Chapter 1642 The Elder's Concerns

"It will be a bit troublesome for Master Xiao Xiao to find it."

The little white fox tilted its head and glanced upward at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao looked at the direction where the child ghost disappeared, with a thoughtful look on his face.

".uncertain."

The little ghost boy tripped and fell headfirst into the bushes.

The branches and leaves hit its body.

Somewhat itchy.

It's not as painful as the sunlight falling on it just now.

Its heart skipped a beat.

I was worried that the noise I made if I fell in would be too loud.

After a while, when he realized nothing had happened, the little ghost carefully and slowly got up from the ground.

It covers its mouth.

Heavy breathing escaped from between his fingers.

It covered its mouth even harder.

There was a taste of rust in my mouth.

It didn't care, or rather, it didn't notice it.

It looked out through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

The human did not follow.

Is it safe?
It doesn't know.

The sun is gradually setting in the west.

The beautiful red glow filled the entire sky.

The heat in the air dissipated a little.

The sky slowly darkened.

The little ghost knew that he was safe for the time being.

It turned its head and looked around.

More and more humans came and went.

Some are in a hurry, while others are chatting and laughing with their companions.

Or looking down at something.

The street lights came on.

The little ghost showed a look of disgust on his face.

There are almost no humans outside.

The aroma of food wafted through the air.

It ducked out of the bushes.

Then he quickly jumped up the tree.

After it sat against the tree trunk and the dense branches and leaves concealed its body, it finally exhaled slowly.

But it is still repressed and silent.

There was a dull pain all over my body.

There was also a tearing pain coming from inside the body.

It knows.

This is a sequelae.

In order to stay alive, a little injury is nothing.

Even if I am covered in scars, as long as I can survive in the end.

Then it's all worth it.

The child ghost raised his head.

There are layers of green leaves on the criss-crossing branches.

Moonlight seeps in through the gaps between branches and green leaves.

It illuminated the view in front of it a little.

It tilted its head, its face looking pale and weak.

Eyelids drooped.

The unprecedented serious injury and the thrill of escaping death made it feel very tired.

It's so tiring.

However, the emotions in my heart were never completely relieved.

The nerves were always tense.

Reminding it that the crisis is not over yet.

It clenched its hands hanging at its sides.

Thinking of that human being, its eyes became gloomy, but fear was spreading out.

From the bottom of the eyes to its entire face.

How can there be such powerful humans?
The child ghost has distorted facial features.

How did it come to meet that human?
That nasty, damned human actually hurt it so badly? !

it.
The little ghost wanted to say something cruel like revenge.

But I discovered the cowardice in my heart.

That human really scared it.

Even though it suffered such a huge loss, it accepted it.

It just wanted to never see that human again.

Never again.

The child ghost is in a state of confusion.

It didn't fall asleep until a faint light appeared in the eastern sky.

Its furrowed brows showed that it was not sleeping very soundly.

The next day at noon, Grandma Zhang came downstairs after eating.

She slowly walked to the old place and sat down on the stone bench.

The kittens quickly gathered around.

She laughed.

He bent down, reached out and gently touched the kittens' heads.

"Meow~meow~" The kittens rubbed the old man's hands.

The warm and soft touch made the old man's eyes narrow.

After playing with the kitten for a while, the old man sat up straight.

The kittens are eating.

She turned and looked.

She was a little disappointed when she didn't see the familiar figure.

"Cough cough~"

She lowered her head and coughed a few times.

Her health is getting worse.

My spirits are getting worse.

She smiled slightly and whispered softly, "Old man, I will come to see you soon."

"You must be getting tired of waiting, right?"

"Meow~meow~"

After the kittens finished their meal, they rubbed the old man's feet.

The old man bent down and touched the kittens' heads, "Go play."

As if they understood what the old man said, the kittens called out to him a few more times and then turned and ran away.

Looking at the kittens' backs as they left, the old man's expression was very gentle.

The old man turned around and began searching around again.

Soon, a look of disappointment appeared on her face again.

Are you not coming today?
Did something happen?
The old man became worried.

She stood up.

But she found that she didn't know where to go?

She was stunned for a moment.

Then the corners of his mouth curved up, revealing a wry smile.

"cough~"

She felt an itch in her throat.

"Ahem~Ahem."

She coughed so hard that her whole body was shaking slightly.

She reached her hand backwards and slowly sat back.

"cough~"

With a violent cough, her vision blurred for a moment and her body fell forward involuntarily.

She covered her mouth, her eyes wide.

Then, just as she was panicking in anticipation of the pain that was about to come, she found that someone was pulling her.

She turned her head.

no one?

She quickly realized something and looked down, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure.

The wrinkles around her eyes smoothed out.

A deep smile.

"It is you."

"You came."

The little ghost pursed his lips.

It wasn't meant to appear.

These are extraordinary times.

Its situation is very dangerous.

But it heard some noise coming from under the tree.

The familiar figure made it react. Did it choose to hide in the tree here?
It found none of them.

Thinking that he had come here unconsciously, the little ghost looked a little strange.

It saw the old man looking for it.

Watching the old man feeding the cat as usual.

Before, it would sit next to the old man or squat on the ground and watch him feed the cats.

This time he hid in a tree and watched the old man feed the cat.

The different perspectives bring about subtle changes in its mood.

The child ghost heard the old man coughing.

At first, it didn't know what a cough was.

After all, it has never coughed.

However, the old man looked unhappy when he coughed.

The frown also showed the old man's discomfort.

So, it knows that coughing is bad.

The old man coughed again.

Since it met the old man, the old man has been coughing more and more frequently.

The old man told it it was okay.

But it knows that this is not a big deal.

Seeing that the old man was about to fall, before it hesitated, its feet had already carried it to the old man's side and supported the old man's arm.

It breathed a sigh of relief.

And a little annoyed.

But when it saw the old man smiling at it, it subconsciously grinned as well.

The little ghost was feeling very anxious.

It was afraid that the terrible human would suddenly appear.

The old man noticed something unusual about the child ghost.

She thought about her previous guess.

"Did something happen?"

The smile on her face disappeared and her eyes were full of worry.
