Chapter 64: Night, Demons, and People
() The night was not very quiet, but a little noisy, and some people could not stand the loneliness of sleeping in the open, and hummed a song, and when the moon came to the middle, the song also said that it was gone.
Chang Yu Feng has been closing his eyes, not looking around, resting only against the pillars of the pavilion, this song is not good, just a feeling and a light howl.
Yi Zhi Yi Zhi, carry me to think.
The branches and buds of the Summer Palace, can you remember my thoughts?
I have been on the road for the past few days, and when I heard this song, I somewhat understood that homesick people, no matter from all over the world, are the same.
He didn't look at the moon, he kept his head down, he was a little tired, and he was surrounded by people who couldn't go home and couldn't stay in a hotel.
It's quite a bit of a sympathy.
The heart can't be still.
There's no crankiness, but it's just hard to be quiet.
The moonlight is very bright, and he can feel it, but he has some hope that there is no moon at this time, and when it is dark, this summer garden will be given, no matter how beautiful the branches and buds intersect, it will be difficult to see again, and he will not be cranky.
Someone got up and went to Xiaojie, and when he passed by Changyu Feng, there was a gust of wind blowing on Changyu Feng's body, and there was some alcohol.
When he came back, Chang Yufeng was still awake, he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, and it was like a blank space, thinking nothing.
This feeling is very strange, the head has a feeling of being very small, I can't remember anything, there is nothing, it is empty.
There are no dreams, and after being tired, it is so awake.
Chirping......
Squeak –
Chirping!
It's like a rat is barking.
It's certainly not an ordinary mouse, but I don't know what kind of breed it is, and whether it will be dangerous.
Chang Yu Feng opened his eyes and looked for the sound, and the night watchman looked at him, not surprised, and also glanced left and right.
"There are rats...... "Chang Yu Feng said in a low voice.
"Yes, there are rats." The night watchman put a piece of firewood into the campfire and poked it to make the spark stronger.
"What? You can't sleep? The night watchman once looked at Changyu Kaede and said with interest, "Is it the first time you spend the night outside?"
"Sort of."
"That's not the first time."
"Huh? I'll say it...... I think it's the first time. Chang Yu Feng didn't understand his brain circuit, stood up, and sat down gently by the fire.
This fire is not because of the cold border between the principality and the empire, but to drive away fierce beasts and demonic beasts, after all, only a few fierce beasts and demonic beasts will take the initiative to attack humans.
"If you hesitate, it must be the opposite." The night watchman directed the smoke from the wood that had just been put in it to a place where no one was around.
"So you can think like this......" Changyu Kaede watched the firewood flutter vigorously with the breeze.
"Of course, you're still young, so you shouldn't understand." The night watchman rested his hands on his knees, and blue spiritual power flowed through his body.
The night watchman gave people a very white feeling under the moonlight, and the fiery yellow light next to it was shining, forming a half-white and half-yellow spectacle.
He was a little plain and couldn't see clearly, but he heard a little old voice.
"That'...... How did I not understand that? Is it because of age? His words aroused Chang Yu Feng's interest, this night watchman seemed to be very interesting, able to guess what others were thinking?
"Of course, it's not just age, it's also because of the mind." The night watchman closed his eyes as if he were meditating, sat in a very upright cultivation posture, and let the blue spiritual power pass through.
It stands to reason that cultivators do not need so much sleep, and it is reasonable to come to vigil, judging from the current situation, the slowly flowing blue light is like a crystal star, this person should be practicing the common spiritual power condensation exercises, and the strength can only be below the golden level.
"How?" Chang Yu Feng looked at the bonfire, and the sparks that burst out were a little red and burning.
"Although the younger you are, the harder it is for your mind to mature, and it has to do with the fact that they haven't experienced many things, so whatever you say, it makes sense, because you don't need to compare yourself with them, you can know what they think, just look at it. If you are hesitant to tell someone that this is the first time you spend the night in the wilderness, it means that you don't want to tell others, if you don't want to tell others, it is very likely that it is not a good thing, what will be the first time you don't want to tell others when you sleep in the wilderness? If so, it must not be the first time. The night watchman struck south with his hand, and the wind followed his hand, raising a thin cloud of dust on the ground, and the bonfire flickered and still burned.
Suddenly, a red mouse squeaked and squeaked in his hand, and its red fur stood up like an arrow, but when the night watchman shook it hard, it instantly withered, and squeaked and squeaked, as if begging for mercy.
"I don't really understand." Changyu Feng quietly looked at the rat caught by the night watchman, it was a rat demon.
Monsters, most of them eat people and don't spit out bones.
There are demons on this border, which means that there have been large-scale deaths here, and the souls of those who have died are unwilling to go back and forth, and their resentment has formed demons.
Of course, this is just the reason for the formation of a kind of yokai. The strange way of becoming a demon makes the demon and the human must be isolated.
Demons, spirits, monsters, spirits, souls.
Legend has it that there is a kingdom of ten thousand demons that houses all the monsters, and they are not isolated from the spirit world, but in a certain "corner" of the spirit world, there is no freedom.
Of course, it's not that there is no freedom, the king and rhubarb are monsters, walking the rivers and lakes every day, and they are very happy, and there are not necessarily people who restrict their freedom, but if someone says that she is a demon and she harms human beings, it is very likely that she will be corrected on the spot.
It's not that people are prejudiced against youkai, it's just that most of them use humans as food, and you can't do it without prejudice.
In the war era full of monsters, there are not necessarily many good people, let alone many good demons.
"I said, it's okay if you don't understand." The night watchman grabbed the rat demon who had softened, the rat did not move, the night watchman pinched him hard, the blue spiritual power was like a flame scorching the rat demon, the rat demon was burned by the flame and jumped up and down in the hands of the night watchman, but he couldn't break free.
Squeak squeak!
Squeak squeak!
Squeak squeak!
This voice was not very loud, and Chang Yu Feng only heard it clearly when he got closer to the night watchman.
Chang Yu Feng looked at the painful rat demon, couldn't bear it, and just as he was about to speak, the rat demon turned into red smoke and disappeared in the blue flames.
"What? Distressed? The night watchman seemed to be very happy, and did not look at Changyu Kaede, but just clapped his hands, and the blue flames disappeared.
The vigil is boring, but it's actually a good fun. But the fun was short-lived, and it was gone all at once.
"No...... It's not ......" Chang Yu Feng touched his head, the temperature of the bonfire was very high, almost a little hot.
"You're a little kid, it's all duplicity." The night watchman looked at him and threw a small object very lightly beside him: "Normal, it is good for children to have compassion when they see small animals, but they have to use it in the right place, it is a rat demon, and it is here to eat children."
Changyu Kaede picked up the thing, it was an orange.
The red bonfire, the red oranges, the moon behind the dark clouds, seemed to be covered in twilight.
"Rat Demon ......," Chang Yu Feng said.
Of course he knew it was a rat demon.
"Yes, the rat demon is also habitually evil, and it can't be said that it won't die if it blatantly smells the smell of children here." The night watchman divided the oranges one by one, and put them into his mouth one by one, and carefully separated the white silk sacs.
Chang Yu Feng lowered his head and looked at the orange.
It's not the kind of thing like throwing away a child's critter, or killing it, and then giving him a candy.
Rather, it is a question of who will live and who will die.
He had thought about it many times, as if he had inadvertently felt pity in his heart, as long as the rat demon stopped eating people, he would not die......
Is that so?
Is that really the case?
What if the rat had eaten a man? Did you know?
Who deserves to die? As a demon, you deserve to die.
Is it?
"Don't think Uncle I am ruthless, for human beings, demons are very dangerous things, they are more bullying and afraid of hard than humans themselves, you can never imagine what some adults will do now, and the same is true for monsters, no one knows if they will eat you in the next second." The night watchman seemed to comfort Chang Yu Feng, in his opinion, Chang Yu Feng, who lowered his head, was a little depressed, it was naturally because he killed the cute-looking rat demon, and it seemed to be burned alive, for children, the movements of crooked rats are indeed a little cruel.
And cruel to the extreme.
will make them feel that this uncle in front of them is not willful, even hostile.
He explained: "Don't think Uncle is cruel, if you don't kill him, maybe a child will be eaten today." If that little kid were you, you'd be grateful for my actions today. ”
Chang Yufeng shook his head, didn't speak, and nodded.
He wanted to say that he was not depressed, but he felt that if he said some problems, he would give people a very hypocritical feeling, and if he didn't say it, he would give people a feeling of panic, if he could, he didn't want to find a solution to the problems left over from the two ethnic groups for thousands of years, but just, he felt that if this person saw Rhubarb, would Rhubarb be burned alive like this?
He may not be able to beat the king.
The king might burn him alive.
He said that bullying the weak and fearing the hard.
Can it be said that he will kill all the weak monsters?
The logic of this person is strange and he doesn't know how to answer. I don't know how to ask.
Silent.
It is always said that silence is golden.
Let others guess what he thinks, he can say anything, he sees himself in his eyes, he is just an ordinary child, ordinary children will think like this, and mice may not be so scary.
"There are also demons, some demons are like this, killing people like numb......" His voice was a little higher, and he lowered it and continued: "If you encounter them, you will have to run, although you may not be able to escape, but they are definitely more dangerous than this little rat who eats people."
The night watchman really seemed to be comforting himself by doing something wrong, or by rather, a child who had seen a bloody picture.
He wanted to say that it is natural for demons to eat people and people to kill demons.
But I never found the right wording, which sounds awkward.
Not everyone is a great writer who can open his mouth and come here, but everyone has their own situation that they feel should not appear.
He's like an adult who has done something wrong and explained.
Isn't that a good guess what to do?
My lord......
And no one becomes an adult directly.
Isn't it?
Chang Yu Feng peeled the orange, but the night watchman stopped talking to Long Yu Feng, but stood up and nodded to the other person.
The other person is Yue Shuihuan, who came to take over the night watchman's shift, and now it is Yue Shuihuan's turn to keep vigil.
Yue Shuihuan seemed to get up on his own.
I guess he can't sleep either.
You can tell from the fact that he has some heavy dark circles under his eyes during the day.
Yue Shuihuan sat down opposite Chang Yu Feng. Glancing at the fire, he took the firewood in his hand and did not put it in.
"What? What did Lao Guo say to you? ”
The night watchman turned out to be called Lao Guo.
"Didn't say anything." Chang Yu Feng replied to him: "He killed a rat demon." Tell me something. ”
"That's it......" Yue Shuihuan didn't ask for any reason, just nodded.
"Can't you sleep?" Yue Shuihuan glanced at his daughter who had turned over.
She was on all fours, like a little piglet.
"Yes, my heart was a little fluctuating, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up." Chang Yu Feng slowly took off the silk sac of the orange with his hand, and a whole orange fell off in a circle in his hand.
"When I was first stopped, it was like this, I didn't know what to do, I lost my business, I owed a lot of debts, and I couldn't go back to my home, it was really difficult......" Yue Shuihuan put the firewood in it, and put it next to it very lightly, and the flames did not move at all.
"Hey, it's hard......" Yue Shuihuan looked at the bonfire, the fiery red light shining on his face, a little haggard.
"I think, you are not afraid of life at all, even Lao Guo can talk to you a few words. I still have the ability. ”
"It was Lao Guo who came to talk to me by himself." Changyu Feng ate a petal of orange, which was a little sweet, but there was still some sourness inside.
"That's rare, if you get up in the middle of the night, you can find someone to talk to, it's good." Yue Shuihuan didn't meditate and cultivate, just quietly looked at Chang Yu Feng.
Changyu Feng saw that his hand eating oranges stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just think you want to be personal."
Changyu Feng was a little frightened.
"Like whom? Such a coincidence? ”
"I haven't said who it is, where did it come from." Yue Shuihuan looked at the gazebo that was already much darker around him, and there was only one person keeping vigil in the other pavilions.
"You look like the guy I saw, but I can't guarantee it's him. Your eyes resemble his. ”
"Hmm...... I'd love to hear it. Chang Yu Feng put the orange in two petals, and the cheeks were flattened.
"Jack Nieman. A little kid in Wenti County. Yue Shuihuan's name made Chang Yufeng expect it, and he wasn't surprised, he just looked at his eyes and wrinkled together and said Who is Jack Niemann?
"Actually, it's nothing, I just said casually, I and this kid have only watched him compete, and the little brother must know about it. I went to watch a few games in Wentijun and I thought he had the most potential. ”
Chang Yu Feng nodded, and shook his head again.
"Your eyes resemble his, but there is nothing else. It's all a little similar, a little different. ”
Even if Yue Shuihuan said this, it still made Chang Yufeng feel that this man who was away with a child was indeed not simple, delicate and thoughtful.
"Although I don't know him, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't know what the situation is." Chang Yu Feng put the firewood into the bonfire, collided with sparks, and disappeared again.
Smoke rose slowly.
They talked a lot that night, but they were not so tight, and when the smoke of the inn also rose, it was the coldest time, Yue Shuihuan used his spiritual power to draw out the fire, and the fire swirled around the entire pavilion, warming people's bodies.
Chang Yu Feng squinted for a while after all, and when the sun shone on their buttocks, they needed to go to a special place to wash.
Someone told him that the border was open, and Yue Shuihuan invited Chang Yufeng to go with him, but Chang Yufeng found a bad way to refuse, and just followed him for a short distance in the valley.
After crossing the border, it is naturally the border of the Empire.
In the Empire, it is natural to do things according to the rules of the Empire.
The destination of Changyu Kaede is Dongyu,
There is a fairy mountain there,
Waiting for the return of its owner.
