THE A

The author has something to say: The background setting of this article is purely fabricated. It largely refers to Indian mythology and has nothing to do with reality.

"Squeak... squeak..."

A white rabbit running away in a panic shuttles through the thorny woods.

Mercedes' thigh was pierced by a flying slender wooden arrow, and blood gushed out!Lost the last condition to escape.

The body hit the stump in front at a fast speed.

With the sound of footsteps not far away, the culprit appeared.A young man wearing a close-fitting vest, with a rough cloth vest pulled up outside, black shattered hair on the back of his neck, and bangs that did not block his vision at all. This little hunter has handsome features, a handsome nose bridge and a well-defined Eyebrows are very dazzling.

He is hunting in this jungle with his special wooden bow and arrows.

For such a sensitive little animal, he is already handy in catching it.

Satisfied, he picked up the prey he had just caught, which was the third rabbit of the day.Touching the fat rabbit leg, the boy proudly raised the corners of his mouth, showing a calm smile. Today's dinner has been served.

"A Ye! Wait for me..."

There was a shout from behind, apparently his companion, A Ye was his nickname, and his name was Ka Ye.It was obviously his companion's voice, but his expression tightened.He pulled out the bloody arrow, stuffed the rabbit into the bag behind him, turned around and saw the man who was chasing him.It was Dasha, who was much thinner than him. Under the cover of the long-sleeved commoner, he could still see that his tiny elbows and thighs looked completely fragile, but in terms of age, he should not be much different from Kaye .

He chased Jia Ye for a long way in the jungle, and he wanted to rest for a few seconds.His face was flushed and getting redder.He leaned against the tree trunk panting, his delicate eyebrows and fair complexion made him look like a little girl.

"A Ye, you ran...so fast..."

Dasha lowered his eyes and blinked, looking at the other party in shame. He knew that he had dragged Kaye back, but he still couldn't help but insisted on following him.He showed a flattering smile again, but didn't dare to look directly at Jia Ye's face, which made Jia Ye's heart soften instantly.

"Why did you follow...?"

Jia Ye's face darkened, and he looked unhappy, probably wanting to say that this area may be in danger.

But he was more worried.Clapping his hands, he put away the bow and arrow behind his back, and helped the other party to pat off the twigs and fallen leaves from the bushes on the corner of the other party's clothes. Looking at Dasha's red and hot face after exercising, and his rapid panting, Jia Ye had the idea of ​​going back.

Compared with the thin Dasha, Gaye immediately hugged him in his arms and let him rest on his chest, which was softer than a tree trunk.

Dasha also cleaned up his clothes, pulled himself out of his arms, and whispered, "You said you would take me to the city to play tomorrow...I was afraid I couldn't walk, so I came out first...to exercise... "

"That's not playing, that's worship." Jiaye didn't know what Dasha was awkward about, half-armed his small body, and slowly stepped towards the village.

"As long as I stay with you..." After walking a few steps, Dasha pushed away Kaye's arm and started to walk on his own. However, he was afraid of embarrassment, so he took Kaye's hand again and murmured his words repeatedly. Little wishes. "I really want to go with you..."

"Tomorrow there will be a carriage for people from the village to go with, so we will ride on it and come back at night."

This is undoubtedly good news. Jia Ye didn't tell Dasha about it because he won the opportunity for the two of them to take a carriage this morning. He was busy in the village all morning and had a meal at noon. carry.Until the afternoon, when Dasha followed him into the jungle, he didn't find a chance to speak.Now, Dasha smiled with his eyes bent, and more expectation and joy appeared on his face.

"Really, no wonder people in the village are saying that they can bring more things back... They have prepared a big basket, and they heard that a lot of fruit can be bought in the city."

The tone is unanimously cute. When it comes to fruit, what Dasha wants to eat most is fruit.He is full of curiosity about everything in the city. Perhaps because of his poor physical fitness since he was a child, he is not suitable for sports, so Dasha spends more time at home, and has never even strolled around the village, let alone entered the city.Moreover, it is inconvenient to go to the city, and it is expensive to go once, so it is not possible to go at any time.

Dasha’s imagination of the city comes from the descriptions of the neighbors in the village. Some women who have been to the city will talk about the bustling world. Although Dasha is satisfied with the ordinary and poor life now, he still has illusions about the unknown , just like every young girl fantasizes about marrying the groom who has not yet appeared.

"Well, go back."

Since he is looking forward to it so much, he will hunt a few fewer rabbits today.

Jia Ye grasped Dasha's hand tightly, and the two walked together sticky, and walked for a long time before returning to the village.

Lotus Ze.

A small village in the country of Garol, and one of the few peaceful villages in the disaster-prone Garol, it is close to the imperial city and the Ganges, enjoying the resources brought by nature.Lianhuaze is surrounded by dense jungle, and the humid environment in the forest is not convenient for traveling to urban areas. Except for the annual pilgrimage, few people go out.A very small part of the land in the village is used for farming, and there are some tributary streams around the village, enough for more than [-] families here to support themselves.

Jia Ye is like some other male villagers. He is good at hunting wild animals. The bread and potatoes that can be distributed in the village cannot feed the whole family. These meats are necessary food.At the same time, Kaye is also training his body. He enjoys the taste of adventure in this dangerous forest. Occasionally, he can encounter huge pythons and vicious and ugly wild boars in the depths. He can fight them and survive. Jia Ye has been proud since she was a child.

Both Jiaye and Dasha were orphans. Jiaye was one year older and was born in Lianhuaze. It is said that her mother was abandoned by her husband and came to the village alone. Uncle Da lives.But Dasha's life experience is a mystery. When he was just born, he was put in a basket and secretly placed in a conspicuous open space in the village. The baby was crying all the time, but his fair complexion was by no means like The native-born people seem to be the bad luck brought by the devil, and no one dares to take this baby away.However, one day passed, and the village was still peaceful and peaceful. Finally, some unbearable villagers took him back. Because he was ridiculed as a devil, Dasha’s name came from this, and finally he was settled in the kind-hearted Uncle Da’s house. , At that time, Uncle Da had adopted Kaya, so Dasha and Kaya were companions, and the two grew up like friends.

A few years ago, Uncle Da died of a heart attack. After he left, Jia Ye picked a clean cemetery for him in the village.His legs and feet have been inconvenient all his life, and his eyes can't see very clearly. He is in his early fifties, but he still hasn't found a suitable girl.Fortunately, he adopted two filial children, who can be regarded as dependent on old age.

Today's Kaye and Dasha are even more intimate and depend on each other for life.

Jiaye is responsible for protecting Dasha and the source of life for the family. Hunting is part of his life, helping others to make money is another part, and Dasha is responsible for housework and taking care of Jiaye's daily life, including sewing Clothes, cleaning, cooking, etc.

After returning to the warm home, Jia Ye fetched water from the sink and washed the rabbit meat, then peeled the skin with a knife, and after cleaning the bloodshot corpse, it was almost hung on the barbecue grill.

Dasha didn't dare to touch the carcasses of animals, so he had to wait until they were cooked or roasted before adding condiments, and finally ate them with bread and cinnamon.Occasionally, Dasha would cook some paste and eat it mixed with rice. In the village, he bought some vegetables grown by other people's homes, which would make food with a more fragrant taste.

In early autumn, the sky gets dark very early.

The bonfire drifted all the way to the distant stream.The two ate dinner, scooping each other's food into each other's bowls like brothers.

The flavor of the spices is very strong. Jia Ye peeled the charred rabbit leg meat and stuffed it into his mouth. No need to chew more, the mouth is soft and melts.

"I will go to the military conscription next year." Jia Ye said casually.

"Is... what army?" Dasha raised his head and replied in a daze.He didn't know anything about it, and armies and wars were vague things to him.

"The royal family's army, whether it's the personal guard or the guard, makes me want to try it."

The personal guard is an army dedicated to protecting the royal family and nobles. The guard is an army that protects the safety of the people. There is also a regular army. The regular army is soldiers who are locked up in the barracks for training every day. Apart from training, what awaits them is the battlefield.Jia Ye has worked with some older uncles in the village, and has heard about the army to some extent. If a commoner man can enter there to serve the country, it will be the glory of his life, and he will even be respected by many nobles.

Jia Ye's tone was not very serious, but this matter had been in his mind for a long time.

His eyes wandered between the dining table and the distance, and he didn't dare to face Dasha's appearance directly. He thought that the other party's expression must be unhappy at this moment.

Normally, Jia Ye didn't talk much, but when such an important matter was mentioned suddenly, Dasha's heart skipped a beat.

Jia Ye, going to the army?

They have lived together for more than ten years, and they cannot be separated easily like their brothers. If Jia Ye leaves, what about him, will he go to live in the city with him, or wait for Jia Ye to come back in the countryside?How long will Kaye go?

Questions flooded into his mind one after another, and Dasha was afraid to think about it.

If there is no formal income, how can there be a foothold in the city.

He had eaten half of the cake in his hand when he suddenly put down the bowl.

"So, you went to town..."

"Don't worry, I will settle down in the city and pick you up as soon as possible."

Dasha's mood really likes to be written on his face, the sudden loss is of course clear at a glance, but with a glance from the corner of his eye, he can find that Dasha's eyes are dull, he hurriedly prevaricates such a promise, but such a promise, Portions are pretty heavy.

Galore is a small country with a large gap between the rich and the poor. However, the vast majority of its citizens are common people, who are oppressed by a very small number of nobles. Although the slave system has been abolished, the common people still live very hard.Anyone can imagine how difficult it would be for the poor in the countryside to live in the city.

"really?"

Dasha asked in a low voice, and the luster appeared in his eyes again.However, he didn't dare to guess the future easily, he just wanted to try to confirm Jia Ye's mind.

"You do not believe?"

"How... how, I believe you."

Soon one rabbit was gnawed until there were only broken bones left. Jiaye picked up the other one, tore off the leg meat as soon as he picked it off, and put it in Dasha's bowl.

"Let's eat."

Dasha was full of thoughts, and his stomach was soon full, so he hurried to boil water.

Let the words just go away first.

In the warm-breathing bath room, he was so edified that he felt drowsy.

When he was a teenager, he would sweat profusely during every day's activities. Jia Ye got used to flushing and taking a bath every day, which also washed away the exhaustion of the day.Whenever hot water comes out of the skylight of the simple firewood house, you can go in and wash it. The saponins are collected from the nearby forests.

Dasha was still testing the temperature of the water by the barrel, and Kaye had already taken off his jacket and underwear neatly, and his tall figure was undisguised in front of Dasha's eyes.It's not the first time he's seen him, but recently, every time he sees Jia Ye taking a bath, he will unconsciously avoid it.The two have slept together hugging since they were young, and perhaps as they grow older, subtle changes have taken place in Dasha's heart.

A 15-year-old boy is already close to the height of an adult man.The broad shoulders, as well as the muscles of the chest and arms are beyond the reach of many adults, but he also has a handsome appearance, with wheat-colored skin and a slender figure. If he puts on an expensive dress, Probably like a noble young master walking out of the city, not a hunter from the mountains at all.

And I am obviously only one year younger than him, and my body is a little smaller. My thin bones can't withstand a little blow, and I will be injured if I bump into it. Even that place hasn't developed, just like a six-year-old boy.

Dasha is not inferior, he doesn't want to compare anything with Kayah, but he has a special feeling for Kayah.

Since childhood, Dasha has been very attached to Jiaye, and Jiaye also takes care of Dasha. They live together intimately, and often say some words without blushing.In such a simple environment, Dasha hadn't yet started to fall in love, so how could he think of that aspect? He only knew that at this age, he couldn't be as intimate with Jia Ye anymore, and he couldn't face it calmly.

"You haven't washed in days, have you?"

Jia Ye threw his coat aside, and instead of stepping into the barrel immediately, he leaned closer to Dasha beside the barrel, and sniffed the scent on his neck. It really smelled of salty sweat, which was not unpleasant.

"No, I... I'll wash it later."

As if hearing the pounding heartbeat, Dasha became anxious, shrank his neck, and held his breath.

"It's getting late."

He didn't notice that Dasha's face was already red.

"No, you wash first!"

Dasha quickly turned his head away, his face turned even redder against the warm yellow light, he hurriedly took away the change of clothes and rushed out of the bathroom, he also clearly felt that his face was burning hot at this moment.Unable to look at Jia Ye's body anymore, Dasha slapped his face to extinguish the fire with the help of the night wind, and went back to the house to pack his things. The bedroom was much cooler than the bathroom.

However, soon, the sound of Jia Ye coming out of the barrel and finishing the bath was heard in the room. He only had a towel around his lower body, and he pushed open the wooden door inertially. The creaking sound and steaming body were behind him. Dasha even I dare not turn my head back.

It wasn't until Jiaye went to the bed to pick up clean clothes and put on that Dasha turned to ask him.

"Ok?"

"Good morning, what are you dawdling about? The water is still hot, you can go in and soak."

Dasha's mind is in a mess again, the bucket that Kayah soaked...

There must be the body odor of Kayah.He was very familiar with that smell, but he was also afraid of it.

As long as it is about the body, a little intimate behavior can make Dasha feel extremely ashamed. I don't know when this feeling started.

He is also a male, but he never regards Kaya as a "good brother" as others say.Between the question and the answer, he deliberately avoided Jia Ye's gaze.

"Ah... I'm going to wash now."

As if deliberately hiding the expression on his face, the moment he ran out of the bedroom, he closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.Due to obstacles in his heart, Dasha let go of the hot water in the wooden barrel, added a lot of cold water to reheat it, and then took off his clothes and went in to take a bath.Obviously when they were young, the two of them could rub their backs and play in the water together in this small wooden barrel, but now it is too small for two of them, and Jia Ye can squeeze in enough to sit in and wash by himself.

Dasha took a bath very slowly. Until a year ago, the two of them often took a bath together, because Dasha had fainted in the bathroom when he was young, and Jiaye has been taking care of his body very carefully since then.Recently, Dasha felt awkward, so he began to distance himself.

Jia Ye knew without asking why, maybe Dasha had a puberty reaction.

Reboiling the water and washing again will inevitably take longer. When I returned to my room after taking a shower, Jia Ye had already turned off the lights.In the darkness, Dasha climbed onto the bed, couldn't see anything, and finally he calmed down and lay down on tiptoe.The width of this big bed can accommodate three or four people, as long as the bedding is separated, common people live in this way.

"Are you asleep? Aye."

Dasha gently rubbed his wet short hair, worried that he would wake up Kaya, but as soon as the words came out, Kaya turned over.

His hand was on Dasha's waist, and he knocked him down with a single hook.

"Why did you take so long to wash?"

If it wasn't for the intermittent movement from the bathroom, Jiaye would almost have thought something had happened to Dasha.

"...A Ye, you are sleepy, go to sleep..."

Dasha comforted him. After lying down, he straightened his body and looked at the dark ceiling. He was only wearing a thin unlined garment, feeling a little...uncomfortable.

However, Jiaye's breathing was right next to his ears, and his arms were wrapped around his waist. It seemed that he was very tired, and Dasha didn't dare to act rashly if he wanted to sleep farther.

Dasha's body still had the fragrance of soap locust, and Kaye moved his body slightly, buried his head in the other's soft shoulder, and hugged him even tighter.

Finally, I can sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep.

He didn't move after that, and he didn't know how embarrassed Dasha was when he hugged him awkwardly.
