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

"Guan Rin?" Gu Linyuan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Guan Rin's eyes.

Guan Lin blinked, and finally recovered from the sluggishness, but he was still confused, not knowing why Gu Linyuan called him.

"Did something happen again?" Gu Linyuan asked tentatively. He felt that Guan Lin was weird today. Seeing that he didn't rush up to rub him intimately as usual, his expression was also dazed, as if he hadn't woken up. .

"Out..." Guan Rin wanted to answer almost subconsciously, something happened, and it was very serious, dangerous and imminent, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips.

He seemed to have forgotten that matter in an instant.

Even with the lonely escape in that snowy night, and many other things.

He looked down at his paws, which were only the size of a cub, and his body also looked like a tiger cub, was he like this just now?

Although he can freely become bigger or smaller, this tiger cub is only for the convenience of his actions after changing his appearance, not that he is really only that big.But Guan Lin still felt that he seemed to have become a little younger, and so did Gu Linyuan. He was tall and straight, and his stature was undoubtedly that of an adult, but his face still showed a youthful look that had not yet fully transitioned to an adult.

This year, he and Gu Linyuan are both just 20 years old. They have not yet matured psychologically.

Guan Lin felt a little strange, but felt as if everything was normal. He was at such an age, nothing happened, nothing was lost, and he lived a peaceful and happy life in the pass.

But... why did Gu Linyuan say "again" just now?

What happened again?

"Tomorrow, I will go with you for the escort. It's okay. Although the demons have already started to attack, they haven't crossed the Sishui yet. There is still a distance from the place we are going to. There should be no danger. " Gu Linyuan thought for a while, and felt that Guan Rin's strange behavior was probably because he was worried about the escort, so he said something to comfort him, and scratched Guan Rin's chin soothingly.

Guan Lin almost instinctively raised his head to facilitate Gu Linyuan's movements. He narrowed his eyes comfortably, and at the same time, his memory began to come back.

He remembered why Gu Linyuan said "again", because a major event happened in the pass in the past few days. The demon king who had been dormant in the Sishui Plain for 20 years suddenly left, and the demon army advanced inch by inch under his leadership. We have reached the shore of Sishui.

It was the first time in many years that the Heavenly Demon King led his army to march again. With such a battle, the Demon Race must launch a general attack.

The Yaozu is also keenly aware of this point. Under Guan Leng's command, the Yaozu began to gather their defensive lines, selectively abandoning some areas, and all the troops retreated to dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But the troops withdrew, and some ordinary people did not.There are human beings living in the pass, because of the different living habits from the monsters and the racial estrangement between them, they don't live with monsters, and most of them live in the mountains near the front line.

Guan Leng is the leader of the monster clan, but he can't ignore the life and death of these ordinary people. The mountainous area where Gu Linyuan was at the beginning was attacked by demons because he was close to the front line. The whole village was slaughtered. The monsters ate the remaining limbs and organs, leaving only Gu Linyuan alive.

It was enough for such a tragic incident to happen once. Since then, Guan Leng has further strengthened the defense of the front line, and even specially arranged for troops to patrol near these human settlements.

Now that the war is about to start, she also specially sent some monsters to escort these humans to move to a safer rear and live with the monsters. Guan Lin is one of the people who are going to escort them.

Although the task of escorting is relatively safe, it is only relatively, and the danger is not as dangerous as those who are directly on duty at the front line, but it is not completely impossible to encounter demons.

Guan Leng knew that her younger brother was very afraid of demons, not to mention fighting head-on, even if he felt the breath of demons, his hands and feet would become stiff, and there was no improvement after so many years.

She sent Guan Rin to participate in the escort this time not because she disliked anything, but because she couldn't help it.After all, Guan Rin is no longer young.

He is not a child anymore, he is a sacred blood bird that has entered adulthood, and clansmen of the same age like Lang Yan and Zhao Xuanming have been going to the front line one after another a few years ago, and he is the only one In the tribe, they are surrounded by immature cubs or old and weak women and children who have no combat effectiveness, like adults mixed in a kindergarten, out of place.

After a long time, it is inevitable to provoke gossip and dissatisfaction.

Everyone was fighting to the death outside, and he was the only one huddling behind, eating, drinking and having fun, he was quite happy, why?

The monster race is not like the human race, because you are a nobleman, a child of the royal family, and you have privileges.Weakness is the original sin. If you can't do your part to protect the ethnic group, why keep it?Get out early!

Even though Guan Leng is Guan Rin's sister, she can't suppress these growing dissatisfaction. She has to send Guan Rin to do something to make Guan Rin look less useless.

So there was this escort mission, she was already enough to take care of Guan Rin, Yi Xiangzhen and those people meant to throw Guan Rin to the front line directly, so that this timid and squeamish person could experience the training of actual combat.

Of course, Guan Lin also knew how helpless his sister was. When he heard about this task, he didn't say much, and agreed immediately, as if he was very straightforward and unafraid, and then turned around to complain to Gu Linyuan.

When complaining, his tiger head almost fell to the floor, and his ears were pressed tightly to the back of his head. He was terrified.

What if you encounter a demon?Guan Lin didn't want to admit his timidity, but he knew very well in his heart what kind of reaction he would have when the time came.Not to mention fighting, he might not even be able to escape at that time, so he could only let the devil slaughter him.

While he was complaining, he was still dictating the suicide note to Gu Linyuan, telling him not to forget to cook something for himself during the holidays.

Gu Linyuan heard it funny and distressed, he straightened Guan Lin's fallen ears, and said at the same time: "The probability of encountering a demon in the escort mission is very low, don't worry, you won't die."

After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand, and the ears that had just been lifted up fell down again. Guan Rin still hung his head, and did not overcome his fear.

"I'll go with you." Gu Linyuan thought for a while and said.

Hearing this, Guan Rin's ears pricked up, and then fell down again.

"What's the use of you going..." Guan Lin said sullenly, "And they won't let you go."

Gu Linyuan is just an ordinary person, and he has no ability to resist when encountering demons. It is just the difference between one more death and one less death. Moreover, his identity is sensitive. Why would the monsters let him participate in some escort missions?

"Just tell them that human beings are more afraid of monsters. If you let them go with you, they may not cooperate well. If I go, I can persuade them better." Gu Linyuan has long been hesitant. The story of monsters eating people, even people who have lived in the customs for some years, are still afraid of these savage beasts in their bones, fearing that they will eat people one day.

Although the decision to let these people move to the rear was for their safety, these people might not believe it, they would probably be dubious, wondering if these monsters wanted to take them back and eat them.Everyone knew that there was going to be a war, and food and grass were very important during wartime. In the eyes of monsters, they were no different from those cattle and sheep, and they could all be slaughtered and eaten as food reserves.

They won't dare to resist monsters, but they won't be particularly cooperative either. They must be slow-moving and procrastinating.

But Gu Linyuan, who is also a human race, is different in persuasion. Humans and monsters are xenophobic. They are dubious about the words of other races, and [-]% believe the words of the same race. If they are willing to cooperate, their escort speed will be much faster. , and much safer.

Guan Lin followed what Gu Linyuan taught her to tell her sister, and she got an agreed answer.

The departure time is set for tomorrow morning. Although Gu Linyuan is with him, he doesn't seem to be so scared anymore, but Guan Lin still feels a little thumping in his heart, which is also the source of his strange behavior at the moment.

Is it just that?Guan Lin felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

He seemed to have forgotten something, he thought hard for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head, and under Gu Linyuan's urging, he went back to the clan for dinner with the other party.

In the blink of an eye, tomorrow morning, the escort team set off in a neat queue under Guan Leng's personal see-off.

Guan Lin was wearing the majestic military uniform given to him by his sister. His figure was tall and straight, he was already a complete adult, taller than Guan Leng.

For this trip, he still had a lot of timidity in his heart, but under the eyes of everyone, his sister was watching him from behind, he still tried his best to pretend to be brave and majestic, and strode forward to the dangerous front , although his hands were sweating from fear.

But fortunately, Gu Linyuan was still with him. After the team walked for a while and the people who saw them off could no longer see them, Gu Linyuan quietly came over and took Guan Lin's hand, comforting him with the strength of his fingertips.

With Gu Linyuan's company, the journey was not so difficult, and the itinerary went smoothly. They went to the mountain depression inhabited by humans according to the original plan, and informed these people of their purpose, and then Gu Linyuan persuaded them. As soon as we cooperated, we started to pack our luggage and prepare to move.

It's just that they were a bit slow to clean up, they were reluctant to throw away everything, wishing they could even take away the door beams that built the house.

The monsters urged it several times, but it didn't work, so they went up to help clean it up.The speed has sped up a little bit, but the overall progress is still slow.

In the process of packing up, the captain in charge of leading the escort suddenly noticed black smoke rising from the forest ahead.He recalled the nearby defense map in his mind, frowned and said, "There are probably demons attacking in front."

"Hurry up! The devil is coming! You won't be waiting any longer!" the captain urged again.

As soon as the crowd heard that the demon was coming, they immediately moved several times faster, and no longer thought about how to take the door beam away, but only packed the necessary things.

And Guan Lin, who was helping these people carry the ceremony, froze subconsciously when he heard the word "moon". He took a deep breath to calm down his panic.

At the same time, he searched with his eyes, trying to find Gu Linyuan's figure. When he was afraid of helplessness, he always subconsciously looked for him, but this time he couldn't find him.

Gu Linyuan was probably helping at the other end, so he couldn't see it.Guan Lin didn't think much, and continued to move things after his body was no longer stiff.

Soon, the people who had packed their salutes gathered at the entrance of the village, and the captain was giving an order to lead the team to set off, but Guan Lin suddenly said: "Wait, there is still someone missing."

While talking, he kept looking around, but he couldn't find Gu Linyuan.

The captain frowned and asked, "Where did he go?"

Guan Lin didn't know either, he just remembered that Gu Linyuan also went with him to help move things, and he couldn't remember when he disappeared from Guan Lin's sight.

"He didn't see the black smoke behind the mountain, so he ran away alone first?" a monster guessed.

After one word fell, many people agreed.They have never had a good impression of Gu Linyuan, and they have no doubt that the other party is such a coward. After all, birds of a feather flock together, isn't it the same for Guan Lin.

But Guan Lin didn't think so: "No! He won't leave alone!"

How could Gu Linyuan leave him and run away alone?

"Then where did you say he went?" the captain asked again.

"I don't know, wait a little longer, he should come later..." Guan Lin wanted to buy some more time.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of the crowd. Staying in this kind of place for a second is more dangerous. Everyone complained. Amidst the accusations, there was a man with a goatee and small eyes like mung beans, but his eyes were very shrewd, like What kind of merchant's man stood up.

The goatee asked, "Is that the person you're talking about wearing a white long gown, who looks handsome and gentle, like a scholar?"

"Yes!" Guan Lin's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately: "That's him!"

"Oh, I saw him." Goat Hu said: "Just when the smoke started to rise behind the mountain, he saw him running there alone, and he seemed very scared."

He pointed in a direction, and everyone looked along. This was the direction of returning to the tribe.

"I just said that he escaped back!" A monster sneered.

"Captain, let's go, we don't have many people, and it's hard to deal with demons!" A monster urged.

The captain also knew that time was tight, and immediately said: "Let's go now, don't mess up the team, follow the previous order."

Everyone set off obediently, only Guan Lin didn't leave, he was still standing there with hesitation on his face.

Although someone had clearly seen Gu Linyuan running back, but Guan Lin couldn't feel at ease if he didn't see him with his own eyes.

Moreover, did Gu Linyuan really abandon him and run away alone?

Guan Lin didn't believe it in his heart, he wanted to wait.

But seeing that he didn't leave, the captain personally came over and urged, "What are you waiting for? He's gone back!"

"Hurry up, you are in charge of this child, hurry up!" the captain said while handing over a two-year-old child to Guan Rin.

Guan Lin took it subconsciously. Human children of this age are not very good at walking, and it is even more difficult to climb mountains and ridges, so they can only walk with them.

After the captain handed over the child, he ran forward to arrange for other people in the team to be responsible. Guan Lin glanced at the ignorant toddler in his arms, and then at the burning flames behind him.

If he didn't leave, it would not only be him who died, but also such a child.

He hesitated again and again, finally looked at the empty woods, and trotted to catch up with the queue that had already walked a distance.
