animal ears

? When we returned to the cave, Norman was already inside. He was sitting on the side without saying a word, with his legs crossed and his arms folded.

"Norman?" Cole tried to call out.

No response.

Are you angry?

Cole sighed and glanced at Norman, but Norman still didn't move, so Cole had to let him go.

After carefully handling the snake's internal organs and snake skin, a bonfire was built and the meat was roasted. Norman hadn't gotten up yet.

At this time, Tyson, who had been observing Cole, spoke. He looked around and asked, "Have you lived here all these years?"

Nodding, Cole fiddled with the bonfire with wood, and the dry wood made a crackling sound, he nodded: "This is the best shelter nearby, the waterfall in front of the door can cover up our smell, it is not easy for wild animals to find us, I tell you Man discovered this place when he was a child and has lived there ever since.”

Through the quiet firelight, Tyson looked at Cole's peaceful profile, and suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

If it wasn't for me, the people in the village wouldn't have misunderstood Cole and kicked him out. Although what he said just now was an understatement, how could he not know that life must be very difficult to live in the forest? Yes, like today's skull viper, more dangerous beasts are almost everywhere in the forest, and if you don't pay attention, you may lose your life.

"Today, Cole is very brave." Tyson said in a low voice, sitting next to Cole.

"Huh?" Cole turned his head and looked at the other party.

Tyson smiled, but didn't look back. He said, "Few females dare to fight with wild beasts, let alone beheading their prey, but you did it."

Curving the corner of his mouth shallowly, Cole turned his head and continued to look at the bonfire, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "You said that, because if you want to live here, if you are too weak, you will be eaten." He picked some wood, and the forest was very cold at night, and he didn't want Norman, who was sleeping, to catch a cold.

Hearing these words, Tyson felt even more uncomfortable, so he said to Cole again: "Come back with me."

After thinking about it, Cole said, "No."

"Why not?" Tyson couldn't help but raise his voice, then glanced at Norman next to him, and said quietly, "Is... because of Norman?"

Cole shook his head.

"Is it because of the people in the village?" Tyson approached and said firmly, "It's okay, I won't let them hurt you again."

Facing Tyson who was suddenly excited, Cole continued to shake his head calmly, and smiled reassuringly: "No, Tyson, you misunderstood." Then lowered his eyelids, Cole said, "I am here, with my own Think about it, to be honest..." Cole's eyes suddenly turned to Norman, then he lowered his head slightly, and said softly, "If you really want to take someone away, I only hope you take Norman back."

"What?" Tyson was surprised.

With a wry smile, Cole continued: "Actually, it was me, not Norman, who the people in the village wanted to drive away. I made him unable to return home. He stayed with me in this dark and damp forest. I also failed to take good care of him, and let him suffer a lot from me since he was a child... Now that you find us, I hope you can take Norman home and let him live a stable life, so I can feel at ease."

Cole's heart was actually full of bitterness when he said this, but he knew that such a moment would come sooner or later.

Norman would leave sooner or later, so it was a good choice for Tyson to take him back to the village.

Besides, Tyson is Norman's older brother.

"So what about you?" After a long silence, Tyson finally asked.

Staring at the bonfire, Cole thought for a moment and said softly, "I don't know yet, but... I should go to the east to have a look."

After Norman left, he would also leave this forest. He didn't know where he was going, but Cole remembered that the "similar" Sarah he met when he was a child once said that the Beast Ears were in the east. The villages of the Ear tribe, and the clansmen.

The only place I can go... is there, right?

Throat is very bitter.

"To the East?"

Tyson was puzzled and wanted to continue asking, but Cole changed the subject. Cole smiled and said, "By the way, how are you doing now?"

When asked about himself, Tyson froze for a moment, then closed his eyes and smiled lightly, shaking his head and said, "It's nothing special, it's still the same as before."

"...haven't gotten married yet?"

"Why do you ask this?" Tyson squinted over and looked at Cole seriously.

Cole felt his heart tremble, lowered his head, and said softly: "It's nothing, I just think Tyson should start a family by now, after all Tyson is the best orc in the village."

In his previous life, even the next-door tribe had females who adored him. If it wasn't for his constant entanglement, he might have already had a partner. In this life, without him, Tyson should have started a family long ago.

Seeing Cole bowing his head and looking thoughtful, Tyson said bluntly: "I don't have a family."

not yet?

Cole looked up.

"Because I have someone I like." Tyson looked at Cole and said seriously.

"Huh?" Cole raised his head, was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes and smiled, "Yeah, there should be."

Ah, by the way, in the previous life, that female also appeared at this time, right?

The female Tyson courted.

Yes, Tyson should have someone he likes.

It's the same as in my previous life.

With a slight sigh, Cole turned his head and looked carefully at the person he once liked very much. He never thought that he could have such a peaceful conversation with Tyson. Finally be so calm to yourself.

From this point of view, giving up is really great.

Then his eyes fell on his left eye, which was wearing a blindfold. Cole couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and then said to himself, "The wound...is already healed." But soon he realized that he was abrupt, Immediately withdrew his hand, and smiled awkwardly, "It really scared me to see you covered in blood that night."

Hearing this, Tyson suddenly closed his eyes helplessly, and said: "When I came back to see you at that time, I didn't expect it to be the last time. I regret it."

Ambiguous voice.

"Tyson?"

Shen Mei smiled, Tyson looked outside into the night sky, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Cole's head, and said, "I should go."

"Let's go? Now? Let's go tomorrow, the forest at night is very dangerous..."

"No, I'd better go." Tyson said with a soft smile, turned his head and glanced at the orc who had been motionless in the cave, and then turned his gaze to Cole, "I've already remembered the way to come here. I will come again, as for Norman... I think it's better for you to talk to him first."

"I see." Cole nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Tyson turned his head and smiled lightly, and his figure disappeared into the night.

Turning around and walking back to the cave, Cole continued to add some wood to the campfire, enough to burn all night, and then lay down to rest.

I'm really tired today.

However, after Cole fell asleep, another person opened his eyes.

Stretching out his hand and quietly taking Cole into his arms, Norman stared at Cole's thin face, feeling various feelings in his heart. After an unknown amount of time, he finally pressed a soft kiss on Cole's forehead, and then kissed Cole on his forehead. He whispered softly in his ear: "Cole, from now on, no matter where you go, I will be by your side. I am willing to spend my whole life by your side, even if you don't like me now."

The eyes are tender and bitter.

After speaking, Norman hugged Cole tightly.

At the same time, another mark of courtship appeared on Cole's head, and soon, this new mark slowly penetrated into the skin, and finally disappeared, while an identical mark appeared on the orc's chest. trace.

That is, the imprint of giving one's life to the other party....

However, at this moment, a tear slowly seeped from the corner of Cole's eye. ?
