Phaseless Demon

Calling out the name Lu Ning, He Qianjue hugged the lone wolf for a long time, but the lone wolf didn't respond to He Qianjue. It continued to stare at He Qianjue with its blood-red eyes for a long time, and finally scratched He Qianjue's body with its paws. body, opened his mouth and bit He Qianjue's back collar, as if he was holding a little wolf cub, and picked up He Qianjue's entire body.

This wolf was really huge, He Qianjue was as small as a dumpling in front of it, and He Qianjue also instinctively shrunk himself into a dumpling, and was led by the lone wolf into the depths of the woods.

After walking a few steps, the lone wolf seemed to find it inconvenient to hold He Qianjue in his mouth, so he put him down again and let him climb up his back, so that he could carry He Qianjue forward.

The lone wolf's fur was very soft and thick, fluffy and warm. He Qianjue liked it very much. He lay on its back and buried his face in its fur.He could faintly hear the heartbeat of the lone wolf, just as he could hear the fawn's heartbeat every time he held the fawn.

"Are you really Lu Ning?" Although He Qianjue asked this, he was actually sure in his heart that this lone wolf was Lu Ning.

Even though He Qianjue is only a child now, he has no doubts in his intuition at this moment. He firmly believes that this lone wolf is the Lu Ning he has been thinking about, although he doesn't understand why Lu Ning can change from a young deer to a wolf. A big hungry wolf, but the familiar blood-red eyes of the other party made He Qianjue couldn't help but trust it.

However, even with trust, He Qianjue still wanted a definite answer.

The lone wolf seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly opening its mouth. Its voice was calm, even a little cold and heartless, but at the same time it was extremely gentle. It whispered: "I am Lu Ning."

After hearing the confirmation, He Qianjue became happy again, opened his arms and hugged the lone wolf's body tightly, rubbed against its back twice, and shouted excitedly: "Lv Ning can talk! Great! Lv Ning can talk!" talk to me!"

He Qianjue once had this kind of hope. He hoped that Lu Ning could communicate with him like a human being. Although many of Lu Ning's meanings can be expressed through body language, direct verbal communication is the best way to communicate. , Maybe every child has such a hope in childhood, to have a close friend who can talk about everything, a best friend who can never be separated and go anywhere hand in hand.

So He Qianjue was really happy to hear that Lv Ning could really talk to him. His happiness came so easily, as if he had never had any troubles.He didn't even wonder how terrible or frightening it was that a wolf could actually talk. He hugged the lone wolf's muscular body and immersed himself in pure fun.

When Lu Ning carried him into a cave where he lived, Lu Ning found that He Qianjue on his back had fallen asleep. He was froze in the snow, and now holding Lu Ning who was warm, he couldn't help crying Relax, the double relaxation of mind and body makes the child fall asleep immediately.

Lv Ning carried He Qianjue on his back to find a warm and dry place deep in the cave, where the specially arranged hay was spread, and then he lay down on the hay, allowing He Qianjue on his back to slide down naturally, and then Lv Ning used his body to Surrounding He Qianjue, he stuck out his tongue and licked He Qianjue's forehead and face.

Normal body temperature, no fever.

Lv Ning breathed a sigh of relief, picked up some hay and covered He Qianjue. It knew that it had to find a way to make a fire. Although it could avoid the wind and snow in this cave, it was still too cold inside.A child like He Qianjue couldn't resist the cold at all.

But using a wolf's body is not very good for starting a fire. After all, there are no hands as flexible as humans, so Lu Ning stared at He Qianjue for a while, and vaguely had an idea in his heart.

Lu Ning nestled next to He Qianjue for a while, making sure that He Qianjue was fast asleep, his body was stained with his own smell, and his body was warmed by Lu Ning, so Lu Ning added some hay to He Qianjue to cover him, and then got up , and immediately walked to He Qianjue's side.

Lu Ning walked out of the entrance of the cave and began to run towards the snow. It looked around for dry branches and some stones that could be used to make fire, that is, flint, and some ordinary stones.It held them in its mouth and brought them back one by one. It used its paws to clear out a clean place without excess weeds in the cave, and piled up all the firewood and stones it brought back.

After the things were ready, Lu Ning found a broken and dirty brown fur cloak from the cave. This was obtained by Lu Ning in an abandoned hunter's hut, but this cloak has been around for a long time, and there are still Many holes and bloodstains, exuding a foul smell.

Lu Ning didn't dislike it, she covered herself with the cloak in her mouth, and then muttered a few words to He Qianjue, then a miraculous thing happened, and the big bad wolf in the cave disappeared, and it was in place. What appeared was a boy who was completely naked except for the shabby windbreaker he was wearing, a boy who looked exactly like He Qianjue.

This boy did look exactly like He Qianjue, with exactly the same height, shape, face and appearance.Except for the indifferent expression on his face, which made him look a little like an eight-year-old child, no matter how you looked at the rest, this was the real He Qianjue.

But he is not He Qianjue, he is Lv Ning, just borrowed He Qianjue's appearance and body, so that Lv Ning can have a pair of nimble hands like a human.

However, after becoming a human being, there is no thick fur and strong body like a gray wolf that can keep out the cold, and the cold seeps in from all directions. Feeling the strange cold, Lu Ning couldn't help wrapping her dirty cloak tightly , Then squatted beside the stone pile, piled firewood in it, and lit it with flint.

This is the first time that Lu Ning has learned how to light a fire to keep warm like a human being. Although it is the first time, he did a good job. The flame quickly burned in the pile of stones, and the warm fire light suddenly lit up the dim cave. Liang, Lu Ning felt the fascinating temperature up close. He stared at the flames, and even his blood-red eyes seemed to glow with fire.

"Lu Ning?" At this time, He Qianjue, who was sleeping in the haystack, woke up, probably because he was woken up by the knocking sound when Lu Ning hit the flint hard before. He Qianjue got up in a daze, and he also saw the light of the fire , subconsciously crawled towards the place where the fire was lit, saw Lu Ning who was covered with a fur cloak, and subconsciously yelled.

When Lu Ning turned his head, He Qianjue saw the other person's face exactly like his own.

He Qianjue accepted the image of the young deer very quickly, because the young deer is really cute, and it looks very lively even at a small size, like an elf. What's more, the other party can see through his thoughts, making He Qianjue even a little bit resistant. No.

Although the image of the gray wolf was a bit scary, the strong body and warm fur gave He Qianjue an extraordinary sense of security, making He Qianjue forget his fear in an instant, and accepted the gray wolf without any grudges.

Instead, it was Lv Ning who was now holding He Qianjue's body, but it gave He Qianjue a shock.

Seeing "another self" appearing in front of him without any warning was undoubtedly a horrifying scene, and He Qianjue was no exception. He shrank back in fright and looked at Lu Ning in fear until he realized that Lv Ning's blood-red eyes relaxed a little.

"You..." He Qianjue asked cautiously, "Are you also Lu Ning?"

This sentence inexplicably made Lv Ning laugh, his smile was very shallow, matched with his blood red eyes, it unexpectedly gave people an illusion of surprise.

He didn't answer He Qianjue's question immediately, but stretched out his hand to He Qianjue, as if inviting He Qianjue over.His invitation made the little Qian Jue hesitate a little, but he quickly let go of his vigilance and obediently crawled over.

He Qianjue, who crawled over, put his paws on Lu Ning's palm subconsciously, and was held by Lu Ning and then pulled hard. He Qianjue was pulled over like this, and was hugged by Lu Ning.He Qianjue was still a little dazed when he was hugged, he was dumbfounded for a moment, and then obediently hugged Lv Ning with his backhand.

Lu Ning whispered in his ear: "It's so cold, let me hug you." The human body has almost no ability to keep out the cold, it is too cold.

His voice was still cold and indifferent, but still very gentle.

He Qianjue was a little happy, hugged Lu Ning even tighter, and rubbed against Lu Ning's body vigorously, trying to transmit his own warmth to Lu Ning as much as possible.

The two hugged each other for a while, and He Qianjue gradually got used to seeing Lu Ning's face that was exactly like his own. He was very curious, reached out to touch Lu Ning's face, and asked childishly: "Lv Ning, are you Isn't it going to transform?!"

Lu Ning tilted her head to look at him: "Transform?"

"It's like the kind of monster that Mr. Storyteller said!" He Qianjue smiled foolishly at Lu Ning, "Sir, some monsters can change 72 times! They can turn into birds, fish, snakes, tigers, anything!"

With that said, He Qianjue turned his face closer to look at Lv Ning: "Lv Ning, will you also change at 72?"

Lu Ning smiled again, and looked at He Qianjue tenderly: "Yes, I will change 72 too."

"It's great! It's amazing!" He Qianjue cheered, hugged Lu Ning and said, "So you can also become like me, right!?"

"Aren't I just like you now?" Lv Ning pulled up the windbreaker on her body, covering herself and He Qianjue.

He Qianjue rubbed his face against Lv Ning's neck, his voice suddenly became depressed again, and said, "I want to be with you, Lv Ning, all the time."

"Yes." Lu Ning said, "You can stay with me forever."

But He Qianjue shook his head sadly: "But my father wants to take me away."

"Take you away?" Lu Ning entered without knowing, looking down at He Qianjue in his arms: "Where are you going?"

"Hmm..." He Qianjue thought for a while, "Daddy said he would take me to the south."

"Doesn't Qian Jue want to go?" Lu Ning asked him.

He Qianjue shook his head, and hugged Lu Ning tightly again: "I want to be with Lu Ning, let's not separate, okay?"

He Qianjue rolled in Lu Ning's arms with a soft voice, and said, "We don't want to separate, so Lu Ning will come with me!"

This child is very good at acting like a baby, which is perhaps the best ability of all children, and Lu Ning spoils him so much, he patted He Qianjue's head, looked at him gently, and almost agreed.

But just when Lu Ning was about to open his mouth to agree to all of He Qianjue's demands, there were loud shouts outside the cave.

He Qianjue ran out of the He family compound in the middle of the night. When he sneaked out, he forgot to close the door of the back yard. Uncle Zhang, who was guarding the gate, found out. Seeing that the back door was open, Uncle Zhang thought that a thief had entered the house, but the He family The courtyard has been almost emptied, and there is nothing of value. What can a thief steal?

Although he was puzzled, Uncle Zhang dutifully patrolled the yard and found that the door of the young master's room was not closed. He immediately went in to check and found that He Qianjue was not in his room at all, and the bed in the room was also cold. No sign of anyone sleeping.

Uncle Zhang was in a hurry, thinking that someone sneaked into the yard and took the young master away, so he immediately ran to the door of He Jiuming, the head of the He family, and knocked on the door, and told He Jiuming what he saw and thought, He Jiuming knew that his son was gone , Immediately became anxious like ants on a frying pan, and began to search everywhere with drums and gongs.

Later, He Jiuming went directly to the nearby government office to report the case. The officials of the yamen in Mohe City had some friendship with He Jiuming. When they heard that something happened to He Jiuming's son, they immediately mobilized all the people in the yamen to help He Jiuming find his young master.

They knocked on doors from house to house and searched for them. It took most of the night, and finally the sky paid off. They soon got the news from the night watchman in Mohe City, saying that they saw a child wearing a coir raincoat and braved the heavy snow. He came out of the backyard of the He family and ran towards the west gate.

A group of people immediately searched for the traces of He Qianjue at the west city gate. After searching, they found a dog hole full of footprints and snow-covered in the corner of the city wall of the west city gate. Judging by the size of the hole, eight A [-]-year-old child should be able to get through, so they deduced that the young master of the He family probably went out of the city through this hole.

Realizing that his son might be out of the city, and thinking of the harsh weather outside the city, He Jiuming turned pale with worry. The prefect of the yamen who had a friendship with He Jiuming reached out and patted He Jiuming on the shoulder, and said to him: "Don't worry. , With such heavy snow, the child can’t run far, and we will find him soon.”

A group of people opened the west city gate again and went out to look for He Qianjue's shadow. They searched for the footprints and traces that He Qianjue left on the ground. Because the snow fell too heavily, the footprints would soon be slowly covered by snowflakes. Halfway through the search , the footprints almost disappeared, but looking at the direction in which the footprints extended, they roughly deduced that He Qianjue had gone up the Green Bamboo Mountain.

So they continued their efforts, and a group of people climbed up the Green Bamboo Mountain to continue looking for He Qianjue.

They yelled He Qianjue's name as they searched. He Qianjue, who was nesting in the cave with Lv Ning at the moment, heard the yelling outside, and seemed to recognize his father calling him among the voices, and knew that his father had come to look for him. up.

He Qianjue was excited at first, but not long after he became excited, he became a little nervous again, grabbed Lu Ning's arm, and said, "Lv Ning! Hurry up! Daddy is here to look for me, and he will take me away tomorrow... I I don't want to leave, Lu Ning... Will you come with me, Lu Ning?"

Lu Ning listened to the noisy shouts outside, and then looked at the little Qianjue in front of him. Qian Jue showed him pitiful and begging eyes. Lu Ning had no resistance to his gaze, so he just considered After a few seconds, Lu Ning stretched out his hand to hold He Qianjue's head, and smiled at He Qianjue: "Don't worry, I will always be with you, no matter where you go, I will follow you."

"Really!?" He Qianjue was very happy, and he showed a big smile when he was so happy.At this stage, He Qianjue has nothing else to think about, but wants to be with his best friend. Maybe at this moment, he not only regards Lu Ning as a friend, but also has other feelings. He holds Lu Ning tightly. Looking at Lv Ning's blood-red eyes fascinatedly, he said, "Lv Ning is so kind, Qian Jue likes you the most."

"Like?" Lu Ning couldn't understand this kind of feeling, but it didn't prevent him from experiencing it, so he also showed a gentle smile to He Qianjue, and said, "Lu Ning also likes Qian Jue."

He Qianjue became even happier, and rushed forward to hug Lv Ning, and kissed Lv Ning heavily on the cheek.

Lu Ning, who was taken advantage of, touched her face belatedly.

At this time, the noisy people outside were getting closer and closer. They may have noticed the faint fire and smoke coming out of the cave, and He Qianjue became more and more nervous. If you agree to take you away, I should make up a reason."

"There is no need for a reason." Lu Ning touched his face and said softly, "I changed back into the image of a deer, and you just need to hug me tightly. When people ask, they will say that you picked it up and want to keep it."

When Lv Ning said this, He Qianjue suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said, "That's right, that's good! Then I can take you away in a fair way!"

The two hit it off immediately, so before He Jiuming led a group of people into the cave, Lv Ning turned into the image of a young deer again, slipped into He Qianjue's arms, and let He Qianjue hug him tightly.He Qianjue liked the image of the young deer like Lv Ning very much, while hugging and touching the young deer's head, he also kissed him on the head.

When He Jiuming entered the cave, what he saw was his son curled up beside a fire with a small deer in his arms.

The group of people breathed a sigh of relief when they found the young master of the He family. He Jiuming immediately rushed up and hugged his son in his arms. If you make trouble or something, but the reprimand is the reprimand, he still holds his son tightly and does not let go.

He Qianjue also buried his head in his father's chest, and didn't say anything else, just kept calling "Daddy" in a childish voice.

After finally calming down, He Jiuming finally let go of his arms holding his son, carefully looked up and down his son to see if he was injured, and saw the young deer in his arms at a glance.

"What is this?" He Jiuming frowned and asked his son.

He Qianjue hugged the fawn in his arms tightly, and replied timidly: "I picked it up in the woods, it's mine... Daddy, don't throw it away!"

The magistrate of the yamen who followed He Jiuming also stepped forward to take a look, and said, "This seems to be a cub of a sika deer. It looks like it is only two months old. There is a small grassland opposite the green bamboo forest. There is indeed such a thing." Seed deer come and go, I’ve seen it before when I was hunting...however, it’s really strange, the calving stage of sika deer should be in the summer of May and June, this kind of seasonal climate...how can there be young deer?"

If it was normal, He Jiuming might allow his son to keep pets such as cats and dogs. It would not be a big deal to raise a deer, but not now. Said such a deer.

So He Jiuming knelt down and said to his son, "Qianjue, let it go, it must have its own parents."

"No!" He Qianjue immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "This is mine! I want him!"

He Jiuming put on a straight face and showed a serious posture: "Qianjue, don't mess around! I won't take care of this deer for you. If you want to raise it, you have to feed it yourself, bathe it yourself, and take it out for a walk. Will it? You can't even take care of yourself!"

He Qianjue was disobedient, and became stubborn: "I'm sure I can take care of him, I haven't tried it, how do I know it won't work, I don't care, I will take care of him!

He Qianjue started to fuss, the more his father disagreed, the more fussy he became, and he nearly rolled around on the ground holding the young deer in his arms.

Seeing the wind and snow outside getting bigger and bigger, the prefect next to him knew that time waits for no one, if they continue to spend in this cave, when the snow is heavy and the mountain is closed by heavy snow, it will be difficult for them to go down the mountain, so they follow Persuading him: "Mr. He, you can let him take it with you. Don't you like this kid now, and you will get tired of it in the future? Maybe someday you won't want it."

"I don't want Lv Ning!" He Qianjue yelled at the prefect angrily when he heard what the prefect said.

Tong Yan Wuji, the magistrate didn't take He Qianjue seriously at all, and said with a smile: "Oh, look! In just a short while, even the name has been given!"

After tossing around like this for a while, the time passed by every minute and every second, snowflakes fluttered outside the cave, and the cold wind made everyone in the cave tremble uncontrollably.In less than half a stick of incense, the snow piled up to a height of nearly half a foot, which could almost drown a child of He Qianjue's stature.

Therefore, He Jiuming is too lazy to care about his son's raising deer or not. Now their top priority is to find a way to go down the mountain.

The magistrate of the Yamen brought thirteen people up the mountain with He Jiuming to look for his son. Now there are only eight people in the cave including He Qianjue. I believe that the other eight people outside may have felt bad and went down the mountain early.

"My lord, it looks like we won't be able to leave tonight." The magistrate's subordinates poked the snow outside with the wooden stick they picked up, and the thickness of the snow did not reach the waist of a grown man.Even though the snow is already so heavy, Tiangong doesn't seem to know how to stop it. The goose feather snow keeps dancing, and he doesn't know when it will stop.

"What to do, it seems that we have to spend the night in this cave tonight, I don't know if we can stop tomorrow morning, if it keeps snowing, we will be trapped here."

He Jiuming started a discussion with the magistrate and his subordinates. They couldn't help but began to observe the cave where their group temporarily hid from the wind and snow.

"This seems to be some kind of beast's lair." The magistrate walked around the cave and found the bones of small animals, piled up dry grass and dead leaves in the cave, and immediately made a judgment. He said, "I used to be here often. For hunting nearby, there is no danger at the edge of the forest, but there are wolves living in the depths of the forest, and there are brown bears."

He Jiuming was also a little panicked, and said, "Then isn't it dangerous for us to stay here?"
