"Xiao Zhao."
The man with black-rimmed glasses reached out and patted the woman's shoulder gently, "It's okay."
"We can just watch quietly."
"……Um."
The woman clenched her hands and finally responded.
…
Xiao Xiao walked to the front of the tombstone.
At this time, the wind and rain were blowing, and the leaves and branches were blown and rustling.
There was a din in my ears.
The dim sky makes it difficult to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Of course, that's just for other people.
Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, and everything in his eyes was revealed.
The tombstone was trembling slightly.
The creatures underground are already impatient to see the light of day again.
…
Xiao Xiao's expression changed.
Gu Diao caught up with the escaping Dao Lao Ghost.
It took a little longer than Xiao Xiao expected.
Realizing that Gu Diao was not very happy about this, he laughed a little.
After all, this area is the territory of Dao Laogui.
In terms of familiarity, Gu Diao is far behind.
The opponent occupies a favorable location and is agile and fast.
The Gu Eagle in the air will lose its trace if not careful.
I almost lost him a few times.
At that time, the Gu Eagle flapped its wings fiercely, and a hurricane roared towards the bottom. The Dao Lao Ghost rolled out with his head in his hands.
Gu Diao's crimson vertical pupils revealed an almost imperceptible smile, but it was cold and ferocious.
Later, it was found that this method was effective, and the Gu Diao "expelled" the Gu Diao all the way until the Dao Lao Gui complained incessantly and was in a state of embarrassment.
Fortunately, the wind and rain brought by Dao Lao Gui somewhat obscured this huge movement, and it was in a remote mountain, so it did not attract any extra attention.
In the end, Dao Laogui finally became Gu Diao's meal.
but-
Feeling that the Gu Diao's mood was a little worse, he made some guesses, "Is there another Dao Lao ghost that hasn't been discovered yet?"
The previous order he gave Gu Diao was not only to deal with the escaped Dao Lao ghost, but later he added an additional order - to search for another Dao Lao ghost and deal with it.
"Jie Jie~"
The good mood I had after the meal was completely shattered by the lack of progress on the second task.
It turned its head, looking at the forest below, its vertical pupils shrank into needles for a moment, its eyes were extremely sharp with a hint of blood.
"It will be found."
Xiao Xiao smiled softly, "After all, it's there, isn't it?"
Male and female Swordsmen never stray far from each other.
…
After letting Gu Diao continue to search for the remaining Dao Lao Ghost, Xiao Xiao's eyes fell on the tombstone in front of him again.
A photo of a girl with a bright smile.
The youthful atmosphere has been prematurely dyed with a gray tone.
"Dong dong dong~"
The crashing sound became more pronounced.
The rainwater flowed over the girl's photo, making her smile a little blurry.
…
"Offended."
Xiao Xiao looked at the girl's smiling eyes and said softly.
"The remains of fat insects."
"Drag the coffin under this tombstone out of the ground."
He wouldn't destroy the tombstone above it unless he had no other choice.
The only way, then, is to start from below.
"Start digging a tunnel in the forest over there."
Xiao Xiao confessed to the fat insect.
Try to keep this place as intact as possible.
…
In the eyes of the woman and the man with black-rimmed glasses, Xiao Xiao just stood motionless in front of the tombstone.
"Mr. Xiao Xiao..."
The woman wiped the water droplets from her eyes, not caring that most of her clothes were wet, and stared at Xiao Xiao who had his back to them without blinking, "What is he doing?"
"have no idea."
The man with black-framed eyes took off his glasses, and his vision became blurry for a moment.
He wiped the lenses randomly with his clothes a few times, "You can't tell what he was doing at all."
"We at least got to see him hold your hand while he detoxified you."
"Now-"
The man with black-rimmed glasses put his eyes back on the bridge of his nose, squinted his eyes slightly through the rain curtain, "Although his back is to us..."
However, even if his back is turned to them, if the other party makes a move, they should be able to see it.
Is it because of the weather?
He looked up at the dim sky.
A drop of rain fell into his eyes.
He closed his eyes subconsciously.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that Mr. Xiao Xiao was no longer in his original position.
He was startled.
As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw Mr. Xiao Xiao walking to the other side.
"Mr. Xiao Xiao!"
He couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Mr. Xiao Xiao!"
The woman raised her hands like trumpets on both sides of her mouth and shouted, "Where are you going?"
"There are woods over there."
Xiao Xiao paused slightly.
He turned around and waved to the two of them, "I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Stay there and don't move."
"Or you can find a place to take shelter from the rain."
After saying that, without waiting for the two people to respond, he walked straight into the dark woods not far away.
Woman and man with black-rimmed glasses:...
"Xiao Zhao, do you want to find a place to take shelter from the rain?"
The man with black-rimmed glasses looked at the woman, "You were poisoned just before, your body-"
"Do not worry about it."
The woman interrupted the man with black-rimmed glasses and said, "There is nothing wrong with my health."
"I'm already wet anyway, so I don't care if I get wet for a while longer."
"Although Mr. Xiao Xiao asked us not to follow him, we can wait here until he comes back as soon as possible, right?"
"You should be able to know something by then, right?"
The woman stared intently at the place where Mr. Xiao Xiao disappeared, waiting for him to reappear at some unknown time.
.....
The man with black-rimmed glasses did not insist.
To be honest, he was in the same mood as the woman. He was somewhat anxious and couldn't take the step to leave.
He listened carefully.
He didn't know if it was because they were far away, and coupled with the heavy wind and rain, he could no longer hear the "dong dong dong" sound coming from under the tombstone.
He couldn't help but lean forward a little.
I think I heard it again?
I wanted to confirm again, but apart from the sound of wind, rain and the rustling of branches and leaves, there were no other sounds.
.....
"Xia Suwen."
The woman's eyes were still looking directly at the direction Xiao Xiao left, "Do you want to go over and have a look?"
His straightforward tone was trembling slightly, with a bit of uncontrollable nervousness.
"ah?"
The man with black-rimmed glasses was stunned, "But Mr. Xiao Xiao-"
"I know."
The woman interrupted the man's words, "I know."
"He told us not to follow him."
"He told us to stay here."
"But-"
The woman turned to look at the man with black-rimmed glasses, "Aren't you curious?"
"What is Mr. Xiao Xiao doing now?"
"..."
The man with black-rimmed glasses was silent.
It would be a lie to say that I am not curious.
He couldn't help but look at the woods over there.
The branches with their teeth and claws slapping randomly cast a somewhat eerie shadow, which made his heart skip a beat.
"never mind."
The man with black-rimmed glasses shook his head, "I still don't want it."
"It would be bad if it causes trouble to Mr. Xiao Xiao."
The woman's face showed a bit of unwillingness, "But..."
