Chapter 16 The Art of Communication
The fat man drew his sword, looked at it, and thrust it back in. I sat at the door and thought about what happened these days, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. From the moment I brought this sword, I started to do strange things. The fat man was distraught, drew his sword again, pointed at the tip of the sword, and said, "Hey! Don't pretend to be dead, you listen to me: I promise to help you, but you can't be too unkind! There are so many things along the way, oh I worry about it every day, but you can sleep peacefully! If you're so unkind, then I'll stop doing it, and I'll find a river and throw you away, and I'll go home!" ”
Not to mention, this sword slept really soundly, and the fat man was still counting on scaring it, so it opened its mouth to beg for mercy, who knew that after staring at it for a long time, it still didn't move. The fat man said "hey" helplessly, and inserted the sword back again, shaking the scabbard and pinning it to his waist.
"Why do you keep talking to him? He doesn't answer you either? "A pleasant voice like a silver bell, you can imagine just listening to the voice, the person who spoke was smiling.
The fat man looked up and saw that the little fox had returned. She is now a woman, but after all, she is a demon, how long can she send a bowl? At this point, the kung fu has returned to the fat man. The fat man is not surprised, those two didn't even leave footprints when they went out yesterday!
Just right! "Come on." The little fat man pulled the woman into the house. The two sat facing each other, and the woman stared at the fat man with big watery eyes. The fat man was just about to open his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back and waved his hand: "Your eyes squint!" Who taught you to look at people so directly? The woman obediently turned her face to the side, and glared at the little fat man with slanted eyes......
"Hey! Alright, alright, you better turn around...... You're so intelligent, oops......"
"What's the matter, benefactor?"
"Uh...... Well, let's not talk about it," the fat man slapped his scabbard on the table, "do you know him?" ”
"I don't know."
"Then how do you know I'm talking to him, and you say he always doesn't answer me. So you at least know he can talk? ”
"Yes. Who doesn't know. The woman replied as if it were a matter of course.
"I don't know!" The fat man said in his heart. After thinking about it: Yes, she is a demon, and this sword is probably also a demon; People can talk to each other, and demons can naturally communicate with each other.
The fat man pressed the scabbard and drew the sword, and the woman ducked back.
"Huh? Are you afraid of him? ”
"I'm afraid."
"Oh~ so powerful? What kind of demon is he? ”
He ...... He's not a demon. ”
"Then look, what kind of thing is he~"
He ...... He's a sword. ”
"Nonsense!" I almost didn't kill the fat man alive.
The fat man wasn't really angry, he just communicated with her IQ, and he was really anxious, and he spoke a little louder. The woman's eyes were moist, with tears hanging from her eyes, and she was sobbing and choking: "Don't be angry, benefactor, don't drive me away, okay?" The fat man was stunned, and hurriedly persuaded softly: "Oh oh, don't cry, don't cry, you're a monster, I see you should cry...... I didn't say to drive you away, don't cry, come, let's talk slowly, take your time. ”
The fat man was angry, calmed down, and said slowly word by word: "Oh, that's what I mean...... You look at this sword, why does he speak? ”
"He's just talking." The woman replied with tears in her eyes.
The fat man's blood is about to spurt out! He took two deep breaths, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Ha...... Yes, I know. I just want to ask: an ordinary sword, it can't speak, why do I do this? ”
"Oh! You ask this! The woman stroked her hair and smiled, "You said it earlier, it's all because you can't express it clearly." ”
"Me! I...... It's okay, haha, you go on. "This is also a woman who loves to cry and cry, if this was a man, the fat man would have jumped up and bitten someone a long time ago!
"It's this sword, it's not just a sword, it's ...... When a person dies, he stays in this sword, and it is the dead who speaks, not the sword. ”
"Oh, you just said there was a ghost in the sword!"
The woman's head nodded as if pounding garlic: "Mmmmmmmmmm ”
The fat man covered his face, and he was depressed in his heart! Yes? Am I your benefactor? How can I look at you so like you're here for revenge?!
Stupid and stupid, there are some things that the fat man doesn't understand, she can understand, how can it be regarded as helping. Besides, the fat man ate a big bowl of rice when he got up first. In comparison, this little fox is much more reliable than this sword that can only drink and sleep.
After asking about this sword, there is another problem in front of me, what should this little fox do? The little fox knew that she blinked her eyes and followed the little fat man, and the fat man was furious with her eyes, and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Anyway, the little fat man is quite entangled: there are demons and monsters along the way, maybe she knows, just say hello, and save a lot of worry. Besides, even if you don't expect her to help anything, although she is a demon, she knows how to repay her kindness, and she is lonely and bored on this road, and it is good to have a companion; But I can't help but have concerns, I saved her, but others didn't save her, so she didn't harm me, it doesn't mean that she doesn't harm others. If it's okay, if she can really eat people, I take her along the way, how many corpses will have to die in my wake? Or what if, instead of harming others, she followed me and was harmed by me? This journey is difficult and dangerous, I can't even take care of myself, how can I have the strength to worry about her again?
The fat man thought about it for a long time, and couldn't make up his mind. The little fox was so quiet, sitting upright, doing nothing, just staring at the little fat man. In the eyes of those who don't know, this looks like a quiet and beautiful girl. The fat man glanced at her and patted his head: There is! The bell must be tied to the bell, and the Taoist said that if it is given to me, it will be in my charge? Why?! Whoever brings it takes it!
"Hey," the fat man slapped the table, "I ask you, what about the two guys who were with you yesterday?" ”
"Let's go."
With you say?! Ay...... It's really hard to communicate! The little fat man was really calm, kept smiling, and said, "Ha, let's talk slowly like just now~ Let me ask you, do you know where they went?" ”
"I don't know."
"That'...... Where did you meet them yesterday? ”
"This is it."
"Oh...... You're already in this house? The fat man asked.
"Yes, yes."
"And where did they come from?"
"I came in through the door."
The fat man was weak and depressed. It's really untemperate to talk to this master......
The little fat man thought for a while, and said weakly: "You go to them now, go quickly!" ”
"I ...... I," the woman's face twisted up as soon as she heard this, and she was ready to cry again, "I can't find them!" Benefactor, are you going to drive me away? And as he spoke, he cried and cried.
This will the little fat man notice: she seems to be afraid that I will drive her away, and she will cry when she hears this? In other words, is she going to follow me?
The fat man didn't beat around the bush, but said, "Don't cry yet." That's it~ I ask you something: Do you have to follow me? ”
It's so coaxing! Cry when you say you cry, stop when you stop. The woman wiped her tears and replied, "No." If you want, I'll follow; If you don't want to, let me go, I'll go. ”
The fat man nodded: "Oh okay, you go!" ”
The woman cried and turned her head away.
"Oops! Come back, come back! ”
……
When the fat man gets up, it's not early, and after such a toss, it's already at the end of the day, that is, around two o'clock. At this time, after noon, the sun is not so hot, and you can find a shop to stay in before dark, which is the right time to travel.
The big bag of food had been left for a long time, and the fat man had nothing else to pack, so he tied the plate, pinned the sword, and beckoned to the little fox, and the little fox danced and followed.
