He and It

Then, Echidna curled up at the entrance of the cave and kept looking at him with a smile, which made Xie Ning feel awkward and scared. Later, he gradually felt a familiar sense of déjà vu from this scene - isn't this what it looks like when someone just adopts a new kitten!

Well, he thought, just think of me as his newly adopted little animal. The novelty hasn’t worn off yet, so it’s normal!

After thinking about it, Xie Ning washed herself up and ignored Echidna.

I have a foothold of my own here for the time being, but going home is still far away and there is no hope...

As he washed, Xie Ning's thoughts drifted, and she couldn't help but start thinking about his home and his family.

How anxious should your relatives be when they learn that you are missing? Will his elderly grandparents be unable to withstand such a blow? Will his successful parents give up everything and go bankrupt to find him?

Xie Ning had never heard of how painful the situation of a family that lost its only child was. At this moment, just imagining the misfortunes that his family might encounter in the future made him feel heartbroken. Even if he soaked in the surging hot springs, his body felt so painful. It was as cold as ice and snow, and I shivered like a shiver.

Echidna soon discovered something strange about him.

The snake's belly rubbed against the ground, and the hard snake scales scattered rusty debris on the iron rock. He squeezed into the cave, which was a bit crowded for him, and swam to Xie Ning's side.

What's wrong? The snake demon opened his eyes wide, I feel you are shaking, Dolos, what made you unhappy?

...It's nothing, Xie Ning forced a smile at him, I just miss home.

Echidna frowned, and seeing the human's sad smile immediately gave him a harsh sense of dissatisfaction. Because the young man has paid a lot for him and decided to serve himself with the courtesy of serving the gods. If he cannot satisfy the other party and the person who loves him deeply, then what is the use of his power and strength? ?

Do you want to return to Eleusis? Echidna asked, Don't be afraid of troublesome me! As long as you are willing to speak, even if you want to live on the top of Olympus, what's the problem?

Xie Ning didn't want to tell him the truth so soon. It was too early. He didn't even know Echidna's temper clearly, so it was better not to talk about it.

My family...are no longer in this world, he said politely.

It turned out that he was dead, Echidna suddenly realized. This roughly explains part of the reason why Doros came here. It is precisely because he lost the protection of his parents, just like a rootless olive tree and a pomegranate fruit separated from its branches. Naturally, one can only obey the mercy of others.

Even if you are in the Kingdom of Death, what does it matter? Echidna hissed, Heracles dared to ambush in the cemetery, and when Death came to collect his soul, he strangled him by the throat and pinched him with both hands. , until the god of death is willing to send the ghost back to the mortal world. He is just an illegitimate son of Zeus, and he dares to do such an unscrupulous rogue thing. Am I worse than him? Let me call the three-headed dog guarding the underworld for you! It must obey my orders, otherwise it will be whipped by the poisonous whip of the Furies. Tell me the names of your family members, and let me send their souls back to the world.

Xie Ning was startled and stunned for a moment as he spoke.

No, no! He hurriedly excused himself, The resurrection of the dead is still a bit too shocking, and if you do this, Pluto will definitely be very angry. I don't want to cause trouble to you, and I don't want to disturb the...peace of the dead. Yes, peace. .”

How could there be such an upright person who could remain unmoved even when faced with the temptation of a loved one returning to the world?

Echidna was completely surprised. He went around to the other side and came up with another idea: Then, I can dig a gap for you to the underworld. You can sacrifice two black goats, a male and a female, there. Pray while chanting your parents' names. At this time, the ghosts will float up along this gap. As long as they are not your parents', you can use my scales to block them. When your parents come, you let them take a sip. With the blood of the sacrifice, they can speak to you. Can this alleviate your longing?

Xie Ning really understood what if you tell a lie, you have to use a hundred lies to cover it up.

In desperation, he used a dragging tactic and said sadly: I am very grateful for your suggestion, but I have to think about it carefully. I don't know if I have the courage to face them.

Okay, Echid muttered glumly.

After washing, Xie Ning tied a bath towel around her waist and planned to climb out, but after letting the hot water soak for too long, her hands and feet became soft, like an overturned turtle. She struggled in the pool for a long time to no avail.

Echidna planned to carry him out, but Xie Ning refused to let him go as he did not want to be regarded as a new kitten, so he had to hang down the tip of his tail and let the boy climb up.

Staring at him, Echidna was delighted and novel.

He is so hot, like a small piece of coal!

The more he looked at him, the happier he became. The snake demon hissed. Regardless of Xie Ning's refusal, he still squeezed him tightly into his arms and swam toward the bedroom.

Echidna has no bed, but as a snake-shaped demon, he has a lair he built himself, which looks like a meteorite sinkhole with many tall rock pillars standing there. The material of the snake's nest is solid bronze and black rock. Only this kind of foundation can withstand his rolling and swimming.

Echidna decided to build a small nest for his humans nearby.

He took his own snake slough. This is a treasure that only the hammer of Hephaestus can hammer into shape. It is stronger than rock and lighter than cowhide. If a mortal sword cuts on it, it will immediately break into thousands of pieces. Poisonous spark. How many heroes asked for it but couldn't get it, how many gods coveted its strangeness. Now, he used these snake sloughs to make a small bed for Xie Ning.

Immediately afterwards, he spread three layers of cowhide, two layers of bear skin, and one layer of tiger skin on the bed, and then used many precious silk cottons sacrificed by the human kingdom to make a soft nest on top.

Okay, Echidna said with satisfaction, If you sleep on this, even if my body falls from a very high place and falls on top of your head, nothing will happen to you!
