"It's already so late..."

Walking alone on a field path, Kainosuke looked up at the sky, which was gray and gloomy.

Judging from the sky, it's already past six o'clock, so it will definitely be very late to get home.

Kainosuke walked through the field path and came to the foot of the mountain. He was about to enter the forest, but he stopped in place.

"This is……"

Kainosuke stood at the intersection of the forest path, looking down at his feet with a solemn expression.

I saw a forest path covered with layers of withered yellow leaves. A large number of withered yellow leaves were swept to the side of the road by something, exposing the black soil below, leaving footprints one by one.

"Someone is going up the mountain!?"

Kainosuke looked at the two lines of walking traces left at the intersection ahead, frowning and thinking.

He looked up and looked around. In the endless fields, not far away, there were a few bare tree shadows, standing ferociously on the spot, swaying in the wind.

Apart from that, there is nothing.

"No one will go up the mountain at this time."

Kainosuke thought to himself that because of the ferocious beasts on the mountain, the locals would only go up the mountain during the day, and it was impossible to go up the mountain at night.

There is a special reason why their family was able to gain a foothold in the mountains.

"Huh~"

Kainosuke stood there, took a deep breath, stepped into the forest.

"Zhizhi~"

"Ouch~"

In the gloomy and dark forest, the chirping of insects and birds can be heard constantly, and the howling of wild beasts can be heard from time to time in the distance.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Kainosuke finally saw a bright light, which was his home.

He looked happy and quickened his pace.

"Woooo..."

But at this moment, a wild beast's voice sounded in the grass next to him.

Kainosuke paused, looked at the grass on the roadside, walked over, and opened the grass.

I saw a gray-haired forest wolf hiding in the grass, crouching low, grinning at the brightly lit wooden house not far away, and making a ferocious "wow" sound.

Even though Kainosuke has come to it, it remains indifferent.

"Ah Hui, what's wrong?"

Kainosuke knelt down and reached out to touch the forest wolf's head, not worried at all that the beast would take a bite from him.

He knew the wolf very well, they often played together and even gave it a name.

Kainosuke stroked the forest wolf's head, along its hair to its back. After just a few strokes, he paused.

Because he discovered that Ah Hui's body...

He was actually trembling.

You must know that the forest wolf is the overlord of the mountain in this bluestone mountain, and in a place like this, what can make an overlord tremble with fear?

He looked at Ah Hui intently and found that its gaze had never shifted and was always staring at the wooden house in front of it.

"Woooo..."

Kainosuke looked at his home and felt a chill in his heart. He remembered the two lines of footprints he saw at the foot of the mountain and couldn't help but stand up suddenly.

"Could it be!"

"Creak~"

As soon as he stood up, a harsh sound reached his ears.

I saw a figure with its back to the bright light appearing in the open doorway.

Kainosuke was stunned on the spot for a moment, and the figure at the door did not move at all. He stood silently, not looking around, like a doll.

For a moment, the scene was eerily silent.

Because his back was to the light, Kainosuke could not see the facial expression of the figure at the door, only darkness.

But judging from her height, body shape and clothes, she must be her mother.

"Woo~"

At this time, Ah Hui, the forest wolf who had been squatting in the grass, howled low and fled deep into the forest with his tail between his legs.

"Ah Hui..."

Kainosuke turned to look at the fleeing forest wolf, becoming more and more confused.

Although Ah Hui is only close to him, his mother and younger brothers and sisters usually give him some food. Although he often ignores them, he will not run away when he sees his mother.

"Kainosuke?"

"Is Kainosuke back?"

At this time, the mother standing at the door spoke. She took steps forward and walked towards the forest.

"mom…"

Jie Zhisuke was about to respond, but when he opened his lips, he suddenly remembered the behavior of the forest wolf Ah Hui and immediately tightened his lips.

He squatted down, hid in the grass, and watched his mother.

"Kainosuke? Is Kainosuke back?"

His mother was still calling his name, but Kainosuke didn't know why. Looking at that familiar figure, his heart beat faster and faster in his chest.

He looked at his mother intently, his eyes blank, and finally noticed something strange.

Although the mother was calling, she seemed not sure whether her son was back.

But the strange thing is that while she was talking, she was walking directly towards the grass where he was hiding.

"Kainosuke, now that you're back, hurry up and enter the house."

"The food has been prepared, Naruya and Umina are waiting."

Mom was talking as she walked, but suddenly her words changed. She seemed to have determined that Kainosuke was hiding in the grass, and she speeded up and walked towards this side.

"Dong dong~dong dong~"

As the distance between his mother and him got closer and closer, Kainosuke could feel that his heart was beating faster and faster and more intensely.

Kainosuke's face was ugly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

At the same time, a strong sense of crisis was rising from the bottom of his heart, and even a slight tingling sensation appeared on the surface of his skin.

Kainosuke understood in his heart that this inexplicable premonition was the instinct of his body warning him.

This is a talent he has had since he was a child. Except for his father who has passed away long ago, no one knows about it, including his mother and younger brothers and sisters.

"Kainosuke, what's wrong with you?"

Suddenly, an indifferent female voice as cold as a knife sounded in front of him.

"Um!?"

Kainosuke raised his head suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing stopped.

He saw that his mother, who was more than ten meters away just now, was now standing in front of the grass where he was hiding, looking down at him condescendingly with an indifferent expression.

Her eyes were empty and her expression was cold, completely lacking her usual gentle and gentle temperament.

Like a walking corpse, a puppet.

"Wow..."

The grass shook, and Kainosuke grabbed a handful of black soil and suddenly jumped up from the grass, throwing the black mud in his hand towards his mother.

The moment his mother stretched out her hand to resist the soil, Kainosuke took off the bamboo pole from his back, slammed it on his mother's head, turned around and ran away.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

Kainosuke ran wildly in the dark forest, with a large number of branches, leaves and vines hitting his face, leaving scars on his face.

But he didn't care and just kept running up and down.

"Can't stop...can't stop..."

"Stop and you'll die!"

Kai no Suke turned into a phantom, moving extremely fast.

He kicked aside the piles of leaves and grass that were blocking the way and walked around the hillside. A narrow path appeared in front of him.

"Finally there is a way."

Kainosuke jumped up from the dense forest and ran wildly on the path.
