Pearl Roll Gaiden: The Devil and the Maiden

Ye Tianhua is forty-five this year, and he has long passed the age of standing, and he is still alone.

Forty is not confused, but Ye Tianhua is still puzzled, why it has become like this. You should let go, so that it is a kind of torture for yourself and the other party.

But whenever I think of her face and her smile, I am unwilling.

Ye Tianhua's swordsmanship is amazing in the martial arts, but this terrifying swordsman in the evil way has not learned martial arts since childhood. When he learned swords, he had already passed the age of learning martial arts, and his bones were average, and his qualifications for learning martial arts were mediocre, so no one was willing to accept him as an apprentice.

But he was unwilling, and with the hatred in his heart, he finally found someone who was willing to teach him.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, let alone a mediocre person like Ye Tianhua. So Ye Tianhua is very hard working and studying very seriously.

The martial arts of their faction are actually very powerful, but they are extremely difficult to practice.

The first step in learning this martial art is to reforge the bones. Breaking the bones of the whole body is a pain that ordinary people can hardly imagine. There is only one in ten thousand who can survive after recasting the bones.

And this is a little bit of pain in learning this martial art.

On the day of success, the world in Ye Tianhua's eyes changed and became single, with only one color - red, the red of blood.

After that, he began a brutal massacre.

He once dyed a river red with dust, and once he dyed a forest red. In his opinion, only when the sky and the earth are stained red with blood are the most vivid.

Actually, he didn't want to kill. But the martial arts he practiced, the anger in it was too heavy, and the pain he accumulated when he practiced, only by venting in this way could he relax a little.

After a long time, he killed more people, and he became numb. He couldn't even remember the purpose of his initial practice.

Finally, one day, while resting on a tree at the edge of the forest, he was awakened by the singing of a young girl.

It was an ordinary day, and the sky was blood-red, and the earth was blood-red, and the people were blood-red.

But the song was not.

When he heard the singing, it was like injecting a trace of life green into this blood-red world.

Ye Tianhua jumped down from the tree and sat on a stone on the side of the road, waiting for the owner of the song.

Soon, I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walking on the other side of the road. The girl was of average appearance, dressed plainly, and had learned to turn white in her clothes.

Her mouth sang a cheerful song, and her face was filled with this happy smile.

Such a smile finally reminded Ye Tianhua that the reason why he practiced was so that she could face herself squarely, hoping that in her eyes, she was not the stupid melon who didn't know anything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

But now, he can no longer see her openly, and even secretly to see her, he feels that he is not worthy.

The girl sang a cheerful song and walked lightly to the bottom of the tree. Xu was tired of walking, so the girl stopped, put down the basket in her hand, and sat down on a stone.

Although the song stopped, the people stopped, but the smile did not retreat from her face, thinking that she was happy.

Maybe it was a beautiful cloth bought at the market, maybe it was a young guy on an outing, maybe it was a younger brother that my mother had added for herself. In short, all new things are worth rejoicing in this girl's heart.

In this way, the girl leaned against the tree and looked at the sky.

Suddenly, a colorful bird came into her eyes. As soon as she saw this beautiful bird, the girl didn't care about anything else in her eyes.

Until the bird flew to the tree behind her, her eyes also followed to the tree, and she saw Ye Tianhua on the boulder under the tree.

"Ahh But one of them did not pay attention, and stepped on a stone under his feet, and the person leaned back.

But when he saw the figure flash, the man under the tree had come behind him and helped himself up.

"You...... Who are you?" Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, dressed in extremely dazzling red clothes, the girl was at a loss and hurriedly pushed him away. I often heard the master in the village say that men and women can't accept it clearly, and if the people in the village know about it, her father and mother will not scold her to death.

Ye Tianhua's current strength, he doesn't want people to touch him, and few people can touch him. He didn't want people to break free, and not even an elephant could push him away.

But it was such a little girl who easily pushed him away.

At this time, the girl also realized that the person in front of her was helping herself just now, and she apologized: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to push you away." ”

"It doesn't matter. Ye Tianhua smiled in his heart, he was really a simple child. His own murderous aura was afraid of anyone who saw it, and he didn't blame the little girl for pushing him away, but he apologized to himself.

Seeing that Ye Tianhua didn't speak for a long time, the little girl thought he was angry, so she hurriedly took out an egg from her basket and handed it to him, saying, "Here you go, thank you for helping me just now." ”

Ye Tianhua was stunned, no one had thanked him for a long time.

"No need. Ye Tianhua refused: "Keep this for you, I don't need it." ”

"Oh!" the girl put the eggs back in the basket with some disappointment, sat down on the boulder again, and asked boredly, "Uncle, where are you going?"

"Just take a walk around it. ”

Girl: "Oh, then you must be a poet?"

Ye Tianhua was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Girl: "I've heard from those students in the academy that poets used to travel around the mountains and rivers, drink wine and write poems, and they were very chic. And they always carry a sword, and when they see a bully, they draw their swords to help......"

Looking at the girl's envious and expectant eyes, Ye Tianhua sneered in his heart: "That's all in the book." ”

Girl: "Isn't what the book says wrong? If it's not right, why do you have to write it in the book?" ”

Ye Tianhua: "Poets are also human beings, and they also have to eat, drink, and sleep." If they travel all day long, then where do they get their income. You can't rob the bully's money of your life after seeing the road is uneven. ”

The girl laughed when he said this, "What you said seems to make sense." So what do you say?"

"I ......" Ye Tianhua thought for a while and said: "In the eyes of others, I am a big devil who kills people without blinking, and in my own eyes, I am a poor worm with nothing." ”

Girl: "I asked what you do and why you answered what kind of person you are." ”

Ye Tianhua: "What kind of person, what kind of thing to do......"

"Oh!" the girl suddenly realized: "You are a chivalrous warrior who robs the rich and helps the poor, just like the heroes of Liangshan in the book." In the eyes of corrupt officials, you are the devil, but you always give the money you have stolen to the poor, so you have nothing. ”

Ye Tianhua smiled: "What a simple child, he always thinks about everything so beautiful." But I'm a big devil indeed. ”

"You're not!" the girl disagreed, "I've seen the big devil." ”

"You've seen the Adversary?"

"Yes. The girl said with certainty: "One year there was a bumper harvest in the village, and then the robbers on the mountain came down to grab the grain, and killed an old man in the village. ”

"Have you read books and know how to read?" Ye Tianhua was a little surprised: "The current school actually allows girls to go to school. ”

"Originally, it was not allowed, but then an old master came, saying that it was a person from the school, and after he came, despite everyone's opposition, he let the woman go to school too. ”

"Then the old people in the village can also be open-minded. ”

Of course they didn't want to, and they brought a lot of people to drive the master away, but the master was very powerful, and they beat them away in a few strokes. At that time, he was the only teacher in the village, and he said that if girls were not allowed to come to school in the future, he would not teach. If the village still wanted to invite gentlemen from outside, he would drive them all away. ”

"What a domineering teacher. ”

"Actually, it's not!" the girl hurriedly hugged the teacher and said: "The teacher is usually very kind, and only when he encounters those who are unreasonable, the teacher will be as unreasonable as them." Even if there is a student who is not good at homework, the teacher will not be angry, and he also said: If the student does not learn well, the teacher will not teach, and the problem is not the student. ”

Such a theory has long been proposed, teaching students according to their aptitude can get twice the result with half the effort, but in this world, there are a few teachers who will attribute the reason why students do not learn well to themselves. They will only teach like a template, and they will always treat those who can't keep up with the progress as poor students.

As everyone knows, it is their attitude that has killed how many geniuses they may never be able to reach. Or, they were originally geniuses, and after being stifled by the template, they inherited the legacy of the template, continued to stifle new geniuses, and looked for the best heir.

"Don't you have to go to class today?"

"I asked my teacher for a leave of absence. Some time ago, my father was sick, and I went to the temple with my mother to burn incense and pray for blessings. Now that my father's illness has recovered, I took advantage of the fact that today is the day of the temple fair, so I went to the temple to make a vow. ”

"Are you alone?" Ye Tianhua asked, "Didn't you say that there are bandits here, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid, the last time the bandits came to rob, they were knocked down by the old master alone, and now they don't dare to go down the mountain. ”

After resting for a while, the girl stood up and continued to hurry: "Uncle, you are fine, why don't you go to the town with me to catch the temple fair." ”

"Good ......"

After a short conversation with the girl, Ye Tianhua actually had an urge to protect her, this impulse was simple, pure, and without a trace of distractions.

Such an impulse should never be there for a murderer like Ye Tianhua. Once you have this impulse, it is equivalent to having a flaw, and walking the rivers and lakes, a flaw is equivalent to death.

With Ye Tianhua's temperament, he could completely suppress such an impulse, but when the girl asked him, his "good" still didn't go through his brain and spit out of his mouth.

Is it because of the girl's innocence, or because the girl trusts him so much when they first meet, or because the girl is like her, no matter who she talks to, she can be like an old friend.

As soon as she heard Ye Tianhua agree, the girl was overjoyed, and hurriedly took his hand and left, forgetting the master's sentence that men and women are not kissed.

The moment the girl held his hand, Ye Tianhua was like an electric power.

This kind of simplest action in getting along with people has stirred up turbulent waves in Ye Tianhua's heart, where have you ever encountered such a feeling?

Before the distant opening of the world, it was still in the dark and endless hell.

Girl, pure and lovely girl;

Uncle, uncle with blood on his hands.

What a wonderful combination, what an incredible existence, but in this vibrant place, when spring is in full bloom, come together.

The road behind him has become a thing of the past, and the road in front of him has gradually receded in blood.

If you keep going down this road, it may really be a happy ending......
