Chapter 1029: Escape and Phone Call
There was no sign of relaxation on Xiao Xiao's expression. His eyes were cold and there was a layer of light gold spreading in the depths of his pupils.

Everything that just happened happened very quickly, but he saw it very clearly.

……

The golden arrow was right in front of him, and it was too late to dodge. Dao Laogui imitated Xiao Xiao's previous actions and reached out to grab the golden arrow.

The next second, the monster retreated with a ferocious look on his face.

The other hand scratched deep grooves on the branch, but still couldn't stop it from retreating.
Because it was on a tree branch, when it stepped back, it missed a step and fell from mid-air.

It doesn't care about the sudden feeling of weightlessness.

Because, after the impact faded, intense pain came from the hand holding the golden arrow.

In fact, it subconsciously wanted to let go of the golden arrow the moment it grabbed it, but the golden arrow seemed to be stuck in its hand.

The burning pain continued.

However, it did avoid the next golden arrow.

But, “Roar~”

It let out a cry of pain.

The golden arrow still brushed past the back of its hand.

Brought out a puff of dark blood.

Dao Laogui fell from the tree in a panic, and then there was a loud explosion behind him. He rolled on the ground in panic to avoid it, but was still rolled several times by the air wave.

When the sound of rain resumed and the wind whistled, it stood up with a painful look on its face.

The golden arrow stuck to its hand was crushed by it with a bite of its teeth.

Its hands were covered in blood and flesh, and the white bones could be seen inside.

Dao Laogui's expression was distorted and full of resentment.

However, there was also a hint of fear in the listless aura around him.

This was the first time it was injured so badly.

Even though it didn't want to admit it, it was indeed scared.

It glanced at the car and saw that it was about to disappear from its sight.

Subconsciously, it breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, it was startled and its body stiffened.

Because its gaze met a pair of cold human eyes.

Not caring about its wounded body, it turned around and ran away.

……

Xiao Xiao withdrew his right hand and placed it on the little white fox's head.

"Want to escape?"

He whispered, "You can't escape."

"Gu carving."

"Go."

"Jie Jie~"

A huge black shadow appeared in the air.

The sudden darkness stunned the woman, the man with black-framed glasses and the driver, and they subconsciously looked out the window.

But I didn't think much about it.

After all, it's gloomy weather now with strong winds and heavy rain.

……

The black shadow nodded at Xiao Xiao, then flew into the sky and quickly rushed in the direction where Dao Laogui escaped.

"Jie~"

……

"My lord."

A Yu's calm voice sounded in his heart.

Xiao Xiao's expression paused, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After all, because of his serious injury, A Yu would basically not speak unless he asked.

"Ayu."

There was a hint of inquiry in his low voice.

"The Dao Lao ghosts are all male and female."

"That was just a female Dao Laogui."

"In other words, there is another male sword-wielding ghost nearby?"

Xiao Xiao instantly understood what A Yu had not yet said.

"Yes, my lord."

After this sound, A Yu fell silent again.

"Mr. Xiao Xiao."

The woman asked tentatively, "That."

Xiao Xiao turned his head.

Seeing this, the woman inexplicably felt that she could ask questions.

She was stunned for a moment, then spoke hesitantly, "You just said-"

"We don't have to go to my friend's house. What do you mean?"

It was Mr. Xiao Xiao who said he wanted to go at the beginning.

Why are you saying you don’t need to go when you’re already halfway there? “I mean maybe you don’t need to go to your friend’s house.”

Xiao Xiao corrected.

"Oh."

The woman nodded, her face still blank.

So, what made Mr. Xiao Xiao ask this “maybe”?

She didn't notice this opportunity at all.

Did something just happen?
"So, we're still going to your friend's house."

Xiao Xiao's words made the woman scream subconsciously, "Ah?"

She thought that Mr. Xiao Xiao's maybe meant affirmation.

Do you still want to go?
Is it because something happened again? Or was it because something was discovered?
Her female sixth sense told her so.

"Otherwise, your friend's family might be in some trouble."

Xiao Xiao said something with an ambiguous meaning.

The woman wanted to ask more specifically.

"The rain has stopped."

Xiao Xiao's sudden digression stunned the woman, and she swallowed back the words she wanted to ask.

She subconsciously looked out the window.

really.

The weather was cloudy and stormy before.

It is now cloudy and the rain has stopped and the wind has stopped.

Sunlight was faintly visible, shining through the gaps in the clouds.

When the woman took her eyes off the sky outside the window and looked at Mr. Xiao Xiao again, she found that the young man had his eyes slightly closed and looked like he was taking a rest.

she:
She hesitated for a while, but when she saw the man with black-framed glasses turn around and shake his head at her, she finally did not say anything to disturb Mr. Xiao Xiao's rest.

Ask after you get off the bus.

Besides, she has come here anyway, so as long as she keeps following Mr. Xiao Xiao, she will always know what she wants to know.

"Little brother, we've arrived."

The driver parked the car and turned to the man with black-framed glasses in the passenger seat and spoke.

"OK, thanks."

The man with black-framed glasses paid the fare and got off the car.

Xiao Xiao and the woman were already waiting for him outside.

"Mr. Xiao Xiao, are we going to my friend's house now?"

The woman confirmed, but her expression was a little embarrassed.

Only when people really arrived here did she react.

What excuse would she have for going to her friend's house?
They were good friends in high school.

However, due to the special location of her friend's hometown, which is in such a remote mountain area, she only came there once out of curiosity.

Therefore, she is actually only slightly more familiar with her best friend's family than with strangers.

Moreover, she just went back yesterday, but she came again today.

He also brought two strangers.

She suddenly had a headache.

"Do you have your friend's home phone number?"

Xiao Xiao asked a question that left the woman somewhat confused.

"Phone? No-"

The woman suddenly looked as if she had thought of something, "Wait!"

"should have."

"They had called me on the landline to inform me of my friend's death."

"Let me look for it."

The woman took out her cell phone and looked through the call records.

"Ah, I found it."

the woman called out, a smile on her face, "That's the number!"

Then, she was stunned, "Um, Mr. Xiao Xiao, what do you want this number for?"

"Why don't you call your friend's house and ask if they are having any troubles right now?"

The woman's facial features wrinkled together.

Why does she feel that there is a generation gap between her and Mr. Xiao Xiao?

Otherwise, why does she always fail to understand what the other person is saying?
"trouble?"

"What trouble?"

"What kind of trouble will their family encounter?"

The woman asked repeatedly.

"Call up."

Xiao Xiao was brief and to the point.
