Chapter 236: "Unique" Encounter
"Xiaoxiao, Zhang boy, Zhuge boy, Zhao boy, goodbye.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Gu, goodbye."

……

Xiao Xiao and his companions turned around and walked into the teahouse, going straight to the kitchen at the back.

"Mom, we are back."

"Aunt, we are back."

"You're back? Did you have fun?"

"Well, we caught a lot of fish."

"Really? Oh, that's a lot of fish. It will take several meals."

……

The holiday is over in a flash, and soon, school will start again tomorrow.

Xiao Xiao and his companions collected their gifts, said goodbye to the Xiao family, and returned to school.

"Grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, we are leaving. Thank you for your hospitality these days."

"Why are you being polite? Come play again next time."

"You can come anytime."

……

"Chirp~"

The familiar cry made Xiao Xiao look up and see the pigeon fly happily in front of him, flapping its wings, its emerald eyes sparkling.

Is this... a farewell to him?

Xiao Xiao slowly raised the corners of his mouth and said silently: "Goodbye, pigeon."

"Chirp~"

The pigeon seemed to understand what Xiao Xiao meant. It flew around Xiao Xiao for a few circles, followed Xiao Xiao out of the room, and then stopped on the black tiles of the white wall. It tilted its head slightly and watched Xiao Xiao's back quietly.

Only when the figure disappeared from its emerald eyes did the pigeon spread its wings and fly back to the sycamore tree in the corner of the yard.

……

The school has regained its usual bustle and liveliness with the return of students.

The peak hours for people flow are during the time when classes start and end.

The roads between the teaching buildings are crowded with people.

It was even more crowded.

"Damn, there are so many people every time the get out of class is over."

Zhuge Yun was really impatient with this crowded scene.

Xiao Xiao also frowned slightly.

Even if he just needed to "go with the flow", the surrounding atmosphere was so close that it was still a bit unpleasant for Xiao Xiao, who didn't like close contact with people, especially strangers.

In this regard, he has the so-called "cleanliness obsession"?
"Okay, it's always like this. Don't you get tired of complaining every time?"

Zhang Bo rolled his eyes at Zhuge Yun.

"Brother, it will be fine once we get through this section of the journey."

Zhao Lu was trying to comfort Zhuge Yundao.

"So, why don't we leave later?"

Zhuge Yun suggested this for who knows how many times.

"No, there won't be any seats left in the cafeteria, and the delicious dishes won't be available."

Zhang Bo's answer was powerful and matter-of-fact, just like every other answer he had given before.

Zhuge Yun: ...

Xiao Xiao: ...

Zhao Luzheng: ...

The fact... was indeed so, they were speechless and unable to refute.

……

Xiao Xiao turned his head suddenly, with a demonic aura.

But in the next second, Xiao Xiao's eyes widened for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and the blue veins on his forehead were jumping happily.

What is this monster...doing?
However, this monster can actually climb trees? !
No, that's not the point. The point is that he was trembling and about to faint. If he was so scared, why did he climb up the tree?
……

"What's the matter, third child?"

Zhuge Yun noticed something strange about Xiao Xiao, and followed Xiao Xiao's line of sight, and saw a big tree with lush branches and leaves.

What happened to that big tree?

Zhuge Yun looked left and right but didn't see anything unusual, so he cast a strange and puzzled look at Xiao Xiao.

"what happened?"

"Third brother?"

After hearing Zhuge Yun's question, Zhang Bo and Zhao Luzheng, although they didn't understand what happened, still subconsciously asked similar questions. "It's okay."

Xiao Xiao smiled at Zhuge Yun and the others, "I just suddenly remembered that I left my pencil case in the classroom."

"You guys go ahead, I'll go back to the classroom to get it."

"Oh, okay, let's go to the cafeteria and reserve a seat."

"Ah."

……

Xiao Xiao walked towards the teaching building. After walking for a while, he looked back and watched the figures of Zhang Bo and others gradually disappear into the distance. Until a corner blocked his sight, he turned around and walked towards the big tree where he had seen a monster before.

He didn't walk fast, and even walked slowly on purpose.

The students around were in a hurry, most of them were heading towards the cafeteria, and the rest were either going to the dormitory or outside.

Although they were heading in the same direction, Xiao Xiao seemed to be isolated from the crowd on both sides, walking at his own pace.

He was waiting for his classmates to leave.

……

Soon, almost all the students in this area had left.

It was bustling before, but now there are only a few people. Without the students, there is a sense of quietness and emptiness here.

Xiao Xiao did not quicken his pace, but his eyes were fixed on a monster that was shivering and asking for help while hugging a branch in a tree.

Her deep green eyes were tearful, and she looked like she could cry at any moment.

"How on earth did you climb up this tree?"

Obviously so scared.

Xiao Xiao walked towards the inside of the big tree and looked up at a monster that was looking at him with surprise.

I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way.

It is indeed very unique.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and laughed.

……

"Come down, there's no one else around."

Xiao Xiao called softly.

The monkey hugged the branch in its arms like a sloth bear. Upon hearing this, it looked around and found that there were indeed no other humans who made it uneasy.

The tense heartbeat finally calmed down.

The monkey grabbed the tree trunk with its four limbs and slowly moved down.

……

Xiao Xiao: ...

Although the posture was a bit ugly and funny, but the monkey did get down from the tree steadily?
Xiao Xiao twitched his eyes. When it was very close to the ground, the monkey should have wanted to jump down directly, but it squatted on the ground with its buttocks, making a dull sound, and it seemed that even the leaves on the branches trembled slightly because of it.

The eyes of the monkey were instantly filled with moisture, and tears that were about to fall hung in the corners of his eyes.

I just sat on the ground like this for a while.

……

Xiao Xiao sighed silently.

He walked forward, "Are you okay, bastard?"

After a while, under Xiao Xiao's gaze, the monkey slowly stood up and made a few weak calls, "…Mee~Mee~"

It seems okay.

"So, can you tell me why you are here?"

Xiao Xiao looked up at the big tree in front of him, then looked at the monster that had suddenly become silent.

……

The monkey seemed to be thinking about how to tell the story.

"Baa~baa~baa~"

Xiao Xiao: ...

Sorry, they are not of the same kind and he cannot understand what a certain monster is saying.

However, looking at the monkey that was pointing and gesticulating, he seemed to be able to see something.

Based on his own guesses, Xiao Xiao asked, "Is there a problem with your habitat?"

"Mea~"

The monkey nodded.

"An outsider appeared?"

"Mea~"

The monkey nodded vigorously.
