Qingmiao who had come late.

"I'm looking for Xiaoman...but he's not here." Zheng Qingmiao just ran to Lu Man's house, when he pushed open the door of Lu Man's room, the quilt on the bed was lifted, and Lu Man was nowhere to be seen.

There is still temperature on the bed, it should not be long after leaving.Zheng Qingmiao searched around again but couldn't find anyone, so she hurried over.

"How is the current situation?"

"Bricks and rebar are loosening. I'm worried... about to come out."

Just as Zhang Qingyan was speaking, the brick in front of them shook again, as if something was about to move inside.

Gray Ball grinned at the things in the cave, and let out a low, threatening sound from his throat.

The people of the hunting team gathered around the cave, posing in a fighting posture as if they were facing an enemy, or holding guns or bows, and aimed at the cave one after another.

Sudden, sudden, sudden.

They could hear the sound of monsters hitting bricks below, and the steel bars that had been stuck in the ground came out of the soil with the movement.

"Swipe—" After a moment, his eyes suddenly flickered.

There was a gap in the bricks in front of him, and the monster broke free and ran out.

But what about monsters?

They looked left and right but did not see the shadow of the monster. Liu Kuangye suddenly realized that there was a shadow covering him in the midday sun.

"In the air! Get out of the way!"

Liu Kuangye quickly rolled to the side, and the wind swept by, splashing sand and gravel on the ground where he was standing.

The slender tentacles on the monster's head swayed, and its mouthparts and jaws bit a stone, crushing it like pincers.

Liu Kuangye got up quickly, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted quickly, what was bitten by the monster would not be a stone, but his head.

This monster was not big in size. Compared with the spider monster they had besieged and suppressed before, it was much smaller in size, only one person tall.

The crowd was fearless and surrounded them with weapons in their hands. The first arrow flew over, but was bounced off by its metallic shell.

Arrows rained down on the monster.

Zhang Qingyan frowned as she looked at the monster's exceptionally well-developed hind limbs.

"Be careful, it's going to—"

Take off.

Everyone raised their heads and stared at the monster that was almost stuck in the air.Its figure briefly blocked the sun, and then jumped towards the direction of the village square.

Zheng Qingmiao was the first to react.

"Chase!"

Most of the people held weapons and chased after the jumping monsters, while some people and the gray ball stayed by the side of the cave, lest new monsters come out when they were chasing and overwhelmed.

Lu Xiaoan waited for a long time, but there was no one around.Neither Zheng Qingmiao nor Lu Man came over.

What sound seemed to be coming from the swamp?

Curiously, he scratched the edge of the stone and poked his head out.

Suddenly someone patted on the shoulder, Lu Xiaoan trembled and almost jumped up, but was held down by the person behind him.Turning around, I saw his mother holding back her anger, gnashing her teeth and staring at him.

"Lu, Xiao, An! Why are you staying outside if you don't go in the shelter? Don't die!"

In the shelter, Zheng Qingqing heard that Lu Xiaoan hadn't come in yet, she searched inside several times, almost went crazy, ran out and saw that unlucky child was hiding behind a stone and poking his head out.

"It hurts, it hurts...Mom..." Lu Xiaoan walked towards the refuge with his ear pulled, "My brother hasn't—"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoan's eyes narrowed, and he noticed a black shadow floating in the air, getting closer and closer to them.

"Get out of the way!" Zheng Qingmiao, who was running with all his strength at the end of his sight, shouted out of breath.

Lu Xiaoan threw himself into Aunt Lu's arms, knocking her back a few steps.

"Boom—" The monster landed on the place where they were just standing, splashing smoke and dust, which made Lu Xiaoan get goosebumps all over his body.

Aunt Lu had already reacted, facing the monster, she quietly moved Lu Xiaoan behind her.

The compound eyes of the monster in front of him gleamed coldly under the sun, as if it had simply locked on to its prey, and its wings vibrated and made noisy noises.

"Run." His mother's back blocked his sight, and Lu Xiaoan could only hear her whisper.

"Run to the refuge." The door of the refuge not far away has been opened, and the people inside beckon them to come quickly.

"I don't..." Lu Xiaoan tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes.

"Go, I'll follow after a while."

They retreated a little bit, and the monster approached a little bit.Aunt Lu watched the mouthparts of the monster in front of her keep opening and closing.

It's too late, it's too close, at least she can still be used as a human shield, so that Lu Xiaoan can run away in time.

What is "I will follow up later", how can Lu Xiaoan not know?This is obviously the most common thing in stories that people say before dying alone!

"Let's go together." Tears welled up in Lu Xiaoan's eyes, but he still clung tightly to his mother's clothes.

Just as they were struggling, a black shadow flashed past, and there was another bang in front, interrupting the humming of the monster's wings.

Aunt Lu was stunned for a while, then took Lu Xiaoan's hand, and the two turned around and ran away from the most dangerous area together in the opposite direction.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?Lu Xiaoan was still a little confused, so when he turned around, he saw Lu Man stepping on the monster's head, trampling him into the ground.

It turned out that he wanted to make room for his brother.

Before getting into the refuge, Lu Xiaoan turned his head to take a last look. His brother was still wearing the familiar bear pajamas.

It's just... when did the pajamas become so big?All dragged to the ground.

When Zheng Qingmiao and the others arrived, the battle ahead had already ended.The monster was torn in half down the middle.

With his back turned to them, Lu Ran slowly turned his head when he heard the movement.

"Xiaoman?" Zheng Qingmiao asked hesitantly.

The Lu Man in front of me felt a little different, feeling... extraordinarily immature?

The stump of the monster he was holding fell to the ground with a thud, his hand dropped, and the sleeve slid down to cover his fingertips.

Lu Man was expressionless at first, but after being surrounded by everyone, he suddenly became a little flustered.

He ran a few steps away from the crowd.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the hem of the overly long pajama pants blocked his steps.

He slapped his face to the ground.

Um?Wrestling!

Zheng Qingmiao was about to go over to help him, when he suddenly got up from the ground again.

Eh?ran away?

Everyone watched his back quickly shrink into a small dot.

"What's wrong with him?" Zheng Qingmiao was at a loss.

He obviously killed the monster to protect everyone, but ran away in a panic as if he had done something wrong.

"Shy?" Liu Kuangye was confused, "It feels weird."

"Let's clean up the monster's corpse first." Zhang Qingyan suggested first.

After a while, after they threw the monster's body into the incinerator, another familiar voice came from not far away.

Lu Man greeted them with a smile on his face: "Brother Qingmiao, what are you all doing here?"
