monster he just wants to be a good guy

Chapter 7 The Courage to Trust Others

You also watched him grow up, don't you understand what kind of person he is?

Lu Man didn't want to join the hunting team on a whim.

In the past few days, when Lu Man went out to patrol around the village at night, he found that the number of monsters had increased sharply.

Something unforeseen was brewing, he could feel it.His gut told him that was not a good thing.

Going out to hunt after half a month is a good opportunity. Lu Man can follow the hunting team to explore farther away from the village. Half a month of hunting is enough time.What's more, when they encountered a danger they couldn't fight, Lu Man could still help them.

Someone beside him tugged at his sleeve, he lowered his eyes and saw that it was the youngest of the Zhang family, Zhang Zaodao stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand was the pearl earring he had just thrown out.

"Thank you little brother Lu." Zhang Zaodao returned the things to Lu Man, still pulling his sleeves. Lu Man saw that he seemed to have something to say to him, so he bent slightly and turned his ears away.

"Brother Lu, can you... teach me how to become stronger?" Zhang Zaidao and Lu Man are obviously the same age, but their height and build are a circle smaller than Lu Man's, like a bamboo pole.Zhang Zaodao eats a lot every day and keeps exercising, but his limbs are still weak and weak.He was also very troubled by it.

"Sorry, I don't know how to do it either." Hearing the answer, Zhang Zaidao's eyes suddenly dimmed.Lu Man changed his voice: "But——"

"Uncle Lu told me that strength is not the only sign of being strong. Sometimes, people who can run away can also be strong people, like me, Uncle Lu." Zhang Zaodao shook his shoulders when he heard this, and was amused.

"Waida, you may not have noticed it yourself, your observation skills are very good."

Zhang Zaodao was taken aback for a moment, apparently not understanding why Lu Man made such a statement.Lu Man put his hands on his shoulders and pulled him closer.

"Otherwise, why would you return this earring to me?" Lu Man said with a gentle smile.

"Master, please don't throw Xiao Ai out suddenly next time, it will scare the AI ​​to death!"

"Sorry, it's urgent. I'll try to tell you in advance next time."

"That's not the problem... You take Xiao Ai to head-to-head against a rock. What if Xiao Ai's appearance is broken? There is no place to repair it here."

"You are the latest smart housekeeper, so it's not so easy to break, right?"

When Lu Man put the earring back on his right ear, beads of blood came out.Lu Xiaoan watched his brother "put" on the earrings without blinking, and couldn't help breathing lightly.

His brother lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something very seriously, and he didn't even notice that Lu Xiaoan was following him.It wasn't until Lu Xiaoan pointed to his earlobe and shouted: "Brother, it's bleeding!" Lu Man came back to his senses, wiped his earlobe with his thumb, and smiled at him.

"Brother, are you really going hunting? You're under 15, okay?"

"Didn't Brother Zheng say that too? As long as you pass the assessment, you can join the hunting team before you turn 16. I remember that Brother Zheng also joined the hunting team at the age of [-]."

"That's Brother Zheng! He was able to lift a cow in place when he was 16 years old! How can you be as good as him?" Lu Xiaoan's experience with his idol is very familiar.

"I heard from the adults that outside, there are hundreds of thousands of big spiders like the one we encountered before. And there are all kinds of monsters that eat people and don't spit out bones. Zhang Zaidao's father had his leg bitten off by a monster, and Wang Yimeng's father went hunting once, and never came back again..." Lu Xiaoan frowned worriedly.

"Lu Xiao'an, can't you expect me to order?" Lu Man bent down, stretched out his hand and pulled his younger brother's sad face away, and pulled out an ugly smile from the corner of his mouth. "Believe it or not, when your brother goes hunting, he can bring back more prey than Brother Zheng?"

"I don't believe it. Lu Man...let me go!" Lu Xiaoan broke free from his clutches and made faces at his brother. "It's hard to say whether you can pass the exam. I heard from Brother Zheng that the exam is very strict. You haven't even participated in the training. I don't believe you can pass within fifteen days."

"I think I can."

"Then we'll see! If I win, you'll have to take care of me for a month. If you win, it's the other way around."

"Deal." Lu Man responded too happily, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and Lu Xiaoan felt that he had been cheated.His brother is getting worse and worse... Of course, he is also getting more and more real.

Before, Lu Xiaoan occasionally felt that his brother was like a flawless dummy, but now, he became more and more vivid, as if he had really come alive.

At home, Zheng Qingmiao talked to his father about some of the results of today's training on the training ground, and also mentioned that Lu Man also came to the training ground today.

"Lu Man wants to join the hunting team ahead of time...Father, is this appropriate?"

The village chief sat upright on the chair, with his back straight, and he didn't even lean on the back of the chair.The years have left traces of vicissitudes on his face, as well as battle medals.

There is a hideous scar extending from the forehead along the bridge of the nose to the chin, making the whole face extremely scary.But when he opened his eyes, the softness in his eyes softened the harshness.

"He has this ability and this heart, so there is nothing inappropriate."

"But he is..." Zheng Qingmiao opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"Amiao, I watched you grow up. You are my best child. But you also have a fatal flaw, which is that you are not brave enough." Zheng Qingmiao was a little unconvinced. He felt that his father could call him reckless or dull , but said he was not brave enough, he was not convinced.In any battle, he didn't rush to the front.

Village head Zheng saw what the eldest son was thinking, and instead of directly responding to his confusion, he opened his mouth and said:

"Amiao, you also know that monsters are particularly sensitive to the scent of humans. When humans gather together, no matter what precautions they take, they can smell it, and they rush to attack like hyenas."

"Do you know how many villages near us have been destroyed by monster attacks?"

"There are no villages around us anymore." Zheng Qingmiao said hesitantly.

"Yes. Only Qingmiao Village is still doing well. Over the years, our village has continuously absorbed refugees from the surrounding areas, from less than ten households at the beginning to fifty or sixty households now. Qingmiao Village can be so safe, the villagers You can live a peaceful and warm life, and your children can grow up carefree, who do you think is thanks to?"

"The fence and alarm measures designed by Uncle Lu."

"Also." Village Chief Zheng nodded slightly.

"Uncle Zhang and the others alternately guarding the village gate day and night?"

"Any more?"

"There are also monster bones that we sprinkled outside the wall to deter them." Zheng Qingmiao added.

"You're all right, but not complete."

"The development of Qingmiao Village to this day is thanks to everyone in the village. They believe that when we go hunting, we will bring back abundant supplies for the village. And we also believe that when we leave, we will always be safe behind us."

Zheng Qingmiao listened carefully, frowning thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoman proposed that he wants to join the hunting team. I just said that you are not brave enough, not only referring to the courage to charge forward when facing the enemy, but also the courage to trust others."

"For 15 years, you have also watched him grow up. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Villager Zheng spoke earnestly.Zheng Qingmiao blushed with shame and lowered her head.

"The monster that broke in last time had already lost its pair of fangs when we discovered it." Zheng Qingmiao said suddenly without beginning or end.

Village Chief Zheng loosened his brows slowly, picked up the tea mug, took a big gulp, let out a long breath, and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's arrange the assessment according to the previous situation. You and the little girl from the Zhang family will handle it together."

Zheng Qingmiao's face flushed again, he looked up at his father, answered and opened the door and left.The village chief smiled cheerfully, took another sip of tea, and then sat back on the chair and raised Erlang's legs: "You are still young, that's great."

The next day, Lu Man woke up early, before dawn, he washed up and came to the training ground among the reeds.Zheng Qingmiao has arrived, and there is also a person that Lu Man did not expect. Zhang Qingyan is dressed in a strong outfit, with a cool demeanor, her hair is combed high into a long ponytail, hanging on the back of her head, she has a bow on her back, and a tie around her waist. With a half-wrapped whip.

"Morning Brother Zheng, Sister Qingyan." Zheng Qingmiao nodded with a silly smile, and Zhang Qingyan nodded slightly.After the men go out to hunt in the village, the reserve members of the hunting team can't waste their training, and Zhang Qingyan will teach them.Lu Man didn't see her yesterday because she was teaching the girls who wanted to participate in the hunting to use the whip on the nearby hillside.Lu Man usually didn't get along with her very much, but I heard that she was a strict instructor.

"Xiao Lu, before the formal assessment, we will give you basic training, which is mainly divided into three modules: tracking, escaping, and attacking. I am mainly responsible for the two aspects of close combat and escaping."

"I'm in charge of long-range and tracking." Zhang Qingyan's tone was also a little cold, with a serious tone, which made people subconsciously straighten their backs and stand up obediently.

Zhang Qingyan pulled out the whip from her waist and waved it as if warming up.The body of the whip lashed the ground, rolling up gravel and flying dust.

Then the trajectory of the whip changed, and it rushed towards Lu Man like a snake shadow. Yan hands.Lu Man stood where he was, motionless, without blinking his eyelashes, and even breathed smoothly and gently as usual.

Zheng Qingmiao was a little helpless, obviously this was an old trick that every newcomer would encounter once.A smile appeared on Zhang Qingyan's face.

"Lu Man, you did a good job."

"Do you know what is the most important skill to master in the wild?" She asked, wanting to test Lu Man.

Lu Man thought for a while, then replied, "How did you fight?"

"No." The two shook their heads in unison, denying the answer.

"It's pretending to be dead." Zhang Qingyan spat out the word without changing her expression.

"It's hiding." Zheng Qingmiao said at the same time.

Then he came to his senses, reddened his face and revised it a bit: "Yes, it's pretending to be dead, it means the same thing." Zhang Qingyan glanced at him lightly, and Zheng Qingmiao blushed even more.

Lu Man noticed the subtle atmosphere.

"Oh roar." One person and one AI sighed in their minds.
