Bai Youyou naturally knew that the old woman's proposal to separate the action must have bad intentions, but since she had already proposed it, no matter how Qiao Xiang objected, it would be useless. It was better to go with the flow and see what she wanted to do.
Of course, more importantly, Qiao Xiang is just an ordinary person. Even if she goes with Qiao Qing and others, Qiao Xiang is still powerless to do what the other party wants to do, even if she tells the old woman and the old man that they are ghosts.
, it’s just one more person to worry about.
And as for her...
Call her cold-blooded or call her vicious. Before she figured out how to survive, she would never openly confront the ghosts and monsters in the entire Youdu for the sake of the Qiao family brothers and sisters.
Seeing Qiao Xiang cast an incredulous look at her, Bai Youyou did not explain. This was not the time to explain, not to mention that anyone with a little bit of brain could understand the truth. If Qiao Xiang couldn't figure it out, then just follow
She has nothing to do with it.
Except for Qiao Xiang, no one had any objections to this separation.
Under Bai Youyou's stop, Qiao Xiang swallowed back everything she wanted to say. Although her face was still ugly, when they separated, she told Qiao Qing and the others with tears in her eyes: "Then you guys...
must be careful."
"Look at you."
Qiao Qing and the others couldn't help but laugh: "I just went up the mountain to collect some firewood. What can happen? Besides, grandma is still here."
It was just because her grandmother was still there that she felt uneasy.
Qiao Xiang was speechless, and in the end she could only wipe her tears and watch her sister leave with the old woman.
…
The Qiao brothers and sisters parted ways.
Qiao Xiang seemed a little angry at Bai Youyou's behavior. She didn't hold Bai Youyou's hand as before, but kept walking with Qiao Xi. Bai Youyou didn't care about this, but she walked away
When they were halfway up the mountain, Qiao Yan slowly came to her side. She glanced at Qiao Xiang, whose back was straight, and her eyes were full of gloating: "Do you regret it?"
Qiao Yan's appearance was really flattering. Bai Youyou knew what she wanted to say as soon as he saw her expression: "What?"
Qiao Yan raised her eyebrows: "You saved her, but she left you behind."
"She also wanted to save you, but she was powerless."
Qiao Yan:......
The expression on her face froze, and then she walked past Bai Youyou with a cold snort. I don't know whether she did it intentionally or not, but when she passed Bai Youyou, her hand touched Bai Youyou's wrist.
Bai Youyou frowned instantly.
This feeling...
It seems like it's not as cold as it was in the morning.
Could it be an illusion?
Bai Youyou thought of the yin energy in Qiao Xiang's body, and thought that the old woman also had body temperature, and even the old man had it. So, was Qiao Yan's actions this morning robbing Qiao Xiang's body body temperature?
In order to verify his idea, Bai Youyou speeded up and wanted to touch Qiao Xiang. At this moment, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the woods next to the mountain road. A sense of danger came over, and Bai Youyou instinctively stepped back.
After two steps, before she could stand still, she heard a scream from ahead. She raised her eyes and saw a figure being dragged into the forest——
And the scene,
Qiao Xi was there, Qiao Yan was there, and the old man was there, but Qiao Xiang disappeared.
"Xiangxiang!" Qiao Xi came back to her senses and immediately wanted to catch up, but was held back by Qiao Yan: "Be careful."
The slope is steep and covered with trees, but you can't see the end at a glance. If you don't pay attention, you will fall to the bottom of the cliff. Only then did Qiao Xi realize that she had almost had an accident. She widened her eyes and looked very anxious: "But Xiang Xiang
Fragrant her..."
As she spoke, she looked at the old man again, tears falling instantly: "Grandpa, what's going on, what is that, why, why did Xiangxiang disappear in the blink of an eye? She, will she be okay...
Woo hoo…”
Qiao Xi was immediately moved to tears.
"Maybe it's a python in the forest." The old man's expression didn't look good: "Logically speaking, pythons shouldn't appear this season, but now -"
Qiao Xi's eyes widened: "Python, python?"
"But, why are there pythons here?"
More importantly, why didn't you tell the python earlier and why did you go up the mountain to collect firewood?
Although Qiao Xi was anxious, her thinking was extremely clear. She wanted to ask, but the old man didn't give her a chance at all, and said directly: "Don't worry, I know where the python's cave is. It's the place where pythons catch people."
They will be dragged into the cave."
"Follow closely."
After the old man finished speaking, he quickened his pace and walked forward. After taking a look at the direction in which Qiao Xiang disappeared, Qiao Xi could only suppress her anxiety and followed her.
Qiao Yan followed closely behind.
Bai Youyou lowered her eyes thoughtfully and followed suit.
At the end of the path is a jungle. In the jungle are thick trees. The ground is covered with leaves. They make a swishing sound when you step on them. After twists and turns, a cave soon comes into view.
The wind blows,
There was a fishy wind blowing, mixed with the aroma of earth and grass, which was very pungent and unpleasant.
"That's the beast's cave."
When he got here, the old man turned around and said to Qiao Xi: "You guys wait for me here first. I'll go see if the beast is in the cave first."
After the old man finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the cave without waiting for Qiao Xi Qiao Yan's reply. The way he thought about Qiao Xi Qiao Yan wholeheartedly made Qiao Xi extremely moved, and the previous dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace.
Bai Youyou frowned slightly, not quite understanding what the old man wanted to do. Originally, according to her thoughts, the old man would lead them to stage a human-snake battle, but who knew that he actually chose to go alone?
cave…
After all, according to how anxious Qiao Xi is now, she will go even if the old man takes her directly to the cave!
So, did she guess wrong?
Bai Youyou found a position where she could advance, attack, retreat or defend, and decided to wait and see what would happen. She glanced at Qiao Xi and Qiao Yan again. At this moment, the two sisters were next to each other, looking at the direction in which the old man was leaving with great worry.
"Grandpa, everything will be fine."
"Definitely not."
Qiao Xi didn't notice anything was wrong with Qiao Yan at all.
Bai Youyou sighed softly.
The cave was not far from where the three of them were hiding. Within a few minutes, the old man arrived outside the cave. After pretending to observe for a while, he slowly stepped into the cave, but soon he came out again.
A piece of bloody clothes and tears rolled towards the three of them. When he got closer, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears: "Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, she was eaten."
"My granddaughter, my granddaughter was eaten!"
For a while, the old man cried so hard that he couldn't help himself.
