Chapter 31 The Little Black Goat
==================
Lin Qiao urged: "Look."
Arthur was particularly stubborn: "No."
Lin Qiao: "?"
It's time for rebellion, right?
Not only did Arthur not look at it himself, but he also forbade Lin Qiao to look at it. With a strong posture, he got in between the two of them.
Lin Qiao's eyes went dark, the blue sky and white clouds, and the young Aries disappeared without a trace, only Arthur's tall and broad back could be seen.
He touched the tip of his nose and followed helplessly.
……
The shepherd boy lives at the foot of the snow mountain.
There was a pine log house with a snow-covered roof and smoke billowing from the chimney.
The shepherd boy drove the sheep back to the sheepfold.
The cloud-like little sheep screamed "baa-baa" and huddled together.
The shepherd boy closed the wooden fence, turned his head, and said, "My name is Lan Nuo, and I am a shepherd from Daxue Mountain."
Lin Qiao: "I'm Joe." He took a look and wanted Arthur to introduce himself.
Arthur probably didn't know what human social etiquette is, so he just stood aside, looking like an old god, as if he didn't hear what the shepherd boy said at all.
Lin Qiao could only say, "This is Arthur."
Lan Nuo smiled slightly, his eyes were clean and clearer than falling snow: "Arthur, Joe, hello."
Lin Qiao: "Hello, hello."
Lan Nuo opened the door of the wooden house and invited, "Come and sit first."
Lin Qiao walked over.
The wooden house is not big, and the layout inside is very lifelike.
A small fireplace was burning, a rocking chair stood beside it, and woolen blankets were hung in front of the windows to keep out the freezing frost and snow outside.
Lan Nuo opened the chair and brought another plate of fruit.
On the icy snow-capped mountains, fresh melons and fruits are especially precious.
The bright red apples lie on the white porcelain bone plate, and the dew rolls gently, exuding a sweet aroma.
Lin Qiao also smelled this fragrance.
He obviously wasn't hungry, but his throat was inexplicably tight, and he couldn't help looking at the apple.
But when he thought of Lan Nuo herding sheep on such a desolate snowy mountain, maybe his family conditions were very poor, so he managed to save a few apples and use them to entertain guests.
Lin Qiao made up his mind and successfully suppressed his desire.
Lan Nuo put down the apple and waited for these two people to take the initiative, but after waiting and waiting, no one did it.
He took the initiative to push the fruit plate towards Lin Qiao: "Eat it."
Lin Qiao quickly refused politely: "No need."
Lan Nuo began to sell: "This is the apple I saved in autumn. It has been kept in the cellar. After hibernation, it must be sweet and delicious."
Lin Qiao: Look, what a familiar picture.You can directly visualize the scene when you went to a relative's house with poor conditions when you were a child.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Qiao couldn't move anymore, and even stepped back a little: "It's really not necessary, let's just ask for directions, don't be so polite."
Lano became anxious.
These apples hide the love elixir of the Moon Goddess. Just eating an apple can easily reverse a person's concept of love.
From love to hate.
From hate to love.
Everything was in his plan, but why did these two people refuse to touch these apples?
Could it be that the love elixir inside has been discovered?
It shouldn't be, he also deliberately used the magic of camouflage and seduction, so that people would involuntarily want to taste the apple the first time they saw it.
Lan Nuo didn't believe in evil, he picked up the apples directly, and each of them stuffed one: "You eat!"
Arthur was still out of the situation, looking down at the apple in his hand a little dullly.
Before he could do anything, the apple was taken away
Lin Qiao held an apple in one hand, stuffed it back to Lan Nuo, and said sincerely: "No need, you're welcome!"
Lano was dumbfounded.
He was really rude, he just wanted to kill people.
But this person has been refusing to fall into the trap. Could it be that he has already noticed something?
Lan Nuo's heart tightened, and he looked at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao smiled slightly, calmly.
Lan Nuo couldn't see what this person was thinking for a while, and wanted to try again, so he threw the apple back again.
Lin Qiao still refused to answer: "It's really unnecessary—"
In the process of you pushing and pushing, I don't know who missed it, Apple dropped his hand directly, and fell heavily to the ground with a "slap".
Lin Qiao and Lan Nuo looked down at the same time.
The apple rolled twice on the floor, overwhelmed, and a gap was created.
The translucent juice splashes everywhere, and you can smell the aroma of fermented wine.
Lan Nuo's expression changed.
It’s over.
The love elixir hidden inside leaked out.
He stared at Lin Qiao closely, his palms were sweating nervously, thinking frantically what to do?
During the unbearable waiting, Lin Qiao was heard sighing.
The back of Lan Nuo's neck suddenly felt cold.
Why is he sighing?
Was it really discovered?
Lan Nuo's eyes flickered and his face was pale as he kept making up his mind.
Of course Lin Qiao didn't know that there were so many dramas in Lan Nuo's heart.
He just thought it was a pity that the apple broke.
After all, for a shepherd, apples are very precious fruits.
They took out the best things to entertain the guests, but they were broken like this.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiao couldn't help but sigh again.But in order not to make Lan Nuo feel more distressed, he picked up the broken apple and deliberately downplayed it: "It seems that it has been stored for too long, and it has already been spoiled."
Lan Nuo thought desperately: This sentence is a warning to him.
The gods told Lan Nuo that his mission was to seduce the incarnation of the Lord of the Abyss, so that the black-haired boy should not be taken seriously.
If necessary, this black-haired boy can be easily killed.
Unexpectedly, the incarnation of the Lord of the Abyss looked ordinary, but the black-haired boy was so difficult to deal with.
Lan Nuo broke into a cold sweat: "I see, I'll take it right away."
He picked up the fruit plate and ran away in a hurry.
Lin Qiao was still surprised, and said in a low voice: "He seems to be quite afraid of me, do I look so scary?"
Arthur said slowly, "Jojo is pretty, not scary."
Lin Qiao rubbed her cheek with her hand, feeling embarrassed.He guessed: "Did I drop the apple and scare him?"
Arthur lowered his eyelids, scanning the wet puddles of water on the floor.
He smelled something different.
Weird, disgusting taste.
Mixed with the sweetness of apples, it feels even more nauseating.
Arthur said softly, "Get away from him."
Lin Qiao didn't think much about it, and thought that Arthur was sulking again.
In the past, when he had more contact with those believers of light, Arthur would show such an expression.
He coaxed: "I'll just ask for directions, don't think too much about it."
Arthur looked at Lin Qiao fixedly.
Lin Qiao leaned over helplessly: "Okay, I like Arthur the most. I swear, I won't like anyone else."
Arthur's eyes flickered, and he asked correctively, "Which god do you swear to?"
Lin Qiao: ...I said it casually.
In his world, there are no gods, and promises come as soon as you open your mouth, without even thinking about them.
Now that Arthur asked me this, I realized the importance of the matter.
"I..." Lin Qiao hesitated, "I promise you."
"Not the Lord of the Abyss, nor any gods, just you——Arthur."
"I promise you, okay?"
Arthur's eyelashes flickered.
He seemed a little shy, turned his face away, and gave a soft "hmm".
Is this "mutual deity"?
At this moment, he is not the Lord of the Abyss who is cursed by the gods and feared by everyone.
He's just JoJo's Arthur.
A god that belongs exclusively to Jojo.
……
Lan Nuo didn't return to the cabin immediately after dealing with the chopped apples, but wandered outside for a while.
He finds things a little difficult.
The love elixir given to him by the Moon Goddess is used up, and there is no new one for the time being, so the next step is to change the plan.
It's just... how to cheat the favor of the Lord of the Abyss?
Lan Nuo didn't think of a reason, seeing that the time was almost up, he had no choice but to go back to the wooden house again.
He sat back in the chair.
Lin Qiao said politely, "You're back."
Probably the previous trick was confused by Lin Qiao's mistake. Lan Nuo felt that Lin Qiao was not as simple as it seemed, and every word he said had a hidden meaning.
So he fidgeted and hesitated, "I didn't do anything..."
Lin Qiao comforted: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask how to leave the snow mountain."
Lan Nuo looked like a frightened little sheep, his eyes widened, and he tried hard to remember: "Leaving the snow mountain... well, every seven days, there will be a teleportation array leaving the snow mountain."
He counted with his fingers, "Today is the sixth day."
The teleportation array will be activated tomorrow, and then you can leave the snow mountain.
Then tonight, we can only stay in the shepherd's hut.
Lin Qiao said, "Do you mind if we stay here for one night?"
Lano: "No, I don't mind."
It was Lan Nuo's plan to stop them.
It's just that how to go next has to be carefully considered.
……
The cabin is very small, only one room, no guest room.
Lano said that the room can be given up for them to live in.
Lin Qiao refused: "Let's make do on the sofa for one night."
A fire crackled and crackled in the fireplace.
The sofa was wide and covered with a layer of soft lambswool. Lin Qiao huddled inside, unwilling to get up warmly.
He yawned and tilted his head.
Arthur sat in a wooden chair by the fire.
The wooden chair was cold, and he sat upright, even if the light of the fire shone on him, it couldn't bring any warmth.
Lin Qiao thought of something, reached out and patted the armrest of the sofa, and a crisp sound echoed in the cabin.
Arthur was indeed attracted, and looked sideways.
Lin Qiao greeted affectionately: "Arthur, come here."
Arthur stood up and walked slowly to Lin Qiao's side.
One is standing, the other half lying on the sofa.
Arthur was already taller than Lin Qiao, but now he is standing here in a daze, which makes people feel condescending.
Lin Qiao looked up for a while, and felt that her neck was a little sore, so she hooked her fingers and said, "Come over here, and lower your head."
Arthur lowered his head.
The sofa was so narrow that Lin Qiao could barely lie on it by himself, but even so, it was still a bit short.The wool felt was pulled away, revealing a white and thin ankle.
Arthur's eyes sank, and he half-knelt down.
It's exactly level now.
Lin Qiao turned sideways, stretched out his hand to grab Arthur, and pulled him upwards.
Although he was not strong enough, Arthur could not help leaning forward.
The two of them squeezed into the narrow and crowded sofa, almost sticking to each other tightly, and the breaths were intertwined with each other.
Arthur's pupils tightened slightly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing Arthur's cramped appearance, Lin Qiao couldn't help but smile, lowered his head, and kissed his forehead.
Arthur asked, "Why did you kiss me?"
Lin Qiao tilted her head: "Is there any reason for this? I will kiss if I want to."
He clearly knew that Arthur was an omnipotent god, but when he saw that lonely silhouette, he couldn't help but love him.
Poor puppy.
I want to kiss and rub.
He thought so, so he did it.
In this model, I feel that the hand feels a bit wrong.
Lin Qiao leaned over and brushed away the dark red hair on her forehead with her fingers, revealing a piece of skin on her forehead.
There is an uneven spot on the skin.
It was that the horn that was cut off last time hadn't grown back yet, and it was still a short stump, which was on the forehead, which was a bit dazzling.
He stretched out a finger and pressed it lightly: "Won't the horns grow any longer?"
Arthur's voice was hoarse: "No."
Lin Qiao's fingertips were soft, not only pressing on the stump, but also kneading the surrounding skin.
Arthur was stiff and unable to move.
Lin Qiao stared at the residual horn. Even after such a long time, she could still see how ruthless the person who cut the horn was.
"What on earth are you thinking." He muttered, "Doesn't it hurt?"
Arthur: "It doesn't hurt."
For him, pain was a constant thing, and he was used to it.
Even the pain of cutting horns can be tolerated.
But it's weird.
He could endure endless pain, but when he was treated gently by Lin Qiao, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Arthur felt numb all over, as if he had been poisoned by acid-eating ants. It was numb and hard to resist.
Lin Qiao said seriously: "No matter what, don't hurt yourself in the future. Okay?"
Arthur's Adam's apple rolled up and down: "Okay."
Lin Qiao stroked the top of Arthur's head reassuringly, as if stroking a puppy.
He said, "Good."
Arthur put his arms around Lin Qiao.
Thus, he found a moment of peace amidst the pain and wailing that had lasted for thousands of years.
He slowly closed his eyes, as if falling asleep.
Along with the crackling of firewood, Lin Qiao hummed an out-of-tune tune.
……
In a quiet corner.
Lan Nuo took all this into his eyes, clenched his fingers, and his expression flickered.
To be honest, Lan Nuo has never taken Lin Qiao seriously. After all, he is only a human being, and he is no match for him—he is the child of the gods, the most perfect creation on this continent.
But after the scene just now, he didn't dare to underestimate Lin Qiao anymore.
Not only did Lin Qiao see through the love elixir hidden in the apple, but he was even able to play with the terrifying Lord of the Abyss in his palm.
It's really... too powerful.
So, how should he complete the mission of the gods and snatch the Lord of the Abyss from Lin Qiao?
Lan Nuo had a headache and bit his fingers harder.
It seemed that he had no way to surpass Lin Qiao at all.
Thinking about it, a sudden inspiration flashed.
Since he couldn't surpass, why didn't he imitate Lin Qiao directly?
Lan Nuo felt that he was prettier than Lin Qiao, so as long as he could find a way to imitate, it would definitely be enough to replace the rightful lord in the heart of the lord of the abyss.
Thinking of this, Lan Nuo's eyes gradually lit up.
……
Snowflakes are falling slowly outside the window.
Lin Qiao didn't know when she fell asleep, but was suddenly awakened by the noise from outside.He rubbed his eyes and found himself lying on Arthur's body.
Look down.
Arthur's breathing was smooth, and his dark red hair was disheveled. When he was asleep, he looked like a flawless statue.
Lin Qiao didn't want to disturb Arthur's sleep, so he walked down lightly.He put on his furry coat and reached out to open the door.
creak-
The wind blew in with snowflakes.
Maybe after staying by the warm fireplace for too long, Lin Qiao didn't feel cold, but instead felt refreshed.
He closed the door behind his back and approached the place where the sound came from.
The sound came from the sheepfold next to the cabin.
Lin Qiao left one footprint after another on the snow.
At a glance, I found a different white in the snow.
Crouching down to see, it turned out to be a lost lamb.
It's really small, like a suckling dog, and can be lifted up with one hand.
The little lamb was probably lost with the flock, and a sheep shivered in a corner, making immature crowing from time to time.
It heard footsteps, opened a pair of watery eyes, and watched timidly.
Weird.
Lin Qiao put it in his arms directly, ready to release it in the sheep pen.
As soon as he entered the sheepfold, he found that Lan Nuo was also here.
He had a good impression of this shepherd boy with the same black hair and black eyes, so he took the initiative to say hello.
Lan Nuo raised his head and saw Lin Qiao and the lamb in his arms.
Lin Qiao put the little lamb down, and asked casually, "What are you doing?"
Lan Nuo lowered his eyelids and said softly, "I'm playing with the lamb."
Lin Qiao took a closer look and found a black lamb among a group of snow-white sheep.
Lan Nuo gently stroked the back of the little black goat: "This is a black goat that represents ominousness and curse. It has been abandoned and discriminated against by the flock. No sheep is willing to play with it."
The little black sheep leaned closer and made a "bleat" sound.
Lin Qiao's expression was complicated, and he wanted to say something, but stopped.
Lan Nuo sighed, turned his face to the side, revealing a touch of sadness: "Do you also think that the little black goat is an ominous demon?"
He looked like a Madonna in mourning, but his heart was leaping for joy.
Because Arthur was standing not far from the sheepfold, he could hear the conversation here.
If Lin Qiao agrees with this "ominous" statement, then he feels that demons are evil existences in his heart, and he always pretended to be in front of the Lord of the Abyss before.
This can bring out his innocence even more.
If you don't agree...it doesn't matter, he also has a way to make Lin Qiao say what he shouldn't say.
Lan Nuo held the little black goat in his arms, and his movements became more gentle: "Poor little black goat, in my opinion, all goats are the same, there is no difference."
Lin Qiao finally couldn't help but speak: "No..."
Lano: "Not what?"
Lin Qiao: "Well, you are not a sheep, how do you know what sheep think?"
Lano: "?"
Lin Qiao: "Do sheep really know so much?"
Lano: "???"
Lin Qiao: "Why do humans always put their own complicated thoughts on the sheep? What did the sheep do wrong? It just wants to eat grass."
The Lano people fainted.
He thought of many possibilities and prepared countermeasures, but he never expected that Lin Qiao would play cards against common sense.
Lin Qiao made the final decision: "Whether it's black or white, aren't they all sheep? If you really have nothing to do, go find a factory to work in."
Lan Nuo: "I...you..."
He was dizzy, "Don't you think the black goat is evil?"
Lin Qiao stared at him for a while before answering: "You have a big problem."
Lano: "Huh?"
How did it become a problem for him?
Lin Qiao clenched a fist with one hand and slammed it on the palm of the other hand, suddenly realizing: "It was you who looked down on the little black goat in your heart, and came to play with the little black goat in order to satisfy your charity and compassion."
"Actually, it doesn't need it at all."
Lan Nuo: "Why don't you need..."
Before he could finish speaking, the little lamb that Lin Qiao was holding just now came over and gave the little black goat a kick with his little head.
One: "Meh."
Another one: "Baa baa."
The two lambs got together and went to graze happily.
Lin Qiao: "Look."
Lan Nuo blushed and tried to explain: "I didn't look down on it... It's just that the black goat has always been a symbol of the devil, evil and ominous, so I think you feel the same way."
Lin Qiao was speechless.
He originally had a good impression of Lan Nuo, but he didn't expect that he had a problem with his mind.
Said bluntly: "That's what you think."
Lano: "Then what do you think of the little black goat?"
On the surface, he was asking about the "little black goat", but in fact he was asking about his attitude towards demons.
He always felt that Lin Qiao was faking it.
How could someone fall in love with the Lord of the Abyss?
It was such an evil, ominous and dead being.
If the gods hadn't given him a mission, otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to approach the abyss.
Lin Qiao: "?" He blinked and said naturally, "Small, very cute."
Lano: ...?
Lin Qiao wiped the corner of her mouth: "It's small and tender, add some cumin, and the children next door will cry."
Lano:? ? ?
After Lin Qiao finished commenting, she turned her head and saw Arthur standing in the snow.
Arthur had stood there for a while, and a thin layer of snow fell on his shoulders.
Lin Qiao waved: "Arthur!"
Arthur came over, stepping on the snow with every step, making a "rustling" sound.
Lin Qiao: "Look - there is a little black sheep here."
Arthur looked over.
The small black goat arches and arches, which can be seen at a glance. It is a strange species in the flock.
Lin Qiao gestured: "That little horn is exactly the same as yours."
The little black goat has horns.
Because it is not yet fully developed, it is only a little bit pushed out.
And there was only a little residual horn on the top of Arthur's head.
Comparing the two, it cannot be said that they are very similar, but they can only be said to be exactly the same.
Arthur looked away.
The little black goat seemed to sense the danger, and got behind another little lamb.
Lan Nuo felt uneasy.
This person dares to compare the Lord of the Abyss to a useless little lamb, he must be angry.
Maybe it will directly use the darkness to swallow up this ignorant human youth without leaving even a trace of wreckage.
Most definitely.
Lan Nuo was both afraid and looking forward to it.
Afraid of the anger of the Lord of the Abyss.
The expectation is that if Lin Qiao seeks death by himself, it will save him from doing it.
in silence.
Arthur finally spoke.
He said seriously, "Jojo, I'm not young."
Lin Qiao: ...?
Not only are you not small, but you have big problems.
