monster he just wants to be a good guy

Thank you for protecting me.

There was a dead silence behind him, Lu Man didn't reply him, but lightly squeezed his sweaty palm, motioning him not to move.

The monster was completely out of the woods.Lu Xiaoan had never seen such a big spider before. In front of such a giant, they were like two shivering little ants, trying to escape the fate of being hunted by pretending to be dead.

Lu Xiaoan has read in the book before that some animals are born blind and need to rely on sound to locate their prey. The monster in front of him has no eyes and relies on the ground to transmit vibrations to locate its direction.

After Lu Xiaoan stopped, it shook its head and froze for a while, as if it had temporarily lost its direction.Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the monster crawled towards them at a fast speed based on the previous feeling.

The monster was only a few steps away from them.Lu Xiaoan stood in front of Lu Man, facing the fine and dense spider leg hair, brushing against his body faintly, causing goose bumps all over his body.If it wasn't for Lu Man supporting him from behind, he would almost collapse on the ground with fright.

Lu Xiaoan felt tears rolling in his eyes.The monster's pockmarked face turned around, and its sharp mouthparts slowly approached him, and a stench spread, making people want to vomit.

Although Lu Xiaoan was afraid, he still puffed up his chest and tried his best to block the brother behind him with his body.If it wasn't for his willful running outside, my brother wouldn't have come here just to find him.He can die, but he can't implicate his brother in dying with him.He, Lu Xiaoan, suddenly broke free from Lu Man's embrace with all his strength, and quickly ran in the opposite direction.

"Brother, run—"

The monster was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, it rushed towards him at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Lu Xiaoan chose to close his eyes, hold his breath, and not think about what would happen next.

The monster crawled in the direction of the vibration of Lu Xiaoan's footsteps on the ground, and finally the vibration stopped. It opened its claws, trying to bite the prey in front of it to death and slowly taste it.

Its mouth touched something, and it could no longer move forward.

The monster was a little dazed, as if it had never encountered such a situation where it couldn't bite its prey.But it doesn't matter, the deadly venom secreted by it from the poison gland is injected into the body of the prey along the fangs.

The monster felt fresh blood flowing into its mouth along its mouthparts.It is the long-lost, luscious taste of human beings.

It was more excited, every nerve sending signals of eagerness to eat.The next moment, pain replaced appetite, and his two sharp chelicerae were being slowly pulled out.

The monster tried to bite in with the most ferocious and savage force, but it couldn't resist its mouth being pushed to the maximum angle.It let out a silent scream, and its six legs were trembling. It kept struggling, resisting, and trying to escape, but it couldn't escape the grip of those hands.

With a sound of "Crack——", the monster chose to tear off its own mouthparts, broke free, and quickly crawled in the opposite direction.

Lu Man stood in front of Lu Xiaoan, and threw the fangs he was holding into the nearby grass without expression.He heard the sound of the adults of the hunting team carrying weapons to encircle the monster from a distance, so he stopped chasing.

Lu Man turned his head and saw that Lu Xiaoan was still clenching his teeth and closing his eyes tightly, and pinched his cheek on a whim.Lu Xiaoan yelled, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll fight with you!" and jumped up with clenched fists and hit Lu Man on the body.

"Brother..." Lu Xiaoan opened his eyes and saw Lu Man standing in front of him.Lu Man looked around, but he didn't see that huge and scary body.

"Where's the monster?"

"What monster?" Lu Man looked at him in confusion. "Are you sleepy? Just now, I tried to wake you up but you punched me." Lu Man's serious look was more convincing than anyone else.

"I fell asleep...could it be a dream?" Lu Xiaoan was a little puzzled and looked at him blankly.Lu Man finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Lu Man! You're teasing me!" Lu Xiaoan angrily beat him up, Lu Man patted his thigh laughingly bent over while being hammered.Lu Xiaoan feels that today's brother is a little different from the previous one.The older brother also liked to laugh, but they were all gentle and gentle. It was very rare to laugh so happily.

"What about the monster?"

"It's right in front of your eyes." Lu Man pointed at himself, and Lu Xiaoan gave him a vicious look.

Lu Man stopped joking and returned to his previous normal state.He pointed to the woods and said, "Uncle Zheng and the others attracted the monsters, and we are safe." Outside the woods, the pace of the hunting team's battle and the sound of arrows shooting through the air could be faintly heard.

Outside the woods, the battle was coming to an end, and the huge body of the monster fell to the ground and stopped moving.The dangerous red light sweeping across the village stopped, and the string that had been stretched by the whole village was finally loosened.

The warm yellow lights came on one by one, the doors and windows opened one by one, everyone came out one after another, scared and craned their necks to join in the fun, and the warmth and tranquility returned to this small village.

"Let's go home. Auntie made crucian carp soup. We'll drink it when we go back." Lu Man took Lu Xiaoan's hand, and the two walked towards home.

The first person they met on the way back was Uncle Lu.He was in a hurry, a small jar of powder in his hand.

"Dad!" Lu Xiaoan was waving his hand from a long distance away, and Lu Man nodded towards him, recognizing that the jar contained gunpowder.

"Why are you still outside? Go home!" With a serious face, he urged them to go home, and then left in a hurry.Lu Xiaoan was driven back before he had time to talk about the terrible experience he had just encountered with the monster.

After a while, a raging fire was lit in the direction of the entrance of the village.

The orange-red flames rose very high, as if they were going to swallow the darkness completely.From such a distance, the skin seems to be able to feel the scorching heat.The two stood there, watching the fire quietly for a while.

Lu Xiaoan quietly observed Lu Man, and the soaring flames were reflected in his black eyes, which seemed deep and emotionless.Lu Man realized that his younger brother was peeking at him and smiled at him.

Almost home, many adults and children gathered on the ridge of the field to watch the fire from afar.

"The monster's body must be burned to ashes, otherwise it may cause other disasters." A child asked why the fire was burned, Zheng Qingmiao, the eldest brother of the Zheng family, explained.

He was a tall man, with all his hair shaved, and a beautiful feather hanging from his earlobe, which seemed to shine brightly in the firelight.

The two brothers of the Lu family were not in the mood to continue to join in the fun, so they hurried back home.Aunt Lu was not at home, and the emergency medical kit at home was also left together. She probably went out to heal the injured people in the hunting team.

The food was still warming in the pot, and when the lid was lifted, the delicious crucian carp aroma wafted out, as well as the fried vegetables, which had turned yellow after a long time.After a night of fright, Lu Xiaoan ate voraciously, and was almost stuck in his throat by a fishbone.

After Lu Xiaoan washed up, he sank himself into the soft bed, only then did he have a sense of steadfastness for the rest of his life.On the bedside, the clay puppet made by Lu Man stood there quietly, showing off his bald head and muscles.

Not long after he lay down, Lu Man poked his head out from the door.

"Xiao An, you are very brave, thank you for protecting me today."

Brothers seldom have such straightforward thanks and praises, Lu Xiaoan blushed a little embarrassed.

"It's just so-so." He recalled the brave and heroic posture he had stepped forward to attract the monster tonight. His proud little tail was already raised higher than the sky, but he still pretended not to care.Lu Man chuckled, as if he saw through his pretending to be modest, and didn't expose him.

Not long after Lu Man left, Lu Xiaoan hesitated for a moment, then called out his brother's name loudly.

"what happened?"

"Brother," he pointed to the inside of his right sleeve, "remember to wash the changed clothes as soon as possible."

Lu Man raised his sleeve and looked at the inside of his wrist, and was stunned.

Lu Xiaoan slept extremely unsteadily and had nightmares all night.For a while he dreamed that he was bitten in two by a spider, and for a while he dreamed that his brother was torn to pieces by a monster.

In the last dream, the elder brother stood in front of him, grabbing the two fangs of the monster with his bare hands.The monster trembled and struggled under his hands, but he remained motionless, and slowly opened his hands to the sides.

Blood slid down his wrist and stained his sleeve.

At that moment in the dream, he actually felt that such a strange brother was more like a monster than a spider.

Waking up from the nightmare, Lu Xiaoan sat up, sweating profusely.There was a light knock on the door, Lu Man was wearing the pajamas with the bear pattern, standing at the door and looking at him.Lu Xiaoan also has a set with the same pattern. Before that, Lu Xiaoan's mother made a brother's set for them.

"You just screamed. Was it a nightmare?"

"Hmm..." Seeing that he still couldn't recover, Lu Man walked over and patted his back to comfort him.The moonlight came in through the window and fell softly on Lu Man's face.

Seeing his brother's gentle expression, Lu Xiaoan felt the nightmare go away, and he slowly relaxed.Under the moonlight, Lu Man's palms and arms were clean without any scars.

"Brother," Lu Xiaoan said in a daze, "make me a new doll tomorrow. I want the same one as Zheng Qingqing."
