Decided to live by pretending to be a cat after being unemployed

Guan Lin was too absorbed in what he said, and he didn't notice that when he called this name, Gu Huaishan couldn't control his trembling eyelashes.

He lowered his eyes slightly to cover his expression, and at the same time, with a hint of concealment, he asked actively: "Who is he?"

Guan Lin didn't notice these strange things at all.His eyes were fixed on the stick figure in the mural, but he didn't actually focus on it.

He is looking at his past through this painting, his past with Gu Linyuan.

"He's my best best friend."

"It used to be."

Gu Linyuan is a human being who lives in Hulao Pass.

Hulaoguan is the settlement of the monster clan, but in fact, there are also humans living here.

There are many reasons. Although Hulao Pass is a closed barrier, it is impossible for the monsters inside the pass to completely cut off contact with the outside world. Apart from discussing with humans about plans to fight against the demons, they also have trade exchanges from time to time.

After coming and going, some small traders will choose to settle in Hulao Pass. Firstly, it is convenient to do business, and secondly, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there is no need to pay expensive taxes. Except for those monsters. Running around shirtless is indecent, and it's a good place to be.

In addition to these merchants, there are also some criminals who are not tolerated by the court, and they will hide here. The emperor's order does not work here, and only the gods and blood are obeyed here.

After the sinful officials who are anxious for justice, they will allow them to live here, they are not the kind of vicious and corrupt officials. Most of them are officials who were framed and implicated because of their political disagreements, or simply some The unwarranted literary inquisition was sentenced by the emperor to exterminate the clan, and he fled here.

Gu Linyuan was born in such a family. His mother came from a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River, and his father was a handsome young talent. This is also a man and a woman, a match made in heaven.

In the end, because Gu's father impromptuly mentioned a poem when he was drunk one day, and two words in it violated the emperor's taboo, he was branded a traitor and copied the whole family.

Gu Linyuan's father couldn't escape, but Gu's mother happened to be taking the five-year-old Gu Linyuan to visit relatives at his uncle's house at the time, and received the news in advance that he fled to Hulao Pass, escaped by luck, and then came to Hulao Pass like others Like human beings, they live in a mountain depression that is relatively close to the front line.

Being close to the front line means that there may be danger. If the demons sneak attack, this place is likely to suffer.But there is no way, the safest place to live is occupied by the monsters first, this is still the territory of the monsters.However, the monster race and the human race are not very familiar with each other's living habits, and it is impossible to live together in peace, so they can only choose to live in this mountain depression.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon King has been standing still in those years, and these people have not encountered any danger living in this mountain depression.

Gu's mother is an official girl who doesn't touch her hands. What she used to learn most was poetry, poetry and female red embroidery. When she arrived at Hulao Pass, she didn't know how to make a living. She had to raise Gu Linyuan alone. It didn't take long for the money to be wasted.

When she was at a loss, it was also a coincidence that she met Guan Leng and helped Guan Leng a lot.

That day, the family was completely out of food and money, and Gu's mother was determined to go to the mountains to find something to feed her hunger. She left Gu Linyuan at home, and went up the mountain alone.

She didn't plan to go far, but she underestimated the ruggedness of the mountain road, and got lost while walking. In the end, she walked farther and farther, and stumbled to the front line where there would be conflicts from time to time.

And when it was even more unlucky, she also happened to run into a group of sneaky magic army who were trying to advance close to the mountainside, not knowing what they were going to do.

She, a lady from an official family, has never seen such a battle, let alone demons, even seeing these harmless monsters in Hulao pass, she would shiver with fright.

She stayed where she was and didn't dare to make a sound. Fortunately, the magic army didn't find her and just left.

And she turned around and ran away immediately after the magic army left, she wanted to run home, she would rather not look for food, and not wander around in this dangerous place, but she couldn't find the way home at all, and ran around again , Accidentally bumped into another army, the army of Guan Lengdai.

After Guan Leng heard that the reason for her coming here was to get lost, she wanted to point out the way and let the other party go back by herself, but in the end, she heard the news that the other party had just seen the magic army.

Guan Leng's expression froze at that moment, the place Gu's mother pointed to should not have a magic army appearing in their defensive line.

But Gu's mother's panic expression did not seem to be lying, so it could only mean that there was a gap in their defense, and the enemy sneaked in.

Guan Leng made a decisive decision and led his troops to investigate around the defense line.

When I got there, I found that none of the monsters stationed there were left, and all of them had become broken and rotten corpses, but Guan Leng and the others never found out, because the magic army had deciphered their communication methods and had been pretending to be stationed there. The Yaozu sent false news that everything was normal.

On the surface, everything is normal, but the demon army team has sneaked into the hinterland of the demon clan.

This magic army will definitely be discovered in the end, but when they are discovered, they probably have caused great casualties. However, because Gu's mother got lost in this accident, their plan was exposed ahead of time, and they were taken away in time by Guan Leng. The soldiers encircled and suppressed, but nothing happened.

Although it was an accident to get lost, and it was unintentional to run into the demon army and report the military situation, what Gu's mother did was still a big favor to Guan Leng, and even a big favor to the monsters stationed at Hulao Pass. casualties.

Guan Leng wanted to express his gratitude for such a great kindness. When he learned that Gu's mother was living alone with her young son, making a living was difficult, she thought of a way to help take care of her.

Gu's mother can't hunt or farm, but she can be an embroiderer, and the patterns she makes are very delicate and interesting, like cloth tigers, knot pendants, sachets and purses, Guan Leng doesn't know how to do these, Most monsters don't know how to do this either.

The monster race advocates force, they are rude and barbaric, they don't know how to make such exquisite literary and artistic things, and they look down on humans who tinker with these useless things all day long, but Guan Leng feels that these embroidery gadgets of the human race are also somewhat interesting. People will probably like such toys.

Her name in the pass is very famous, and her words are also very influential. At first, the monsters dismissed these human things, but after Guan Leng publicized them, she turned them into a hot commodity, and the monsters rushed to buy them. .

Gu's mother had an income, and along with other single women like her who had struggled to make ends meet, they also found new means of earning a living.

In this way, Gu's mother's problem was solved, Guan Leng was entangled in affairs, and in the next few years, she never saw her again.

The next time we meet, it will be five years later, on the ruins slaughtered by the demon army.

The longer the confrontation between the two sides, the more the demons are ready to move, and their activities become more frequent and more insane. On that day five years later, they stepped across the Sishui and flattened the side where Gu's mother was. col.

When Guan Leng led the troops, it was too late, and there were corpses all over the ground, complete and broken.

But in this mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, there are only two survivors, one of them is Gu's mother, but she can only breathe her last breath. The lower half of her body has gone to nowhere, and the broken upper half of her body is full of blood. Blood, the brilliance in the eyes is getting dim, like a flame that is about to be extinguished.

But this ray of flame, which was about to be extinguished, burst into flames suddenly when it saw Guan Leng.

She grabbed Guan Leng's sleeve, and in a sad, begging tone, begged him to help her fulfill a mother's last wish in this world.

Let her son, Gu Linyuan, live.

Gu Linyuan was another survivor in the ruins. He was not injured, only blood was stained on his body.Mother Gu is kind to Guan Leng, this request is not too much, Guan Leng shouldn't refuse, but...

When she saw Gu Linyuan, looking at this ten-year-old child who had suffered such a disaster, not only did she have no thoughts of pity, she even subconsciously picked up the prison and pointed the tip of her gun at him.

Because she felt the demonic energy in the other party, dirty, evil, demonic energy.

The jailer could also feel this demonic energy, the sharp gun was fired, and the blazing sharpness frightened Gu Linyuan to the ground. He was flustered and at a loss, without the viciousness of a demon.

Gu's mother is a human being, and Gu Linyuan is just an ordinary human being. He survived this time because he was lucky. He was in the mountains when the demon army attacked.

When he came back, the mountain col had been trampled down by the demon army, blood was everywhere, his mother was lying in a pool of blood, and a demon was left on the ruins. The trash, the lowest and most useless demons.

While the other races were feasting and devouring these humans, it was pushed aside and was not qualified to serve on the dining table.Now that the full-fledged fellows have left, it has a chance to stay and eat some leftovers.

Originally, it was going to eat Gu's mother who was still breathing, but Gu Linyuan just came back at this time, and it immediately threw away the dying woman and went to eat this fresh toddler.

Gu's mother endured the severe pain at the fractured part of her body, and said to Gu Linyuan, "Run!"

The shout woke up Gu Linyuan who was stunned, but he didn't have time to run, the monster had already rushed in front of him, and in a hurry, he took the hatchet on the ground and stabbed at the monster.

I don't know if this demon is too wasteful or useless, but it was killed by such a ten-year-old boy.

The hatchet pierced the demon's body, and the demon's blood splashed all over Gu Linyuan's body, carrying the dirty and evil demonic energy.

But is this devilish energy only coming from the blood stains attached to Gu Linyuan's body?No, it's not.

Guan Leng could feel that these devilish energy had not only stayed on the surface, but integrated into the boy's body.

Even though she is the leader of the Bi An clan, she doesn't know why this happened, let alone what Gu Linyuan is at the moment.

person?

Or... the devil?

Gu Huaishan is still a human being at this moment. He doesn't have the ferocity and cold-bloodedness of a demon, but only the helplessness of a child. It doesn't seem harmful, but will he always be like this?Will the erosion of this demon energy become more serious, and will he become a demon completely in the end?

Guan Lengtong didn't know all these answers. It stands to reason that she shouldn't take this risk. She should be more ruthless and get rid of this hidden danger directly.

But she hesitated for a long time at the tip of Gu Linyuan's spear, but she didn't stab it after all.

Maybe it was because of Gu's mother's sad and desperate pleas when she was dying, or maybe it was this ten-year-old boy who reminded her of her younger brother who was about the same age and aroused the softness in her heart, she couldn't go on. hand.

She brought Gu Linyuan back to the clan. Both her parents died at the hands of the demon king, and countless clan friends died under the demon army on weekdays. Human beings are so considerate and caring. After bringing him back to the clan, she only guaranteed that Gu Linyuan would not starve to death or freeze to death, but she was not in the mood to take care of other aspects.

For example, what would those clansmen who also hated and hated demons do to Gu Linyuan.

The adults held their own status and would not attack such a child, but the cubs who were also underage had no scruples.

A few days after Gu Linyuan was brought back by Guan Leng, everyone knew about this strange human with a devilish aura.Guan Leng said that he is not a demon, but just stained with demon blood and corroded by demon energy, but most people don't agree in their hearts.

Even if Gu Linyuan's devilish energy is not heavy, it still exists after all. What is devilish energy?If it is a demon, it should be killed!

In such an era, there is no family that has no blood feud with the demons, and more or less relatives and friends have died at the hands of the demons.

On the third day after Gu Linyuan came, he was surrounded by a group of monster cubs who were about his age. A group of young wolves, tigers and leopards beat and bit him. He knew he couldn't resist, so he kept tightening his grip. bear with the body.

Just when he thought he would be beaten to death like this, Guan Rin saved him.

But in fact... Guan Lin didn't come here specially to save Gu Linyuan.

Both Zhao Xuanming and Lang Yan left, Guan Rin hated his useless self more and more, but he wanted to overcome his inner fear, but he didn't dare to cross the Sishui, let alone face the demons.

When he heard about Gu Linyuan, Guan Lin had an idea in his heart. He couldn't overcome his fear of demons. Maybe the demons he had seen in the past were too powerful. Each of them was tall and strong, with ferocious claws and teeth. It should start with something simple, such as Gu Linyuan.

I heard that Gu Linyuan looks like an ordinary human being, thin and short, without the ferocity and hideousness of a little devil, and looks easy to bully.

Guan Lin decided to bully... No, he was killing harm for the people, and so was his sister. How could he bring back such a person with demonic energy?

But now that Guan Leng has been brought back, Guan Lin wanted to show off Guan Leng's face, so he just beat Gu Linyuan up, gave him a warning, told him to be honest, and not to have any bad thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Although he has already decided to go, because of the weak devilish energy on the other party, Guan Rin has done a long time of psychological construction. When he finally mustered up the courage to go to Gu Linyuan and prepare to beat him up, he realized that he came Too late.

The others had almost finished a round of beating, and he missed it.

Outrageous!

With a roar, Guan Lin flew into the furry group, swiped his paws, and flicked his whip tail, forcing several nearby monsters to back away.

He has always been very good at fighting, but when facing demons, his whole body becomes stiff, like a piece of wood. Everyone says that he is a crook in the den, but a paper tiger outside, and they often laugh at him for this.

But no matter how much you laugh at it, it can't change the fact that Guan Lin's nest is really violent. Apart from his own ability to fight, his sister is also a reason. Everyone knows who Guan Leng is, and they also know that Guan Leng has such a good-for-nothing brother. To repair Guan Lin, one has to worry about Guan Leng.

Guan Leng may not directly intervene in the fights between these children, but the parents who worship Guan Leng in their respective families are short of setting up a statue of Guan Leng to worship. If you beat Guan Lin here, you will be beaten up by your parents when you go home.

So this time, when these cubs saw Guan Lin coming, although they were also very angry, they did not gang up on each other as brazenly as Gu Linyuan. Anyway, that demon is almost repaired, forget it today, they retreated in twos and threes .

Guan Lin turned around when almost everyone left, and looked at Gu Linyuan who was covered in bruises and his clothes were torn like a torn rag.

It's miserable.Guan Lin thought to himself, it was so miserable that he couldn't move.

But no, Guan Rin immediately reminded himself of the purpose of coming back, he wanted to prove himself from this weak demon.

He clenched his teeth, and his nails bounced off the paw pads. Seeing Gu Linyuan struggling to get up from the ground, he was going to pounce on him and knock him down after he got up.

But before he was ready to go, Gu Linyuan said to him first: "Thank you."

Low, showing weakness and weakness.

Guan Lin was stunned by Xie, thank, thank you!I'm here to beat you up!

He thought so in his heart, but looking at Gu Linyuan, who was covered in scars and embarrassed, and who had just thanked him, he really couldn't do anything.

He is domineering and unreasonable, but he never bullies the weak, and always fights with his opponents at the same level.

How about... next time?Guan Lin thought to himself, when Gu Linyuan recovers, it won't be too late for him to beat him up again, so it won't be considered bullying the weak.

Gu Linyuan didn't know that the tiger cub who had just saved him wanted to heal himself and give him a good beating. After he thanked him, he staggered and turned around to leave.

He knew that although the other party saved him, he actually didn't like him. Everyone here hated him, and the monster's emotions never restrained or covered up.

Even if the pain is so painful that it is difficult to walk, he doesn't want to stay in front of the other party to be annoying.

He walked staggeringly step by step, his back looked lonely and pitiful.

But what Guan Rin couldn't see was his tight lips, his palms with imprints, and the hatred deep in his eyes.
