Chapter 287: Caring about empty nesters, don’t let waiting become a regret! (Jin Xiu:?)
"How is it possible, how is it possible, absolutely impossible, this is not true, this is not true..."
Hong Li was pacing left and right, muttering incessantly, her face full of disbelief.
"How could Xiaoyun hang up my call? That's Xiaoyun. She promised to be the best sister, but she ended up...
No, I can't accept it, it's not true!
That's right, Xiaoyun must have encountered some danger, must have been kidnapped or something, that's why he can't answer my communication.
Yes! That must be the case! This is the only reasonable explanation. Xiaoyun is so easy to deceive, he must have been abducted!
I have to save Xiaoyun, I have to save her..."
"Hongli, please stop shaking. Are we tired?"
Hei Yang sat on the blanket, watching Hong Li walking around in front of him, and comforted him helplessly: "Hang up the communication doesn't mean that something is definitely in danger, right?
For example, when you are practicing at a critical moment, you should not be distracted.
Or maybe the communication spirit stone was used as a toy by Gaga.
It's also possible that Xingyun accidentally dropped the spirit stone, or that the spirit stone exploded just after she opened it. It's possible!
Although Xiaoyun looks lower than you and calls you senior sister, I remember that she is older than you, right?
If you are in a sect and are surrounded by brothers, sisters, elders and so on, the possibility of encountering danger is actually very small, right?"
"Oh, right."
Hei Yang stretched out a finger and said seriously: "There is still a possibility that Xiaoyun may be talking about someone, dating or something like that.
Imagine: Sister Hongli, please don’t call me again, I’m afraid of misunderstanding.
Snowflakes are fluttering, the north wind is blowing, the sky and the earth are one... ow!"
"Xiao Li..."
Hei Yang painfully touched the big bump that had just grown on his head, and couldn't help shouting: "I won't hit you so hard!"
"Huh?"
Hongli retracted her fist, rolled her eyes, pointed at the bump on her head and said, "Although I don't remember what happened, it was definitely you who did it!
Well, a large bag for couples is also very reasonable!"
"嘁."
"It's really you!"
Hong Li gritted her teeth and was about to pounce on Hei Yang to scratch Hei Yang when she was suddenly startled. The communication spirit stone in her hand automatically lit up. She turned around and her eyes lit up.
"Hey, look, look, Xiaoyun is back!"
Hongli instantly turned on her face and looked embarrassed.
"What am I talking about? Ha, now you know you are afraid, right? Do you regret hanging up on Sister Hongli's communication?
Oh, just now you ignored me, now I have made it impossible for you to climb up, I will not answer, I will not answer, I will leave you alone, and I will let you experience my anxious mood just now!"
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Okay, three seconds of drying her should be enough!"
Hongli nodded with satisfaction and connected the communication.
"Hmm..."
Xingyun's confused voice came from the screen, as if she had just gotten up?
Hong Li raised her eyebrows, and calmly took out a sheet from her storage bag and threw it on Hei Yang's head, covering his eyes.
After thinking about it, she still felt that it was not safe, so Hong Li quietly moved to Hei Yang's side, put her little hand on Hei Yang's shoulder, and pushed him gently. Hei Yang, who had been sitting there quietly for many years, lay down on the blanket.
.
Hongli thought for a while, then grabbed his legs and turned him over so that he was face down, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, Heiyang is in this position and is not allowed to move. If I tell you to move, move again!"
"Ouch..."
Hei Yang faced the loess and turned his back to the sky. After thinking for a while, he pulled off the sheet on his body and used it as a quilt. He moved his arms, changed into a comfortable position, and lay on the ground to sleep peacefully.
"Good brother, you are sensible enough!"
Hong Li gave Hei Yang a thumbs up and walked aside, only to see a squirming quilt appear on the screen.
Hongli raised her eyebrows, this scene looked familiar to her!
But before Hong Li could say anything, a thin white arm suddenly stretched out, holding the communication stone, and then the screen kept getting closer, revealing a confused face under the dim quilt.
"Ah, it's Sister Hongli..."
Xingyun came back to her senses after a while and smiled foolishly: "Good morning!
Quack, quack, where have you been? Oh, come here, say hello to auntie, ah, but it’s really early, Sister Hongli.
Well, I hadn’t woken up just now, so I thought it was the toy [Crowing Chicken] I just bought that was croaking, so I was like, hey hey hey... I’m sorry.”
"Uh, what kind of IQ tax is the crowing chicken..."
Hong Li turned to look at the rising sun, laughed twice, and admitted: "Well, it is indeed a bit early, serious people should still be sleeping..."
But Xiaoyun, you are not a serious person! (crossed out)
"But, I thought..."
Hongli coughed twice, looked at Xingyun lying dead on the bed, and asked half surprised and half curious: "Why are you at home?
No, I mean, aren’t you usually practicing at this time?
The kind of person who stays in seclusion in a secret room for several months without sleeping or resting. How come you just... woke up today?"
"Well, this..."
Xingyun waved his hand and said absently: "It doesn't hurt to combine work and rest occasionally. It doesn't hurt."
"Hey, what a strong sense of déjà vu. Will you become me after I leave..."
Hongli took a breath and was about to say something when her brows suddenly wrinkled and she realized something was wrong.
"Xiaoyun, your hair..."
Hongli asked cautiously: "Why is it still changing color?"
"Ha! Sister Hongli, you noticed it too, right?"
Xingyun suddenly got out of the quilt, revealing a head of messy pink hair, and said proudly: "How is it, your eyes light up!"
"Ah this..."
The corner of Hongli's mouth twitched: "You haven't dyed it before, you have already dyed it once..."
"Oh, oh, that's different, that's different!"
Xingyun said seriously: "The senior sister at the barber shop said that the one before was smart blue, and now this one is cute pink, which makes people look more girly. Change your hairstyle to reset your mood!"
"Ah this..."
Hongli didn't know what to say for a moment: "Although but..."
"Oh my, sister Hongli, you don't have to make such a fuss, this kind of look is very popular in the sect now!"
Xingyun found a small mirror and a comb from somewhere, and carefully combed her short hair, even more carefully than Hongli combed her long, straight black hair.
"If I don't mention anything else, let's just talk about Grandpa Huo. I saw that his hair changed three colors in four days.
Even the senior sister in the barber shop persuaded him, saying that although the dyes were harmless, if he was tossing them too frequently, the elder Grandpa Afraid of Fire might accidentally cause his hair to leave the loose follicles...
However, Elder Huo, Grandpa Huo, had a bad heart. He immediately slapped his chest and let out a heroic laugh that filled his heart. He immediately said: Dye! Dye hard. I have a great Nascent Soul repair and is full of vitality. How can I be afraid of this? I'm going to die. Cough cough. My hair will fall out.
It’s up to me! Don’t be afraid!”
Xingyun dances and describes vividly.
"I was still a little hesitant at the time, but I saw that people as old as Grandpa Huo were not afraid. What should I, a young man, be afraid of? I would just dye it and dye it hard!"
"Uh..."
Hongli was stunned for a moment and fell into thinking.
"Elder Fire...dye your hair? Did I seem to have forgotten something..."
"..."
Hei Yang, who was lying there with a corpse, frowned, raised his palms, and made a fist. A big fist with condensed spiritual power quietly appeared behind Hong Li's head, and then...
"Bang!"
"..."
"Ah? Sister Hongli, Sister Hongli?"
Xingyun felt that she vaguely heard a scream, which sounded very much like Sister Hongli's. She was so frightened that she quickly turned to look at the screen.
But I only saw the white sky, but soon the picture returned to normal, and the red glass with little stars in its eyes appeared again.
"Ah? What?"
Hongli tilted her head and soon realized.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Xiaoyun, I was distracted just now, hahaha. Actually, I came here to help you."
"Ah?"
Even people like Xing Yun were unable to realize the jumping nature of the topic. She pointed blankly at Hong Li's head.
"Hong, Senior Sister Hongli, you have a big bump on your head. Well, no, it's a big bump on top of the big bump!"
"Ah? Oh, this is not a big deal, and I don't know when it was done, but thinking about it, Hei Yang should be causing trouble."
Hong Li waved her hand nonchalantly, stretched out her hand to push down the big bag on her head, took a breath, and then smiled.
"Okay, it's okay, now we can get down to business!"
"Uh, Sister Hongli, tell me!"
"Well, here's the thing..."
Hongli looked at Xingyun with red eyes in the picture, nodded and said, "Is what I said clear?"
"Yeah! Sister Hongli..."
Xingyun wiped away her tears with a sad look on her face.
"That little sloth is so pitiful. He died outside without a father or a mother, and no one buries him. Woohoo..."
Hongli: "..."
Although, can't we speak more politely and be polite like her Hongli?
"This matter is all on me!"
Xingyun looked righteous, and said firmly: "As long as I, Xingyun, can do something, I will never shirk it!"
"Well, okay!"
Hongli nodded happily: "Xiaoyun, go and help me ask where Elder Huo went?"
"Ah? Grandpa Huo has retired!"
Xingyun scratched her head: "I guess you are playing in the city now?"
Hong Li: "???"
Is there such a thing?!
Well, memories, memories are about to burst out again...
"Bang!"
"..."
"Ahaha, sorry, sorry..."
Hongli apologized sheepishly: "I was distracted again just now, let's continue, continue!"
Xingyun: "..."
Although I don’t know what happened, my dad once said that when you encounter a confusing topic, laugh and ignore it, and then you can break out of the cycle!
"Well, if they are all elders, Elder Jin Xiu should also be able to do it, right?"
Xingyun holds the communication spirit stone in her hand and injects spiritual power to sense it.
"Let me send a message to Elder Jin for you..."
"Huh?"
Hongli looked confused: "You help me fight? How to help me?"
"Just like this!"
As soon as Xingyun finished speaking, Hongli saw with confusion that the screen in front of her suddenly split into two. One side was still Xingyun, but the other side showed the words "Inviting [Remarks: Elder Jin] to join the conversation". p>
Hong Li: "???"
"No, can you still play like this?"
Hongli pointed at herself in shock.
"Why can't I do this? Is it aimed at me?"
"This is the newly updated version."
Xingyun said with a smile: "This is my reward for being the number one disciple of the Fire Department now. It's a pity that Sister Hongli is not here, otherwise the elder will definitely give you, Sister Hongli, a new version of the communication spirit stone!"
Hongli: "..."
"Hey, what's the matter? It's just..."
Hongli turned her head away and muttered in a low voice with a look of displeasure on her face. She, Hongli, was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not fight for it. How could she be sour? She was not sour!
Jin Xiu's communication was passed quickly. She was sitting in front of the well-lit window, drinking hot tea with a leisurely expression. She turned to look at the communication. She was stunned for a moment, and then showed... uh, a kind smile! "Xiaoyun, and Xiaoli, it's you. What's wrong? Do you have anything to do with your sister?"
"Huh?"
Hongli tilted her head, looking at Elder Jin Xiu in the screen with surprise, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you Elder Jin Xiu?"
"Huh?"
Jin Xiu pointed at herself with a surprised look on her face.
"Isn't it like that? I'm not Jin Xiu?"
"Uh..."
Hong Li's expression was complicated. How do you feel that Elder Jin Xiu has suddenly become older?
She raised her head, thinking about the scene when Elder Jin Xiu was scolding her, and the scene where the other party roared, "You guys team up to play me," with such a lively look that he looked younger than her.
As a result, Hong Li frowned now. She seemed to see the shadow of Huo... in Elder Jin Xiu.
As soon as she thought of a certain elder in her mind, Hongli felt an inexplicable pain in her head and subconsciously skipped that taboo name.
Hongli couldn't help but touched her head and said humbly: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I feel like Elder Jin Xiu, you suddenly have the aura of a Taoist master!"
"Ah, you said this..."
Jin Xiu smiled and sighed: "In the past, there were senior brothers and sisters who were behind the scenes. I seemed a bit ignorant and like to make a fuss.
Now the senior brothers and sisters are not in the mountain gate, and the senior brother is still locked up in heaven to deal with the sect's affairs. I am the only one left in the Nascent Soul stage to still be active in the sect. Of course, I have to become more stable!
Well, maybe, this is inheritance! People always have to say goodbye to their naive self in the past!"
"Ah this..."
The corner of Hongli's mouth twitched. She was still more accustomed to the bohemian elder Jin Xiu. Now...
"It feels like I just left not long ago, and ended up changing the world directly..."
Hongli suddenly felt that "I am a remnant of the old era" and felt that things were right and people were different. She shed tears before she wanted to speak!
"Sister Hongli, Sister Hongli!"
Xingyun reminded in a low voice: "Stop feeling emotional and talking about the little sloth!"
"Oh, yes, yes!"
Hong Li reacted and didn't mind the trouble, so she told Elder Jin Xiu again.
"That's it. It's not like we two kids have nothing to do. Let's ask the elders what you can do..."
"What elder, call me sister!"
Jin Xiu subconsciously rolled his eyes, but instantly realized that he was now an elder, and instantly showed a kind expression.
"Kind Elders: From Getting Started to Being Driven Crazy" - Huo Le
"Ahem!"
Jin Xiu coughed twice and asked seriously: "Xiaoli, does the laziness you are talking about come from the same place as the anxiety before?"
"Yeah!"
Hong Li nodded and added: "But anxiety is a bad thing, and laziness is as cute as me and Hei Yang!"
Jin Xiu: "..."
"Please don't bring any private goods in the narrative, thank you!"
Jin Xiu said with a dark face.
"Hey, I still have this little patience with the elders. I feel like I'm not as patient as the elders..."
Hong Li muttered in a low voice until she saw a woman who was about to jump out and beat herself up, so she quickly returned to the topic.
"Now that Lazy is being hunted by Laoyou, I mean by our travel world, is there any way to help her solve it?"
Hong Li suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "By the way, what did you do to that anxiety before?"
Maybe we can learn from it...
"Kill it."
Hongli: "..."
Jin Xiu's face returned to calmness, and he said coldly: "Multiple natural disasters were maliciously caused, resulting in the displacement of tens of thousands of people, numerous casualties, and the harm to senior brother so miserably.
We tortured it first, then tortured it again, and then made it sincerely write a confession. Finally, we purified its evil heart and left peacefully with a smile on its face."
"Ahem, that's okay!"
The corners of Hong Li's mouth twitched, the sloth couldn't be more guilty than this.
"I actually don't know much about visitors from outer space..."
Jin Xiu shook his head, paused, and then said: "However, senior brother must know, I can help you ask him!"
"Ah this..."
Hongli scratched her head, why do so many people have to be contacted for this matter...
"Then, please ask Elder Jin Xiu!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Jin Xiu kicked the door open, was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back and pulled the door shut. He touched his non-existent beard behind his hands and gently pushed the door open with his spiritual power.
"Don't worry, senior brother is not far from here, it won't waste too much time!"
"Well, let's keep communicating..."
Hongli suggested: "This is more convenient."
"Sister Hongli! Sister Hongli!"
Xingyun raised her hands and said: "I'm going to eat, I'm leaving first!"
"Oh."
Hongli nodded in understanding and waved her hand: "Go, go, don't be hungry."
"Hmm!"
Xingyun said hey: "I want to eat honey sesame candy, cookies, big cakes, strawberry milk tea, ah, that's it for now, see you later, Sister Hongli!"
"Oh, goodbye!"
Hongli looked at Jin Xiu, who was the only one left in the screen who was moving at high speed, and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly scratched her head in confusion.
"Kid Xiaoyun, what I just said seems to be sweet...has the taste changed?"
