Chapter 1,654 The Old Mans Worries
"Master Xiao Xiao will have some trouble finding it."
The little white fox tilted his head and glanced upward at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao looked at the direction where the little ghost disappeared, with a somewhat thoughtful look on his face.
"......uncertain."
...
The kid stumbled and fell into the bushes.
Branches and leaves hit it.
Somewhat itchy.
It's not as painful as the sun falling on it just now.
Its heart skipped a beat.
I was worried that the noise I would make if I fell in would be too great.
After a while, after realizing that nothing happened, the kid carefully got up from the ground slowly.
It covers its mouth.
Heavy breathing escaped from between the fingers.
It covered its mouth harder.
There is a taste of rust in the mouth.
It didn't care, or rather, it didn't notice it.
It looked out through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
The human didn't come after him.
Is it safe?
It doesn't know.
...
The sun is gradually setting in the west.
The beautiful red clouds filled the entire sky.
The burning heat in the air dissipated somewhat.
The sky slowly darkened.
The kid knew he was safe for the time being.
It turned around and looked around.
There are more and more people coming and going.
Sometimes he is walking in a hurry, or he is chatting and laughing with his companions.
Or looking down at something.
...
The street lights came on.
There was a look of disgust on the kid's face.
There are almost no humans left outside.
The aroma of food wafts in the air.
It ducked out of the bushes.
Then he quickly ran up the tree with his hands and feet.
After it sat back on the tree trunk, with the dense branches and leaves covering its figure, it finally let out a slow breath.
But it is still suppressed and silent.
There was a dull pain everywhere in his body.
A tearing pain came from inside the body.
It knows.
This is a sequelae.
In order to survive, being injured is nothing.
Even if you are scarred, as long as you can survive in the end.
Then everything is worth it.
...
The kid raised his head.
The crisscrossing branches are covered with layers of green leaves.
Moonlight leaked in between the branches and green leaves.
It illuminates a bit of the field of vision in front of it.
It tilted its head, its face looking pale and weak.
His eyelids drooped.
The serious injuries he had never experienced before and the thrill of escaping from death all made him feel very tired.
It's so tiring.
The inner emotions have never been completely relieved.
The nerves were always tense.
Remind it that the crisis is not over yet.
It squeezed the hand hanging by its side.
Thinking of that human being, its eyes were gloomy, but there was a trace of fear spreading across it.
From the bottom of its eyes to its entire face.
How could there be such powerful humans?
The kid's facial features are distorted.
How did it meet that human being?
That nasty, damn human... actually caused it such misery?!
it......
The kid wanted to say something harsh like revenge.
But he discovered the cowardice in his heart.
That human really makes it feel scared.
Even though it suffered such a big loss, it still accepted it.
It just wants to never see that human again.
Never again.
...
The little boy has many emotions.
It didn't fall asleep until a faint light appeared in the eastern sky.
The furrowed brow showed that it was not sleeping very peacefully.
...
At noon the next day, Grandma Zhang came downstairs after finishing her meal.
She slowly walked to her old place and sat down on the stone bench.
The kittens quickly gathered around.
She laughed.
He bent down and reached out to gently touch the kittens' heads.
"Meow~meow~"
The kittens nuzzled the old man's hand.
The warm, soft touch made the old man's eyes narrow.
...
After playing with the kitten for a while, the old man sat up straight.
The kittens are eating.
She turned around and looked.
She was a little disappointed when she didn't see a familiar figure.
"Ahem~"
She lowered her head and coughed a few times.
Her health is getting worse and worse.
His spirits were getting worse and worse.
She smiled slightly and whispered softly: "Old man, I will come to see you soon."
"You must be impatient with waiting, right?"
...
"Meow~meow~"
The kittens finished their meal and rubbed the old man's feet.
The old man bent down and touched the kittens' heads, "Let's go play."
As if they understood what the old man said, the kittens barked at the old man a few more times and then turned and ran away.
Looking at the kittens leaving, the old man looked very gentle.
...
The old man turned around and searched everywhere again.
Soon, a look of disappointment appeared on her face again.
Aren't you coming today?
Did something happen?
The old man became worried.
She stood up.
But found that her feet didn't know where to go?
She was stunned for a while.
Then the corners of his mouth curled up into a wry smile.
"Ahem~"
She felt her throat was a little itchy.
"Cough cough~ cough cough."
She coughed so much that her whole body was shaking slightly.
Her hand touched back, and she slowly sat back.
"Ahem~"
There was a violent cough, her vision blurred for a moment, and her body couldn't help but fall forward.
She covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide.
Then, just when she was panicking in anticipation of the pain that would follow, she discovered that she was being held by someone.
She turned her head.
no one?
Quickly realizing something, she looked down and saw a familiar figure.
The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes stretched.
Smile deeply.
"It is you."
"You came."
...
The kid pursed his lips.
It didn't want to appear.
These are extraordinary times.
Its situation is very dangerous.
But it heard the movement under the tree.
The familiar figure made it react. Did it choose to hide in the tree here?
It was not found.
Thinking that he had come here unconsciously, the kid's face looked a little strange.
It saw the old man looking for it.
Watching the old man feeding the cat as usual.
Before, it would sit next to the old man or squat on the ground and watch the old man feeding the cat.
This time, I was hiding in a tree and watching the old man feeding the cat.
The difference in perspective also causes subtle changes in its mood.
...
The kid heard the old man coughing.
At first, it didn't know what a cough was.
After all, he never coughed.
However, the old man's face doesn't look good when he coughs.
The frown also showed the old man's discomfort.
So, it knows that coughing is bad.
...
The old man coughed again.
Since it met the old man, the old man's coughs have become more and more frequent.
The old man told it it didn't matter.
But it knows that this is nothing to worry about.
...
Seeing that the old man was about to fall, before it hesitated, its feet rushed to the old man's side with it and supported the old man's arm.
It breathed a sigh of relief.
A little annoyed again.
But seeing the old man smiling at it, it subconsciously opened its lips.
...
The kid's heart was filled with panic and uneasiness.
It is afraid of the sudden appearance of that terrible human being.
The old man noticed something strange about the kid.
She thought about her previous guess.
"Did something happen?"
The smile on her face faded, and her eyes were full of worry.
