"Someone came to inquire about me?"
When he heard Lin Sisi talking about this matter, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but be smart.
I originally thought that I had done it secretly enough, but I didn't expect that in just two days, someone would actually find this place.
"Hmm... do you know who they are? And why do they say they are here to find me?"
Zhang Xiaoman carefully asked the doubts in his heart, but he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Is it useful to ask such a detailed question to a little girl who is invisible to others?
Unexpectedly, Lin Sisi was not as confused as he thought. Instead, she chuckled and said:
"Of course I know! They should be two old Taoist priests. Their accents don't seem to be locals. They may be from near Qionghua City. As for why I am sure they are here to find you, that's because I heard a young lady moving toward me. Xiang Xiang said that he saw Master Pei setting up a stall here two days ago..."
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "So awesome! You can even tell their identities?"
Lin Sisi smiled slightly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. It's just that when you can't see with your eyes, if you listen with your ears, you can hear a lot of things that you couldn't hear before."
She grabbed Zhang Xiaoman's sleeve and followed him step by step into a small alley, saying playfully:
"Just like when we entered this alley just now, I heard a child playing with pesticides on the edge of the intersection. He should be playing with Li Bai; and three meters behind me, an aunt riding a battery scooter stopped. Picking up the vegetables that fell on the ground; on the telephone pole on the left, two pigeons landed on it and called twice..."
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. Isn't this girl so awesome? Why does this feel like you have super powers?
Lin Sisi explained: "In fact, these are not difficult to do, but sometimes everyone relies too much on their eyes, so it is easy to ignore what the ears hear."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded suddenly. He didn't expect that although this girl couldn't see, her view of the world was no more blurry than anyone else's.
"Ah, by the way, did those two people ask you about me later?" Zhang Xiaoman suddenly remembered the topic just now.
"I asked, they want to know if there is a master named Pei nearby." Lin Sisi said.
"What happened next? What did you say?" Zhang Xiaoman asked nervously.
Lin Sisi said innocently: "I told them that I didn't know about Master Pei and had never heard of him..."
Zhang Xiaoman took a breath after hearing this.
If you go by what this girl said, then the matter is just as I expected first. It only spread on a small scale within their circle and did not spread to the society or the government.
After chatting with the little girl for a while, the two of them arrived at their destination in a short while.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't stay too long after sending her home. After saying a few words, he turned around and left.
During this period, the little girl was very happy and said that she was really happy to have someone to chat with her and hoped to play with him next time.
In this regard, despite being single for many years, Zhang Xiaoman still knew how to answer, and the two immediately exchanged phone numbers for future contact.
After coming out of Lin Sisi's house, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the time and saw that more than an hour had passed.
Without further delay, he immediately found an online taxi and headed to the woods in the north of the city.
In the grove, it was the same place as a few days ago, lush and green, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The flowers on the locust trees were blooming like snow, and the fragrance was refreshing.
If there were a little less chirping of cicadas and a little more tranquility, it would be a wonderful place.
But Zhang Xiaoman had no time to appreciate everything here. He had already arrived at the place where he made the last record. When he arrived here, he was fully armed.
Steel bars were inserted into the body armor and he put it on his body. He held a water gun in one hand and a thermal imaging camera in the other.
Now every time he walks a short distance, he will carefully observe it several times with naked eyes and thermal imaging, in case he encounters an ambush Bone Eater.
In this way, Zhang Xiaoman only walked forward a hundred meters, which took more than ten minutes. He was already covered in sweat in such an environment.
Now he doesn't care about so much. Zhang Xiaoman is still pushing forward in this small forest with great caution. After all, life is the first priority. No one else can help him here, so he can only Can rely on oneself.
After walking forward slowly for about twenty minutes, Zhang Xiaoman began to wonder if there were no more weird things here, and the idea of absorbing space nodes might also come to nothing.
Just when he was hesitating to give up, the purple light that suddenly appeared at the end of his field of vision immediately attracted his attention.
"That is……"
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up. This light was very familiar to him. It was the same as the one he had seen on the island in the lake in the community.
"Space node!"
Zhang Xiaoman was immediately cheered up, and his spirit, which was already a little tired, suddenly became excited.
In fact, from his current position, he could already faintly feel the energy fluctuations coming from the nearby environment, but he still dared not confirm it directly until he saw it with his own eyes.
"Steady, steady!"
Zhang Xiaoman forcibly suppressed the urge to run over directly, and kept telling himself in his heart that the more at this moment, the more calm he must be.
He carefully looked around the area with a thermal imager and found no trace of the Bone-Eating Demon. Only then did Zhang Xiaoman quietly approach the front a short distance away.
This time, he really saw the source of the purple light. It was indeed the kind of space node he saw last time! Unexpectedly, after so many days, he finally discovered this good thing that represented a lot of points.
However, in the place in front, Zhang Xiaoman also saw many other things besides the space nodes.
They were small translucent bugs, about seven or eight in size, each about the size of an adult's two fists.
At this moment, they were squirming aimlessly around a tombstone there. They didn't look very fast, as if they were a group of harmless silkworm babies.
But Zhang Xiaoman knew that these things could never be as cute as silkworm babies, and their translucent state clearly explained their identity.
Weird things from unknown realms!
"Are these parasitic spirits?"
Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself with some confusion. He was hiding behind a big tree at the moment, sticking his head out to secretly observe these guys.
