Chapter 1613 The Dying Bird
Ok?
The bird was startled by the coolness on its beak.

Is this rain?
Is it raining?

Without time to think, it opened its mouth and greedily caught the rain.

The ghost looked at the frog-like monster that suddenly appeared.

Then he looked at the bird again.

It found that the bird's breath didn't seem as dead as before, and it opened its eyes wide in surprise.

I no longer cared about the monsters and small rain clouds that suddenly appeared.

"Wawa~"

The ghost called his friend's name softly.

My hands couldn't help but clench together tightly.

His face was tense.

……

"Chirp~"

The sudden sound startled the ghost.

It's not a chirping sound.

this is……

It looked up blankly.

……

A small bird with a bright red beak.

No.

It's a monster.

The ghost looked at the monster and put something in front of Jiujiu.

After the monster left, it could see clearly that it was a bug.

……

The bird smelled the aroma of food.

It looked down.

It's really the food.

Its eyes lit up dimly.

In fact, it doesn't feel hungry anymore.

Maybe I've been hungry for too long.

But it knew that it must be very hungry.

It opened its mouth subconsciously.

Then, it found that it was so weak that it couldn't even eat the food that was so close to it.

It looked stunned.

……

"Eat."

Xiao Xiao picked up the small insects with a branch and fed them to the bird's mouth.

Just like what he had seen the old bird-raising man do.

The bird was stunned.

It was not until this moment that it realized there was a human in front of it.

How come that guy is with humans?
Is it a coincidence?

It knows that most humans and animals can't see that guy.

It was surprised by this.

But over time, it got used to it.

That guy is special.

And it is also special.

Sometimes, it would think a little proudly.

But when it was trapped these few days, it began to worry.

Don't worry about yourself.

But worry about this guy.

It's gone.

Isn't this guy left alone again?

No other animal can see it.

Such a lively guy...

If this human was with this guy...

This human being...

It tried hard to see the human's appearance clearly.

The blurriness in front of its eyes made it irritated.

It blinked with some difficulty.

Faintly, I could see the gentle eyes of a human being.

It thought, this must be a good person, right?
So, there's no problem for that guy to contact him, right?

He could see the guy.

That guy will be happy.

……

A hint of smile slowly appeared in the bird's eyes.

It opened its mouth slightly.

Familiar food tastes.

But soon, the bird looked painful.

Xiao Xiao hurriedly helped the bird spit out the food.

It was his lack of consideration.

The bird is in no condition to swallow such a large piece of food.

……

The little bird felt a pain that was almost suffocating.

It tried hard to swallow the food.

But I found that this made me more miserable.

Even after spitting out the food, the uncomfortable feeling still remained in the throat.

So, when it saw the human handing it the food that looked like paste again, it shook its head slightly.

It can't eat.

……

Xiao Xiao frowned.

Can't eat food?

This is not a good sign.

But he couldn't force the bird to eat. What if the bird choked?
……

"Wawa~"

The ghost was a little anxious.

Why doesn’t Jiujiu eat bugs?
It remembers that Jiujiu likes to eat insects the most.

It took the leaf from Master Xiao Xiao's hand and pushed it towards the bird's beak.

Chirp, eat.

……

The bird looked at the ghost.

Still shook his head slightly.

"Wawa~"

The ghosts became even more anxious.

"Wawa~wa~"

Chirp, eat.

……

The bird stared at the monster.

The vision gradually became a little clearer.

It also saw more clearly the emotions in the guy's eyes.

Confused, doubtful, worried, helpless...

A mixture of emotions.

This seemed to be the first time it saw so many emotions in this simple guy's eyes.

It always feels like he is no longer the stubborn idiot in its memory.

……

The bird stretched out its wings toward the demon.

It knew that it couldn't hold on for much longer.

Finally, it wanted this guy to take it somewhere.

But it had fallen in love with that place a long time ago.

When it gets old, it will close its eyes there.

……

Looking at the stupid monster, the bird showed a helpless smile in its eyes.

What a fool!
We've been friends for so many years, but we don't even have this bit of tacit understanding.

Just as it opened its mouth and tried to make a sound, the monster moved.

It reached out and picked up the bird.

The bird was stunned.

Then, the smile in his eyes revealed joy.

Good, this guy wasn’t stupid to the end.

……

"It's hopeless."

The little white fox glanced at Xiao Xiao and said, "Its current condition..."

The little white fox retracted his gaze, "That's what you humans call... a last gasp of life."

Xiao Xiao slowly withdrew his hand.

A last gasp...?

He actually had some guesses.

He followed the ghost quietly.

Didn't follow too closely.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at both sides.

This direction...

He remembered what the ghost had told him.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

This little bird really likes it there.

……

There was a faint smell of moisture in the air.

Xiao Xiao pushed aside the bushes and saw a familiar figure.

"Su Xun."

"Master Xiao."

Su Xun smiled with joy.

"you……"

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything else. He probably guessed why Su Xun was here.

really.

Su Xun's next words confirmed his guess.

"I don't know where to find you when I get back."

He searched for a while without any direction.

Nothing was gained.

It’s better not to waste your time.

"I thought you might come back here again."

Su Xun's eyebrows curved, "I'll wait for you here."

“It turns out that what I did was correct.”

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

It was only noon when Su Xun left, but now the sky is filled with sunset glow.

The afterglow of the sun enveloped the mountains and forests, outlining a dim halo for the dense branches and leaves.

"Fortunately."

Su Xun smiled.

He waited for almost half the afternoon.

Although as time goes by, I become more and more worried about whether Master Xiao will come back here.

However, the lake in front of him did make him feel much calmer.

Looking at the sparkling lake water, time doesn’t seem so long.

……

"Master Xiao, have you found the friend of the ghost?"

Su Xun asked with concern.

Did Master Xiao come back here because he knew he would be here? Or was it because he didn't find anything else?

Or……

"found it."

Xiao Xiao sighed slightly in his heart.

I found it, but...

It is the third possibility.

It's also the best possible.

Su Xun's face lit up with joy, "Really? That's great."
