Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn-Chapter 264 - 44: Angry "Little Bird" (Part 2)

Stomach of stone? Yezi had only learned some junior high school knowledge, but from the description of the boulder, he could roughly tell that the boulder still retained many human habits, and it didn’t seem like a demon to him. As long as he thought of the other party as human, the fear in Yezi’s heart was somewhat alleviated.

"We should strike a deal, it seems quite lonely for you to be alone here. I won’t run away or seek people to harm you, and you don’t eat me, how about that?" When Yezi spoke, his gaze shifted to the river beside him. The greatest weakness of the boulder was its inability to move; as soon as he left its line of sight and leapt into the water, then vigorously swam away, he would have a chance to escape.

"I have to get out, after I was washed away, the car driver would definitely turn back and inform father and Mama. They must be extremely anxious by now," Yezi desperately thought of ideas in his head, the stone in the palm of his hand digging in a bit more, pain swept over his brain as his feet imperceptibly moved.

"Kid, you talk a good game," said the boulder, seemingly pondering as well; it had stayed on the surface of the water long enough, so long that even it didn’t know how many years it had been. It also longed to leave; it had to find her.

"I’m not just talking the talk," Yezi regained his ability to move and, with the wind at his heels, not caring about the sharp stones beneath his feet, threw himself into the river. His feet touched the water first, followed by his body; he was completely submerged, the corners of Yezi’s mouth lifted, success.

The bone-chilling cold water of winter, at this point Yezi had no regard for it, he held his breath and dove down into the water, using his arms and legs to swim away from the man-eating riverbank as quickly as possible. The light at the bottom of the water was bad, Yezi simply closed his eyes, relying on his sense of direction, and swam toward one side of the riverbank, he thought that even if he only made it to the opposite shore, the footless boulder could not do anything to him.

An itch by the ear, Yezi initially didn’t pay much attention to it. He was a strong swimmer and could cover dozens of meters in one breath. He felt resistance under his feet and then by his hands; Yezi found it strange, as the water was fine when he dove in, but it felt particularly strenuous to swim this time, as if he was surrounded by mud and swamp instead of water.

The itch spread to the soles of his feet and then his arms. Yezi couldn’t help but open his eyes, and with that look, his eyes almost burst, countless tiny silver fish swimming frenziedly beside him. The dense school of fish was pushing straight toward the other side of the riverbank.

Yezi used his hands to beat the water forcefully, his resistance only made the school of fish more daring, countless fish mouths honing in on the holes in his torn clothes, biting ferociously.

On the riverbank, the boulder protruded in two places, resembling two stony eyeballs, looking at the river surface with great interest, waiting for a good show to unfold.

A person burst out onto the river surface, rolling and scrambling back onto the stony riverbank.

"Nice try, kid, you still thinking about running?" the boulder let out a laugh as if it was watching an amusing show, and after Yezi jumped onto the riverbank, he didn’t look back and ran toward the dense forest behind him, "I want to see where you can run to."

The wet pain under his feet, it wasn’t the river water that was wet, but the blood flowing from the wounds left by the fish bites, Yezi only felt that he had never been so humiliated in his life, at this moment, anger and annoyance filled his mind, yet he was still rational, with only one thought in his head: escape, the boulder and that strange school of fish in the riverbank were a nightmare for the living.

After running into the dense forest, Yezi finally stopped, the wet and soft soil underfoot and the quiet surrounding trees allowed him to catch his breath momentarily, he listened attentively, there was no movement from the direction of the stone riverbank.

"That was so close, I almost lost my life and couldn’t see Xiao Xian, Mama, and father," Yezi didn’t dare to recklessly wander through the woods and sat down in a spot brightened by the moonlight. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

He had just settled down when he jumped up again with a thud, "What’s poking me," Yezi was suspicious, looked behind him at the tree, a very ordinary tree that didn’t seem special.

"Could it be mosquitoes," Yezi touched his neck, where the wound was still itching and hurting, and after a while, a large lump had formed.

Speaking of mosquitoes, there was now an audible buzzing near his ear, the sound growing from distant to close, getting louder, "Hornets!" Once Yezi identified the sound, he started running toward the other end of the forest.

After more than half an hour, Yezi once again leaped out from the pitch-dark forest, "Hornets are afraid of fire and water, in the river." Yezi waved his hands as he ran to the riverbank.

Just looking at the river surface with the silver light flickering from the school of fish was enough to make one’s scalp tingle; it seems the fish in this river had been fed with fish meat by the boulder demon and had also gotten a taste for human flesh. Looking at the scene before him, the man-eating boulder didn’t want to eat him all at once but rather tire him out with dodging before leisurely devouring him bit by bit.

Yezi was caught in a dilemma, with piranhas in front and a swarm of Poisonous Bees behind. "If only Grandma were here, if only Grandma were here, she wouldn’t let these bugs bully me," Yezi unconsciously looked toward the other side of the river.

Just when it was most urgent, a bright red fireball flew across the sky. Yezi fixed his gaze, and what was fluttering over the river surface was none other than "Little Pig."

"Get back, Little Pig, don’t come over here, there are man-eating monsters here, if you come, not even a turkey bone will be left of you," Yezi shouted.

Little Pig, anxious to find Yezi, also heard his words. It had been searching along the river for the whole night, and now that it had finally spotted Yezi, it refused to turn back.

The school of fish on the river surface heard the sound of the bird’s wings. On this river, there were always some greedy birds coming to peck at the water fish, with fish and birds being natural enemies like fire and water. For a moment, the fish in the water leaped out from the surface.

"Chirp, chirp," Little Pig sped up its flapping, its demeanor comparable to that of an angry little bird, its short and plump figure lunging into the water. (To be continued.
