When the protagonists and villains become bamboo horses

Xie Shi was embarrassed by his laughter, but he refused to take back his vow.

He gritted his teeth, raised his arms to hug Yan Yu who was laughing wildly, and buried his face in his arms, his voice was milky and muffled: "Don't laugh!"

Because the two were so close, Yan Yu could smell the milky fragrance from each other's body with just a light breath.

It's a young child, he said with emotion.

Yan Yu hugged Xie Shi who suddenly rushed over to prevent him from falling off the bed.

In the soybean-sized candle, Yan Yu suddenly caught a glimpse of a red mark hidden under Xie Shi's collar.

He opened the collar with his fingers, and found that Xie Zhi was covered with wounds.At this time, the wound has been medicated, and only small red marks remain.

"What's going on?" Yan Yu asked, "Why do you have so many injuries?"

Xie Shi hugged Yan Yu tightly, pressed his face against Yan Yu's chest, and listened to the sound of his heartbeat. "For brother Xiu Ling, everything is worth it."

Afterwards, Xie Shi gave Yan Yu a complete account of the reason for the incident, saying that he was taking a shortcut and directly broke into the thornbush.

"Does it not hurt?" Yan Yu asked.

It is naturally painful for the body to break into the thorny bushes.The three-year-old Xie Shi nodded, but said in his mouth: "But I want to save time, find my parents as soon as possible, and let them protect brother Xiu Ling. If brother Xiu Ling dies because of me, I will feel sad and guilty for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Yan Yu gave a soft "tsk", with unclear emotions in his eyes, and hugged Xie Shi's small body even tighter in his hands.

The child he wants to kill but wants him to live is really...so stupid...

The villain in his arms is soft and clingy, making people just want to hug him tightly, not at all like the old enemy who hated him in the fire in the previous life.

Outside the window is the silence of night, above the head is the sky of twinkling stars, and inside the room is a pair of bamboo horses embracing each other.

……

A peaceful night passed.

The next day, Yan Yu woke up from the bed, and vaguely heard the clanging of weapons coming from the courtyard.

One of them was skilled and swift, and every time he swung his sword, there was a slight sound of piercing the air, like the chirping of forest birds.The other person seemed to be a novice, and his movements of swinging the sword were heavy and slow, and he fell to the ground from time to time.

The sound of his fall was light and soft, probably from a small child.

These are Yan Yu's judgments based on the voices he heard.

He got up and went out, came to the courtyard, and saw Xie Shi and his father practicing sword together.

What Xie Shi held in his hand was an unsharp metal long sword.This sword is too long and heavy for a three-year-old child.After practicing the sword all morning, Xie Shi was sweating profusely, his little face was flushed, obviously exhausted.

But his eyes were firm, and he refused to slack off. Even though his sword skills were unfamiliar, he still waved the long sword clumsily like the adults beside him.

Yan Yu stood at the door with her chest folded and watched quietly for a long time.

As the reincarnation of the son of god Xie Zhiwei, Xie Shi has shown amazing talent in swordsmanship at a young age.After only one morning of sword practice, he has mastered seven to eighty eight basic sword moves.

In the morning glow, the shattered hair on Xie Shi's forehead was wet, he clenched his teeth, and slashed horizontally, vertically, and upward with the long sword in his hand.The blade of the sword reflected silver light and shadow in the sunlight, as fast as lightning and flexible as a snake.

"Xiu Ling, are you awake? Come, eat breakfast. You are weak, don't be hungry." Mrs. Xie came out of the bedroom, saw that Yan Yu was awake, and enthusiastically invited him to the kitchen for breakfast.

After a while, Xie Shi and his father also entered the kitchen.

When Xie Shi saw Yan Yu, his eyes lit up, holding a long sword, he ran straight to him, and tied a beautiful sword flower.

"Brother Xiu Ling, look, I can use swords now." Xie Shi said proudly, "When I meet a monster in the future, I will help my brother fight it."

Yan Yu had an intuition: This kid will do what he says.He said last night that he wanted to protect Yan Yu, that was not empty talk.He started practicing swords this morning, trying to make himself stronger, so that he has the ability to protect others.

Looking at Xie Shi's face flushed with exhaustion, Yan Yu showed a gratified smile, and raised his hand to touch Xie Shi's head.

But the sense of crisis in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

The Xie Shi in front of him is the reincarnation of the god son Xie Zhiwei, he has become stronger now to protect him, what about after that?

When he awakens the memory of his previous life, will he remember the promise he made when he was young?

There are too many variables in this, Yan Yu doesn't want to gamble...

Time is like running water, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few years, the Xie family and his wife have been staying on the island, bringing Xie Shi by their side, but Yan Yu never found the right time.

Fortunately, Xie Shi became very close to him and regarded him as his dearest brother.

Seeing the child clinging to her and acting coquettishly, Yan Yu sighed inwardly.If Xie Shi wasn't the reincarnation of Xie Zhiwei, he wouldn't mind pampering Xie Shi like his younger brother.

Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.

During the period, Shen Yuanmin, who had been in seclusion all year round, went out to see Yan Yu once.

When he learned about Yan Yu's defeat of the Jindan Qi beast from the Xie family couple, instead of showing joy on his face, he reprimanded Yan Yu severely.

"You have such a little cultivation, yet you dare to fight with Jindan stage beasts!" Shen Yuanmin's eyes widened and he was furious, "Are you going to kill yourself?"

Knowing his father's temper, Yan Yu lowered his head and accepted criticism obediently.

Seeing his good attitude, Shen Yuanmin's voice became much gentler, with his old hand resting on his son's shoulder, he said persuasively: "Father knows that you, like Dad, have poor cultivation talent. It's not your fault, it's my father's incompetence. But in spiritual cultivation, talent is determined by God, you can’t force it.”

Yan Yu pursed his lips a few times, wanting to say that he had a high talent for cultivating magic, but he finally shut up and stood in front of Shen Yuanmin without saying a word.

"Don't listen to the saying that adversity stimulates potential, don't deliberately seek death. Father and mother are just a child like you. We all hope that you will be well and live this life in peace." Speaking of this, Shen Yuanmin clenched his hands into fists, A muffled cough sounded in his throat, "Ahem, cough——, Dad never compared you with the Xie family's children. Dad treats their family well, but he only hopes that they can help you more when they become prosperous in the future."

Hearing the sound, Yan Yu raised his head and saw that Shen Yuanmin had a lot of white hair on his head, like layers of snow had fallen.

Shen Yuanmin's cultivation aptitude is low, and he has stayed in the foundation building stage for many years.Ever since Yan Yu grew up to the age where he could take care of himself, he often practiced in closed doors, trying to break through the bottleneck and increase his lifespan.But the results were not satisfactory.

As time went by, his age was getting older and older, but his cultivation stagnated.Under the ebb and flow, Shen Yuanmin's appearance gradually aged, starting from middle age and gradually entering old age.

His white hair and skin became more and more wrinkled, and his body became weaker and weaker.

Shen Yuanmin had a vague premonition that if he couldn't break through the foundation-building stage next time in seclusion, he might meet the child's mother in the underworld.

But Shen Yuanmin didn't think it was necessary for Yan Yu to know about it.

"Promise Dad, you will run away when you meet someone you can't beat, and don't be brave, okay?" Shen Yuanmin instructed, "If Dad hears that you challenged a powerful beast or person next time, Dad will be serious." You are punished!"

Yan Yu nodded.

Shen Yuanmin smiled gratifiedly.As a father, he looked at his only child with pride and reluctance in his eyes clouded by old age.

That night, the father and son bid farewell briefly, Shen Yuanmin entered the stone room for retreat again, while Yan Yu went to the Xie's hut on the mountainside.

Over the years, the Xie family and his wife have become acquainted with him day by day.Ever since they knew that Shen Yuanmin often retreated, they invited Yan Yu to their house for breakfast, lunch and dinner.Occasionally, Xie Shi would pester Yan Yu to stay at his house, and the Xie family and his wife would also follow him.

At this time, Mrs. Xie had prepared a sumptuous dinner, including fish, pheasant, and wild pork, as well as a few side dishes.Seeing Yan Yu entering the door, Mrs. Xie said, "Wash your hands and then you can eat."

Yan Yu looked around the house, looking for a basin for washing hands, but found that Xie Shi was holding the basin and ran towards him, "Brother, wash your hands."

He is eight years old and walks very steadily.Running all the way, the water in the basin was not spilled at all.

After Yan Yu finished washing his hands, Xie Shi poured the water from the basin outside the house, put the basin back on the shelf, and sat obediently on the seat next to Yan Yu.

"Brother Chen retreated again?" Xie Shi's father asked.

"En." Yan Yu nodded.

"It's a pity, I thought he was going to leave the customs today, and I hunted a lot of game in the mountains, and I wanted him to taste it." Xie Shi's father said with emotion, "But it's the same if you come, you can eat today's meal. Eat more."

As he spoke, he put a pheasant leg into Yan Yu's and Xie Shi's bowls.

Yan Yu hurriedly thanked him.

Xie Shi saw it, put his pheasant leg into Yan Yu's bowl, and waited expectantly for Yan Yu to thank him.

Yan Yu put the pheasant leg back into Xie Shi's bowl with a dumbfounded smile, and said, "Thank you, but there are too many to eat, so you should keep this one for yourself."

After dinner, Xie Shi pestered Yan Yu to stay and sleep with him.

Yan Yu couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to agree.

After the two lay on the same bed, Xie Shi started to act like a baby again, and asked Yan Yu to tell him a bedtime story, "Brother Xiu Ling, look at how well I am today, tell me a bedtime story."

Yan Yu didn't refuse, got up and got out of bed to get the storybook on the table.He flipped to a random story, cleared his throat, and was about to start.

Unexpectedly, Xie Shi said softly, "Brother Xiu Ling, I feel that you treat me well."

When he said this, the eight-year-old child was holding Yan Yu's arm, his face was leaning against his chest, and his whole body was almost stuck to him, which reminded Yan Yu of the sticky meat that he had eaten during the Chinese New Year. Sweet little candies.

No!I don't treat you well at all, Yan Yu replied in his heart, I intend to kill you.

His various behaviors of "doting" Xie Shi in recent years can all be explained simply and crudely as "the weasel pays new year greetings to the chickens-no peace of mind", or to be more precise, a delicious meal for a dying person.

The Son of God and the Demon Seed are destined enemies, Yan Yu will kill Xie Zhiwei's reincarnation sooner or later.Because of this, in these years, Yan Yu was more than happy to accommodate some of Xie Shi's petty capriciousness, and satisfied most of his petty demands.

This is the only pity he has for this little child, like a knife coated with honey.

Of course, Xie Shi was completely unaware of Yan Yu's murderous intentions towards him, he only thought that he had a good-tempered brother.

In the middle of the night, rustling sounds reached Yan Yu's ears.He woke up immediately, listened intently for a moment, and found that the Xie family couple got up and dressed in the bedroom next door, discussing in a low voice the change that had just occurred in the island's protective formation.
