Autobiography of a beast

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh. When I return to the north, I have to leave Kyoto and go far away from home.

Before leaving, it is inevitable that there will be some exhortations and worries from all parties.My siblings were still young when I left last time, but this time they are all grown up. They can talk and make trouble, and they hold my hand reluctantly. They didn't let me go until I promised to go home to visit them again during the Chinese New Year.

Looking at the gray temples of my parents but still worrying about me, I always feel that I am a completely unfilial son.But thinking about the battle in the north again, if the defense is not good enough and the peace of being broken by someone will disappear, so he reluctantly got on the horse and forced himself to drive the horse forward without looking back.

Everything is worth it, may the gold and iron horse ahead, this side of the years will be peaceful.

I got the order and started the journey. I was eager to run around day and night, and finally arrived at the camp three months later.

As soon as I got off the horse, the generals from all sides wanted to welcome me in order to come over, and my brother couldn't wait to endure anxiety and joy to salute me and then raised his hand and patted me.

...My brother's hands are really strong...

Fortunately, I have not neglected to practice kung fu in Beijing for several years, otherwise I would not have to go to the battlefield after this palm.

At the welcome banquet, I probably had some understanding of the current war.In fact, it is not as bad as written in the battle report, but it is not easy to solve.

After a few years of silence, they couldn't hold back and always wanted to make a fool of themselves and tease us.We are very familiar with their approach, but this group of guards used some means, did not try their best but controlled the expansion of the war and successfully forced away the new general, which gave me a chance to return to here.

Knowing the ins and outs, I toasted three cups one by one to everyone present.It's hard for them to plan this way for me, but I'm used to being calm in front of them, and I can't say anything nasty, so I can only pour wine and drink to express my emotion.

Had a great time drinking that night.But at the moment of the war, everyone is thinking that this round has not crossed the line.After receiving the wind, after discussing the countermeasures overnight, he rushed to rest for a while before rushing to the battlefield.

Although I have been away for so long, I am not unfamiliar with handling military affairs and fighting the enemy.Dispelling those small thoughts, we fought with all our strength and won without any suspense.

The news of the victory quickly spread back to Kyoto, and the emperor didn't dare to transfer me away easily for a while.In this way, after five years of absence, I successfully "settled" here again.

This battle didn't last long, and everything was settled in more than half a month.On the first day after leaving the battlefield, I slept in the dark without taking a shower. I haven’t stretched my muscles so happily for a long time... It wasn’t until the evening of the second day that I rubbed my aching bones before waking up to change clothes and take a shower.

After I finished packing, the sky was getting dark. I looked at the dark sky outside the tent, and then I went slowly to the shop I used to go to, bought a bag of mung bean cakes, and walked slowly along the path that I have walked countless times. Mountain.

Five years is actually not too short for me, but for this mountain forest, it is just a blink of a thousand years.It is still so lush and quiet, just like when I left.

Walking on the familiar road, I feel kindness in my heart.I don't know what happened to the deer.Has it been swallowed by other big guys?Probably not, after all, it is not an ordinary beast after all, how could it be easily captured...

I thought it would be a warm and joyful reunion, but it wasn't until I approached Poe, where I used to rest and chat, that I noticed the tension in the air.Although we haven't seen anyone, those of us who have been on the battlefield have an extremely accurate intuition about this kind of dangerous aura.I tensed up immediately, slowed down and moved forward silently.

Before approaching the slope, I glanced cautiously.Well, good, the deer is not here...huh?etc!Why is there someone?not good!When I realized something was wrong, an arrow had already shot towards the person sitting in front of the break.I didn't have time to react, but fortunately, that person must have some kung fu. Although he was rubbed by the point of the arrow, he didn't hurt his life.

It was quite interesting to watch the person change his expression for several rounds in annoyance, atmosphere, and then making up his mind.But the current situation does not allow me to spare some time to come out and appreciate it, thinking that it is probably the secret work from the north that slipped in.

Just as I was thinking about it, several arrows flew out of the dark place one after another. I didn't have time to think about it, so I reflexively rushed out to save people.Fortunately, the people lying in ambush in the dark had no intention of stalking. I dragged the brother who was wandering in the forest in the middle of the night to avoid a few arrows, wounded several people, and rushed out of the encirclement. I dragged him all the way to the river bank.

The rapid running made me stop and take a few deep breaths to calm down.

Um?There seems to be a faint breath, like the freshness of forest trees.It's something I've often smelled on fawns before.An animal, wandering in the forest all day long, it is inevitable to be contaminated with civility, but the man in front of him...

I squinted my eyes suspiciously and looked at the person in front of me who was looking at me in surprise.The expression on his face...was filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence, and also with a trace of strange look, which made me confused for a while, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

After being stared at by him for a while, I really couldn't bear the weird atmosphere, so I coughed a little deliberately as a reminder.The other party seemed to have just come back to his senses, and he stumbled and opened his mouth:

"Thank you, brother." Well, it's a normal opening.

"You're welcome, just by the way." I couldn't help being polite.

"Brother, why did you enter this mountain forest so late? After dark, it's not safe here. There are man-eating tigers wandering around in this forest..." Although the other little brother kindly reminded him.However, such a reminder method is really a bit unbearable...

"Looking for... looking for someone." I also rarely got stuck because I didn't know how to describe the guy I was looking for.After thinking for a while, I decided to tell the truth, perhaps because of the familiar smell, my intuition told me that the person in front of me was not in danger.Thinking of the smell... I couldn't help raising my eyes to take a closer look at the person in front of me.

He seemed a little angry, but we hadn't spoken a few words, and I didn't know why he was angry, so I was a little dizzy.He raised his right foot in displeasure and slammed the ground impatiently...

Looking at this guy's movements, I was shocked. This movement...why is it so like a deer...

Although it is too shocking to associate a person with a deer, these two guys... are too similar... That's right!The taste just now!

Yes, he is indeed not an ordinary deer!

In an instant, I felt that I had been deceived a ton in my heart, but somehow there was a tinge of joy in addition to my heartbreak.It turns out that this guy can transform into a human form!I didn't seem to think about the irrationality at all, I was just happy with the people I saw.When I raised my eyes again, I already had some thoughts in my heart, I squinted my eyes again, and there was a hint of teasing in my heart:

"It's so late, why is this little brother still wandering in the forest?"

"I'll just live here!" Yo, with a strong tone, live here?Yes, you are supposed to live here.

"Oh, I live here, so I'll ask my brother about it. Have you ever seen a snow-white deer with dark yellow patterns and a red tail?"

"What are you doing asking about this..."

"It's nothing. My friend for many years. I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him very much." Obviously he has seen through his identity, but it is very interesting to see him talking to me solemnly and hiding his thoughts. smiled.

"Ahem, I've lived here for a long time, but I haven't seen the handsome deer that my brother mentioned. I'm afraid I will disappoint my brother."

"Well... it's not disappointing. The deer is a little bit arrogant, and not everyone can see it. It's normal if you haven't seen it. If you don't see it today, I'll come back tomorrow. I can see it again. " Said Sui on his mouth grandly to the person in front of him, but there was another muttering in his heart.You haven't seen it, but I have found the deer I was looking for, oh no, maybe I should have found the person I was looking for.This guy is really good at hiding!

"Little brother, you have to be more careful today. I think those people came for you just now, and I'm afraid there will be others behind."

I thought about the group of people just now, and I instinctively felt that this matter might not be over yet, so the guy in front of me was taking it lightly, and couldn't help but remind him sincerely.

"Thank you brother for your concern, and you will be careful in the future."

Hiss~ It's strange to say that even though this is the first time I've seen him tonight, I seem to be able to see through his every move.Putting on the current state should be a promise without taking it to heart...

But that's all, there will be a chance to talk about it later.

Looking at the sky that had completely darkened due to this delay, he had to bid farewell to the other party and rush back to the army.I just came back, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with.But I can't help but want to tease him, looking at the bruise on his face, although it's just a little bit of skin damage, but I can't bear to look at it, so I can't help but soften my tone:

"Then I'll go back first. After all, it's getting dark and the mountains are dangerous. Just hearing about the big tiger is a little scary. By the way, you have a face, go back and get your pile of herbs. Although the weather in the mountains is cool, the wound will not worsen. But it’s not a good thing to leave a scar and disfigure.”

After I finished speaking, I turned around and went down the mountain. Seeing his horrified expression of finally realizing something, I couldn't help chuckling when I turned around.

"Heh, this guy..." I'll deal with you later.

After a quick meeting, they rushed back.On the way back, I thought about the assassination just now for a long time.It doesn't look like an enemy country's secret work, but more like people from our side, and the arrow...

Could it be Kyoto?But there is no reason... Kyoto, Kyoto, Kyoto... Your Majesty, Longevity, Divine Beast? !I was taken aback by a sudden whim. Indeed, there are rumors in Beijing that there are divine beasts left in the northern land, and eating them can avoid life and death.Could it be...

This thought made me flustered for no reason.I thought it would be better to send someone to find out in which direction the people sent from Kyoto went.
