Ji Huan slowly sat in the spring water.
His skin was still very sensitive to the touch. His body was extremely hot, and his body was shaking slightly. In the end, A Jin supported him from behind, and Ji Huan sat down against the pool wall.
Jihuan closed his eyes, his eyelashes were black and long, although they were wet with water vapor, they were still stubbornly curled up.
Although very quiet, his expression now is relaxed and comfortable.
Just like Heidan felt comfortable and comfortable in the hot springs because he followed them in the hot springs since he was a child, Jihuan also grew up in the hot springs with his grandfather. The pool at home was there very early. When they were young, they would still soak in a pool. Grandpa would sit outside and pick up spring water with his hands and pour it on him and his sister.
Jihuan has been a quiet child since he was a child. When Grandpa watered him, he would like to touch his body like an adult. Most of the time, he would sit quietly until his face was flushed red before going out.
The elder sister is not like this. She prefers to splash in the water. My sister learned swimming in the hot spring pool.
"What are you thinking?" When Ji Huan closed his eyes, A Jin's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"I think of my old home. My home used to have a hot spring pool. The water is blue-white and smells good. Grandpa said that it is the source of all hot springs in the town." Ji Huan replied softly. It was close, so Ah Jin listened effortlessly.
"It means that everyone else washes in the hot spring where your grandfather washes his feet, right?" Jin raised his eyebrows.
"How do you know?" Hearing him ask, Ji Huan opened his eyes strangely.
His eyes were dark and wet, as if they had just been washed with water. There was a slight blush around his eyes, and with his moist eyes, it seemed that his eyes could talk more and more.
Ah Jin stretched out his hand and touched the corner of his eye lightly.
He didn't answer Jihuan's question.
At that time, he was in a place separated by a wall from Jihuan, his whole body was rotting, and he was about to die. No amount of spices could cover up the stench of death on his body. Surrounded by monsters waiting for an opportunity, those monsters composed of "qi"... Huge And ugly, they don't even have a fixed shape, and they don't have a clear mind. The only thought in their minds is to devour a powerful monster that is about to die, and then absorb his energy. If you are lucky, you can make yourself stronger and give birth to sanity. If it is successfully transformed into a demon with a body, if it is unlucky, it will explode and die, become the energy freed in the air, and finally become the food for other monsters, or become the most basic monster.
For a long time, he was surrounded by such things.
He is very used to it.
Until he saw Jihuan.
It just felt "clean" at first.
Jihuan's surroundings are really "clean".
There are no monsters and no traces of contamination.
In that world, this situation is extremely rare,
The theme of that world is still humans and all kinds of animals. Monsters belong to a higher level of life. They can hardly be recognized by human eyes and cannot be captured. There are not many monsters in that world. More It is a scattered body that exists in the air in the form of "power". This kind of scattered body will unconsciously parasitize around human beings. Many diseases of human beings come from this, and some people have obtained power higher than other human beings because of this, no matter what. , In the human world, as long as the living body is still alive, they will definitely be contaminated with some of these "magic qi".
Most monsters and humans can't see it, but he can.
For him: that world is gray.
Until he saw Jihuan.
It's not that he hasn't witnessed the coexistence of humans and monsters, but it's mostly a symbiotic relationship that benefits each other. A human being like Xiang Jihuan who cleans every day is unique, as if the monsters around him worked hard every day to clean up all the "dirty things" around him.
This kind of self-interested, self-interested thing... He was a little hard to understand at first.
However, the behavior of the little monster later was easier to understand: it was just an instinct to protect the food by capturing the subtle "magic energy" that entangled Jihuan's body every day.
I don't know if Jihuan himself noticed it, but in the eyes of the newly born black egg, at first... he was just a big and delicious piece of food.
Look at Ji Huan, who is comfortable and closed her eyes again, and look at the black egg in front of him who is swimming downstream under Grandpa's care.
Jin, that is, A Jin, felt emotional again.
