Chapter 177 Rivers, Gifts and Neighbors
Xiao Xiao hailed a taxi, opened the door, and motioned He Bo to get in.

He Bo looked at the seat behind the car door in confusion.

After thinking about it, he climbed up cautiously.

Xiao Xiao went up afterwards.

"Bang~"

"Boom~"

The car sped away.

……

Two hours later, the car arrived at Baihua Mountain.

Xiao Xiao paid and got out of the car. He closed the door only after seeing He Bo stumbling out of the car.

Looking up and around, Baihua Mountain, where I had just visited not long ago, was just as crowded and bustling as last time.

He Bo was still a little dizzy.

He walked with his feet turned inward, swaying from side to side like a drunk.

Xiao Xiao: ...

It turns out that monsters can get carsick too.

Before Xiao Xiao could finish his surprise, He Bo tripped over his left foot and fell with a "bang".

He fell hard on his face.

Xiao Xiao: ...

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao Xiao squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces, lowering his head slightly, and said in a weak voice, "Are you okay?"

"...Turn..." He Bo's unclear voice sounded in Xiao Xiao's heart, and Xiao Xiao could only distinguish the word "turn".

Are you wondering why the world in front of you is spinning?
It seems that he is quite dizzy.

"Can you get up?"

There are people coming and going here, and Xiao Xiao doesn't want to help a monster.

"Hold my pants."

Xiao Xiao moved towards He Bo, with his foot right next to He Bo's hand.

He Bo's hands have five fingers, but they are webbed.

The short dark green nails are slightly curved with a sharp arc.

You won’t tear his pants, will you?

Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a little worried.

After thinking about it, Xiao Xiao still reminded, "Be careful not to scratch my pants with your nails."

Otherwise it would be too embarrassing for him to wear a pair of torn pants.

……

He Bo didn't raise his face, but his trembling hands grabbed Xiao Xiao's pants.

However, Xiao Xiao noticed that the nails on He Bo's fingers, which were not long to begin with, had shrunk to the point where they were almost invisible.

With the support of Xiao Xiao's legs, He Bo finally stood up, his head still lowered and his little body swaying.

Although he was still a little dizzy, after lying on the ground for a while and breathing fresh air, He Bo felt much better.

The human stuff is just horrible.

He Bo, who finally recovered, was still frightened.

……

Xiao Xiao dragged He Bo on his legs into the Baihua Mountain Scenic Area.

He walked towards the aborigines' residence with some familiarity with the route.

Before, he said he wanted to help He Bo find a river, and the river he thought of was the river that formed the waterfall where the aborigines lived.

The habitat of the apes is remote and is located within the Baihua Mountain Scenic Area, so there is no need to worry about pollution or destruction.

Moreover, the environment there is quiet, surrounded by trees, and there are apes as neighbors.

It should be a good choice of place to live, right?
If he didn't like the abamochis, Xiao Xiao suddenly thought that the abamochis seemed to have a bad reputation among monsters. He Bo could also choose to live upstream of the river, away from the abamochis.

However, Xiao Xiao felt that the apes should be very welcoming to He Bo.

After all, the water quality of the rivers where He Bo lives is much better and more spiritual, and it tastes sweeter than before.

I believe that the taste of the agni wine brewed with such river water will be even better, right?
……

The river flows quietly, the water is clear, with bits of gold jumping around in it, creating ripples that are incredibly beautiful.

He Bo's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the dots of light gradually gathered into a dazzling light, so bright that it was almost blinding.

"Like it?"

Although he understood everything from He Bo's expression, Xiao Xiao still asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

He Bo was so overjoyed that he could not speak. Suddenly, two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

The corners of He Bo's mouth were wide open, and he seemed unaware that he was crying.

Found it, it was finally found!

This is the river it has been thinking about for a long time.

It's more beautiful than it imagined.

……

When Xiao Xiao saw He Bo's tears, he was shocked and helpless. He was really a monster who only liked to cry.

However, Xiao Xiao did not make any more noise to disturb the monster who was immersed in joy.

"Thank you, benefactor!"

"Thank you very much."

He Bo suddenly turned around and knelt down to pay homage to Xiao Xiao.

With his hands placed on the ground on both sides of his head and his forehead resting on the ground, Ha Bo's voice was full of gratitude and joy.

Xiao Xiao:!
"Get up." Xiao Xiao was almost flattered. This monster always wanted to "scare" him.

Xiao Xiao squatted down and tried to pull up a monster.

"No need to be so polite."

“I’m just fulfilling my promise.”

"No, benefactor, I have nothing to repay you, so I can only express my gratitude with this."

"Please don't stop me."

He Bo looked at Xiao Xiao seriously for a long time. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to let go of He Bo's hand and gave up the idea of ​​pulling it up by force.

Xiao Xiao accepted the great gift from He Bo.

He Bo was respectful and pious. He stood up, bowed down, and touched the ground with his forehead three times.

It won’t shorten my life, right?
Even if they are monsters, they are still elders.

Even though he felt a little helpless, Xiao Xiao seriously accepted He Bo's sincere gratitude.

……

After He Bo finished his ceremony, he couldn't wait to jump into the river.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take you to meet your neighbors."

Although this place is quite far from the waterfall, the rivers are connected, and for monsters, this distance is nothing, right?

In order to avoid the embarrassment of a sudden meeting between the two parties later, after all, He Bo is a latecomer and this is also the territory of the apes, so it is better to say hello to the apes first.

As for whether they will keep to themselves or maintain friendly relations in the future, it all depends on themselves.

……

"Neighbor?"

He Bo was a little confused, but also very much looking forward to it.

There was a smile on his face that hadn't faded since he saw the river.

In the past, it also had neighbors. The birds, squirrels, rabbits and all other creatures in the dense forest were its good friends.

They always come to its river to drink water, and he likes to watch them play and frolic by its river.

I always feel that I am very happy.

Are there other neighbors here besides these cute little guys?

He Bo became more and more satisfied with this place.

……

"Yes."

"Maybe some noisy neighbors."

"But they live behind the waterfall downstream of the river, so they shouldn't interfere with you."

……

The majestic waterfall made Ha Bo sigh in amazement and look deeply shocked.

The little river god looked so tiny in front of the waterfall that he felt like he was about to be swallowed up in an instant.

However, He Bo was enjoying the surging water vapor coming towards him with a look of delight, and was not at all frightened by its huge momentum.

……

"Hooho~"

The ababa jumping on the tree saw a familiar figure. Isn’t this the human from last time?
"Yo~"

Meeting the ape's gaze, Xiao Xiao greeted it with a smile.

The ape was obviously stunned for a moment, then it grinned.

"Hooho~"
