Cute Beast Food Garden

"Back?" Si Dongmo was obviously stunned, and his breath was a little disordered: "The devil's back... I haven't seen it with my own eyes." The fingertips transmitted to Qi Yan's whole body, which made Qi Yan tremble slightly, feeling extremely nervous.

"Brother Mo, by now, I'm afraid you have already guessed it." Boss Lan slowly raised his eyes, his usually bright and charming eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of dust, and there was only a dead silence.

"I, I can't guess..." Dongmo said awkwardly, but his body was backing away in fear. He suddenly turned his face to Qi Yan, and for the first time a timid look appeared in his eyes.

Qi Yan's heart suddenly ached, and he immediately hugged Dongmo's shoulders, just like a man would hug him every time he was afraid.

"Dong Mo..." Qi Yan pressed against his body temperature and murmured, "Don't be afraid, no matter what, I will be with you."

Dong Mo lowered his eyes.His tone was bitter: "Qi Yan... If the facts are really what I think, maybe even you..."

Will you look at me the way you look at a demon...

Qi Yan interrupted him, shaking his head resolutely: "Born doesn't mean anything. No matter what your background is, you are you. You are absolutely different from everyone else."

He turned to Boss Lan and asked, "However, I still don't understand. When I helped Master Zhao catch the poisoner, I saw the appearance of the demon with my own eyes. Although the demon looks very similar to a human, his forehead There are seals on the front, and there are special lines on the cheeks. But you see, Dongmo’s face is completely clean, and there are no such things. Besides, if Dongmo is really... a demon, his hometown should be the Northern Realm Demon China, how could it be like your friends are all craftsmen villages in Hongye County, Zhu Country? Boss Lan’s words are inconsistent..."

"Everything I said is just speculation. But I can be sure of one thing - from the moment Ah Jin brought you into the Fourteen restaurant, I can guess eight or nine are close to ten - Brother Mo It's a demon, or at least he must have the blood of the demon race."

Looking at the two people trembling in front of him, Boss Lan didn't stop there, he continued: "Brother Mo doesn't have a magic seal on his face, but the black lines on his back are indeed magic seals, which are the demons and the living creatures." All unique marks." He stretched out his slender fingers, gesturing in the air with complex patterns of black stripes.

"The devil stores the magic energy he has cultivated in the magic seal. The more complicated the magic seal is, the stronger the power will be. The powerful demons can even subdue fierce beasts by themselves.

During the trial of the restaurant poisoning case, you and I saw with our own eyes that Brother Mo caught the ghostly dream smoke known as 'death smoke' with his bare hands and presented it to the court as evidence.However, Guimengyan is a ferocious beast that is a special product of the Demon Kingdom. Apart from Hua Wucao, the only thing that can suppress it is the original power of the Demon Race. "

Yes, even if he doesn't want to admit it anymore, Qi Yan can't ignore the facts pointed out by Boss Lan under the control of his sensibility.

As a fierce beast in the Demon Realm, Sui Mengyan had a bad hallucinatory effect on everyone, but Dongmo was able to escape, and even captured it with his bare hands.

When encountering the Chongshan boar, Dongmo exploded with infinite divine power in desperation, and sent the giant flying with a punch, which completely surpassed the power range of ordinary humans.

All these experiences have already hinted at this fact, but Qi Yan doesn't want to think about it.Besides, even if the above knowledge is Qi Yan's illusion, what about the black pattern?The strange tattoo like a swimming snake is still firmly attached to Dongmo's back, which is the proof of his indelible blood.

Qi Yan covered his forehead sadly.From the shadow between his fingers, he caught a glimpse of Dongmo with his head bowed, his face was pale, and his expression was more painful than his own.No wonder, before that, he and Dongmo had fantasized about his life experience countless times and put forward many kinds of conjectures.

He had thought that Dongmo's family members were spirit beasts, killers, or even fugitives who were forced to abandon their children.

But in fact, Dongmo is a demon.

No matter what Dongmo's own standpoint is, the demons are the instigators of the war in the Zhu Kingdom, the mortal enemies of the Black Feather Army, and the former enemies of the Zhe Que Clan.

Dongmo is a demon, this is the last thing he wants to imagine.

Seeing the dejected expressions of the two, Boss Lan said indifferently: "You probably have doubts about why I can be sure of Brother Mo's demon background. In fact, as you think, I am also a member of Hei Yu's subordinates.

I am not a native of Luoxia Town, my hometown is Tianyi Town on the edge of Hongye County.During the war more than 20 years ago, my hometown was destroyed by demons, and about two hundred members of my family joined the 'Black Feather' under the call of Prince He.Most of the blood relatives in the clan died under the attack of the demon army, including my father who had never met and died in battle.

When I was two or three years old and could not fully walk, my mother and elder brother took me to run around with the Black Feather Army. I remember every devil's face and smell every devil's face The breath... No matter how much time has passed, I can still recognize the demon with my eyes closed. "He laughed lightly twice, the laughter was desolate, making the hair stand on end.

"Ha... For me, the aura of the devil is the bloody aura of bloody revenge... This aura is engraved in the bones, and it will be hard to forget even if I spend my whole life."

Boss Lan raised his hand self-consciously, and pulled off the blue headband tied around his head.In the chaos of being busy saving people earlier, his combed hair was almost undone, and it hung on his shoulders in a mess.He deftly turned his fingers, wrapped the hair band around his wrist a few times, and then separated his five fingers to comb the black hair slowly.

A beauty combing her hair is a rare and beautiful picture, but for some reason, coupled with his erratic and sinister laughter, the appearance of him combing his long hair under the dim light looks resentful and frightening, which makes Qi Yan's heart burst into tears. cold.

As if caught in the memory of the past, Boss Lan lazily smoothed his long hair with his hands, and muttered to himself in a trance: "Later, my last two relatives also died in the chaos of the war. A kind person adopted me, took me to a remote mountain village, and raised me incognito.

However, such a peaceful day did not last long... Four years ago, the government sent troops into the deep mountains to wipe out Hei Yu's remaining forces in the name of 'suppressing bandits'.I escaped by luck, and came to Luoxia Town with the little money I saved from picking herbs in the mountains, and opened a small restaurant.You probably have heard that my real name is not Lan Shishi, but Lan Zeqing.After coming to the town, in order to conceal my identity, I changed my name to Lan Shishi. "

"As for this restaurant..." Boss Lan raised her white neck halfway and looked around the rest room, "You have always wondered why the restaurant was cold and poorly decorated, but I didn't care much? Opening this restaurant in Luoxia Town, in addition to earning some money to make a living, it is also an important base for me to contact Heiyu. Luoxia Town is full of people and traffic, and it is an excellent place to inquire about news. "

"And the owner of a restaurant is an excellent identity for you to contact with many people without being easily suspected." Qi Yan listened to all this in disbelief, "Boss Lan, you..."

Seeing the other party's gloomy face, Qi Yan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.His viscera and lungs seemed to be filled with lead, squeezing his chest and bones so heavily that he couldn't breathe.

Boss Lan is Hei Yu, Dong Mo is a demon descendant, Fourteen restaurants are Hei Yu's stronghold, and the ocher magpie clan is the symbol of Hei Yu... Hearing so many things at once, most of them completely overturned Qi Yan's previous experience. The recognition made him so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe well, and he really wanted to cry.

"There is only one thing I don't understand, Boss Lan, you are still willing to accept us even though you realize that Dongmo is a demon, and cook with you in a restaurant to make money... What is your plan?"

"Plan? Actually, I really want to see you." Boss Lan brushed her hair, "Qi Yan, you are different from Brother Mo. Do you remember the first time we met? Ah Jin excitedly introduced me to the A new customer here, but I came to see that the 'new customer' of the restaurant turned out to be a tall and strong descendant of the demon race, and there was a little ocher magpie standing on top of his head..."

He smiled bitterly, "At that time, I was calm on the surface, but I was really shocked in my heart. I couldn't guess why this strange demon came to the restaurant, so I could only be careful.

Qi Yan, I took the initiative to invite you to stay, hoping to take the opportunity to let you leave Brother Mo's side, so as to protect you.But you declined my invitation.Then I changed my mind, please stay in the restaurant with Brother Mo. "

He turned to Dong Mo, "Brother Mo, there is nothing to hide now, let me just say it—at that time, because of your demon blood, I not only didn't trust you, but I was wary of you. Let you and Qi Yan Staying in the restaurant together, apart from making money together, the most important thing is to monitor you, and at the same time protect Black Feather's holy beast, the ocher magpie."

Frankly breaking the facts, Boss Lan's words were like the last sharp sword piercing the black veil, piercing the hearts of everyone present.In the end, he couldn't bear the painful gazes from the two of them, so he closed his eyes instead.

"How? Brother Mo, nowadays, is it more painful for you who know the truth than you who are confused and unknown? Sometimes, people who know nothing... are the happiest." He mocked himself cruelly, "When you have nothing When I knew it, I was the only one suffering; but now, it’s the three of us suffering.”

"Boss Lan, you knew my background from the very beginning, but you took the initiative to mention Heiwen in front of me several times. Are you testing me?" Dongmo said bitterly, "Leaving me in the restaurant is just In order to spy on me, spy on me... I have been speculating and considering, and I dare not tell me about my life experience."

Boss Lan opened and closed his lips, and spoke out the words flatly: "Yes. That's right. I left you in the restaurant and have been silently observing you. I have never observed a demon so closely before."

He slowly turned his eyes away. To this day, he is still observing Si Dongmo.

"Whenever I look at you, I think, 'Ah, is this a demon, is it really a demon...? The demons in my memory are all murderers, executioners, they are fierce and brutal, almost It slaughtered my entire family, but why is this demon in the restaurant so docile and honest, and even smiles so kindly at the little ocher magpie?" He slowly rolled his eyes, every look was like a knife cutting through his face. man, "'Is he pretending?'..."

"Qi Yan, can you feel this feeling like I do—just imagine, a demon is standing beside you, with his back turned to you defenselessly, and he has nothing to do with the hatred in your heart You know... At this time, you only need a small bottle of poison, and you can send him to the west without making a sound."

Qi Yan stared at Lan Zeqing's eyes for a long time.This man is really terrifying—in order to monitor Dongmo and protect himself, Boss Lan actually endured his deep-rooted hatred, and stayed with his mortal enemy in peace for three full months without revealing anything. The slightest flaw!

When his eyes were full of despair, Qi Yan suddenly trembled.Grabbing at the last straw, he pressed, "But you didn't do that, did you? We've been in the restaurant for so long, you didn't really hurt him."

Boss Lan snorted and seemed to be chuckling: "Hmm, I planned to do this... Every night when I close my eyes, I can see many dead relatives, they are urging me to kill This demon, I also promised them... But when I woke up in the daytime, I saw how he cared for you, loved you, and you were together, and I couldn't help breaking my promise... I Suddenly thinking about it, he doesn't seem to be a demon at all."

"What does that mean?"

"As you mentioned, the mystery about Brother Mo's hometown and bloodline... I checked the local chronicles of Hongye County, and found that the human race and the demon race were not always opposed. Before, the two countries also had a period of peace, and there were even some business exchanges or population flows. It is not uncommon for humans and demons to have mixed blood. To this day, there are still remnants of small villages where humans and demons lived together on the border.

Therefore, regarding Brother Mo's identity, I am more inclined to believe that he is a hybrid descendant of the human race and the demon race. Therefore, although he has inherited the imprint of the demon blood, he has not fully inherited his ferocious and violent nature. 'people'. "

"Similar to a human being", this statement made Qi Yan panic.He shook his head desperately, "That's not the case, Dongmo has always been human! He, he just has the blood of the demons, he is not our enemy!"

"Qi Yan, I didn't say he is our enemy."

Boss Lan let out a long breath, "Humans are divided into good and evil, and demons are also divided into good and bad. When I see demons, I can't help but think of those hatreds in the past... Personally speaking, I used to be very It's hard to accept Brother Mo as my friend. But..."

He suddenly smiled faintly, "After such a long period of observation, my reason tells me that although Brother Mo is a demon, he has not done anything harmful to nature. On the contrary, he is still a very good person. I spent It took four full months to convince myself to get rid of the shackles of past thinking, and learn to look at a person neutrally and peacefully. However, it is the kindness that Brother Mo has always shown that makes me believe in this even more."

Qi Yan fixedly looked at Boss Lan.He finally waited for this moment, and seeing Lan Zeqing's dead eyes slowly reveal a gleam of warmth, Qi Yan suddenly threw himself behind Dongmo, hugged his neck tightly, and burst into tears.

"Dong Mo has always been a very good person!" Qi Yan sobbed and cried out heartily, "Boss Lan, even if he is a devil, he has always been very good to me... Do you know? Mo has always been sincere to others. He takes care of his adoptive mother and younger brother without complaint or regret, helps the neighbors and villagers, and protects the partners in the restaurant... He never owes anyone, and he deserves everyone to like him ..."

Dong Mo hugged Qi Yan with his backhand, he lowered his head and buried it in the boy's neck.Smelling the faint natural body fragrance on his body, this familiar feeling made him hug him even tighter.

"Qi Yan, thank you." Thank you for speaking for me...

Hearing the boy's intermittent sobs, he couldn't speak the last half of the sentence.

The feeling of grievance made the boy burst into tears.He wanted to tell the whole world that Dongmo was a very good person who not only took good care of him, but also helped many people selflessly. The lineage of the "devil" seems to be an innate stain on him, but since Dongmo is a demon, he has to accept this good demon.

Dong Mo hugged him tightly.He looked up at the dim light on the wall, and he tried hard to hold the tears in his eyes, and the flickering light was refracted into a blurred light in his hazy vision.

Boss Lan immediately stood up, walked behind Qi Yan and patted him on the back lightly, comforting him.

"Qi Yan, brother Mo, I was wrong." He stared into Dongmo's eyes, "forgive me for my narrow-mindedness and selfishness, I almost wanted to hurt you just because of your demon blood. Fortunately, I finally I figured it out, if I insisted on classifying people according to their origins and bloodlines, how would this trip be any different from the enemies I have been fighting against?

As a member of Black Feather, I hate from the bottom of my heart the indiscriminate hunting and killing of civilians by the Demon Army and Yamen. How can I become as unreasonable as them?Even if eight out of ten demons are brutal killers, I can't conclude that brother Mo is a demon with the same character as them. "

"Thank you, Boss Lan."

The man then said to Boss Lan: "Boss Lan, I can understand your feelings, and I am grateful that you were willing to keep me in the restaurant and told me the secret of my life experience. You have an opposite position towards me who met by chance. It’s admirable to have such a mind.”

"I may have the blood of a demon, but I am not a demon who kills innocent people indiscriminately. My wish is also very simple. I just want to protect my little spirit beast and live a good life with my family and friends." Dongmo said earnestly, "It's a great honor to come to Fourteen Restaurant."

Dong Mo gently hugged Qi Yan into his arms, and stroked his hair.Feeling that the young man gradually stopped sobbing excitedly, Dongmo let him curl up on his lap, lying on his thick chest like a cat with peace of mind.

Boss Lan looked at the two people who were hugging each other closely and whispering, his face that had been gloomy until now finally became brighter, and a gentle smile from the heart bloomed.
