Chapter 167 Chi Mei and Seeing

Several elderly people who arrived earlier surrounded Mr. Zhou when they saw him.

"Old Zhou, long time no see."

"Old Zhou, how is your grandson?"

"Old Zhou..."

……

The old men soon started chatting animatedly.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao smiled and went to entertain the new guests.

……

"Xiaoxiao." Gu Lao smiled and waved to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is there no more tea?"

"No, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes." Apart from helping out in the teahouse, Xiao Xiao didn't have anything special to do.

"Is something wrong?"

"Look, your Grandpa Zhou wants to take his grandson out for a walk. After all, the child has been in the hospital for a long time and is feeling suffocated. Now that he is finally discharged, he wants to go out and play all day long."

"The child is in good health and recovers quickly. The last time I saw him, he was already in good spirits."

"It just so happens that I want to go to Baihua Mountain. The Baihua Mountain Scenic Area is very beautiful and cool at this time, so I invited Lao Zhou to go with me."

"However, we are all old people, and we are worried that we can't take good care of the children, so we want to find a young person to go with us. So we want to ask if you have time to go out and play with the old guys."

"Okay." Xiao Xiao agreed readily, "I'll go with you."

……

The next day, Xiao Xiao, the old couple Zhou, their little grandson, and Gu Lao, a group of five, set out before seven in the morning.

Gu Lao just took a taxi.

He said that they were going there to have fun, not to waste time on the road.

Xiao Xiao naturally had no objection to this.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou had even less objection. If Gu Lao had not called a taxi first, they would have planned to do so. Their grandson was in good health and did not suit the bumpy ride. Besides, they wanted to take their grandson to see the natural scenery and did not want to waste all their energy on the road.

……

About two hours later, Xiao Xiao and his companions arrived at the foot of Baihua Mountain.

The scenic area was already quite lively at this time, with a lot of noise and crowds of people.

After all, it is summer vacation, and Baihua Mountain is a summer resort.

After Xiao Xiao and his companions lined up to buy tickets, they headed towards the top of the mountain. Their destination was the Hundred Flower Meadow.

……

Walking slowly along the mountain path, the trees on both sides are towering, blocking out the sun and casting mottled shadows. The rustling sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other is clear and pleasant to the ear, and the air is filled with the pleasant fragrance of green grass and trees, which is refreshing.

The old people couldn't help but reveal happy smiles on their faces.

Old Zhou's little grandson Baby struggled to break free from Grandma Zhou's hand and started running happily with his short legs.

"Baby, slow down."

Although Grandma Zhou expressed some worry, she was very pleased to see her grandson, who had been lying in a hospital bed not long ago, now so lively, so she did not restrain him.

This time I just wanted to bring him out for some fresh air.

"The little guy is in good spirits." Gu Lao narrowed his eyes and smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

"As soon as you came back from the hospital, you've been like a little monkey. You can't keep quiet for a moment." Although Mr. Zhou was cursing, his wrinkles on his face were smoothed out by a smile.

……

"Little squirrel~Little squirrel~"

The baby cried in a baby voice, and ran into the jungle nearby with his short legs at a very fast pace.

"Hey, baby." Grandma Zhou was surprised.

"It's okay, Grandma Zhou, I'll follow him."

Xiao Xiao smiled soothingly at Grandma Zhou, who looked worried, and hurriedly chased after her.

"Okay, it's okay, Xiaoxiao is watching." Grandpa Zhou saw that Grandma Zhou wanted to follow, so he quickly pulled her back, "Be careful not to fall."

"Yeah, we are old and weak, how can we keep up with the happy kids?" Gu Lao also advised, "Let's walk slowly, they should catch up soon."

"Yeah." Grandma Zhou eased her worried expression. What Old Zhou and Old Gu said made sense. Besides, she had watched Xiaoxiao grow up since he was a child. He was a stable child, so she was relieved.

……

"Baby?" "Baby!"

How fast can a child's feet be? Besides, the little guy kept calling "little squirrel". Xiao Xiao soon saw the baby's shaking figure.

But before he could smile, he was startled by the sudden appearance of a demonic aura.

I saw several ghost-like monsters emerging from the woods and gradually surrounding the baby.

Xiao Xiao could even see the saliva flowing from the corners of their strangely cracked mouths.

A face full of greed and desire.

……

Chi demon.

A monster created from strange energy in the forest.

Killing is invisible.

……

Xiao Xiao took a few big steps forward and picked up the baby.

He lowered his eyes to look at the baby in his arms. The little guy seemed a little dazed because he was suddenly picked up, and looked at him blankly.

Xiao Xiao smiled.

When he raised his eyes again, he saw eyes like glass with blazing golden light flowing in them. There was a faint dangerous aura flowing in the air. Several Chimei were frightened and scattered.

They are just a few insignificant demons.

……

"Fei Fei~Hey~Fei Fei~"

The baby stretched out his hands, as if trying to hold back the fleeing Chi spirits.

Xiao Xiao:?
At the end of the tails of those Chi-meteors is a ball of gas like smoke or fog, and they really look like they are flying when they move.

But, can the baby see Chimei?

"Baby, can you see those things just now?"

"Fei Fei is gone~" The baby looked aggrieved. It was obvious that the Chimei was very novel to the little guy, and he looked regretful and unwilling that he could not study it carefully.

It seems that I can really see it.

Xiao Xiao didn’t know whether this child could see naturally, or whether he acquired this ability after surviving the fire of the fire rat?
Xiao Xiao prefers the latter.

If it was the former, it would be impossible that there had been no rumors before, unless the Zhou family had really kept it a secret.

Moreover, when he carefully recalled his interactions with Zhou's grandparents, he did not find anything unusual.

I wonder if this special ability is a curse or a blessing for such a young child?

……

"Little squirrel~"

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the baby forget about Chimei in a blink of an eye and chase after the little squirrel.

He really is a child.

……

"Baby, let's go meet up with Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa Gu, shall we?"

After playing with the baby for a while, Xiao Xiao thought that the elderly people might be a little worried.

Especially Grandma Zhou.

But the baby refused to give in and just kept chasing the little squirrel.

There are many squirrels in this forest. When one disappears, another one will soon appear.

The little guy kept chasing it with great interest, regardless of whether it was the first one he saw.

……

After thinking about it, Xiao Xiao felt that he had to do something ruthless.

"Phi."

"Coffee~"

"Well, just take that squirrel, drive it to the tree on the side of the road."

"Coffee~"

Feifei's eyes flashed with interest, and he swung his tail. Then he ran up the tree and walked with graceful steps towards the squirrel that Xiao Xiao had just pointed at.
