"Um...ah...uncle!"
"What?"
The sound of human shouting came from the other side of the wall. It seemed that Qi Zhuyue had deliberately raised her voice in order to attract the attention of the middle-aged woman and Wen Jianyuan.
It's a stupid method, but it's very effective.
Taking advantage of the human's distraction, Bai Su jumped up from the ground neatly, landed lightly on the courtyard wall without making any sound, stepped on the tiles, and then jumped onto the road outside.
Between two points, a straight line is the shortest.
When you can directly climb over the wall, there is no need to go through the door, which will take a long detour.
Humans may not think so, but that doesn't matter.
Monsters don't need to think about humans all the time, not to mention that they can solve this small problem.
Bai Su followed the young man with a dark shadow on his face. Almost the moment he saw him, Bai Su knew that this was the existence that really caught his attention.
The first four humans replaced by black sludge were just a cover-up.
Now, Bai Su chased him out. He took a moment to identify the direction and then continued running.
Go straight and enter the path in the woods ahead. Because it is closer to the village and it is daytime, darkness does not spread into the village so quickly.
Not long after, the target who fled into the woods returned to the village.
Bai Su's pursuit was not slow, but considering that climbing over the wall was still within the capabilities of normal people, it was a bit shocking to lift all the trees blocking the road and move in a straight line, so he still turned a corner in the woods.
When he was about to pass a corner in the village, the black-haired young man sensed something in advance and stopped.
He stopped, but the man behind the corner didn't.
The running child turned the corner and saw the figure in front of her, but due to inertia she couldn't stop, and her whole body bumped into Bai Su's leg.
The girl's nose hurt from the collision, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
She was about to cry, but then she looked up and met a pair of eyes that were so dark that she couldn't see her emotions. The girl suppressed her cry and hiccupped her cry.
The girl was frightened and froze in place at a loss.
Children are always sensitive and can see many things that adults cannot.
"Is my face scary?" The black-haired young man, who was self-conscious about not being scary, touched his face in confusion, "Isn't it popular with many girls?"
Baisu refers to fans on the Internet, mostly women.
"What is your... name?"
Bai Su thought for a moment and remembered that his grandma called her A Hong. If her surname was Wen, it would probably be Wen Hong or Wen Shahong.
According to the fact that women in Wenjia Village all have one-character names, the girl should be named Wen Hong.
When he shouted, the girl raised her head and pursed her lips in response.
Tears hung in his eyes, trying not to fall, as if they were on the verge of falling.
While Bai Su was staying here, the two humans who had dealt with the middle-aged woman and Wen Jianyuan finally caught up with him.
As soon as they came over, they saw a scene that looked like an adult causing trouble to a little girl, and their vision was a bit strange.
But they also know that Bai Su is not such a bad person, unless he competes with the girl for food.
Bai Su:?
Bai Su: It’s not impossible.
The black-haired young man, who rarely made concessions when it came to food, seriously thought about the possibilities. His thoughts wandered away for a moment, but he quickly put them back.
He pointed at the girl and said, "She didn't stop and bumped into me."
Today's little girl is still wearing a warm-colored skirt, with fine petals embellished with lace, and the style of the skirt is a bit Western-style.
She didn't hold yesterday's ball in her hand, but an ugly fish doll with arms and legs.
Weird aesthetic, weird dolls.
"No..." Tang Nuo held his forehead, "Didn't you come out to..." Looking for someone?
The young man wearing glasses did not say the last two words. He frowned and looked at the girl, trying to signal Bai Su to get out of the way.
Since this little girl has nothing to do with the person they are looking for, there is no need to block her.
Humans moved out of the way, but monsters leaned down.
"What are you going to do?" The black-haired young man lowered his gaze to the same level as the girl, his eyes of the same color slightly curved, "Can you tell me?"
Bai Su's tone was calm, but combined with his movements and his temperament, it was like he was questioning a child.
The little girl was trembling, looking ready to burst into tears again.
Qi Zhuyue couldn't bear it and wanted to say a few words to the little girl. Before she could speak, she heard a timid childish voice.
"Dog..." the little girl said and took a breath, "I need to ask Brother Xuanxuan to help me find a dog."
dog.
The first thing Qi Zhuyue thought of was the big yellow dog that Bai Su said was problematic yesterday.
If there is something wrong with the dog, it doesn’t matter if you throw it away, right?
Although children will be sad, it is better than leaving a time bomb around.
The woman with braided hair squatted down, but what she was thinking was different from what she said: "Who is brother Xuanxuan?"
The girl puffed her lips and whispered: "Brother Xuanxuan is brother Xuanxuan, I am going to find him."
Qi Zhuyue thought for a while, and was about to ask if they needed to send it away. She turned around to seek the opinions of her two companions, when she caught a glimpse of the black-haired young man who was lost in some subtle thinking.
After a while, he licked his lips, showing a contented and somewhat aftertasteful expression.
That dog is salt and pepper.
If I have to describe it in more detail, it should be crispy and golden potatoes pressed with oil, sprinkled with a finely ground powder made from a mixture of Sichuan peppercorns and salt.
One bite, two bites, three bites - oh no, no three bites, just a small country dog with not so much meat on its body.
"...That, Baisu...Baisu!"
Tang Nuo called twice and finally regained Bai Su's consciousness.
"Huh?" The black-haired young man responded with a nasal voice, and suppressed the gluttony on his face, "I was just thinking about something and got distracted."
Qi Zhuyue, who was still squatting next to the little girl, didn't want to ask Bai Su what he was thinking.
I feel like if I ask... I will get a very perfunctory answer.
"What did you think of?"
"Yesterday's dinner."
You know... Qi Zhuyue sighed and was about to tell Tang Nuo to send the little girl back to her home first - Huh?
The black-haired young man leaned down again, occupying the little girl's field of vision.
Bai Su thought for a moment and asked, "Does the brother you mentioned have a large black mark on the left side of his face?"
There was no reason to speculate, Bai Su just felt this way, so he asked.
Regardless of the adults' reactions, the little girl was stunned for a moment and immediately hugged the ugly fish doll in her arms tightly.
"You...how did you know..." The child blurted out without hiding the secret. It was already too late when she wanted to cover her mouth.
Bai Su didn't care about the little girl's caution. He bent his eyes and said with a smile, "I just met him and was about to go find him."
This sentence is not a lie. Meeting him does not mean he knows him. He really wants to find someone.
He was even on the way to find someone, but he only stopped when he bumped into a little girl.
The little girl's questions were also those of the other two, but they were not as entangled as the little girl.
Tang Nuo frowned and pulled Qi Zhuyue's arm from the little girl's invisible perspective, signaling her not to speak for the time being.
Then, the two enjoyed a scene of an adult fooling a child.
The little girl had doubts about Bai Su's statement and asked several questions in a confused manner. Bai Su answered them one by one. He also pointed out the bad relationship between the young man and the village and adapted everything that had just happened. .
Bai Su said that they had just chatted with the young man, and before they had time to ask his name, the brother the little girl mentioned met someone from the village.
He described the appearance of the woman who had a particularly fierce argument with the young man, and the little girl nodded.
"The man ran away after that, and we are on the way to find him." Bai Su said, his tone flat and without any fluctuations.
Seeing that the little girl seemed a little convinced, he made a further request: "Can you take us to your brother?"
"I hit it off with him and really wanted to get to know him."
The black-haired young man's lies made Tang Nuo's nerves jump and his ears kept ringing. It wasn't until Bai Su closed his mouth that the human condition got better.
"You..." The young man wearing glasses grasped the clothes on his arm, "Next time you want to lie, please say hello to me."
Bai Su, who was watching the little girl run away, turned around, looked at Donobi's face that had turned several shades pale before, and blinked innocently.
Later, he sighed: "Senior Tang's ability is really easy to use."
The human couldn't deny it and rubbed his sore temples.
…
The little girl ultimately did not agree to their peers' request and quickly ran away before they could catch up.
She thought she had run far away, but judging from the pace of a child, it wouldn't take long for an adult to keep up.
Bai Su and his group stayed far behind, watching the little girl in front of her walking around, and looking back from the front from time to time. They thought they were working very hard to see if there was a follower.
The stalkers could only respond to the little girl's poor counter-reconnaissance skills by shaking their heads and sighing.
Qi Zhuyue just shook her head, and at the same time shrank back behind the wall, hiding herself behind the two men.
They followed the little girl for a while, and the road became more and more remote, reaching the edge of the village.
Different from the corner of Wen Tao's house, Wen Tao's house is still within the village, and you can see your neighbors after a short walk. However, the young man's house you are going to now is different. From a certain moment, there are only two sides of the road. In the bare wasteland, there are occasional trees standing there, but it is difficult for a single tree to become a forest.
"It feels... very lonely." Qi Zhuyue said emotionally, "And with the situation in their village... are they really not scared at night?"
Qi Zhuyue's question was answered by Tang Nuo, "Maybe people are unconscious at night."
It is indeed possible, refer to the video taken by Bai Su.
The village was deserted, and the patrols were not villagers with normal consciousness.
However, when it comes to Bai Su... Qi Zhuyue looked to the side and saw the black-haired young man's limp hair being slightly blown by the wind.
She always felt that... Bai Su seemed to have a heavier sense of reality from just a moment ago.
It's probably this feeling. It's difficult for humans to describe the real feeling. They can only feel it.
Did Bai Su do something to himself? Keeping such doubts, they followed to their destination.
"We're here," said Tang Nuo, who was walking at the front.
The little girl in front was a little tired after walking all the way. She changed the doll she was holding under her arms and stopped to take a few breaths.
Then the little girl finished her rest and was about to finish the journey in one go. When she looked up, she saw a face she didn't want to see.
The girl took in a breath without exhaling. She held it in her mouth and her face turned red. She took a half step back as alertly as a small animal: "You, why are you here?"
The little girl thought that she had obviously observed it, and then she thought of the cunningness of adults.
If...if her rhubarb was still here, she would definitely be able to spot the adult following secretly behind her.
However, the purpose of the little girl's trip was to find someone to help her find the dog that had been missing since dawn.
Her grandma said that she probably went out to have fun and might come back when she got tired, but she wandered around the village for a long time and didn't see him.
The little girl subconsciously felt that something was wrong with Dahuang, so she quietly ran to find her trusted brother.
Even though no one in the village welcomes this brother, he is very good at helping her find dogs, and Dahuang listens to him very much.
So why? Such a good brother would be driven to the edge of the village.
Her grandmother said the man was not driven out of the village just because his surname was Wen.
Children cannot understand such profound things, so in the little girl's perception, the village is divided into two very separate sides, and she is in a position in the middle where the boundary is unclear.
Bai Su watched with interest as the little girl's expression changed again and again, with various emotions brewing on her little face.
The child was still too immature, and Bai Su didn't hold her as he did yesterday. The girl hesitated and stepped back decisively.
She ran back, and within two steps she saw Tang Nuo and Qi Zhuyue approaching slowly, and her eyes widened again.
There is a "wolf" in front and a "tiger" in the back.
The little girl screamed and changed direction. Without thinking about how to get rid of the bad adults, she rushed straight towards the room where her brother lived. After rushing past, she slammed the door.
"Mr. Bai." Qi Zhuyue approached, but hesitated to speak, "If you bully children like this, you will attract hatred."
"Well..." Bai Su held a different view, "The little girl's grandmother doesn't seem to care. As for the young man we are looking for... I think I gave him a bad impression when he came to our door."
The black-haired young man shrugged helplessly and continued walking forward, trying to catch up with the little girl before she knocked on the door.
"Oh, right." Bai Su took two steps, stopped, and turned back, "I have a question ahead of me."
The black-haired young man stretched out his finger and tapped his left cheek in the sun, which happened to be the area on the face of the young man with "Xuan" in his name that was occupied by a black shadow.
"Have you seen the way the black shadow moves on people's faces?"
"It's like it's alive, swimming from here to there in this area of the face."
His fingertips drew a circle on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, the pupils of the human in front of him shrank.
Sure enough, Bai Su thought as he pressed his cheek, humans couldn't see the abnormality just now.
