In the year 999, Elder Long, who was over 50 years old, felt that he would die soon, and the torture of aging was only one aspect, but more importantly, he found that he could no longer keenly perceive the youkai that were already close to him, and the opponent could be close enough to kill him.Things started at noon in late spring, and Elder Long was about to clean up the few fish he had just caught and make himself a troublesome lunch, when he suddenly found that one of the fish he had caught was relatively large.He keenly felt that it had been taken, and what made him even more annoyed was that he did not feel the slightest movement or breath of the fish thief.He froze there for a long time, trying to feel even the slightest clue around him, but there was none.He tried several times to comfort himself with the reason that the fish had escaped by himself, that there might not be any fish at all, and that he had misremembered, but it was unconvincing.He can't remember anything wrong, and over the years he has become accustomed to remembering all the details of everything that happens around him, for example, three steps behind him is a big tree, which he can rely on to protect his back when he fights; The ground on the left is uneven, and it is not easy to run past people; The spear is always within reach of the right hand, with the tip forward; There are three bags with different things on the left, so don't forget to take them when you leave.If it weren't for that, he would have died a long time ago.He felt that this was unusual, and when he left, he was very careful to feel the aura around him, and there was really nothing out of the ordinary.The next morning, he found that the scones he had made the day before had also been stolen, and only one had been stolen.He sat motionless all day in the same place where the scones had been stolen, feeling the anomalies around him with his nose, ears, and veins, and still not feeling anything.Who would dare to do such a thing Entire Lingshan, those who know him know that it is best not to get close to him, so as not to be "killed by mistake" by him.Occasionally, someone who had to pass by him, without warning, would shout out that I was just passing by, and then deliberately walk away from him.Even those who don't know much about him don't know much about him, and don't know how to say hello when they pass near him, but they don't deliberately make him unable to hear it, and he will hear footsteps early and feel his breath.Those he killed by mistake were those who approached him lightly, or those who rushed straight at him.Although he apologized deeply to the deceased every time he buried them, he also felt that some of them were assassins who came at him.Indeed, there were too many people who wanted to kill him.Who could this person be who stole his fish and scones He was close enough to do it, but why didn't he do it, did he want to torture me Saying this, he is not from the official killer, but has come to avenge me for the person who was mistakenly killed, and wants me to have a nervous breakdown while waiting that I may be killed by him at any time Thinking of this, Elder Long's hand was released from the spear.He doesn't want his opponent to feel that he is starting to get nervous, on the contrary, he wants to make the opponent feel that he doesn't care, that he is relaxed, so that the opponent may relax and stop being so careful, that's fine, just let him feel the slightest noise, that's enough.Elder Long pretended to spend the whole day relaxed, in fact, he was catching the movements around him every moment, and he didn't really fall asleep at night, he deliberately stood his spear one step away from him, just waiting for the opponent to make a slight flaw.Still nothing happened.On the morning of the third day, Elder Long went to get his scones again, and something even more incredible happened, and there was a big wild melon where he put the scones."
Where are you?"
he asked alertly, knowing that he had already admitted that he had lost when he said it.He directly told his opponent that he couldn't perceive him, he just wanted to know who he was before he died, why he came, and why he had such superb skills, and as soon as his words fell, he heard the happy laughter of a very small child, and this sound alone made him feel that the world had completely changed.A sweetness not seen in many years rose from his heart, and he followed the sound and held him down with just a movement of his arm.He felt it as a soft, hot mass of meat, and he smiled, tears welling up in his eyes.He laughed for a long time, and the lump of flesh kept laughing, and kept breaking free.He let go of his hand and let him escape.This time, he heard his footsteps, as light as a small animal called "Lin".He could smell the scent he had left on his hand, exactly the same as the smell of the grass around him, no wonder his sense of smell was almost completely out of order."
It's you," Elder Long would suddenly say this to the empty space for many days to come.He knew that the child was nearby and would sneak in at any moment to steal his food.He deliberately made a lot of delicious food and put it in the usual place where he usually sits his scones.A heartfelt smile hung on his face all the time.It seemed as if he suddenly felt that his life had a meaning, or rather, he realized that the life that had lasted for nearly thirty years was meaningless, and that all he had to do was to be on the lookout for someone to kill him at any time, without laughter, without friends, and without anything he liked."
It's you," he suddenly asked in front of him again and again, and each time he experienced a feeling called "hope" that he had not seen for a long time.Day after day passed, and the child did not show up for a long time.It wasn't until four months later, in the autumn evening, that he suddenly felt a man coming towards him, apparently not the child, with a light, very ominous aura.He subconsciously grasped the spear, and suddenly, he heard footsteps like a lin."
It's you" The very light mischievous laughter, it was the child, almost at the same time, he heard the sound of the long sword cutting through the air, and subconsciously, the spear in his hand was already off the ground, but he didn't swing it, because he didn't know where the child was now.He felt the blade of his sword slash at his head, and he struck his spear sideways.The sword slashed at the shaft of the spear, and his face could already feel the chill of the blade, and he knew that his opponent would definitely stab him down, and plunge the sword into his neck.At this moment, he heard the panicked screams of a child and a muffled noise, some melon-like juice splashed on his face, and then the sound of an adult's body falling to the ground."
Are you alright?"
"I broke his head. ”The child's nervous voice."
How could it be" "He's dead. ”"What did you use to beat it?"
”"Hahaha" Elder Long smiled, touching the man's body, it was indeed the breath of death.Then Elder Long touched the man's head, which was covered with melon pulp and blood, and there was a hole near the ear that went all the way to the head, and the hole was exactly the size of a child's fist."
You didn't kill you, it was me."
Elder Long said decisively."
But you didn't do it.""
I did it, but you didn't see it.The eye is not credible. ”Elder Long deliberately leaned the spear against the wall, "Look at this" Elder Long raised his hand to the spear, and the spear seemed to jump into Elder Long's hand, and it was already in Elder Long's hand."
What do you see" "The spear jumped into your hand. ”"Haha, the spear is dead, how could it jump into my hand" Elder Long asked the child to take a closer look at the spear, "It's just that my hand is fast, you can't see it." ”"It's really."
The child screamed."
But I still want to thank you for saving me.""
I didn't think he was going to kill you, he just said he didn't believe I could put the wild melon on your table.""
Don't worry about him, you see there are some delicious foods here, you can eat them."
The child began to eat, and the sound of eating was delicious.Elder Long carried the assassin's corpse and walked out of the door, and before he had gone far, he felt the child following from behind, and the sound of Lin-like footsteps was very clear.It seems that as long as he didn't deliberately light his steps, the footsteps could still be heard."
What's your name?"
the kid asked him playfully."
My name is Clawcloud.""
Then I'll call it Clawcloud.""
What race are you from", "What race are you from", "I am from the dragon family." ”"Then I'm from the dragon clan too.""
How old are you", "How old are you", "53. ”"Then I'm 53 too.""
Speak well.""
I don't know anything.""
Where were you before you came here?"
”"Can you remember what happened first" "Thunder, lightning" The child stayed, and Elder Long made him a pair of small wooden shoes so that he could hear the child's location at any time.In close contact, Elder Long felt that this child's size was equivalent to the appearance of a two- or three-year-old child of the Dragon Clan, but he spoke and acted like a child about ten years old, and he estimated that this child must be from the demon department such as the Hui Demon and the Mist Demon, and the children of the demon department would be so precocious.He named the child "Mirin".Mi Lin called him "Claw Cloud." ”The first few times he called him "Clawcloud", he didn't realize that it was his own name, and no one had called him for nearly thirty years.t1706231537:
