[An Lei] Die in Love

The risk-takers had been staying in a small room to keep warm by a small stove, but when the great-grandfather opened the door, the wind and snow suddenly came in. "

"At that time, the man stopped the people who were about to discuss a topic, and said in a friendly and gentle manner that if they fought, they would really have no place to hide from the snow. Some of them who insisted on fighting were also forcibly stopped by him. At that time, because of the remoteness of the area, no one could recognize it. However, one night not long after the group of adventurers left, an assassin finally broke into this place where there were few people in the dark night. set foot in the north."

"The knight disappeared suddenly that night. My great-grandfather was worried that something would happen to him, so he arranged for my grandmother to go out alone to look for it. Finally, he was found on a plain."

"The knight stood there with an indifferent expression. The white snow around him was completely stained crimson with blood and it continued to spread. The smell of blood in the air was getting heavier and heavier, but he still stood there. The warm and gentle smile completely disappeared and became cold and indifferent, and the aurora-colored eyes stared blankly into the distance. It took a long time before he spoke—don’t look, it’s time to go.”

"He didn't seem to mind that his whereabouts were discovered by his great-grandfather, and he didn't kill his great-grandfather--grandmother didn't know about this, so she saw great-grandfather and An Mixiu, who had been cleaned, came back and greeted them with joy. He brought them ginger soup into the house and complained why the knight had to go out in the middle of the night. At that time, the knight seemed to have recovered and told him with a smile that he suddenly wanted to go for a walk, so he went out. Looking at him like this, his great-grandfather still remembered that time His look on the hill—he thought the knight was sad."

"Why is he so sad? Great-grandfather didn't know, and didn't want to know. Before he knew the knight, he left for the Eastern Forest." The woman paused, and An Mixiu justly handed her a glass of warm water.

"The knight didn't say that he was a knight of longevity at the time, so great-grandfather didn't think much about it." She smiled at An Mixiu, "Will great-grandfather know that he is a knight of longevity? He came to the hotel with his body full of wind and frost. It was a coincidence that he ran into a room full of troublemakers. Among the people who assassinated him, he was recognized. It would not be good for him if he went there, so he kept quiet and lured An Mixiu out at night, but this time, my great-grandfather saw and heard those things."

"He saw the assassin asking why he lived forever and why he couldn't die. The great-grandfather saw the knight laughing, watching the assassin's eyes dim quietly with a gentle smile. The voice asked and answered: It's hard for you to work so hard for a curse..."

"He saw the knight slowly squatting down and gently mourning the assassin's eyes that were still wide open, and said in a sad tone: I am still very envious of you all being able to die, unlike me, who can't die even if you want to die. Then he turned around and smiled, Slowly said like before: Don't look, it's time to go - someone is waiting for you, isn't it?"

An Mixiu didn't interrupt, just quietly listening to the couple's story about the past - he also wanted to know about the immortal knight, which had nothing to do with Lei Shi, but also had something to do with it.

Uh... An Mixiu felt that his mind was a little knotted. He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the story told by the couple, and there seemed to be nothing wrong. It was difficult for him to interrupt for a while—but the couple They didn't seem to intend to continue talking, and they smiled at him: "The Forest of the East is not a place that everyone can go to. It is a sacred place blessed by the frost dragon, even if the long-lived knight wants to go in." It took almost a month or so—my great-grandfather said so."

"Wait?" An Mixiu interrupted Madam's words eagerly, and looked at her with puzzled brows and eyes scratching her face in embarrassment: "Uh... What did you just say mean that he went in?"

"Yes, I went in." The woman's eyes were full of longing: "Great-grandfather said that the first time the immortal knight came was as early as when his great-grandfather was still alive. The giant dragons who have existed for a long time have formed a good relationship, and they are very good friends-it is also fate, that Mr. Knight seems to have calculated the time of his visit every time, and he came when his great-grandfather was around. His great-grandfather's great-grandfather came when he was around, and he's still here in his generation."

"It's just a pity." The boss, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head and breathed out smoke rings, and said in a tone of sighing: "He didn't come in our generation, and great-grandfather waited for so long in vain."

The small hotel was quiet, only the sound of firewood crackling in the stove echoed in the not-so-bright environment.

The boss stood up and patted An Mixiu on the shoulder: "Young man, if you want to know about Dongfang Forest, we will tell you about it in detail tomorrow—it's in return for you listening to our husband and wife chatting about family affairs here."

The woman covered her mouth and laughed softly, the fine lines on her hands were obscured by the firelight, and her smile was full of ease: "There are very few handsome, young and skilled adventurers like you who are willing to listen to us. The old couple chattered."

An Mixiu waved his hand, blushing with embarrassment, he finally couldn't help but asked curiously: "Uh...may I know why your great-grandfather still wants to see that long-lived knight?"

"This..." The woman didn't mind his rudeness, she just smiled and held up the candlestick that was originally placed on the table and handed it to An Mixiu: "The old man should come out tomorrow to take a look, you might as well ask ——Ah, because the knight came with the snow every time, so the great-grandfather would usually come out to take a look after the heavy snow fell.”

An Mixiu blinked—is it really because he is not a human being that no one can know what human beings think?He felt that this person's desire to see An Mixiu was about to turn into an obsession.

It's a pity that tonight is not Christmas Eve.

An Mixiu was stunned when he heard the sound of footsteps echoing in the corridor of the hotel and woke up immediately - no one here likes to sneak out in the middle of the night to watch the moonlight.

Of course, there is no moon tonight, and its bright brilliance is covered by the violent wind and snow behind the thick clouds, and it is unknown when it will emerge again.

An Mixiu lay on the door silently counting the number of people in the corridor, and his curiosity was bubbling to know what they were doing—or what they were looking for.

He is just a person who has just turned from a teenager to a young man, and he still can't help but keep young people's curiosity about new things in his heart.

An Mixiu heard the sound of going downstairs, at this moment he finally couldn't help his curiosity and carefully opened the door silently with a gap, just enough for him to expose one eye to observe the outside environment.

He saw orange-red torches illuminating a small piece of ground around the stairs in the dark. Several middle-aged people in thick black jackets were descending from the second floor of the small hotel to the first floor. They seemed to be looking for something.

One person suddenly turned his eyes to An Mixiu's direction, which frightened An Mixiu into a cold sweat, but that person actually showed a very puzzled look, as if he had seen something that puzzled him.

"Jode! What are you dawdling on?" His companion shouted from downstairs, and the man called Joad turned his head and looked at his companion, shaking his head, and said in confusion: "It's nothing, I just saw a door there It's open—I remember it was closed when we walked past."

"How could it be?" His companion smiled, stepped upstairs and glanced at An Mixiu's direction, and then patted Joad on the shoulder: "Hey buddy! You are just too nervous, relax—you know we His actions are very covert, and it is absolutely impossible to be discovered." Then he patted Joad, who was still a little dazed, and went downstairs first: "Let's go, buddy, no one will be there."

"Well, you're right buddy." Joad glanced at the crack of the door where An Mixiu was for the last time, shrugged and went downstairs, "Maybe I'm really too nervous and overthinking."

An Mixiu blinked, and finally began to relax his muscles - he was really frightened just now, he didn't even think of avoiding the moment when the two came over, he just carefully held his breath and watched the communication between the two nervously .

Then, during the conversation between the two, they suddenly heard that they couldn't see themselves before blinking, and finally remembered the powerful ignore that his master gave him before he died, which he had forgotten for a long time before this time. curse.

At that time, he finally began to breathe the fresh air carefully, and slowly relaxed while blinking his sore eyes, but he was worried that someone among them might find him and dared not relax completely.

But the result is still good. Those two people didn't notice the existence of An Mixiu, which made An Mixiu's heart move-these people couldn't find him, so, does it mean that he went downstairs to see them now? Looking for something without being found?

His heart was pounding in his chest, and his aurora-colored eyes lit a small fire of excitement. He carefully opened the door and slipped to the side of the stairs to stick his head out to watch a group of people downstairs carefully rummaging through boxes and boxes.

After taking a few deep breaths, he took a step towards the first flight of stairs, and the small creaking sound of the wooden steps scared An Mixiu back to his feet carefully.
