gentle and affectionate

Chapter 22.

The long smoke sets, and the bright moon rises.

There is never good or evil in the field of Shura—the two kings point their swords at the sky, and the two armies are at war.The sword flashes, the sword is like a shadow, and blood spills on the battlefield without fear; and in this melee, the most conspicuous thing is that man.

He is dressed in a Kai armor, and he is handsome. He wears a dark blue forehead, revealing sharp edges and corners downward; sword eyebrows are drawn into the temples, phoenix eyes are slightly drawn, and the bridge of the nose looks more handsome when viewed from the side. A wild and evil arc.

The horizontal knife is on the horse, the long sword is like a rainbow, and the anger is rushing to the sky.

Like a heroic general.

……

Even men are tempted to see it.

Master Hei's outstanding appearance and skill made him very eye-catching on the battlefield, and it seemed that even the kings of both sides were paying attention to him; but Heigang couldn't kill people because of Princess Zhishi's spells—do not kill on the battlefield. At first, I was worried that King Yasha would Blame it, but I didn't expect the latter to be indifferent, looking happy to see it happen.

That being the case, what do we have to worry about?

But even if it's just hitting with the back of the sword and not hurting the vitals with the blade, it's still exciting enough to attract opponents.While he was fighting with the two, the three enemies unexpectedly attacked from behind!I picked up the bow and set the arrow, and the arrow hit the enemy's right shoulder, the three of them rolled off the horse in an instant, and Master Hei swept across with his sword, and the two who were fighting with him also lost their strength.

From a distance, I saw his thumbs up in this direction.

……

Since King Yaksha does not blame, I have no intention of committing murder.He attacked me close, and I covered from a long distance. The cooperation was perfect without saying a word; Hei Gang used to protect me like that, how could I owe him such a big favor?

——Then as long as I am here, no one will hurt him.

Arrows are like lightning, never in vain.I am not good at melee combat, and the bow and arrow Mr. Hei chose for me is perfect.

So smart... There is really nothing to do with him.

In a short time, the battle was coming to an end, I suddenly put down the hand that drew the bow, and from the corner of my eye, I saw several eyes glued to me.I looked sideways, and saw several Yaksha tribesmen staring at me with surprise on their faces; I didn't take it seriously, I gave them a perfect smile, and then looked at the bright moon in the sky, the general in black pointed his sword at the earth, the bottomless darkness The pupils are like a deep pool that haunts the soul.

So I thought, today's smile may not be perfect, because after all, some pride is mixed in it.

……

I turned over contentedly, the touch of my palm was warm and a little slippery, and the hand felt very good, so I arched over there, climbed onto the warm thing with both hands, and hugged it tightly in my arms, very Happy rubbed.

The thing held in his arms froze suddenly.

I was more used to sleeping on my stomach, but it seems to be because of my back injury recently and too much lying on my stomach. I have recovered from the injury in the past few days, so I changed my position; I don’t know who said it. What will increase the sense of security, today's practice, it really is true.

A sense of dawn.

I set off in the evening and didn't return until the middle of the moon. When I came back, it was already late at night.The two sides have been fighting in a draw for many years, but for me and Mr. Hei, it can be regarded as a triumph; he is also very happy, and my injury has almost healed, so I finally tasted the long-lost wine after a month-although I was black Nanny is limited to two bottles.

Even so, that's beautiful!

The two of them were talking about each other and no one could understand, but they still drank excitedly for half the night, and they didn't fall asleep until about two or three o'clock... So even though it was already broad daylight and there was movement around me, I still struggled to think about it. open your eyes.

In my sleep, a rough hand patted my face.

"……Hey."

"Hey, wake up."

I rubbed against it in dissatisfaction, hugged my hands tighter, and almost stuck my whole body on it; the thing I hugged was strong and elastic, but it froze instantly with my movements, and then I heard a low-pitched roar:

"hurry up#……!"

……

Why are you arguing? It doesn't matter if you hug your arms.

Forced to be dragged up from the quilt by Heigan, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and helped tidy up things like passive resistance.When I woke up, I realized that what I was hugging was Heigang's arm... Originally, two big men hugged each other, but I was inexplicably wronged, maybe because I hadn't hugged before... At least when I was sleeping when.

The second thing we knew after waking up was that we were told we were moving.

In the beginning, the two of us parachuted here, were identified as spies, and were besieged. Although King Yaksha came forward to save us, we were not trusted by people after all. It is inevitable that people look down on others, so although we have a place to live , but the room and yard are the smallest; although food and clothing can be guaranteed, it seems that there is really nothing to praise except that the bedding is fairly good.

Although it was only autumn, the nights in Yemen Kingdom were extremely cold, and the pitifully small charcoal basin could only warm a small area.Hei Gang deliberately put it on my side, but it still doesn't help much. Fortunately, Hei Gang and I have good physiques, and we can bear it if we huddle together at night, especially when someone is like a big natural furnace. Cold, but still warm.

So... I said hugging is normal.

But today is not what it used to be. I showed my skills in the battle with Hei Gang last night. On the return trip, I was treated respectfully by Yaksha King’s cronies; I also received a lot of attention when I walked with Master Hei, and everyone looked at me from head to toe. Washed thoroughly.

Well, people will be embarrassed by this.

However, I have lived in this small house for a month, so I am not used to moving suddenly.I sat on the tatami with my fluffy pillow in my arms and watched Mr. Hei fold the quilt. Thinking that these things might have to be replaced, I couldn't help but sigh.Master Hei glanced at me with a somewhat suspicious expression.

what happened?

Because of the language barrier, I didn't go into the details. I tidied up my clothes and prepared to go out with Hei Gang. Unexpectedly, the latter picked up two pillows and threw them into my arms rather roughly; I saw that he bent down and picked up the ball of embroidered brocade quilt.

This means... moving away together?

The corner of Wuhao man's mouth slightly raised, stretched out his hand and flicked on my forehead, and then walked out the door with long legs.

"Hey? Wait for me, Mr. Hei—!"

……

So the result of the move is that although the room is larger, the sleeping space is still so large, and the function of the black charcoal stove can continue to be effective.

As far as I am concerned... Anyway, Mr. Hei sleeps honestly, neither snatches the quilt nor beats others, such a comfortable quilt is hard to find, even if it is for two people, it can barely bear it.

……

"aiueo-"

"aiueo-"

……

"i-ta-da-ki-ma-su-"

"i-ta-da-ki-ma-su~"

……

"a-li-ga-do-"

"a-li-ga-do~"

……

Well, you read that right, I am just learning Japanese.

The war between Yasha and Shura is always at night, and the two sides are often tied; and Heigang and I have been transferred to the side of Yasha King since we first showed our skills. When Heigang is a little level, we will go up to practice. I am the same as before Covering from the rear, even on the battlefield is like playing around, it's not hard at all.

After making military exploits, he no longer needs to be looked down upon by others; the courtyard is cleaned, and food and clothing are prepared—although Mr. Hei still cooks himself from time to time, it is still a lot more leisurely.In this case, if you don’t work hard at night and have nothing to do during the day, Mr. Hei asked for a few books to read; I was really flustered when I was alone, so I asked Mr. Hei to learn Japanese. I didn’t expect him to learn Japanese very quickly. accepted.

I think he's boring too.

A language completely different from Thracian is very new to me. With this freshness, I studied it very seriously for a few days. However, Mr. Hei took a lot of effort to correct my wrong way of holding the pen, and was extremely speechless to my strangely rising tone.

Can that blame me?I have been saying this for 100 years.

But fresh is fresh, learning a language is still boring to some extent.Teacher Hei had no intention of teaching, maybe it was just to pass the time, so one of us slacked off at work and the other slacked off on studying, and the progress of the lecture slowed down endlessly; in my spare time, it allowed me to develop another a new skill.

Or rather, a new language.

……

I held up a piece of paper, and outlined several distant mountains with three or two strokes on the paper.

Master Hei shook his head at me.

Immediately filled with righteous indignation, I changed a piece of paper with swish swish, and drew the shape of a son-in-law with three or two strokes, and resisted tenaciously with my eyes wide open.

--I'm going.

- not allowed to go.

- I'm going!

……

Well, if you have to go...then go.

Master Hei, who had never been successful in the staring battle, compromised again in desperation, and as a result... a mistake became eternal hatred, and he completely fell into my boat.Riding a horse to travel is a very cool thing. After the first battle, the two thousand-mile horses bestowed by King Yaksha walked like flying, and they could go back and forth freely within a day, which was very convenient.

As a result, the first teacher, who was supposed to teach well, spent his whole life wandering around the mountains and rivers every day.Although at the beginning, the distance of play was limited due to the unhealed injury - I couldn't go to too many places; but for me, who basically didn't go out for a month, it was enough to satisfy people.Thinking about the half a month, he had to torture him for a long time even when he went out of the room, let alone the courtyard, and he would be called back even if he stayed for a long time.

——My God!If this continues, I will become a Shaking M? !

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!

Can not be done!

Can't go on like this! !

So I seriously thought about the possibility of an uprising.

……

In a blink of an eye, it is late autumn in September.

The westerly wind blows the remaining leaves, the branches are already bleak, but the weather is exceptionally good - the sun is smearing the sky, and the autumn geese line the clouds.

Picturesque.

What Tian Gao Yun Dan said is probably what it is like today.The sun was shining brightly. I stood in the yard wearing a thick robe and squinted my eyes comfortably. I must be ordered to wrap up in cotton clothes in a few days; The sweet fragrance of osmanthus cake came.

I love so much.

Because we travel thousands of miles a day, we don't worry about time, so we don't have to get up too early.The fact that the war horse bestowed by King Yaksha was taken by us to travel has been looked at by many parties. It is said that some people complained to King Yaksha himself at first, but the king himself didn't mind, so we can continue to have a lawless and happy life, and it gets worse every day. trend.

There is also a saying that those who disagreed were recruited by Mr. Hei to beat them up in groups—they beat up one of my family, Ah Hei, but the result...is still no suspense.

As for myself, I have never considered those issues. People who tend to think too much must deliberately let themselves think less, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the load.I looked sideways and saw that the two horses were eating happily, and they must be very happy too.

In this case, the objections of others are not important.

……

Just like the original, there is more envy than opposition.

The newly changed room is big enough to place two bathtubs separately; the yard is also very big, surrounded by towering trees, and a crabapple tree in full bloom in the center reminds me that it was open when Mr. Hei and I first moved in. Kazuki's flowers; although not as mellow as laurel, but the flowers fall like rain, which is also a special artistic conception.

And such a large and beautiful yard is naturally attractive.

A group of people passing by the door saw me standing neatly in the yard, so they stopped by to say hello.Because I learned some of the language of other countries from Mr. Hei, I can cope with it; some of them have met me and know that I don’t understand the language, so it’s not surprising.

"Going out again?"

"……Um."

Perhaps because the weather and the things to do next were so pleasant, I smiled at them in a good mood.The people of the Yasha tribe are very interesting. They usually look serious, but they have a heart of innocence. My smile must have startled them, and the two of them blushed directly.

Rather... a bit like our head of the house.

"Black General."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.Mr. Hei hung a small bundle on the horse, and then came to talk to them. I think this kind of conversation is probably different from the conversation we usually use Mokona to translate. Hearing a language similar to his own local accent must be very kind.

So Mr. Hei didn't put on any airs except for his serious expression.The chatter between the men is very bold, I am very jealous, but I can't keep up with their speaking speed, and some of them can't even understand... In embarrassment, I tugged on Mr. Hei's sleeve, and the latter glanced at me , and say goodbye to them.

A few Yasha tribesmen suddenly laughed, the two younger ones who were more outgoing seemed a little malicious, I looked blankly at Master Hei, he just pushed me towards the direction of the horse, turned around and didn't know anything about them. said something.

When he said that, he actually smiled, with a proud expression on his face, like a bad kid showing off his things.

"Master Black..."

"Let's go."

……

There are many autumn grasses in the mountains in the west, and the fallen leaves are full of red steps.Master Hei stretched out his hand and pulled me up a boulder, and then we continued to walk on the path.The mountain road is steep, and even Heigan and I struggled to walk, and our breathing was a little short of breath. Fortunately, we had plenty of time, and we walked slowly, enough to get back before dark.

We rested on a slightly flat place.Looking around, in the bottomless valley, the red leaves are like waterfalls, like flying down.

"Here."

I took the kettle he handed over and raised my head to drink a mouthful of sweet spring.

At this time, even the water is delicious.

……

It was almost noon, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain and found a relatively flat sheltered place for lunch.The main course was made by Master Hei himself in the morning, and the dim sum was entrusted to the best chef in the Night Demon Kingdom... After the meal, Master Hei brought out the dim sum wrapped in oil paper, and I ate a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with satisfaction.

——This is also thanks to the merits of the war. Just imagine that when you first arrived, even the meals were cooked by Mr. Hei himself, and there was no one in charge. Now you can eat the snacks made of the specially reserved August osmanthus flowers , compared with that time, almost thought it was a dream.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

I picked up a piece and gave it to the heroes of my family.

"Don't eat."

"Eat."

"...don't eat."

"Eat~"

Because it was made for me on purpose, the sweetness of this batch of pastries was much higher than usual.Master Hei didn't like sweets all his life, facing my temptation, he would rather die than surrender.

"Take a bite, Master Hei~"

He stood up in disgust.

I also stood up.

"Master Hei, don't go~"

"Master Hei, why don't you try it, it's delicious."

"Master Hei, don't run away—"

……

Raising your head, the sky is cloudless, and the long road is covered with fallen leaves; the mountains and valleys are intertwined with fiery red and golden yellow, and the bottom is the color of the withered and withered leaves, which will turn into spring mud in the coming year... Such bright colors are too beautiful. Moving, people can't help admiring the charm of life.

Even autumn is full of hope.

That black shadow stood in the mountains full of fallen leaves, and behind him was the distant sky; the mountains were filled with mist, and I couldn't see his face clearly, the dew wet the temples, and the skin felt the coolness of the micro-moisture; but the sun was warming people .

I stood on the edge of the cliff and smiled at him.

——It would be nice if time stopped here.

……

Seeing that I was not moving, Master Hei came back to me. While he was not paying attention, I stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth, just like feeding chocolate cake at that time; Master Hei probably did not expect that I would repeat the same mistakes, Instantly restart the black dog mode.

This time, it was me who was chased and ran all over the mountain.

……

I made noise without any scruples, and when I was tired from running, I lay on the ground and looked at the sky; the thick fallen leaves formed a natural cushion, and I looked at the sun fading to the west, and turned my head, the side face was familiar and perfect.

——The years are quiet and good.

If I can still keep this memory in the last period of my life, I will not waste my life.

……

This afternoon was deeply engraved in my memory, and it became a reason for me to stick to it for a long time in the future-because just thinking about it, I can't stop laughing.

The chilling autumn can also be so beautiful.

Later, Hei Gang and I recalled this afternoon countless times, and there were also countless sighs and nostalgia; and at that time, I did not expect that this sentence "the years are quiet" was actually a seed, as early as inadvertently. Time is planted in my heart, but I don't know it, and I need someone to wake it up.

Let the old rot in the soil, and with strong vitality, one day new hope will emerge.
