Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits

"Why? Why do you say that!" Zhu Xuan was excited. ? Bayi Chinese Network W ≠ W≥W≥. ≥8 ≠ 1 ≠ Ｚ = W≈. ≥C≥O≈M

"Because Shi Yitong is only nineteen years old!" I said loudly, "Look at him, do you think he looks like a man in his thirties?"

Zhu Xuanyuan stopped, "but ..."

"Human life is much shorter than you think," I said calmly. "We can't maintain our original appearance in thirty years."

"But it's impossible, that jade, that jade belongs to him!" Zhu Xuan said excitedly, "I can't admit wrong!"

"If you mean this bracelet," Shi Yitong took the bracelet off his wrist, and said sorry, "this is found from the relics of my grandpa. My grandpa used to like to collect some weird things, although I don't know where this bracelet came from, but basically, no matter who its former owner was, it should have passed away. "

Shi Yitong placed the bracelet in Zhu Xuan's palm. Zhu Xuanyuan took it and looked up at Shi Yitong. "So ... aren't you really him?"

"I don't know who you said he is." Shi Yitong smiled dryly.

"So I've been wrong?" Zhu Xuan looked at us suspiciously.

A few of us nodded together.

"Oh, uh ..." Zhu Xuan's face turned red immediately because of embarrassment. He lowered his head and was very embarrassed and didn't dare to look at us.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Shi Yitong patted Zhu Xuan's shoulder with a big grin. "You don't really like me suddenly, just let me breathe a sigh of relief."

At this sentence, several people laughed lightly.

"So, what the **** is going on?" I asked, looking at Zhuxuan on the bed. "Will you explain to us?"

Zhu Xuan looked at me, and then looked at Shi Yitong and Su Xiaoying, and nodded slowly, "This is a bit long, I don't know if I can make it clear."

"Then you can make a long story short," Su Xiaochen laughed.

"Well." Zhu Xuan sat up against the mattress and began to tell us this curious story.

"Things need to start when the beast began to harass Diecui Mountain 30 years ago." Zhu Xuan said slowly. "There are many legends about me in this city, and some say I'm trying to save the flood. Some people said that I was to protect the general ’s soul, but in fact I was ashamed. I came here just to enjoy the mountains and water. The scenery in this place is beautiful, with green mountains and flowing water, so I For a long time, I lived in the mountains, enjoying the natural scenery, chatting with the animals in the mountains. It was then that I broke into my life. "

"Is it you who mistakenly recognized me?" Shi Yitong interjected.

Zhu Xuan nodded and continued, "He is a human. He is the son of a hunter, so I often see him go up the hill to hunt. But every time he doesn't get much, just some small animals, pheasant or rabbit Sometimes, there are some fishes. Even hunters, few people go up the mountain every day, so once I get to go, I become familiar with him. I teach him how to hunt, so gradually, he will hit some bigger ones. Something. Something like a deer or a goat. "

"How did you do that!" I yelled excitedly, "You don't even have a gun! You killed an sika deer so empty-handed!"

"I didn't kill it." Zhu Xuan laughed and walked away from the deer lying on the ground. "It just fainted. It's not difficult. As long as you are familiar with the structure of these animals, it's very faint simple."

"Wow-you are so handsome!" But he did not recognize Zhu Xuan's modest words at all, and turned around the fallen sika deer, and said in amazement, "It's incredible! You are the one I've seen The best hunter! "

Zhu Xuan smiled, squatted down and looked at the deer carefully, and asked, "So-are you going to kill it back?"

"Why not?" I said excitedly, "This may be my biggest prey this week!"

"However, she is a doe." Zhu Xuan said.

"What happened to the doe?" Mi said strangely.

"Look, she's lactating." Zhu Xuan pointed her finger at the lower abdomen of the sika deer, and said, "This shows that she is still a mother. This deer will have three to five lambs in one child. If you kill her Death means that somewhere on this mountain, three to five fawns will be starved to death. "

"It's true." I stood up and scratched my head. "If that's the case, just forget it."

Zhu Xuan laughed, "Forget it? Will you give up your biggest prey this week?"

"No way, how could I have the heart to start a mother." He said earnestly.

Not long after, the sika deer really woke up slowly as Zhu Xuan said, shaking his head, standing up and running away.

"You, if you are always so kind, you will never get a good prey." Zhu Xuan teased with a smile.

"It doesn't matter what that is." Wu said with a big grin, and said, "I just need to meet Zhuxuan every day like I do now."

For a moment, Zhu Xuan's face turned a little hot.

"What happened then?"

"Later, life was so peaceful. From time to time, I would go up the mountain and chat with me. Although the more I got along, the more he doubted my identity, but probably I was too upright, and he never did. Asked who I really was. Slowly, as time went on, there were about a year or two. The relationship between me and my sister was getting better and better, and even more friends. We not only met on the mountain, but also I will go to the market together, go shopping, and even once I went to his house and met his father. "

Zhu Xuan sighed, "I always thought that life would go on like this without any change. I like him and I know he likes me too. Until one day ... he came to tell me suddenly that his My father arranged for him to be a blind date. If nothing else, he will get married in the second half of the year. "

"How come ..." Su Xiao muttered.

"I'm not a human. I'm always used to a settled life. I'm used to everything around me. It never changes, and I never think that gender will be a problem. I always forget that he is a human, and humans want to reproduce. At this point, Zhu Xuan lowered his eyes. "He is 23 years old, and his father found him a girl who is right in the door. I heard that girl had never even seen him before and was forced by her family. I married him. I tried to persuade my father, but he was kicked out by his thunder. I also tried various methods, but all failed. "

"Then I started to realize that it is impossible for me and him to be together. There are too many barriers between us, and even if all barriers are left aside, my life is much longer than him. So I see As he marries another girl, marries, and then has a child. I started to feel that such a good day, I watched him live a good life. His wife is very kind and can take good care of his family. He started Part-time, he rarely came to hunt in the mountains again. But there were once or twice a month, he would come to Diecui Mountain, pretending to be hunting, actually came to see me. "

"In the water! In the water! Hurry up, don't let it run away!"

"Where and where?" I shouted. "How can I not see?"

"Right, right to your arm!" Zhu Xuan jumped on the shore, pointing at the water on the right, "just right there!"

"Wait, I see it!" Aunt's gaze locked on the water, a hard, tightly grasping a fish with both hands, throwing it up with force, "I caught you!"

"Awesome!" Zhu Xuan applauded happily, picked up the big fish, and threw it into a bamboo basket aside. "It took a lot of effort. I almost let it run away."

"Rare." I smiled and walked up from the water. He looked at Zhu Xuan and hesitated for a while before slowly speaking.

"Azhu."

"Huh?" Zhu Xuan sat on the stone, raised his head and smiled. "What happened?"

"Why have you never grown old?" I asked Zhu Xuan looking at Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan's smile narrowed, and he looked at Xiang Mi with a complex expression, silent without speaking.

Today, the thirty-year-old uncle is sitting side by side with him, but Zhuxuan still looks like a teenager.

"Azhu, aren't you human?"

The kind of temptation in Tong's tone made Zhu Xuan unfamiliar, and he frowned, not knowing what he meant.

"Do you know ..." I rubbed my hands and said hesitantly, "Some things have been wrong recently. Do you remember, I told you a long time ago that someone in the village died after going up the mountain? Now again. "

Zhu Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

"This time is more scary than before. Not only the people who went up the mountain, but also someone who was in the village and was towed away. When it was spotted, there was only one missing skeleton. Longning Temple The monk said that this is not a beast, but the big monster that was previously sealed here was released, so he killed everyone everywhere ... "

"And do you think I'm the evil monster?" Zhu Xuan lowered his head and whispered.

"What? Of course not!" I said with an incredible expression. "How can you think of me like that?"

"Isn't it!" Zhu Xuan raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of anger, "You don't often come here for several months, and live in your own little hut. It's hard for you to come today After a trip, just to tell me this? Who asked you to come? Is it your wife or your village chief? In order for you to ask if I am the big monster who cannibalize? "
