Chapter 14, acquaintance and love
Hui Xun is not dead. When he woke up, he was in a cave, and the snake demon who rescued him mistook him for a human, and he didn't want to be scared by him, so he lied to himself that he was an orphan girl, and he lived here homeless, and he felt funny in his heart, but he didn't break it.
This is the first time he has been treated so gently, the snake demon named Lige is confused and kind, she saved him, not only his life, but also his hope for life, she is his light, and he likes her as a matter of course.
He got better little by little under Lige's careful care, and his life began to become beautiful and warm, and even the bitter medicine he drank every day seemed to be mixed with honey. Maybe because he had human blood, the medicine had an effect on him, and his body got better and better.
After he was well, he began to work on going to the world, he didn't like to part, so he wanted to go quietly alone. He is actually very reluctant to leave the song, but he wants to see what the world is like, which is his father's hometown, and it is also the happy hometown that supports him to live day and night in the Green Snake Clan.
He wanted to come back to Lige after going to the world to see it, and tell her his identity, if Lige could accept him, it would be fine, if he couldn't, he would stay with her and wait for her to accept herself.
To his surprise, Lige would secretly follow him. He cultivated to a high level, and it didn't take long to find the little tail that was following him, and after being caught by him, he deliberately pretended to be fierce, and said unreasonably with his hands on his waist: "I am your savior, if I want to follow you, you can't help but let me follow, otherwise you will be ungrateful!" ”
When she said this, her heart was weak and nervous, and she didn't dare to look at him directly, and he felt funny in his heart: "Let's go together, go to the world and see." ”
He saw that her eyes were suddenly full of moving light, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off it, he picked up her little package, and let her run in front of him for a while, and then go around behind him, chattering and noisy, and taking his steps briskly.
She knew his identity not long after they came down the mountain, and they passed by a clear stream, and she ran over first, only to see her reflection in the water as clean as amber.
He was slowly following her, but suddenly he heard her screaming with her back to him. He hurried over, but saw her hurriedly covering her face, bowing her head and choking to prevent him from looking.
He was frightened, and he didn't care about the difference between men and women and wanted to take her hand, but she suddenly cried: "Don't look at me, you will hate me after you see it." ”
He was a little overwhelmed by her sudden burst of tears, and he thought he had probably guessed the reason. There was no pool mirror near the cave where they lived, and she had been taking care of him since he had just taken on a human form, and if she was not mistaken, this was the first time she had seen herself.
He felt a little funny and a little uncomfortable, walked up to her and lowered his head to remove her hand: "How can I hate you." His hand gently stroked the crimson snake scales that had not yet shed at the corners of her eyes, brushing away her tears, "You look good like this." ”
He and she didn't seem to have any feelings, they were together naturally, he told her frankly about his identity experience, and she didn't hide the fact that she was a goblin, they married under the witness of Mingyue and Qingfeng, and promised to live and die together.
In fact, the time when they first entered the mortal world was not easy.
They were all newly cultivated demons in human form, who had never been in contact with the mortal world before, and human life was a completely foreign experience to them, they didn't understand many things, and people's hearts were not as good as he imagined. After Lige didn't know how many times he silently endured the bullying and came back, he could no longer suppress the idea of leaving Ge and returning to the Boundary Mountain.
It was Lige who stopped him, she said, "Ah Xun, just put up with it for me, okay?" I love the human world, and I don't want to go back to that cold cave. ”
Lige looked up at him, his face full of supplication, and the moonlight fell into her eyes, with a misty coolness. Suddenly, he couldn't say no, and she snatched his package and pulled him back into the house.
That night, Lige slept very restlessly, waking up many times in the middle of the night, and every time she woke up, she had to sit up to make sure that his hand was in her hand and that his person was lying next to her.
In fact, he didn't fall asleep at all that night, every time Lige woke up, he knew, he knew that every time Lige woke up, he would sit up and look at him for a long time, until she drew his eyebrows and eyes with her hand, and then she would clench his hand and lie back with satisfaction, and he also heard Lige repeat the sentence after lying down: "He's here." ”
He suddenly felt very sad.
In fact, he knows that he has left the song's thoughts, she doesn't want to stay in the world, but she doesn't want him to leave the world because she has been wronged, she has always remembered his desire for the world, the breeze and the fragrance of flowers, the warm sun and the blue sky, are all what he has always liked and yearned for, and there are no things on the boundary mountain.
She pitied his desolation in the snake clan in the past, and understood his longing for the world, so she didn't want him to give up his dream because she had been wronged.
He had gotten up earlier than ever, and he lay motionless in bed and pretended to be asleep, noticing her carefully getting up from him, getting out of bed to change, and slipping out of the room. It didn't take long for the sound of rustling from the kitchen, followed by the footsteps of leaving the song and returning to the room.
As if afraid of waking him, she slowed her steps very slowly, very lightly, and he listened intently to her footsteps in the room, and every step seemed to walk in his heart.
After returning to the room, he came to wake him up, and he pretended to have just woken up and cleaned up slowly, listening carefully to the song.
She said, Ah Xun, I will adapt well to the world, don't you say it's okay to go?
She said, Ah Xun, I don't blame those who bullied me, and you don't want to trouble them, okay?
She said, Ah Xun, I made breakfast for you, I heard that human wives will make breakfast for their husbands, will I make breakfast for you every day in the future, okay?
She said three times in a row, but she didn't care about his answer, Gu Zi pulled him to sit down at a simple wooden table after cleaning up.
There was a bowl of steaming noodles on the wooden table, which did not look good, and it was specially made for him by his Lige.
He sat at the table and ate the noodles seriously, tasting them one bite at a time. Actually, it didn't taste good, but in his opinion, it was the best food in the world.
He ate all the noodles in the bowl and drank the soup cleanly.
After eating, he took the handkerchief handed by Lige and wiped his mouth, looked at Lige in front of him, who was even trying to suppress his joy, and swore word by word: "Hui Xun promised to leave the song, in this life, he only promised to leave the song, where is the song, where is Hui Xun, heaven, earth, ghosts and gods can be relied on." ”
He said, "Ah Li, in front of me, you just have to be yourself. ”
He looked at the girl in front of him who threw herself into his arms with red eyes, and buried his head in his arms and began to cry. He knows her grievances and discomfort these days, as well as the fear of daring to go out every day under the veil, he knows it.
She didn't say a word, but he knew it.
He was almost desperately trying to integrate himself into the human race during the day, and at night he went back and taught Lige a little bit, he began to look more and more like a person, and Lige became more and more adaptable to the mortal world, it seemed that everything was slowly starting to get better, but Lige suddenly disappeared.
He was so anxious that he inquired around and learned that not long after he went out, two cultivators passed by his door, saying that they felt the aura of the snake demon and broke in, and then they caught a red snake with a thick thigh in his house and came out.
When he heard this, his eyes turned red, and he grabbed the man and forced him to ask about the whereabouts of the cultivator, regardless of the pursuit, and when he found Lige, she was already dying, and was tied up with a snake net and hung on a tree, and the blood that flowed stained the crimson scales a dark red.
He didn't think much about saving Lige directly, but just as he was about to leave, he found that he was also bound by a layer of nets, and the two men under the tree were looking at him with smug faces, discussing how to deal with him.
With monstrous hatred in his heart, he directly broke through the net with the original form of Lige, and in the next second, several red lights as sharp as swords pierced the two of them.
Lige is not a high level of cultivation, plus he is kind-hearted and unwilling to hurt to get to this point, but he is not, Lige is his weakness and his death, he himself is reluctant to be wronged The treasure is now hurt like this, how can he give up easily.
What's more, at this time, he has already five points into the demon.
Those two didn't have the ability to dodge several red blades in different directions, and they were wounded on the ground at the same time. Just as he was about to kill the two of them, it was Lige who stopped him.
"Ah Xun, don't kill them. If you bear the sin for me, I would rather die myself. She said, trying her best to transform into a human form in his arms, "I'm in so much pain, Ah Xun, can you take me to the doctor?" ”
He stopped as he was told, and went to the most famous doctor in the neighborhood with Lige.
He hugged Lige, who had completely fainted, and broke directly into the doctor's house, found a bed for Lige to lie down before rushing out and grabbed the doctor who wanted to run away and put a knife on his neck: "If you can't cure her, you can bury her." ”
Maybe his appearance was too hideous, and his intimidation worked, although the doctor trembled in the face of him every day and looked like he would faint at any time, but he finally rescued Lige.
On the day Lige woke up, he was timid, and he had been staying in front of Lige's bed to beg her to wake up, but when she really woke up, he didn't dare to go over. He was five points demonic, his eyes were scarlet snake eyes, and the cyan snake scales spread from his forehead to the corners of his eyes, and he was afraid that Lige would be disgusted by being like this.
At that time, Lige had just woken up, and his body was so weak that he couldn't get up, so he lay on the bed and called him one after another. She shouted a word from inside the house, and he answered it outside, but he never entered the door.
He suddenly understood why Lige cried when she saw her reflection in the water that day, and why Lige cared so much about the red scales in the corners of her eyes. He doesn't know if anyone who has a beloved will become like this, he will care about his beauty and ugliness, and just want the other party to see his good-looking side.
But he is indeed like this, he doesn't want Lige to see him with such an ugly face, half-demon and half-human.
