Tao Le sat in front of the tent, staring at the bonfire that had just risen in a daze. It has been twenty days since he came out of Luoyun Town. Leaving home is always sad, let alone leaving his father who has always been dependent on him. After the little wolf ran away, the heavy rain for five days and five nights stopped, and the red clouds all over the sky gradually dissipated. From time to time, there would be eerie howls in the ghost forest, adding to the already terrifying forest. According to new rumors, people in the small town no longer take the path by the forest.
I still remember my father's sad eyes when I drove away from home. Uncle Fang didn't come to see him off. He didn't blame Uncle Fang. He knew that Uncle Fang lost his favorite wife during the farewell, so he didn't see him off anymore. . The heavy heart gradually faded away from home, but the feeling of homesickness reappeared. Being physically unable to practice martial arts by nature, Tao Le liked to bury in the pile of books since he was a child, but no one could inherit his father's superb martial arts skills.
There are only two types of people in the Flame Empire: warriors and clerks. There are more than 90% of the warriors in the country, and the rest are clerks, and 80% of these clerks are both civil and military. Therefore, in the Flame Empire, there are not many real civil servants. And Tao Le is one of them.
"What are you thinking about?" The sudden voice interrupted Tao Le's reverie, and a lively fish appeared in front of Tao Le's eyes.
"It's been so long since you came back?" Tao Le smiled, and a boy with short bright silver hair came out from behind him.
"Hey, there are a lot of fish in the river over there, so you can play more if the water is not cold." The boy scratched his head embarrassedly.
"It's just spring. Although the water is not cold, it still has the chill of winter. Of course it's okay to play, just be careful if you catch a cold." Tao Le said kindly.
"Understood, master." The boy blinked playfully, and deliberately called out loudly, master.
Tao Le was amused by his mischievous appearance, shook his head and ignored him, and read the book on his own.
"You don't want to know whether reading is good all day long? I'm so bored by myself! Why don't you talk to me?" The boy looked at Tao Le pitifully with his eyes full of resentment.
Tao Le's depressed mood miraculously improved under the kid's gag, "Then did you know all the characters I taught you yesterday?"
"I know it, I know it, do you want to teach me something new?" As soon as the boy heard Tao Le test him, he moved to Tao Le's side happily, and he was very obedient.
"You memorize characters much faster than when I started learning characters. You have almost memorized commonly used characters in about ten days. You can get out of the car tomorrow and read! If you don't know me, I will tell you. You." Tao Le liked this clever student very much.
"Oh, it's finished so soon? I thought it would take a long time!!" Seeing that he had nothing to learn, the boy lowered his head and went to grill fish by the campfire.
The smile on Tao Le's face has never disappeared since the boy appeared. Meeting the boy can be said to be a kind of fate. When he just drove away from home for more than a day, he saw the boy lying on the side of the road and rescued him. It was found that he was hungry, and he was pitifully emaciated. Tao Le's natural sympathy made him pick up this little trouble. Who knew that as soon as this kid knew that Tao Le was going to work as a clerk in the military department, he would immediately stick to him and learn everything from him. Said that he has no father and no mother, and was lonely and helpless since he was a child. He had no chance to learn anything, so he could only wander around. Now he has finally met someone who is willing to take him in. Whatever he says, he will promise him with his body and do his best. repay him. Seeing that the boy was indeed pitiful and Tao Le's overflowing sympathy, the boy became Tao Le's companion.
"Okay, okay, the fish is grilled, you can eat it, you can eat it." The boy jumped to Tao Le with the grilled fish, and handed the hot fish to Tao Le.
"Boy, you know me" Tao Le looked at the fragrant fish in embarrassment.
"I know, I know." The kid interrupted Tao Le, "I know you don't eat meat, but this fish is not meat! The delicious fish is smooth and has no fishy smell, so you won't think it's killing animals. Come on. Really, just trust me! Try it and it won¡¯t hurt! If you don¡¯t like it, you don¡¯t have to eat it!¡±
Tao Le couldn't bear to brush off the boy's thoughts, took the fish and put it in his mouth, and took a small bite. The boy kept watching Tao Le's movements, and he refused to let him go.
The deliciousness and smoothness of the fish formed a strange stimulus in Tao Le's mouth, and Tao Le couldn't help but sighed, "There are really such delicious things!!"
"Haha, let me just say it! How can someone not like what I make? That is my unique secret recipe!" The boy said proudly.
Tao Le no longer held back, let go of the amount and ate, and wiped out a fish in a short time.? After eating Yu Tao Le felt very thirsty, he had never felt so thirsty before, "Boy, is there any water? Pass it to me."
"What's wrong? Is it too salty? No way! I was very careful not to put more!" The boy looked at Tao Le inexplicably, picked up a leather water bag from his feet and handed it to Tao Le.
Tao Le took the water, took a sip, and felt that the water had never tasted so delicious. Le is still thirsty.
"Master, what's the matter? Isn't it okay? Why are you so thirsty?" The kid approached Tao Le, looked at him and asked with concern.
Tao Le felt like his whole body was on fire, he was so hot and thirsty, "Little small" A hoarse voice came from Tao Le's vocal cords, and he was actually speechless.
"Master, what's the matter with you, don't scare the kid! Talk quickly!" The kid grabbed Tao Le's arm and kept shaking it, with increasing strength until he was shaking Tao Le dizzily. When he got down, Tao Le couldn't speak and couldn't stop him from moving. Gradually, as the boy shook, Tao Le became numb and lay down stiffly.
The kid let go of his hand at some point, "Hehe, master, do you feel okay?"
What Tao Le fans saw with dim eyes was the boy's innocent smiling face.
"Hey! I used this medicine for the first time, and I didn't control the amount properly. I was afraid that I added a lot more on purpose! It seems that the effect is not very good! I don't need it in the future." Holding a blue fruit in his hand, the boy shook it. Shake, shake, and throw it into the small river next to it.
"Youyouwhywhat?" Tao Le asked with all his strength.
The boy smiled very beautifully. He is not a handsome boy, but he is charming when he laughs, "Because you stole my toy!" He moved his face close to Tao Le's, and said with a smile: " Do you still remember the little wolf that you saved? That was my toy! But you saved it, so I had no more to play with, and you had to kill all of its clan before it came, you said , you made me spend so much effort, shouldn't you pay for it?"
Tao Le looked at the boy in pain, "Youyouyou killkill!"
"Yes, I killed it! Not only it, but all the wolves in the forest were killed by me!" The boy put his mouth on Tao Le's ear and said easily.
"You!" Tao Le wanted to sit up angrily, but the movements that were usually effortless at all, now became extravagant.
The kid slowly came behind Tao Le, stretched out his hands to hug Tao Le's head, stroked his short hair, which was the same bright silver short hair, "Tao Le! Don't you think we look alike? ? I thought it was no fun after killing those annoying wolves, but now I have an idea, can you give me some advice?"
Tao Le's eyes widened in an instant. He understood what the boy wanted to do, but he couldn't speak, so he could only stare.
"Since we are so similar, if I become you, I won't be discovered, right? Your bad personality is easy to pretend! I can make you the strongest person in this country or even the Western Continent! You just trust me, okay?" The kid said it very easily, and whispered close to Tao Le's ear, fearing that the loud voice would disturb Tao Le.
Tao Le opened his eyes wide in anger, the corners of his eyes were torn due to excessive force, and blood flowed to his chest in an instant.
"Hey! I'm still too soft-hearted. I can't bear to let you disappear like this. Don't worry, I won't hurt your father or that uncle Fang. They will all be proud of having such an outstanding son like me. Haha, Haha!! Don't you think it's very interesting?" The boy's innocent and cute smile was so terrifying at this moment.
