Easton and the Serpent's Coil Chapter 4

Koi couldn't wear clothes, so he was only wrapped in Easton's wide shirt, with most of the clothes hanging on the ground. He ran barefoot under the verandah. A copper bell swayed in the wind under the eaves, and the koi fish, with its messy hair, jumped up and down between the ringing sounds.

The little stone man chased him, picking up the clothes he had dragged on the ground. The koi fish rushed to the end of the verandah, where there was a small pond next to a century-old ginkgo tree. He squatted down and pulled the water with his hands, shivering from the cold.

"This is how it feels to be a human being." Koi muttered to himself. After one night, he became much more fluent in speech.

The stone man kicked his B*tt, but Koi didn't pay attention and jumped forward and fell to his knees on the wooden board. He didn't have time to get angry, so he laughed loudly and raised his palm to look at it again and again.

"Falling down, it hurts so much!" he said.

It wasn't long before he learned to run that he always wanted to lie down on the ground and swim with his tail. He needs to get used to the hands, not the fins. He sat down cross-legged and tightened his shirt. His fat white feet were red from the cold. He lowered his head and buried it under his wide shirt to observe his body. Then his head popped up and whispered to the little stone man.

"In addition to hands and feet, do people have other objects? It's so strange."

The little stone man couldn't speak, so he squeezed next to his head and looked at him for a long time. Seeing that he looked confused, he didn't know how to explain to him.

The koi fish caught the little stone man, looked under it, and said strangely, "Why don't you have one?"

The little stone man looked annoyed, covered his head and kicked the koi. Koi immediately bared his teeth and threatened, "If you kick me again, I will throw you away! You will never see Easton again!"

The stone man took a few steps back, turned around and ran indoors. The koi was afraid that it would complain, so it quickly got up and chased after it. He moved very gently when he entered because Easton was resting. When Easton came back last night, he coughed for half the night and fell asleep late in the morning.

The koi stepped on the small table, climbed onto the chair, jumped onto the couch, and knelt beside Easton's pillow. Easton's face was paler than last night. He looked like a person who had been ill for a long time, as if lingering on the sickbed had become the norm. The pillow mat was covered with ink, and the koi carp carefully picked up a handful, but it flowed from the fingers. Koi bravely lowered his upper body and heard Easton's breathing. His fingertips touched Easton's cheeks and neck, then pulled back in surprise, and then stretched out in disbelief.

hot.

Easton is hot and moist to the touch.

This was completely different from what he knew before. Could it be that even the touch would be different if he became a human?

The koi lay down next to Easton. As he looked at Easton like this, he noticed something different. He had never looked at Easton in this direction. It turned out that Easton's nose was so straight, Easton's lips were so thin, Easton's... Easton was so good-looking, as if he could be touched with just one hand. Fine, thin porcelain that will break.

Koi pinched his nose and touched his cheek. I thought to myself, I will not be more beautiful than Easton in the future, because it is enough to have one like him in the world, and it would be better for me to be more powerful and stronger than him.

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a pain in his back. When he looked back, he saw the little stone man sitting on the edge, looking at him unhappily. He snorted, got closer to Easton, and pushed the stone man away with his feet. But the little stone man hugged his calf and was about to drag him down. When he was anxious, he turned around and grabbed Easton's skirt, hugged Easton's neck and refused to leave.

The little stone man jumped angrily, and the koi carp ignored it. When he was next to Easton, he unconsciously absorbed spiritual energy. Easton's aura today was empty and unstable, his eyebrows were slowly wrinkled, and he had a vague look that he couldn't absorb. For some unknown reason, the little stone man suddenly stopped and turned into two stones rolling aside.

Easton didn't wake up for a long time, and Koi swallowed his saliva.

This is a good opportunity to eat Easton.

Easton's spiritual consciousness wandered on the empty stone platform, and he was walking alone, not knowing where he was going. The broken body repaired slowly, and the light was scattered, making it difficult to form a human form. He seemed to be choked by someone, making it difficult to breathe. His chest was heavy and the feeling of being pressed made him feel exhausted.

Even so, when the wind started blowing under the verandah, he opened his eyes instantly. What caught his eye was a fluffy head, with the raised part pressed against his cheek. The koi fish was hugging him tightly, sleeping soundly.

Easton looked at the roof, closed his eyes and breathed out. When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his composure.

"What's the matter?" His voice was always emotionless.

Someone knelt on the ground in the corridor and said softly, "My brother is naughty and has disturbed your superior Qing Xiu. He deserves death. I have come here to plead guilty, and I beg you not to hesitate to punish me."

Easton was silent for a moment before he remembered who was kneeling outside the door.

"I am not your lord." Easton said.

The body lying down outside the door remained silent. After a long while, he said, "I belong to the Jiutian Realm, Linsong Lord. This matter is known to everyone. Even though the Shenli Tree is now under the supervision of the Boundary Division, my heart is still the same." Rock, unwavering."

As she spoke, she raised her head, faced the door upright, and bowed down again.

"Don't call me Junshang." Easton said every word suddenly, filled with hatred.

The woman outside the door was silent for a long time and whispered: "...Brother Ninth."

Easton's chest felt suffocated, and his hands and feet felt cold. He raised his hands to cover his eyes, his Adam's apple slid silently, his chest rose and fell, and he suppressed the urge to choke.

Do not call me.

His eyes were submerged in the covering darkness, as if he would never be able to get out. This "Brother Nine" was like a thorn, pricking him with blood.

The woman outside the door only took a few moments to calm down. Even though her eyes were red, her voice remained stable. She raised her hands and pulled out her tightly bound brother. Paxton Ah changed into his original shape and flopped on the ground.

"Paxton Ah was pampered and pampered by me in Shenli Tree, which made him arrogant and domineering and disobedient to discipline. Since he has done something wrong, he must bear it himself. I handed him over to Ninth Brother. No matter life or death, there will always be Ninth Brother." Call the shots."

As soon as the sound fell, he knelt down to bow and turned around to leave. Paxton Ah banged her head when she saw this, stared at his sister, and was about to cry. When his sister Fu Li was about to go down the stairs, she stopped again.

"I know Brother Jiu doesn't want to see me." Fuli lowered his long eyelashes and looked into the dark night, "But for me, Brother Jiu is still alive, so I am content. That day the true Buddha raised his finger, and the nine heavens shook , The news of Ninth Brother's death is heartbreaking. No matter what others say, Ninth Brother is still Ninth Brother. Although I don't know the grudge between you and your father, I don't want to easily believe that you are such a murderous person. ..."

"You are wrong." Easton said, "I killed him just to fulfill my long-cherished wish. I have neither righteousness nor integrity. I want to kill him, so I will kill him. It has nothing to do with you. I am not Your Ninth Brother, Lord Linsong, died in Jiutian Terrace. Now that you see this person, he is just a dead person. Take him away. "

Paxton Ah couldn't hear what Linsong Jun was, and he didn't know what Ninth Brother was. He only heard Easton saying "go away" to his sister, which made him furious. When he was born, there were no colorful birds in the Shenli tree. Fuli was his sister and his mother. Although he was a B@st@ard and domineering person, he would not let anyone say a bad word about his sister.

At that moment, he broke away and opened his mouth to curse, "Easton! How dare you say 'get out' to my sister? Who are you? You are just a sick young man hiding in the mountains, who is afraid of you! Not even a sea snake." I can disturb you so much that you can’t get out of bed, so why are you pretending to be a good person now? You can’t do anything more than..."

Fu Li turned around instantly and shouted: "Shut up!"

The copper bell under the eaves and corridors suddenly rang, and the sound of thousands of pines and waves in the mountains undulated. A strong wind surged out from the lush forest, causing Paxton Ah to roll down the corridor and into the mountains.

He was still tied up and couldn't break free. He could only shout stubbornly in the air, "Wait!"

Fuli wanted to say something else, but the inner door of the inner room suddenly closed, shutting out even her voice. Fu Li couldn't say anything in the end, and only stood in silence for half a night before leaving.

As soon as Easton waited for her to leave, he coughed up blood. The little stone man stuffed a handkerchief in his palm, covered his lips to wipe away the blood, and said, "Aren't you awake yet?"

The koi then tentatively opened one of its eyes, pretending to wake up and rubbed it. He sat up like a ball of soft dough and held Easton's neck. The koi showed its little white teeth and smiled cutely at Easton.

Easton raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at the koi with a very oppressive look, and said coldly, "Eat people quickly, and bite hard. Why are you hesitating so much?"

His lips had just been stained with blood and were stained a little red.

The koi shrank its hands innocently, looking very scared. Easton raised his head slightly, almost touching the koi's forehead. His eyes were lifeless, as if he were telling someone else's life and death.

"If you miss the opportunity, you will have to wait for a year, a hundred years, or even a thousand years." It was not his skin that was cold, but his soul. He approached the koi, like a giant beast waking up and raising its body. This irresistible intimidation was far more frightening than its sharp teeth.

Koi keenly sensed that Easton was unusual and wanted to shrink back. But Easton grabbed his arm and placed him in the shadow of the giant beast. The koi is becoming more and more unbearable. This is not a pain, but the pressure of being looked down upon from a high place. The pressure clustered around his weak line, making him tremble involuntarily.

"Jing...Easton..." Koi called out Easton's name in pain. His internal organs felt like they were being crushed by heavy objects, and even his breathing became intermittent.

Easton looked at it for a while and let go. The koi leaned back and rolled a few times on the quilt, as if it had been amnesty. The inner room fell into silence, and Koi gritted his teeth in his heart, still showing a pitiful look on his face. Tears rolled in his eyes, and he pressed the back of his hands and sobbed softly.

Easton turned his head and looked at Ye Xue with little interest. He sat for a long time and turned back to look at the koi.

"come over."

The koi was alert inside, but crawled back like a small animal. The more well-behaved he is on the outside, the calmer he is on the inside. He hid under this childish body, eager to resolve Easton's guard. However, to his disappointment, Easton seemed to understand everything and didn't care.

The koi climbed to Easton's side. Easton raised his hand to touch his head, but gave up midway. He turned to pull a clean handkerchief from the stone man, wiped the koi's nose and tears, and then lay down again. No more talking.

The next day it was snowing and clearing up, and the sound of anvil broke through the morning. Easton offered some clothes to Koi, but Koi put his head on his sleeves and couldn't put them on. The little stone man straightened his clothes, dressed him, and wrapped him in a small velvet cloak. There is a pair of carp embroidered on the shoe, and the koi couldn't help but reach out and touch it when putting on the shoes.

Then Easton stood up and went down the stairs. He was still dressed in regular clothes today, very thin. He stood at the foot of the steps and looked back for a moment, with a cold expression on his face.

The little stone man held the koi, led him down the stairs, and followed Easton down the mountain. The mountains were surrounded by morning mist and the steps were slippery. The stone man fell down several times. The koi carp was still sullen at first, but then it ran and played with the little stone man, rolling a lot of snow. Easton never looked back, half closing his eyes as if in a dream.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the koi ran a few steps, but the little stone man was nowhere to be seen. He turned around and saw the little stone man sitting on Easton's shoulder, shaking his arm at him.

Before Koi understood it, he heard Easton say.

"Just leave."
