Chapter 159
CoPW 159 – Do not touch the window.
Translated by Joycelyn
Fu Shi’s roar let everyone know that the killings had started tonight.
The people that were surveying the outside had already started fighting against the invaders; roars, collision sounds, screams, and other noises could be heard.
At the same time, the people on the Water Moon Canal bank had also picked up their speed.
The battle outside had already begun; the warriors there will naturally stop them, but who’s to know if their defenses will be broken through, and not to mention that these people are from the Martyr tribe. They are simply here to give up their lives, they are all completely mad.
“While they are not here yet, take the chance to collect all the Water Moonstones!”
While saying this, Ping felt that Chen Jia alone was too slow, she looked down at the river bottom below her house, then looked at the surrounding houses’, the rest of them already had other people going into the water to help collect, and her own house only had Chen Jia alone. This year, although their house had more Water Moonstones than the rest, but if this continues, collecting them will definitely take a much longer time.
By the time Chen Jia came over, Shao Xuan was done.
The Drumming tribe’s windows were bigger, in every bedroom there was a huge window. At many times, they will use the window as a door instead and go in and out directly from the window.
Therefore, after the door was shut, the only entrance in was from the windows.
Chen Jia looked at the windows and saw that there wasn’t anything special, just when he reached his hand out, wanting to feel the window frame, he was stopped by Shao Xuan.
“Your mum asked you to hide yourself well.” Shao Xuan told him.
Chen Jia irritatedly bit his fingers, “There’s no need to hide, I didn’t the last time either, I’ll just wait here.”
Wanting to lay by the window there to peek outside, but thinking of Shao Xuan’s action just now, he kept it in and sat down instead, while continuing biting his fingers. He heard that this time it was more dangerous, he wondered if his dad and mum will be fine. Previously, his grandpa and grandma had lost their lives because of invasions like this.
Shao Xuan glanced at Chen Jia
“When you guys hide, do you hide in the river as well?”
“En. There is a hole in the river, you can go in there to hide.”
The hole in the river has no air to breathe. Only the Drumming Tribe members with good affinity with water could hold in a little longer. The others might not be able to be like them.
There were baby crocodiles crying out outside. The rest of the baby crocodiles probably felt the unease in the air and cried out, including the brown eyed baby crocodile outside Chen Jia’s house.
Shao Xuan looked out and did not see any invaders. Not even any movements from anybody. Each house stayed in their own homes with their doors shut tight. Nobody dared to go out.
“You wait here first, I’ll go out and take a look.” Shao Xuan said, walking two steps forward, then turned back and said: “Do not touch the windows, if you want to hide, hide in the river from the wooden floor. Remember, if anybody calls for you, do not go out from the window. Stay away as much from the windows!”
“I understand.” Chen Jia replied.
Shao Xuan stepped out from the window, not touching the frames of the window.
Compared to the killings on the outside, the living area was much quieter. However, that was before the cries of the baby crocodiles. But it is also because of these cries from the baby crocodiles in the river, that made them feel even more nervous, filled with crisis.
That ‘mute’ crocodile had crawled out from the river and joined the rest of its kind. Noticing Shao Xuan making his way over, it left the little group and went over to Shao Xuan.
Back there, Chen Jia, whom was left in the house, was worrying about his parents, he then suddenly heard someone outside calling out his name.
“Chen Jia, are you home?”
The voice sounded familiar, it seems to be from someone in the Drumming tribe. At the same time, there were footsteps stepping on the stairs that could be heard, creaking sounded from the wooden boards, coming closer step by step.
“Who?” Chen Jia wanted to go to the window to take a look, but thinking of Shao Xuan’s instructions before he left, he stopped. He stood two steps away from the window and looked out from the window.
A silhouette heard Chen Jia’s voice and walked to the window, looking inside the room.
He was dressed like his tribe, his face looked a bit familiar, he was one of the tribe members who went to patrol.
It’s only that…somehow Chen Jia had a strange feeling.
