Fan Xuan's mood is very unstable now. To untie the bell, the person who tied it had to be tied. She had to untie the inner demons she had formed herself, and Xu Huaigu could only help her so far.
He didn't do much to persuade her. Seeing Fan Xuan staring at the corner in a daze and Chu Xiuyang also falling asleep soundly, Xu Huaigu got up and left the small wooden house.
Walking on the streets of the small town, he began to have some doubts in his heart. Could it be that what Lu Zijin said was true and that he was too soft-hearted after all?
Tang She did not kill him, and Fan Xuan had already forgiven him. It seemed that all his enemies had no hatred.
But by doing this, is it worthy of those who died? There are so many souls of dead soldiers under Tan She's hands, and Zhuang Yeyun's lives are under Fan Xuan's hands, so there is nothing wrong with asking them to pay for it with their lives.
Xu Huaigu sighed as he thought of this. Many things came to mind at once. He thought of the abbot in the dilapidated temple in Feiyuzhou, and of Chen Yuanwai's family in Hemen City at the foot of the mountain, and he couldn't help but feel increasingly confused.
Not only Lu Zijin's words troubled him, but also Li Zi. Almost everyone around him was trying to persuade him not to have too many entanglements with Li Zi, as that would be of no benefit to either him or Li Zi.
But obviously the two of them had been such good friends and had never changed their minds about each other, so why did they end up like this?
There is love in my heart but I can't see each other. On the contrary, it seems that I want to avoid suspicion. Xu Huaigu couldn't come up with any answers to these questions.
He was thinking about this as he walked back until he approached the camp where the monks were resting. Xu Huaigu opened the curtain and walked in, only to see that in the huge tent, only Yu Qin and a child were inside, and all the other monks were missing.
Where did the children in this military camp come from? It turns out that this child-like person is Tang She. Tanshe was sitting on a low bench at this time, and Yu Qin was half-crouching, holding a pair of scissors in his hand and carefully cutting his hair.
When he transformed into a human form before, Xu Huaigu saw that his hair was disheveled, as if he had never taken care of it. He thought that the demon clan didn't care about appearance, so that's why he was like this.
Yu Qin's technique is also half-baked, but she cuts it very seriously. The snake sat still. It must have never experienced such a scene. It looked very cramped and sat very uneasily.
At this time, Xu Huaigu opened the curtain and came in, naturally disturbing the two of them. Yu Qin looked over and saw that it was Xu Huaigu, so she smiled and said, "Why have you been here for so long? What did Lu Zijin tell you?" Xu Huaigu looked at the two of them, and felt an inexplicable jealousy in his heart. He answered inappropriately and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Are you cutting his hair?"
"Aren't you going to take him in?" Yu Qin said while moving the scissors,
"No matter what kind of monster he is, after he turns into a human, he will look like a child, with disheveled hair, which doesn't look right. So I thought about cutting it for him to make him look cleaner and fresher." Tangshe's bangs have been cut. After losing most of it, he looked towards Xu Huaigu, and Xu Huaigu also looked over. Only then could he really see his face clearly.
It was a slightly childish face, with thin cheeks and no trace of excess flesh. Her face is fair, her eyebrows are long and slender, and she has a feminine appearance, which is somewhat feminine.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of reddish ridged pupils, which are like glass beads embedded in the eye sockets. They are extremely beautiful.
Yu Qin glanced at Tangshe's face and said with a smile: "This child is very good-looking. After dressing up, I believe that she is a girl. I'm afraid someone else will cross the threshold and come forward to propose marriage." Xu Huaigu smiled.
Tang She was a little confused and asked, "What does proposing marriage mean?" Yu Qin blinked and asked, "Have you never heard of proposing marriage?" Tang She shook her head.
"Then do you have parents?" Tangshe nodded this time.
"Proposing a marriage means that if your father falls in love with your mother and wants to marry her, you have to go to your mother's house and tell her and her family about it. Of course, you also need to bring gifts. , this is the proposal of marriage." Tang She nodded seriously and said to herself: "Proposal of marriage... remember." Yu Qin was a little curious and asked: "Didn't the demon tribe propose marriage? What about your parents? How did we meet?" Tanshe shook her head and replied: "There is no such troublesome etiquette. In the demon clan, the strong only marry the strong, and the weak can only be matched with the weak. My parents are both strong men in the clan. , no one has any objection to their union." Yu Qin frowned and asked, "Then do your parents like each other?"
"I don't know. Actually, I don't quite understand the meaning of liking. Does it mean liking something?" Yu Qin patiently explained: "Of course people also like things, but the liking between people is different. It's the same. If you like something, it must be because there is something about that thing that attracts you. However, if you like someone, sometimes you can't tell the reason. But you just feel that you are inseparable from him. If he is not in front of you for a moment, Then I feel uneasy. Furthermore, if you have a treasure that you like very much, you will want to let more people see it and let them like your treasure. However, if you like someone, you cannot share it. You will want to He only belongs to you, and you wish no one else could see him." Xu Huaigu's heart skipped a beat as he listened.
After hearing this, Tangshe became more and more confused and said, "I still don't understand." Yu Qin smiled and said, "I haven't read much and can't explain these principles clearly. Xu Huaigu, why don't you explain it to him?" ?" Xu Huaigu smiled and said: "The word "like" can only be understood but not expressed in words. When he has someone he likes, he will understand." Yu Qin pursed his lips and smiled, and cut a few dazzling strands for Tan She. With long hair, he stood up, lowered his head and looked carefully, and said: "It seems to be almost done." The bangs were cut a lot, exposing the eyebrows, but the rest of the hair was still over the shoulders. Xu Huaigu said: "Is it possible? Is it a little too long?" Yu Qin took off a piece of white tape from his wrist and tied up his long hair. After looking at it a few more times, he was very satisfied and said, "This is what makes him look good. Tang She, what do you think? What?" Tang She touched her hair, looked at Yu Qin's, and said, "It looks similar to yours, I like it very much."
"That's good." Yu Qin smiled and said,
"Besides, I'm more than ten years older than you, so you should call me sister."
"Sister." Yu Qin responded and smiled, so sweetly. She pointed at Xu Huaigu again and said with a smile: "You should call him brother." Tanshe looked at Xu Huaigu, shook her head and said, "He is the master." When Xu Huaigu heard this, he raised his eyebrows in fright and asked Yu Qin said: "Is this what you taught him?" Yu Qin shook his head vigorously and said with a smile: "I didn't say that. He said that in the demon clan, there are sometimes wars between clans, and the clan that wins If you annex the losing clan, the losing clan will call them masters. I told him that there is no such term in our country, but he just didn't listen."
"This child is pretty good, I think it's good." Yu Qin was in a good mood,
"He is obedient and willing to learn. He is much better than some people who were only naughty and mischievous when they were young." Xu Huaigu laughed when he knew she was talking about him.
Yu Qin lowered his head and asked him: "By the way, what's your name? I keep calling you Tan She, it's really awkward." Tan She shook her head and said, "I don't have a name. The demon clan will only pick one when they reach adulthood. Name. The name is very important to the demon clan and cannot be easily told to others." The name cannot be easily told to others?
Not only was Yu Qin unaware of such a thing, Xu Huaigu had never heard of such a rule.
The two looked at each other, a little confused. Yu Qin asked curiously: "But doesn't your name tell others who you are? How come you have a name and you can't tell others easily?" Tanshe replied: "If others know your name, they can let you go. You can't go against him in anything you do. Even if you are asked to die, you can't resist. So you can't tell people your name easily." Yu Qin was taken aback and said: "Is there such a strange thing in the world? What if What will happen if you don’t listen to that person?”
"It will be very painful, and life will be worse than death."
"How is that possible? It's just a name. Even if you don't listen to it, how can you be worse than dead?"
"I heard the elders in the tribe talk about this. They said that in a very ancient time, the demon tribe had no name. Different ethnic groups used different languages and had little contact with each other. Until one day, Our demon tribe has a saint. His power is superior to all demon tribes, and everyone respects him. So he created a unified language to unite all demon tribes. And he set the rules, all The demon clan must be given a name when it reaches adulthood, and it can never be changed, and it cannot violate the words that say its name, otherwise it will suffer a lot." Xu Huaigu frowned and said: "That saint, is Molong?"
"Not my king." As soon as Tanshe said it, she realized that she had said it wrong. In the territory of the human race, they probably don't want to hear the word "my king".
So he quickly changed his words: "That saint was earlier, far, far earlier, and his power was stronger."
"This legend is quite interesting." Xu Huaigu was very interested.
"So, you can't give me a name now?" Tang She hesitated for a long time and said, "If the master wants to, of course he can give him a name."
"Don't call me master, I'm so scared." Xu Huaigu felt sweat break out on his forehead.
"If I am called like that all day long, my life will be shortened?" Yu Qin said with a smile: "Don't you want to teach others the etiquette of the tribe? In my opinion, let him call you sir, and you can treat him as a student. , it's a good match." When Xu Huaigu heard this, he was right in his mind and said with a smile: "Okay, that's exactly what it should be called. Tanshe, then you can call me sir from now on. As for your name, I won't always call you Tanshe. It's better to choose a decent name. But this name is not your formal name. It is only used as a greeting. Since he didn't call you this name, you must listen to his words. What do you think? "
"Yes, sir." When Tang She said this, she was still sitting on the chair motionless. Yu Qin hurriedly helped him up, and taught him how to clasp his hands, clasp his fists, and bow his head in salute, so the snake copied it in a decent manner and said again: "Yes, sir." Xu Huaigu smiled.
I didn't expect that the border team would be able to accept a student. Besides, so far, he seems to be very obedient and seems to be a talented person.
But what will happen in the future, Xu Huaigu still dare not take it lightly. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The word "adulthood" cannot be obtained by studying hard in a short time. It is more valuable in the long run.
How long his road can go from now on depends on his own destiny.
