Thinking of this, the young man became anxious again.
However, he looked at the sky outside and his expression became anxious.
Even in midsummer, the sky is getting dark at this time.
It's already late today.
I can only go to grandma's house tomorrow.
Thinking like this, the young man's heart was still a little restless.
He took several deep breaths and managed to suppress his excitement.
...
"妴HU~妦HU~"
The monster slightly bent its forelegs towards Xiao Xiao, thanking him for helping it get the stone back.
At the same time, I also bid farewell to this gentleman.
Now that its stone is back, it's time for it to go home.
After being out for so many days, it misses the morning light and sunset at home.
…
"Goodbye, Yuhu."
Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the monster with a smile on his face.
Then he asked as if he remembered something, "Do you know the way back from here?"
Human society is different from mountains and wilderness, and monsters can easily lose their way in it.
Wu Hu was stunned.
The way back?
Of course it-
The monster's face froze.
It discovered that maybe, probably, maybe it didn't know.
When it came, it followed its own demonic energy on the stone.
That's because it was discovered early and the smell left in the air has not dissipated.
Now that so many days have passed, let it go back with the same smell as when it came...
Is there any residual smell in the air?
Without the scent that guides the way, it just goes dark and has no idea of the way back.
…
Although the monster didn't make a sound, the expression on its face said everything.
Xiao Xiao smiled knowingly.
"I'll take you back."
"Yuhu~"
The monster's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but jump on the spot.
This gentleman is so kind!
…
"Ah, classmate Xiao, do you want to send the monster back?"
Although he couldn't hear the monster's voice, he could hear Classmate Xiao's words clearly.
He immediately expressed his stance, "I'll go too."
"I'll send the monster back with you."
Although this monster caused him a lot of suffering during this period.
However, after all, he has brought it upon himself.
On the contrary, the monster only kept whispering in his ears to return the stone to it, and did not do any other extreme behavior, which surprised him.
This was different from the monster he knew.
The monster he thought... was more cruel? Brutal?
Or like to play pranks?
It's not a good adjective anyway.
Unexpectedly, he actually encountered a monster.
Or a... quite kind-hearted monster.
You can say that, right?
This made him unable to suppress his curiosity.
Although he couldn't see the monster, he still felt a little regretful that he was separated from the monster like this.
Sending the monster home can be regarded as a perfect ending to this rare fate.
From now on, he and this monster should never interact again.
…
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"let's go."
"It's getting late."
"It's still quite a distance from here to Emerald Mountain."
"OK."
The young man took a few steps toward the door. When he realized something was wrong, he stopped and turned around.
Sure enough, classmate Xiao was still standing where he was.
Without waiting for him to ask, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked a little funny, "Do you want to take the scroll together?"
His eyes fell on the scroll that the young man held carefully in his arms.
The young man lowered his head following Classmate Xiao's gaze.
Then, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, "Hey, I forgot."
"Classmate Xiao, please wait for me."
"I'll hang up the scroll again."
The young man walked into the bedroom in a hurry.
This painting can prevent monsters from entering.
If it hadn't been for this painting, he would have suffered even more.
After thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to hang the painting back to its original place than to put it away.
…
Walking out of the bedroom, the young man found that classmate Xiao was no longer in the room.
His steps quickened.
Opening the ajar door, he saw Xiao Xiao waiting at the stairs.
"Classmate Xiao."
he shouted.
"Let's go."
Seeing the young man coming out, Xiao Xiao walked downstairs.
"Um."
The young man turned around, locked the door, and took a few steps to catch up with classmate Xiao, who had already walked away.
When they reached the roadside, the young man walked a few steps quickly and took a taxi first.
Classmate Xiao helped him a lot. He felt that he should take the initiative in trivial matters like this.
This time he did not sit in the passenger seat, but sat in the back compartment with classmate Xiao.
After getting along with him just now, he felt a lot less strange about classmate Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly when he saw that the young man turned around and looked out the window seriously after getting in the car, just like when he came.
"Kong Yi."
The young man turned around when he heard the sound.
"It's not outside."
The driver turned on the music very loudly, but he didn't expect the driver to hear anything.
"No-"
The young man lowered his voice, "-Outside?"
He looked confused.
Where is it not outside?
Wouldn't the monster follow their car on its own?
Didn’t classmate Xiao mean this before?
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's up there."
He raised his eyes and glanced above.
above?
The young man followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and looked in the direction of the roof of the car.
The above refers to...
"...roof?"
The young man finally reacted.
Xiao Xiao nodded.
The young man has grown his mouth.
Roof?!
The monster is on the roof of the car?!
This was completely different from what he thought.
He thought...
"Do you think it was chasing the car?"
Xiao Xiao curled his eyebrows in understanding.
The young man opened his mouth.
Is not it?
He always thought the monster was running beside the car, so he stared out the window as soon as he got in the car.
result……
Did he take it for granted?
The monster didn't run beside the car, but lay on the roof of the car?
The young man smiled bitterly, "Is this a hitchhiking?"
"turn out to be……"
Do monsters also know hitchhikers?
Young people always feel that their emotions are a bit complicated.
But the image of monsters in his mind became more and more vivid.
…
Xiao Xiao and Kong Yi arrived at the foot of Jade Mountain.
It's getting late now, and there aren't many people around the foot of Emerald Mountain.
On the contrary, it facilitated some of the words and deeds of Xiao Xiao and Kong Yi.
…
"妴HU~妦HU~"
Seeing the familiar scenery, the monster's face showed a big smile.
Finally came home.
Although I actually didn’t go out for long.
Compared to the long life of a monster, it is only a short moment.
But because of the rare anxiety and irritability, the monster experienced the eternity of time for the first time.
Looking back now, the anxiety and irritability I felt at that time only left a faint trace.
A very novel experience.
The monster didn't want to experience it a second time.
The experience of trying so hard to convey your thoughts to the other party but never realizing it is really terrible.
