18, the eighteenth beep(1/2)
"Brother, I won't wet the bed."
After Yuan finished speaking seriously, he got under the velvet tail. It was a small ball, with only his head exposed, and his breathing was barely audible.
The firewood made a soft beeping sound, and the heat wave dispersed with the wind. Sesshomaru calmed down his momentum and closed his eyes to take a nap.
It's not that monsters don't need to sleep, but they don't have high requirements for falling asleep. If they want to sleep, they can sleep for hundreds of years; if they don't want to sleep, they can often wake up for ten and a half days.
But Sesshomaru was extremely self-disciplined. No matter it was windy or rainy, he would always take a break to bask in the moonlight every day.
Moonlight is a kind of energy that monsters generally like. It is gentle and feminine, and is very suitable for alleviating the violence of monsters. Often at this time, Sesshomaru will remove all defenses and monsters, while maintaining the wildness and instinct of monsters.
In this way, he can not only rest, but also exercise his alertness through rest.
Sesshomaru never misses any opportunity to become stronger, but since he has a half-demon around him, this "opportunity" seems to have become a "taboo"...
Yuanyi sleeps very well and usually stays in one position until dawn. But I don’t know if it’s because he was reincarnated as a child, but he inevitably moves a little more at night.
Perhaps the bones were too soft and it was uncomfortable to rest on the ground, so Yui changed from lying on his side to lying on his back. The small quilt squirmed, pulling on the down tail and shaking it. Sesshomaru, who was sleeping lightly, opened his eyes and glanced at the half-demon.
Eye.
Enichi quickly calmed down and lay motionless on his back. Sesshomaru stopped sleeping and stopped paying attention.
However, not long after, Xu Shi's cervical vertebra hurt from placing the Encyclopedia of Ghost Paths. He arched the pillow and pushed the book out. Then, while half asleep, he grabbed a piece of velvet tail and put it under his head, and rolled up his body.
roll.
Sesshomaru:......
Enichi stopped moving and stayed still for a long time this time. Sesshomaru closed his eyes again and finally enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
But he never expected that the temperature of the campfire and the velvet tail exceeded the cub's endurance limit. The stupid half-demon kicked his velvet tail and kicked it away.
Sesshomaru:......
At this moment, the big monster had only one thought in his mind. He wanted to hang the half-demon up and roast it on the fire until both sides were burnt black, and then crush it under his feet.
He really didn't expect that raising a cub would involve so many things. He had to consider whether it was cold or hot, and he had to worry about whether to kill it or not.
However, since the half-demon doesn't need Velvet Tail, why should he give him alms?
Sesshomaru sneered and immediately withdrew the down tail. Unexpectedly, Enichi was still using it as a pillow. As he pulled away, the child's head instantly hit the straw mat, making a soft "thud" sound.
The big monster's movements paused slightly.
Sure enough, Yuan Yi woke up with his head covered, his two canine ears drooping from the impact. Probably because he didn't get enough sleep, his eye sockets were a little red.
Enichi was in a daze for a long time and met Sesshomaru's eyes. He was about to say, "Brother, I think I kicked off the quilt." Unexpectedly, his brother spoke first: "Half-demon, I will kill you if you dare to cry."
If this half-demon dared to cry in front of him, he would just throw him here and leave.
"Brother, I won't cry."
Yuanyi didn't know why the fluffy tail was missing. He just thought it was because he kicked off the quilt. So, he crawled forward a few steps and grabbed the fluffy tail, and then pushed it into the fluffy tail.
Sleep, sweet.
Sesshomaru:......
The big monster understood something. If he didn't kill this half-demon, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
…
The bonfire is extinguished and the morning light is shining.
Yuanyi woke up in the velvet tail. After a full sleep, he quickly regained consciousness where he was.
Cave, bonfire, flying birds, this is not Inuyama, but the road I embarked on with my brother.
When he wakes up, there will no longer be a maid bringing him breakfast, there will no longer be a mother to dress him, and there will no longer be the care of Granny Qianharu and the nagging of Grandpa Mingjia...
This is his choice, but he will not regret it. After all, he thinks that he has no chance to live in luxury, and the mountains and forests are the most suitable place for him to stay.
"Good day, brother." Yuan Yiyi said.
It's just that his brother's face didn't look good, and even his always cold tone showed impatience: "When you're hungry, go find something to eat by yourself."
If you can't find it, just starve to death, you stupid half-demon.
"Yes." Yuanyi stood up obediently, "Brother, I will be back soon." After saying that, he grabbed the knife and ran away.
As the footsteps faded away, Sesshomaru's frown relaxed. He squinted at the end of the messy fur tail and felt his forehead twitch.
If he hadn't promised to take the half-demon with him, he would have broken the cub's neck.
Come back soon? But you really underestimated this forest. For a cub, the monsters in the forest are dangerous. Not only will the half-monster not be able to find food, but it may be hungry for several days.
And he will never look for food for the half-demon. Only when he is very hungry will the half-demon understand that his claws and teeth are not decorations.
Sesshomaru stood up, lifted up the velvet tail and shook it, smoothing the fur with the force of the swing. He put the velvet tail on his shoulders again and walked quietly to the stream not far away, waiting for the half-demon to return empty-handed.
It's a pity that Sesshomaru doesn't know that Enichi is a master of desert island survival. Not only will he not starve to death, but he can also feed him.
Not long after the sun rose, Yuan Yi came back carrying a knife, plants and wild fruits, and a bunch of fish.
Under Sesshomaru's gaze, Enichi quickly unloaded the goods and threw new firewood into last night's fire to start a fire. When the flames started to light up, he took a few large leaves and wove them into a thin bowl, scooped out stream water and put it on the fire to boil.
Lift the calf, scrape the scales and belly of the fish. Put a handful of wild vegetables and fruits into a thin bowl, then throw in half of the fish, stick the remaining half with branches and put it on the side to roast, and squeeze in some wild fruits.
of juice to remove the fishy smell.
His hands and feet are nimble and he moves quickly, not like a cub at all.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes.
"How did you learn this, half-demon?" he asked.
Yuanyi recalled his previous life when he ran away from home: "In order to survive, it will come naturally if you don't go hungry."
Sesshomaru:......
Also, a half-demon will not be accepted by humans, and his human mother cannot protect him. If he wants to survive, he must be self-reliant.
Sesshomaru didn't ask any more questions, and Enichi didn't explain anything. Although the two of them didn't chat on the same channel, their brainwaves could always connect subtly, and they each thought they were "right".
The atmosphere calmed down.
Enichi picked two branches, blunted the fibers, and trotted towards Sesshomaru: "Nii-sama, if you don't mind, just use these to rinse your mouth."
Gargling your mouth with twigs and salt is something only humans can do.
"I don't need these, half-demon." Sesshomaru said calmly, "A pure great demon will use demon power to get rid of filth."
As long as the demonic power continues to circulate in his body, Sesshomaru does not need to pay attention to hygiene issues. Sunlight and moonlight are to him what clear water is to humans. He only needs to stand under the cover of the two to achieve the cleaning effect.
"The power of demons to dispel filth?" Yuanyi remembered this word and decided to try it when he had time.
If he could succeed, he could save time cleaning up and practice.
Enichi squatted by the stream and gargled while holding a tree branch. The fish soup in the thin bowl gradually became a layer of milky white. The fragrance filled the air, attracting a surge of demonic energy in the forest. However, frightened by the presence of Sesshomaru, none of them dared not to
Step forward knowingly.
Sesshomaru thought that maybe he should leave here and let those bastards rush out to plunder the half-demon's food, so that he could experience the difficulty of protecting food...
"Brother, the fish soup has been cooked. You can also use some."
Sesshomaru lowered his eyes and met the half-demon's eyes.
Rumu, gentle, and the half-demon sincerely wanted to invite him to eat, rather than using him as a shield.
However, he has little interest in fish: "I don't eat food made by humans."
Yuanyi looked at the fish and felt that he couldn't finish it: "But I'm not a human being."
Sesshomaru:......
The big monster finally sat down humbly and had breakfast with the half-demon.
He originally thought that the fish soup would taste so bad that he couldn't swallow it, but he didn't expect that the half-demon's cooking skills were good and the food could barely be eaten.
With this thought in mind, Sesshomaru sipped the fish soup and ate the fish meat with two thin bamboo branches. His eating appearance was gentle and elegant, and there was no trace of him being a monster.
Except when a monster wants to get close——
Sesshomaru's instinct to protect food arose, and he flew towards the forest with a knife in his eye. Soon, all the smell of offal dissipated, leaving only the fragrance of fish soup still floating around.
Yuanyi was full: "If my brother is here, I can eat with peace of mind."
Sesshomaru:......
Just like that, the first lesson of "food protection" ended before it even started.
…
If he could go back in time, Sesshomaru felt that he would never commit to raising a cub.
From the moment he left the cave to the present, he led the half-demon across the entire forest. Along the way, in addition to the wailing of blind bastards, the voice of the half-demon kept echoing in his ears.
It was probably the first time he went on a long journey, the first time he came into contact with monsters, the first time he saw the forest. The half-demon was full of curiosity about everything he saw.
"Brother, is that one lying on the tree trunk also a monster?" Yuanyi pointed at a creature that looked like a fly.
"It's a cursed spirit." Sesshomaru said simply, "Zarp."
To be continued...
