Living Up to You c1

Big brother said that the night she was born, the wind was blowing very hard. It even blew open the roof made from grass of their house. Half of the big trees of the village fell and crushed many of those who have bullied him. So that night turned into evil people got their retributions.

Therefore, when the villagers accused her of being a calamity, big brother thought that she was a rare blessing. After burying the already seriously ill mother, holding her, they left the dilapidated village overnight.

From then on, ten years have passed. He took her around the human realm, regarding all the four corners of the world as home.

The reason why they were roaming in the human realm; big brother always said in her ears that if it wasn’t because of her, he would have long gone search for an immortal and went to heavens.

Every time when it’s that time, she will always grab his sleeves and reveal her simple and honest to please smile. Big brother then will touch her head and his eyes will turn more crescent from smiling. He will also specifically reveal his white teeth without the slightest sincerity and say: “Don’t worry, when I raise you till fifteen, get the hairpin ceremony and marry someone, I’ll leave.”

As for regarding all the four corners of the world as home, it’s very easy to say. It’s like the hero’s roaming the jianghu. In fact, there are many bitterness inside. Every time it’s mentioned, big brother will pinch her left cheek and sigh loudly that he misjudged that year. One misjudgment turned into hate of all eternity. Now he can’t even get rid of her.

Jianghu: literary meaning is rivers and lakes. It’s used to describe the community of martial artists

“Big brother doesn’t know sorcery!”

Obviously, little ‘demoness’ only responded to the head villager third sentence when the people were beginning to lit fire. She jumped from the corner of the bed. Her small face became red because of anger.

“When did you see big brother use sorcery? It’s obviously martial arts! Because of saving you, he became sick. You repay kindness with hatred. It’s you who are demons!”

After head villager Zhao heard that, he got even more furious: “Burn!”

The house is made of dry grass and wood. Just a little flame, the fire was easy to ignite.

“Big brother……,” the little demoness anxiously shook big brother’s arm. The fire burned her body’s point to a boiling point, but big brother lying in the bed still didn’t respond.

She always thought that big brother is invincible. He brought her with him away from their hometown carrying their infamy. No matter if it’s natural disaster or human disaster, he could always find a way to solve the problem. In the end, he will knock her head and lament: “One misjudgment turned into hate of all eternity.” He will then drag her by her little hand to change town and make a living.

So, that’s why that day when she saw big brother faint on the bed, she thought that he was teasing her again. The past three day, she was sure that big brother was playing a game with her. Even just now, when the fire was ignited, she still thought that now big brother couldn’t continue to play this joke anymore and will get up to take her away.

But nothing happened.

Her hand gradually turned cold, but big brother’s hand is burning hot.

He was still lying there motionless. No longer as before did he pinch her check when he saw her panic and laughed at her: “Your face will distort.”

The fire was getting bigger and bigger. The cold wind coming through the wall made her whole body cold. She fiercely grabbed big brother’s hot wrists to try to pull him up.

Big brother always laughed at her that her body is small, her head is small, but her strength is bigger than his.

Her strength is still useful. In the past, it was big brother who saved her. This time, it’s her turn to save big brother.

The little ‘demoness’ struggled to move big brother towards her just ten-year-old body. On her face still barely hung a proud smile: “Big brother, this time I’ll take you away.”

Scorching heat wave mixed with the chill of the winter went with the night wind. Suddenly in the quiet village, a scream could be heard. Following that scream more screams could be heard. The little demoness’s whole mind is on carrying big brother to avoid the flames. She didn’t hear the screams. When she went out, she was scared by the scene in front of her that she almost paralyzed and fell on the ground.

About half a month ago, big brother didn’t allow her to go out. She always listened to big brother. From that day on, she didn’t step a foot outside. She only faintly heard that demons appeared in the village. In the beginning, small things like poultry disappeared and died. Later, slowly it became the villagers.

Three days ago, big brother said he will go out to do something. When he came back, he lay on the bed and never stood up again.

Since it’s not big brother who is joking with her, then the thing that let all-powerful big brother fell down is……

Demon.

It’s really demons!

The village at the East Sea saw a big snow that they haven’t seen for hundred years ago. The snow cut the thick black night into various shapes. It transformed into sharp claws and fangs. It laughed at the running villagers and swallowed them up.

The white snowflakes dyed with dark red blood. The original quiet village is now like a hell on earth. All kinds of tragic sounds come and go.

The little demoness was completely frightened. The small body in the cold wind took a long while to respond. Only with the eyes wide open, she looked at the bloody scene. Her small head turned for a long time before, she thought of a question.

What should she do?

It’s always been big brother who protected her. Now big brother fell down; will they be eaten by those demons?

Don’t want……don’t want to be eaten, but what else can she do?

The little ‘demoness’ felt headache. The words big brother once said suddenly popped up in her mind.

Cangjia Mountain is a place where immortals live.

“Go towards the west! Go to Cangjia Mountain,” she shouted at the villagers who are fleeing.

Since in this world there are demons, then maybe there are also immortals. To have the ability to get rid of the demons, of course only the immortals on Cangjia Mountain can do that…….

See, she is not stupid. She is more intelligent than those villagers who are jumping in the bloody mouth of the demons.

However, the villager suddenly quiet down. After her shout, even the wind blowing the snowflakes disappeared.

The little ‘demoness’ still hasn’t react. She was still moving big brother in the direction of the west; until in her ear sounded half surprised half excited sound of laughter.

“She can see me……”

“She actually can see us……”

“How come this mortal can see us?”

……..

Old, young, men, women, all kind of sounds saying the same sentence……She stared with her eyes wide open and looked horrified at shadows of claws coming towards her. The smell of blood almost made her unable to breath.

“She can see us!”

“She is not a mortal!”

“Eat her!”

“Eat her and swallow her spiritual power!”

“Eat her, eat her, eat her…….”

……..

The little ‘demoness’ was forced to take a few steps back because of the stench. It seems……they want to eat her?

“Not right, it’s the man next to her!”

“It’s him. He is the person who tried to attack us three days ago!”

“Quickly! The spiritual power hasn’t left the body yet! Eat him!”

“Eat him, eat him, eat him……”

Countless of shadows opened their bloody mouth. Claws began to gather. Grinning, they slowly approached.

Eat……big brother?

When she finally reacted, a group of shadows like preying an eagle rushed over with a sharp cry. The air filled with hostility. Unspeakable pressure went from her back to the cold air she inhaled, pressing her down.

“Go away!”

She hasn’t figured out yet what happened, when she shouted. Instinctively, she fiercely hugged big brother and protected his head on her chest.

Her big brother, no one can touch him!

Snow fell on the fingertips of the night wind. It’s a bit cold. For a long time, she didn’t hear any sound. Slowly, she opened her eyes. She saw that big brother was still in her arms, she let out a breath of relief. Then she carefully looked up.

The shadows who just gathered together, actually turned into large clouds. The sharp claws and the bloody mouths disappeared. Only a pair of quiet eyes revealing a slight touch of blue without any temperature was there.

‘It’ looked at her.
