Chapter 257: Turning against the body?
The night outside the house was getting darker, and the hazy moon was hanging high in the sky, like a silver plate covered by a veil, emitting a soft and cold glow. The bright moonlight shone through the thin clouds, casting a light silver gauze over the desolate ruins, and also blurring the gluttonous corpse beast standing on the ruins.
Looking at the window of the house where someone lived in the distance below, the dark green eyes of the Taotie corpse beast became deeper and deeper like the sea, as if hiding thousands of thoughts.
It stood there for a while, then finally turned around and jumped up, running along the lonely long street.
On the other side, the man pushed open the half-open door and walked inside quietly.
The room was as dark as ink, as if covered by a thick black curtain, making people feel endlessly depressed and dull. But the man seemed to be able to see in the dark, avoiding all the furnishings in the room and walking straight to the bed.
Rong Yi quietly looked at the young man who was "soundly sleeping" on the bed, and involuntarily sat down slowly on the edge of the bed. He stretched out his hand carefully, as if he wanted to touch the young man's cheek, but at the moment when his hand was about to touch it, he paused abruptly.
After getting used to the dimness in the room, the outline of the person in front of him became clearer and clearer. The man couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Zuo Xiao's eyes were wet with moisture.
After being stunned for a moment, Rong Yi felt a sudden pain in his heart. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the young man's eyes, and his fingertips gently stroked Zuo Xiao's face.
Rong Yi just stared at the young man quietly. He knew that Zuo Xiao was not here at this moment, but was on the body of the Taotie corpse beast, or in the body of some other species.
Whenever Zuo Xiao's soul left, he would silently wait beside the young man. Only at this moment did he dare to get so close to the young man.
After wiping away the tears from Zuo Xiao's eyes, Rong Yi suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and withdrew his hand, then squatted down on the cold floor beside the bed. His eyes never left the young man from beginning to end, and complex emotions were intertwined in those deep and dark eyes, and his eyes were hot and deep.
That man deserves to die! How dare he make his Master Zuo Xiao so sad! He simply doesn't know what's good for him!
……
It was Yifeng's turn to stand guard tonight. He patrolled around the house and found no hidden dangers, so he returned to the bonfire in front of the door and sat cross-legged.
The blazing bonfire was built by He Ci because he was afraid that the people who were keeping watch would feel cold in the wind.
On winter nights, the cold wind howled, blowing through the silent houses and closed doors and windows, making bursts of creepy cries.
Yifeng sat by the campfire, the orange-red flames reflected a crimson on his cheeks. He took out the weapon that He Ci had given him before returning to the house and continued to admire it. It was a pair of short swords that looked like the crescent moon in the night sky, emitting a heart-pounding chill.
The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, but extremely sharp, as if it could easily cut through steel. The blade shone with a cold light, like the silver light cast by a cold moon, which made people shudder. It was engraved with exquisite patterns, and the handle was inlaid with dazzling emerald gems, which made it look particularly luxurious and cold.
Holding the pair of daggers in the hands, the heavy texture gave people an incomparable feeling of solidity. Yifeng gripped the hilts tightly and gestured twice in the air, and felt that the pair of crescent-shaped double swords were very suitable for him.
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He couldn't put it down and started to play with it. He just wanted to find a few enemies right away to try out his new weapon.
Just as he was thinking this, a rustling sound suddenly came from the dense bushes connecting to the back mountain not far away. This unusual movement made Yifeng alert immediately. His eyebrows and eyes were stern, and he stood up sharply, holding the weapon in his hand tightly with his backhand, with a vigilant posture before a battle.
He was still wondering where to find zombies or enemies to test his weapons in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect that one would be delivered to his door so soon. Just as he was secretly rejoicing at such a coincidence, the sound in the bushes became clearer and closer.
Yifeng’s eyes were fixed on the bushes. He was ready for battle, but he never expected that the person jumping out from the bushes was... Shouchen?
The moment he saw the opponent clearly, Yifeng forced himself to stop his attack and barely withdrew his move.
Shouchen looked at the blade in front of him, which was only an inch away from his throat. He opened his big, slightly innocent eyes and blinked at Yifeng in confusion.
Xiao Hei in his arms was also confused. How come their owner's friends turned against them and refused to acknowledge the body after they just went out for a stroll?
Shouchen also couldn't understand why the human friend in front of him was holding a knife against his vitals?
Did he do something wrong to make little brother Yifeng unhappy? A trace of grievance flashed in his eyes. Looking at the wild pheasant he and Xiaohei had hunted together, Shouchen hesitated for a second. Finally, he decided to reluctantly give up the prey in his hand and hand it to Yifeng, trying to use food to ease the unhappiness between the two parties.
"It's you guys..." After finding out it was our friendly forces, Yifeng quickly sheathed his sword with an embarrassed look on his face, "Sorry, I thought it was an enemy attack!"
He scratched his head embarrassedly, but saw that the zombie and the beast in front of him were still staring at him blankly. Yifeng realized belatedly at this moment that the zombie in front of him might not understand his apology?
Yifeng smiled awkwardly, and suddenly didn't know how to explain it.
Looking at the dead pheasant handed to him by Shouchen, Yifeng had no idea that the other party wanted to "give up love and seek peace", but simply thought that Shouchen wanted to give him the prey to eat.
He smiled politely and waved his hand, politely declining, "Well, I'm not hungry, and I'm not used to eating raw food. You should keep it for yourself, or give it to Sui Sui and Brother Kai."
Shouchen understood the words "not hungry" and the polite wave of the hand. Seeing that the other party rejected his request for peace, Shouchen felt even more aggrieved. He pursed his lips, and his pair of blood-red almond eyes gradually filled with crystal tears, which were swirling in his eye sockets.
As Shouchen felt more and more aggrieved, he looked like he was about to cry and looked pitiful.
When Yifeng saw this, he was confused for a moment and felt a little puzzled.
"What... is wrong with you?" he asked subconsciously, not knowing what was going on.
Was she scared by him? Or was she bullied outside? Yifeng was embarrassed.
Shouchen, who couldn't speak yet, just looked at Yifeng eagerly. He took a step towards the human boy and carefully handed the prey in his hand to Yifeng again.
After reading it, Yifeng had no choice but to accept it. He laughed dryly and said politely, "Thank you!"
Seeing that he finally accepted his prey, Shouchen's face, which was about to cry, instantly relaxed. He grinned and revealed a smile as brilliant as a blooming spring flower.
Yi Feng saw his expression change so quickly, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He couldn't help but start to think about what the other party meant by forcing the prey on him? And he couldn't refuse it?
