The Divine Hunter Chapter 11: 3 wishes

North of Hongshan Town.

The river washes the dark ancient waterwheel, and the wheel slowly rotates at a speed of twelve times a minute. The "creaking" sound of wood friction is obscured by the sound of rushing water, and the water droplets are filled into the air by the waterwheel and then sprinkled. , reflecting golden light in the sunset.

Roy was immersed in knee-deep dandelions, horsetail grass and foxtail grass beside the waterwheel.

"The first wish...I want to catch six butterflies, three blue butterflies, three monarch butterflies..."

What a little girl.

Roy couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, a dignified demon hunter actually went to a wilderness mountain village to play with a girl and help her catch butterflies.

Even in Gawain's house, he had never played such a childish game. If his brothers found out, he would not laugh out loud.

However, this simple wish is a bit boring, and it is better than murder and arson.

Roy turned on his demon hunter senses and stared at the dense paths with heterochromatic pupils. Even if his skills were far superior to ordinary people, he still had to have something to catch the butterfly.

He wandered around here for an unknown amount of time without seeing a single butterfly.

Not far behind him, Xue Rui, who was blond and wearing a light yellow floral skirt, was waving a butterfly net, with dimples on her white face, happily flapping butterflies in the grass.

From time to time, laughter sounded as crisp as silver bells.

The sun shone on her calves and arms, revealing a large area of ​​crystal white skin.

Roy glanced at her with admiration from time to time,

"Golden Eyes, over there!"

Xue Rui suddenly shouted, waving the butterfly net and pointed it in front of Roy. The latter took a closer look and saw a palm-sized emperor butterfly with an orange body and black vertical bars on its wings. A thistle bush danced lively.

It landed on a lavender flower, and then flew gracefully to another flower, as if saying hello to them.

Roy bent over and bent his knees, like a cat lurking in the grass, ready to launch a sneak attack, while Xuerui followed him carefully on tiptoes, her golden ponytail touching the back of his neck from time to time, exuding It emits a light and pleasant fragrance.

One step, two steps, three steps!

Wow—

Less than half a meter away from the butterfly, the girl jumped forward like a rabbit. With a wave of the butterfly net, the emperor butterfly escaped from the net like foam floating on the water and was blown away by the strong wind. .

Xue Rui couldn't help but curled her lips sadly.

Then another net was swung away from her, so fast that it almost left an afterimage in mid-air.

The girl's eyes were filled with flowers.

She saw the witcher with the butterfly in the net and winked at her.

"Haha, Brother Jinyan, you are so awesome!" Xuerui happily spun around in a circle, holding a cage and carefully putting the trophies in it.

The smile is as bright as that of a child who has received his favorite toy.

"Shall we continue?"

"Yeah!"

I don’t know how long it took.

The sunset is still brilliant in the sky.

The waterwheel by the stream went round and round.

The thistle bushes were filled with laughter and laughter.

Two figures, one large and one small, sat side by side under the waterwheel. The orange sunset fell on their shoulders, covering them with a golden coat. Their two pairs of feet floated gently in the river like fish tails. Swing and feel the soft and cool water waves.

"Thank you, Brother Jinyan, I haven't had such a good time in a long time." A few beads of sweat slid across Xuerui's smooth cheeks. She looked at the orange emperor butterflies and dark blue butterflies flying in the cage. The beautiful eyes are curved into crescents, which seem to be filled with stars. "Look, they are so beautiful."

"Well," Roy admired the colorful butterfly, the colorful flowers underneath him, the more delicate face of the person beside the cage, and the clearly visible stream at his feet. His heart became calm inexplicably, and he smiled, "You Haven't you told me before why you need to catch these butterflies and make them into specimens?"

"Don't you think this is interesting?" Xue Rui shook her head and playfully stirred the clear water with her two little feet. Her feet were white and well-proportioned, and her toes were as delicate as strings of pearls, like breathtaking art. Taste. "It's been a long time since anyone caught butterflies with me."

"How is that possible?" Roy shook his head and questioned, "Ms. Caroline and the townspeople like you very much. I believe they will be happy to accompany you to play here."

"This is different...a big difference," Xue Rui's voice suddenly became softer, and then she smiled sweetly at Roy, "Let's go back to these butterflies, shall we? Brother Golden Eyes, we caught them together, so You are also qualified to decide their fate."

"Oh," Roy stared deeply at Xuerui's face, shook his head and chuckled, "I have no opinion, they belong to you, it's up to you to decide."

"Then, let's..." the girl lowered her face and thought for a moment, then said loudly, "How about letting them go? Let them regain their freedom. Free butterflies are the most beautiful!"

"Great idea!"

……

"Second wish, brother Jinyan, let's play hide and seek... I'm hiding near the town, you come and catch me! If you catch me, I'll give you a surprise!" Xuerui watched the released butterflies disappear. In the bushes, he smiled mysteriously at Roy again, with a hint of flattery in his eyes, as if he was afraid of being rejected.

Roy glanced at the setting sun on the horizon again, frowned and hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"Then we have an agreement! You first put your face against the banana tree and count down for a hundred seconds, louder so that I can hear it!" Xue Rui suddenly pressed against the witcher and grabbed his hand. Hands, said with a coquettish tone, "Don't cheat! Otherwise you will be punished."

She stood neatly behind Roy and blew on the blond hair at the temples,

"I'm very good at hide-and-seek. If you really can't find me, then try asking everyone in the town!"

……

In Hongshan Town shrouded in twilight, Roy stood on the street staring at the ground in a daze. Countless colorful ribbons criss-crossed in the air and poured into different houses. However, he could not distinguish them with his eyesight. , and couldn’t find the aura belonging to Xuerui.

Her faint fragrance still lingered in the witcher's nose.

However, in the town, her aura no longer existed, as if she suddenly evaporated from the world.

This situation is extremely rare.

"I really got into trouble. I can't cheat. I can only search honestly..."

……

Where would a girl hide?

Roy took a rough look around the entire Hongshan Town for the first time, but did not find the girl's aura.

He rushed back to the house at the end of the long street and at the foot of the hill, but he only saw Ms. Caroline.

"Is the child playing hide-and-seek with you?" Caroline in the kitchen smoothed her forehead hair, with a pleased smile on her face, "It seems she likes you very much."

"Why do I feel that she is lonely? Don't you usually play with her?" Roy asked curiously. He really couldn't figure out the meaning of Xue Rui's two strange wishes. "Everyone in the town is like this. If you like her, you won't refuse her invitation, right?"

"Actually, everyone didn't treat her well before. No one wanted to get close to her except me."

"Why is this?" Roy asked, "Who would hate a girl as beautiful and lovely as her? How did the change happen?"

"Life in the town used to be quite hard, and everyone often complained about the poverty of life..." Caroline's voice suddenly stopped, a stiff look flashed across her face, and she suddenly smiled, "But then Xue Rui was in the forest. When they found a silver mine while playing, the economic situation in the town changed drastically. Everyone no longer suffered from hunger, and their lives became rich. They were grateful to Xuerui, and they began to like her."

Will the material be satisfied and the spirit improved at the same time?

Roy thought.

"As for now, there are people in this town who are very familiar with each other," Caroline still said with a smile. "She may find it more interesting to play with you. After all, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. ”

"Then do you know where she is hiding?" Roy asked in a low voice, feeling slightly ashamed that a tracking expert would actually ask an ordinary person like he was cheating, "Or somewhere she usually goes?"

"Go to the beach... Xue Rui likes to watch the sunset alone."

……

To the west of Hongshan Town, there are lush and endless mountain forests, spectacular waterfalls flowing down from the cliffs, and waterwheels.

On the right, after passing through a hillside sloping downward, there is a golden beach with sparkling sea and vast expanse of clear water.

The setting sun, which is about to fall into the horizon, creates a half-round orange halo on the sea surface, and a large bright fire cloud.

The changing colors of the sea and sky complement each other.

On the beach, Roy saw an old man wearing a straw hat carrying a fishing rod and an empty barrel, and his whole body was red from the wind and sun.

"Friends from outside, are you looking for Xiao Xuerui?" He grinned enthusiastically, showing a few yellow teeth, and his wrinkled old face looked like a blooming chrysanthemum,

"Have you seen her? Is she hiding on the beach?"

"The old man can't break the rules of the game and tell you the answer casually." The old man stroked his goatee on his chin,

"Then why is it not called casual?"

"I can give you a hint, how about we make a deal?"

"Well...I may not be able to fulfill your request."

"Just do your best."

"Okay then..." Roy sighed helplessly. The people in this town were all weird, but he couldn't feel any malice in his gut.

"Xue Rui has experienced a lot of bad things before and has hidden her worries." The old man sighed, "I hope you can make her happy... If you can, please agree to all her requests."

"Painful past?" Roy asked without answering, "Can you tell me more specifically?"

"If she is willing to tell you, you will naturally know." The old man was not fooled, "How about it, young man, do you agree to this deal?"

"I will do my best to make her happy...but I can't guarantee it."

The old man touched his straw hat and was silent for a moment, "Well... that's okay, remember, she likes beautiful and melodious poems. If you really can't find her, you might as well try reciting one to lure her out! ”

……

"Xue Rui! I saw you, haha, where are you running?!" The demon hunter stood on the empty beach and yelled, while frantically stepping on the wet sand, running back and forth. move.

However, for five minutes, he was like a fool talking to himself, and no one answered him at all.

"Well, this little girl stays in a small town all day long. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be familiar with the world. Why can't she be fooled?"

Roy searched around the beach on the east side of the town for an unknown amount of time. His energy was almost exhausted, but there was still no whereabouts of Xuerui.

"Could it be that these guys are all lying to me? Are they looking in the wrong direction from the beginning?"

Of course, he should have another way.

Roy's face turned green and red, and he was pacing in place, turning around a few times.

Sighed.

"Hey, I don't know anyone here anyway... Let's slightly modify Dandelion's poems and write a song called "Xue Rui"."

Hopefully I can impress that hidden girl.

"Cough, cough..."

Roy took a deep breath, held his head high, looked straight at the sea, and spoke,

"I walked down the beach

The ancient town remains as it was yesterday

The sunset is waving to me

I saw it on the other side of the beach

Xue Rui is running towards me

Strings of blonde hair and cherry red lips...

Touch the warm sand under your feet..."

The rhythmic poetry recitation spread on the beach.

Less professional and less emotional.

However, the voice is loud and basically follows the rhythm.

It floats to the sea.

"Strong blonde hair and cherry red lips,

Caress the warm sand beneath your feet. ”

……

"Pfft, pfft..."

Roy suddenly felt his feet tremble, the sand suddenly parted, and a slender and petite body broke out of the sand.

His blond hair was revealed, his cheeks were flushed, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

The sand wet her thin skirt, revealing her green curves. Her shoulders suddenly trembled and she choked up.

"Xue Rui, I'm sorry, did I keep you waiting for too long?"

"No, I just..." The girl's eyes were filled with tears, and the crystal could not stop falling from her eyes, "I just didn't expect anyone to write a poem for me."

She looked at the witcher with emotion on her face,

"Thank you, Brother Golden Eyes, I have never been so happy in my life. Am I as beautiful as described in poems?" She murmured in a low voice, "Luxes of blond hair and red lips like peach..."

"Of course, there is no doubt that you are the most beautiful girl in the entire Hongshan Town." Roy thought about whether he had gone too far? Is Dandelion's poetry so powerful? He emphasized, "I like you as much as everyone in this town."

"Can I write him down?"

"This is a poem for you, whatever you like."

The girl lowered her head excitedly and could not speak for a long time.

For a moment~IndoMTL.com~ her beautiful ankles stepped into the shallow water on the beach, and she washed the sand away from her body with a handful. She looked even more skin-like and astonishingly beautiful.

However, the golden water reflecting the golden light behind her made her figure look unusually lonely.

It hurts to be alone.

Roy sighed and suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and looked around - dozens of meters away, many townspeople were standing on the wooden fence at the junction of the town and the beach, staring at the two people with smiles on their faces. The joy is like seeing the parents of a daughter who is about to get married.

However, their smiles, the curves of their mouths, the crow's feet around their eyes... every detail is surprisingly consistent.

Roy felt an extremely strange and uneasy feeling in his heart.

"You have fulfilled two of my wishes. I am very satisfied. I don't know how to thank you." At this time, Xuerui's soft voice interrupted his reverie, "But now, it's time to start the third one. A wish, please follow me to...the ruins at the foot of the mountain."
