Chapter 291: mory Loss
There was another possibility. Himl Soan might not understand the language after all and just happened to make the sa sounds. But that was a very long stretch.
Oech laughed when that thought struck him, and he soon gave up on the idea. No such coincidence should exist. He decided there was only one explanation for Himl Soan’s behavior: the teenager had lost his mory!
Yes!
Oech recalled the forest Himl Soan was pointing at when they ran into him the day before. It could explain everything from his strange clothes to his unrecognizable language.
Even many capable people wouldn’t go into that forest.
What was in that forest? Was there sothing on the other side? Did anyone live in it?
Many people wanted an answer to those questions.
Did the teenager really have sothing to do with that forest?
Oech didn’t dare guess.
“Give a hand!” He waved at Himl Soan.
No matter who Himl Soan was, where he ca from, and how he ended up here, Oech felt those questions were irrelevant.
Since Himl Soan was already here, Oech decided to let him stay. If he really had lost his mory, he would wait until he recovered. Even if he did not, he didn’t mind having him around.
He would be happier if Himl Soan learned how to hunt. That way, Oech wouldn’t need to work so hard anymore.
......
However, those things could wait. There were more pressing things at hand. He was glad to see the bear dead. Now that he had vented his rage, he needed to drag the corpse back to the village. Although the animals had eaten over half of the bear, there was still much left because it was a giant bear.
What was left of the bear could sustain the villagers for over a week. Less than half of the bear could still provide Oech with a lot of at. But it was a little hard to carry.
Himl Soan walked up to Oech. He didn’t need to hear another word. It was clear what Oech wanted him to do.
Obviously, Oech wanted to take the bear back to the village. Himl Soan walked up to the corpse and lifted it with one hand.
Oech was trying to figure out how to carry the dead bear with Himl Soan when the sight left him astonished.
“You’re so strong. You look so thin, but how can you have so much strength? I can’t believe it!
“I was going to let you stay here while I carry it back bit by bit. I see that won’t be necessary. Let’s go ho now! This bear will fill a lot of stomachs!”
Oech felt tears welling up in his eyes. He didn’t know how to describe his feelings. It was like a dream. That giant bear had changed a lot of things.
Previously, it had occupied their new hunting ground, and the villagers were starving. However, the bear’s dead body was right here and had been half-eaten by animals.
Oech didn’t know whether he should feel happy or sad. He didn’t ask Himl Soan any more questions though. He could see that this boy was much more capable than he thought.
He decided not to stick his nose into his affairs. There was no need to. No matter what the truth was, it was obvious Himl Soan didn’t an any harm. That was enough.
If Himl Soan really was so important figure, it gave Oech more reason not to ask any questions. The village had gone through enough. He didn’t want anything to happen.
Himl Soan carried the dead bear as Oech followed him. They returned to the village before long.
“Guys, the bear is dead!” Oech shouted as soon as he returned. It was as if he wanted to say those words to the villagers that had been killed by the bear.
The whole village heard him, yet no one believed it. They all know how terrifying the bear was having killed so many people. It sounded far-fetched that it had died. Nevertheless, they all ran out of their houses.
“It’s true! It’s really dead!”
“Am I dreaming? It’s really dead!”
“This is great! My brother didn’t die for nothing!”
“I’m so happy!”
“...”
The villagers were scared when they first saw the bear, but other emotions soon took over. The bear had brought them much trauma. So were laughing while so were crying. So charged at the dead bear and punched it as Oech did. That was the only way they could vent their sorrow.
Afterward, they cald down and were relieved.
“Oech, why is this bear here?”
“How did it die? Why is it outside our village?”
People had many questions. Many people were intrigued. How did a terrifying beast die so suddenly? Was there sothing more terrifying out there?
“I don’t know how the bear died. It was already like this when I discovered it. I didn’t see any big footprints nearby either. That’s very curious indeed. The two of us carried this bear back.”
He didn’t tell the others about Himl Soan’s incredible strength. He didn’t know how the others would react to it. It was better to keep it a secret.
