Chapter 577: Not too old, not too small

Sister, what's your name?"

Ji Henghu, who was sitting on the edge of the cliff, suddenly asked.

The little girl was a little afraid of heights, but she was afraid that she would not be able to see the direction in which Dongfang Shuo was leaving, so she sat on the cliff about a foot away.

"My name is Wang Erya. ”

"Sister Erya, how did you meet your master?"

"Master?"

"It's Dongfang Shuo. ”

"Hmm...... That's how we met. ”

"How did you know each other?"

"I don't really understand, but he took me out of the bad guys and saved me, so he took me with him. ”

"That's the case, that sister must have been scared at the time, right?"

"yes, I'm scared. ”

"But now it's okay, if the master is there, my sister can rest assured. Ji Henghu looked at the bottom of the cliff, "But whatever the owner wants to protect, he has never missed." ”

"Is that so?"

"Yes. ”

"Brother Fat Cat, why do you call him master?"

"That's a long story. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Henghu's gaze looked in the direction of the sky.

In his mind, the scenes of the past began to appear.

From meeting Dongfang Shuo for the first time, to swallowing the Ukiyo-e Fire Lotus and returning to the egg, until it broke out of the shell again.

"That's right, that's good, you're all people with stories. ”

The little girl didn't ask much, but just sighed that their lives were so exciting.

Ji Henghu retracted his gaze and looked at the little girl.

"Sister, you're wrong, everyone has their own story. Ji Henghu said.

Looking at his immature face, the little girl also put on a sister's appearance and smiled slightly.

Then, the little girl shook her head and said, "No, it's not like that. In fact, I have longed for the outside world since I was a child, but I have never had the opportunity to come out of the mountains, and I can only hear stories about the outside world from the mouths of those uncles and uncles who came back from outside the mountains, as well as my father. I don't have a story, I just stayed in the mountains and grew up, that's all. ”

"That's a quiet story. ”

Ji Henghu looked into the distance again, "The outside world is both noisy and dangerous, and many people also yearn for a peaceful life, like my sister growing up slowly in the mountains, which will really make many people envious." ”

"Would you be envious?"

"I'm not, because I've always been with my master, since I was born. ”

The corners of Ji Henghu's mouth showed a happy smile.

Looking at his expression, the little girl's face gradually showed a calm color.

But then, the little girl crossed her knees, looked at the ground, and said, "But I never thought that I would leave that mountain because of this." In the way I least like it, I come to the outside world that I yearn for the most. ”

"That sister, do you still yearn for the outside world?"

"I don't know. The little girl shook her head, "If I don't yearn for it, in fact, I want to see more places and see more scenery." But if I talk about yearning, I'm also afraid, I'm also afraid of being alone, the world is so big and I can't find the feeling of home, I don't like it at all. ”

Ji Henghu nodded thoughtfully.

"Then after that, you talk to your master, and maybe he will send you home. ”

Then, Ji Henghu smiled at the little girl.

Perhaps, he couldn't. ”

The little girl lowered her gaze, and her eyes couldn't help but show a little sadness.

In fact, there are some things she just doesn't want to say, but in her heart, she understands it very well.

That home...... Can you really go back?

And it seemed that because he felt the mood swings of the little girl, Ji Henghu, whose feet fell outside the cliff, got up and sat next to the little girl.

"As long as the master is willing, even if he can't do it, he will try to do it. Ji Henghu said, "And even if you really can't do it in the end, then he won't give up on you, let alone leave you alone in this world." ”

"Really?"

The little girl looked at Ji Henghu beside her.

There was a little doubt in his eyes, but also a little expectation.

And Ji Henghu didn't look at her, just looked at the lake under the cliff.

"Really. ”

He nodded, his tone firm.

The little girl also looked at the lake, and suddenly turned sad into joy: "You are obviously taken by him like me, and your situation is not much better than mine, and you dare to say such things that you think you know him very well?"

Ji Henghu smiled slightly: "It is precisely because I have been taken by his side and experienced a lot of things with him that I can really understand what kind of person he is." ”

"Tell me, what kind of person is he?"

"Subjectively, he's a good guy. However, he is not a completely good old man, and it can even be said that he is unscrupulous and ruthless in order to achieve his goals, and as he grows older, his methods seem to become more and more vicious. In other words, he grew mentally faster than anyone else. ”

Ji Henghu's statement made the little girl slightly stunned.

Then the latter looked at the former, and reached out and touched the former's forehead.

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

The little girl asked.

Ji Henghu removed the hand on his forehead, and wondered: "No, why do you ask that?"

"But you are so young next year, but why do I can't understand most of the words you say?" the little girl pouted, and she also put on a helpless look.

When Ji Henghu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then smiled.

"Don't you understand?"

Ji Henghu said softly.

He looked at the lake, which was calm, barely a ripple under the mist, and there was not even a trace of wind on the lake.

"And has he always protected you?"

The little girl suddenly asked.

After Ji Henghu thought about it, he stood up and said, "Sort of." ”

"Since he's protecting you, will he have the energy to protect me?"

The little girl lowered her gaze.

And Ji Henghu looked at the little girl and said, "Although he protects me, he doesn't need to protect me all the time, he will definitely have the energy to protect you." If not, then I will protect you too, because you are the one the master wants to protect. ”

The little girl looked up at Ji Henghu: "You are not very old, but your tone is not small." He has the ability to protect me, but you don't seem to be as old as me, how can you protect me?"

No matter who you are, you may have such doubts.

Ji Henghu didn't think much about it, or rather, it was too late for him to think about the current situation.

The calm surface of the lake has already made Ji Henghu vigilant.

And just after the little girl's voice fell, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up on the calm lake, and the wind coiled in the center of the lake, which directly sucked the water under the lake out of the lake, forming a slender waterspout that quickly surged into the sky.

Immediately afterward, strong winds swept into the mountains around the lake, and the waterspout in the center of the lake quickly expanded outward.

At this moment, the dragon groaned, and then an ice-white dragon emerged from the waterspout, coiling the waterspout all the way up.

It wasn't until the white dragon reached the top of the waterspout that it turned around in the air hundreds of zhang high, and it rushed towards the peak where Ji Henghu and the others were located at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, a strong wind swept over the hills.
