Chapter 2 The Valley of Resentment(1/2)
Manda ran aimlessly in the darkness, sweat stuck to the wounds of her thighs, and every step she ran was accompanied by a piercing pain.
The barking sound came from behind him. It was Shadina's hunting dog. A chill from memory made the exhausted Manda wake up instantly.
The scene of the original owner being bitten by several vicious dogs at the same time appeared in his mind. He heard the original owner's helpless cry and Shadina's excited laughter.
Manda, the illegitimate son of Baron Rugion Claudesey, a nobody who is not worthy of having a surname.
The rules of this world are different from what he imagined. In the ancient Eastern Kingdoms, although the illegitimate son of a nobleman could not have the same status as the legitimate son, he could at least live a life of luxury. However, he lived like a livestock, and had a twelve years of life under the destruction of his brother and sister.
They can't catch it, otherwise they will not even have the opportunity to be a livestock.
After passing through a long house of Li Nong, another wheat field, passing through the temple of wine that was about to be demolished, Manda plunged into the forest.
It had just rained heavily, and the ground was very muddy. After a long journey, Manda tripped onto the ground by a tree root.
This time he fell very badly, and his face poked directly onto the stone. The dizzy Manda almost fainted. Fortunately, his front teeth accidentally bit his tongue, and the severe pain and the smell of blood in his mouth made him wake up.
The dog barking was getting closer and closer, and the torch appeared in the forest, and they caught up.
Unable to delay for a moment, Manda struggled to get up and staggered towards the end of the forest.
Outside the forest is a canyon, with fog shrouded in it, and there is no way to see the situation inside.
Manda wanted to move forward, but she was a little scared. There was a voice in the original owner's memory that kept reminding him: "You can't go there, you can never enter the valley of resentment."
This voice came from the original owner's mother, who died two years ago. This should be a reappearance of a certain memory.
The Valley of Shrike, the forbidden place of the Claudesey family, is also the place where the barons are punished.
As a lord of the land, Baron Rugion Claudesey made many lynchings. According to the laws of the kingdom, the lord had the right to punish the people of the territory, but could not easily deprive their lives.
But the Baron had executed many leaders in private because his family had always retained a mysterious way of execution, which was to send people into the valley of resentment.
No one, including the Baron himself, knew what was there in this valley, and only knew that none of the people entering the valley could come out alive.
They drove the "death prisoners" into the valley, stationed for a while and then left, without any worries about the prisoners running away.
In a few days, the prisoner's corpses will be placed at the entrance of the valley, just like they have been gnawed, clean without leaving any flesh.
Manda was still wandering at the entrance of the valley. The Baron and his servants had already chased him in front of him. A large torch made Manda unable to open his eyes, reminding him of the fear brought to him by the soldering iron.
"You beast!" Baroness Atiya stood behind the baron, pointed at Manda and cursed, "I forgave you, I made you live to this day, what did you do to my children!"
"You shameless crazy woman, why don't you ask what your child did to me?" Manda cursed back.
Athya roared, “I’m going to peel you alive!”
"Come here!" If there is a hostage, Manda can delay the time.
The Baron was quite calm. He walked forward two steps, stared at Manda for a while, and whispered: "Come back, my child, everything is over, I won't punish you, I know it's not your fault."
What a warm word, Manda was almost moved to tears.
In memory, although his father was a little cold, he at least did not use violence against this poor child.
Just following my father home like this and pretending that nothing had happened, what a perfect ending for a twelve-year-old boy.
Unfortunately, in front of the Baron, it was not an ignorant boy, with a twelve-year-old man carrying a madman from Jurassic in his body.
There was no violence, but there was no protection. The Baron kept his eyes closed to all the experiences of Manda until the poor boy was tortured to death.
Look at the large torch in front of you. In order to hunt down a child, the Baron actually dispatched more than forty servants. He was not very different from the group of demons, but his hands were not covered with blood.
You cannot have any fantasy about demons. Only the madman can deal with demons. But now there are too many demons, and the madman can only take a step back temporarily.
Manda looked back at the canyon and quietly moved backwards. Rugion whispered loudly: "Don't do stupid things, you have no way to retreat. Entering the canyon is like going to hell!"
"You are very smart! Retreat is hell!" Manda suddenly smiled.
The Baron looked at Manda in surprise. How could this cowardly stupid boy dare to talk to him like this? He never even had the courage to face him.
"Come back quickly, while I still have the last patience, you still have the chance to survive!" The Baron gritted his teeth, "If you don't believe it, you can take a step back and try!"
"I won't take back, I won't even take a step!" Manda also clenched her teeth, her eyes kept staring at the Baron.
The baron was stunned and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword. He had fought. This was a sign of the fight between trapped beasts, and Manda could rush over at any time.
The servants around him raised sticks, hoes and various weapons.
Seeing this, Manda smiled contemptuously and said, "It is impossible to retreat. I decided to stand up and walk in with my chest straight!"
Manda suddenly turned around and ran into the canyon. The Baron was stunned on the spot. The people around him looked at each other, but they didn't have the courage to catch up.
"He is crazy, he must be crazy." The Baron shook his head helplessly.
"Just like his mother, he is a shameless bastard! When I see his body, I will smash every bone of him!" The lady cried and scolded, but she did not dare to take another step forward.
Walking into the valley, it seemed as if you had entered another world. The baubles's screams and scolding stopped abruptly, replaced by howling winds and strange bird songs.
Manda had been trekking through the mud and gravel for a long time, but no one was chasing him. He sat on the ground, leaning against a bluestone, and began to breathe heavily.
He found a stone from the ground and wrote four lines of words on the ground in Chinese.
Factors: Still alive.
Adverse factors: I don’t know how long it will take.
Long-term goal: survive.
Current goal: Leave this valley.
It was his habit to write down important things, even in Jurassic, so that he knew what he should do.
The thick fog swayed around, and the visibility around was no more than three meters. In the canyon, Manda still knew nothing about the canyon.
Are there people-eating beasts here? Or are there evil spirits who drink blood? Or are there the Yin veins of the Claudesay family living here, specializing in doing some dirty work for them?
Maybe there is nothing here, but because this place is too easy to get lost, people are trapped inside and cannot get out, and eventually die of hunger.
Thinking of hunger, Manda was locked up in the warehouse all day and was tortured without eating a single bite.
What is more fatal than hunger is thirst. The throat is already on fire, and the mouth is like swallowing bitter salt. It is salty and sticky. It feels that saliva is thicker than blood.
Manda stretched out a finger, pointed at a stone, and said silently, "It turns into a bowl of water, it turns into a bowl of water..."
I read it for a whole Jiazi (sixty times), and the stone is still the same stone.
The omnipotent golden fingers were able to cut the rope before, but why is it not working now? Did you use the wrong method?
"It turns into gold."
“It turns into a roast chicken.”
"It turns into a bowl of rice."
"It's good to become anything, as long as it's not a stone..."
He tried dozens of times at the stone, and chewed two bites in the middle, ate a mouthful of mud, accidentally broke a tooth, and nothing else was gained.
"If you break it, just break it, it's loose anyway."
After losing the stone, Manda broke a weed and tried dozens of times. Manda was sure that his golden finger had no ability to change.
Didn’t the ghost messenger agree to give him all the gold fingers? Why can’t even implement the most basic functions? Is there any misunderstanding here?
Thinking about the rope that broke off before, Manda decided to do an experiment, put the weed between her index finger and middle finger, imitating the appearance of scissors, concentrate, and squeeze it hard, and the weed immediately broke into two pieces.
Misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding.
Manda tried several times and could cut pieces, cut strips, and slice them. The weeds were cut all over the ground, fully verifying the function of the gold finger.
Fingers that can turn into sharp metal are the understanding of gold fingers.
What do all the gold fingers mean?
Manda found another weed and tried it. Each finger has the same function, and both hands are extremely sharp.
What is this? Wolverine or scissors hand?
I haven't let go of a single ten fingers. Can I wash my face in the future? Can I still scratch it? How to solve important things such as picking my ears and picking my nose? Is the five-finger girl so close? Is there still happiness in my life?
You shouldn't be so greedy and not be nonsense with ghost messengers. Just make it clear. There are countless golden fingers in the novel, which one is not better than this one!
In a state of regret, a sound of water suddenly came to my ears.
There is water! That's right, it's water!
Manda got up excitedly, and instantly forgot the golden fingers behind her head, and ran all the way with the sound of water.
Manda's ears were very good. She found the water source without running far. It was a stream flowing down from the mountain, and formed a pool of water in the low-lying part of the valley.
Without thinking, Manda plunged into the pool and while sucking, the sweet clear stream poured from her toes to her hair.
Resurrection, this time he was completely resurrected, as long as he could find something to eat...
Manda was stunned. There seemed to be a sound behind her, the sound of her limbs scratching through the weeds.
Not big, but very flexible, he should be a wild beast like a leopard.
Taking advantage of the prey drinking water, this trick is a favorite of carnivores since Jurassic.
Manda was calm and continued to drink water.
Manda has tried this trick countless times by taking advantage of drinking water to lure small carnivorous dinosaurs into the hook.
To be continued...
