Several elderly people who arrived earlier gathered around when they saw Mr. Zhou.
"Old Zhou, long time no see."
"Lao Zhou, how is your grandson doing?"
"Old Zhou..."
…
Several old people soon started chatting animatedly.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao smiled and went to entertain the new guests again.
…
"Xiao Xiao." Gu Gu smiled and waved to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is the tea gone?"
"No, are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes." Xiao Xiao didn't do anything special except helping in the teahouse.
"Is something wrong?"
"Hey, your Grandpa Zhou wants to take his grandson out for a walk. After all, the child has been in the hospital for a long time and is exhausted. Now that he is finally discharged from the hospital, he just wants to go out and play all day long."
"The child is in good health and recovers quickly. Last time I went to see him, he was already in good spirits."
"I happened to want to go to Baihua Mountain. The Baihua Mountain Scenic Area at this time is very beautiful and cool, so I invited Lao Zhou to go with me."
"However, the older Zhou Zhou among us are worried that we can't take care of the children, and want to find a young person to go with us. I just want to ask you if you have time to go out and play with the old men."
"Okay." Xiao Xiao readily agreed, "I'll go with you."
…
The next day, Xiao Xiao, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, their grandson, and Gu Gu set out before seven in the morning.
Gu Gu directly took a taxi.
He said they were there to have fun and were not wasting time on the road.
Xiao Xiao naturally had no objection to this.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou didn't have any objections. They would have planned to do this if Gu Gu had not called for a taxi first. Their grandson was just in good shape and should not be bumpy. Moreover, they wanted to take their grandson to see the natural scenery, but they couldn't.
All the energy is spent on the road.
…
About two hours later, Xiao Xiao and others arrived at the foot of Baihua Mountain.
At this time, the scenic spot is already quite lively, full of people and crowded.
After all, it is summer vacation, and Baihua Mountain is a summer resort.
After Xiao Xiao and others lined up to buy tickets, they headed towards the top of the mountain. Their destination was Baihua Meadow.
…
Walking slowly along the mountain path, the trees on both sides are towering, blocking the clouds and the sun, casting variegated shadows. The "rustling" branches and leaves make a clear and sweet sound, and the air is filled with the pleasant green fragrance of grass and trees, which is refreshing.
The old people couldn't help but smile with joy on their faces.
Mr. Zhou's little grandson struggled to get rid of Grandma Zhou's hand and started running happily with his short legs.
"Baby, slow down."
Although Grandma Zhou was a little worried, she was very pleased to see her grandson, who was lying on the hospital bed not long ago, so lively now, so she did not restrain him.
This time I originally wanted to take him for a walk.
"The little guy is in good spirits." Gu Gu narrowed his eyes and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.
"As soon as I came back from the hospital, I was like a little monkey. I never had any quiet time." Although Mr. Zhou cursed, he smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face stretched out.
…
"Little squirrel~little squirrel~"
The baby squealed in a milky voice, and ran into the jungle next to it with its short legs running very fast.
"Hey, baby." Grandma Zhou was surprised.
"It's okay, Grandma Zhou, I'll follow him."
Xiao Xiao smiled reassuringly at the worried-looking Grandma Zhou, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Okay, it's okay, Xiaoxiao is watching." Grandpa Zhou saw that Grandma Zhou wanted to follow her, so he quickly stopped her, "Be careful not to fall."
"Yeah, us old arms and legs, how can we keep up with the children who are having fun." Gu Gu also advised, "Let's walk slowly, they should catch up after a while."
"Yes." Grandma Zhou's expression eased her worry a little. What Lao Zhou and Lao Gu said made sense, and she had seen Xiaoxiao since she was a child. He was a safe child, so she felt relieved.
…
"Baby?"
"Baby!"
How fast can a child walk? Besides, the little guy kept calling "little squirrel". Xiao Xiao soon saw the baby's shaking figure.
But before he could smile, he was startled by the sudden appearance of evil spirit.
I saw a few ghost-like monsters emerging from the forest and gradually surrounding the baby.
Xiao Xiao could even see the saliva flowing from the corners of their strangely cracked mouths.
A look of greed and desire.
…
Chi Mei.
Monsters born from strange air in the mountains and forests.
Killing is invisible.
…
Xiao Xiao strode forward and picked up the baby.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the baby in his arms. The little guy seemed a little confused because he was suddenly picked up, and looked at him blankly.
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He raised his eyes again, but his eyes were like glass, with blazing golden light flowing through them. There was a faint dangerous aura flowing in the air. Several Chi Mei turned pale with fright and fled in a rush.
Just a few insignificant ghosts.
…
"Feifei~Hey~Feifei~"
The baby stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to retain the fleeing Chi Mei.
Xiao Xiao:?
The tail end of those Chi Mei is a cloud of smoke-like gas, and they indeed look like they are flying when they walk.
However, can babies see Chi Mei?
"Baby, can you see those things just now?"
"Feifei left~" the baby looked aggrieved. It was obvious that Chi Mei was a novelty for the little kid, and he looked regretful and unwilling to fail to study it carefully.
It seems that you can really see it.
Xiao Xiao didn't know if this child could see from the beginning, or if he had the ability after escaping from the fire rat's flames.
Xiao Xiao prefers the latter.
If it's the former, it's impossible that some rumors haven't been spread before, unless the Zhou family really tried to hide it.
Moreover, when he carefully recalled his interactions with the Zhou family's grandparents, he did not find anything unusual.
I wonder if this special ability is a curse or a blessing for such a young child?
…
"Little squirrel~"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw the baby forgetting Chi Mei in the blink of an eye and chasing the little squirrel again.
He really is a little kid.
…
"Baby, let's go meet our grandparents and Grandpa Gu, shall we?"
After playing with the baby for a while, Xiao Xiao thought that the elderly people might be a little worried.
Especially Grandma Zhou.
The baby had no choice but to live or die and chased the little squirrel wholeheartedly.
There are a lot of squirrels in this forest. One of them disappeared, and soon another one appeared.
The little guy kept chasing it with great interest, regardless of whether it was the one he saw first.
…
After thinking about it, Xiao Xiao felt that he had to do something "dangerous".
"Philip."
"Coffee~"
"Well, let's just drive that squirrel to the tree on the roadside."
"Coffee~"
Feifei's eyes were filled with interest, and he flicked his tail, then scurried up the tree, walking elegantly towards the squirrel Xiao Xiao pointed out just now.
