hey little guy

Chapter 2 STAR (2)
【thief】

The sallow-faced and thin girl followed behind the man furtively, with her fingers slightly protruding forward, she took out two ingots of silver from the man's pocket.

She turned quietly, and just about to run away, a sharp sword was pointed at her throat.The man stood in front of her, condescending.Only then did the girl realize that she had bumped into the general defending the city.

"I didn't give it to you, you can't steal it."

The girl trembled with fright.

The sword was put away, the general smiled, stuffed the silver into the girl's arms, then patted her on the head, and walked away leisurely.

Ten years later, the war broke out, and the general put on silver armor.He led the battle and killed countless enemies.

The enemy army bribed the people around him.On that day, the adjutant took out a dagger and stabbed him fiercely in the back.

A cold light flashed, and the adjutant's Tesuji was picked into two pieces.The girl appeared quietly in a well-dressed outfit.

"I didn't give it to you, you can't steal it."

【Ching Ming】

The Dragon King walked leisurely in the mountains with the flagon in hand, drinking as he went.

At the foot of the mountain is a cemetery. Every Qingming Festival, many people pay homage to the dead here.They ignite all kinds of paper money and delicacies and burn them into coke, so that they can pass things into the lower realm.

After the people dispersed, countless will-o'-the-wisps lit up in the cemetery.

When the Dragon King stepped forward, an old ghost was leaning against the tombstone, sighing and coughing from time to time.

"Why is sir sighing?" Dragon King asked.

The old ghost looked up and found that it was the Dragon King, and immediately knelt down.He pointed to the will-o'-the-wisp next to him and said, "Lord Dragon, I've eaten too much recently and got angry. In the past two days, my gums are swollen and my throat hurts. Please help us!"

The Dragon King nodded, waved his sleeves, and the rain fell in an instant.The will-o'-the-wisp went out, and the old ghost let out a long sigh of relief.

This is the reason for "there are many rains during the Qingming Festival".

【Dry bones】

"Can you stop squatting next to me? I'm so scared." The man was so cold that he curled up and shivered.In front of him was a skeleton that was still able to move and make sounds for unknown reasons.

It was freezing cold in the cave, and the heat brought by the fish caught from the underground river as food was no longer enough to resist the severe cold.Surrounded by damp stone walls, the flint was thrown aside, and he had long since given up making a fire.

He only had half a day to go out, and the cold made it difficult for him to move forward.He wasn't the first explorer to die here, as evidenced by the skeleton.

"You're going to die anyway, let me see what's going on." The skeleton said disdainfully, "I haven't seen a stranger in hundreds of years, it's so lonely."

"Am I really going to die?" The man's voice was hoarse, "I don't want my daughter to have no father in the future."

"Really." The skeleton said, followed by a long silence.The man covered his face and sobbed silently.

"Really, a big man." The skeleton cursed, got up, picked up the flint, and smashed it hard at his cervical spine.

The flame ignited a bone, crackling and emitting warm light and heat.

"After going out, bury my skull in the sun."

【Crooked neck tree】

It is a locust tree with a crooked neck.Probably because of the unique branch, since it grows up, almost every month, there are always several people who hang themselves.

In the dark night, the scholar threw the hemp rope onto the branch, tied it in a knot, then wrapped it around his neck, and kicked over the stones on which he stepped.

The past flashed before the scholar's eyes like a revolving lantern.He suddenly had a trace of remorse, but the rope stuck firmly into his skin, pulling his life away little by little.

At the critical moment, the branch suddenly snapped off.The scholar fell to the ground, panting heavily with relief.After recovering his physical strength, he picked up the bookcase and left silently.

Behind him, only the only trunk of the locust tree remained, and it rushed straight to the sky.

"Why do you want to cut off the branches?"

"He doesn't want to die yet." Huai Shu said lightly, "It's just too impulsive."

"You are always like this." The cypress tree shook its head and sighed, "Up to now, you don't even have a single leaf left, and you haven't even left a single fruit."

"Who said that?" Huai Shu looked at the scholar's back and smiled softly.

"In this world, my fruits are everywhere."

【Unlimited】

It is said that this world has countless sides.Any fairy tale, any story is a real existence, as long as you look for it, you will always find its entrance.

Men are sure of it.

Since more than ten years ago, he has been looking for the world he is obsessed with, but it seems to be an unattainable dream.He tried his best, but it was still difficult to find the way.He kept singing songs about that world, as if in this way, he could catch the tail of his dreams.

"That's a fabrication." The people around him said to the man.Every time he listened to it, he shook his head with a smile.

Later, he suffered from a terminal illness, and the pain made him gradually lose weight.But he still sang that ballad until he couldn't make a sound.

The shadowless lights in the emergency room dazzled his eyes, and the sound drifted farther and farther away, becoming illusory.He twitched his nostrils and smelled the aroma of green grass.

The man tried his best to open his eyes, and countless colorful butterflies fluttered in front of his eyes.He stretched out his hand to block the glare, and unexpectedly found that his palm had become immature.

A voice rang in his ear.

"Are you... the chosen child?"

【chili】

The spiciness of chili is his invincible sword.Tens of thousands of years of evolution allowed him to obtain this weapon, which allowed him to drive away other animals and protect the plants behind him.

"Leave everything to me." Chili always said that. He has a fiery temper and is never afraid of fighting.The crimson body visibly warned the intruders that he was not to be trifled with.

Peppers were invincible until humans came along.

The sword he was proud of looked so pale and powerless in front of the mighty hunter.

"Don't go!" The plant cried, and the pear blossoms brought rain.

Pepper looked back and said with a smile: "Every warrior, from the moment he comes into the world, is ready to sacrifice."

Pepper rushed forward, his arms and wrists vibrated slightly.

On that day, he stabbed more than 1 swords.When he passed away, the taste buds beside him died.

【shark】

"Why don't you let me go into the water?" The little boy stood on tiptoe, looking at the people surfing in the distance.

"You are too young," his mother said earnestly. "The sea is full of sharks, and if you fall into the water, you will be eaten!"

The boy hung his head in frustration, turned and left.

Out of his mother's sight, the boy secretly made a small spinnaker out of wood and clothes.One night, following the example of an adult, he stepped on it facing the sea breeze and opened his arms.

A wave came over, the boy became unsteady and fell into the water.He struggled, but his legs cramped, and the sea water flooded over his head in an instant.

The great white shark picked him up and swam to the shore.In a haze, the boy hugged its dorsal fin tightly.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next day, and his mother found him waking up, lying on top of him, crying loudly.

"Mom." The boy's eyes sparkled, "My little windsurfing saved me."

【Humpback whales】

A sea fishing man rescues a stranded calf and sends it off shore.The whale circled the boat, unwilling to leave for a long time.

While gratifyingly throwing out the fishing rod, the man took out his camera to record this beautiful moment.But as time passed, the whale had no intention of leaving.

"You walk around here, I can't catch fish at all..." the man said helplessly.

The baby whale seemed not to have heard what the man said, and continued to toss around the boat. The man tried to persuade him, but the baby whale still didn’t leave until the sun gradually turned west.

"You can't finish!" The man was furious, and threw the camera out, "I can't catch any more fish!"

The baby whale was hit on the head and fled in fright.

The man went fishing day after day, but he did not expect to encounter a storm, and the huge waves capsized the boat.While struggling, a whale lifted him up.

As the storm passed, the man excitedly patted the whale on the back.

The whale under the seat suddenly trembled, and the air holes on its back sprayed out a majestic column of fog, forming a rainbow in the sunlight.

"It's so beautiful." The man admired.

Countless fishes fell with the rainbow, and the man fled in a panic.
