Chapter 1244: Children and Bamboo Forest

The slight coolness of his fingertips made Xiao Xiao touch it again.

It feels like cold jade.

Delicate and smooth.

"Abai is also very good."

"hiss~"

The white snake narrowed its eyes slightly.

The tail wagged happily.

of course!
……

Seeing Xiao Xiao not hesitating even when he reached the fork in the road, the little white fox and the white snake were a little confused.

"Hiss~ Lord Xiao Xiao, do you know where that monster is?"

The white snake gently patted Xiao Xiao's arm with its tail.

"do not know."

Xiao Xiao took advantage of the shadow cast by the tree canopy and flicked a restless Taotie on the forehead.

This guy would start pulling his hair whenever he passed a food store.

No family was left behind.

He could even imagine the greedy look of a certain monster with eyes shining.

"Sigh~"

The white snake stuck out its tongue.

“There’s a park in front.”

Xiao Xiao's seemingly irrelevant words made the little white fox and the white snake look thoughtful.

"Grandpa Gu also said that the child saw the pig with two heads in the park."

So, when you have no destination in mind, the natural thing to do is to go to a place with a greater likelihood.

……

"Woo~"

Taotie curled his lips in anger.

What's so good about that mysterious monster?

If you have this much time, you might as well sit down and eat something.

It smells delicious.

……

The park is just ahead.

Although most office workers have now returned to their work schedule of leaving home early and returning late, children are still on vacation.

Today is another rare good day, and there are many old people and children in the park.

The crowd was full of people.

……

Xiao Xiao's pace slowed down a bit.

He shuttled back and forth under the shade of the trees, the light before his eyes flickering.

You can see new buds sprouting from the branches.

Spring is approaching.

……

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao stopped.

Listen carefully.

"Pig, pig..."

He raised his eyebrows slightly and quickened his pace in the direction of the sound.

His eyes brightened and he walked out of the shade of the trees.

Ahead is a lake.

A wooden bridge with a pier-like structure extends some distance from the lakeside to the center of the lake.

The person he was looking for was holding onto a bridge pillar, with his head about to stick out from between two pillars.

……

"what!"

The sudden suspension made the child scream.

Before he could react any further, his feet landed on the bridge again.

There is a shadow in front of my eyes.

He looked up and saw an older brother squatting down.

……

"Little guy, what you did just now was very dangerous."

Xiao Xiao looked at the confused child and reached out to tidy up the child's messy hair.

"Don't come to the lake alone next time, okay?"

"I'm looking for Piggy."

The child spoke hesitantly, with a hint of stubbornness between his eyebrows.

"Why did you go to the lake to look for Piggy?"

Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, "Although pigs can swim, they don't live in water."

The child was somewhat stumped by the question.

He tilted his head, looking as if he was thinking hard.

It seemed that he didn't understand why he came to the lake to find Piglet?
After a while, the child finally showed a look of realization, "I can't find it anywhere else."

The child's face wrinkled up, "I walked around everywhere."

“I just walked here.”

The child twisted his fingers, his face full of disappointment, "Pig is not here either."

"Big brother."

The child looked at Xiao Xiao, his dark eyes full of hope, "Have you seen Zhu Zhu?"

“It’s… this big.”

The child tried to open his hands and gesture, "There are two more--" The child suddenly covered his mouth, a look of annoyance on his face.

"My mother wouldn't let me tell you."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "There are two more heads, right?"

The child's eyes lit up, "Big brother, do you know?"

"Have you seen the pigs?"

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "Grandpa Gu told me."

"Grandpa Gu told Big Brother."

The child's tone was depressed.

"Little guy, are you alone?"

"Where's your mom?"

Xiao Xiao just noticed that the child was obviously alone here.

"Mother……"

The child's eyes rolled around a few times, and he seemed to be feeling guilty and uneasy. "I don't know either."

"The little guy sneaked out by himself?"

"No."

"I came out with my mother."

"What about mom?"

"Mother……"

The child hesitated again.

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to find your mother."

Seeing the child twisting his body with an unhappy look, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "And there's Piglet."

The child's eyes lit up again, "Really?"

"Big brother, do you want to help me find the pig?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao reached out and held the child's hand, "What are you and your mother doing here?"

The child answered obediently, "I want to eat cake, mommy took me out to buy cake."

“There are a lot of people in the cake shop.”

"Mom asked me to sit in my seat and wait for her."

"And you came out by yourself?"

Xiao Xiao tilted his head to look at the child, "Is the cake shop close to here?"

Why doesn't he remember there is any cake shop nearby?

Is it newly opened?

"Did you find the park by yourself?"

The child nodded, looking a little confused, "Just walk straight from the cake shop and you will reach here."

"What a brave boy."

Fortunately nothing happened.

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly, "Next time, you must sit in your seat and wait for your mother. You can't run out by yourself, understand?"

"Very dangerous."

"Besides, mom will be very anxious and worried."

"Oh."

The child hung his head and quietly defended himself, "My mom wouldn't let me look for the pig."

"Mom seems to hate Piggy."

"I dont like it either."

"But my plane is at Pigsy's."

"I want to find Pig."

"You can only look for it secretly by yourself."

"Don't let mom know."

"Otherwise Mom will be angry."

"You knew Mom would be mad, but you still ran out."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "Little guy, you better be prepared for what's going on."

"Mental preparation?"

The child looked confused and didn't quite understand the meaning of these words.

"Be prepared to be scolded."

The older brother’s words made the child’s face freeze, and a bit of panic appeared between his eyebrows.

Xiao Xiao could feel the curled fingers of the little hand in his hand.

"Tomoe will."

Maybe because of nervousness, the child bit his tongue when pronouncing words, "Mom will find out."

"I want to go back."

The child suddenly forgot about Piglet and his mind was filled with the nervousness of his mother scolding him.

Xiao Xiao smiled and let the child pull him and walk quickly forward.

He stopped when passing by a bamboo forest.

He also grabbed the child who was rushing forward with his head down.

The child turned around in confusion, "Big brother?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the bamboo forest in front of him.

When the wind blows, the bamboo leaves make a rustling sound, creating a lot of noise.

He looked down at the child and said, "Little guy, let's go through the bamboo forest."

"This is a shortcut."
