Chapter 2208 Monk
He didn't want to pay attention to the other party, but after thinking about it, the boy still told him vaguely about Xiaome.

Someone wanted to hurt his friend.

He didn't know what to do.

His friends are special.

He can only rely on himself for protection.

Thinking of Xiaome's tiny appearance, he couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to hide it somewhere where no one can find it."

……

"how about this?"

The monk smiled and took out a... jade ball from his arms?
The boy was taken aback.

He subconsciously took the jade ball handed to him by the monk.

"this-"

Looking at the jade ball in his hand that was split into two halves, he twitched his eyes, "No-"

"Just hide it here."

The monk narrowed his eyes.

here?

The boy was about to think that the other party was talking nonsense, but the next second, the absurdity in his heart disappeared.

He looked carefully at the jade ball in his hand that was split into two halves.

There was a thoughtful look on his face.

The jade ball is hollow.

This size...

Xiaome can indeed hide in it.

Moreover, hiding in a jade ball... most people wouldn't think of that, right?

At least it's better than hiding in a drawer or cabinet and making it less noticeable.

……

A faint light appeared in his eyes.

But the voice that immediately sounded in his mind made his face darken again.

……

"it's useless."

"Even if you hide it, I can smell it."

"I'm doing it for your own good."

"But if you still can't understand, I will have to take extraordinary measures."

……

"…It's no use just hiding… You'll be discovered…"

The boy murmured.

"Will not."

The monk's assurance made the boy both unconvinced and unable to help wanting to believe it.

The entanglement between reason and emotion made him scream out in frustration.

"Why do you say that?"

"I am oblivious……"

……

"I know."

The monk's smiling face made the boy feel angry.

"you know-"

"Didn't you just tell the Buddha about your troubles?"

The monk was not angry at all because of the boy's attitude.

Always smiling.

Boy:......

He wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't.

There are some things he can say to Buddha, but he cannot say them to the monk in front of him.

……

"Don't worry, my Lord,"

The monk put his hands together and said, "The Buddha will bless you."

The boy took a deep breath.

Don't be angry with monks.

……

He looked down at the palm of his hand.

"Thank you."

"I do not need."

He returned the jade ball to the monk.

Besides...

"This jade ball is broken, what else can it contain?"

……

"It's not broken."

The monk corrected the boy's words.

"You just close it and it's complete."

Boy:......

Don’t be angry with the monks, don’t be angry with the monks…

"……Yeah?"

"thank you for your kindness."

"But I don't need to."

……

"You really don't need it?"

The monk's question gave the boy a strange feeling.

He looked at the monk.

It still feels a bit greasy.

But it makes people a little unpredictable?

I don't know if it was his imagination...

The boy pursed his lips.

His hand froze in mid-air.

……

"Take it."

The monk gently pushed the boy's hand back.

"You need it."

The boy seemed to be bewitched and his previous rejection disappeared.

He silently accepted the jade ball.

……

"donor."

The monk's smile grew even brighter. "Would you like to light a lamp?"

"It will make your wish come true more easily."

Boy:......

Was the feeling before just an illusion?

What is so unpredictable about this monk?

……

Although he complained in his heart, the boy still lit a lamp, just for a good omen.

I hope he can keep Xiaome safe.

……

The boy turned and stepped over the threshold of the temple.

The monk said goodbye warmly behind him.

"Goodbye, benefactor."

"come back next time."

The boy twitched his lips fiercely.

Just as he was about to walk out of the temple gate, the monk's voice sounded again behind him.

"donor."

"The Buddha will not lie."

The boy was slightly stunned.

what?
He turned his head.

But I didn't see any monks in the dark temple not far away.

A strange feeling arose in his heart again.

He shook his head.

He walked away from the temple.

……

Spent a long time outside again today.

Xiao Mee will be unhappy again when she gets back.

I have treated it badly during this period of time.

Always hiding.

However, Xiao Mee is also afraid of that person.

He wasn't worried that Xiao Mee would sneak out to play and run into that person.

……

The person I was just thinking about appeared at the door of my house.

The boy was horrified.

"Why are you here?!"

He questioned the other party.

How did the other party know his home address? !

He first met the other person on the street.

They passed each other.

Then, the other party called him.

Said he dropped something.

……

The other party chatted with them very naturally.

He was with his classmates at the time.

Asked about their school.

So when he saw that guy at school later, he wasn't too surprised.

Although I also feel a little bit of gratitude for the other party's good luck.

The school is very big.

The other party found him so easily without knowing anything...

He found out later.

It's not a matter of luck at all.

The other party came here by following Xiaome's scent.

After knowing this, he became extra careful about his whereabouts.

Is it the same this time?
impossible.

What kind of smell...

Xiaome has been at home for many days.

Where did this person discover Xiaome's scent?

……

"Of course I followed the smell of the monster."

The other party's answer confirmed his initial guess.

But he didn't believe it.

If a person has such a strong tracking ability, who can hide from him?

He looked ugly.

"I don't want to see you here."

"Please leave."

He didn't want to ask any more.

The answer doesn't matter.

What if you knew the answer?
Nothing can be changed.

……

The boy slammed the door shut.

He didn't look at the person at the door again.

……

He stood at the entrance, his heart beating wildly.

This feeling of being pressed step by step...

He knew that the other party was about to lose patience.

……

The jade ball in his hand appeared in his field of vision.

His expression froze.

Raising the jade ball, he pursed his lips.

A look of struggle appeared on his face.

Want to try it?

No.

Want to take a gamble?

he asked himself.

……

"Where's the monster?"

The boy was stopped.

It was the first time he saw the other person look so angry and frustrated.

The boy's heart moved.

But it doesn't show on the face.

"gone."

He said coldly.

"gone?"

The other party was surprised.

"Knowing that someone has bad intentions, does it not leave and wait to be caught by you?"

The boy looked sarcastic.

It’s all because of this inexplicable and self-righteous guy.

He and Xiao Mei were getting along well.
He really couldn't show any good face to this person.
