Chapter 1610 Let's Find Jiujiu Together. Continued
With the lake as the center, Xiao Xiao and Su Xun gradually expanded the scope of the search.
Ghosts and monsters go back and forth.
From time to time, I climbed to the treetops and looked around.
Even though the shade was dense, beads of sweat still appeared on Su Xun's forehead.
The temperature is getting higher and higher.
He looked at the time. It was almost noon.
He took a few quick steps.
I looked around but couldn't find Master Xiao.
He was a little confused and doubtful.
After searching for a while, he suggested that he and Master Xiao search separately. This way the chances of finding it would be greater anyway.
However, even though they were searching separately, since they were searching along the perimeter of the lake, it meant that they would meet each other in the end.
He knew that Master Xiao was faster than him, but...
What if the person is missing?
"Xiao-"
"Are you looking for me?"
Su Xun felt as if his heart had stopped for a moment.
"Master Xiao."
He took a deep breath and said, "Do you know that scaring others can kill them?"
Xiao Xiao looked quite innocent, "I just heard you calling me, so I answered."
Su Xun: ...
He wanted to call Master Xiao.
However, he had only called out the first of the three words when Master Xiao spoke.
What kind of hearing is this?
Also, can you make some noise when you walk?
They are looking for someone, not hiding from someone.
After complaining, Su Xun found that his wording was a little wrong.
They were not looking for people, they were looking for birds.
Or help a monster find its bird friend.
This is a development that could really be written into the plot of a novel.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled and changed the subject, "What's the matter?"
"Ah, yes."
Su Xun immediately thought of the reason why he was looking for Master Xiao.
"Master Xiao, are you hungry?"
"Look, it's almost noon..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked down at the time, then a little apology flashed between his eyebrows, "Sorry, I didn't notice."
"Su Xun, go back to the village to eat first."
"Hey?"
Su Xun was stunned, "Master Xiao, you're not going back to the village?"
"I ate a lot of snacks before I came out."
Xiao Xiao explained, "I'm not very hungry now."
So far, there is no clue about the whereabouts of Jiujiu, and he doesn't have much appetite for food.
He could sense that the ghost was becoming more and more anxious.
"That-"
Just as Su Xun was about to say that he would stay, Xiao Xiao interrupted him, "You go back."
"You must be hungry after driving back and forth for such a long time and searching in the woods for such a long time."
"and-"
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, but his words were somewhat "impolite", "If you're not here, it will be faster for me to find it by myself."
Su Xun: ...
He was speechless.
He knew that what Master Xiao said was true.
"……All right."
Although he felt somewhat unwilling and regretful, Su Xun still decided to follow Master Xiao's advice.
Just as Master Xiao said, the two trips back and forth at full speed had already made him a little tired.
I have been searching in the woods for so long.
The road in the woods is not easy to walk on.
It's more tiring.
"Gulu~"
Su Xun immediately covered his stomach with his hands.
There was a hint of smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes.
Su Xun shook his head, his expression not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It seems that I really have to go back."
This stomach rumbles at the perfect time.
"My stomach is starting to protest."
And so loud.
Isn't this honestly embarrassing?
"Then Master Xiao, I'll come over after dinner."
Su Xun didn't delay either.
After saying hello to Xiao Xiao, he turned and walked towards the exit of the forest.
"Wah~"
A human is gone.
The ghost looked at the back of the leaving human, and then looked at Lord Xiao Xiao.
"I'm not leaving." Seeing the ghost's worry, Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, "I haven't found Jiujiu for you yet."
"He's just going to have a meal and will be back soon."
"Wawa~"
The ghost nodded.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but widen a little.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up a little, "Wangliang ghost, are you hungry?"
"Do you need to go get something to eat?"
"Wawa~"
The ghost shook his head.
It's not hungry.
It's looking for Jiujiu.
"it is good."
Xiao Xiao did not force the ghost, "Then let's continue."
"We're going somewhere farther this time."
The ghosts had searched the area near the lake once before, and they searched it again just now.
All of them gained nothing.
The possibility of Jiojio being nearby is almost zero.
They need to expand their search.
"Wawa~"
The ghost nodded.
It is at a loss of what to do.
Naturally, it would respond to whatever Lord Xiao Xiao said.
Without Su Xun around, Xiao Xiao had nothing to worry about.
Sometimes I would climb up a tree and look into the distance, just like the monsters and ghosts.
This gave the monster a big scare as there was suddenly another person around him.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Lord Xiao Xiao became more and more magical.
Lord Xiao Xiao is so awesome.
Just like it, it can climb trees.
Xiao Xiao noticed the look in the ghost's eyes, but didn't care.
Climbing up the tree again, he looked up and saw a few birds flying in the sky.
The call is crisp.
Then he heard the monsters around him muttering, "Wawa~"
It's calling—"Chirp."
"Wawa~"
The ghost looked at Xiao Xiao, "Wah~Wah..."
Lord Xiao Xiao.
Is Jiujiu gone?
It subconsciously looked up into the sky again.
The birds that had just flown past them had turned into tiny black dots.
It soon disappeared without a trace.
Don't know where it went.
Just like chirp.
It also didn't know where Jiujiu had gone.
Has Jijiu already left?
It's just that it doesn't-
"will not."
Lord Xiao Xiao's voice interrupted the ghost's wild thoughts, and it stared at Lord Xiao Xiao in a daze.
"Jiujiu is your friend, right?"
Lord Xiao Xiao's questions always made it feel a little strange.
Although he was a little confused, the ghost corrected him seriously, "Wawa~Wawa"
Jiujiu is its best friend.
"If that's the case, then why would it leave without saying goodbye?"
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The ghost blinked his eyes, his expression somewhat dull.
Yes.
Jiujiu is its best friend.
Jiujiu wouldn't leave without saying a word.
"Wawa~"
The ghost, having figured it out, nodded vigorously.
"Since it didn't leave without saying goodbye, then there must be some reason preventing it from coming back."
Xiao Xiao whispered to himself, his voice becoming softer and softer, "Maybe he encountered a situation where he can't come back."
".Something unexpected happened..."
"Wawa~"
The ghost didn't hear clearly what Lord Xiao Xiao said, and a bit of anxiety appeared between his brows.
"Wawa~wa~wa~wa~"
Xiao Xiao smiled soothingly at the ghost.
Just as the ghost opened his mouth to say something, a strong yet somewhat familiar evil aura permeated the air.
It suddenly froze in place.
Unable to move.
But my heart was beating very fast.
It almost felt like its heart was about to jump out of its throat.
