The heart is sorrowful, the pen is hard to write, the vicissitudes of the right path, and the version is lucky. As it turned out, Hauser's fears about the withholding of rations were completely unfounded.

Since that day, Meng Sanshi and Huang Erzhuang saw the sober corpse Tianqing, and the strange news that Hao Junshi's house hid a stunning beauty spread in the Yue Si Village.

After that, it quickly attracted several groups of bandit sightseeing groups who admired the beauty.

When the first group of onlookers arrived at the scene, Hao Se had just finished changing the medicine for Corpse Tianqing, and had just sat down opposite Corpse Tianqing to drink water and take a breath, but unexpectedly, Huang Erzhuang suddenly led a group of men to rush in.

"Master Hao, I heard that dying kid is a beauty?!"

"Master Hao, we have never seen a beauty, hurry up and let us open our eyes"

"Poof——!

Hao Se was shocked, and a mouthful of water sprayed straight onto Corpse Tianqing's face.

The corpse Tianqing's face was dripping, his eyes were round, and he looked at Hao Se with a look of surprise.

can be seen in the eyes of Huang Erzhuang and a gang of mountain bandits, that is, a weak beauty with beautiful eyes who don't want to be unwanted, out of the water, hibiscus, pear blossoms, rainy days, vast fields, wind-blown grass, low cattle and sheep......

After the bandits stopped breathing and half a cup of tea, they all retreated silently with red faces.

Hauser: "......"

Corpse Tianqing silently wiped the water from his face with his sleeve.

When the second group of onlookers appeared, Hao Se was sitting at the dining table intently and making steamed buns in his porridge bowl.

Without warning, Huang Dazhuang rushed into the gate with a shiny bald head:

"Master Hao, hurry up, let our brothers see the beauty hidden in your house!"

"Yes, yes!"

A group of brothers behind him rushed in, and another one slammed the table crookedly, spilling all the steamed buns that Hao Se had easily soaked on the table.

"Hey!" Hauser snapped.

"Huang Dazhuang, what kind of eyes do you have? This person's face is yellow like a bitter cauliflower, how can he be a beauty?"

"Of course he can't see it with his eyes closed now, but as soon as this kid's eyes open, it's - what do you mean by that word, yes, it's beautiful!"

The bandits completely ignored Hao Se, and rushed to the bed, pointing around the corpse Tianqing.

"Hey, hey!" Hauteng stood up suddenly, and the dead fish eyes glared at the crowd.

"Why don't we wake him up?"

"No, they're still recuperating. ”

The bandits huddled together and muttered.

"Ancestors! Get out of Lao Tzu!"

Hao Se was suddenly furious, raised his hand and overturned the dining table, and the rice porridge and steamed buns on the table were scattered all over the ground.

There was a moment of dead silence.

The bandits slowly turned their heads, looking at Hao Se's pair of dead fish eyes with a fierce look on their faces, and their bandit qi soared, so it was terrifying.

Everyone swallowed in unison.

"Hao, Hao Junshi, you are busy first!"

"We still have something to do, let's withdraw first!"

As he spoke, he immediately fled in the form of a bird and beast.

Hao Se stared at everyone's backs fiercely for a long time, and looked back at the ground-

"Ahh

Corpse Tianqing slowly opened his eyes, looking at Hao Se, who was squatting on the ground with a depressed face and mourning for his lunch, a faint smile flashed in his clear eyes.

The third group of onlookers was led by Yang Ermu, and when the raid was dark, Hao Se was laying the ground for himself.

"The surname Hao, I heard that ......" Yang Ermu didn't even knock on the door, stepped in, and coincidentally stepped on the pillow that Hao Se had just arranged.

Hao Se looked up, and the dead fish's eyelids twitched wildly.

Yang Ermu was dumbfounded, stupidly looking at the corpse Tianqing who was sitting on the bed, obviously in a state of astonishment.

"Your sister!

Hao Se immediately became angry, flew up and kicked Yang Ermu's buttocks, and instantly kicked Yang Ermu out of sight.

The corpse on the bed shook his eyelashes slightly.

"This is not good, this is not good!" Hao Se scurried around on the ground, "these bandits are obviously hungry for too long......, and they choose to be tasked with dogs! !" Hao Se suddenly turned his head to stare at the corpse Tianqing, "Brother corpse, you better squeeze with Lao Tzu!"

Corpse Tianqing's eyes suddenly rounded.

"Don't worry, rest assured! Lao Tzu is definitely a righteous gentleman, this is all to protect the corpse brother's chastity!" Hao Se rolled up the quilt twice and ran to the bedside, pushed the corpse Tianqing and the cover inside, and lay on the outside wrapped in the quilt, with a firm face, "Hmph, Lao Tzu, I will stay by this bedside, I want to see which ambitious leopard dares to touch the tiger's buttocks!"

The corpse Tianqing lay straight on the inside of the bed with round eyes, facing the earthen wall, and his whole body was stiff.

"Brother corpse, don't worry, Lao Tzu is here...... Whew...... Absolute...... No problem...... ...... "Hauser's half-asleep voice came from outside.

Corpse Tianqing's eyelids blinked slightly, paused, blinked again, exhaled a long breath, and slowly closed his eyelids as Hao Se muttered in his dreams.

In the next half month, the number of mountain bandits who came to visit the beauties in groups was increasing day by day, and even more, there were frequent tricks, sending flowers, rice, water, quilts, and even some people volunteered to help Hao Se repair the house and repair the roof......

The most amazing thing is that even Comrade Yang Ermu, who was the first to pick the door in Yueqi Village, sent two old hens for the first time, claiming to make soup for the corpse Tianqing to replenish his body-

In this regard, Hao Se only wants to say one sentence:

This is really a superficial world of looking at faces!

And as the body of the corpse Tianqing is getting better day by day, the momentum of this beauty is becoming more and more obvious.

First of all, the corpse Tianqing's originally thin cheeks gradually grew flesh, and he became more and more handsome day by day, definitely worthy of being a sword with eyebrows like a sword, a nose like a hanging gall, thin lips like a shaved mouth, and clear eyes hiding the moon; although the complexion was still a little miserable, but at a glance, it was a living beauty embryo. Especially in this Yue Si Village, where the appearance is generally cheating, the image of the corpse Tianqing is simply a beautiful crown bandit, a veritable "village flower".

Secondly, as the wound of the corpse Tianqing gradually improved, after slowly getting out of bed and walking, his posture became more erect; although he was a little thin, and the borrowed clothes were slightly empty on his body, he had already begun to show the appearance of a jade tree facing the wind when he walked.

From a half-human, half-ghost figure in the shape of a skeleton to what it is now—it's a miracle.

And this kind of miraculous change is staged every day on the corpse Tianqing.

Hao Se always has a feeling of horror in front of the corpse Tianqing that is becoming more and more amazing day by day every day-

Did you save a big man!

However, after asking Meng Sanshi for verification many times, the answer he got was that he had never heard of such a person in the rivers and lakes, especially the surname "corpse".

After receiving such a reply, Hao Se finally ate a stable meal for a few days.

But as the corpse Tianqing recovered better and better, the reputation of the beauty became bigger and bigger, and finally, it still alarmed the big boss of Yue Si Zhai - Mao Jindao.

*

"Poof-" A mouthful of rice porridge squirted straight out of Hao Se's mouth.

Meng Sanshi at the door looked at Hao Se's amazing rice porridge with a look of surprise, and sprayed it towards the corpse Tianqing's face with lightning speed.

But the corpse Tianqing on the other side of the table didn't even raise his eyelids, but just held the bowl and turned to one side to achieve perfect dodge.

"Ahem, ahem, third master, what did you just say?!" Hao Se wiped his mouth and asked urgently.

Meng Sanshi stared at the corpse Tianqing's eyes with a glimmer of light, paused, and looked at Hao Se: "The big boss wants to meet the corpse brother." ”

"Isn't the big boss practicing in retreat to prepare for the rudder test of the Juyi Gate in half a month?"

"Master Hao, the big boss is in a hurry, you and the corpse brothers are ready to come over. Meng Sanshi glanced at the corpse Tianqing with a meaningful face, lightly put down a meaningful line, and turned to leave.

"What the hell is this!" Hao Se sat on the stool, hugged his head and shouted.

A steamed bun was handed to Hao Se's eyelids.

Hao Se looked up at the opposite side, although there was a sallow face in front of him, but his eyebrows were picturesque, beautiful and delicious, especially a pair of eyes, except for Hao Se, a relative roommate who barely had a little resistance, the other bandits in the village were basically in a state of forgetting to breathe half a cup of tea every time they saw it.

Alas...... Oh no!

Hao Se let out a long sigh: "Brother corpse, we are in big trouble this time!"

The corpse Tianqing lowered his eyes, broke off the steamed buns one by one with his fingers, and soaked them in Hao Se's porridge bowl one by one.

Hao Se held his forehead: "Brother corpse, now is not the time to leisurely make steamed buns!

The corpse Tianqing is still breaking steamed buns unhurriedly.

Hao Se suddenly became anxious: "Brother corpse, I'm really honest! Our hobby of this big boss is to grab a man's hole, don't say that you are good-looking, even Lao Tzu's posture is almost destroyed by a hot hand——"

After breaking the steamed bun with a hand, the corpse Tianqing suddenly raised his eyes, and a pair of clear eyes looked straight at Hao Se.

Hao Se suddenly felt that the golden light in front of him was shining, and he took two deep breaths to stabilize his mind: "This is not the point, the point is - Brother Corpse, as long as you show up, you will be kidnapped by the big boss and taken to the cave room!

After speaking, he looked at the corpse Tianqing with a pair of dead fish eyes that were very worried, sincere, and very melancholy.

The corpse looked at Hao Se quietly for a long time, blinked his long eyelashes, lowered his head and continued to break steamed buns in Hao Se's porridge bowl.

"Hey!"

Half of the steamed bun is broken.

"Hey, hey!"

A third remains.

"Hey, hey, hey!!"

All done.

Have you heard Lao Tzu's words?!"

Hauser's dead fish eyes were erected, and he stood up and was about to flip the table.

But as soon as the table lifted a corner, it was pressed back by the corpse Tianqing's palm.

Hause, who was carrying the table, froze.

Corpse Tianqing pushed the porridge bowl full of steamed buns in front of Hao Se's eyes.

A green tendon burst out from the top of Hao Se's head: "Corpse Tianqing, when is this happening, and you still eat a fart-"

Corpse Tianqing raised his eyes and frowned.

Hao Se suddenly felt a chill behind him, and immediately coaxed, sat back on the stool, and reluctantly ate the steamed buns.

"Brother corpse, Lao Tzu is serious! That big boss Mao Jindao is not a vegetarian! Lao Tzu can't watch you fall into the mouth of a tiger, senior brother!" While eating, he did not forget to explain the seriousness of the matter to Corpse Tianqing.

looked at the corpse Tianqing again, but he looked indifferent, unhurriedly finished eating the steamed bun and drinking the porridge, and then waited quietly for Hao Se to finish eating.

Hao Se's dead fish eyes lit up, and he poured the porridge and steamed buns into his mouth, and looked at the corpse Tianqing with an expectant expression: "Brother corpse, do you have a way?"

Corpse Tianqing got up, walked to Hao Se's side, gently patted Hao Se's shoulder, and walked out.

"Brother corpse, you really have a way!" Hao Se was suddenly overjoyed and hurriedly chased out.

In the morning breeze, the corpse Tianqing walked steadily and firmly.

Hao Se, who was chasing after him in a hurry, looked at the back in front of him, and his heart was restless and unconsciously quieted.

The person in front of him, with a tall posture, elegant cloth clothes, and a few strands of Ling hair scattered in the bun that was randomly raised with chopsticks, fluttering lightly in the morning breeze, faintly revealing a trace of dust.

It's really a weak willow in the wind...... Ahh

Hao Se rubbed his eyes and sighed.

*

When the two of them came to the Yueqi Village Hall, the entire thatched hall was crowded with mountain bandits from all over the village, and everyone looked excited and expectant, looking at Hao Se with blank eyes......

Ahem, well—it's looking at the corpse behind Hao Se.

"Hauser has seen the big bosses. Under the tremendous pressure of everyone's eyes, Hao Se walked to the seat of the golden knife with difficulty, and saluted with fists.

"Master Hao doesn't have to be polite. Although Mao Jindao is known as Hao Junshi, a pair of eyes have long been glued to the corpse Tianqing behind Hao Se, "The one behind you is the corpse Tianqing brother." ”

“…… Is it ......" Hao Se looked at the appearance of Mao Jindao's eyes shining, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart, and retreated half a step back without a trace, blocking the front of the corpse Tianqing.

"Brother Corpse, raise your head and let me see. Mao Jindao couldn't wait.

"Forehead ......" Hao Se twitched, and was about to find an excuse to refuse, but suddenly there was a weight on his shoulder, and it was the corpse Tianqing who slapped his palm on his shoulder, stepped in front of him, hugged his fist at the golden knife, and slowly raised his head.

In an instant, the court is full of clear breezes, and the wind is condensed in the year.

In the center of the crowd, the tall man stood upright, plain clothes and coarse cloth, his hair in a bun, but it was difficult to hide his clear and dignified air; his yellow face was like wax, and his thin white lips were difficult to cover his beautiful facial features, flying sideburns and sword eyebrows; a pair of eyes, as if hiding the bright moon on the autumn night and the morning star on the cold day, with only one eye, his heartbeat was silent, and his breath was stopped.

The whole hall instantly fell into a strange state of dead silence, and I don't know how long it took, when everyone was suffocating in their chests, they suddenly came back to their senses, all of them were red and red, panting like cows.

Mao Jindao looked shocked, and it took a while to come back to his senses, slowly stood up from the Taishi's chair, walked in front of Corpse Tianqing step by step, and raised his hand to touch Corpse Tianqing's face.

Is it the rhythm of touching your face and grabbing your ass and then burrowing your room?

Hao Se was suddenly shocked, and rushed forward to block the corpse Tianqing.

"Big and slow!"

Mao Jindao's arm was stunned, his face sank, and he frowned and looked at Hao Se: "What does Master Hao mean by this?"

"Haha-" Hao Se laughed dryly, "the big boss is cautious! As the saying goes, a good horse doesn't eat back grass, ahhh, it's a rabbit that doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, the big boss, the corpse brother is also a brother of our village, you can't ......"

"Master Hao!" Mao Jin Dao's eyes narrowed, "It's not your turn to intervene in my Mao Jin Dao's private affairs!"

"It's not...... Listen to me first...... Master," Hausel sweated.

"Get out of the way!" Mao Jindao was immediately furious, and slapped his backhand.

Hao Se only felt a flower in front of him, and the sharp palm of the golden knife suddenly fanned in front of him!

it!

Hauser was stupefied.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the wind of the golden knife suddenly stagnated, and it hovered half an inch from Hao Se's ear.

There was a moment of dead silence.

Hao Se turned his eyes frame by frame, and the dead fish's eyes suddenly became round.

The thick arm of the small stump of the gold knife was actually caught by a sallow hand.

And that sallow hand......

Hao Se swallowed and raised his eyes.

The corpse Tianqing sword on his side raised his eyebrows coldly, his eyes were clear, and he was staring at the golden sword, like a blade of ice out of the sheath.

I'll it!

In front of the mound, one person was lying on the ground, one person was sitting upright, and one person was squatting on the side, with very different expressions, it was Hao Se, Corpse Tianqing and Huang Erzhuang who lived for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

"Big boss, woo woo...... The third master, the second master...... Woo ah, big brother, big brother...... Ahhh......h

Huang Erzhuang knelt in front of the grave, wailing and crying, full of tears.

In the midst of the painful crying, Hao Se sat cross-legged and silent, looking up at the cloudless sky.

Corpse Tianqing squatted behind Hao Se, and carved the last name on the charred wooden board with a stroke of a firewood knife.

"I want revenge! I want revenge!" Huang Erzhuang slammed his hands on the ground, tears fell to the ground, and shouted in a hissed voice, "I must take revenge!!"

A wisp of morning breeze blew Hao Se's sideburns and hair, and the dead fish's eyelids moved: "Revenge?

"For the big boss, for the third master, for the second master, for the eldest brother, and for the brothers in the village!" Huang Erzhuang turned his head and cried.

Hao Se looked at Huang Erzhuang quietly for a long time, slowly lowered his eyelids, and suddenly, laughed in a low voice: "Ha, hahaha, hahahaha-"

Corpse Tianqing's subordinates paused, and suddenly raised their eyes to look at Hao Se, their eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Hao, Hao Junshi?" Huang Erzhuang had tears on his face, his face was slightly stunned, "What are you laughing at?!"

"Because it's ridiculous. Hao Se slowly raised his eyes, a pair of dead fish eyes were like a pair of quagmire stones, the ink was cold, "The big boss and all the killers died together, the corpses were buried in the sea of fire, only a pile of ashes remained, who do you want to seek revenge?"

"Find the person in charge behind you to take revenge!" Huang Erzhuang roared angrily.

"Who is the master behind it?" Hao Se raised his eyes and looked at Huang Erzhuang.

"I, I—I'll definitely be able to find out! I remember the clothes of those killers, I'll definitely be able to find the person behind them!" Huang Erzhuang jumped up suddenly, blushing and roaring.

Hao Se blinked his eyelids, got up and patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, walked in front of Huang Erzhuang, and looked up at Huang Erzhuang, who was half a head taller than him, "Are you stupid?"

"What?" Huang Erzhuang's eyes widened.

"Okay, you go!" Hao Se stared at Huang Erzhuang with dead fish eyes, "Go to the swords, swords, shadows, bloody and sinister rivers and lakes to find out the black hand behind the illusory man, and then use your three-legged cat kung fu to take revenge and send him to death! Finally, go to the Yama Hall with Mao Jindao, Yang Ermu, and Meng Sanshi to report! You go!"

"I, I ——!" Huang Erzhuang's eyes bulged, but he couldn't say a word.

"On the day you die, remember to send a letter to Lao Tzu," Hao Se looked at Huang Erzhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Thinking of an acquaintance, Lao Tzu will definitely bring a straw mat to collect your body." ”

Huang Erzhuang clenched his fists and his face was flushed.

"What? Isn't Lao Tzu right?" Hao Se raised a small eyebrow.

Huang Erzhuang gritted his teeth fiercely.

Hao Se took a step back, lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Forget it, you can't take revenge!"

"I-"

"Give up, you don't have that ability. ”

"No, I-"

"Pull it down, you're not the material!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Huang Erzhuang's neck was bruised, and he roared wildly, "I won't give up! I won't give up revenge!"

"They're all dead! they're dead!" Hao Se glared at Huang Erzhuang, his eyes bloodshot, "One hundred dead! It has nothing to do with us!"

"Fart!" Huang Erzhuang's eyes were full of tears, "They are our brothers!

"Brother bullshit!" Hao Se's dead fish eyes were as red as blood, "Hard-pull Lao Tzu into the thief's den, force Lao Tzu to be a dog-headed military advisor, and force Lao Tzu to rob, what kind of brother is this?!"

"You, you!" Huang Erzhuang was so angry that he smoked, "If it weren't for the kindness of the third master to take you in, you would have starved to death! If it weren't for the big boss, the person behind you would have died a long time ago!"

"So what?" Hao Se's eyes burst out, "Lao Tzu and the corpse brother almost lost their lives in order to save them, and now they have bothered to dig pits and bury soil and erect monuments for them, and they have already done their best!"

"You ungrateful brute!" Huang Erzhuang was immediately furious, and threw a punch at Hao Se.

But as soon as the fist was swung out, he suddenly saw a figure flickering, and the fist couldn't be swung anymore - it was the corpse Tianqing who stepped forward and grabbed Huang Erzhuang's fist.

"You're ungrateful!" The next moment, Hao Se suddenly spun around and flew out and kicked Huang Erzhuang's stomach hard.

Huang Erzhuang was kicked back a few feet, sat heavily on the ground, and glared at Hao Se with a shocked face.

The corpse Tianqing's body was stunned, and he turned his head suddenly, and his clear eyes shot directly at Hao Se.

Hao Se's dead fish eyes cracked, and his face was distorted like crying: "Lao Tzu is the one who saved you last night, Lao Tzu is your savior!

"No revenge!" The red blood in the dead fish's eyes gradually melted, turning into two bloody eyes, "No revenge!"

Huang Erzhuang's tears flowed uncontrollably: "You are not my life-saving benefactor! Hao Se! You are a coward! You are a big coward!

shouted, but he broke free from the corpse Tianqing's clamp and ran away in tears.

The corpse Tianqing watched Huang Erzhuang's back disappear into the distance, and turned his head to look at Hao Se.

Hao Se stared at the distance for a long time, wiped his face, turned around and sat down in front of the grave again, grabbed the half-carved wooden tablet of the corpse Tianqing, and continued to carve it.

"Lao Tzu will not take revenge, Lao Tzu will only take revenge when he is crazy!"

The wood knife carved a stroke on the wooden board.

"Why avenge them? Lao Tzu and them are not relatives, friends, friends, why?!"

Wood knife on the wooden board for a meal.

"Brothers? Ridiculous! What kind of brothers are they? They dragged Lao Tzu into the den of thieves, and every day they only had rice porridge and steamed buns, and they didn't even eat a piece of meat; they forced Lao Tzu to be a dog-headed military advisor, and they forced Lao Tzu to memorize ancient poems every day, and they never slept soundly for a night; they forced Lao Tzu to rob them, and forced Lao Tzu to beat them with small branches to practice...... Forced to ......"

Teardrops fell on the wood knife one by one.

“…… That's ...... Which one...... Brother ......"

Crystal water droplets slowly flowed down the three words "Mao Jin Knife" on the stele, dripping on the fingers that were clutching the firewood knife oozing blood.

A salallow hand suddenly grabbed Hao Se's wrist and pulled the wood knife out of Hao Se's hand.

Hao Se slowly raised his head, tears blurred all his vision, and he could no longer see the face of the person in front of him.

"Brother corpse, Lao Tzu is a coward, Lao Tzu is ...... The world's No. 1 cowardly ......"

"It's not. ”

Suddenly, a hoarse voice reached Hauser's ears.

Hao Se's body was shocked, his eyelids blinked, tears rolled down his cheeks, and the young man in his sight gradually became clear.

The yellow-faced young man in front of him looked at him quietly, his eyes were sparkling, as clean as a mountain spring under the night sky.

"Hauser is not a coward. ”

The thin lips opened slightly, and the hoarse voice sounded again.

The surging tears immediately rushed out, and Hao Se suddenly fell to the ground, curled up in a ball, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

"Brother Corpse, that's great, you can speak...... That's great...... Ahh——!hh

Corpse Tianqing squatted beside Hao Se, looking at the back trembling in front of him, in the clear eyes, the water was as white as silver, faintly trembling, the Adam's apple rolled a few times, slowly raised a hand, and gently pressed on Hao Se's shoulder.

"Lao Tzu is a waste, Lao Tzu is a coward, Lao Tzu is cannon fodder, Lao Tzu is not worthy of life - Lao Tzu is a big fool!"

Hao Se couldn't cry.

The water color in the corpse Tianqing's eyes shook, and he slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the blue sky, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "The last words of the golden knife, Hao Seke still remembers?"

Hao Se's body was shocked, and his sobs weakened.

In the flames, the last smile of the golden knife was clearly displayed in front of him frame by frame.

"Go, live!"

The hoarse voice of the corpse Tianqing and the last words of Mao Jindao merged into one sound, like a silk thread, penetrating into the eardrum, sliding into the heart, and tightly grasping the flesh of the heart.

Hauser closed his eyes fiercely, tears sliding down his face, falling to the ground, and finally seeping into the soil, drying.

"I know...... Lao Tzu knows!"

Hao Se slowly straightened up, wiped away his tears with his cuffs, slowly inserted the wooden tablet of the golden knife in his hand in front of the grave, and looked at the three words "golden knife" fixedly.

"Lao Tzu will live! Lao Tzu will live well...... Very good......"

The fingers slowly moved up, and gently covered the three words "Mao Jin Dao", and the tone was condensed:

"Lao Tzu will protect his brothers, protect his friends, and protect everyone - live well!"

As he spoke, Hao Se slowly stood up, closed his eyes quietly for a moment, and turned his head to look back at Corpse Tianqing: "Brother Corpse, are you willing to join me?"

Corpse Tianqing suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Hao Se fixedly.

"With me, become stronger, protect your brothers, protect your friends, and protect your loved ones!"

Under the blue and clear sky, Hao Se's eyes washed with tears were as bright as the most beautiful stars in the sky, and the palms stretched out to him reflected the sun, warm and fiery. 166 Reading Network
