Chapter 58: The Heartless Man (4)
The brocade-clothed demon always walks alone. The moonlight shone on the desolate sand dunes, and there seemed to be countless pairs of vicious eyes hidden behind it.
But the brocade-clothed demon didn't care, he wasn't afraid of whatever was hidden in the corner.
Because he didn't have the emotion of being "afraid".
Not only is it afraid, but he can't feel it. This is a man without a heart.
All he can understand is "satisfied" and "unsatisfied". Whenever he was dissatisfied, he would find a few people to kill, and when he was happy, he would go to rest, and so on every day.
"I didn't expect them to call me 'Brocade Demon'. It's a terrible name......" he muttered to himself, "I should have given myself a nice name......
Hundreds of hyenas suddenly jumped out from behind the dunes. This animal lives on carrion corpses, which are often found in places outside the law, and these animals are fed fat and strong.
They didn't dare to take the initiative to attack the living, but in the face of a lone wanderer, the cowardly hyena suddenly became emboldened.
The pure glint in those oily eyes was greedy desire.
The young man smiled, "Get out of the way." And flicked the sword lightly.
The hyena instinctively perceives that the person is not only not the prey, but that it is more terrifying than any predator.
They whined and wailed, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone.
The dunes were quiet again. The young man raised his head and admired the bright moonlight.
His memory began two years ago.
The moment the lava erupted in Huangzhou City, he woke up. He didn't feel the slightest pain, only the coolness of the fire.
And this indestructible sword, inseparable from him from the moment he opened his eyes.
The young man felt that he needed a piece of clothing.
It happened that there was a man with a long stick outside, who was about the same height as him, wearing a purple dress, looking graceful and luxurious.
So the suit was put on him.
Later, he gradually developed trousers, boots, a tiara, a sweatband, and a very expensive mink fur.
Although the mink fur is broken today, it doesn't matter, he will always find another collar.
There was a sudden cry in front, and the young man followed the sound and walked over.
It turned out that several refugees had been robbed by a gang of robbers. These people had white cloths wrapped around their heads, and they seemed to be from Sichuan. They did not want to be slaves in Baihufan, but they could not escape to Yunnan over the steep Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, so they could only venture out of Shu from Huangzhou Prefecture.
It's a pity that the land outside the law is ten thousand times more dangerous than the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. As soon as they arrived, they were confronted by thieves. Two men and one woman each had knives stuck in their backs, and they were out of breath. There was also a little girl lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
A robber rummaged through his luggage and scolded: "Damn, these two poor ghosts didn't leave anything of value for me." grandma, it's a bargain!"
Another robber said, "I said, we don't have much rice and noodles left, why don't we pull these people back and make them into jerky and use them as rations?"
"Bah, you're fucking crazy? Adults have corpse poison on their bodies, you can't eat it! But...... This kid has fine skin and tender meat, but he can be a lamb!"
After that, several people laughed together "hehe".
The young man stood in the distance, his face still so elegant and calm.
At this moment, the little girl on the ground suddenly turned her head sideways to look at the young man.
There was a pleading look in his eyes, and anyone could read the meaning. To live is only endless torture for her, and she only asks for a relief.
The young man smiled and suddenly shouted at the robbers, "Hey, you guys!"
The robber turned his head sharply, but felt a chill on his neck. They watched as blood rushed into the sky like a fountain of blood, and then their heads separated from their bodies.
They couldn't figure out who had killed them.
The young man picked up the child and asked, "Do you want to die?"
The girl suddenly hugged his arm and burst into tears.
The young man's face changed slightly, pushed her away, and said coldly: "Don't be so anxious, it's your turn next." ”
He had expected the kid to be scared and scream. But unexpectedly, the girl said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, good man." I will surely bless you in heaven. ”
The young man was very confused and asked, "You don't understand, I'm going to kill you, why do you thank me?"
The girl said: "My father and mother are gone, and I am alone with endless suffering." If you kill me, I will be reunited with them, so thank you. ”
The young man smiled, pinned the sword behind his back, and said, "In that case, I will not kill you, and leave you to suffer more sins in the world." ”
The girl shook her head helplessly and sighed: "There are some good people in the world who do good things but don't want to admit it, and they always insist that they do it on purpose." She spoke eloquently, and her expression was like that of a little adult.
The young man was stunned and couldn't answer for a long time.
The child found a broken knife, dug a pit, and buried the parent and another person.
She erected two monuments and bowed: "Father, mother, I will take care of myself when I leave." You wait, I'll be looking for you soon. ”
After that, he bowed a few more times.
The young man was a little bored, turned around and left. Unexpectedly, the child caught up in three or two steps, grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked, "Good man, where are you going?"
The young man looked back: "First, don't call me a good person, second, where I'm going has nothing to do with you, and third, don't follow me. ”
He finished and left. But just after taking a dozen steps, he stopped. Looking back, Lili was hiding behind a sand dune, looking at him with a probing head.
He sighed and said, "What the hell do you want?"
Li Zhiwu said: "Good man, I beg you something, can you help me find and lick it?"
"Who is Tian Tian?"
"It's licking! It's not sweet. Lick is a dog, and I got lost and I want to find it. ”
The young man suddenly had a perfect plan in his mind - to help the little girl find the dog first, and then throw the dog to death in front of her.
In this way, even if you have done bad things, it is enough to offset the anxiety caused by saving people just now.
So he nodded, "Okay." I'll accompany you to find and lick it. ”
But it's not so easy to find a dog in the desert. They ran around for three days, and finally found the dying puppy next to a small puddle.
In order to let the girl see the tragedy of the puppy when it was dying, the young man decided to revive it first.
He took out two slices of jerky, soaked them in water to soften, and brought them to the dog's mouth.
Licking and smelling the fragrance, it got up, and it found its favorite jerky, and it screamed with joy. When he saw his master, he wagged his tail with joy.
Then it plunged headlong into the palm of the young man's hand and devoured it. After a long time, the puppy finally had eaten and drunk enough, and raised his sparkling eyes to look at the young man.
This is a common little earth dog in the countryside, dirty, and you can tell at a glance that you have not tasted any oil and water.
The young man slowly picked up the dog with both hands, wondering whether to throw it to death or to fall half to death.
But at this moment, the puppy suddenly licked him.
The reason why this dog is called licking is because it loves to lick things.
The warm, wet tongue touched the fingertips of the youth, conveying a simplest kind of happiness and love. Dogs are very insensitive animals, as long as you are a little bit kind to them, they will return you with great enthusiasm.
The young man was stunned, he had never experienced kindness. Just as he was stunned, the dog licked him again.
The young man screamed, and retracted his hand as if he had been burned by something. The godly smile on his face was gone, replaced by panic and anxiety.
People are certainly panicked when faced with malice, and they are often overwhelmed when faced with sudden kindness. The Brocade Demon is no exception.
Lili caught the puppy and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, good man?"
The young man turned his back, waved his hand, and said, "You...... Don't come here!"
But before he could finish speaking, Lick Lick rushed over and jumped around his feet.
The girl smiled and said, "Look, it likes you very much." I'll tell you a secret, Lick is the smartest, and the people it likes are big and good people!"
Little by little, the expression on the young man's face was disintegrating. He muttered to himself, "Can I be a good man too?"
The girl suddenly said, "You helped me find Lick, I'll do you a favor too." Have you lost anything particularly important? I can ask Lick to help you. Don't underestimate it, its nose is smart, no matter what it is, you can find it by smelling it!"
The young man was silent for a long time and said, "I am a person without a heart. I want to get my heart back, can I do that?"
The girl was a little puzzled and scratched her head: "Heart, the heart grows in the chest, if it's gone, I don't know where to find it......
But...... But you can trust me and Lick, we'll be able to help you get your heart back!"
The young man nodded: "Okay, you can help me find my heart." ”
The girl clapped her hands happily: "Great, we're going to go with the good guys!"
She suddenly stopped and asked, "Good man, what's your name?"
The young man thought for a while: "My name is Lu Heng. I love the name. ”
The girl said, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be my big brother and licking! I see that you seem to have very high martial arts, and now this world will be very popular in martial arts." Maybe I can rely on you to become a rich woman!"
She laughed out loud after she finished speaking, and Le's snot bubbles bubbled out.
Lu Heng suddenly felt that something was quietly growing in his empty chest. He said coldly, "Let's go." ”
So the two of them and a dog embarked on a journey. Their target is the outside world.
