2. Chapter 2

Kevin's nose itched, and he turned his head and sneezed.

He imagined for a moment the reaction that might have been on the palace side, and only felt that the cold hairs on his arms were lined up.

It's good now, it's hard to ride a tiger.

The little bastard who was tied up as a silkworm chrysalis squirmed twice on the ground, and he couldn't break free of the cane stems on his body, he was anxious and angry, and his face was flushed. He stretched his neck with difficulty, snorted fiercely, and was about to shout when he raised his face, but he was facing Kevin's black face as black as the bottom of a pot, and he immediately swallowed it back, so that he choked to death.

Kevin crouched down in front of him, patted him on the head seemingly lovingly, and asked softly, "Which hand?" ”

The little bastard didn't react for a while: "What? ”

At a young age, his voice should have been clear and crisp, but at this time he was hoarse, not much better than Kevin, and it was obvious that he was not less offended.

Kevin looked at him quietly, but his mouth was still scared: "I asked you which hand grabbed the cowhide bag?" As he spoke, he deliberately touched the back of the short knife with obvious movements.

Little bastard: "......"

His face turned even redder, and he stiffened his neck and said, "I, I just saw it, didn't I shoot a black bug to death?" Big deal, I'll pay you one! ”

Kevin laughed when he heard this, licked his chapped lips, and said, "Oh? How to pay? ”

The boy squirmed twice, sat up on his knees with difficulty, scratched his body with one hand like a chicken claw, grabbed one from his rag-like clothes, and spread it out to Kevin: "Well, give you back a colorful one, and you can fly." ”

Kevin: "......" He couldn't tell for a moment whether the kid was provocative or stupid.

A child's thoughts are often difficult to gauge, and Kevin's understanding of this young creature is based on past experience. It's a pity that the children he has met are more bearish than the other. The one that impressed me the most was especially good at annoying and provocative......

So five minutes later, Kevin relaxed in the river, washing the muddy water from his body, and thinking about how to explain the so-called "resurrection from the dead".

The little bastard, whose mouth seemed to be looking for a beating, was hung on a tall tree by the river, like an upside-down silkworm chrysalis, shaking and howling hoarsely.

He deserved to come from a fighting race like the Giant Beastmen, although he was young, he didn't speak politely at all, and shouted at Kevin: "You actually beat the child, you still have to be ashamed-"

Kevin didn't reply, "Don't." ”

The boy continued to howl, "I'm only eight and a half years old, and I can't even pinch a bug—"

Kevin laughed: "What about ghosts? You can bite my neck if you change your form. ”

Boy: "I'm going to throw up."

Kevin: "Spit on, I don't look at you." ”

The boy faked a cry of "wow".

Kevin: "......"

He howled for a while, only to find that Kevin hadn't even thrown him a superfluous look, but instead packed up and went ashore, carrying a short knife like a water ghost.

The boy was silent.

Kevin hadn't been gone for a long time, and he hadn't made any noise in the silent forest. But when he returned, he was carrying three fat Andoha gophers and a few fist-sized wild bird eggs.

He squatted by the river, skillfully skinned and blooded, plucked out the entrails, drained the water, and then returned to the stand under the tree and roasted them, burying the eggs under the earth of the fire.

Each of the Andoha gophers is the length of an adult's forearm, and they are just the right amount of fat and skinny, and they are shiny and oily under the fire. Kevin crumpled the fruit he had picked up earlier, spread the juice on the crispy surface of the meat, and when it was baked, the aroma became even stronger.

Kevin was turning over the barbecue when he saw something shiny dripping on the ground beside him.

He subconsciously looked up, and found that the little bastard hanging upside down no longer cared about howling, and was dripping saliva with his mouth open.

"I've seasoned enough, I don't need you to add any more ingredients." Kevin said angrily, holding the roast to the side.

The boy was so excited by the smell of food that his stomach began to roar again.

There is nothing more immoral than "feasting in front of a man who is dying of hunger", and the boy finally couldn't help but say, "Why are you so cruel to me?" ”

Kevin sneered at the meat and said casually: "It's already good, I used to bring a bear child who was about the same age as you, and I was much crueler to him than to you." ”

Boy: "......"

He made up a little bit about the state of "much crueler", and suddenly even the cold hair stood up, and his heart said: Aren't you afraid that he will grow up and put on your sack in the future......

When Kevin first defrauded the corpse from the ground, his face was still stained with black mud, except for being thin, he couldn't see more features, and now that the mud had been washed clean, the original appearance of Su Bai Sven was completely revealed.

The firelight softens the line of his brow bones and the bridge of his nose, and accentuates the shadow cast by his eyelashes, finding an excellent balance between sharpness and beauty.

In good conscience, the little bastard thinks Kevin is the best-looking adult he's ever seen......

It's the most unadult-like he's ever seen!

"He's actually eating it himself," the boy spilled in his heart.

The hungrier you are, the less you can gobble up food. Kevin is well aware of this truth, and he has already given birth to a deputy Sven Xiang, and he eats unhurried and slowly.

As a result, before he could eat a few bites, he couldn't help but say, "If you stare at me again, your eyes should fall out......"

After speaking, Kevin glanced at the boy, but saw that he pursed his lips and stared, and his fierce and stubborn expression was inexplicably a little aggrieved.

Kevin: "......"

The eyes of this little bastard still have the shadow of a feline, the color is light and translucent, and the pupils are big and round in the night, which is extraordinarily clear, and with this expression, Kevin reminds him of the little young master of the Pach family many years ago-

The bear kid he just mentioned.

At that time, Kevin had just entered the reserve army, and it was rare to have a slightly longer spring break, and he wanted to loosen his bones, but he was entrusted by someone halfway and was asked to go to Pach's house to help take care of the little young master.

That kid is a real bear......

is stubborn and stubborn, and his lifelong pursuit is to go against others, especially Kevin.

At that time, Kevin himself was not very old, and he had the unique blood of a young man, and he was even more jerk than now. In order to stop the boy from going crooked, Kevin beat him several times.

Every time he was beaten, the expression of the little young master was the same as that of this boy, fierce, stubborn, unwilling, and a little aggrieved.

For many years after that, Kevin never had the chance to see the kid again. The last time he heard the news, he was in the marching tent in the Bone Desert, listening to the gossip of the officers in the same tent saying that "the Pach family is finished".

In that way, after so many years, the grass in the little young master's cemetery has changed a few stubbles, and it is impossible to see it again in the future.

Thinking of this, Kevin, who had already cultivated into a thousand-year-old king and eight essences, actually felt a little guilty when he saw it.

So he coughed in a terrible way, and just as he was about to stand up and untie the boy, he heard the cub cry: "Give me meat, I will call you Daddy!" ”

Kevin: "......"

It's like a fart with that Pach......

In the end, the little bastard was put down, and he was holding the roast gopher by the fire and eating it all over his mouth.

Kevin actually counted this cub's share when he hunted game, but he didn't expect him to be so able to eat, and the skinny and big man actually ate two gophers and three bird eggs......

Seeing that, he couldn't help but remind: "You'd better keep a little on your body just in case, no one will share your food after tomorrow." ”

Without thinking, the boy asked, "Why?" ”

"Because I'll leave as soon as it's dawn." Kevin said in passing.

"Can I come with you, it's like a labyrinth, I've been going around for days, and I'm still looking for someone......" The boy muttered vaguely as he nibbled on the last bit of meat.

It's a pity that Kevin didn't care.

He was estimating that, according to his previous understanding, it would take about two days from the time the letter spread to the priest to the arrival of the people sent by the palace to this dense forest. And he didn't plan to meet with those people until he had figured out how to explain his situation. So one day was used to rest and adjust, and another day was enough for him to leave the dense forest and find another place to take refuge.

He thinks beautifully, but it's a pity that God likes to get along with him.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was a little dark, a young man with short blond hair and a team of elite cavalry descended from the sky in front of Kevin, completely shocking his already light sleepiness.

"Mio?" Kevin looked at the blonde youth in the lead in surprise, almost thinking that he was dreaming.

Mio was still sitting on the back of the vulture with his back straight, and after seeing Kevin's face clearly, he almost fell off his head.

He lowered his head and buried it behind the vulture's raised neck for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Wait, wait...... Let me pause for a moment, I feel as if I'm hallucinating. ”

At this time, it was impossible to avoid it, Kevin swept to the boy who was waiting to be attacked, and simply said frankly: "No, it's not an illusion, it's me, I'm still alive." ”

"I personally recovered your body from the battlefield! How could you possibly ...... "How can you still be alive?!" And how could it be possible in Andoha ?!

Mio was excited and in a trance, his throat split in the middle of his words, and he broke the sound directly, and he couldn't continue the second half of the sentence.

Kevin patted the black vulture on the head and said, "It's a long story. ”

Mio, who was holding his breath and waiting for an explanation, almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, he rolled over and got off the back of the vulture, and the whole team of cavalry behind him also "snapped" to the ground, all of which were terrifying.

"I don't know how I ended up in Adoha, but I was found in the vicinity, and it is said that I was wearing the heavy armor of an ordinary cavalryman and was in a state of suspended animation." Kevin said solemnly: "In fact, I have been unconscious since then, and I didn't open my eyes until recently. ”

As he spoke, he patted the boy on the shoulder, "Oh - it was the child's family who rescued him." ”

Boy: "......" liar?!

Probably because of the excessive excitement, Miao didn't have the brains to think about it for a while, and actually believed Kevin's nonsense, and said, "What are you doing to make such a wolf?" ”

Kevin waved his hand: "Don't mention it, I was going to go through this dense forest, go all the way north along the East Path, go back to St. Antis first and then look for you, just take this little cub to the north to see, but I got lost, I couldn't get out for a few days, and I had to pinch and burst a letter sand last night." ”

The boy especially wanted to expose his nonsense and make him eat it again...... However, the mouth of the cannibal is soft, and besides, it will be beaten, so it can only be half-pestled in place, looking at the face of the blonde young man with mixed feelings with a toothache.

Miao glared at Kevin for a long time, and finally confirmed that everything in front of him was real. He couldn't help but hug Kevin fiercely, let go again, took a step back and gave a sword salute dignifiedly, and said, "Mio Scott, deputy commander of the Bronze Army and your most loyal friend, leads the new first elite team to welcome your return!" ”

The boy was dumbfounded: "...... what?!"

Kevin smiled and patted Mio's shoulder and said, "Long time no see." ”

Confirming that his best friend was still alive, Miao was more excited than ever, leading Kevin and the dazed boy out of the jungle while telling Kevin about the events of the past few years.

When it came to the change of power of the ruler, Kevin finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait, what did you just say that the new emperor who just succeeded to the throne is called?" ”

Miao said, "Osvid Knoh, what's wrong?" ”

Kevin: "Shhh ”

"Did you forget? Oh yes, you didn't react to normal, Majesty Xià changed his surname. Miao said, "His surname was Pahe before, the youngest son of the Pahe family, do you remember?" ”

Kevin: "...... remember, how could you not remember, last night you remembered how cruel it was to him......

"I know, you must want to ask why he went from Pach to Kernow, right? It's a long story, I'll explain it to you slowly when I get back, after all, it's not convenient now. Miao blinked gossipily, which pot was not opened, "Speaking of which, I remember that you knew him before, when he was seven or eight years old, didn't you beat him?" ”

Kevin wiped his face and said thank you so much for reminding me......

However, as soon as he thought about it, his heart became bigger again, and he said disapprerovitically: "What hundred years of old accounts, I must have forgotten it a long time ago, and the people who ascended to the emperor will not be so careful." ”

Miao agreed: "That's right, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't have come with him personally." ”

Kevin braked suddenly, turned around without even hesitating, and said while walking in the other direction: "You guys go first, I still have some things, and I'll solve them-"

Before he finished speaking, he paused for life.

Because he was so immortal, he had just walked a few steps when he saw a tall man come out from behind a tall tree, holding his arms straight in front of him, looking at him condescendingly, and then said with a smile: "Long time no see, Fassbinder...... Excellency? ”

Kevin's right eyelid flickered: "......"
