Matter of Love novel Chapter 672

"Okay, let's go to find our opponent." Henard led Eden into a forest.

While walking in the forest, Henard talked about the rules of their circle to Eden behind him, "first of all, this part of our circle is only the periphery, and the youngest one should be you, only five years old. Our biggest opponent is now fourteen years old. Every year, there will be a competition here. The winner will enter the next level, and the loser He turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind." Speaking of this, Henard's eyes gradually blurred.

Time always passed. It seemed that he had just arrived here. At that time, he was standing in Eden's position, and in front of him was a thin but firm figure.

He always remembered that on that summer night, fireflies came one after another and cicadas chirped one after another. At that time, he said, "that's how the world works. Only disappointment can give hope. When people were in darkness, if they couldn't find the light, they could only wait for their eyes to adapt to the darkness. Henard, promise me that you will survive in a month."

Henard didn't want to remember the competition a month later, but he could easily remember it.

The bloody scene, the broken limb, the shocking scene, and the desperation in people's eyes made other's scalp tingle. And Suddenly, one figure appeared in front of Henald and helped him block the sharp blade with his own body.

"Henald, don't cry. You are a man. You can't cry."

"I did this not only for you, but also for myself. Because I hope that you are the extension of me, so please go on for me."

As time passed, the man's face gradually blurred. In the past, it only took him a second to remember the face, but now it took ten seconds or twenty seconds to remember it.

But now what he remembered most was the scene he didn't care much at that time. The fireflies, the cicadas' cries, and the sounds of fighting. Somehow, people's memory was like this. The more you wanted to remember, the less you could remember. And the things you didn't care about at the beginning were so clear now.

Henard suddenly closed his eyes. What happened in the past was the last thing he wanted to think of. But he didn't know why he would think of that scene every time he closed his eyes or talked about the competition. The man stood in front of him and blocked the sharp blade for him. Blood dripped down his body onto his face.

The blood was so thick and the smell was so fishy.

"I think you need some help now." Eden followed Henard for a long time. When Henard began to talk about the competition, Eden heard the sob of the person in front of him.

Eden thought that he must have thought of the unbearable memory, so he was so painful. Although Eden didn't know what made him so painful, Eden didn't want to experience it at all.

Henard suddenly realized that he had cried. He wiped his dirty face with his sleeve casually and said with a smile, "nothing. It's just that my nose is a little stuffy."

Eden was just a kid after all. He believed what Henald said. Hearing this, Eden immediately said, "then you should take the cold medicine as soon as possible. It's not good to delay it all the time."

As soon as Henard heard Eden's innocent and lovely voice, he burst into laughter. "Ha ha, you are really a child. But I have to tell you, in Xiaoyao Island, if you are sick or in trouble, you can only survive by yourself, because the medicine you take may not be the medicine you can take." Speaking of this, Henard couldn't help but cover his stomach.

Some sad images appeared in his mind again, but he quickly suppressed them. He smiled with self mockery. It was true that after staying here for a long time, he could no longer find the happiness he once had.

The two of them kept walking. They didn't know how long it took before they walked out of the forest.

There was an open space in the middle of the forest. At this moment, a group of children about the same age as Henard were playing in it.

"Hey, brat, I'm here with my men to compete with you!" Henard stepped on the open space and shouted at the child in the middle.

The boy snorted and stood out. He looked at the two of them with disdain and said coldly, "Henard, what can you do to us with a five-year-old kid? Did I hit you too gently last time?"

Henard rubbed his nose and said arrogantly, "humph, Big Hippo, you are such a fool. Don't you know how powerful my new brother is! As soon as he attacked, he knocked down a tree."

Eden was speechless. Eden looked at Henard and felt that he had joined the wrong team.

The boy called Big Hippo by Henard widened his eyes at once. He strode to Eden and shouted, "bastard, what do you call me? You are not qualified to call my name. Humph! I will teach you a lesson or I am sorry to my name!" As soon as he finished his words, he strode towards Henard, raised his arm and punched Henard.

Henard was knocked down with just a punch!

After Henard fell to the ground, he immediately stood up to catch the Big Hippo. The man seemed to have known his plan, so he kicked Henard away.

"You always play this trick. I, your grandpa, am tired of it." Looking at Henard who had been beaten black and blue, the big Hippo spat and cursed.

Eden had already stood far away from them when he saw them fighting. What a bad luck! Such a bad thing happened on when he just arrived at the Xiaoyao Island. The most hateful one was the Big Brother Eden met. It seemed that he was the weakest one in this circle.

Henard stood up unsteadily, looked at the Big Hippo and spat, "humph, you bastard! I won't play with you today. Little guy, let's go. We'll come to them next time!" After casting a glance at Eden, Henard turned around and left.

Although Eden knew that he had joined the wrong team, he would stick to it. He was loyal! Hearing Henard's order, he left too.

Henard led him to a quiet place. He smiled cunningly and took something out of his arms.

"Look what I got from him."
