Chapter 51: Mind
Luo Anhua stroked the top of Zuo Qiusheng's head extremely soothingly, but his memory returned to a long time ago.
It was one day more than ten years ago, the day he and the Demon Lord found him.
But how many years ago that day, Luo Anhua himself has forgotten. He frowned and thought about it for a while, but he vaguely remembered that it didn't seem to be a sunny day.
That day, I got the news that a wild ginseng that had grown for more than 1,000 years in a big mountain in the south had turned into a white and tender ginseng doll swaying around, clamoring to find something delicious. Thinking that he had lived for so long and had never seen ginseng essence, Luo Anhua felt itchy in his heart and pulled the demon lord out of the demon world.
But when I got to the mountain, I stumbled around and didn't see the shadow of the ginseng doll, but found a thin child tied to a big tree.
The child had been tied up for an unknown amount of time, his hair disheveled, and his clothes in tatters. Luo Anhua could smell the sour smell emanating from him from a long distance, and at first glance, he thought that the child was dead.
The mosquitoes, flies, and many unknown insects in the forest "buzzed" around him, and a flock of crows flew around him in the low air not far away, waiting for him to turn into a meal.
Luo Anhua only glanced at it, and his scalp was numb, and he frowned in disgust.
When he heard that the village in the world used his private deeds to deal with the most evil people, he would tie that person in the dense forest and let him be eaten by wild beasts, Luo Anhua's curiosity was aroused again, how vicious is this little child, to get such treatment?
Suddenly a little excited in his heart, Luo Anhua walked forward with a wicked smile, eager to see the child's face.
A palm swung forward, and the palm wind strongly dispersed the dense mosquitoes. Luo Anhua walked up to the child, picked up a branch on the ground and picked up his chin.
The excited look of anticipation dimmed in an instant, Luo Anhua lazily lowered his eyes, sighed and shook his head, what a very ordinary face.
The face was as thin and small as this body, and it looked very fragile. Stains and dust covered the whole face, the original color could no longer be seen in the blackness, the skin under the dust was puffed up by mosquito bites, and the lips were wrinkled with layers of white skin due to lack of water, and the whole looked dirty, ugly, and lifeless.
Luo Anhua didn't know what this face looked like before, but now he was sure that it was the same as the countless dead faces he had seen before, and it was featureless.
Just when he wanted to let go of the hand holding the branch, the child suddenly "muttered" and slowly opened his eyes under Luo Anhua's shocked gaze.
After glancing at the man in white in front of him, a tear flowed from the corner of the child's eye, and he used his last strength to make a sound, which was hoarse and weak, but it shook people's hearts.
He said, "Help... Save me. ”
The moment he saw the child's eyes, Luo Anhua's heart trembled, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
At this moment, he finally discovered his characteristics, and these eyes are the biggest characteristics of this child.
The pupil has the power to deceive people, but it is also the evil thing that the human race fears the most.
What surprised Luo Anhua even more was that the child was still alive. And I also saw in his eyes that I was strong, which is my favorite quality.
Looking back at the Demon Lord who was standing in the distance with a cold face, the request in Luo Anhua's eyes was very obvious.
The Demon Lord didn't speak, he scattered all the crows with one palm, stepped forward and broke the rope with his palm, took the child who fell weakly into his arms, took off his robe and wrapped the child, and threw him to Luo Anhua.
Luo Anhua caught the body steadily, saw the back of the demon lord gradually moving away, and knew that what he got was an affirmative answer.
From that day on, the child was brought back to the Demon Realm by Luo Anhua and handed over to her to take care of, until now.
Waking up from his memories, Luo Anhua sighed lightly.
It turned out that I liked him so much when I first met him. But after so many years, I have completely forgotten that love.
Looking carefully at Zuo Qiusheng in front of him, Luo Anhua suddenly found that he had changed so much. The way he looks now is what he looked forward to when he decided to save him.
The emotions in the memories filled his brain, Luo Anhua patted him on the shoulder, and opened his mouth in a gentle tone, full of emotion, "You look like this, and you have lived up to my heart back then." ”
Zuo Qiusheng raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Luo Anhua's face with a smile and tears, with a simple stubbornness in his eyes, "Sister Qingyin said, you want me to grow up well, and I hope I will get better and better." Whatever you wish, I will do. His voice suddenly became sad, he lowered his head, and said, "My mother said that you must know how to repay Entu." ”
Luo Anhua smiled lowly, and reached out again to stroke the top of his head, his eyes were rare understanding and love, "So over the years, you have been obedient in everything in front of me, obedient in everything, willing to do anything, and able to endure anything, just because you want to repay the favor, right?"
Zuo Qiusheng nodded and replied: "My mother said that only sensible and obedient children are likable." ”
Saying that, he raised his head and showed his sincerity to Luo Anhua very purely: "I don't have anything to repay, if I want to say that there is, it's just myself." So, if ...... If one day I can be of some use to you, then this life will be worth it. ”
At this moment, Luo Anhua's heart trembled slightly in his smile.
It turns out that everything he does is just to please himself. But I never understood, and I never liked him.
Luo Anhua was rarely speechless, silently for a long time, and gently stroked his face.
After a while, he put down his hand and said with rare patience: "I understand if you want to repay the favor, and your mother's words also make sense." However, the demon world is different from the human world after all, the strong live, the weak die, and good temperament is the most useless thing. Good temperament will only be underestimated in the demon world, if you want to live well, you must let others know that you can't be bullied. Think for yourself, if you don't have me and the Demon Lord to protect you, according to your own temperament, can you still live so peacefully?"
Zuo Qiusheng had never thought of it like this, but when he heard him say this, he felt that it was indeed the case.
But he raised his eyes and said, "Actually, I have always been grateful to other people in the Demon Realm."
Luo Anhua didn't understand what he meant, and instantly frowned: "Those people who don't care, what are you grateful for?"
"When I used to be in the village, they all hated me, they all said that I was a fox spirit, demagoguery and harming people's lives, before my mother died, they just isolated us, but as soon as my mother died, they tied me to a tree. ”
Zuo Qiusheng raised his head and looked straight at Luo Anhua, and said: "But after I arrived in the Demon Realm, no one disliked me, no one scolded me for being a monster, and they never said that they would drive me out of the Demon Realm, so I am very grateful to them, and everyone is grateful." ”
Luo Anhua shook his head helplessly and laughed out loud, this kid really thinks a lot.
"Moreover," the corners of Zuo Qiusheng's mouth rose slightly, and the sadness and gloom on his face faded, "Sister Qingyin also said that to be a man is to be kind to others. ”
"She?" Luo Anhua sighed deeply, "She said you just listened?"
"Of course you have to listen!" Zuo Qiusheng pursed his lips and showed a stubborn look, "Sister Qingyin is the best for me, just like my mother." ”
Isn't it just to take care of you for a few years, how can you become your mother, Luo Anhua finally recovered his nature, rolled his eyes deeply driven by jealousy, and scolded in his heart: This little rabbit cub, just now he sincerely said that he wanted to repay the favor, and this seat believed it! Now he said that Qingyin is the best for her, what's the matter, has this seat treated you badly all these years, or abused you! Besides, if it weren't for me, Qingyin would have taken you in and taken care of you, dreaming!"
But think about it carefully, if you speak in good conscience, it is true that she has taken care of Zuo Qiusheng more over the years, and she admits this.
After thinking about it again, according to this nerd's thinking, if the sound is like a mother, then I have to be a father.
Luo Anhua shook his head vigorously to drive this thought out of his mind, and couldn't help but roll his eyes again, and said in his heart: Although his grandfather who is a little nerd at his age is cheap to him, the title of "father" still does not match himself, and he still has to be the white-clothed ghost king of Yushu Linfeng.
Zuo Qiusheng looked at Luo Anhua for a long time without speaking, and then cheered up the spirit, couldn't help frowning, stretched out his hand and shook his arm, and asked, "Ghost King, what's wrong with you? Why don't I check your pulse?" As he spoke, he grabbed his wrist and put it on the table, about to put his fingers on it.
Luo Anhua was stunned for a moment, and immediately withdrew his hand sensitively, frowning and said, "What's uncomfortable, but ...... It's just that I suddenly thought about the eldest lady of the General's Mansion and was thinking of countermeasures. ”
Zuo Qiusheng really believed his words, nodded and withdrew his hand.
It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, Luo Anhua breathed a sigh of relief and looked away.
You can't just let him take the pulse, otherwise all his thoughts will be looked at by him, which will damage his noble image of rejecting people for thousands of miles!
Clearing his throat and slowly calming his mind, Luo Anhua patted Zuo Qiusheng's head before returning to the topic: "It's good to be kind to others, but you can't be too accommodating to others and wronged yourself." ”
Seeing that he frowned a little confused, Luo Anhua patiently explained, "Do what you want to do, don't do what you don't want to do, don't wronged yourself just to please others, even if that person is me, understand?"
Zuo Qiusheng was a little mixed for a while, shocked, but more moved. The ghost king is for his own good, and when he thinks of this, Zuoqiu is happy, and he wants to laugh and cry happily.
Luo Anhua stroked the top of Zuo Qiusheng's head again, feeling extremely comfortable. But think about it, the person who bullies him most often is himself, if you want him to change his temperament, you have to change it first, and you can't help but stop bullying him so much.
In this case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so it is better to start today.
