"But what?"

Seeing that the red-faced demon bird Anan had not had a result for a long time, Zhao Yan took the initiative to ask.

"Nothing. ”

Anan shook his head and stopped the topic.

Dear, are you playing with your desires?

Zhao Yan really wanted to despise the red-faced demon bird who didn't have anything, but in the end he didn't say anything--want to capture the old man? Hmph, Young Master Ben just doesn't ask anything, Young Master Ben, I can't suffocate you.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Yan picked up the stupid roe deer that he had put down, turned around and walked back.

"Hey—"

Anan called Zhao Yan, but she didn't stop Zhao Yan's footsteps, so she had to flap her wings a few times, and then landed on the back of the dead roe deer that Zhao Yan was carrying on her shoulders.

"Zhao Yan of Daye City, according to the etiquette of your nobles, you should not ignore the call of a beautiful woman. ”

Anan, who had folded his wings, complained.

"Okay. Zhao Yan stopped, turned his head and let his eyes fall on the red-faced demon bird Anan: "Beautiful woman, may I ask for any advice?"

"Teachings? There is nothing to teach, I just want to ask you one thing. ”

Anan said.

That's interesting......

Zhao Yan thought to himself.

"Ask, I know everything. ”

Therefore, Zhao Yan replied that he would not tell Anan that behind the words "endless words", there are still four words.

"Did I say something to you yesterday before or after the battle with you?"

Anan was really polite, and asked this question very directly.

"Whatever he says, you'd better not believe him, because he's here—" Anan nodded his head with his wings and said seriously, "Sick." ”

Sick in the brain?

Let's listen to it, young master Ben will listen to it.

With this thought, Zhao Yan turned his head and walked back again.

"Guess what, Zhao Yan, guess how long I've been taking care of Xiao An. How?"

Anan did not continue to slander his companions, but suddenly talked about the topic.

"How long?"

Zhao Yan didn't guess, but asked directly, he didn't tell Anan, in fact, the four-armed snake demon did say something to him last night, saying that if Anan talked about her and Xiao An, then don't believe a word - including punctuation.

Now it seems. What Afternoon Sleep said was not wrong, Anan really talked about her and Xiao An's affairs, and took the initiative.

"By sunrise tomorrow, it will be exactly a hundred years. ”

Anan still didn't insist, she took the initiative to give an answer, an unexpected answer for Zhao Yan.

"If I'm not mistaken, Anan, you're talking about a hundred years. Right?"

Anan took the initiative to burst out of the answer, so Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask such a sentence, he really raised the reminder he gave him last night in the middle of the nap, and he was not joking.

"Yes, a hundred years, no more, no less a whole hundred years. ”

Anan nodded very seriously, not thinking that she took the initiative to burst out of this answer at all. There is anything wrong with it.

"With all due respect, Xiao An doesn't look like she's six years old at most, even if she's delayed...... That's at most under the age of 10. Miss Anan, could it be that you have a different way of dating than most people, a year is ten years?"

So Zhao Yan kindly reminded him, after all, this kind of thing is really fallacious, don't be too obvious.

"Of course not, I'm using your human chronology. Anan denied Zhao Yan's statement, and emphasized again: "So you heard it right." It's a whole hundred years, no more, no less. ”

"Do you remember, I already told you that thirteen years ago, I had already asked that desperate doctor to treat Xiao An?"

In order to prove his words, Anan even put forward this argument that Zhao Yan ignored,

"Then why is Xiao An still a six-year-old child?"

Zhao Yan pointed out the biggest bug in Anan's words - he couldn't explain the problem thirteen years ago, maybe Xiao An was born thirteen years ago. Because of the illness for thirteen years, it took half of the normal child to grow.

"Zhao Yan of Daye City, what is the biggest difference between Xiao An and normal young children in your eyes?"

The red-faced demon bird asked again.

"The biggest difference from normal toddlers?" Zhao Yan wanted to answer this question, saying that it was more cute and cute. However, he is not an otaku who can ignore everything else as long as he is cute, so he quickly replied: "Xiao An, the body is a little weaker, maybe you should really find a good doctor for her." ”

"You are wrong Zhao Yan of Daye City, the biggest difference between Xiao An and normal children is not that her body is weaker, but that she only has half of her living body, and the other half of her body has ...... A hundred years of death!"

Anan gave a terrifying answer.

"Anan, this joke is not very funny, you may not know that I happen to have seen a lot of undead creatures, and I can smell anything dead or alive just by my nose. ”

Zhao Yan didn't believe Anan's statement unexpectedly, in fact, he wasn't talking nonsense, he was really able to smell the breath of the undead just by relying on his nose now, the kind of rotten breath that seemed to be from the ** to the soul, he could really smell it.

"As I said, Xiao An is an ordinary living body, and the other half has been dead for a hundred years. Anan said very calmly: "You may not believe it at all, Anan is still alive only with a layer of skin and meridians on her body, and under my continuous support, she can barely maintain her beating heart." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Yan was surprised, with the materialist biological knowledge he mastered, if Xiao An was really in this situation, then it was absolutely impossible for her to be alive.

"Xiao An's story starts from a hundred years ago—"

This time, Anan did not sell Guanzi, but took the initiative to tell Xiao An's story.

A hundred years ago, because of the battle of imperial power broke out among the humans outside the mountain, the old dynasty was overthrown little by little, and the new dynasty was gradually established.

These things originally had nothing to do with Anan, who lived in the mountains and looked around for clues to the enemy in order to avenge his mother's revenge, until one day...... In a self-market where barbarians appeared under the guise of celebrating festivals and with the main purpose of doing business, Anan met Xiao An, who was doing business with his family.

Xiao An actually does not belong to the Thirty-Six Barbarian Tribe. Or at least from the perspective of her father's line, Xiao An is not a Li Min of the Thirty-six Barbarian Tribe, because her father crossed the boundary stone to escape the war and fled into the outsiders in Jingyun Mountain.

At that time, the Tibetan Pavilion City established by the people outside the mountain still stood majestically in the depths of Jingyun Mountain, and was ruled by the people outside the mountain themselves.

The ruler of the castle was originally a rogue official of the faction chosen by the official uniform. But in the end, the rogue official chose to kill the successor, and united with the barbarians to guard the Zangge City and live the life of a soil overlord.

Xiao An's father, because he has considerable calculating talents, was appointed by the earth overlord as the financial undersecretary in charge of finance, he is cautious and reserved.

As for Xiao An's mother, she is a standard barbarian son of Jingyun Mountain. With a bold personality, how she and Xiao An's father got together, Anan actually doesn't know very well, she only knows that two men and women who cross nationalities gave birth to Xiao An, a kind-hearted child.

So, at that bazaar, Anan actually became friends with Xiao An.

"Become a friend? Anan, even if the barbarians don't know your value. I don't believe those people from outside the mountains, and no one can recognize you as a red bird, as long as anyone recognizes your identity, you will probably face very big trouble. ”

Although it was a little slighter, Zhao Erlang, who was a professional provoking party member, really asked this serious question that was logical to him.

Anan didn't say anything, but the next moment Zhao Yan appeared on his shoulder, and there was a red-faced demon bird and a barefoot little girl in red.

"I don't have a problem anymore. Please continue. ”

After glancing sideways, Zhao Yan said.

So Anan continued to tell, she told Zhao Yan that after becoming friends with Xiao An unexpectedly, she went to visit Xiao An many times, if there was no accident, this friendship would last forever, and she would watch Xiao An grow up little by little. watched Xiao An get married, have children, grow old, and then die......

During that time, Anan even gave up the pursuit of the mother-killing enemy, because Xiao An warmed her soul that was originally filled with hatred with her pure and immaculate heart.

But Anan never dreamed of it. With the establishment of the new empire, the overlord of the Tibetan Pavilion Castle, who refused to obey the will of the new emperor and tried to pass on the separatist power, had already annoyed the emperor of the new empire.

Therefore, the conspiracy against the Zangge City exploded in the middle of a bloody night, and several barbarians who were bought by the new empire led the royal division into the Zangge City.

Xiao An's father, who was afraid of being killed by the rebels as a rebel, took Xiao An with the assistance of his wife and desperately escaped from Zangge City.

That night, the original population of Zangge City, which had reached more than 100,000, only more than 30,000 people remained after dawn, and the rest, except for a few who escaped, were all killed by the rebels who attacked the city.

However, the pursuit of important fugitives continues, and Xiao An's father has unfortunately become a key target because of his status.

So when Anan found Xiao An again, her parents had all fallen in a pool of blood, and a black shaman who believed in the black hunting god was extracting the souls of Xiao An's parents in front of Xiao An, trying to torture useful information.

It's not Anan's telling, Zhao Yan still doesn't know, it turns out that the barbarians of Jingyun Mountain believe in the hunting gods, which are divided into two types: the white hunting gods and the black hunting gods, the white hunting gods correspond to all good and reasonable killings, and the black hunting gods correspond to all evil and random slaughter.

At that time, Anan did not hesitate to rush up to fight the black shaman, killing all the black shaman's servants and defeating the black shaman himself.

But when Anan rescued Xiao An, the black shaman who was not dead cast the last black witchcraft, and the original target of the black witchcraft was Anan who was unaware, but Xiao An appeared.

Therefore, Xiao An Li Dai Tao stiffened and withstood the fatal blow of the dying black shaman.

Therefore, counting from that day, Xiao An has become what she is now, and her growth has stayed on that day forever.

In fact, Xiao An could not have lived for a hundred years, and she fell for the black witchcraft that deprived her of life, even if she died of exhaustion because of the black shaman's spell released half of it, and she was temporarily in a state of half-dead and half-alive, she would definitely not last for three days.

"In other words, in the past hundred years, it has all been up to you to maintain Xiao An to live almost carefree - just like a normal little Lori?"

Zhao Yan, who had been listening for a while, asked.

"Yes. ”

Anan, who had reverted back to the appearance of the red-faced demon bird in his body, nodded.

"Then let me ask you a question that might offend you. Anan - How long are you going to keep going, or how long are you going to last?"

Zhao Yan followed and asked.

"Already...... I can't hold it anymore. ”

Anan said softly.

"I can feel that death is occupying Xiao An's remaining flesh and blood little by little, and the only thing I can do is to let her leave no regrets before leaving. Ah Nan, who spoke softly, "shenyin" became stalked: "Xiao An likes to listen to stories." She told me that if there was an afterlife, she would become a bird too. ”

At this moment, Zhao Yan finally understood why Anan had to take such a big risk to come to him here to tell the story of the happy bird. in exchange for the precious red blood.

Sleep, liar...... Actually, it's you.

Zhao Yan didn't think that the story of Xiao An told him by Anan was false anywhere, and this was clearly a completely true story.

Even, Zhao Yan secretly admired Anan, he felt that the wine sword fairy had an evaluation of the butterfly demon Caiyi. It is also extremely suitable to put it on Anan's body - there is no "qingren" in the world, but there are also sentient demons.

This love does not have to be the love of men and women, it can also be friendship.

Just like some people, they can become good friends who talk about everything when they meet, and some people will meet every day tomorrow, but they will just pass by for the rest of their lives, at most they will nod and smile politely......

Fate. It's so inexplicable.

"Anan, you are a good person. ”

Therefore, Zhao Erlang, a professional household of good guy cards, also gave someone a good guy card for the next time.

"No, you're wrong Zhao Yan, I'm just a demon. ”

Anan obviously didn't understand what Zhao Yan meant, so she emphasized.

"This kind of inconsequential thing, you don't need to worry too much about it. Zhao Yan looked up. He saw the cave that was already in sight, so he stepped up and said, "Anan, I already roughly understand what you mean, so I won't tell the story of the tragedy anymore." The next stories I'm going to tell will be light-hearted stories about birds. ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Anan said happily that she had talked so much about it, wasn't it just to get Zhao Yan's assurance?

"It's a small thing. ”

Zhao Yan also smiled, and then he stepped up his pace and ran quickly and steadily in the direction of the cave - the prey he was carrying all over his body, although it would not make Zhao Yan feel heavy and unbearable, but after all, there would be a little uncomfortable, and it was naturally best to be able to get rid of these burdens earlier.

"Zhao Yan from Daye City, can I ask you one more question?"

Anan spoke again as if he had time.

"Just ask. ”

Zhao Yan, who was striding into a meteor, replied with an extremely correct attitude.

"I really want to know what you saw when I gave you the Suzaku Bow. ”

Anan said in a tone full of persistence.

"I saw a ......" Zhao Yan almost told what he saw, but when the words came to his mouth, he instinctively swallowed back, so in the end his answer was: "Okay, in fact, it can't be regarded as what I saw, but I feel that there is a raging fire, full of destruction, and full of resentment hidden in the Vermilion Bird Bow." ”

"That's ......" Zhao Yan's answer seemed to make Anan a little disappointed, but she hid this emotion well, so she went on to say: "Zhao Yan, since you can use this Vermilion Bird Bow very easily, I will ...... it I'll give it to you!"

"This is not appropriate, I dare not accept such a valuable gift casually! Where do you ask me to find a return gift of the same value?"

Zhao Yan tried to refuse, and did not mention the problem of softness, he knew very well that with his character, if he received a gift from someone else, he would definitely think about returning the gift, and if he didn't pay it all the time, he would suffer from obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder.

"Helping me unlock the secrets of this bow is the greatest reward for me. Ah Nan replied, her voice becoming low again: "Zhao Yan of Daye City, maybe you don't know yet, in fact, the material of this Vermilion Bird Bow is the tail feather of my Mu Qing Zhu Ling Holy Mother. ”

Shenma?!

Our Lady of Zhu Ling is Anan's mother?!

This is not right, the image of the Holy Mother of Zhu Ling is clearly quite surprising with the image of the red-faced demon bird Anan, okay?

Zhao Yan didn't think that Our Lady of Zhu Ling was also a red-faced demon bird, not to mention that the name of the bow was already very revealing.

It is called the Vermilion Bird Bow, not the Red Bird Bow or the Red Demon Bird Bow.

Could it be that Anan is not a pure-blooded red-faced demon bird, but just like Xiao An, who has been with her for a hundred years, they are all mixed races of two races?

In this case, it is completely doubtful whether Anan's blood can have the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root causes of the damaged martial veins......

Zhao Yan had enough reason to start worrying about this issue that was very important to him.

So Zhao Yan became silent, and he didn't say anything more until he saw Xiao An.

Accompanied by the four-armed snake demon for a nap, Xiao An stood under a big tree full of white flowers that looked very much like a white magnolia, waiting for the return of Zhao Yan and Anan, who were hunting.

"Wow! Big brother is so powerful! Big brother is so powerful!"

When she finally saw Zhao Yan who was returning with a full load, the little girl immediately cheered, her little cheeks turned red with excitement, and her whole face was filled with a happy smile.

"Zhao Yan of Daye City, I can't help but start to be jealous of you, you have only told three stories, and Xiao An actually likes you so much. ”

Anan whispered on Zhao Yan's shoulder, full of unhappiness.

And looking at Xiao An's heartfelt smile, Zhao Yan suddenly felt that the idea he had just now was too utilitarian.

Just think you're doing a good deed.
