If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

"Ah! How annoying! How long will it take to find that drunkard!" Jue complained impatiently. They had been searching on this mountain for a whole day, and they didn't even smell a trace of alcohol, let alone Found the wine swallowed.

"Xiaojue, don't worry, maybe you can find it after a while." The others were just as irritable as Jue, only Yingcao was still comforting them patiently.

The group was tired after searching for so long, so they found a place with flat terrain and shaded by trees to rest for a while.They were all in a low mood, because they didn't know how long they would have to search to find Shuten.Therefore, no one spoke for a while.

"What's wrong with Hongye? It's worth you becoming like this for her?"

There was a complaint not far away, and it seemed to be Ibaraki?Everyone was excited, and suddenly they were full of energy. Just about to follow the sound, another drunken voice came.

"Hongye, Hongye is good anywhere!" Jiu Tun retorted inarticulately, "You, you must not hate Hongye!"

These two people are arguing over Hongye?Han Xiu and the others were stunned and missed the opportunity to appear in front of Jiuten and Ibaraki. When they wanted to go out again, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two.

"My friend Jiu Tun! Look at your current appearance, do you still have the slightest demeanor of a leader? Although you used to be addicted to alcohol, you never turned yourself into a puddle of mud! What's so good about that guy Hongye?" Ibaraki said The voice seemed to be suppressing anger, but the drunk Jiu Tun couldn't hear it, and he said drunkenly: "Hongye, Hongye! Hongye is so beautiful and generous, I have never seen a more beautiful person than her .”

Jiu Tun's pupils couldn't focus because he was drunk, but when he said this, he tried hard to look at Ibaraki with his sincere eyes, hoping that Ibaraki could feel the beauty of red leaves from his words.

"Hongye Hongye Hongye! You only have Hongye in your mouth! My friend Shuten, you are not only my friend, but also my king! Do you remember who you are? If you want to taste a woman because of loneliness, I Can arrange for you. Even I can take care of your loneliness."

Ibaraki's words were full of disappointment and heartache, but the few people listening in the corner wanted to poke their eardrums.What did they hear?Ibaraki has been by Jiuten's side forever, is it because he loves Jiuten so much?It's over, will they be silenced when they hear this secret?

"Hehehe." After listening to Ibaraki's words, Jiu Tun let out a series of inexplicable laughter from the depths of his throat. He squeezed Ibaraki's chin tightly with his right hand, and his eyes seemed to fall on the red tattoo on his face, "Oh, Ibaraki, you Take care of my loneliness yourself?"

The people listening to the corner couldn't bear it any longer at this time, they really couldn't listen anymore, Han Xiu waved to the others, motioning them to leave with him.One by one, they quietly left this place of right and wrong.But Yingcao seemed to be fascinated by what she heard, her big blue eyes were piercing, and she was even reluctant to leave when she left.

"You know that's not what I mean!" A vein popped out on Ibaraki's white forehead, and he unceremoniously knocked off Shuten's hand, "I mean I can fight with you!"

Shuten found it very boring, although Ibaraki often said words that were not shocking and endless, but he didn't realize the deep meaning of his words at all, and he couldn't even make a joke.He waved his hand like chasing flies: "Yes, I know." After speaking, Jiu Tun yawned and turned around to stop talking to Li Izuki.

However, Han Xiu and his party left too early and did not hear their conversation. Now they are worrying about how to approach these two people without being obtrusive.

"I didn't expect Shuten and Ibaraki to have such a relationship!" The little deer man's black pearl eyes flashed with interest.

"But don't you think that many things can be explained in this way?" Yingcao excitedly held the grass in her hand tightly, "And, and, don't you think they are a good match?"

"Yes, yes!" Deer Man nodded in agreement, but then his bright eyes dimmed, "But Shuten loves Hongye, Ibaraki is so pitiful."

"Ah!" Yingcao opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Jue hit her head hard, "Xiao Jue, why did you hit me?"

"Enough!" Jue's hand was still in the position where she just hit the firefly grass, as if she really wanted to do it again, she wailed helplessly, "What's wrong with the boys now?!"

Han Xiu, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded: "You, you, him, them?"

"What's the matter, why can't you talk anymore?" Little Deer Man turned around and looked at Han Xiu, guiding him gently, "Don't worry, calm down first, think about what you want to say, and then think about what to do Express. Don’t be in a hurry, the more you are in a hurry, the easier it is to make mistakes.”

Han Xiu opened his mouth and closed it tightly. It took him a while to find his voice: "Isn't the point that both of them are male? Could it be that they are hermaphrodite?"

Even Jue, who had just wailed, was surprised by Han Xiu's fuss, but then he was relieved when he thought that he came from a different place. "Hermaphrodite? Thank you for thinking it out!" Jue imitated Han Xiu's tone exaggeratedly, "Which monster have you ever seen that is androgynous?"

"Oh, except for plants." Jue glanced at Yingcao and added.

Han Xiu was at a loss for words, and he blushed for a while and choked out a sentence: "There are very few hermaphrodites in plants."

"Oh, Xiaojue, don't bully people!" Yingcao didn't notice Jue's little gesture just now, and gently reassured Han Xiu, "In our place, there are many monsters and monsters who choose to be with the same sex."

"But," Han Xiu didn't know what to say, so he said dryly, "Why?"

"Well, it's actually not that many!" Yingcao covered the lower half of her face with the grass in her hand, only showing a pair of bright and scary eyes, "but it's very normal for same-sex monsters to be together. As for why Is it? Probably because monsters don’t want to reproduce.”

Yingcao's answer made Han Xiu even more confused, Jue sneered and said directly: "No monster is willing to spend its own strength to raise offspring, so it doesn't matter whether the partner is male or female."

Han Xiu swallowed his saliva in silence, as if he understood, but also didn't seem to understand.

"Oh, if we monsters want a descendant who is also a monster, we will have to pay a huge price! At least it will lose strength, and at worst it will shorten lifespan." Yingcao added some content after hearing Juejue's rough explanation, "All Few monsters choose to raise offspring. Since offspring are no longer important, what does it matter if the partner is male or female?"

Han Xiu understood what they meant, then turned to the little deer man and asked, "You think so too?"

The little deer man tilted his head and didn't understand why Han Xiu asked him this question: "Of course, I'm also a local monster!"

Han Xiu seemed to have suffered a strong shock, and stood still for a long time. After a while, he changed the subject abruptly: "I thought of a way to get close to Shuten Ibaraki." Although the intention of changing the subject was obvious, the rest of the people However, he was still attracted by what he said.

"It's been so long now, and their quarrel so far should almost be over. We pretended that nothing happened and walked in the direction just now. Then I felt impatient and complained that I couldn't find Shuten after searching for a long time. Where, it’s better to talk while running, make the movement a little louder, and then Yingcao will keep talking to Jue. In this way, even if they are still arguing now, they will stop before we arrive.”

After speaking, Han Xiu took a deep breath, and said to the other three earnestly: "Remember, the most important point is that we must maintain a normal attitude and look at them, and we must not be discovered by them that we eavesdropped on their conversation, otherwise We can't stand them getting angry!"

The three of them remembered the fear of being dominated by the ghostly hands of Ibaraki Hell that day, and trembled in fright, they replied repeatedly: "Definitely!"

So the four of them walked to the place where the two were, and after walking for a while, they complained loudly: "Ah! How long will it take to find Shuten! I don't want to look for it anymore! I can't find that guy at all! I want to go back!"

"Don't be in a hurry, Xiaojue, look for a while, maybe you'll find it if you look for a while!" Yingcao persuaded him not very attentively.

"Who?" The sudden sound of Ibaraki's voice startled everyone, they didn't expect that Ibaraki would immediately respond to their noise, and they were frightened and fell silent.

Han Xiu had an idea, and happily replied: "This should be Ibaraki's voice! He is here! Shuten should be here too!" After speaking, he led the others and ran towards Ibaraki, as if he was afraid that he would disappear.

Ibaraki looked at the four people who suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, frowned and said, "How many of you are there again? Shuten should have made it very clear, he doesn't care about your affairs!"

"That, that," Yingcao's face had a strange red light, he turned his head and glanced at Ibaraki secretly from the corner of his eye, "This time, this time we brought news about Hongye."

Ibaraki's eyebrows frowned even deeper. Just as he was about to say something, Shuten, who was sleeping next to him, woke up and said to the four of them in a bad tone, "What news are you talking about?"

"It's unfortunate, but we have to tell you that Hongye was taken away by the ghost-faced man." Han Xiu had a keen sense that something was wrong, but he still bit the bullet and told Jiu Tun the news.Jiu Tun stood up with a cold snort, and approached Han Xiu step by step.He stood firmly in front of Han Xiu, with a look of disgust flashing across his face, he raised his arm and smashed the wine gourd on his back viciously like Han Xiu.

Han Xiu's pupils shrank, and he quickly hid to the side. That's when everyone saw Jiu Tun's wine gourd with a bloody mouth open at the bottom, waiting to be fed!The little deer man on the side shouted anxiously: "What are you doing! We told you the news about Hongye, why do you want to hurt us instead?"

Jiu Tun still wanted to continue attacking after a single blow, but stopped when he heard the little deer man shouting, he looked at the little deer man with contempt: "If you want to get my help, you have to find out the information. Don't you Do you know that Hongye died long ago? How could a dead person be caught by the so-called ghost-faced man?"
