[DotA2] Holy Sword

The Sixth Battle of Faerie Fire

I don't know how they survived the two days that lasted like years, An Ronghe felt like a cat was scratching in his heart, and felt that if he couldn't see the living Yan Che again, he might go crazy.The kids, big and small, who often played together in the community also noticed his strangeness in the past two days, and they all said that if they played against him again, they might be regarded as the smashed ball.

Yan Che originally planned to take the subway to the scenic spot - Shang'an City has a well-developed transportation system, and Lancui Mountain has long been planned for the subway. Although it is far away from the urban area, it takes more than an hour to get there by taking the subway twice.However, there were too many things to bring, so at Father An's strong request, he drove the two of them to the gate of the scenic spot.

An Rongyu was secretly delighted. Although he knew that Yan Che lived in the faculty dormitory of Shangda University, he didn't know which one it was. Picking him up this time would allow him to find out the details, and maybe even go upstairs to have a look.

At 1:3 p.m., the sunny days of the past were restored, and a family SUV stopped on time at the downstairs of Building [-] of the Faculty Dormitory of Shangda University.Yan Che had already brought all his luggage and was waiting here. It seemed that his desire to be a guest at home had been shattered.

It doesn't matter, there will be a long time in Japan, and there will be a period later.

It’s not as fast as the subway, and it took two hours to get there by self-driving on land. Fortunately, it’s not a weekend.

After sending the two of them and their luggage off the bus, like all parents in the world, Father An also gave some advice—don't deviate from the planned route, don't go deep into the woods, don't run around at night, and call him before going down the mountain.Later, I remembered that there was no signal on the mountain, so the two parties made an approximate time.After finishing speaking, it was straightforward, and the car returned directly without turning off the engine.

An Ronghe thought he was young and strong, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to carry the tent, sleeping bag and water, while Yan Che took the remaining small items.The name of the natural oxygen bar is not blown, as soon as you enter the gate of the scenic spot surrounded by green trees, a cool breeze caresses your face.Coupled with the towering trees covering the sky and the sun, the heat in the city was not felt at all on the mountain road, but because the two of them were carrying heavy loads and equipped with strict equipment, they also started sweating after a while.

An Rongyu, who had been tossing and turning for several nights, obviously thought a lot about what he wanted to say to Yan Che, but at this moment he couldn't utter a single word in confusion - his mind was full of images of the two of them sleeping in a tent at night.

"Tired?" Yan Che broke the silence with a smile, "Although the tent is light, it still weighs seven or eight catties. Do you want to change it?"

"No, I'm very energetic! Even you can memorize it together!" After finishing speaking, he realized that he seemed to have missed some important term, and the boy's face turned red.

"We still have to walk the winding mountain path for three hours. Let's change for a while and save our energy." Yan Che's words are sincere. After all, with water, a backpack of about ten catties is quite stressful for a boy who is climbing a mountain for the first time. , not to mention a thousand-meter peak like the Range Rover Terrace.

After about an hour, the two turned in from a winding path on the sightseeing boulevard.After a few resprays of insect repellent, I headed towards the darker mountain road.

There are mostly pine trees on both sides, and they are lush at this time, with some pine cones hanging on them.On the soil outside the bluestone slab, there are countless layers of withered and yellow pine needles, exuding bursts of elegant fragrance.People who are accustomed to urban life come here for the first time, and it is inevitable that they will feel refreshed and at ease from the bottom of their hearts.

"Brother, where is your hometown?" Finally clearing up the first question, An Rongyu must seize this opportunity to understand Yan Che thoroughly.

"Small place, you don't even know if you tell me." For some reason, Yan Che always seemed reluctant to mention his hometown and past. "However, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, friendly neighbors, and the scenery is several times better than Lancui Mountain."

"Then can I go to your house to play in the future?" Naturally, he will not let go of this excellent opportunity, An Rongyu really wants to see this land where he was born and raised, what kind of people can teach Such a perfect man.

"You are welcome anytime, as long as you don't feel bored." Yan Che paused, "After all, there is nothing left in this small mountain town except for the scenery."

The latter sentence was more like speaking to himself, but An Rong and Naturally couldn't hear it.

"How is it possible, brother, with you here, you will never be bored."

For the next hour, Yan Che seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, telling in detail the interesting things that happened in his life in the mountains since he was a child.

Yan Che's hometown is halfway up a mountain, and there is a factory nearby, so most of the residents are employees of those factories.The person who lives there is Tu Jin, but his parents are Tu Jing.Although it is on the mountain, it only takes 10 minutes to walk up and down the mountain on the bluestone road. This kind of house built on the mountain is very common in small towns surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Walking up the mountain path for another 5 minutes, there is a large field surrounded by farmhouses in these fields.When Yan Che was a child, he often went to steal vegetables to eat. Corn cobs, green cucumbers, overripe figs, and mulberries full of big trees all couldn't escape the clutches of their group of little devils.

In addition to these named foods, he also tasted wild fruits, hollow berries the size of strawberries, a bit astringent tea tongue in early spring, sweet and sour March bubbles, which will explode automatically when they are ripe August melon, sweet camellia honey.Those wild game in various shapes and colors are still vividly imprinted in my mind at this moment.

An Rongyu was stunned when he heard this, since he lived in an international metropolis since he was a child, he had never seen these wild game in the mountains, let alone just hearing the name, he couldn't figure out what it should look like.Just from Yan Che's description, these fruits are really delicious, perhaps beyond the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty food that should be - endowed with another taste called "home".

Maybe it's because he didn't expect Yan Che, who is now gentle and gentle, to be so mischievous.Once, when he was stealing corn, he ran into an old farmer who came to check. In desperation, he got into the dense cornfield, endured all kinds of flying insects and reptiles around him, and fought guerrilla warfare with the old farmer.

An Rong and Zheng were happy to hear that, but Yan Che suddenly stopped and said "don't move" to him.

The steps on his feet stopped at the sound, An Rongyu turned around in a daze, and couldn't help asking nervously: "What's wrong?"

At this time, Yan Che's expression seemed to be desperately trying to hold back a smile, and the biting lip turned white.After a few seconds, he said quietly: "You have a big sister on your head."

"What what?" As if one word could not express An Rong and his panic at the moment, he had never heard of this magical species.

"It's just a bedbug, don't move, I'll get it off for you." Yan Che couldn't help it anymore, he almost laughed while clutching his stomach.

"F*ck, shit, shit!!! Brother, help!!! Help me get it down!!! Quick, quick, quick!!!" Rao is young and strong, Wen Neng fights a troll, Wu Neng beats a school bully, Today, it will be in the hands of this little bug.

Yan Che grew up in the woods in the mountains, so he was used to being with insects.How could An Rongyu, who could be regarded as spoiled and pampered, ever suffer this kind of aggrieved, he doesn't pay attention to the big and tall people who can be hit by his fists, even this little bug that he can't beat or dare to touch is simply his natural enemy.

Holding back his smile, Yan Che picked up a branch, stretched it towards An Ronghe's head, and then stopped in mid-air.He took a deep breath, and fiddled with the speed of light.

"Okay, it's on the ground, be careful not to step on it." Yan Che, who knows the power of Sister Smelly, said seriously.

Where did he say that An Rongyu had jumped far away the moment the branch fell.

"Fuck!!! Scared me to death!!! Brother!!! This is too fucking scary!!!" An Rongyu, who usually spoke softly to Yan Che, couldn't hold back anymore, panting With a rough breath, he put his hands in his sleeves and quickly scratched his hair.After making sure there are no strange objects, pick up a thin branch and use it as a weapon.

"Hahahahaha..." Yan Che also laughed unceremoniously for a long time, and finally stopped a second before he was about to pass out, and slowly breathed, "Have you never hit Big Sister Smelly?"

"Don't talk about fighting, I haven't even seen it..." An Rongyu, who has been living in a high-rise commercial building and doesn't like to go outdoors, has never seen this new thing, and now he only regrets why he refused. He bought the fishing hat his mother wanted to buy for him.

"I reckon it fell from a tree, otherwise with the insect repellant we both wear, it would never be able to do it by itself." After analyzing the enemy's situation, it can be regarded as a little comfort for An Rong—this was just an accident, The probability of an accident happening is very small. "But if you see this kind of bug again in the future, don't hit it."

"I... I just ran away, how can I see what it looks like..." An Rong felt aggrieved, and he felt that even if he knew what this bug looked like, he would definitely stay away from it if he encountered it.

Continue to walk on the mountain path, but the teenagers among them seem to be a little bit like soldiers, fighting with the air with twigs.

Seeing that An Rongyu was fascinated by what he heard, Yan Che continued the topic above and talked about his history of playing with insects.If you are full of wine and food, you just want to have fun, and you can eat wild fruits comfortably, so you have to find something for entertainment.The leader of their small group is a brat who claims to be fearless. His surname is Guo, and he calls himself "Guo Daxia".Go up to catch big geese in the yard, go down to catch grasshoppers in the grass, there is nothing he dare not touch.

When Yan Che was young, there were no mobile phones or computers, and the children's play methods were simple but never boring.Because of his talent, he can always complete his homework quickly, and even spends more time playing games than his peers.He followed Guo Daxia through the mountains and forests like that, and wherever he went, the insects were quiet and the birds were scattered.

Locusts the size of a palm were hung on the window sill by their feet; grasshoppers the size of little fingers were caught and released, and then caught and released again; Sneaking at the dragonfly on the leaves; shutting off the twinkling fireflies with both hands; frightening the girls with the caterpillars on the branches...

Of course, this is just an ordinary bug. Almost all the children who grew up in the country have played with it, and there will be more serious ones later.After confirming that An Rongyu still wanted to listen, Yan Che happily spoke again.

On a midsummer night before An Rongyu was born, Xiao Yan Che had just come out of the shower and was about to go to the closet to get clothes when he was suddenly stunned—a super long centipede with rainbow colors all over its body.

Hearing this, An Rongyu asked before he could shudder, "Brother, what is rainbow color?"

"Good question, I don't know how to describe it. But you have blown soap bubbles, right? It's the kind of strangely shaped seven-color light that will appear on the bubbles in the sun." It seems to be worried about An Rong and Lian Bubbles Yan Che looked at him questioningly.

"Oh, that one, I see, there was the one that kids were blowing on the avenue just now. Go on." An Rongyu suddenly realized that he had never blown bubbles.There are so many ways for children to play now. Soap bubbles should have withdrawn from the stage of history long ago, but recently they have become more and more popular in some tourist attractions. Girls and children are willing to buy a bottle to enjoy this original. An ecological way of entertainment, but the price has also risen.

Back to the colorful glazed centipede.Originally, centipedes were a common species for Xiao Yanche, but the protagonist of that night was not only bigger than he knew, but also the radiant seven colors shone brightly on the dark brown oily body, which scared him a lot. Time forgot to scream.

Creatures like centipedes are inherently terrifying, and they are also poisonous. Even Guo Daxia, who thinks he is full of courage, would not dare to play with them.It wasn't until the refined centipede moved lazily that Xiao Yan Che let out a shrill cry.

When the parents heard the news and arrived, they were obviously terrified.The two looked at each other, and finally decided to try with insecticide.Protecting Xiao Yanche behind him, Yan's father pressed the button mercilessly.The familiar and unpleasant white mist sprayed out and hit the centipede directly.

Uncle Centipede, who was pretending to be dead, suddenly began to crawl along the closet, and the mist followed him all the way like a shadow.Finally, when he was about to climb to the top, the old bug fell limply.

The family covered their noses and observed quietly for a few seconds.After finding that the centipede turned over and stopped moving, he took a broom and dustpan and shoveled it out.

The good neighbors have already come to watch the fun - in the Tongzilou of that era, every household knew everything, got along well with each other, and would do their best to help when they were busy or small.There was a family who raised two chickens in the yard, and it was said that they would let the chickens have a full meal.

Uncle Centipede didn't know whether he was really dead or pretended to be dead, so he was dumped in the yard for people to watch.In order to let everyone see the colorful streamer on its back, it was turned over on its side.It has to be said that this uncomfortable face, coupled with the weird color, can make children haunted tonight.

After a while, two big cocks were driven over.Chickens can feed on centipedes, and Xiao Yanche has seen these two roosters with beautiful tail feathers peck at passing hapless centipedes before.But the roosters, who usually show off their might, circled Grandpa Centipede twice before running away.

The owner of the chicken has obviously never seen this scene - why hasn't our big rooster eaten?

More and more people gathered to watch, and everyone discussed it in one go, and finally unanimously decided that this is probably a fine centipede, so the rooster was too frightened to eat it.

I don't know which heartless person brought the child to see it. The three or four-year-old child finally cried out.After seeing all the excitement, no one dared to touch this "improved" giant centipede, and let it lie quietly in the yard.

The weirdest thing is that the next morning, this big centipede disappeared.

An Rongyu shuddered. He was sweating all over, but he still had goose bumps all over his body, and his expression was quite uncomfortable.He had never seen a centipede before, let alone one so big and colorful as soap bubbles.

I don't know if Yan Che told it like a horror story on purpose. Anyway, at the end of the story, the big centipede really disappeared. Eaten by other things, in short, no one has seen the same style again.

An Rongyu thought back on his childhood, and instantly felt that it was really lackluster.Although I have changed houses, but they are all in the commercial housing, not to mention the neighbors, even the opposite door may not know each other.There are no fruits and vegetables grown by old farmers, no wild fruits growing everywhere, no various insects to catch and play with, and no scary-looking giant centipedes.It seems that in addition to computers, mobile phones, and various game consoles, the healthiest way to play is to play basketball.

Not satisfied enough to hear it, the curious boy urged Yan Che to continue telling the anecdotes and strange things he had seen.

Yan Che thought for a while, and seemed to have decided to play a big game.After repeatedly confirming An Rong and being able to tolerate more serious stories, he continued to tell.

Speaking of that residential area, it extends in all directions. Xiao Yanche usually takes a ten-minute bluestone road to and from school. In addition, there are several roads of different shapes that lead directly to various places.The best way to go is the concrete road leading to the factory at the foot of the mountain—two-way two-lane, but there were few private cars in those days, and it was impossible for ordinary workers’ families to buy a car, so although it can accommodate two cars in parallel, it is still There is no dividing line, and few cars usually drive on that road.

The cement road is a winding mountain road, with residences on one side and hillsides on the other, with countless hemp leaves growing—Yan Che also doesn't know what the scientific name of this common botanical is, but it's just what the old family members call it.The hemp leaves are clump after clump, covering the sky and covering the earth, and they grow all the way up the steep cliff.

The large leaves are round in shape, with serrated edges, and the outer leaves end with sharp corners. If the part connected to the stem is not round, it looks like a heart at first glance.The sunny side of the leaf is emerald green with distinct lines, and the underside is fuzzy white.Yan Che's mother often picks some to wash plastic bottles - there are clear and clean springs in the mountains, and the drinking water for Xiao Yanche's family comes from this.

But this harmless plant is also the best food for caterpillars.

Seeming to have a premonition, An Rong frowned, and listened patiently. He would never have imagined that what happened later was far beyond his imagination.

It was another summer vacation, and Xiao Yanche lived year after year stealing food, eating melons and catching bugs.But for some reason this year, there was a big outbreak of caterpillars - the long concrete road was densely packed with caterpillars.The hemp leaves next to them were even more appalling. They were either leftovers that had been eaten, or there were several larvae gnawing on each leaf.

The picture is extremely scary, but it is not a problem for children who don't know what intensive phobia is.It's just that adults have avoided this road intentionally or unintentionally.

Under the leadership of Guo Daxia, the big guy decided to eliminate harm for the people and clean up this group of caterpillars occupying their homes.They are going to find some plastic plates to tie to the shoes, and then go to step on these caterpillars.

That residential area has firewood sheds—unheard of in Anrong and nature, similar to storage rooms, built side by side opposite the houses, one for each house.When the house was first built, some families would put some dry firewood inside, so it was called a firewood shed.Later, it gradually started to burn coal, and it was used to pile up sundries.Because they won't put anything valuable, many heads of household just block it with a plastic board and it's over.

Over time, there are very few families using firewood sheds, and most of them have already been dilapidated.Those plastic plates were collected by Guo Daxia and distributed to the little heroes.

They were folded into small pieces three to four times larger than the shoes, and tied to the feet with hemp ropes. After trying to walk normally, the group of young children walked up the thick shoes one by one under the amazed eyes of everyone. Swarm of caterpillars.

Originally, he didn't want to participate in such a disgusting thing, so Xiao Yanche flinched temporarily.But under Guo Daxia's cynicism, he still bit the bullet and rushed to the battlefield - although he regretted it as soon as he took the first kick.

The plastic plate on the feet is about [-] centimeters square, and he can only walk with his legs spread out. This is not an easy task for the young Yan Che.And the rope that is not tied regularly makes walking more painful.

Yan Che had already forgotten what it was like to step on the caterpillar that day, he only roughly remembered that his foot was soft when he stepped on it, his mind was blank, how could he pay attention to whether the pulp would burst or not.

Hearing this, An Rongyu felt slightly nauseated.He had seen caterpillars, but not so many.Some things may not be scary enough to see with your own eyes, but with the help of imagination, they are really scarier than ghosts.

Just when An Rongyu thought the story would end so disgustingly, Yan Che sneered as if he guessed it right.

"You thought it was over?" He snorted coldly, "Are you still listening?"

An Rongyu nodded, signaling to finish listening to the story.

Xiao Yanche endured his nausea and walked a few steps, still hesitating what to do next time, when he heard an extremely miserable cry not far away - Guo Daxia was lying down in the insect pool at the moment and rolled up.And those frightened caterpillars are crawling all over the world, watching Guo Daxia about to turn into a bugman.

No longer caring about face, Xiao Yanche took the lead and ran back.Fortunately, he was the last one to set off, and within a few steps, he ran to the safe zone.Seeing this, the other children also lost their souls. Some were so frightened that they burst into tears and did not dare to move, and some screamed and ran back.

I forgot how I got out of the sea of ​​insects that day, Xiao Yanche washed up and fell asleep after being scolded for a while, but I heard that Guo Daxia, I don’t know how he was fished out, he was stung with rashes, and there was no one on his body Skin.The parents tried their best to hold back a laugh and scold him, but they didn't dare to beat him again.Finally, watching Guo Daxia receiving treatment in the hospital, he finally couldn't hold back... a burst of thunderous laughter.

Since then, Guo Daxia stopped for a whole summer vacation. According to him, he was recuperating at home, and this little reptile couldn't bear him at all.During the summer vacation of the second year, Guo Daxia was another hero and led them to dominate the world again.

Hearing this, An Rongyu finally took a deep breath.He didn't have trypophobia, he thought it would be the most disgusting thing to step on insects and burst his pulp, but after Guo Daxia rolled over caterpillars, he was too scared to breathe.I also thought of the stinky elder sister just now, if I was covered in caterpillars, it would probably be easier to die on the spot.

The two exchanged glances, admiring the hero Guo, who did not leave any psychological shadow after going through such a thing.Fortunately, in the next few years, there was no outbreak of caterpillars again.

"Hero Guo is really not simple, how is he doing now?" An Rongyu was obviously very interested in this legendary figure.

"He was two or three years older than me. Then I moved, and I heard recently that he got married and had a baby."

While the two were talking, they had almost reached the Range Rover platform.Since driving is almost an hour slower than taking the subway, the original plan was to arrive at the destination before eating, but there was a temporary change.

He found a big clean rock, sat on the ground, and gnawed on the biscuits with the energy drink.There was still about half an hour to go, and the reason for stopping to eat was because An Rongyu's stomach was rumbling unsatisfactorily.

It seemed that they were still reminiscing about the story just now. Both of them had poor appetites. After eating a few hastily, they started to move forward again.

He had already changed his backpack once before, at this time An Ronghe involuntarily picked up the one with the tent on his back, and walked beside Yan Che.

Due to the change in altitude, the temperature where the two are located has dropped by nearly 6 degrees.Even so, sweat drenched his whole body, and the thin jacket stuck to his bare skin.If it weren't for the fear of unprovoked attacks from various flying insects, An Rongyu would have already had the urge to open his clothes and speak.

You can see some small wild flowers of various colors one after another on the roadside, but unfortunately there is no fragrance.But the rich tree fragrance in the dense forest is also very comfortable.Occasionally, when meeting a few little flowers he knows, Yan Che will seriously introduce them to An Rongyu.

Before arriving at the destination, the admiration in the young man's heart became stronger - that person not only has a good-looking skin, but also has an interesting soul that is one in a million.

I really want to keep that person for myself, I don't want anyone else to hear these stories.He wants that person to belong to him only, from body to soul, from behavior to thought, everything belongs to him alone.

The author has something to say:

Yan Che's hometown and the two short stories are adapted from Bucai's real experience, adding a little literary narrative, the things are all true~~

Now that I think about it, I admire myself back then, but now I am so afraid of insects that I am dying...
