Chapter 100: Mr. Dang
Fan Xuan's mood is very unstable now. To untie the bell, she must tie the bell, and the demons she formed by herself must be untied by herself after all, and Xu Huaigu can only help her here at most.
He didn't do much persuasion, seeing Fan Xuan staring at the corner of the wall in a daze, and Chu Xiuyang had already fallen asleep, Xu Huaigu got up and left the small wooden house.
Walking on the streets of the town, he also began to have some doubts in his heart. Could it be that what Lu Zijin said is true, and he is still too soft-hearted after all?
The beetle snake doesn't kill either, Fan Xuan has already forgiven, and his enemies seem to have become no revenge.
But is it worthy of those who died? There are so many souls of soldiers under the hands of the beetle snake, and Fan Xuan also has the lives of Zhuang Yeyun under his hands, so there is nothing wrong with asking them to pay for their lives.
Xu Huaigu thought of this in his heart and sighed unconsciously. Many things poured out in one fell swoop, and he thought of the abbot in the ruined temple in Feiyuzhou, and the Chen Yuanwai family in Hemen City at the foot of the mountain, and he couldn't help but feel more and more confused.
Not only Lu Zijin's words bothered him, but also Li Zi. Almost everyone around him was persuading him not to have too many entanglements with Li Zi, so that it would be no good for him or Li Zi.
But it is clear that the two of them used to be such good friends, and they have never changed their minds to each other, why did they end up like this?
I have love in my heart, but I can't see each other, but it seems to avoid suspicion. These questions are all inconclusive to Xu Huaigu's thinking.
He thought about this as he walked back, until he approached the camp where the monks were resting. Xu Huaigu opened the curtain and walked in, only Yu Qin and a child were in the huge tent, and all the other monks were gone.
You say, where are the children in this barracks? It turned out that the person who looked like this child was a beetle snake. The beetle snake was sitting on a low bench at this time, and Yu Qin was half-squatting, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, carefully helping him cut his hair.
When he changed into a human form before, Xu Huaigu saw that his hair was scattered, as if he had never taken care of it, thinking that their demon clan didn't care about appearance, so it was like this.
Yu Qin is also half-cooked, but she cuts it carefully. The beetle snake sat still, probably never experienced this scene, and his expression was very cramped, and he sat very uneasily.
At this time, Xu Huaigu came in with a curtain, which naturally disturbed the two. Yu Qin looked over and saw that it was Xu Huaigu, so she smiled and said, "Why have you been there for so long?" What did Lu Zijin say to you? Xu Huaigu glanced at the two of them, and there was a sense of jealousy in his heart, and he replied, "Why are you cutting his hair?" ”
"Isn't that what you're trying to take him in?" Yu Qin said while moving the scissors,
"No matter what his demon body is, anyway, after becoming a human, he will be like such a child, and his hair is scattered, which is not very like words. I thought about cutting it for him, and it looked cleaner and fresher. Most of the snake's bangs have been reduced, he looked at Xu Huaigu, and Xu Huaigu also looked over, which can be regarded as really seeing his face.
It was a slightly immature face, with thin cheeks and no extra flesh. The face is white, the eyebrows are slender, and she is feminine and beautiful, but she has a bit of a woman's appearance.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of reddish prismatic pupils, as if glass beads are embedded in the eye sockets, which is very beautiful.
Yu Qin glanced at the face of the beetle snake twice, and said with a smile: "This child is good-looking, dressed up, and said that it is a woman, and I believe it, but I am afraid that someone will break through the threshold and come up to propose marriage." Xu Huaigu smiled.
The beetle snake was a little confused and asked, "What does it mean to propose?" Yu Qin blinked her eyes and asked, "Haven't you heard of it?" The beetle snake shook its head.
"Do you have parents?" This time the beetle nodded.
"The idea of marriage means that if your father has a crush on your mother and wants to marry her, he has to go to your mother's house and talk to her and her family about it. Of course, there are also gifts, which is a marriage proposal. The beetle snake nodded earnestly and said to himself, "Propose...... Remembered. Yu Qin was a little curious, and asked again: "Didn't the demon clan propose marriage?" So how did your parents meet? The beetle shook his head and replied, "There is no such troublesome etiquette. In the demon clan, the strong only combine with the strong, and the weak can only be worthy of the weak. My parents are both strong men in the clan, and they are united, and there is no objection from everyone. Yu Qin frowned and asked, "Then do your parents like each other?" ”
"I don't know. Actually, I don't quite understand what it means to like it. Do you mean liking something? Yu Qin patiently explained: "Of course, people also like things, but they are not the same as people and people. If you like something, it must be because there is something about that thing that attracts you, but sometimes you can't say why you like someone. But you just feel inseparable from him, and if you are not in front of you for a moment, you will feel uneasy. Also, if you have a treasure that you like very much, you want more people to see it and let them like your treasure too, but if you like someone, you can't share it, you want it to belong to you alone, and you want the rest of the people to not see it. Xu Huaigu listened, and his heartstrings moved.
When the beetle heard this, he became more and more confused, and said, "I still don't understand. Yu Qin smiled and said, "I don't read much, so I can't tell you these things." Xu Huaigu, why don't you tell him about it? Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "I like the word, but I can only understand it but not words." When he has someone he likes, he will understand. Yu Qin pursed her lips and smiled, cut a few strands of long hair that pierced the beetle, then stood up, looked down carefully, and said, "It seems to be almost." The beetle snake bangs were cut a lot, revealing the eyebrows, but the hair in the rest of the place was still over the shoulder, Xu Huaigu said, "Could it be a little too long?" Yu Qin untied a white strap from his wrist, tied up his long hair, looked at it a few more times, was very satisfied, and said, "This is good-looking." What do you think of the beetle snake? The beetle snake touched his hair, looked at Yu Qin's again, and said, "It's similar to yours, I like it very much." ”
"That's good." Yu Qin smiled,
"Besides, I'm more than ten years older than you, you should call me sister."
"Sister." Yu Qin responded and laughed, so sweet. She pointed at Xu Huaigu again and said with a smile: "If you call him, you should call him brother." The beetle snake looked at Xu Huaigu, shook his head and said, "He is the master." When Xu Huaigu heard this, he raised his eyebrows in fright, and asked Yu Qin, "This is also what you taught him?" Yu Qin shook her head vigorously and said with a smile: "I didn't say that." He said that in the demon clan, there are sometimes wars between clans, and the winning clan swallows up the losing clan, and the losing clan calls them masters. I've told him that we don't have that in our case, but he just won't listen. ”
"This kid is very well-behaved, I think it's good." Yu Qin is in a good mood,
"Obedient and willing to learn, it's much better than some people who were only naughty when they were young." Xu Huaigu knew that she was talking about herself, so she smiled.
Yu Qin lowered her head and asked him, "What's your name?" I've always called you a beetle, weird. The beetle snake shook his head and said, "I don't have a name." The demon clan will only take a name when it reaches adulthood. The name is very important to the demon clan, and it can't be easily told to others. "Can't easily tell someone a name?
Not only did Yu Qin not know about this kind of thing, but even Xu Huaigu had never heard of such a rule.
The two looked at each other, both a little puzzled. Yu Qin asked curiously, "But doesn't the name just tell others who you are?" Why did you choose a name that you can't easily tell others? The beetle replied, "If someone else knows your name, he can let you do anything, and you can't disobey him." Even if you are asked to die, you can't resist. So the name can't be easily told to people. Yu Qin was taken aback and said, "There is such a strange thing in the world?" So what happens if you don't listen to that person? ”
"It's going to hurt, it's going to be worse than death."
"How is that possible? It's just a name, even if you don't listen to it, how can life be worse than death? ”
"I've heard the elders of the clan talk about it. They said that in very ancient times, the demon clan did not have a name, and different ethnic groups used different languages and had little contact with each other. Until one day, there was a saint in our demon clan, his power was above all demon clans, and everyone respected him. So he created a unified language that united all the demon clans. And set the rule that all demon clans must take their names when they reach adulthood, and they can never change them, and they can't go against the words that say his name, otherwise they will have to endure a lot of pain. Xu Huaigu frowned and said, "That saint, is it Molong?" ”
"Not my king." As soon as the beetle snake spoke, he realized that he had said it wrong. In the territory of the Terrans, they should not want to hear the word "king".
So he hurriedly changed his words: "That saint is earlier, far away, and his strength is stronger. ”
"It's an interesting legend." Xu Huaigu was interested,
"So, you can't choose a name yet?" The beetle snake hesitated for a long time and said, "If the master wants to, it is naturally okay to choose a name." ”
"Don't call me any master, I'm panicking." Xu Huaigu heard the sweat on his forehead,
"If I am called like this all day long, I will not lose my life?" Yu Qin smiled: "Don't you want to teach the etiquette of the human race?" In my opinion, let him call you sir, and you will accept a student, which is quite a good match. When Xu Huaigu heard this, he was in harmony with his heart and said with a smile: "Okay, that's exactly what it should be called." Beetle, then you can call me Mr. from now on. As for your name, it's not decent to always call you a beetle, so it's better to take one. However, this name is not your official name, it is only used as a title, and there is no name called you, so you must listen to his words. What do you think? ”
"Yes, sir." When the beetle snake said this, he sat motionless in his chair. Yu Qin hurriedly helped him up, and taught him how to fold his fists and bow his head in salute, so the beetle snake learned to do it again, and then said, "Yes, sir." Xu Huaigu smiled.
I didn't expect that the border line would be able to accept a student, and so far, he seems to be very obedient, like a talent that can be made.
But what should happen in the future, Xu Huaigu still didn't dare to take it lightly. Ten years of trees, 100 years of people. The word adult is not something that can be obtained in a moment, but in the long run.
How long he can go in the future depends on his own creation.
