Chapter 17: Cao Jie
The recent atmosphere in the magic capital has swept away the gloomy and quiet of the past, and has become very festive.
The sons and daughters who had been separated for many years finally came out of the training camp, which made these demon parents all look excited and smile.
This joy is no less than that of the human race, and even better than that of the human race, because the demon race has always had few children.
Originally, fertility was underground, and every newborn demon clan was a baby-like existence, coupled with more than ten years of longing, now that I finally saw it, I naturally couldn't help but be happy.
However, they rejoiced for a few days, and a more important event "cruelly" interrupted the atmosphere of their meeting with their children.
The war in Kyushu is aggravated, and the demon lord is in urgent need of soldiers!
Ten years ago, the demon lord led the demon army to fight the land of Kyushu, and ten years have passed, and the demon clan also has a large base in Kyushu, and in order to fight with the human race, he will naturally come back to recruit troops.
However, it has been a long time since the last time soldiers and horses were recruited, and the people in the demon capital originally thought that the demon lord and the demon clan had established a firm foothold in Kyushu, but now it seems that this is not the case
This kind of speculation made many people in the Demon Capital rub their fists and feet, and they were excited to prepare to respond to the call of the Demon Lord, and prepare to go to Kyushu to make a contribution.
The demons are belligerent.,Don't resist charging into battle or something.,It can even be said that it's extremely willing.,Basically, as long as the recruitment order is reached,,They will scramble to apply.,But the number of places for each conscription is not so much.,Naturally, not everyone can get their wish.
The wind and clouds outside have nothing to do with Lu Yu, he doesn't even know what has happened outside recently,
Since being taken back to this quiet courtyard by the woman, that is, Mrs. Huan in the mouth of the maids, Lu Yu has been "harassed" all the time.
When he slept, the woman would come back and forth to make the quilt for him
While he was eating, before he could move his mouth, the woman kept putting vegetables in his bowl.
When she was free, she tirelessly said this and that to Lu Yu, and every time Lu Yu said that she was sleepy.
There was always an excited look on her face, Lu Yu was always embarrassed to refuse her closeness, but she couldn't always go on like this.
He didn't stay here to enjoy any "maternal love", and he hadn't figured out the dagger yet.
So a week later, Lu Yu finally decided that he couldn't let the woman "entangle" himself all day.
He thought of a way to divert the woman's attention!
But how to transfer it?
That's a problem
Lu Yu, who thought about it, accidentally heard the maids say that Mrs. Huan was very timid and most afraid of mice, which couldn't help but make him roll his eyes and think about it.
Mouse, not here, but he'll change.
As a result, in the rather quiet house, a "share" of rat plagues quietly broke out
It started a quiet night, Lu Yu turned into a mouse, crawled into the unsuspecting Mrs. Huan's bedroom, crawled around her face for a while, and finally woke her up.
What happened next was as Lu Yu expected, after Mrs. Huan woke up, she was frightened and screamed loudly.
But this is just the beginning, for three days in a row, Lu Yu will go in to scare her, even if there are guards who are constantly closely monitoring and defending, they can't always monitor the bedroom, and they can't stop Lu Yu who can change at will.
It wasn't until three days later that Lu Yu stopped this prank.
It was not that Mrs. Huan was finally distracted by the rat as he wished, but that she was scared out of her illness beyond Lu Yu's expectations
Although it was fine, it had to be bedridden for a while.
This couldn't help but make Lu Yu feel quite guilty, he just wanted to divert the woman's attention, but he didn't want to hurt others.
But at this point, guilt is useless, so I can only visit every morning, noon and evening to talk about my thoughts.
As for the rest of the time, it was finally his own
In the back garden, the blue-haired girl was sitting quietly in a gazebo, her eyes indifferent and cold, even after her titular brother came.
Lu Yu stepped into the pavilion, looked at the girl's indifferent look, said hello, and then didn't know how to speak
After a moment's hesitation, he sat down across from the girl, wondering how he should stir up a conversation about the dagger.
Although during this time, Lu Yu did not have time to get close to the girl, but from the woman, he still learned some information about the girl.
Her name is Cao Jie, and she is considered the adopted daughter of the woman, but she is not completely unrelated, because Cao Jie's father is the same as Lu Yu's cheap father, and her mother died not long after Cao Jie was born.
So Cao Jie was arranged by the cheap father to the relatively gentle Mrs. Huan, and asked her to raise it on her behalf, and this raising has been raised until now.
Although the girl's expression was indifferent, she was only fifteen years old, only three years older than the current Lu Yu.
Her personality is a bit like Cai Yan who Lu Yu met in her previous life, but it is different.
Lu Yu felt that Cai Yan's indifference was the kind of calmness from the inside out, while the girl in front of her tended to be indifferent and disguised!
Yes, it's a disguise, Lu Yu's intuition tells him that the girl is not a three-no-person who lacks feelings, but a "problem girl" who doesn't want to show her emotions.
Her feelings are buried in the deepest part of her heart, and they are not usually revealed, but it does not mean that there are none.
For example, now, even though her expression is indifferent, Lu Yu can feel that she still wants to be close to herself in her heart, and this kind of closeness is not between men and women, but between sisters and brothers.
Knowing this, Lu Yu still didn't know how to speak, because he was hesitating whether he wanted to call out the word sister
Call it, he's awkward, don't call it, do you just call the girl you?
Leaning on the stone table with his chin propped up, Lu Yu stared at the girl opposite in a daze, although he was thinking about his thoughts, but the girl didn't know.
was stared at for a long time by a pair of dark and bright, quite beautiful eyes, even if the girl's temperament was "indifferent", but she had begun to can't help it, her ice blue lips opened lightly, looked at Lu Yu, and asked lightly: "Is there anything wrong with my brother looking for me?"
Suddenly coming back to his senses by this younger brother's call, Lu Yu hurriedly said: "No, it's nothing, it's just"
At this point, he didn't go on.
Cao Jie watched him quietly and waited for the following.
Seeing her leisurely posture, Lu Yu organized the language for a while, and then said: "It's just curious about the dagger of my sister."
At the end, he hurriedly added: "I have seen a similar shape in the training camp, so I am more curious." ”
Dagger?
Cao Jie glanced at her waist, her eyes subconsciously flashing something, but when she raised her head, she returned to her usual appearance: "Maybe it's a coincidence." ”
Possibly
Lu Yu smiled, seeing that the girl didn't want to reveal anything at all, she was slightly disappointed in her heart, but she was not discouraged, but said again: "Well, sister, do you usually practice martial arts?"
His sister's cry was a little wrong, but the girl didn't notice this, raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her hand and stretched out a plain white finger, and tapped the stone table in front of her.
