[BL, MTL] Unlimited Cycles of Death (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 103: Butterfly Throne (12)

After walking for a long time in the dark, narrow and extremely depressing environment, the two brothers who finally saw the exit couldn't help themselves, and became excited. They immediately climbed up the stairs made of irregular stones one after the other.

After climbing up the stairs, they found that the exit of the secret passage was a small cave hidden behind trees in the forest. The opening of this cave was really very small, only allowing an adult to crawl in or out with his back bent.

The entrance of the cave is covered by weeds as high as a person and tree curtains. In order to prevent insects, ants or animals from entering by mistake, some poisonous plants seem to be specially planted.

Amu knew these poisonous plants. He had seen them in the illustration book in his father's study room. Most of them were plants that would not cause much harm as long as they were not eaten by mistake, but the smell was a bit pungent.

After avoiding these plants and crawling out from the dark passage, the two brothers stood in place and looked around for a while.

It was late at this moment, and night was in the sky. The forest was silent, except for the chirping of insects. Although it was much brighter than the dark passage, it could still be called pitch black.

Ashin said, "Where should we go next?"

"Wait a minute, wait until Dr. He Erqiu brings the other children over. We are not familiar with this forest, and we may get lost if we walk around." Amu put the oil lamp in his hand. He casually placed it on a big rock, wiped the flat side of the stone with his sleeve, and beckoned to his younger brother, "Come and sit down for a rest."

Ashin obediently went to his elder brother and sat down, raised his head but Seeing that his brother was still standing, he asked, "Brother, don't you want to sit down?"

"I don't need it." Amu always treated his brother with unbelievable tenderness, he reached out his hand to touch Ashin's cold face, "Is it still cold? "

Ashin thought for a while: "It's cold in the secret passage, so it won't be cold when you come out."

After Ashin finished speaking, he subconsciously pressed Amu's hand that was stroking his cheek with his left hand. Then Ashin suddenly noticed a detail that he hadn't noticed before...or in other words, it was a detail that he had noticed before but didn't pay attention to.

Ah Mu stuck too close to him.

At this moment, Amu stroked Ashin's cheek and chin with his fingers little by little. The heads were also pressed together, and Ashin and Ashin's foreheads were almost touching each other's foreheads, and the breath sprayed on each other's faces, warm and hot breath.

So close that Ashin felt that Amu would kiss his lips anytime and anywhere.

They are indeed closer than ordinary brothers, probably because they are twins. But even if they are twins, at the age of sixteen, which is considered an adult age in Estonia, they shouldn't be so close. It's like...it's like...

Ashin can't describe it.

He never dared to dissect or understand the truth behind these questions, and he kept pretending that he knew nothing, that he was innocent and carefree.

He didn't dare to investigate, because he vaguely realized that the ending was not what he wanted to witness.

Ashin lowered his eyes, reached out and grabbed Amu's hand that was groping his cheek, and pulled Amu's hands away from his face. Immediately afterwards, Ashin said in a low tone: "Brother, I'm not a child anymore."

Amu seemed to be able to understand Ashin's slight refusal, he was silent for a moment, and he didn't know what was in his dark eyes With complicated emotions, he said for a long time: "In my eyes, you have always been a child."

"Amu! Axin!" Just when the two brothers were in a stalemate, He Erqiu came from the exit of the secret passage over there. The doctor's voice asked, "Are you outside?"

"We are here!" Amu turned his head, separated from his brother, walked quickly to the exit of the dark passage, took an oil lamp to look inside, and saw the familiar face of Dr. He Erqiu .

"Doctor, are there any other children?" Amu asked subconsciously.

Dr. Herqiu's face was a little gloomy, and he hesitated softly: "The situation is too bad. I only brought out four children, and the others..."

After the doctor finished speaking, he stepped aside and let the young people behind him stand up. Amu took a closer look and found that three of the four people who followed Dr. He Erqiu were children about seven or eight years old. They seemed to be children of a certain blacksmith shop and farmers in the village.

And the last one is the person Amu doesn't want to see very much-Suriel, the daughter of Orion Taya.

Su Lier tore off the hem of her dress, turned the long skirt into a short skirt, and tied the strips of cloth to her hands and feet as handguards. She wore what seemed to be her father's coat.

The girl's eyes looked very determined and tenacious from beginning to end.

"Come out quickly." Amu ignored the anxiety in his heart, and let Dr. He Erqiu wait for the group to come out of the secret passage.

As soon as Ashin over there saw Su Lier, his eyes lit up. He first called Dr. He Erqiu, then he put his eyes on Su Lier without any trace, and stammered, calling Su Lier. name.

Su Lier didn't seem to have any interest in Ashin, she just smiled politely at Ashin as a greeting.

Su Lier's attitude made Ashin purse his lips unconsciously, and his heart sank a lot.

Amu, who was next to him, saw this scene in his eyes, and he was slightly relieved. He knows that his younger brother has always liked Su Lier, but Ashin is usually bold and daring, but he is particularly sensitive and anxious in terms of feelings. Touching, only watching from afar.

Compared with those boys in the village who enthusiastically surround Su Lier and flatter him every day, Ashin is really too reserved in this respect. It's no wonder that Su Lier has little impression of him.

Confessing to Su Lier on the day of the 16-year-old coming-of-age banquet, it has been Ashin's decision for so many years, and he can finally muster all the courage to make.

Unfortunately, it was destroyed by a group of pirates who appeared out of nowhere.

In this regard, Amu is more happy to see the results. He doesn't like Su Lier, especially when Ashin becomes more and more infatuated with Su Lier, A Mu's dislike for Su Lier becomes deeper.

To put it bluntly, it sounds like jealousy.

Ah Mu felt that the girl had disrupted the balance between their brothers.

As the person concerned, Su Lier didn't know anything about it. After she, Dr. He Erqiu and several children crawled out of the secret passage, Dr. He Erqiu began to recount the situation. The doctor said, "It's very bad, very bad!"

Ah Xin worried: "What happened to my father!?"

"I don't know." Herqiu shook his head and pulled Sulier beside him, "Mr. Menshak and Sulier's father Taya went to resist those pirates together Before leaving, Taya entrusted Suriel to me. The others seemed to be dead, and there were corpses along the way, and I only had time to take these children away."

Amu said: "Since I brought Surier out Now, without further ado, let's go to the next town for help."

"Yes!" Ashin also responded, "Suriel often goes hunting with her father, so she must be very familiar with this forest, let her take us across Woods, go to the next town to ask for help, it would be best!"

Dr. Herqiu turned to look at Su Lier, and asked, "Su Lier, can you lead the way?"

Su Lier raised her head and looked around Four weeks later, he looked embarrassed: "I can indeed lead the way...but..."

"What? Is there any problem?" Dr. Herqiu asked puzzled.

"This secret passage in Menshak Manor leads directly to the depths of the forest, which is the territory of wolves." Su Lier walked out a few steps, climbed up the relatively open rock, and looked at the surrounding environment for a while, "No Wrong, it is indeed the territory of the wolves, and I saw a trap I set up here several years ago hanging on a tree in the distance."

"My God!" Dr. He Erqiu couldn't help scratching his head when he heard the bad news. Looking at Amu and Axin, "What did your father think, to lead the secret passage for escape to the wolf's den?"

Before Ah Mu and Ashin spoke, Su Lier said, "Maybe I didn't think about it when I built the manor. My father said that this forest was not so lush before, and there were not many wild animals in the forest. These wolves It appeared later."

"Then what should we do?" Amu, who was facing Su Lier, was a little impatient, lowered his voice and said to Su Lier, "Do you have any good ideas? Hunter Su Miss Lier?"

Su Lier squinted her eyes and turned to look at A Mu, and then smiled at A Mu: "Of course."

She stretched out her hand and pulled the coat that belonged to her father-- It was a black fur coat.

Su Lier said: "My father made the clothes on me from bear skin, which is the black bear we hunted not long ago. My father took it off and made this clothes. Only the blood stains were washed away, and there were still some blood stains left on it." There is a strong smell of black bears."

"Bears and wolves will occasionally fight, and occasionally avoid each other to avoid disputes. They are very smart beasts." Su Lier said, "You follow me later, I will take you as far as possible to avoid wolf dens and tell you the correct direction. If you encounter wolves on the way, I will imitate the barking of bears to attract their attention. At that time, you only need to flee as soon as possible in the direction I specified. " Herqiu

felt bad when he heard it: "Then what do you do!?"

This forest is like being familiar with my backyard. There are still many traps set by my father in the forest. If I feel bad, I will lead the wolves to the trap. You can get out of danger."

Although Su Lier's words were full of confidence, He Erqiu still felt uneasy, but at this moment, He Erqiu didn't have much choice.

He Erqiu looked at the people around him. Except for Amu, Axin and Su Lier, the others were all children under ten years old.

Although Ah Mu and Ashin are two boys, they are usually carefully raised by Mr. Menshaq in their own big manor, and they live a life of young masters with no worries about food and clothing. The two young masters suddenly took up weapons and wolves Confrontation is obviously foolish and absurd, a deadly act.

But let Su Lier, a girl, fight against the wolves alone, He Erqiu couldn't feel at ease, he gritted his teeth and said to Su Lier: "If you encounter wolves, let me act together with you, if anything happens, I can protect you for a while, and in the future... I can explain to your father Taya."

"No." Unexpectedly, Su Lier refused without thinking, and she even looked at He Erqiu with disgust: "You It's useless to me, and it will get in the way if you follow me, and you may even need me to protect you."

"But..." He Erqiu was dumbfounded, trying to save himself a little face.

Su Lier interrupted him mercilessly: "Doctor, this forest is a battlefield for me. I am a soldier on this battlefield. I am never afraid of fighting or death. If I were afraid, I would have You won't learn to be a hunter from my father."

After that, Surier smiled at the doctor: "So, please believe me?"

So Herqiu kept silent under Surier's smile Needless to say, it was regarded as acquiescing to Su Lier's proposal, and the group of people embarked on the road to move forward after a short discussion.

Suriel walked and talked, and told the doctor and Amu Ashin the specific direction of the town. She pointed to the sky above the forest, and she could see the sky shrouded in darkness through the gaps in the dense leaves. Moon-Tonight is the night of the full moon.

"Follow the Polaris in the sky and go north to get out of the forest, and then walk a hundred meters to see the town." Su Lier pointed out the Polaris in the sky to everyone, "But since there are many people in this forest The trap left by my father, so when you are leaving, I suggest you explore the road with a longer branch, use it to push away the weeds, and test the traps... or snakes hidden in the grass."

Amu He said, "Your father is really a 'trap master'."

Su Lier seemed to take this sentence as a compliment, and even smiled at A Mu again: "His skill in making traps is excellent, I only learned a few superficial... But to be honest, the reason why Dad made so many traps is because In order to deal with these wolves, for some reason, the number of wolves has increased recently, in order to prevent them from easily running out of the forest, so many traps have been set up around here."

"Wolves... are there more and more?" Amu His eyes were dark and precipitated, and seemed to contain unknown emotions that could not be analyzed, "Then you should be more careful."

Ashin, who was always lively and cheerful, remained silent all the time, and did not speak. He also lowered his head and walked slowly beside Amu, occasionally raising his head to look at Suriel and his brother Amu.

Sulier and Amu, who were leading the way, began to chat for no reason. Sulier was in charge of exploring the way with a wooden stick, and Amu was holding his oil lamp to illuminate her.

The picture of the two standing together is inexplicably harmonious.

No, don't overthink it.

Ashin comforted himself silently in his heart. He knew that it was impossible for his brother to like Su Lier, because his brother actually...

Thinking of this, Ashin couldn't help clenching his fists.

Wouldn't it make you feel shameless? Relying on his elder brother's kindness to him, he enjoys his elder brother's love unscrupulously while pursuing the girl he likes as he pleases.

Ashin's mood fell into a sudden trough. But at this moment, the wolves that everyone had been guarding against did not appear. Instead, the pirates who landed in Estonia and entered their village appeared behind them!

Holding torches and guns, these pirates shouted loudly in a foreign language that Su Lier and the others could not understand, and followed the traces left by Su Lier and his party in the forest.

"How did these pirates catch up!?" He Erqiu looked back and saw the faint flames approaching from behind, and was shocked, "Could it be that they discovered the secret passage in the manor, so they followed along the secret passage!? "

Su Lier was also a little panicked, but she calmed down quickly. She climbed up a rock and stood up and down to look over there: "There are not many pursuers, and there are less than ten people by visual inspection. It may be that they have discovered a secret passage, so I'm following you ."

Amu also waited and watched, and said to Su Lier: "Miss Hunter, they are making all kinds of noisy noises, and they are also yelling, how likely is it to attract wolves?"

Su Lier smiled: "The chances are very high. Maybe we can use these pursuers as bait. When they become bait for the pack of wolves, we can leave this forest more easily and happily.

" As Sulier said it went smoothly, there was no need for Sulier and his party to intervene too much. They just need to be careful and try their best to avoid the traps that may be hidden in the grass, and just go straight forward.

As expected, the group of pirates chasing soldiers behind them was targeted by the pack of wolves not long after. Lone wolves or wolves with fewer than five wolves may not attack multiple targets, but a pack of more than a dozen wolves seems to be more powerful. very different.

When Su Lier and the others were still advancing silently, they heard the sudden exclamation of the pirates behind them, mixed with the howling of wolves, followed by continuous gunshots.

"They carry guns." Su Lier frowned and said, "It's a little bit bad." He Erqiu said, "

Does it mean that the wolves will be scared away by the gunfire?"

"No, wolves have a strong desire for revenge. "Suriel's face became serious, "My father and I have been fighting in this forest all year round. These wolves were afraid of gunshots earlier, but they have become immune to this kind of gunshots that will kill them. 'Extremely angry, shooting near the wolf den will irritate them."

Amu said: "Does this mean that there will be more wolves outflanking?"

"Yes." Su Lier waved to Amu and others, "Let's hurry up, don't fall into the siege of wolves."

Immediately afterwards, the group of people quickened their pace, stumbling and trying to make a way in this dense forest, but sometimes the more anxious people are, the more trouble they will find. door to door.

Sure enough, Su Lier and the others encountered wolves. When they walked to a relatively open place, there was a small rustling sound in the grass. Amu picked up the oil lamp in his hand, and sure enough, he saw a few long wolves in front of him. A very strong wolf.

These wolves are taller than the large sled dogs raised by some farmers in the village, with their drooping tails swinging from side to side, the fur on their bodies is black and white, and under the faint light, their eyes are a little scary yellow.

"Do as I said before!" Sulier raised her voice and shouted to He Erqiu, Amu and others, "Now, run for me immediately!"

After saying that, Sulier rolled up her thick fur coat, Agile like a galloping rabbit, she and He Erqiu's group split into two groups, and she ran in the other direction, making bear-like howls at the wolves while running- - I have to say that she learned a lot.

The wolves were indeed attracted by her. They seemed not to know whether to chase Su Lier or those humans. After hesitating for a moment, they followed Su Lier and ran away. Su Lier's bear barking was probably provocative. the taste of.

After Su Lier lured the wolves away, Herqiu and his group, who were able to escape, continued to walk in the direction of the North Star that Su Lier had pointed out. But after walking for a while, He Erqiu's face became darker and darker. Finally, he seemed unable to bear it anymore, and said to Amu and Amu: "You take the children away, and I will go back to find Su Lier."

Amu said: "She doesn't need your help, she said it herself."

"Maybe she doesn't need me to deal with wolves, but she needs me to deal with those pirates chasing soldiers." He took out a pistol from his pocket.

"Doctor, you actually have a gun?" Amu asked in surprise.

He Erqiu said: "Of course I have, but this gun has few bullets, so it may not be of much use."

After that, He Erqiu kept silent and listened silently to the battle between the pirates chasing soldiers and the wolves over there. when the movement is made.

He Erqiu said: "Those pirates are very tenacious, and they seem to be able to survive being besieged by wolves for a while. I'm afraid they carry a lot of firepower. After being attracted by the gunshots, the surrounding wolves probably surrounded them. Even if Su Lier can Using the trap to get rid of part of it, it may be difficult for her to escape, so I am going to help her, maybe this is going to die, but bless me."

Amu calmly said: "I bless you, doctor."

Ashin said in horror: "Wait, doctor! It didn't work for you in the past!"

"You'll find out if you try it." He Erqiu glanced at A Mu and A Xin, as well as the other children who had been huddled together in fear. .

"Protect these children, Ah Mu, and Ashin, I know you can do it."

At this point, Dr. He Erqiu also followed Su Lier's footsteps and ran in another direction, so the only one left in the team was Amu Ashin, and three children who followed them obediently and dared not speak.

Amu didn't waste any time, he pulled Ashin and moved on with the child.

On the way, Ashin looked very preoccupied, and couldn't help but said to Amu: "Father... the doctor, and Su Lier... are they really all right?"

Amu comforted his younger brother in a tone that hardly seemed to be comforting : "It's okay."

"I feel...I'm useless, I can't help you with anything." Ashin said again, "Suriel is beautiful and strong, I...I'm not good enough for her."

"How could it be? Ashin also has the advantages of Ashin." Amu still looked at his younger brother tenderly.

Ashin said: "You're just coaxing me, I know."

"I'm not coaxing you, for me, Ashin is very, very good."

"Brother, do you like me?" Ashin asked coldly .

Amu paused for a moment, then replied: "Of course I like you."

"It's not the kind of love from relatives...I'm asking you, do you like me?" Ashin asked again.

This time Amu was stunned.

Then A Mu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. He hesitated for a while before replying: "Is the answer to this question important to you?"

"I don't know." A Dao said, " But I want to know."

"If I answer yes... how will you respond to me?"

Ashin seemed to muster up his courage, and looked up at his brother: "This shouldn't be, brother, it can't be like this!"

"I I knew you would say that." Amu smiled wryly, "So...Compared to me, you still prefer a girl like Su Lier?"

"I...I didn't mean that..." Ashin didn't know what to say. To express himself correctly, he was eager to find the right language in his mind: "We are brothers, we can't be together..."

"Yeah, you like girls, of course we can't be together..." Amu The ending was almost anticipated.

"No... brother... I..." Ashin wanted to explain something, but at this moment, they heard the howling of wolves from the forest behind them again, and this sound was very close to them.

"Run!" Amu stretched out his hand and grabbed the hands of the two children behind him. Ashin instinctively held the last one, and the two of them quickly ran northward with the children.

After walking for so long, in fact, the forest has been almost covered by them. It seems that they can see the open plain in front of them, and the fires belonging to the town are still shining in the farther place.

When they ran to the edge of the forest, the wolves behind seemed to follow. Amu and Axin could almost hear the rattling sound of wolf paws running on the ground. Amu and Axin had no choice but to push the children forward and point to the wolf. The flames of the town ahead made them yell and run, while the two brothers stayed behind, turning to face the wolves following.

Fortunately, there are not many, only three.
