animal ears

Chapter 30 The Covenant

? The first to hear the news that the two are going back is naturally Ley.

Ley, who had the cheek to drop by for a meal, was stunned for a while when he heard that the two wanted to go back to the village, then looked at the two thoughtfully, especially Cole, and suddenly burst out laughing, shrugging his shoulders Said: "Of course, your home is in the village. I don't think there is anything that can stop you from going home. Why do you have to make it so serious?" After laughing, he thought about it calmly, and said , "But you two have disappeared for so many years, it's not good to go back suddenly, otherwise I will tell Tyson today, get ready, and come tomorrow to pick you up together."

"That's fine, I'm sorry to trouble you." Cole smiled and thanked.

"You don't have to thank me, you guys take advantage of today to pack your things, and I'll come over early tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, Ley glanced at Cole again, grinned suddenly and said, "By the way, Cole, my father said that there are There is a cliff with good healing herbs on it, but I haven't found it, can you take me to find it?"

"Eh?"

"It's purple leaf grass. Last time I said I would bring it to you, but when I went back, I found that it was gone at home, hehe." Lai narrowed his eyes, hugged his head and said, "I have to trouble you."

Norman was unhappy, with a gloomy face, and said, "I'll go with you."

"What a stingy orc." Rolling his eyes, Ley held his chin and frowned and said, "Is Cole food? Watch so closely, be careful that Cole will throw you away someday."

Hearing this, Norman raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened like an annoyed cat, staring closely at the unhurried fox eyes opposite him.

Seeing this, Cole could only smile wryly, looked at the two of them, and suggested, "I know where the purple leaf grass is, why don't we go together?"

"Well, listen to you." Ley patted his clothes, stood up, said with a smile, and walked out first.

But Norman didn't say a word, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Cole's wrist, preventing him from getting too close to Ley, lest the wicked Ley teach him badly!

Cole couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling, Norman's stingy appearance is completely like a cat protecting food.

But that's what makes Norman so cute.

When I came to the place where the purple leaf grass grew, it was a steep cliff.In the crevices of the rocks under the cliff, there is a kind of blue-purple broad-leaved plant called purple-leaf grass. Cole knows that this is a good medicine for wounds. The rhizome of purple leaves can help heal wounds quickly. He used to I went to pick a lot.

Of course Norman would not let Cole go down to collect them right now, and he rushed down without saying a word, with skillful movements and a strong figure.

But Ley didn't go down.

After Norman left, Ley suddenly asked Cole, "Why do you want to go back all of a sudden?"

After a daze, Cole turned back, looked at Ley, lowered his eyelids, and said softly, "Because it's too dangerous here... Both Norman and I want to live a peaceful and stable life."

"Really?" Ley couldn't deny it, turned his head away from Cole, and asked.

Nodding, Cole responded, "Yes."

The sound was inaudible.

However, after a while, suddenly, Ley grabbed Cole's wrist and lifted it vigorously. All of a sudden, the veins on the arm were exposed. Cole was frightened, and quickly shook off Ley's wrist. hand, and quickly covered his arm.

"What's that?" Ley asked, frowning.

"Yes..." Cole paused and turned around, "It's the bruise I accidentally injured last time..."

The wind on the edge of the cliff whizzed past their ears, the two were silent, Ley frowned and stared at Cole, and Cole looked flustered, and began to change the subject: "Then, that...why hasn't Norman come up for so long? ?” In the end, I will walk over to have a look.

"You're going to die." Suddenly, Ley said softly.

Cole's body froze, he turned his head quietly, swallowed, and forced a smile: "Huh? What did you say?"

However, Ley took two steps forward and looked up at the clear blue sky. After a while, he closed his eyes and said quietly, "I found out when I saw Norman last time."

Cole didn't speak.

"You know, I'm very sensitive to smells, and I smell a little red fruit on his body."

Hearing the word "red fruit", Cole couldn't help clenching his fists, but he still tried to keep his face as calm as possible.

Turning around, he glanced at Cole lightly, and Ley continued: "Do you know that orcs will eat red fruit to suppress their violent animal nature, but they will never eat too much, because red fruit is very corrosive. Not only will it not be suppressed, but it will destroy the brains of the orcs. At the least, the brain will be damaged and they will become stupid, and at worst... they will become an irrational bloodthirsty beast. They will attack their own family members, friends, even the most beloved."

Speaking of this, Ley picked up the dead leaves on the ground, frowned, and continued: "So I went to your house, but found that the person who ate the red fruit was not him."

After all, he turned his head and stared at Cole beside him.

Cole knew, and Rye probably guessed what was going on.

"Lai..."

"Cole." Ley interrupted Cole, turned around silently, and asked again, "Why did you go back?"

Continue to be silent.

"You know, when you can no longer control your animal nature, or your secret is discovered by the people in the village...they will kill you, and even Norman can't keep you."

Looking fixedly at Ley who was questioning, Cole lowered his eyes and still covered his arms. After a long time, he said quietly, "I just... don't want him to know."

"Sooner or later he will know."

"Before then, I will leave." Cole smiled, his eyes filled with bitterness, "So please...don't tell him."

"Cole..."

After a long pause, Cole gradually stepped forward. When he was about to reach the edge of the cliff, he turned his head and said nothing. Humble begging, and that thin figure is like the wind blowing in the wilderness, it will disappear anytime and anywhere.

Then, he greeted the figure who came to pick him up.

"Norman." Calling that man's name, although his heart was full of sadness, at this moment, his face was smiling.

Then, as a matter of course, he was tightly grabbed by that petty orc.

Norman's hand was big and warm, and he held it like this, as if he would never lose his way.

If possible, I really hope he never lets go of himself.

However, the future is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the future. He dare not guess people's hearts. It's not that he doesn't believe in Norman. It's just that he was the one who was wrong at the beginning. Because he was attached to this warmth, he let it go Lie, because he couldn't give up this little bit of happiness, made him feel guilty and suffered even more.

The only warmth he can enjoy is now.

Clutching Norman's hand behind his back, Cole raised his head, looked at Norman who turned his head back slightly, and smiled softly.

The wind gently blows the long brown hair, and under the sun, it exudes a faint golden light.

At this moment, Norman was stunned.

The most beautiful scene in the world is when the person you love smiles at you, as if everything has disappeared, only you and him, and the ten fingers that maintain the body temperature of the two are left tightly. , entangled together.

Those gentle eyes are my home.

And this person in front of him is his whole life.

At this moment, Norman really felt so.

And Ley quietly watched the scene in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to keep silent.

He understood what Cole meant.

But...how can you bear it?

In fact, from the very beginning when he noticed the red fruit smell on Cole's body, he guessed that something was wrong. He was still shocked until he saw the beast blood gradually eroding on his arm. feel bad.

Yes, he knew very well that Cole was irretrievable.

Therefore, as a friend, all he can do is keep silent, and maybe give the two of them some time, even if this time is only a handful.

But how could he bear it?

After sending Ley away, Cole and Norman were left in the cave. Seeing that it was still early, the two packed up their things a little, and decided to only take away those light and portable items, while those heavy ones, Norman He said that he could do it again when he went back, so he didn't bring it with him.

"Well, just go back and make a new one." Cole nodded and said softly.

While the two of them were packing up, the little wolf lying on the animal hide opened his eyes and stared at the busy Cole. He suddenly struggled to stand up, limped to Cole's feet, and bit his teeth lightly. He grabbed Cole's shoes and pulled them back, trying to get Cole's attention.

"What's the matter, Palanch?" Cole realized that his shoe was bitten, so he knelt down and picked up the little wolf, rubbing his head gently.

The little wolf wagged his tail, opened his mouth but made no sound.

Cole smiled helplessly, pinched the little wolf's soft paw and said, "I don't have time to play with you now, we have to pack up and move tomorrow."

Hearing this, the little wolf moved even more vigorously, desperately scratching Cole with his paws.

At the moment, Cole had no choice but to stop what he was doing to coax the little wolf. At this time, Norman entered the room. Seeing the little wolf acting like a baby, he gave him a cold look without saying a word, which made the little wolf tremble all over, and his ears and tail drooped immediately. When I got down, I had to stay on the ground and stay motionless.

Patting his head, Cole said, "Be good and rest for a while, I'll play with you later."

Wagging his tail, the little wolf lay on the ground, staring at Cole's busy figure.

In the evening, Palanch did not eat.

This made Cole a little worried, so he broke the meat into very fine pieces and fed it to Palanch's mouth, but Palanch still didn't open his mouth, and his whole body was limp, with drooping ears, dim eyes, and a listless look look like.

"Norman, do you think Palanch is sick?" Cole asked anxiously, touching Palanch's head.

Norman glanced at the little wolf in Cole's arms, and said coldly, "Don't worry, he's fine."

Gently smoothing the little wolf's hair with his fingers, Cole's tone was still worried, and he said to himself: "Then why don't you eat?" Then he lowered his head and said to the little wolf, "You have to eat, it's hard to hurt if you don't eat. Okay, come on, let me feed you, be good, just eat a little."

But the little wolf just licked Cole's hand and didn't eat anything.

In the end, Cole had to give up. After Palanch fell asleep, he went to sit by the campfire, and Norman took him into his arms: "I'm going back tomorrow, are you nervous?"

Shaking his head slightly, Cole looked at the flames in front of him and snuggled into Norman's arms.

"Don't worry, I will protect you, I swore, no one can hurt you," Norman said.

"Well, I trust Norman." Cole looked up, looked at Norman's smiling side face, and asked, "Is Norman looking forward to going back?"

"Yes." Nodding without hesitation, his eyebrows raised uncontrollably, Norman said happily, "After I go back, I will take you to the Fire Dance Festival."

"Fire Dance Festival?"

"It's almost the end of the day," Norman grinned, rubbed his nose, leaped over to wrap around Cole like a child, his eyes glowed, and kissed Cole's ear, "Didn't you always want to be a child when you were young?" Did you go? This time, I will take you there."

"You still remember?" Wei Wei was surprised.

"How could I forget!" He pouted displeasedly, and pinched Cole's nose in revenge, "I've wanted to take you there since a long time ago."

Touched, and a little sobbing, after a long time, he finally smiled helplessly: "...you."

"Let's go together, Cole." He urged shyly, with sincere eyes.

And myself, there is no reason to refuse.

"what."

Clasping hands together, even my heart trembled.

The person I love, forgive my selfishness, please allow me to be a little bit happier, because I don't have the courage to refuse such a beautiful request... Even though I already know the ending, I still can't give up.

That night, his cheeks were wet with tears again.
