Chapter 399 The Child and the Key

"Coffee~"

Feifei narrowed his eyes slightly, and the curved arc seemed to be smiling.

"Ouch~owoo~"

Taotie rarely closed his eyes and fell asleep, searching the surrounding area very energetically.

Regarding the lack of discovery so far, a certain monster snorted quite angrily.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to the roasted sweet potatoes in the hands of passers-by on the roadside.

...

It smells so good that Taotie smacks his lips with salivation on his face.

Compared to the shadowless monster, the food in front of you is more real.

Taotie couldn't help but stretched out his claws and tugged Xiao Xiao's hair.

It's hungry.

The monsters are waiting for a feast later, so it would be nice to have some appetizers now.



Xiao Xiao has become very accustomed to Taotie who is always distracted by food.

I also turned a blind eye to my habit of having my hair pulled from time to time.

...

If he could satisfy the appetite of a glutton every time, he would basically not have to do anything else.

Because this glutton is basically hungry 24 hours a day, it salivates when it sees delicious food, and its stomach is like a bottomless pit, which cannot be filled no matter how much it is filled.

...

Anyway, Xiao Xiao later understood that hunger is the normal state of a certain monster, and it is not a big deal.

Moreover, from a certain perspective, Taotie is actually a very hungry monster.

After all, if conditions permit, this glutton will always eat.

...

However, for a certain monster who loves to eat, enduring hunger is probably a sadder thing than death, right?



Xiao Xiao straightened the ear wire next to his ear. He was a little helpless because of the persistent movement of a certain monster this time. He knew that Taotie was a little impatient. After all, for a hungry foodie, spending ten minutes looking for food is too long, let alone

It's been an hour now.

Xiao Xiao suddenly thought, if he really found a monster that he could attack, and he ended up feeding it to the monster summoned by the Yaojian, would a certain glutton go berserk?

Gee, it seems very possible.

Xiao Xiao seemed a little distressed, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

Thinking of the "pitiful person" behind Taotie, Xiao Xiao pressed the headphones in his ears and softly comforted an anxious monster with a "conscientious" tone, "Don't be anxious, monsters can't be discovered so easily."

"Ouch~"

It's hungry.

"What if you scare the monster away because you are so angry?"

"Ouch~"

It's hungry!

"Be good, be quiet."

"Oo-ooh~"

Damn it, it said it was hungry.

Taotie is going crazy.

This stupid human being! Can’t understand the monster, can he?!

Taotie soon realized that this human being really couldn't understand the monster's words.

Taotie's expression stiffened for a moment, and he couldn't help but stop pulling his hair.

After his face changed from blue to purple, Taotie curled his lips angrily.

Stupid humans can’t even understand what monsters say!



Xiao Xiao lowered his eyelids, covering up the smile that was about to overflow from inside.

Suddenly he felt the weight on his head move, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Did a certain Taotie think that if it spoke to him face to face, he would understand what it wanted to express?



Even if he understands, he still has to pretend to be confused.



Xiao Xiao's eyebrows stretched and he smiled brightly, but there was a hint of "malice" in his eyes.

A certain Taotie was inexplicably excited, and its body shook uncontrollably.

what happened?

The eyes under Taotie's armpits blinked in confusion.

I didn't know why I put this inexplicable feeling aside after a while.

The most important thing now is to let this stupid human take it to buy food!



Half of Taotie's body was already hanging in the air. Just when it opened its mouth to scream, Xiao Xiao unexpectedly stretched out his hand and pushed it back to the top of its head. Just when it was dazed for a moment and was about to get angry, it was discovered that the original

A human kid bumped into Xiao Xiao.



A child suddenly ran out of the alley, and Xiao Xiao couldn't avoid it.

However, looking at the way the child was unable to hold back, if he got out of the way, the child would most likely be thrown into the mud.

Helpless, Xiao Xiao turned around and directly supported the child who rushed into his arms with both hands.



"Kid, are you okay?"

When Xiao Xiao saw that the child had stood firm, he slowly released his hand holding the child's shoulders and asked warmly.

The child was obviously confused by the fact that there was someone outside the alley and the fact that he almost bumped into this person.

Hearing the voice in his ear, the child blinked a little sluggishly, but quickly came to his senses.

Children love to play and be noisy, and things like this don’t happen once or twice.

I was scolded many times by my parents for this reason.

However, the child refuses to change despite repeated admonitions.

As always, it is easy to walk without looking at the road, and when running, you are even less aware of the surrounding situation. An accident will result in a "crash".



"it's okay no problem."

"I'm sorry, big brother."

Although the child is reckless, he is a polite child.

"It's okay, next time-"

"Oops, I'm going to be late."

"Brother, I'm leaving first."

The child suddenly shouted and interrupted Xiao Xiao's words hastily. After a hasty explanation, he ran away in a hurry.

Well, Xiao Xiao silently swallowed the words "be careful next time" back to his stomach.

He shook his head amusedly.

Children are full of energy.



"Huh?"

Just when Xiao Xiao was about to lift his feet and leave here, he suddenly saw a flash of light in the corner of his eye.

This is?

Xiao Xiao knelt down and picked up something that caught his attention.

It's a key.

There is also a red string passing through the keyhole.



Isn't this... the child from just now?

Although it was just a guess, Xiao Xiao was already 90% certain.

It must have been the previous collision between the two that caused the key to fall from the child's body.



There was no other way. In order for the child not to be unable to return home later or to be scolded by the adults at home for losing the key, Xiao Xiao felt that he had better be a good person and give the key back to the child.

Xiao Xiao stood up and walked in the direction where the child ran away.



He followed the faint sound of running that he heard in his ears and followed it all the way to the bottom of a bridge across the river.

The sound of water gurgled, and the already cold air became a bit chillier due to the blessing of water vapor.

Xiao Xiao saw a few children chasing and playing by the river at a glance.

One of them was the child who almost bumped into him just now.



Xiao Xiao walked slowly towards the child.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of cardboard, newspapers, pots and pans and other miscellaneous items scattered beside the bridge pier, and I realized that some homeless people were "camping" here.

However, in such a cold weather, it’s still a bit cold to live by the river, right?
