Since Kui was born, he has been staying in D's pet shop. Similarly, Kui Niu clan is with him.

For various reasons, Kui Niu, a race with a relatively small population, has seen fewer and fewer newborns in recent years.

Kui was born in this state. As one of the few newborn cubs of the Kui Niu clan for several years, Kui was raised by almost everyone in the clan.

Kui, who grew up doted on by the tribe, was not cultivated to be lawless, but he was still considered a little devil in the tribe, chasing birds and plucking their feathers in the store, releasing lightning to scare cats and dogs, etc. This kind of thing has not been done infrequently.

But no matter how big the store is, there is only such a small space, and no matter how many animals there are, after a long time, I can get a rough idea. Kui began to be curious about the outside world.

Since he was sensible, he was often warned that the outside world is very dangerous, and he must not leave this store until he is an adult. Although he is naughty, he has always followed the rules. However, watching the animals in the store go out one by one, there is a feeling. Some came back and some had no news, and his heart to go out became agitated again.

What is it like outside?

"Outside," a snake came back from the outside said to him, "outside is very big, there are many things that don't exist here, and human beings are also very interesting creatures." The snake said lazily, " But this kind of creature can sometimes become very scary, so it's better for a cub like you not to run around."

"Actually, the outside is not as scary as they say," said another rabbit who came back from the outside. "If someone likes you, he will give you a lot of food, but sometimes too much can become a kind of sweetness." burden."

The other rabbits in the room nodded their heads in agreement, but Kui still half-understood.

"Everyone says the scenery outside is different, so you have to see it yourself." The tortoise, who had lived for an unknown amount of time, slowly crawled past him, and then retreated back after half the time to warn. , "But don't go out now just out of curiosity, it's still too dangerous for you now."

Probably there was a so-called rebellious period when he was a cub of a strange beast. He had heard a lot about not being able to go out before he was an adult, but Kui felt a desire to break this bondage.

Everyone said that he was a cub, and it was very dangerous for him outside, but as a kui ox, he can now summon lightning when his body appears, although he is still weaker than the adult kui ox in the clan That's a little bit, but it's enough to deal with humans!

So with this in mind, when none of the Tian people and D were paying attention, he turned into a human cub and sneaked out of the pet shop.

The outside world is really big, many times bigger than the inside of the store. There are things that are not in the store everywhere, passing vehicles, people in a hurry, towering floors, and big screens showing gorgeous pictures. .

These are things and scenes that he has never been exposed to.

Looking at his own shadow reflected on the transparent window, he is now no different from a human cub. Each of these humans is doing their own thing in a hurry, and they will never notice this strange beast mixed in the crowd.

Letting go of the last bit of hesitation, Kui started running around the street.

Running and running, I accidentally lost my way.

Standing on an unfamiliar street, surrounded by people coming and going, but he didn't dare to ask. In an instant, a feeling of panic swept over his whole body.

The animals in the shop were right, the outside was too big and too dangerous for him, and his gifts, his abilities, were useless here.Now that he was standing here, he was deeply aware of his own powerlessness.

As the time passed, he kept searching on the street, but he couldn't find the way back. In the end, he was exhausted and could only sit on the street corner with his knees hugged, like a poor little guy who was abandoned.

"Are you lost?" A childish voice sounded beside him, and a small white hand was stretched out in front of him. Kui raised his head and saw the cute child, "Did you get separated from your family?"

Kui shook his head, his expression still vigilant.

He still remembered what the snake said to him. Human beings can sometimes be scary, so even if there is a cub like him on the opposite side, you can't take it lightly.

"Master, what's the matter?" At this moment, Kui noticed that there was a car parked behind the boy who was reaching out to him. A man much taller than them got out of the car, glanced at him and turned to the boy. Said, "We have to go back quickly, depending on the time, the owner and wife are going back soon."

"But he seems to need help." The boy looked a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly had an idea, and said to him, "Why don't you go back with me!"

"This..." The tall man had an uneasy expression when he heard that, he took the patriarch's precious lump out of the house and picked up a child of unknown origin, maybe he will be punished!

"It's okay!" The little boy seemed to know the man's concerns and said, "Daddy, he won't blame me, and he won't blame you either." Then he handed Kui his hand, "Come home with me, How about I ask my dad to help you find your family?"

Maybe it was because the little boy's smile was too sincere at that time, Kui took the hand stretched out to him as the only straw at that time, and then put his own hand into the other's palm.

When he arrived at the boy's house, Kui wrapped himself in the heavy curtains in the other's room and refused to come out.

The other party persuaded him for a long time, and seeing that he refused to stand up, he said helplessly: "In that case, I'll go eat, and I'll bring you something to eat later!"

There was the sound of footsteps, followed by the opening and closing of the door, and there was a pause for a while when there was no sound in the room before Kui bared his head.

"I knew you would come out after I left!" The child who thought he had gone out a long time ago rushed over with a smile, and pulled him out of the curtain with hands and feet.

"Huh? Are your ears different from before?"

"Don't come here!" The moment the boy's hand was about to approach his ear, an electric current suddenly appeared, and the boy's fingertips were inevitably shocked, and immediately the fingertips and the corners of his eyes turned red.

"I'm sorry... I, I'm not..." It wasn't intentional...

Before he finished speaking, the boy in front of him gave him a hard look with his red eyes, then turned and left.

Kui wanted to chase after him to apologize, but now because of his lack of strength, he can no longer maintain the transformed posture. Now it is the ears. After a while, the nose and mouth may have to return to their original shape.

Will the boy still accept himself by then?Will he still be as friendly to himself as he was on the street before?Just now he let the other party discover the difference between him and the other party. Will the other party regard him as a monster?

Thinking of the admonitions given to him by the tribe and other people in the store, he felt that he should leave now, otherwise if the boy ran out and found other people to come in, and seeing him like this, he would probably never leave again. Can't go back to the pet store.

But when he made up his mind to leave, the image of the boy reaching out to him just now flashed across his mind. For some reason, he always felt that the boy was a little different from the human beings described by the tribe.

After hesitating, the sound of opening the door came from behind him, and Kui tightened the curtains again in horror, not knowing whether he regretted not running a little longer just now, or was looking forward to more scenes after the boy came back.

The curtains on his body were pulled, and the boy still sounded aggrieved: "Although you hurt me just now, I decided to forgive you."

Seeing that Kui was still hiding in the curtains, the boy outside was also a little anxious: "Come out, I promise I won't blame you, I won't beat you, there is no one else outside except me!"

"I also brought you something to eat." There was a sound of clinking bowls and spoons, and the aroma of the food brought in by the boy became stronger, "Aren't you hungry?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud 'grunt' sound from the curtains.

The two children inside and outside the curtain were taken aback for a moment, then the boy let out a burst of laughter, and then the curtain shook slightly, and a moment later, a flushed face appeared behind the curtain.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Kui asked softly, "I'm different from you, I might become scary in a while..."

"Why should I be afraid of you?" The boy widened his eyes, as if surprised, "Will you eat me?"

"Of course not!" Kui explained excitedly, even showing half of his body, and then retracted nervously.

"That's good!" The boy laughed again after finishing speaking, "My mother told me many stories. She said that there are many creatures in the world besides people. Some rabbits become people, and some kittens become people. What about you? What changed you? Is it a unicorn? Or a sika deer?"

Kui shook his head and replied, "None, I am Kui Niu."

"Kui, Niu..." The boy read out these two words with difficulty, his expression a little frustrated, "It's so hard to pronounce, is this your name?"

"No, my name is Kui."

"Kui is so easy to read!" The boy's slightly wrinkled face brightened instantly, and he simply pulled Kui out of the curtain, "My name is Qingshuiheshu, you can call me Heshu, come and give me Tell me about your business!"

…………

"Although he had forgotten about his childhood when we met later, I still remember it very clearly." Kui looked up at D, his tone full of nostalgia, "I remember crying when you came here to take me away After a long while, people in the clan finally persuaded me to come to him after I became an adult, so I stopped making trouble."

"It was my negligence that caused you to fall into this hopeless relationship." D sighed, "But even so, you don't need to repay him in this way."

Kui smiled, but there was some bitterness in his smile unconsciously: "If he hadn't picked me up at the beginning, I might not have survived to this day."

At that time, he ran out when his transformation state was extremely unstable. Fortunately, he met He Shu. If it was replaced by someone else, he would not be sure how he would react.

When encountering a monster, call the police, kill it on the spot, take a photo and post it on the Internet to make things ferment, all of these may happen.

And for a cub who can only emit a little electric current, it is impossible to resist.

So he felt that he was very lucky to meet Heshu at that time, and many years later, even if Heshu no longer remembered what happened back then, when he stood in front of him again, this time, he chose to extend his hand first.

"So, D, don't stop me." Kui already had a small knife in his hand at some point, and he tried the tip of the knife with the other hand and seemed very satisfied, "When everything is settled, if he If you go to find you again, just tell him I'm leaving."

"I think you should ask his opinion." D said, "Maybe he doesn't want you to pay like this."

"The things left by his parents are very important to Kazuki, as well as the Shimizu family..." Kui's eyes were fixed on the tip of the knife, and the sun was shining on it for a moment, and he closed his eyes, his tone was sour, "Other I can't help him, I only have this body, so if I can help him, it would be great."

D stopped talking, while Kui stared at the knife in his hand for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, a trace of determination crossed his face, and then he thrust the knife hard into his chest.

"Wait!" Hua Yao, who rushed over after hearing the message from the system, saw this scene as soon as he arrived, and was so frightened that he didn't bother to hide it, so he opened the picture scroll on his phone, and the four of them held back for a long time Before the Asuka had time to take a breath, it was directed by Hua Niao to fly towards Kui.

"Ding!" The knife made a crisp sound when it was knocked to the ground, and a little blood splashed out, splashing all over Kui's clothes and the ground.

After all, Hua Niao was a little late, the knife had already been inserted a little, and the blood that flowed out after being knocked away by the bird seemed a little surprising.

"Kui?!" There was another exclamation behind him, Hua Niao controlled the demon power to heal Kui, while looking back, he saw that Jiu Tun had brought Kazuki over at some point, and saw that Kui was injured He rushed over with a face full of panic.

"It took a while to go back and bring this kid here." Jiu Tun pulled Hua Niao, then found a tree and leaned against it, "Let the two of them solve their own affairs, we can just watch." gone."

At this time, the wound on Kui's body was almost healed. Fortunately, it was not a serious injury and did not consume much demon power, but when he recalled Asuka, Hua Niao still broke out in a cold sweat.

They were all frightened by Kui.

He couldn't imagine what kind of scene he would see if he came a step late, but he was a little surprised that D was by his side and didn't stop him.

"It's such a surprise. It's lucky to have you in this kind of situation." D leaned over at some point and said in a low voice, "It was a great help."

Hua Niao turned her head to look at D, but the other party had already focused on her four birds and stopped talking.

On the other side, He Shu checked Kui's wound and saw that although there was blood on the other's clothes, the wound had healed. He was finally relieved, and then he held the other's collar tightly, lowered his head and asked in a trembling voice: " Mr. Shuten said, you want to use your own skin to make me a drum, is that true?"

Kui was caught off guard by Heshu's sudden arrival, and he was caught by the other party for self-mutilation. He was also a little at a loss, hesitated for a while and nodded slightly.

"You...are you stupid!" He Shu's body trembled more intensely, and Kui wanted to hug him into his arms with some distress, but He Shu opened his hand, "Why didn't you ask me before you did this?" Ask me? Do you think this is great? Do you think...do you think I will appreciate you?"

"I won't! I won't be grateful to you at all! I will hate you!" He Shu grabbed Kui's collar fiercely, and when he raised his head, his face was extremely sad, his eyes were red and tears kept flowing It dripped down his cheeks and hit Kui's heart straight.

"Heshu, don't cry..." Kui reached out his hand clumsily to wipe the other party's tears, but was avoided by the other party again, "I just want to help you..."

"Don't Heshu really want to take back what Shimizu's family and parents left behind?"

"I don't need it!" He Shu seemed to be heartbroken to the extreme, his back could no longer maintain an upright posture, and he arched his back slightly, as if there was an unbearable weight behind him, "It doesn't matter if it's Qingshui's house or what your parents left behind. , How can they, how can they compare to you?"

"Why don't you understand?" The last cry seemed to be from the deepest part, but the voice was low and hoarse and terrible, Heshu was sobbing intermittently, and his thin body trembled violently every time he took a breath. He rested his head weakly on the blood-stained place on Kui's body, his voice was almost inaudible, "You really don't understand?"

"I understand." Kui stretched out his arms to hug the young man in his arms, and there was water in his eyes.

He understood, so he didn't ask the other party, didn't want the other party to make a choice, and even wanted to complete all this in a place where the other party could not see.

"Let's get out of here." He Shu's emotions gradually calmed down, but he still didn't lift his head from the other party's arms, and the arms around the other party's waist became tighter and tighter, as if the other party would disappear as soon as he let go, " I don’t want Kuigu anymore, and I don’t want the Qingshui family either.”

"But what about your parents' token of love?"

"Money can be earned slowly. I have hands and feet. Naturally, I don't need to live only by inheriting the Qingshui family." He Shu wiped away his tears with a firm tone, "When I earn enough money, I will give away the token of love from my parents. Redeem it, and I don't care about the rest."

"But..." Kui wanted to say something, but D who was not far away slowly walked over and clapped his hands slowly.

"Congratulations to both of you, you have passed the test of the Kui Niu clan."

what?

At this moment, not to mention the young couple who have just experienced a life-and-death parting, even Hua Niao was a little confused by D's words.

"What the hell is going on? What is a test?" Kui seemed to have guessed something, and his tone became a little dangerous.

"This is a test specially set by Kui's family for the people and their lovers after falling in love with humans!" D spread his hands helplessly, "Actually, I don't want to be this bad guy, but your people are afraid of you Hate them afterwards, so I was pushed out."

"What about Kuigu?" He Shu still had tears in the corner of his eyes, and he looked at D in a daze.

"If you have this, you can play it." As he said, D handed over the two drumsticks, "The drumsticks left by the Qingshui family are fake, so the Kui drum cannot be played."

"As for the drum made of Kui ox hide, it is also true, but your drum is not broken, so there is no need to make it again."

"D you bastard!" Kui said with gritted teeth, "Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

"I said it was a test set by your family." D's expression was a little aggrieved, "This is also to prevent humans from greedy for the special skin and flesh of Kui Niu, and to ensure that Kui Niu who loves humans will not be cunning to the greatest extent. Deceived by the human race, he suffered a loss in the end and ended up in a tragic end."

"But now that the two of you have successfully completed the test, the Kui drum can also be played, and everything is happy, isn't it?"

The final ending was indeed good, but Kui felt that D's expression annoyed him.

"This is really... a turn of events, a bright future?" Hua Niao was also shocked by D's coquettish operation, no wonder he felt strange just now, thinking about it now, even if he and Jiu Tun dare not come, the other party should have made arrangements , Finally let Kazuki and Kui meet.

Fortunately, he had seriously thought about the solution just now, maybe he could try to summon a shikigami who can replace the Kui drum to confuse him, such as Tianxie Guihuang or something, that drum looks no different from the Kui drum.

"Don't blame D for this," He Shu was shocked by the unexpected surprise, and now he is still a little dazed, but after thinking about it carefully, he understands, "This rule is actually quite good, otherwise, if Kui encounters It would be bad if people gave up on Kui."

"I didn't know before!" Kui hugged Heshu and looked at the red and swollen eyes of the other party with some distress, "Those old men never told me about this!"

"It won't work if I tell you. What's more, not all Kui Niu will fall in love with humans. This rule only applies to you." D seems to be feeling a little bit, "In addition, after the matter here is resolved , you two might as well go back to the store and have a look, maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

"As long as it's not frightened!" Kui said angrily.

This matter finally came to an end, and on the way back, Hua Niao couldn't help feeling the epic love between the two.

"Very envious?" Jiu Tun asked seemingly unintentionally.

"It's okay." Hua Yan smiled, "I just think it's really rare that two people love each other so wholeheartedly."

"But it's too heavy to give up everything for the other party."

Just as Jiu Tun was about to continue to say something, he suddenly felt something and glanced in one direction, his eyes froze.

"come out!"

Hearing this, a person turned out from behind the tree, and called out with a complex expression: "Hua Niao..."

The author has something to say:

small theater--
